- inactive, on 07/07/2008, -2/+46I'm proud to say that in 1994 I read Hyperspace by Michio Kaku and I searched for him on AOL and found him very easily and wrote him an e-mail, and he wrote me back.
Yay, so I am old, whatever. - Sornos, on 07/07/2008, -3/+44Dugg for Michio Kaku.

- Swarms, on 07/06/2008, -2/+27Yeah, well they're still about 8 1/2 years late on my flying car delivery.
- inactive, on 07/07/2008, -7/+24Michio Kaku is my Jesus.
- JDoms, on 07/06/2008, -2/+19I wonder how impossible it is to develop an improbability drive.
- cynicalcheeto, on 07/07/2008, -0/+15As a hopeless dork, I approve this message.
- inactive, on 07/07/2008, -0/+14That would be a Class 3 impossibilities....
- twiztidsinz, on 07/07/2008, -0/+13Yeah well.. I sent him a drawing of him flying around like Superman. He wrote me back to say he hung it on his fridge.
- gn0stik, on 07/07/2008, -0/+12He's a theoretical physicist who built an atom smasher for his 6th grade science fair. He's probably pretty optimistic about the future of technology. We need more guys like Kaku and less guys like your boxed in prof.
- Danls92, on 07/06/2008, -1/+13Infinitely
- inactive, on 07/07/2008, -2/+14Michio Kaku rocks.
- cquinnd, on 07/07/2008, -0/+11Actually, it is only virtually impossible, which gives it a finite (but very high) improbability.
- chaosblade77, on 07/07/2008, -2/+13Is that a new one, or have I just been reading the wrong articles?
- kd7tck, on 07/07/2008, -0/+10dude don't diss the batman. That movie will knock every other batman movie on it's ass.
- Tyrghast, on 07/07/2008, -3/+131994... *gasp* Do you remember dial-up?!?!? And floppy drives?!?!
- cynicalcheeto, on 07/07/2008, -0/+10What is science but one man's thoughts, experiments, and observations on top of another man's notes and papers and theories? Do you think any advancement would be accomplished if we didn't work on the foundations laid by those who came before us? You clearly have a lot to learn, and I suggest you start with history.
Additionally, you missed the point completely. Congrats! That's what you get for just reading the tagline. - Shadic, on 07/07/2008, -0/+8It's not impossible, just improbable.
- notoneofus, on 07/07/2008, -0/+8George Lucas facilitated effects-heavy filmmaking and arguably paved the way for science fiction becoming mainstream. But he didn't invent anything in either a science fiction or theoretical physics sense.
- SugarCoatedSalt, on 07/07/2008, -2/+10michio kaku is the man, he knows his *****.
- fmtoffolo, on 07/07/2008, -1/+942
- vinceislegend, on 07/07/2008, -1/+9Michio Kaku sounds like the name of a pretty sweet Pokemon.
- chaosblade77, on 07/07/2008, -0/+7You're not a theoretical physicist though.
- Kirly, on 07/06/2008, -1/+8great. i've been waiting 40 years for a teleporter. when you're done with that, build me a personal shield. that's right, one which will be impervious to everything from fists to bullets to bombs.
- Rally603, on 07/07/2008, -0/+7You're obviously not nerdy enough to know the intricacies of time travel.
Coming from someone who is: you're wrong. - migatikon, on 07/07/2008, -0/+7Kaku is the co-author of String Theory. He is a prominent physicist and a professor at NYU. I think you may be underestimating his work along with the book upon which this piece is based. Maybe you fear science? Maybe you feel like you're helpless under the jack-boot of progress? My suggestion: educate yourself. Start with Sagan, he's wonderful at explaining science in terms the public can appreciate. Next, try at a good institute of higher education, maybe even a JC. They're better than you might think. See where it leads. Who knows, you might learn something about the contribution of great men and thinkers like Kaku. After all, the life you know--every last facet of your existence--is in some way touched by the reason of the scientific method.
One last thing: we already have spaceships. FYI. - mcnab32, on 07/07/2008, -0/+7You think we have an obesity epidemic now, can you imagine when I can teleport my ass toi mcgrits, pick up a burger and fries, then teleport my ass back to the couch? Hellll yah!
- inactive, on 07/07/2008, -0/+7pics or it wont happen.
- kd7tck, on 07/07/2008, -1/+7If anyone listens to coast to coast am, Kaku is a regular guest and is on at least annually.
http://www.coasttocoastam.com/guests/3.html - Azerael, on 07/07/2008, -0/+6Someone would have to get to the receiving end first to build the receiver, right?
- Ploosheeta, on 07/07/2008, -1/+7Hello from the past!
- notoneofus, on 07/07/2008, -0/+6You really have no idea what or whom you're talking about, do you?
- notoneofus, on 07/07/2008, -0/+5Er, Newton, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrodinger, Fermi, Oppenheimer, Feynman, Dyson, Hawking...a few examples of theoretical physicists. I'm pretty sure they didn't "mean absolutely nothing."
- notoneofus, on 07/07/2008, -1/+6@vpshockwave: It certainly helps if you've read the book being referenced.
- 2Bnor2B, on 07/07/2008, -0/+5Once you figure it out you will also need a fresh cup of really hot tea.
- M724, on 07/07/2008, -0/+5I'm putting Michio Kaku's book in my "to-get" list. All that's left is to figure out the impossibility level of that happening.
- serpentor, on 07/07/2008, -1/+6Physics of the Impossible - audiobook torrent
http://btjunkie.org/torrent/Michio-Kaku-Physics-of ... - oneoverzero, on 07/07/2008, -3/+8You're forgetting the crucial "In base 13."
- treyevans, on 07/07/2008, -1/+5I love reading these articles, but they are always more or less the same thing. LHC, hurry and get here please.
- falstaff, on 07/07/2008, -0/+4Speaking of impossible...did I just see a Digger admit to using AOL? The only thing that would blow my mind more is a bunch of pro-RIAA articles reaching the front page.
- DiddyWolf, on 07/07/2008, -0/+4Dugg for the TARDIS on the cover of his book.
...And Michio Kaku is really awesome too. - 180andback, on 07/07/2008, -0/+4Go be a douchebag somewhere else.
- withoutamartyr, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3Brian Cox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Cox_%28physicis ... is Brian Cox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Cox).
- Jesse, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3May or may not have been? He was not a scientist. He was a tremendous valet for science, but he wasn't a scientist.
- Aurakle, on 07/07/2008, -1/+4While I don't know enough to make a judgement as to whether or not these seemingly fantastic things are probable in the near future, I have to say that it is refreshing to know that there are people who don't "know the meaning of the word 'impossible'".
- MacEnvy, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3To further explain Rally's statement, a multiverse reality doesn't require that anyone visit "our" timeline, ever, for there to be time travel in the future that reaches into "our" past.
- oneoverzero, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3Theoretical physicists are to physicists as inventors are to engineers. There's a great deal of overlap, and they're both pretty important.
- twiztidsinz, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3Will? The first one already has.
We got another hitting theaters soon and most likely another 2, dare I say 3? more.
As far as I'm concerned, even if the rest of the movies go down hill, they'd still have a better average than the original movies. -
