Physics of the Impossible

Summary

«Physics of the Impossible» is a popular science book by Michio Kaku, a renowned theoretical physicist and science communicator. In this book, the author explores the boundaries of what is possible in science, drawing on existing theories and laws of physics. Kaku delves into fascinating topics such as teleportation, antimatter, invisibility, laser swords, force fields, and the possibility of time travel. He categorizes impossible phenomena into three groups: those currently impossible but achievable in the future; those that might become real in the very distant future; and those that violate the laws of physics and will therefore remain impossible. The book emphasizes not only fantastical ideas but also a rigorous scientific foundation, explaining how modern science perceives the limits of possibility.
