The Physics of Star Trek was a genuine publishing phenomenon and, for science text, elicited an enormous and unprecedented positive response from mainstream popular culture. Flooded with multitudes of requests for more, Krauss has risen to the challenge. Tackling the unexplained phenomena that many people believe in (or want to believe in), he puts science fiction and the paranormal under his magnifying glass.Rather than simply attempting to debunk paranormal controversies like ESP, Krauss, from the perspective of a physicist, asks and answers in his clear, accessible way questions such as, "What would it take for ESP to exist?" This technique allows him to provide arguments -- grounded in known physics -- about what should and should not be believed on such topics as: -- The existence of life on Mars (in light of the recent evidence)-- Interplanetary and intergalactic space travel by earthlings-- The Roswell, New Mexico, incident and the possibility of a conspiracy-- Alien abductionsTaking on some of the greatest unanswered questions of our time, Lawrence Krauss combines science and entertainment to create the greatest mix of the two since, well, The Physics of Star Trek.Strassels, Paul N. is the author of 'Money Matters : The Hassle-Free Month-by-Month Guide to Money Management', published 1986 under ISBN 9780465006380 and ISBN 0465006388.
