Michio Kaku Books

An insightful new book putting Einstein's work in a contemporary context Few figures loom as large as Albert Einstein in our contemporary culture. It is truly remarkable that a man from such humble beginnings, an unemployed dreamer without a future or a job, who was written off by his professors as a hopeless loser, could to dare to scale the heights he reached. In this enlightening book Michio Kaku reasseses Einstein's work by centering on his three great theories - special relativity, general relativity and the Unified Field Theory. The first yielded the equation E =mc2 which is now such a fixture in our culture that it is practically a ubiquitous slogan. But the subsequent theories led to the Big Bang theory and have changed irrevocably the way we perceive time and space. Michio Kaku gives a new, refreshing look at the pioneering work of Einstein, giving a more accurate portrayal of his enduring legacy than previous biographies. As today's advanced physicists continue their intense search to fulfill Einstein's most cherished dream, a 'theory of everything', he is recognised as a prophet who set the agenda for modern physics.

Exploring the fate of the universe, this book delves into astrophysical theories regarding cosmic evolution and potential end scenarios. It examines the implications of a dying universe on existence and humanity's place within it. Through a blend of scientific inquiry and philosophical reflection, the author invites readers to contemplate the mysteries of space, time, and the ultimate destiny of all things. Engaging and thought-provoking, it challenges perceptions of life and the cosmos.

Exploring the urgent need for humanity to migrate beyond Earth, this book delves into the scientific advancements that could make interstellar colonization a reality. Renowned physicist Michio Kaku discusses how emerging technologies like robotics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology could enable the terraforming of Mars and the construction of habitable cities. He also envisions travel to nearby stars using nanoships and speculates on the potential for immortality through radical new forms of existence. Kaku's engaging narrative invites readers to imagine a future where humanity thrives among the stars.

The Future of the Mind brings us a stunning new vision of our future in space. Human civilization is on the verge of living beyond Earth. But how will it happen? World-renowned physicist Michio Kaku takes us on a journey to the future, introducing the mind-boggling developments in robotics, nanotechnology and biotechnology that will one day enable us to make our homes among the stars.

Summons up the sheer wonder of science [on Physics of the Future] Daily Telegraph

From the renowned theoretical physicist and national bestselling author of The God Equation comes the first book-length exploration of the most exciting development in modern physics: the theory of 10-dimensional space. "Among the best of its genre to appear in recent years...What a wonderful adventure it is, trying to think the unthinkable!" —The New York Times Book Review The theory of hyperspace, which Michio Kaku pioneered, may be the leading candidate for the Theory of Everything that Einstein spent the remaining years of his life searching for.

Recording memories, mind reading, videotaping our dreams, mind control, avatars, and telekinesis - no longer are these feats of the mind solely the province of overheated science fiction. The author takes us on a tour of the top laboratories around the world to meet the scientists who are already revolutionising the way we think about the brain.

Is the universe we currently inhabit the only one? or are there an infinite number of others, each a different region of an endless 'multivers'?. And is our human future bound up with this quest for new worlds?

Physics of the Impossible takes us on a journey to the frontiers of science and beyond, giving us an exhilarating insight into what we can really hope to achieve in the future. Everyday we see that what was once declared 'impossible' by scientists has become part of our everyday lives: fax machines, glass sky-scrapers, gas-powered automobiles, a worldwide communications network and high-speed elevated trains. Here internationally bestselling author Micho Kaku confidently hurdles today's frontier of science, presenting the first truly authoritative exploration of the real science of tomorrow; a field normally left to writers of science fiction.He reveals the actual possibilities of perpetual motion, force fields, invisibility, ray guns, anti-gravity and anti-matter, teleportation, telepathy, psychokinesis, robots and cyborgs, faster than light travel, time travel, zero-point energy, extraterrestrial life, even clairvoyance. And he shows how few of these ideas actually violate the laws of physics. The real differences between the impossible, the unlikely and the imminent have never been so clear. Where does the realm of science fiction end? What can we really hope to achieve?' Anything that is not impossible, is mandatory!' declares Kaku in this lucid, entertaining and enlightening read.

Physicist Michio Kaku looks to the future and guides the reader through the science of the next century in this volume. His vision is based on the pioneering efforts by theoreticians and the most current laboratory research.
