Reading " Physics of the Impossible " by Dr. Michio Kaku got me thinking about science. I always loved science. It's usually my best subject in school. I used to dream of being an astronaut or to be an astronomer. Sadly, there wasn't much opportunity for being any of those in the Philippines. Up until my first year in high school, I had dreamed of being an astronomer or even just owning an astronomical telescope. My dream of being an astronomer was dashed when I told my Uncle about it and he told me there was no money in it. That's true in a way, since there is no money to be made in being an astronomer in the Philippines. That plus the fact the chicks dig jocks more than geeks. Anyway, my interest in astronomy waned and got interested in basketball more than planets. They're both round anyway, but with basketball, you get to enjoy it with friends while astronomy is a lonely hobby. That plus the fact that chicks dig basketball players more than geeks. Second y...

I just started reading a book called " Physics of the Impossible " by Dr. Michio Kaku . If you watch a lot of science shows like Discovery Channel or Nova. You may have seen him before. He is a theoretical physicist, best-selling author and co-founder of string field theory. I only read a couple of pages so far but the ideas are fascinating. He basically divides the impossibles into three categories. Class I, Class II and Class III impossibilities. Class I impossibilities are technologies that are impossible today but that do not violate the known laws of physics. They may be possible in this century or the next in modified form. These includes teleportation, antimatter engines, certain forms of telepathy, psychokinesis and invisibility. Class II impossibilities are technologies that sit on the very edge of our understanding of the physical world. If they are possible at all, they might be realized on a scale of a million years in the future. They include time machines, hyper...
