Chapter 13 - Black Holes: A String/M-Theory Perspective
or 
The pre-string theory conflict between general relativity and quantum mechanics was an affront to our visceral sense that the laws of nature should fit together in a seamless, coherent whole. But this antagonism was more than a towering abstract disjunction. The extreme physical conditions that occurred at the moment of the big bang and that prevail within black holes cannot be understood without a quantum mechanical formulation of the gravitational force. (Epsilon=One: A lot of words to say that physicists have NO quantitative proof of a Big Bang and Black Holes. Both of which are ludicrous and fly in the face of 21st century logic.) With the discovery of string theory, we now have a hope of solving these deep mysteries. In this and the next chapter, we describe how far string theorists have gone toward understanding black holes and the origin of the universe. or
