The Physics of Star Trek
What warps when you’re traveling at warp speed? What is the difference between a wormhole and a black hole? Are time loops really possible, and can I kill my grandmother before I am born? Anyone who has ever wondered could this really happen?” will gain useful insights into the Star Trek...

What warps when you’re traveling at warp speed? What is the difference between a wormhole and a black hole? Are time loops really possible, and can I kill my grandmother before I am born? 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. Lawrence M. Krauss boldly goes where Star Trek has gone-and beyond. From Newton to Hawking, from Einstein to Feynman, from Kirk to Picard, Krauss leads readers on a voyage to the world of physics as we now know it and as it might one day be.

Unabridged, and (unfortunately) read by the author; check out the way he pronounces buttocks, had me crying with laughter...Butt(pause)OxAnd buttocks was used :a:lot:
There's an interesting discussion of the physics of transporter beams in section 23.9 of Penrose's The Road to Reality. Among other things, Penrose points out that teleportation is, in principle, achievable by sufficiently ingenious use of quantum entanglement. It requires, however, that the origin...
Libro molto interessante e non solo per i fan della serie. Un minimo di basi di fisica sono necessarie per capire le spiegazioni dell'autore, ma credo sia una cosa ovvia visto il titolo :) Molto interessante l'ultimo capitolo dove vengono mostrati alcuni errori della serie.
This book is a complete and utter waste of time and space. While I like physics and while I enjoyed reading this book when it was given to me as a birthday present, when I think about it, and in fact the more I think about it, the more pointless it becomes. Granted, science fiction has been a vehicl...
