Miguel Alcubierre made a special appearance on the TV productions How William Shatner Changed the World [14] and Michio Kaku's Sci Fi Science: Physics of the Impossible, [15] [16] in which his warp bubble theory was discussed.
The Quantum Revolution - Kaku investigates the advances of quantum physics and the effects it could have on the average human life. Kaku looks at the work of science fiction writers and the way that many concepts conceived for entertainment could in fact become reality.
The list includes technologies that were first posited in non-fiction works before their appearance in science fiction and subsequent invention, such as ion thruster. To avoid repetitions, the list excludes film adaptations of prior literature containing the same predictions, such as " The Minority Report ".
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.
