Lorentzian Wormholes: From Einstein to Hawking (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781563966538)

Drawing on pivotal work by Einstein, Wheeler, Morris, Thorne, and Hawking, the author charts the development and current state of Lorentzian wormhole physics. Dr. Visser shows that by pushing established physical theories to their limits, it is possible to deduce the physical properties of such exotica as wormholes and time travel. Physicists, students of general relativity, cosmology, quantum physics, or any interested reader with a background in physics wil find this a provocative introduction to an exciting and active topic of ongoing research.
