О книге: Physics of the Impossible (Michio Kaku); Ballantine Books, 2009

From cyborgs, starships, UFOs, aliens and antimatter to telepathy, invisibility, psychokinesis and precognition, Michio Kakus Physics of the Impossible is an exciting look at how science fiction could soon become science fact.

Albert Einstein said, If at first an idea does not sound absurd, there is no hope for it. Physics of the Impossible shows how our most far-fetched ideas today - from Star Treks phasers and teleportation to time travel as envisioned by Back to the Future - are destined to become tomorrows reality.

Michio Kaku, bestselling science author and one of the worlds most acclaimed physicists, looks at the technologies of the future and explains whats just around the corner, what we might have to wait a few millennia to get our hands on and how surprisingly little of it is truly impossible.
