Force fields, Psychokinesis, faster than light travel, precognition...the stuff of science fiction, or is there scientific basis for them?
A magnificent journey through a world where the line between science fiction and science is blurred.
Written by reknown physicist Michio Kaku, Physics of the Impossible explores the science behind things we once thought only belonged to the realm of science fiction novels, based more on imagination than fact.
An interesting read overall. The class one impossibilities(those that we may achieve in the next century or so) were very mind stimulating. Well...they are the most closely earth bound. The science is relatively fundamental and involves the least amount of theoretical physics which itself is more science fiction as it is real life science (no offence to theoretical physicists. I'm actually fascinated by this branch of science myself - I have quite some imaginative capabilities too). It includes Force fields, invisibility cloaking devices, death stars(!?), teleportation, telepathy, psychokinesis, robots, ETs and UFOs(!?), starships, and anti matter and anti-universes.
Cool huh. The anticipation of actually seeing those things. It would be better if I could actually be involved in bringing them about. As long as death stars don't fall into the hand of zionist terrorists or their american lap dog. That would spell the end of the world.
The class two and threes are a bit further in the realm of the impossible, including impossible to comprehend. The two most commonly repeated words in these chapters are 'presume' and 'speculate'.
It shows how little we actually know of...everything, and more importantly - how small we are in comparison to the creation of the universe, its running and its sustenance.
All Praise to Allah, Lord, Creator and Sustainer of the Earth and the Heavens, and all within and beyond.
