My Thoughts on Michio Kaku’s Article “Physics of the Impossible”

Michio Kaku’s article “Physics of the Impossible” embodies exactly what you think…the impossible. He talks about his fascination with Science Fiction and how it relates to his career today as a scientist. He focuses a lot on the relationship that Science Fiction and science actually have. He begins his article with listing some impossibilities and what would happen if they were indeed possible! He was apparently so intrigued by the impossible ever since he was a little kid to his career as an adult. Kaku states that over the years he has learned that the word “impossible” is nothing but a relative term. People in the past never thought that certain things could eventually become POSSIBLE. But back then, there were not as many resources as there are today. Kaku states, “the serious study of the impossible has frequently opened up rich and entirely unexpected domains of science.” There is a constant search for improvement and inventions. He even points out that there are improvements in today’s society for the impossible becoming possible. I really enjoyed this article because I love knowing that there is room for new things that you never thought would become a reality. I feel like we are all dreamers and imagine these crazy inventions and see them in movies, but to actually know that some of them can possible be real…is next to impossible!
