Physics of the Impossible - A Scientific Exploration of the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation and Time Travel

Shows how our far-fetched ideas today - from Star Trek's phasers and teleportation to time travel as envisioned by Back to the Future - are destined to become tomorrow's reality. This book explains what's just around the corner, what we might have to wait a few millennia to get our hands on and how surprisingly little of it is truly impossible.
