Fully revised and updated to include the latest discoveries in
cosmic science, "the essential tubeside companion for the fans of
the venerable Star Trek series" Washington Post.
What warps when you''re traveling at warp speed? What is the
difference between a wormhole and a black hole? Are time loops
really possible, and can I kill my grandmother before I am
born?
Anyone who has ever wondered "could this really happen?" will
gain useful insights into the Star Trek universe and,
incidentally, the real world of physics in this charming and
accessible guide. Lawrence M. Krauss boldly goes where Star
Trek has gone--and beyond. From Newton to Hawking, from
Einstein to Feynman, from Kirk to Picard, Krauss leads readers on a
voyage to the world of physics as we now know it and as it might
one day be.
