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

Dave Goldberg is a professor of physics at Drexel University, who earned his Ph.D. in astrophysics from Princeton University and is currently working on theoretical cosmology, examining how gravity can alter our understanding of the universe. This book is the... perfect guide to the most important and certainly the most fascinating questions in modern physics: “Is time travel possible?”, “Do parallel universes exist?”, “If the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into?”, “What happens if you look in the mirror while moving at the speed of light?”, “Why do particle colliders need to operate continuously? Aren't they just repeating the same experiments endlessly?” Humor, paradoxicality, fascination, and the accessibility of the exposition place this book alongside the bestsellers by G. Perelman, S. Hawking, B. Bryson, and B. Greene!
A true gift for everyone interested in modern science, from the curious high school student to their favorite teacher, from the philology student to the Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences!
