The Iron Sun: Crossing the Universe Through Black Holes
Seller: Riley Books, Oswaldtwistle, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hard Back. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Plus. Ex Library. Ex-library copy with remains of gummed stamp label on opening page and the usual rubber stamps internally. 176 pages including the index. Dj protected in library cover and has no wear or tears and is bright and clean. Pages show some light tanning, mainly towards the edges. The stars, other suns like our own, are vastly distant from us - millions of times further than the furthest of our local planets. Travelling to them, even at the fastest speeds which can now be conceived, would mean voyage-times ranging from decades to thousands of years. In The Iron Sun Adrian Berry shows how this fundamental obstacle to man's conquest of interstellar travel could be overcome. He shows how it would be both economically and technologically possible within about 250 years' time, for a spaceship to travel instantaneously in space - to disappear in one place and reappear the very next instant in another, without passing any point in between. Size: 9" x 5 1/2". Book. Seller Inventory # 008111
