Imagine, if you can, the world in the year 2100.
In Physics of the Future , Michio Kaku—the New York Times bestselling author of Physics of the Impossible —gives us a stunning, provocative, and exhilarating vision of the coming century based on interviews with over three hundred of the world’s top scientists who are already inventing the future in their labs. The result is the most authoritative and scientifically accurate description of the revolutionary developments taking place in medicine, computers, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, energy production, and astronautics.
In all likelihood, by 2100 we will control computers via tiny brain sensors and, like magicians, move objects around with the power of our minds. Artificial intelligence will be dispersed throughout the environment, and Internet-enabled contact lenses will allow us to access the world's information base or conjure up any image we desire in the blink of an eye.
Meanwhile, cars will drive themselves using GPS, and if room-temperature superconductors are discovered, vehicles will effortlessly fly on a cushion of air, coasting on powerful magnetic fields and ushering in the age of magnetism.
Using molecular medicine, scientists will be able to grow almost every organ of the body and cure genetic diseases. Millions of tiny DNA sensors and nanoparticles patrolling our blood cells will silently scan our bodies for the first sign of illness, while rapid advances in genetic research will enable us to slow down or maybe even reverse the aging process, allowing human life spans to increase dramatically.
In space, radically new ships—needle-sized vessels using laser propulsion—could replace the expensive chemical rockets of today and perhaps visit nearby stars. Advances in nanotechnology may lead to the fabled space elevator, which would propel humans hundreds of miles above the earth’s atmosphere at the push of a button.
But these astonishing revelations are only the tip of the iceberg . Kaku also discusses emotional robots, antimatter rockets, X-ray vision, and the ability to create new life-forms, and he considers the development of the world economy. He addresses the key questions: Who are the winner and losers of the future? Who will have jobs, and which nations will prosper?
All the while, Kaku illuminates the rigorous scientific principles, examining the rate at which certain technologies are likely to mature, how far they can advance, and what their ultimate limitations and hazards are. Synthesizing a vast amount of information to construct an exciting look at the years leading up to 2100, Physics of the Future is a thrilling, wondrous ride through the next 100 years of breathtaking scientific revolution. -- From the Hardcover edition.

未來到底是什麼模樣,我到底應該會做什麼改變這個世界? 我從小就喜歡物理,物理學也是我學得最好的一門學科。我堅信世界上萬物都是符閤物理規律的,這就是根本吧。 確實是,如果真的要我找一個信仰的話,我選擇科學。所以我相信科學傢的話,如果科學上認為我們必將走齣來見麵...
評分書名欠妥。應該是未來的技術。 書斷斷續續讀瞭許久。主要是信息量太大瞭。文學類的書籍可以一口氣讀下來,但涉及到包含大量知識的相對專業的書籍,即使屬於科譜類,也是覺得讀的太多,大腦有點裝不下,需要放放,再接著讀。 讀加來道雄的書,最大的體會,是真正好的科譜,不該...

評分Michio Kaku的科普著作Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100 被豆瓣簡單地略去副標題 "2100年科學如何塑性人類命運和日常生活". 這本來是介紹物理學在未來科技中的應用, 略去副標題以後成瞭"物理學的未來". 物理...

很久沒有看這種展望未來的書瞭。書的結尾部分讓我想起瞭《小靈通漫遊未來》,但比小靈通差遠瞭。全書的討論基於對過往和現在科技狀態的分析來展望和預測未來發展的可能性,很值得一讀。
