De: Lawrence M. Krauss

Narrado por: Larry McKeever

Explore the science behind one of television’s greatest series.

What’s it like traveling at warp speed? What are the different types of dark matter and black holes? Learn all this and more!©1995 Lawrence M. Krauss; (P)1996 Books on Tape, Inc.

Good stuff

Very interesting listen for any Star Trek fan. Narrator is kind of monotone but very soothing at the same time.

Good listen!

If you could sum up The Physics of Star Trek in three words, what would they be?

Lawrence Krauss is a prominent theoretical physicist today, but this was written back in the 1990s. Wow! Great insights on what is possible and what may be impossible. Who doesn't love Star Trek? I just watched the Voyager episode last night!

Pretty good read, despite the fack that it's now 2

This is an interesting read considering it was written years ago. Since its publication, there have been numerous advancements in the field of physics and other related sciences. So many of the refutations and limitations imposed by the author and his known sciences has changed since then. If one reads it with the open mind of a comparative historian, it's a very interesting read. I wonder how accurate it will be 25 or even 50 years from now.

This was super great!

I enjoyed everybit of it. Even listen to it twice! The Narrated did a great job reading and even when I didn't have the picture to see what he was talking about I was able to follow along and get the meaning of what he said. I was able to better understand what physics is. This was a great way of learning it. Time travel, space, planets, blackholes... all was explained almost too easy. Love it and would recommend it to anyone who wants to understand the basics of physics.

Fascinating

Very interesting indeed. I actually listened to it a few times. Every time I learn something new.
