Would the bus in Speed really have made that jump? Could a Star Wars ship actually explode in space? What really would have happened if you said "Honey, I shrunk the kids"? Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics is a hilarious guide to the biggest mistakes, most outrageous assumptions…
A study of the new scientific understanding of consciousness and the mind as a fifth dimension of reality - Introduces the existence of a fifth dimension--one of mind--an inner- or hyperspace where time is transcended - Shows how the barrier of the speed of light is actually a g…
One hundred years ago, scientists would have said that lasers, televisions, and the atomic bomb were beyond the realm of physical possibility. Here, physicist Michio Kaku explores to what extent the technologies and devices of science fiction that are deemed equally impossible t…
