Michio Kaku reads from Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100.

World-renowned physicist and best-selling author Michio Kaku will discuss his new book Physics of the Future: How Science will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100, on Thursday, April 7 at 7:00 p.m. at the University of Minnesota Bookstore in Coffman Memorial Union, 300 Washington Ave. S.E. Minneapolis. Kaku, the New York Times best-selling author of Physics of the Impossible, presents an astonishing forecast of where science is taking us over the next century. Some of the more fascinating predictions include: driverless cars that float above the ground, x-ray vision, robot surgeons, and an elevator to space. Kaku is the Henry Semat Professor of Theoretical Physics at the CUNY Graduate Center and co-founder of string field theory. He is the author of several widely acclaimed science books including Physics of the Impossible, Parallel Worlds, Visions, Beyond Einstein and Hyperspace. Kaku will sign copies of his book following the discussion. This event is free and open to the public. Reserved seating and priority signing placement is available for the first 100 customers who purchase Physics of the Future from the University of Minnesota Bookstore or their web site.

Michio Kaku discusses Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel.

World renowned physicist and best-selling author Michio Kaku will discuss his book, “Physics of the Impossible” on Wednesday, April 15 at 7:00 p.m. at the University of Minnesota Bookstore in Coffman Memorial Union, 300 Washington Ave. S.E. Minneapolis. From the front line of some of the most exciting developments in physics research, Kaku explores the fundamentals—and limits—of the laws of physics as we know them today. He examines the impossible technologies abandoned by scientists and relegated to science fiction. “Physics of the Impossible” is a fascinating and wildly entertaining exploration of force fields, time travel, precognition, parallel universes and much more from one of contemporary physics’ most brilliant minds. Kaku is a professor of Theoretical Physics at the City University of New York. He is the author of “Visions”, “Beyond Einstein”, “Hyperspace” and “Parallel Worlds”. He is the cofounder of string field theory and hosts a nationally syndicated radio science program and the largest science web site on the Internet at www.mkaku.org. Kaku will sign copies of his book following the discussion. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, or to order a signed copy visit www.bookstore.umn.edu/genref/authors.html.

Michio Kaku , Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel.

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 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
(free with book purchase) will be called alphabetically to fill seats and will also be used to form the booksigning line.
Seating opens to the general public fifteen minutes before the event, so please arrive early, as space is limited. (booksense)… (more)
