Monday night, Geo Noory will have Michio Kaku mkaku.org whose forthcoming book looks at the next 100 years:
* The Internet will be in your contact lens. It will recog nize people’s faces, display their biographies, and even translate their words into subtitles. * You will control computers and appliances via tiny sensors that pick up your brain scans. You will be able to rearrange the shape of objects. * Sensors in your clothing, bathroom, and appliances will monitor your vitals, and nanobots will scan your DNA and cells for signs of danger, allowing life expectancy to increase dramatically. * Radically new spaceships, using laser propulsion, may replace the expensive chemical rockets of today. You may be able to take an elevator hundreds of miles into space by simply pushing the “up” button.
Like Physics of the Impossible and Visions before it, Physics of the Future is an exhilarating, wondrous ride through the next one hundred years of breathtaking scientific revolution.
