''The Gods Themselves'' is a 1972 science fiction novel written by Isaac Asimov. It won the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1972,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 1972 Award Winners & Nominees )〕 and the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1973.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 1973 Award Winners & Nominees )〕 The book is divided into three main parts, originally published in ''Galaxy Magazine'' and ''Worlds of If''〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Bibliography: The Gods Themselves )〕 as three consecutive stories. The book opens at chapter 6, segments of which appear between chapters as the narrative proceeds through chapters 1 to 5. In effect, chapters 1 to 5 are flashbacks in the narrative of chapter 6, giving the history leading up to the present time of chapter 6. Chapter 6 then concludes, and the story proceeds with chapter 7. ==Plot summary== The main plot-line is a project by aliens who inhabit a parallel universe (the para-Universe) with different physical laws from this one. By exchanging matter with Earth, they seek to exploit these differences in physical laws. The exchange of matter provides an alternative source of energy in their dying Universe. However, the exchange of physical laws will have the ultimate result of turning the Earth's Sun into a supernova, and possibly even turning a large part of the Milky Way into a quasar which, in turn, provides more energy for the para-Universe.
