An exploration of mankind's fascination with worlds beyond our own-by the
bestselling author of “The Physics of Star Trek” Lawrence Krauss -an
international leader in physics and cosmology-examines our long and ardent
romance with parallel universes, veiled dimensions, and regions of being that
may extend tantalizingly beyond the limits of our perception. Krauss examines
popular culture's current embrace (and frequent misunderstanding) of such
topics as black holes, life in other dimensions, strings, and some of the more
extraordinary new theories that propose the existence of vast extra dimensions
alongside our own. BACKCOVER: “An astonishing and brilliantly written work of
popular science.” -Science a GoGo “A brilliant, thrilling book . . . You'll
have so much fun reading that you'll hardly notice you're getting a primer on
contemporary physics and cosmology.” -Walter Isaacson, author of “Benjamin
Franklin: An American Life”
