Michio Kaku Livres

Kaku examina en esta obra cmo afectarn al siglo prximo tres campos del conocimiento tecnocientfico que ya revolucionaron nuestro siglo: la revolucin cuntica, la biogentica y la informtica. Los lectores contemplarn un mundo ciberntico, en el que millones de los actuales microprocesadores, distribuidos por todo el planeta, sern sustituidos finalmente por numerosos ordenadores biolgicos y cunticos; como la descodificacin de la molcula de la herencia, el ADN, permitir vencer enfermedades devastadoras, derrotar cnceres al nivel molecular, sintetizar nuevas medicinas, hacer crecer nuevos rganos, alterar la herencia gentica y combatir el envejecimiento. Y finalmente, cmo la fsica cuntica perfeccionar nuevos mecanismos para dominar la energa csmica del Universo, desde mquinas moleculares hasta superimanes que harn posible una segunda revolucin industrial, o poderosos dispositivos basados en la fusin nuclear, que algn da transportarn a nuestros descendientes hasta otros sistemas planetarios.

An insightful new book putting Einstein's work in a contemporary context Few figures loom as large as Albert Einstein in our contemporary culture. It is truly remarkable that a man from such humble beginnings, an unemployed dreamer without a future or a job, who was written off by his professors as a hopeless loser, could to dare to scale the heights he reached. In this enlightening book Michio Kaku reasseses Einstein's work by centering on his three great theories - special relativity, general relativity and the Unified Field Theory. The first yielded the equation E =mc2 which is now such a fixture in our culture that it is practically a ubiquitous slogan. But the subsequent theories led to the Big Bang theory and have changed irrevocably the way we perceive time and space. Michio Kaku gives a new, refreshing look at the pioneering work of Einstein, giving a more accurate portrayal of his enduring legacy than previous biographies. As today's advanced physicists continue their intense search to fulfill Einstein's most cherished dream, a 'theory of everything', he is recognised as a prophet who set the agenda for modern physics.

"Superstrings" explores one of the most intriguing areas of modern physics, aiming to unify general relativity and quantum field theory. This comprehensive graduate text covers advanced topics such as string field theory and conformal field theory, starting from basic point particle theory and employing the Feynman path integral technique.

Exploring the fate of the universe, this book delves into astrophysical theories regarding cosmic evolution and potential end scenarios. It examines the implications of a dying universe on existence and humanity's place within it. Through a blend of scientific inquiry and philosophical reflection, the author invites readers to contemplate the mysteries of space, time, and the ultimate destiny of all things. Engaging and thought-provoking, it challenges perceptions of life and the cosmos.

Exploring the urgent need for humanity to migrate beyond Earth, this book delves into the scientific advancements that could make interstellar colonization a reality. Renowned physicist Michio Kaku discusses how emerging technologies like robotics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology could enable the terraforming of Mars and the construction of habitable cities. He also envisions travel to nearby stars using nanoships and speculates on the potential for immortality through radical new forms of existence. Kaku's engaging narrative invites readers to imagine a future where humanity thrives among the stars.

The Future of the Mind brings us a stunning new vision of our future in space. Human civilization is on the verge of living beyond Earth. But how will it happen? World-renowned physicist Michio Kaku takes us on a journey to the future, introducing the mind-boggling developments in robotics, nanotechnology and biotechnology that will one day enable us to make our homes among the stars.

From the renowned theoretical physicist and national bestselling author of The God Equation comes the first book-length exploration of the most exciting development in modern physics: the theory of 10-dimensional space. "Among the best of its genre to appear in recent years...What a wonderful adventure it is, trying to think the unthinkable!" —The New York Times Book Review The theory of hyperspace, which Michio Kaku pioneered, may be the leading candidate for the Theory of Everything that Einstein spent the remaining years of his life searching for.

Focusing on the latest advancements in string theory, the book updates readers on vital research areas, including conformal string theories, knot theory, and insights from M-theory regarding 11-dimensional strings. It introduces new concepts such as Seiberg-Witten theory and D-branes while reviewing foundational elements of string theory to ensure accessibility. By building on previous work, it highlights the dynamic nature of current research and positions readers at the cutting edge of theoretical physics.

Recording memories, mind reading, videotaping our dreams, mind control, avatars, and telekinesis - no longer are these feats of the mind solely the province of overheated science fiction. The author takes us on a tour of the top laboratories around the world to meet the scientists who are already revolutionising the way we think about the brain.
