The book, Physics of the Impossible, is a fun read, bringing lots of fun things into the realms of possibility.
The author divides the ideas into three classes, maybe we could realize these within a century for the first group, the second violates no laws of physics, but are less plausible, and the third group, violate the laws of physics, so seem within the realm of impossibility.
The thought that some of the dreams of science fiction and futuristic technology may not, cannot come true, is hard to swallow, because, if we are beings of light, and creators of our own environment, maybe we can make it what we want it to be . The laws of science have been established and then shown to be different in the past, could this happen again, with new ideas, new breakthroughs? Why not?
I am thrilled as a lay reader that Micho Kaku, provides me with an opportunity to know the difference between possible and impossible, as we understand physics today. I wonder, as people change places on earth, as history comes to be made and goes to be studied, as the past recedes and the future becomes, does the impossible also become possible?
