Book Reviews of Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel

Book Review: Impossible to put down !
Summary: 5 Stars

Amazing, best book I've read on 'the very near future in technology & medicine' ...save maybe Ray Kurzweil.

Should be high school & college curriculum immediately ... & maybe the USA would begin pulling it's own weight & doing it's part internationally/globally. = )

Pix of Lawrence M. Krauss, Bill Shatner & G. Lucas woulda been cool too ; )

Summary of Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel

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.
