Indistinguishable from MagicAntigravity Machines ! (six kinds) Space Warps! Black Holes! Strange Matter! Time Machines! Reactionless Drives! Faster than Light Drives! All the known ways to build real starships! Finally, someone who puts the "science" back in science fiction! Robert L. Forward, Ph.D. and physicist to the stars, gives us a tour of the "real" far-out physics theory being discussed by scientists today - and then shows us what it's all "for" in his science fiction stories showing people utilizing those theories, and the impact they will have on a future that is - "INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM MAGIC" |
