Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration Into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel is a book by theoretical physicist Michio Kaku. Kaku uses discussion of speculative technologies to introduce topics of fundamental physics to the reader.
His books Physics of the Impossible (2008), Physics of the Future (2011), The Future of the Mind (2014), and The God Equation: The Quest for a Theory of Everything (2021) became New York Times best sellers. Kaku has hosted several television specials for the BBC, the Discovery Channel, the History Channel, and the Science Channel.
One account stated that Clarke's laws were developed after the editor of his works in French started numbering the author's assertions. [2] All three laws appear in Clarke's essay "Hazards of Prophecy: The Failure of Imagination", first published in Profiles of the Future (1962); [3] however, they were not all published at the same time.
In a fascinating twist of theoretical physics, scientists may have calculated how an elusive particle, the tachyon, could exist without breaking the laws of general relativity.
Gilmore praised the book for its "exotic physics" and felt there were "lots of intellectual challenge" but believed there "was a little too much of a pot-pourri." Gilmore wrote that the biggest weakness of the book is how it covers astrophysical history. [4] The book was a finalist for the Samuel Johnson Prize for non-fiction in the UK. [5]
[7] [8] In 2019 he became the Chancellor’s Distinguished Professor of Physics at UC San Diego, [7] [9] in the Center for Astrophysics & Space Sciences, [10] which is part of the Department of Physics. [11] Keating received an Excellence in Stewardship Award in 2018/19, and is an honorary member of the National Society of Black Physicists. [12]
