Physics of the Impossible

This new release by Michio Kaku has me thinking about subjects in his book that I have not known of before. It opens up a new world of subjects, many I knew about, many I didn't. Thought provoking.

The distillation of all TV science programs.

Being a big fan of the Discovery, Science, and Nat Geo channels I find myself frequently overwhelmed with current theories and discoveries. 'They said this, yet he said that'. Dr. Kaku brushes back our errant hairs of confusion and clearly does a "Cliffs Notes" of almost everything around us. The universe and the multi-verse make sense, and allows us to stretch out and knead our brain cells like those weird grey rubber erasers you used in art class. The results were unexpected yet transient. You saw it for a moment moving into something else. Dr. Kaku seizes on these moments and glides us effortlessly into a whole new set of dimensions that further support the ideas of a great number of intellectuals that risked everything to lead the way in the multi-verse that we live in.

Plan to read it.

Do you think that Ants have a perceptual realization of the same Universe that we humans have come to understand?

Parrallel Universes. Indeed!

I plan to read this book.

Five stars for shear hope.

If only Jules Verne could read this book.

Michio Kaku's Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, force Fields, Teleportation, and time Travel is just the right book at the right time. In fact, Michio Kaku's sytle reminds me just a bit like Carl Sagan in that he tries to make scientifically difficult topic easy to understand. Kaku's mission here is to spread knowledge and that he does very well.

There are other books similar to Physics of the Impossible. Some have been mentioned by other reviewers. I'd like to mention The Science of Star Wars by Jeanne Cavelus and The Physics of Star Trek by Lawrence M. Krauss and Stephen Hawking. Like Physics of the Impossible, both of these works attempt to apply hard scientific facts-of-life to popular ideas in modern fiction. What Kaku does is to organize his ideas into classes of impossibility and here lies an important element of this book.

Michio Kaku is a born communicator which is why he is so often seen on television and why his books are so popular. He is at his best, in my opinion, in Physics of the Impossible. Well written by an author that knows his material and wants to communicate his ideas, the book is sure to please and inform and stimulate the imagination.

I highly recommend Physics of the Impossible.
Peace to all.

A fun, mind-bending journey!

This is probably Dr. Kaku's best popular work since Hyperspace or Visions. Here is a wide range of scientific possibilities to be explored. Dr. Kaku's gift is to make modern physics comprehensible to those of us without a mathematical background. In this book he uses his gift to explain how the standard model and string field theory (which he is coauthor of) can be applied to contemplation of some of our most wildest scifi dreams. The chapters are short and easily read in short sittings, which lends well to a book that stretches the imagination so dramaticaly. Dr. Kaku is also careful to remain objective in discussing different theoretical approaches which is an admirable feat given some of the topics ventured into in this book. If you enjoy cutting edge science, it doesn't get more cutting edge then this. Thank you Dr. Kaku for yet another wonderful journey.
