Years ago, cosmologist Stephon Alexander received life-changing advice: to discover real physics, he needed to stop memorizing and start taking risks. In Fear of a Black Universe, Alexander shows that great physics requires us to think outside the mainstream - to improvise and rely on intuition. His approach leads him to three principles that shape all theories of the universe: the principle of invariance, the quantum principle, and the principle of emergence. Alexander uses them to explore some of physics' greatest mysteries.

This book is the result of my investigations into terraforming. This is the idea that in the future we could make other planets, for example Mars and Venus, habitable. I have tried to stick with the science around this subject, but sometimes where no scientific work has been created I've had to look to science fiction instead. However, at least 90% of this book has firm scientific grounding and I have included a bibliography with references to over 1,800 scientific research papers, books and other resources.
