Sci Fi Science
Explore the world of the seemingly impossible with the all-new series SCI FI SCIENCE. Hosted by internationally-renowned physicist and co-founder of string field theory, Dr. Michio Kaku, this series poses the idea that science fiction may not be so far from science fact. Examine topics that currently seem so far outďż˝ of the realm of possibility, such as invisibility cloaks, teleportation, time travel and more.
Kaku uses discussion of speculative technologies to introduce topics of fundamental physics to the reader. The topic of invisibility becomes a discussion on why the speed of light is slower in water than a vacuum that electromagnetism is similar to ripples in a pond, and Kaku discusses newly-developed composite materials. The topic of Star Trek "phasers" becomes a lesson on how lasers work and how laser-based research is conducted. With each discussion of science fiction technology topics he also "explains the hurdles to realizing these science fiction concepts as reality".
How to Travel to a Parallel Universe
Ep. 2) Dr Michio Kaku is on a mission to design a gateway to a parallel universe - but which type should he visit? Some could have different laws of physics or alternate versions of reality. MIT cosmologist Alan Guth explains his recipe for creating your own universe in the lab. Physicist Neil Turok explains how a parallel universe is right here, only an atom's length away from us, but hidden in another dimension. The final design is mind-blowing - a machine on a scale that's literally out of this world.
