 Wonderful May 14, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Kaku presents the daunting advanced concepts of physics to readers in an enjoyable journey through the possibilities of force fields, ray guns, Star Wars force abilities (through psychokinesis), time travel, and much more. The greatest strength of this book is the presentation of recent breakthroughs such as the seemingly invisible "metamaterials" that disappear under a specific frequency of light, or the series of breakthroughs that can be achieved with the possible discovery of room-temperature superconductors. Kaku is an appealing master storyteller (as seen in his appearances on The Universe series on the History Channel) and Physics of the Impossible is a wonderful book offering much food for thought.

I found this book to be not only an exploration of the fringes of science, but also a discussion of some of the subtleties of quantum theory from the point of view of a "string theorist";quite interesting.
