Krauss's next book, Beyond Star Trek: Physics from Alien Invasions to the End of Time, was published in 1997. The book was revised and updated by Krauss in 2007. The hardcover edition was published in November 1995, and a paperback edition followed in September 1996. Krauss dismissed the idea but later thought that using Star Trek might get people interested in real physics. Krauss got the idea for writing the book from his publisher, who initially suggested it as a joke. It was also the basis of a BBC television production. As of 1998, it was being translated into 13 different languages. It became a national bestseller and sold more than 200,000 copies in the United States. The Physics of Star Trek was met with generally positive reviews. The book includes a foreword by cosmologist Stephen Hawking. He also discusses time travel, light speed, pure energy beings, wormholes, teleportation, and other concepts that are staples of the Star Trek universe. He investigates the possibility of such things as inertial dampers and warp drive, and whether physics as we know it would allow such inventions.
Krauss discusses the physics involved in various concepts and objects described in the Star Trek universe. It is the third book by Krauss, who later wrote a follow-up titled Beyond Star Trek in 1997. The Physics of Star Trek is a 1995 non-fiction book by the theoretical physicist Lawrence M.
