In PHYSICS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE, the renowned physicist Michio Kaku explores to what extent the technologies and devices of science fiction that are deemed equally impossible today might well become commonplace in the future. From teleportation to telekinesis, Kaku uses the world of science fiction to explore the fundamentals–and the limits–of the laws of physics as we know them today. In a compelling and thought-provoking narrative, he explains: How the science of optics and electromagnetism may one day enable us to bend light around an object, like a stream flowing around a boulder, making the object invisible to observers “downstream;” How ramjet rockets, laser sails, antimatter engines, and nanorockets may one day take us to the nearby stars; How telepathy and psychokinesis, once considered pseudoscience, may one day be possible using advances in MRI, computers, superconductivity, and nanotechnology; Why a time machine is apparently consistent with the known laws of quantum physics, although it would take an unbelievably advanced civilization to actually build one. Kaku uses his discussion of each technology as a jumping-off point to explain the science behind it. An extraordinary scientific adventure, PHYSICS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE takes listeners on an unforgettable, mesmerizing journey into the world of science that both enlightens and entertains. - - - A fascinating exploration of the science of the impossible—from death rays and force fields to invisibility cloaks—revealing to what extent such technologies might be achievable decades or millennia into the future.

In PHYSICS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE, the renowned physicist Michio Kaku explores to what extent the technologies and devices of science fiction that are deemed equally impossible today might well become commonplace in the future. From teleportation to telekinesis, Kaku uses the world of science fiction to explore the fundamentals—and the limits—of the laws of physics as we know them today. He ranks the impossible technologies by categories—Class I, II, and III, depending on when they might be achieved, within the next century, millennia, or perhaps never. ________________ Temporary/current news: Facebook Deletes Torrent Site Fan Page http://torrentfreak.com/facebook-deletes-torrent-site-fan-page-100513/

I lost all interest in the series when in passing I saw the guy explain that any fraction that is over a 0 is infinity. This guy has a degree from Harvard and made a high school math mistake... There is either something wrong with this guy or he knows that we don't know very much about the subject and will make crap up. I find the latter more likely.

c_programmer (2010-09-16)

If thats his alternate thinking, his math doesnt match reality. Let me explain:
While all fractions approach infinity when their denominator approaches zero, assuming their numerator is constant they approach infinity at different but constant rates. As soon as they reach infinity (which is not a number) they all become equal regardless of the numerator. The laws of Algebra looses effect if this can be done, see the following equations
x=9
y=6;
x/0=inf
y/0=inf
This means that
x=0(inf)
y=0(inf)
Therefore:
x=y
6=9
This is obviously not true, so division by zero can not be justified for any reason.

A quick correction to my last comment. A fraction when approaching infinity does not do so at a constant rate, rather a predictable one. An equation can be made to represent the change in the fraction (the derivative of the equation), I misspoke by saying it was constant.

@c_programmer
By your logic:
x=9 & y=6
x=0(inf)=0
y=0(inf)=0
x=0=9 & y=0=6....no.
-------------------------------------
The correct thought is to consider limits. As the denominator approaches 0 the number approaches inf. Very common calculus problem.
-------------------------------------
Consider x=1/10.
Now consider x=1/0.1.
Now consider x=1/0.0001.
What I'm getting at is that as the denominator gets smaller, x gets larger and larger until it does in fact approach infinity. As far as basic math goes this is accepted but possibly not ultimately correct in the universe... that's a question for the Einsteins to figure out.
