MINNEAPOLIS, MN—(March 23, 2009) World renowned physicist and best-selling author Michio Kaku will discuss his book, Physics of the Impossible on Wednesday, April 15 at 7:00 p.m. at the University of Minnesota Bookstore in Coffman Memorial Union, 300 Washington Ave. S.E. Minneapolis.
From the front line of some of the most exciting developments in physics research, Kaku explores the fundamentals—and limits—of the laws of physics as we know them today. He examines the impossible technologies abandoned by scientists and relegated to science fiction. Physics of the Impossible is a fascinating and wildly entertaining exploration of force fields, time travel, precognition, parallel universes and much more from one of contemporary physics’ most brilliant minds.
Kaku is a professor of Theoretical Physics at the City University of New York. He is the author of Visions, Beyond Einstein, Hyperspace and Parallel Worlds. He is the cofounder of string field theory and hosts a nationally syndicated radio science program and the largest science web site on the Internet at www.mkaku.org.
Kaku will sign copies of his book following the discussion. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, or to order a signed copy visit www.bookstore.umn.edu/genref/authors.html.
