He and the team of authors begin byintroducing such fundamental concepts as space and time and continue with tunnelingphenomena from optics, nuclear and solid state physics. Avoiding mathematical equations anddefinitions altogether, they explain step-by-step the prerequisites for the tunnel effect to function,from classical mechanics to quantum mechanics, right up to modern topics, such as wormholesand space travel à la Star Trek.With a foreword by astronaut Ulrich Walter, science team member of the D-2 Space ShuttleMission.1 of 27/23/2009 8:40 PMWiley::Zero Time Space: How Quantum Tunneling Broke the Light Speed...http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-3527407359.htmlABOUT WILEY:Careers | Locations | Investor RelationsRESOURCES FOR:Authors | Instructors | Librarians | Societies | BooksellersGet RSS Feeds of New Wiley Titles Privacy Policy | Site Map | Contact Us | HelpCopyright © 2000-2009 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., or related companies.
