The Physics of Star Trek
Autor Lawrence M. Kraussen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 iul 2007
How
does
the
Star
Trek
universe
stack
up
against
the
real
universe?
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
theStar
Trekuniverse
(and,
incidentally,
the
real
world
of
physics)
in
this
charming
and
accessible
guide.
Lawrence
M.
Krauss
boldly
goes
whereStar
Trekhas
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.

Recenzii
"The
essential
tubeside
companion
for
the
fans
of
the
venerable
Star
Trek
series."—Washington
Post
"This book is fun...Krauss is always enlightening."—New York Times Book Review
What makes Krauss's book a winner is that it provides a pulpit for a thoughtful sermon on the possibilities locked in a universe that might or might not include a planet called Vulcan and a language called Klingon but that certainly could - in theory - deliver an antigravitational force called vacuum energy.—The Guardian
"A fascinating way to learn more about physics."—St. Petersburg Times
"One of the year's best gifts for a science-fiction fan."—Cleveland Plain Dealer
"The Physics of Star Trekis a fun, readable little book by an eminent physicist that boldly goes where few serious scientists have ever gone before."—Tampa Tribune
Even those who have never watched an episode of Star Trek will be entertained and enlightened by theoretical physicist Krauss's adventurous investigation of interstellar flight, time travel, teleportation of objects and the possibility of extraterrestrial life.—Publishers Weekly
