Is it possible to travel through time and kill your grandfather? If the universe is infinite, where are all the aliens? Is Schrödinger’s cat dead or alive, or both? Jim Al-Khalili takes us on a mind-expanding tour through these and other universal puzzles that have kept scientists pushing the limits of our understanding.
Jim Al-Khalili is professor of Physics here at Surrey, where he also holds a Chair in the Public Engagement in Science. But his reputation extends well beyond the Surrey campus; in addition to being a Vice President and Trustee of the British Science Association and holding an EPSRC Senior Media Fellowship, he is well known through his regular TV and radio broadcasts such as Shock and Awe and The Life Scientific.
