For science fiction fans in the Twin Cities area, I have some good news. Michio Kaku, author of Physics of the Impossible, will be discussing his new book Physics of the Future. This book discusses where technology is moving in the future, specifically in the year 2100.
Dr. Kaku, a theoretical physicist, will appear at Coffman Memorial Union on April 7th at 7PM. If you are unfamiliar with Dr. Kaku, he has spoken on many programs ranging from news programs, History Channel's The Universe, his own show on the Science Channel named Physics of the Impossible, and he even recently appeared on Conan. However, I find that it's hard to forget this white haired ebullient scientist who often discusses the theory of everything. This concept tries to unify the four fundamental forces of the universe, the weak nuclear force, the strong nuclear force, gravity, and electromagnetism. This event is a must for any physics fans.
