Astrophysics and Cosmology for Non-mathematicians is a combination of Astrophysics for Non-mathematicians and Cosmology for a Newbie.

ARE WE SURROUNDED BY SOME KIND OF SPACETIME HORIZON? We are unable to witness a part of the universe. The boundary that separates us from this part of the universe is the 'Cosmological Horizon'. Anything that lies beyond our Cosmological horizon, cannot influence us in any way, not even by gravity. The world outside that just seems unreal. DO YOU KNOW THAT WE CREATE A HORIZON AROUND OURSELVES WHENEVER WE ACCELERATE? Yes! That's true, when we move or accelerate in flat spacetime (away from any gravitational influence) we actually create a horizon called 'The Rindler horizon' around ourselves. Outside this Rindler horizon like the event horizon, the part of the universe just seems unreal or non-existent. DO YOU KNOW, OUR PLANET HEATS THE MOON?Yes, our planet increases the temperature of the moon…. Further continued in this book......

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 moreThis 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.
