Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Kaku is a clear expositor of the difficult world of string theory and quantum mechanics. I still have my doubts about string theory, as Occam's razor is damned here. Einstein is bad enough to understand, but this is truly the world of the bizarre we all will have to come to terms with - computers are first. Terrific book. "

" It's only a matter of time before we achieve some of these technologies. I personally think Kaku is underestimating the time it will take to acheive these advances; assuming Kurzweil is right about AI and the singularity. "

" Accessibly-written, scientifically-sound overview of the future possibility (maybe tens of thousands of years or generations in the future) of certain sci-fi concepts becoming reality. Surprisingly (or maybe not), the author relegates very few concepts to the realm of the "impossible." So while Star Trek may not be just around the corner, it may not be as fantastic as it sometimes seems. "

" Really goodd books explaining physics to non experts. "

" This book is almost a chronological look into the evolution of thinking; rather than acting to. It seems, what, Dr. Kaku states makes sense but its not achievable with a chaotic world. "

" This would have been an enjoyable read if the authors self-importance didn't ooze off of almost every page. "

" This scientific journey will take you through all of your childhood fantasies, some of which are not all that far-fetched. With different technologies having varying levels of possibility, this book will show you what humans can and cannot achieve in the future. "

" I liked the explanation on physical achievements and the way they were grouped. It is great science well explained. "

" Good book, but already felt slightly dated with references to the LHR going to become operative etc. Still very much worth reading though. "

" The man's writing is a little contrived at times, but his extrapolations on future technology and potential for a thriving human type 2 and above civilization is a nice break in the torrent of little would-be apocalypses adorning the book store shelves. "

" This book mesmerizes by explaining the most complex concepts of physics in a simple way. An exhilarating journey of modern physics or say beyond physics. I love the book. "

" I learned a lot from this book, including how much I miss studying science. Michio Kaku is a great writer and can make even quantum physics sound like common sense. "

" Amusing if somewhat lacking in rigor (even for a pop sci book). Maybe fun for science fiction fans, but if you've an interest in the science there's probably nothing you haven't read before. "

" An absolute delight to read!! "

" great book; very thought-provoking as to the possibilities of many science fiction elements "

" Kaku helps the reader understand the feasibility and real possibility of having science fiction technology come to reality. His book is laid out very well and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the real world possibility of science fiction technologies. "

" Informative science with a style that's easy to understand. "

" So far, I really like this book. It is thought provoking and interesting. "

" Really cool book! The most interesting book I've ever read. "

" Exciting to read - but also depressing because no of us will be around to witness these amazing inventions. Or, maybe we will, just in different bodies. Hmmm... "

" A lovely, light summary of the current thinking in physics, all presented in a humourous and approachable manner. No need to fear equations and deep philosophies... the author makes it easy to understand what's possible among the topics we now consider impossible. Worthwhile reading! "

" A very interesting read, but if you have read one of kaku's non-scientific books or seen some documentary, you've seen them all. fun bedtime-read! "

" A must read for any novice. Complex ideas made accessible. A fascinating read. "

" Amazing book. I couldn't stop reading it. Kaku is by far the best futurist around today, in terms of both his breadth of knowledge and his uncanny ability to convey his visions to huge masses of dumb people. "
