by Enrico Rodrigo (Author)
An accessible introduction to modern physics that focuses on wormholes and discusses among other topics their structure, stability, dynamics, operation as time machines, utility as portals to parallel universes, and their implications for the distant future of humanity. Read the wormhole FAQ and the bullet point "principles" scattered throughout to quickly absorb the basics of wormhole physics. Go back and read the interstitial material for greater depth. Written by a physicist with years of experience in gently introducing physics to the mathematically challenged, it also covers the history of wormhole physics and delineates the unsolved problems at the forefront of research.
Author Biography
Enrico Rodrigo is a Caltech physics graduate, who obtained his doctorate in physics at the University of Texas at Austin studying under wormhole pioneer John Wheeler. He taught physics for several years at Arizona State University and at the University of California. His most recently published research has explored wormholes in the context of braneworlds.
