This puzzle was the starting point of a path of investigation and discovering that involved some of the greatest and boldest scientific minds of our time. It led to the revelation of such phenomena as black holes and pulsars, and brought us to the brink today of solving the ultimate mystery of creation.Frozen Star is the story of this momentous and suspenseful chain of events - of the remarkable people and ideas involved, and the awesome insights and implications of our new knowledge of the universe and the forces that control it.
