Physics of the Impossible

A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel
Summary:

The book explores the scientific plausibility of various phenomena and technologies found in science fiction, such as invisibility, phasers, and time travel. It categorizes these concepts into three levels of impossibility, discussing current physics and potential future advancements that could make them possible.

Key points:

1. Impossibility Levels: Kaku's three classes of impossibilities are Class I (possible in future, doesn't break physics laws), Class II (possible in distant future, at edge of physics understanding), and Class III (violates physics laws, would require new understanding of physics).
