Kaufoptionen und Plus-Produkte
The #1 bestselling author of The Future of the Mind traverses the frontiers of astrophysics, artificial intelligence, and technology to offer a stunning vision of man's future in space, from settling Mars to traveling to distant galaxies.
We are entering a new Golden Age of space exploration. With irrepressible enthusiasm and a deep understanding of the cutting-edge research in space travel, World-renowned physicist and futurist Dr. Michio Kaku presents a compelling vision of how humanity may develop a sustainable civilization in outer space. He reveals the developments in robotics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology that may allow us to terraform and build habitable cities on Mars and beyond. He then journeys out of our solar system and discusses how new technologies such as nanoships, laser sails, and fusion rockets may actually make interstellar travel a possibility. We travel beyond our galaxy, and even beyond our universe, as Kaku investigates some of the hottest topics in science today, including warp drive, wormholes, hyperspace, parallel universes, and the multiverse. Ultimately, he shows us how humans may someday achieve a form of immortality and be able to leave our bodies entirely, laser porting to new havens in space.

Pressestimmen
—Steven Poole, The Wall Street Journal
“Kaku is a practiced and very effective popularizer of science for a general audience; he's unfailingly interesting, with an unerring instinct for the most thought-provoking aspects of his various subjects. The sheer amount of technical scientific speculation in The Future of Humanity is amazing, and yet Kaku is in smooth, perfect control of it the entire time.”
—Steve Donoghue, Christian Science Monitor

- Bewertet in Deutschland am 29. Oktober 2018Dr. Kaku is at his best with these predictions. He carefully builds the logic on which each prediction is based and becomes very easy to uinderstand.
- Bewertet in Deutschland am 20. März 2018Print is nice, book has 330 pages, font is easy to read, only drawback is that "hardcover" is poorly printed A4 paper!
- Bewertet in Deutschland am 14. März 2021While I enjoyed the fantastic scenarios presented in this book, I have a problem with the view that humanity could and should conquer the planet, solar system, galaxy, and finally the universe as described here.
What if humanity is just a temporary disease of the planet, something to shake off and leave behind?
- Bewertet in Deutschland am 17. Juli 2019Very interesting book, in my opinion it is also easy to understand with basic knowledge in physics. Many different topics are discussed there, so you don't get bored reading it. Includes past, present research and future aspects.
I deduct one star, because it is just a bit too long for me (I bought the kindle version).
All in all, a must have for all space evolution followers.
- Bewertet in Deutschland am 31. Dezember 2018Ein nettes Buch - nicht mehr. Kaku ist hier ganz sicher nicht in Höchstform. Hingeschludertes Buch, schlecht strukturiertes Narrativ, abschweifend und tw. seitenweise redundant (zu anderen Büchern von ihm). Schlecht recherchiert, Belege fehlen häufig. Fakten bisweilen erfunden... z.B. gibt es keinerlei Belege für den Einsatz von Jetpacks im Dritten Reich. Keine Empfehlung.
- Bewertet in Deutschland am 13. Oktober 2018As it was often the case in its history, humanity is at the beginning of a new epoch. With the striking difference that there are for the first time no limits. The purpose of the colonization of space is well suited to illustrate the minuteness of the earth. It is not even a quantum state in relation to the known and unknown totality of things. No matter in which relation one sets the size of the solar system to the potential infinity. More and more dimensions of space open up if one puts it in a historical connection. From a small camp to a larger village to a small town over the city-state and the principality to states and finally the colonization. With the difference that this time no illiterate extremists, but educated experts form the spearhead of the expansion wave. Good, because the deluded ancestors would probably slaughter each other in the cabin fever or out of boredom due to lack of other victims on the travels to infinity.
The Sci-Fi component boosts the nitro in the third part, in which the binding genetic adaptation of humans to new worlds of life is discussed. As seen in the first and second chapters with the terraforming of the Moon, Mars, and more distant star systems, adapting the environment is a mammoth task. And economics will have to be written larger in the universe to survive. Even if one has relatively pleasent rock planets in relation to the hostility of the universe and other worlds. The faster and easier way will be to adapt people to their worlds instead of turning everything into a monoculture of new earths. Still the creation of methane-metabolizing, acid-resistant, and photosynthetic-living people may let sweat drips appear on the face of even the most dedicated bioengineer. But even immortality, dimensional portals and time travel seem to be only a simple question of development time.
All eggs in a basket is so anachronistic. And given the diverse natural and self-made potentials for extinction events, it seems logical to go higher and further. Alone because even if one does not sympathize with humanity in general, at least to one's own children and children's children a plan B is owed. And in the face of potentially erratic experiments on Earth, climate collapse, volcanic eruptions, comical catastrophes, alien invasions, financial crises, infertility epidemics and consorts, time is hard.
Bad enough that humanity has easily overslept a few thousand years of technological development. Thanks to fanaticism and backlashes. What hypothetically implies that in the best chase scenario humanity could technologically be at the level of the year 7018 or even 12018. It may be, in a parallel world. Even now, in the long-delayed step towards the stars, the state is slowing down in the form of the cancellation of subsidies, space programs and a lack of funding of young talents. In Europe and North America, private companies are entering this empty space, while in China and India, state space programs shed light on the ignorance of the West. Maybe the last ones may be the first in a philosophical sense. But being so ignorant and destructive with the key factor of the future is a disgrace to the West.
Moreover, because the supremacy has existed 50 years ago for strategic military reasons to the enforcement of mutually assured destruction, first strike concepts, megadeath and similar confusions. And since then was dismantled because of the lack of necessity of a third world war. Although these are not a few thousand years lost as in general human development, it is still half a century of wasted potential.
Kaku sees himself standing on the shoulders of two groups of titans. Once the theoretical basis in the form of the scientifists and on the other side, the visionary power of creative minds such as writers, filmmakers and humanities scholars.
One would have to search with the magnifying glass to find a forgotten Sci-Fi trope that is not mentioned in the book. Ok, maybe except aliens and interstellar wars. But to get to know the number of concepts, technologies, drives, sciences, etc., some Sci-Fi novels are needed otherwise.
So Kaku drives the imagination and fantasy of young professionals from both sectors. Help with finding ideas and brainstorming for new books, films and video games, which arouse first interest in research and science in millions. And impulses and food for thought for aspiring researchers.
Futurism comes to its full potential if additional facts from Kaku's other works are included in the considerations and a few bits from encyclopedias are included. The scenario can be compared with "Physics of the Future" to be able to make conservative appraisals for the 21st century. If one looks into the distance, one gets into the hypotheses of his works "The Future of the Mind" and "Physics of the Impossible." Both, the incomprehensibility of human consciousness and the definition of feasibility, may lose the nimbus of impracticability over time.
This opens up the space for all thought buildings and utopias. Only the latest scientific findings prove our enormous lack of knowledge. In particular, the various branches of physics, but also anomalies observed in animals, plants and even elements with ever more excellent measuring and observation techniques. Not a door opens behind every supposedly answered question, but on the contrary, more new mysteries are revealed.
Even if one day we had explored all the dimensions, layers, and interactions of our universe, it would be possible to jump into unknown spheres at any time. With entirely different blueprints of reality, perception and the laws of nature, so that exploration can begin again at zero. A nice idea.
