Information
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 out??? 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 Explore the Universe
Ep. 1) Dr Michio Kaku shows how we might one day explore the Universe like the crew of the Starship
Enterprise. He visits Brookhaven National laboratory's atom smasher where particles are accelerated
to near light speed. A loophole in Einstein's theory of relativity is revealed when Professor Miguel
Alcubierre explains how Star Trek provided inspiration for his breakthrough equation showing how a
spacecraft could travel at warp speed. Kaku demonstrates the mysterious properties of negative
energy and looks at some ground breaking work by Professor Federico Capasso at Harvard University.

thank god someone is uploading these in AVI format... used to only be able to find them as mkv and
I absoloutly HATE that format... I don't care about HD for television shows. Plus I stream them to
my PS3 and my stream program hates mkv with a passion....
ipv6 ready
