Description: In the
bestselling The Physics of Star Trek, the renowned theoretical physicist
Lawrence Krauss took readers on an entertaining and eye-opening tour of the
Star Trek universe. Now, responding to requests for more as well as to a number
of recent exciting discoveries in physics and astronomy, Krauss takes a
provocative look at how the laws of physics relate to notions from our popular
culture—not only Star Trek, but other films, shows, and popular lore—from
Independence Day to Star Wars to The X-Files.With his books and popular
lectures, Krauss has been compared to the late Carl Sagan as one of the
preeminent scientists writing with humor and clarity for the general public.
Beyond Star Trek
establishes him as today’s leading voice in the discussion of cutting-edge
ideas that arise from our growing knowledge of the universe. Join him on a fun
mind-bending journey through the nature of alien visitation, interstellar
travel—including the very latest on warp-drive systems—time, consciousness,
ESP, the probability of other life in the universe, and quantum reality.Once
again Krauss has turned to his colleagues including the foremost theoretical
physicists in the world, asking them about the greatest unsolved mysteries of
the universe. The answers will surprise you.So buckle up and get ready for an
exciting trip that takes the question ”Could this ever really happen?” to new
heights and will give you new insights into your favorite science fiction and
your favorite universe!
