Michio Kaku
What’s inside
In ‘Physics of the Impossible,’ theoretical physicist Michio Kaku explores the boundaries of science to examine technologies that are not possible today but might be realized in the future. He investigates the laws of physics as they apply to things like teleportation, force fields, and time travel – subjects often relegated to science fiction. Kaku categorizes these concepts into three classes of impossibilities based on when, if ever, they might be achieved and explains complex scientific principles in an accessible way.
