In Physics of the Impossible, the renowned physicist Michio Kaku explores to what extent the technologies and devices of science fiction that are deemed equally impossible today might well become commonplace in the future.
One hundred years ago, scientists would have said that lasers, televisions, and the atomic bomb were beyond the realm of physical possibility. a lot of the time he has a 'futurist' hat on though. Kaku uses discussion of speculative technologies to introduce topics of fundamental physics to the reader. He covers topics such as teleportation, time travel, invisibility, and force fields, discussing their potential real-life applications. In 2008, Kaku hosted the three-hour BBC-TV documentary Visions of the Future, on the future of computers, medicine, and quantum physics, and he appeared in several episodes of the History Channels Universe and Ancient Aliens series. Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration Into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel is a book by theoretical physicist Michio Kaku. In the meantime, he thinks there’s a lot to feel. In his book Physics of the Impossible, Michio Kaku examines how far science has come and explores the possibilities of technologies which could exist in the future. A fascinating exploration of the science of the impossiblefrom death rays and force fields to invisibility cloaksrevealing to what extent such technologies might be achievable decades or millennia into the future. Kaku does admit that we might see sentient machines emerging from laboratories but reckons that could take another hundred years or so.
