Michio Kaku: Physics of the Impossible 3pm A hundred years ago, scientists would have said that lasers, televisions, and the atomic bomb were beyond the realm of possibility. In Physics of the Impossible, renowned physicist Michio Kaku explores to what extent technologies and devices deemed equally impossible ... (more)today might become commonplace in the future. From teleportation, levitation and invisibility to the routine use of force fields, Kaku uses the world of science fiction to explore the fundamentals—and the limits—of the laws of physics. Kaku appears regularly on the Discovery Channel, the BBC, ABC, CNN and elsewhere. He also writes for Discover and Wired, and has been featured in numerous television documentaries, including Me and Isaac Newton, Time, and the History Channel hit series The Universe. A New York Times bestselling author and co-founder of string field theory, he continues Einstein's search to unite the four fundamental forces of nature into one unified theory. SEATING begins one hour before the event. Lettered tickets
