Here are six accessible es…says by those who walk that line, moving ever further out in discovering the patterns of nature, aimed at readers who share their fascination with the deepest mysteries of the universe. Richard Price: "An Introduction to Spacetime Physics" Stephen Hawking: "Chronology Protection" Igor Novikov: "Can We Change the Past?" Kip S. Thorne: "Speculations about the Future" Timothy Ferris: "On the Popularization of Science" Alan Lightman: "The Physicist as Novelist". The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Format is approximately 5.75 inches by 8.75 inches. 220, [4] pages. Illustrations. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Introduction by Richard Price. Glossary. Index. This book owes its existence to the Kipfest celebration at Caltech at the beginning of June 2000…. A group of leading physicists--Stephen Hawking, Kip S. Thorne, Igor Novikov, Timothy Ferris, and Alan Lightman--paints a vivid portrait of the possible future of black holes, gravity holes, and time travel in six essays that explore the deepest mysteries of the universe. Our minds tell us that some things in the universe must be true. The New Physics tells us that they are not, and in the process, blurs the line between science and science fiction. The essays are: ⢠Richard Price: "An Introduction to Spacetime Physics"; ⢠Stephen Hawking: "Chronology Protection"; ⢠Igor Novikov: "Can We Change the Past?"; ⢠Kip S. Thorne: "Speculations about the Future"; ⢠Timothy Ferris: "On the Popularization of Science"; and ⢠Alan Lightman: "The Physicist as Novelist". The following was derived from a University of Utah New Archive summary by Kate Ferebee. Spacetime "encompasses all locations and all times," Price says. "Prior to Einstein, connecting them seemed to be pointless because time and space were physically distinct. Einstein showed in fact that the two are mixed, much as âforward' and âright' are." He says the physics of spacetime underlies some of the broadest, unsettled questions in science, including "what is time, does the universe have an edge, what is the ultimate fate of everything?" "Up until the early 1960s, the heavens seemed pretty simple," says Price. "Only details needed to be worked out. Then there came quasars, pulsars, gamma ray bursts. It almost seems as if as time goes by, we know less and less about the universe. . Now, around the turn of the millennium, it is appropriate to contemplate what lies ahead in a world in which cutting-edge science opens more questions than it closes." The book stems from a June 3, 2000, celebration of the 60th birthday of Thorne, a Logan, Utah, native who works as a physicist at the California Institute of Technology. The chapters in "The Future of Spacetime" are adapted from popular talks delivered at that celebration. "Because the level of complexity varies from chapter to chapter, the book will appeal to a wide variety of readers," Price says. "This is nothing like a textbook. This may seem highfalutin stuff, but it wouldn't be out of place as beach reading." Price wrote the book's 43-page introduction, which is longer than all but one of the chapters. In it, he provides what he calls "a minimalist sketch of just what it is that physicists do when they say they are working on spacetime." "Relativity, or spacetime physics, with its aura of black holes and an expanding universe, grabs our attention because it is the stuff of daily life - space and time - made exotic, as if the librarian has driven by in a Ferrari wearing a sarong," Price writes in his introduction. "An interest, perhaps an obsession, with the nature of space and time is as old as human thought." Hawking and Novikov "write about time travel and why it is logically possible, but probably physically impossible, although at least one kind of time travel is possible. We all travel forward in time," says Price. "Kip Thorne is on a scouting mission ahead of the rest of us, speculating about what lies ahead in the physical sciences in the next few decades. Alan Lightman and Tim Ferris write about the relationship of this kind of science to the public and to the lives of those who do it." Price's research involves exotic astrophysics, which he defines as "what we believe is out there that depends crucially on Einstein's curved spacetime theory of gravity." In particular, he studies the relationship between black holes and gravitational waves, which are oscillations or "ripples" in spacetime predicted by relativity and generated by violent astrophysical.
