Dr. Michio Kaku: SCI FI or SCI FACT, Part 1

Is telepathy possible? How about teleportation or starships? In this lecture, Dr. Michio Kaku (a frequent host on science shows for the Discovery Channel, PBS, and author of the best selling book "Physics of the Impossible") talks about many popular technologies in science fiction from a physics perspective, and what it would take to make many of these technologies a reality. SCI FI or SCI FACT is part of a major lecture series at ASU on science presented by Beyond, the Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science. A center at the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Beyond seeks to create new and exciting ideas that push the boundaries of research and to answer foundational questions in science, and explore their philosophical ramifications what might be called the big questions To learn more about other great programs, institutes, and events at the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at ASU, go to http://clas.asu.edu For more about the Beyond Center, go to http://beyond.asu.edu
