In the last letter he sent to his wife from Russia, written the same day he chose to share his discovery with Einstein, Schwarzschild complains of something strange that has begun to grow inside him: “I don’t know how to name or define it, but it has an irrepressible force and darkens all my thoughts. It is a void without form or dimension, a shadow I can’t see, but one that I can feel with the entirety of my soul.”
Soon afterwards, that shadow invaded his body.

Great book! I enjoyed it, it made me wonder about life a lot, and I learnt a lot. I spend time in between reading investigating things mentioned in the book, so when somebody asked my son what is his mom doing, he replied: she's learning physics.😂
