With the belief that storytelling and learning about science are an important marriage, physicist and author Brian Greene has blended the traditional Icaraus myth with black hole research in his new book “Icaraus at the Edge of Time.” Accompanied by full-color images from the Hubble Space Telescope, “Icaraus” is an all-ages book that aims to explain the mind-blowing scientific discoveries around black holes – “regions of space threaded by such powerful gravity that anything venturing too close is unable to escape.” Join Greene for a discussion and book signing of “Icaraus” at CalTech.
