Details the events surrounding Roy P. Kerr's discovery of the solution for Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity in 1963, and discusses how his accomplishment has impacted the work of later scientists--including Kip Thorne and Stephen Hawking--in their efforts to better understand black holes.
Describes potential universes, such as ones that spin and bounce or multiply without limit, that physicists and mathematicians have hypothesized may exist based on Einstein's theory of relativity.
