I love this book more than life itself. It talks about the possibility of using wormholes for rapid interstellar travel not just for astronauts but for people like you and me:tourists ,businessmen etc and the possibility of using them for time travel as well. I've had a fascination with Black Holes since I saw the Disney movie The Black Hole and what fascinated me about them is they could take you to another part of the universe or another universe altogether. Halpern gives perfect detail of wormholes theorized by Kip Thorne,Michael Morris,Ulvi Yurtsever and Matt Visser and starships flying through them and what it would be like to enter a wormhole and a time travel expedition by an astronaut and the possibility of mining black holes around the year 2500. The final chapter is the most interesting of all as Halpern imagines life in the year 2500 when interstellar travel through wormholes is as common as air travel is today. People enter a wormhole at the edge of the solar system and arrive at a space station at the center of the galaxy called Galaxy Central where there are thousands of womholes leading to all parts of the galaxy. If you're into Star Wars,Star Trek,Buck Rogers in the 25th century or just dream of visiting other worlds and other galaxies or travelling through time. This is the book for you!

This book is very interesting and extremely simple to understand. Although the application of this sort of science is still far off, there's no denying that it could some day affect all of us.

I must laud the author of this book; he took a seemingly interesting topic and managed to suck all the life out of it. Let me be Frank with you; although the book isn't very well written, the topic itself is interesting. If you can cut through the boring mire from this self proclaimed "Star Trek fanatic," you may be able to enjoy yourself. I wasn't and didn't.

Love sellers who ship their items fast. This is that kind! Haven;'t read book yet, but what I see of it so far, looks good!
