- Summary:
- Kip Thorne believes that someday, if a civilization far more advanced than ours could harness and manipulate "wormholes," theoretical tunnels through space and time, they might be able to go back in time to arrive at a place before departing. Discover the wicked paradoxes of his theory, and learn how the emergence of new "quantum gravity" laws are creating heated scientific debate. And see how Thorne and other top scientists from around the world, including physicist Stephen Hawking, are pushing the limit in an attempt to understand the true nature of time and space.
