Description
Our minds tell us that some things in the universe must be true, but new physics shows that they are not, blurring the line between science and science fiction. This collection presents six accessible essays by writers who explore that boundary while moving further into the discovery of nature’s patterns, for readers fascinated by the deepest mysteries of the universe. It includes Richard Price’s “An Introduction to Spacetime Physics,” Stephen Hawking’s “Chronology Protection,” Igor Novikov’s “Can We Change the Past?”, Kip S. Thorne’s “Speculations about the Future,” Timothy Ferris’s “On the Popularization of Science,” and Alan Lightman’s “The Physicist as Novelist.”
