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

Book Review: Will Definitely Buy Kaku's Other Works
Summary: 5 Stars

Physics of the Impossible is my first Michio Kaku book, and even though I haven't quite finished it yet, I can certainly tell you that I will be buying another, and probably one after that. Kaku's writings are styled in a way that appeals to a general audience interested on the general topic of scientific fantasy and reality. I try to read half a chapter to a chapter every day, and every day my mind is blown by what is in this book. Part of me wants to be done with this book so that I can read Kaku's other books, while the other part wants this book to never end. Looking forward to his other works!

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.
