Satisfy your curiosity to learn complex astrophysics concepts non-mathematically.

If you are curious to enjoy complex astrophysics concepts and want to skip math in between and rather enjoy physical illustrations then you are at the right place. Don't let complex differential calculus, tensors, coordinate transformations, etc hinder your curiosity to know our universe (at least at some scale!). The book will fulfill your non-physicist level of curiosity to learn astrophysics concepts like black holes, wormholes, gravitational lensing, spacetime cutoffs, and many more

This book combines established astrophysics results and the author's lens to look at this universe being illustrated by pure imagination. The difficulty level of this book is medium and it strongly focuses on making concepts imaginative and understandable enough. And surely it would astound you as imagining astrophysics is another level of feeling.


Story Behind the making of ASTROPHYSICS FOR NON-MATHEMATICIANS :

I am Hiten Shelar, an Astrophysicist and Philosopher. My interest in the universe goes way back when I was just a wee lad of 5. But it was the film Interstellar that really got my gears turning when I was 14. Then, my math skills were pretty good at that time, but not quite advanced enough for understanding the complexities of astrophysics. So, I made it my mission to learn all the math I needed to understand this field, and it took me a solid four years to do it!

However, during those years, I had a hell of a time trying to quench my thirst for knowledge about the universe without relying on mathematics. That's when I realized that our universe is mind-blowing even when we try to imagine it without math, just using our imagination (say at least at a definite extent).

That's when I had the bright idea to write ASTROPHYSICS FOR NON-MATHEMATICIANS, where I share all my juicy non-mathematical knowledge about astrophysics that I accumulated over those four years. Now, even though I'm equipped with advanced math skills, I still believe that my book is a real treasure trove for anyone who's curious about the universe and wants to understand it without getting bogged down by complex math.

So, if you want to discover the secrets of the universe without having to deal with those pesky numbers and formulas, then ASTROPHYSICS FOR NON-MATHEMATICIANS is the book for you.
