Wormholes have been featured in many movies, but can they really exist? Wormholes are a prediction of scientific theories, and the precision of mathematics allows them to be described, even before they have ever been seen. Untangling complex physics theories with accessible language and captivating imagery, this text explores the development and evaluation of scientific theories behind wormholes. Supporting the Next Generation Science Standards' emphasis on scientific collection and analysis of data and evidence-based theories, this book will help students grasp the importance of mathematical models of reality, laying the groundwork for a deeper understanding of the nature of science."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Wormholes in the imagination -- Theories of gravity -- What is the universe? -- Scientific reasoning -- Proving general relativity -- Through the wormhole. 650 0 $a Wormholes (Physics) $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Space and time $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Cosmology $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a General relativity (Physics) $v Juvenile literature. 650 7 $a Cosmology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00880600 650 7 $a General relativity (Physics) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939815 650 7 $a Space and time. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01127622 650 7 $a Wormholes (Physics) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01737513 655 7 $a Juvenile works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411637 830 0 $a Mysteries of space. 941 $a 3 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409032223.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20190615010427.0 952 $l BGPE251 $d 20181116011259.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D45D38B0E19111E89124B82197128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
