Beyond Star Trek from alien invasions to the end of time
In the best-selling "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 and how it stacked up against the real universe. Now, responding to the requests for more, as well as to a number of recent discoveries in physics and astronomy, Krauss turns a provocative eye to how the laws of physics relate to notions from our popular culture, not only in "Star Trek", but in other films, shows, and popular lore, from "Independence day" to "Star wars" to "The X-files". In his books and popular lectures, Krauss has been compared to the late Carl Sagan, as one of the pre-eminent scientists writing today for the general public with humor and clarity. Beyond Star Trek establishes him as today's major voice in the discussion of cutting-edge ideas arising out of our growing knowledge of the universe.
