520    A fascinating exploration of the science of the impossible
       --from death rays and force fields to invisibility cloaks-
       -revealing to what extent such technologies might be 
       achievable decades or millennia into the future. One 
       hundred years ago, scientists would have said that lasers,
       televisions, and the atomic bomb were beyond the realm of 
       physical possibility. 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. From teleportation to 
       telekinesis, Kaku uses the world of science fiction to 
       explore the fundamentals--and the limits--of the laws of 
       physics as we know them today. He ranks the impossible 
       technologies by categories--Class I, II, and III, 
       depending on when they might be achieved, within the next 
       century, millennia, or perhaps never. In a compelling and 
       thought-provoking narrative, he explains: How the science 
       of optics and electromagnetism may one day enable us to 
       bend light around an object, like a stream flowing around 
       a boulder, making the object invisible to observers 
       "downstream"; How ramjet rockets, laser sails, antimatter 
       engines, and nanorockets may one day take us to the nearby
       stars; How telepathy and psychokinesis, once considered 
       pseudoscience, may one day be possible using advances in 
       MRI, computers, superconductivity, and nanotechnology; Why
       a time machine is apparently consistent with the known 
       laws of quantum physics, although it would take an 
       unbelievably advanced civilization to actually build one. 
       Kaku uses his discussion of each technology as a jumping-
       off point to explain the science behind it. An 
       extraordinary scientific adventure, Physics of the 
       impossible takes listeners on an unforgettable, 
       mesmerizing journey into the world of science that both 
       enlightens and entertains.
