Fisica de lo imposible / Physics of the Impossible

Michio Kaku

?Hasta que punto los ingenios de la ciencia ficcion que hoy consideramos imposibles pueden ser habituales en el futuro?

Teletransporte, maquinas del tiempo, campos de fuerza y naves intergalacticas:?materia de ciencia ficcion o tecnologias potencialmente disponibles en el futuro? Inspirado por los mundos fantasticos de H.G. Wells, Star Trek o La guerra de las galaxias, el prestigioso fisico teorico y divulgador Michio Kaku lanza una mirada inteligente, seria y a menudo sorprendente a lo que nuestra actual comprension de las leyes del universo nos permite vislumbrar en el futuro.

Un fascinante viaje por mundos hasta ahora solo sonados por la ciencia ficcion, que ofrece nuevos retos a las proximas generaciones de cientificos capaces de desafiar las imposibilidades de nuestro tiempo.

Resenas:

Fisica de lo imposible trata de explicar por que algunas visiones del futuro podrian llegar a realizarse mientras que otras probablemente permaneceran mas alla de los limites de lo posible […] La ciencia ficcion explora a menudo estas cuestiones; la ciencia en cambio permanece callada en este punto. El trabajo de Kaku ayuda a llenar un vacio. The Economist

Aquello que muchos consideran un vuelo de la imaginacion se esta materializando gracias a recientes descubrimientos cientificos, que van desde timidos progresos en teletransporte hasta la creacion de pequenas cantidades de antimateria y transmisiones mas rapidas que la velocidad de la luz. Kaku demuestra que en los maravillosos mundos de la ciencia las cosas imposibles suceden a diario. Publishers Weekly

Pocos fisicos teoricos se plantearian explorar algunas de estas posibles imposibilidades, y hay que felicitar a Kaku por hacerlo. Es un excelente estimulo intelectual. Los Angeles Times

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NOW A #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Compelling….Kaku thinks with great breadth, and the vistas he presents us are worth the trip
The New York Times Book Review

The New York Times best-selling author of PHYSICS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE, PHYSICS OF THE FUTURE and HYPERSPACE tackles the most fascinating and complex object in the known universe: the human brain.

For the first time in history, the secrets of the living brain are being revealed by a battery of high tech brain scans devised by physicists. Now what was once solely the province of science fiction has become a startling reality. Recording memories, telepathy, videotaping our dreams, mind control, avatars, and telekinesis are not only possible; they already exist.

THE FUTURE OF THE MIND gives us an authoritative and compelling look at the astonishing research being done in top laboratories around the world-all based on the latest advancements in neuroscience and physics. One day we might have a smart pill that can enhance our cognition; be able to upload our brain to a computer, neuron for neuron; send thoughts and emotions around the world on a brain-net ; control computers and robots with our mind; push the very limits of immortality; and perhaps even send our consciousness across the universe.

Dr. Kaku takes us on a grand tour of what the future might hold, giving us not only a solid sense of how the brain functions but also how these technologies will change our daily lives. He even presents a radically new way to think about consciousness and applies it to provide fresh insight into mental illness, artificial intelligence and alien consciousness.

With Dr. Kaku’s deep understanding of modern science and keen eye for future developments, THE FUTURE OF THE MIND is a scientific tour de force–an extraordinary, mind-boggling exploration of the frontiers of neuroscience.
