The Engaging Universe. A Journey Among Black Holes, Time Paradoxes, and Quantum Uncertainty

Dave Goldberg — a physics professor at Drexel University, received his Ph.D. in astrophysics from Princeton University and is currently working on theoretical cosmology, studying how gravity can change our understanding of the Universe. This book — an ideal guide to the most important and, of course, the most fascinating questions of modern physics: «Is time travel possible?», «Do parallel universes exist?», «If the Universe is expanding, where is it expanding to?», «What happens if, accelerating to the speed of light, you look at yourself in the mirror?», «Why are particle colliders needed, and why should they operate continuously? Aren't they just repeating the same experiments endlessly?» Humor, paradox, fascination, and accessibility of the narrative place this book on the same shelf as the bestsellers of G. Perelman, S. Hawking, B. Bryson, and B. Greene!

A real gift for everyone interested in modern science, — from a curious high school student to their favorite teacher, from a philology student to a Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences!
