Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100
by Michio Kaku


FIXED VERSION!



In Physics of the Future, Michio Kaku—the New York
Times bestselling author of Physics of the Impossible—gives us
a stunning, provocative, and exhilarating vision of the coming
century based on interviews with over three hundred of the
world’s top scientists who are already inventing the future in
their labs. The result is the most authoritative and scientifically
accurate description of the revolutionary developments taking
place in medicine, computers, artificial intelligence,
nanotechnology, energy production, and astronautics.
In all likelihood, by 2100 we will control computers via tiny brain
sensors and, like magicians, move objects around with the power
of our minds. Artificial intelligence will be dispersed throughout
the environment, and Internet-enabled contact lenses will allow
us to access the world's information base or conjure up any
image we desire in the blink of an eye.
Meanwhile, cars will drive themselves using GPS, and if room-
temperature superconductors are discovered, vehicles will
effortlessly fly on a cushion of air, coasting on powerful magnetic
fields and ushering in the age of magnetism.
Using molecular medicine, scientists will be able to grow almost
every organ of the body and cure genetic diseases. Millions of
tiny DNA sensors and nanoparticles patrolling our blood cells will
silently scan our bodies for the first sign of illness, while rapid
advances in genetic research will enable us to slow down or
maybe even reverse the aging process, allowing human life
spans to increase dramatically.
In space, radically new ships—needle-sized vessels using laser
propulsion—could replace the expensive chemical rockets of
today and perhaps visit nearby stars. Advances in
nanotechnology may lead to the fabled space elevator, which
would propel humans hundreds of miles above the earth’s
atmosphere at the push of a button.
But these astonishing revelations are only the tip of the iceberg.
Kaku also discusses emotional robots, antimatter rockets, X-ray
vision, and the ability to create new life-forms, and he considers
the development of the world economy. He addresses the key
questions: Who are the winner and losers of the future? Who will
have jobs, and which nations will prosper?
All the while, Kaku illuminates the rigorous scientific principles,
examining the rate at which certain technologies are likely to
mature, how far they can advance, and what their ultimate
limitations and hazards are. Synthesizing a vast amount of
information to construct an exciting look at the years leading up
to 2100, Physics of the Future is a thrilling, wondrous ride through
the next 100 years of breathtaking scientific revolution.
