Reviews
On Nov 27 2011, Forgotten Soul said:
Physics of the Impossible is a great book if you enjoy physics. The book talks about what people today see as impossible, such as AI, hover crafts, telepathy, teleportation, etc., and it goes into the science behind it, proving that it may one day come into our world. Through reading this book, one learns interesting facts and different things in each field of physics. I personally enjoyed this book because physics happens to be one of my favorite subjects. Plus you learn lots about the science behind great classics like Star Wars, Star Trek, Back to the Future, and more. I recommend you read this book if you are interested in technology, physics and broadening your mind.
