"Ever wondered what the End Of The Universe might actually look like? Why the number 42 is so significant? Whether time travel really would put a stop to history as we know it? If so you are clearly a fan of Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, now a major motion picture." "Much of the book is sheer whimsy: talking mattresses, the Vogons, triple-breasted whores and that Ol' Janx Spirit. But like all good science fiction, it contains more than a grain of scientific fact. Adams was a science and technology enthusiast and his books were inspired by - prefigured even - many of the great scientific debates of our times." "The Science of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a light-hearted, accessible and informative tour of the real cutting-edge research behind the corner-stones of a cherished sci-fi classic - from the Big Bang to the end of the Universe via probability, supercomputing, time travel, instant translation, alien life and more."--BOOK JACKET.
