Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku

Sorry I haven't written a review. I've been busy over the holidays. I'm sick right now, so this review won't be that long but it's been a while since I've posted. I have many new books - both fiction and non-fiction - to read and review over the course of 2011. There will be books about science, god, philosophy, and even a few fictional books i'll review.

Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku is best summarized in one word: cool! If you are a fan of science fiction, as I am, you will enjoy this book. Kaku divides various things seen in science fiction movies into three categories. Class 1 things are things which are not really impossible, but unlikely due to technological limitations, but may be possible one day. Class 2 Impossibilities are those which are hypothetically possible, but extremely unlikely because it would take thousands of years of technological development. Class 3 impossibilities are things which are thought to be impossible because they violate the laws of physics. Kaku is an accomplished physicist, and has a very in depth knowledge of these things. He also explains things simply and clearly. If you are a fan of science fiction with an interest in the science behind things like time travel, the Death Star, the Starship Enterprise, and robots you will very much enjoy this book. I have no complaints, so it gets a 10/10.
