About This Item

London England: Arrow. Good. 2004. Reprint. Soft Cover. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo 0099428083 Paperback Paperback. Faster Than the Speed of Light. The Story of a Scientific Speculation. Crease to front cover. Very slight browning to edges of pages through age. According to orthodox physics, as enshrined in Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, light travels at one speed and one speed only - it is one of natures constants. This idea is considered sacred. It is one of thew foundations of modern physics. But what if it's wrong. In this remarkable book, the author puts forward an extraordinary speculation - that light travelled faster in the early universe than it does today. Tracing the story of this revolutionary idea from its conception, this book tells of one man's quest to decipher the true nature of the universe, providing a first glimpse of twenty-first-century physics, as well as providing a fascinating an revealing insight into the reality of how science is done. 275 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
