Physics of the Impossible

Title: Physics of the Impossible

Author: Michio Kaku

Pages: 7 discs?

Genre: Non-fiction, Science

Grade: B

Synopsis: Over the last 100 years, there have been many technological advancements that physicists prior would have deemed utterly impossible.  The author, Michio Kaku, explores many science fiction ideas and categorizes them in three categories: possible in the next 100 years, next 1,000 years, or that our understanding of the physical and atomic world would need to change in order for an idea to be possible.  He examines ideas ranging from invisibility and telekinesis to teleportation, space travel and time travel.

My Review:  While the book was interesting, I've never been that enthralled by some of the science fiction ideas that were being explored, so the book didn't grab me like it may others.  There were parts that were more interesting than others, and I think the content is pretty solid (Kaku is a Theoretical physicist with degrees from Harvard and Cal, and now teaching at the City College of New York).  That said, there is a lot of interesting advancements that may take place over the next 100+ years.
