Description

Written by a renowned theoretical physicist, this book boldly goes where Star Trek has gone before. Lawrence M. Krauss reveals what the series got right--and wrong--in a fascinating voyage through the frontiers of science. The book investigates the plausibilities of faster-than-light speed, holodecks, and cloaking devices and explains the physics behind real-life phenomena shown in the series such as anti-matter and neutrinos.
