The Science of Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" by Mary Gribbin

The Science of Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" by Mary Gribbin

Drawing on string theory and spacetime, quantum physics and chaos theory, this work answers questions such as: Could parallel worlds like Will's and Lyra's really exist? How does Will's subtle knife cut through anything? Could there be a bomb like the one made with Lyra's hair? What are the Dark Materials?
