It may even tackle complex biological challenges like protein folding, which is crucial for understanding diseases such as Alzheimer’s, ALS, and Parkinson’s. Quantum computers are already being utilized to explore fundamental scientific questions, including the origin of the universe. Dr. Michio Kaku, a lifelong quantum theory expert, narrates the captivating journey into this scientific frontier and the race to secure a better future for humanity.

Podtitul: Jak bude do roku 2100 věda utvářet osud lidstva a náš každodenní život. Autor ve své kníize do značné míry na vazuje na svůj starší titul Fyzika nemožného. V ní zkoumal, kam ještě fyzikální výzkum a jeho aplikace ještě mohou dospět, než narazí na hranice lidských možností či na přírodní zákony. Ve Fyzice budoucnosti podrobněji promýšlí ony uskutečnitelné možnosti v různých oblastech: píše o budoucnosi počítačů, umělé inteligence, nanotechnologie, využívání energetických zdrojů, cestování do vesmíru i o budoucnosti civilizace jako takové.

This is the story of a quest- to find a Theory of Everything. Einstein dedicated his life to seeking this elusive Holy Grail, a single, revolutionary 'god equation' which would tie all the forces in the universe together, yet never found it. Some of the greatest minds in physics took up the search, from Stephen Hawking to Brian Greene. None have yet succeeded. In The God Equation, renowned theoretical physicist Michio Kaku takes the reader on a mind-bending tour through this epic journey- a mystery that has fascinated him for most of his life. He guides us through the key debates in modern physics, from Newton's law of gravity to the latest developments in string theory. It is a tale of dazzling breakthroughs and crushing dead ends, illuminated by Kaku's clarity, storytelling flair and infectious enthusiasm. The object of the quest is now within sight- we are closer than ever to achieving the most ambitious undertaking in the history of science. If successful, the Theory of Everything could both unlock the deepest mysteries of space and time, and fulfil that most ancient and basic of human desires - to understand the meaning of our lives.

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.

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.

Ještě před stoletím si byli vědci jisti, že věci, kterými dnes člověk běžně disponuje, jako třeba laser, televize či atomová bomba, jsou fyzikálně neuskutečnitelné. Kaku ve své knize zkoumá, nakolik už věda pokročila a nakolik jsme se přiblížili realizaci technologií, jež zatím fungují jen v science-fiction. Ukazuje, jak lze optiky a elektromagnetismu využít k simulaci neviditelnosti; jak zdokonalení magnetické rezonance možná pomůže číst lidské myšlenky; jak využití supravodičů, nanotechnologií a elektrického pole třeba člověku umožní vyslat za hranice zemské atmosféry ne raketu, ale výtah, jak o tom psal A. C. Clarke.

Based on interviews with over 300 of the world's top scientists, who are already inventing the future in their labs, Kaku presents the revolutionary developments in medicine, computers, quantum physics and space travel that will forever change our way of life and alter the course of civilization itself.

Based on interviews with over three hundred of the world?s top scientists, who are already inventing the future in their labs, Kaku?in a lucid and engaging fashion?presents the revolutionary developments in medi?cine, computers, quantum physics, and space travel that will forever change our way of life and alter the course of civilization itself. His astonishing revelations include: The Internet will be in your contact lens. It will recog?nize people?s faces, display their biographies, and even translate their words into subtitles. You will control computers and appliances via tiny sen?sors that pick up your brain scans. You will be able to rearrange the shape of objects. Sensors in your clothing, bathroom, and appliances will monitor your vitals, and nanobots will scan your DNA and cells for signs of danger, allowing life expectancy to increase dramatically.

You may be able to take an elevator hundreds of miles into space by simply pushing the ?up? button. Like Physics of the Impossible and Visions before it, Physics of the Future is an exhilarating, wondrous ride through the next one hundred years of breathtaking scientific revolution.

Hledání teorie vesmíru. Příběh fyziky je komplikovaný a dobrodružný. Po staletí se fyzikové noří stále hloub do tajemství přírody, vyvíjejí nové přístroje, které pomáhají některá tajemství rozluštit a jindy zas vedou k objevení nových záhad. Ve dvacátém století se tento příběh nesmírně zrychlil. Vědci pronikli do hlubin vesmíru i k subatomárním stavebním prvkům hmoty. Definovali, jaké síly vládnou mikrokosmu i makrokosmu, a ukázali, jak se jedna odvozuje z druhé. Pak ale narazili na záhadu, která až dosud všem pokusům o objasnění vzdoruje: jak sjednotit gravitační sílu s jadernými interakcemi a elektromagnetismem? Fyzikové už dlouho rozpracovávají tzv. teorii strun, která by snad mohla být cestou k definitivnímu sjednocení. Vznik, vývoj, půvab i úskalí této teorie srozumitelně vysvětluje Michio Kaku, známý fyzik a popularizátor vědy, ve spolupráci s novinářkou Jennifer Thompsonovou.

'Physics of the Impossible' takes us on a journey to the frontiers of science and beyond, giving us an insight into what we can really hope to achieve in the future.

Eine kosmologische Reise vom Big Bang in die 11. Dimension Der heißeste Kandidat auf der Suche nach der alles erklärenden «Weltformel» der Physik ist seit einigen Jahren die «M-Theorie», eine Weiterentwicklung der Stringtheorien. Sie beschreibt unser Universum als eine Blase, die in einem sich ausbreitenden elfdimensionalen Multiversum treibt. Was bedeutet das für unser Verständnis und unser Bild von der Welt? Michio Kaku, renommierter Quantenphysiker und Bestsellerautor («Im Hyperraum», «Die Physik des Unmöglichen»), nimmt uns mit auf eine faszinierende Reise vom Urknall bis zum möglichen Ende der Welt.

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.

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.

Are there other dimensions beyond those of our everyday experience? Are there gateways to parallel universes? What happened before the first day of Creation? These types of questions are at the center of current scientific activity. Indeed, many physicists today believe that there are other dimensions beyond the four of our space-time, and that a unified vision of the various forces of nature can be achieved, if we consider that everything we see around us, from the trees to the stars are nothing but vibrations in hyperspace. Hyperspace theory - and its more recent derivation, superstring theory - is the eye of this revolution. In this book, Michio Kaku shows us a fascinating panorama, which completely changes our view of the cosmos, and takes us on a dazzling journey through new dimensions: wormholes connecting parallel universes, time machines, "baby universes" and more. Similar wonders are emerging in some pages in which everything is explained with elegant simplicity and where the mathematical formulation is replaced by imaginative illustrations that allow the problems to be visualized. The result is a very entertaining and surprising book, which even leaves behind the greatest fantasies of the old science fiction authors.

A fascinating, readable account of the new theory of physics that the four fundamental forces governing the universe are actually different manifestations of a single unifying force, a daring theory thought to be the missing link in Einstein's unsolved unified field theory.
