Using an inspired combination of geometric logic and metaphors from familiar human experience, Bucky invites readers to join him on a trip through a four-dimensional Universe, where concepts as diverse as entropy, Einstein's relativity equations, and the meaning of existence become clear, understandable, and immediately involving. In his own words: "Dare to be naive... It is one of our most exciting discoveries that local discovery leads to a complex of further discoveries."

MEDIA SHIPPING ONLY, extra for airmail or international shipping. I remember when Bucky would come to town to oversee the dome company which was close to my house. In fact two domes no longer still stand at the NC State Fair Grounds, 2 blocks from my house. He would usually give a speech. What a great speaker. Started his dome work at Black Mountain in NC. I picked up a Bucky stamp at the post office, I should have bought a lot of them. Seller Inventory # 105928
