PHYSICS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE: A SCIENTIFIC

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.

Teleportarea, masinile timpului, campurile de forta si navele spatiale interstelare - chestii de science fiction sau tehnologii viitoare potential realizabile? Inspirat de lumile fantastice din Star Trek, Star Wars si Back to the Future, renumitul fizician teoretic si cel mai bine vandut autor Michio Kaku arunca o privire informata, serioasa si adesea surprinzatoare asupra a ceea ce poate permite intelegerea noastra actuala a legilor fizice ale universului in viitor apropiat si indepartat. Fizica imposibilului, captivanta, informativa si imaginativa, cerceteaza limitele ingeniozitatii umane si ale posibilitatii stiintifice.
