Twelve Mind-Blowing Ideas from the Cutting Edge of Science.
'The Universe Next Door' is about ideas that will leave your head spinning with their far-reaching ramifications. Like the notion that time could actually run backwards; or that we might live forever; or that our world may have been created as an experiment by superior beings in another universe.
It's about the making of tomorrow's science. It's about scientists with the courage and vision to try to see beyond the frontiers of today's knowledge. But, most of all, it is about the weird and wonderful universe we find ourselves in - one that continually reveals itself to be far stranger than anything we could possibly have invented.
Award-winning author Marcus Chown has written an exhilarating account of the investigations taking place at the cutting edge of science. He pays tribute to the exceptional individuals whose amazing ideas are pushing our imagination to the limit. And he provides us with a crystal clear guide which challenges our current understanding of the universe and pits the way to future thinking.
