From Publishers Weekly
In this latest effort to popularize the sciences, City University of
New York professor and media star Kaku (Hyperspace) ponders topics
that many people regard as impossible, ranging from psychokinesis and
telepathy to time travel and teleportation. His Class I
impossibilities include force fields, telepathy and antiuniverses,
which don't violate the known laws of science and may become
realities in the next century. Those in Class II await realization
farther in the future and include faster-than-light travel and
discovery of parallel universes. Kaku discusses only perpetual motion
machines and precognition in Class III, things that aren't possible
according to our current understanding of science. He explains how
what many consider to be flights of fancy are being made tangible by
recent scientific discoveries ranging from rudimentary advances in
teleportation to the creation of small quantities of antimatter and
transmissions faster than the speed of light. Science and science
fiction buffs can easily follow Kaku's explanations as he shows that
in the wonderful worlds of science, impossible things are happening
every day. (Mar. 11) "
