Cover blurb:
Is there life on other planets? Is interstellar travel possible? Can a robotic dog catch a cold? Could Cybermen take over the world? What about telepathy? Even for an alien? Take a journey with the Time Lords as Michael White guides us through the science behind the fiction. Drawing on the latest discoveries, on shows from Star Trek to The X-Files and films like Twelve Monkeys and Contact, he asks (among other things): is time travel possible through a wormhole? What are the dangers? Could we make contact with life on other planets? And what would an alien look like? He explores areas as varied as crystal power, robotics, shape-shifting and multi-dimensions, not to mention the mysterious science of ‘chameleon technology’ currently under study by major military organizations. We even discover how, with the use of cybernetics to replace body parts — or maybe regenerate whole bodies — Doctor Who could hold the key to eternal life. A book for avid fans and the merely curious alike, A Teaspoon and an Open Mind reveals that reality is even stanger than science fiction. |
