What exactly "warps" when traveling at warp speed? What distinguishes the holodeck from a hologram? What occurs during a beaming? Are time loops feasible, and can one kill a grandmother before being born? Fans of "Star Trek" have long sought answers to such questions. Lawrence M. Krauss, a renowned theoretical physicist and educator, provides insights into the "Star Trek" universe and the real universe in this engaging and accessible volume. Anyone curious about the plausibility of these concepts will find valuable information here. Krauss explores the "Star Trek" future as a springboard to discuss cutting-edge modern physics, taking readers from Newton to Hawking, Einstein to Feynman, and Kirk to Janeway. He guides the audience through the current understanding of physics and its potential future. The book also features the Top 10 biggest physics bloopers in "Star Trek," as chosen by Nobel Prize-winning physicists and devoted Trekkers. This work combines fun with substance, making complex topics approachable. As Stephen Hawking notes in the foreword, investigating the physics behind "Star Trek" is essential, as today's science fiction often becomes tomorrow's science fact.
