Invisibility, teleportation, mind-reading—these are the stuff of science fiction. Yet much of today’s technology was once considered to be impossible. Given enough time, couldn’t these ideas also become commonplace?

Come to the Museum of Science, Boston for a mind-bending presentation by best-selling author and theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku. Dr. Kaku brings to life the science behind starships, parallel universes, force fields, and other fantastic phenomena. He’ll discuss the role of nanotechnology in learning to simulate invisibility, explain why NASA envisions sending fleets of nano ships to the stars, and more. Following the program, Dr. Kaku will sign copies of his latest book, Physics of the Impossible.

Dr. Kaku is is the co-founder of string field theory and a professor of physics at The City College of New York. He is the author of the best sellers Beyond Einstein, Visions, Hyperspace, and Parallel Worlds, as well as several scholarly textbooks.

This program is free thanks to the generosity of the Lowell Institute. Additional funding for adult programs provided by the Barbara and Malcom L. Sherman Fund for Adult Programs.
