| Book Subtitle | A Scientific Exploration In To The World Of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation And Time Travel |
| Book Description | Teleportation, time machines, force fields, and interstellar space ships the stuff of science fiction or potentially attainable future technologies? Inspired by the fantastic worlds of Star Trek, Star Wars, and Back to the Future, renowned theoretical physicist and bestselling author Michio Kaku takes an informed, serious, and often surprising look at what our current understanding of the universe's physical laws may permit in the near and distant future.Entertaining, informative, and imaginative, Physics of the Impossible probes the very limits of human ingenuity and scientific possibility. |
| Editorial Review | Kaku explores what we still do not quite understand, those grey areas that are surely the most fascinating part of physics. --New Scientist Kaku's latest book aims to explain exactly why some visions of the future may eventually be realized while others are likely to remain beyond the bounds of possibility. . . . Science fiction often explores such questions; science falls silent at this point. Kaku's work helps to fill a void. --The Economist A fascinating exploration of the interface between science and science fiction, extremely well researched, lively, and tremendously entertaining. --Fritjof Capra, author of The Tao of Physics and The Science of Leonardo Mighty few theoretical physicists would bother expounding some of these possible impossibilities, and Kaku is to be congratulated for doing so. . . . He gets the juices of future physicists flowing. --Los Angeles Times |
