  Black Holes and Beyond - The...

  Black holes are some of the most fascinating and mysterious objects in the universe. These regions of space are so dense that their gravitational pull is strong enough to prevent anything, even light, from escaping. The term "black hole" was first coined by physicist John Archibald Wheeler in 1967, though the concept dates back to the early 20th century, when Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity suggested that objects could collapse into singularities, points of infinite density. A black hole is the result of such a collapse, where a star's mass is concentrated in an infinitely small space. 
  At the heart of a black hole is the singularity, surrounded by a boundary known as the event horizon. The event horizon marks the point beyond which nothing can escape the black hole’s gravitational influence. This includes not only matter but also radiation, which is why black holes appear "black." Despite their invisibility, black holes are detectable through their interactions with surrounding matter, such as the accretion of gas and dust that emits detectable radiation. 
  The formation of a black hole typically begins when a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel. Without the outward pressure from nuclear fusion to counterbalance gravity, the core of the star collapses under its own weight. If the star is massive enough, this collapse can continue, compressing the core into a singularity. The outer layers of the star are expelled in a supernova explosion, and the remaining core becomes a black hole.

  Design for Cognitive Bias

  We humans are messy, illogical creatures who like to imagine we’re in control—but we blithely let our biases lead us astray. In Design for Cognitive Bias, David Dylan Thomas lays bare the irrational forces that shape our everyday decisions and, inevitably, inform the experiences we craft. Once we grasp the logic powering these forces, we stand a fighting chance of confronting them, tempering them, and even harnessing them for good. Come along on a whirlwind tour of the cognitive biases that encroach on our lives and our work, and learn to start designing more consciously. 
  THIS BOOK EXPLORES: 
  • Why our brains take shortcuts—and why that matters in our work 
  • How bias influences everything from user behavior to stakeholder decision-making to team dynamics 
  • Techniques for noticing your own biases, and using them for good where you can 
  • Making more humane and conscientious products and experiences
