Más información sobre el libro
What exactly "warps" when traveling at warp speed? What distinguishes the holodeck from a hologram? What occurs during beaming? Are time loops possible, and can one kill their grandmother before being born? Until now, fans of "Star Trek" struggled to find answers to such pressing questions. Lawrence M. Krauss, a renowned theoretical physicist and educator, has crafted an essential physics book for both Trekkers and non-Trekkers. Anyone curious about the feasibility of these concepts will uncover valuable insights into the "Star Trek" universe and, by extension, the real universe in this engaging and accessible volume. Krauss explores the "Star Trek" future as a springboard to delve into modern physics, guiding readers from Newton to Hawking, Einstein to Feynman, and Kirk to Janeway. He takes readers on a journey through the physics we currently understand and what it may become. The book also includes the Top 10 biggest physics bloopers in "Star Trek," chosen by Nobel Prize-winning physicists and dedicated fans. This work is both entertaining and substantive, appealing to those drawn in by its playful approach. As Stephen Hawking notes in the foreword, exploring the physics behind "Star Trek" is a worthy endeavor that expands the human spirit beyond terrestrial confines.
