  • Hardback Book with Dust Jacket by LAWRENCE M. KRAUSS
  • Copyright © 1995 by Lawrence M. Krauss
" If you enjoy watching Star Trek, you're in good
company. Some of the most distinguished physicists in the
world, from Kip Thorne to Steven Weinberg and Sheldon Glashow,
tune in, and a popular pastime at professional physics meetings
and over e-mail is a discussion of the science in the series.
Now you can join the fun.

How does the Star Trek universe stack up against the real
universe? Find out what the series creators got right-and wrong-
about science in this fascinating guide by a renowned theoretical
physicist.

Anyone who has ever wondered, "could this really happen?" will gain
useful insights into the Star Trek universe (and, incidentally.
the real world of physics) in this charming and accessible guide.
