Annotation
In August 1930, a young Indian scientist, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar calculated that certain stars could end their lives by collapsing indefinitely to a point, to nowhere. This idea brought Chandra into conflict with Sir Arthur Eddington, who ridiculed the idea. This book teases out the major implications of this infamous event.
