Part four covers the topics of cosmological time, the beginning of time and the events that occurred at the instant of the big bang. Gravity acts as the exact opposite of a force field, but has many similar properties. ", Kaku, M., P. K. Townsend, and P. Van Nieuwenhuizen. Each chapter is named by a possible, or improbable, technology of the future. Kaku writes: "Physicists today understand the basic laws [of physics] extending over a staggering forty three orders of magnitude, from the interior of the proton out to the expanding universe. [16], Over January 22 to 25, 2011, Kaku was invited to the fifth annual Global Competitiveness Forum (GCF), held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, next to renowned specialists including the British journalist Nick Pope, the Canadian ufologist Stanton Friedman, and the French astrophysicist Jacques Vallée.[17]. Parallel Worlds was a finalist for the Samuel Johnson Prize for nonfiction in the UK.[12]. professor of theoretical physics in the City College of New York and CUNY Graduate Center Das verfolgte er auch in seiner populären Wissenschafts-Radiosendung Explorations bei WBAI-FM in New York.
Hauptsächlich bekannt ist er durch seine populärwissenschaftlichen Beiträge zu theoretisch-physikalischen Themen. [4], Such advances were considered impossible because the basic laws of physics and science were not understood as well as they would subsequently be. [19], His remark from an interview in support of SETI, "We could be in the middle of an intergalactic conversation... and we wouldn't even know", is used in the third Symphony of Science installment "Our Place in the Cosmos". [5][6] Kaku concludes his book with a short epilogue detailing the newest frontiers in physics and how there is still much more to be learned about physics and our universe. 1968 machte er dort seinen Bachelor-Abschluss summa cum laude. In order to do that, a person would have to be dissolved atom by atom then rematerialized at the other end. He has written the New York Times best sellers Physics of the Impossible (2008), Physics of the Future (2011), and The Future of the Mind (2014). [9] In 1974, Kaku and Prof. Keiji Kikkawa of Osaka University co-authored the first papers describing string theory in a field form.[10]. This is a Class I Impossibility. On January 28, 2007, Kaku hosted the Discovery Channel series 2057. In 2018, Kaku hosted the web series Next World with Michio Kaku on CuriosityStream. The whole planet keeps us standing on the ground and we cannot counter the force by jumping. [2] His father and mother were both born in California; his father was born in Palo Alto, and his mother in Marysville. Seit 1980 ist er Fellow der American Physical Society. Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration Into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel is a book by theoretical physicist Michio Kaku. Er hat zahlreiche populärwissenschaftliche Bücher veröffentlicht, von denen einige auch in deutscher Sprache erschienen sind. deutsch von Monika Niehaus und Bernd Schuh: Diese Seite wurde zuletzt am 20. [3][10], Bryan Appleyard considers this book to be a demonstration of renewed confidence in the possibilities of physics. Kaku appears on the DVD and Blu-ray extras of the 2012 version of Total Recall, discussing the technological aspects of the future explored in the film. [14], In 1999, Kaku was one of the scientists profiled in the feature-length film Me & Isaac Newton, directed by Michael Apted. He has written books and appeared on many television programs as well as film. Dr. Michio is the co-founder of string field theory (a branch of string theory), and continues Einstein’s search to unite the four fundamental forces of nature into one unified theory. In 2008, Kaku hosted the three-hour BBC-TV documentary Visions of the Future, on the future of computers, medicine, and quantum physics, and he appeared in several episodes of the History Channel's Universe series. [citation needed], In 2005, Kaku appeared in the short documentary film Obsessed & Scientific about the possibility of time travel and the people who dream about it. On December 1, 2009, he began hosting a 12-episode weekly TV series for the Science Channel at 10 pm, called Sci Fi Science: Physics of the Impossible, based on his bestselling book. [1] Er studierte Physik an der Harvard-Universität (mit einem Stipendium, das ihm Edward Teller verschaffte, der ihn auf einer Wissenschaftsveranstaltung für Schüler traf). However, this was only at the microscopic level. Featured guests include Nobel laureates and top researchers in the fields of string theory, time travel, black holes, gene therapy, aging, space travel, artificial intelligence and SETI. Kaku is the author of various popular science books: Hyperspace was a bestseller and voted one of the best science books of the year by The New York Times[11] and The Washington Post. Global Competitiveness Forum 2011. The two major physical hurdles are energy and stability. Force fields are vital for surviving any battle in the fictional world, but what exactly are force fields? Michio Kaku (Japanese: ミチオ カク or 賀来 道雄, /ˈmiːtʃioʊ ˈkɑːkuː/; born January 24, 1947) is an American theoretical physicist, futurist, and popularizer of science (science communicator). [2], Die Physik der Zukunft. The topic of invisibility becomes a discussion on why the speed of light is slower in water than in vacuum, that electromagnetism is similar to ripples in a pond, and Kaku discusses newly developed composite materials. It played theatrically in the United States, was later broadcast on national TV, and won several film awards.
