______________________________________________
Invisibility, teleportation, mind-reading -- these are the stuff of
science fiction. Or are they? Much of today's technology was once
considered to be impossible. Given enough time, couldn't today's
"impossibilities" also become commonplace?
The Museum of Science, Boston will host a mind-bending presentation by
best-selling author and theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku on
Wednesday, April 30 at 7:00 p.m.. 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.
Michio Kaku is an internationally recognized authority on theoretical
physics and the co-creator of string field theory (a branch of string
field theory). He holds the Henry Semat Chair and Professorship in
Theoretical Physics at The City College of New York, where he has taught
for more than 25 years. Dr. Kaku is the author of the bestsellers
Beyond Einstein, Visions, Hyperspace, and Parallel Worlds, as well as
several scholarly textbooks. He hosts two weekly radio programs heard
on stations around the country: "Science Fantastic" and "Explorations in
Science."
ADMISSION: Free.
Tickets are available to the general public in the Museum lobby
beginning at 5:45 p.m. the evening of the program. First come, first
served. Museum members may reserve a limited number of free seating
tickets in advance. For member reservations, call between 9:00 a.m. and
