Review of Astrophysics for people in a hurry

Samskrith Raghav

Astrophysics For People In A Hurry is a book meant for people with abundant interest in astrophysics but little time to spare. It educates such people about the depths of cosmology and theoretical physics. All you need to know is sixth-grade level astrophysics and a relative idea of general and special relativity(pun intended=D). The book even provides little fun facts, like how gallium chloride was used to detect the elusive neutrino, or that dark matter is necessary for our calculations(otherwise the centrifugal force would rip most spinning galaxies apart). What’s more, it tells you why it is important to learn these facts in a cold, forbidding universe(maybe even a multiverse-the multiverse theory is currently the dominant theory in the world of astrophysics) in order to survive and thrive.