Kaku wuchs als Sohn japanischer Einwanderer in Palo Alto auf. [11], Class III Impossibilities are “technologies that violate the known laws of physics." The second in the series deals with cheating time, exploring possibilities of extending the lifespan of organisms. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He has written two New York Times Best Sellers, Physics of the Impossible (2008) and Physics of the Future (2011). [9], Class II Impossibilities are “technologies that sit at the very edge of our understanding of the physical world," possibly taking thousands or millions of years to become available. This would make it a Class II impossibility. Danach ging er an das Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory der University of California, Berkeley, wo er 1972 promovierte. [18] He was critical of the Cassini–Huygens space probe because of the 72 pounds (33 kg) of plutonium contained in the craft for use by its radioisotope thermoelectric generator. [1] The object is like a boulder in a stream. Er war Gastwissenschaftler am Institute for Advanced Study und an der New York University. [citation needed]. He is a professor of theoretical physics in the City College of New York and CUNY Graduate Center. Kaku considers climate change and terrorism as serious threats in man's evolution from a Type 0 civilization to Type 1 on the Kardashev scale. He completed his basic training at Fort Benning, Georgia, and advanced infantry training at Fort Lewis, Washington. When Kaku is busy filming for television, Science Fantastic goes on hiatus, sometimes for several months. However, this would not be developed for a time scale of centuries or even millennia from now. [7], A future technology that may be seen within a lifetime is a new advanced stealth technology. But this is nothing like beaming Captain Kirk down to a planet and back.
He writes, that in this regard, this book helps to “sustain our sense of an increasing acceleration into a future that must be radically different from the present.”[12], According to Appleyard this radically different and better future "... is what lies at the core of this type of book. Kaku is most widely known as a popularizer of science[11] and physics outreach specialist. [9] According to Dr. Kaku in an interview, “the serious study of the impossible has frequently opened up rich and unexpected domains of science”. At the National Science Fair in Albuquerque, New Mexico, he attracted the attention of physicist Edward Teller, who took Kaku as a protégé, awarding him the Hertz Engineering Scholarship. PHYSICS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE is a speculative work on the possibility (or not) of realizing what the current state of the Science of Physics considers impossible. Danach war er am City College of New York, wo er heute Professor ist (Henry Semat Professor). [5], Shields up! "Gauge theory of the conformal and superconformal group.". In January 2007, Kaku visited Oman. Kaku is also a frequent guest on many programs, where he is outspoken in all areas and issues he considers of importance, such as the program Coast to Coast AM where, on November 30, 2007, he reaffirmed his belief that the existence of extraterrestrial life is a certainty. [5], As part of the research program in 1975 and 1977 at the department of physics at The City College of The City University of New York, Kaku worked on research on quantum mechanics. Chapters become somewhat more general towards the end of the book. Part one of the series concerns personal time, and how we perceive and measure the passing of time. Unser Leben in 100 Jahren, https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michio_Kaku&oldid=197923318, Hochschullehrer (City College of New York), „Creative Commons Attribution/Share Alike“. In an interview with local media, Kaku elaborated on his vision of mankind's future. Gleichzeitig ist er Professor am Graduate Center der City University of New York. In April 2006, Kaku began broadcasting Science Fantastic on 90 commercial radio stations in the United States. [23], In 2001, the British rock band Muse released their Origin of Symmetry album. If you want to know what the implications would be of room-temperature superconductors, or all about tachyons, particles that travel faster than the speed of light and pass through all points of the universe simultaneously, then this is the place to find out. This made the object appear invisible in the red and blue green light range.
