so…you ever wanted to become invisible? how about teleport? Tell the future?
Well this article explains what needs to happen in the world of physics for these things to happen, it also explains what is keeping the world from accomplishing these things, and the general theory on how these may work.
You would have to admit that all these would be pretty cool and all these would be major steps forward for the world. Time travel would allow us to fix mistakes that were made, and precognition would keep us from making those mistskes. Teleportation would allow faster transportation and completely take vehicle emitions out of the atmospere. invisibility would completely change war, and the way it is faught. though this would be dangerous if used outside of war. Just think of it murder with no facial I.D., and robbery that you never see happening. Alien contact…this could go either way…option one their friendly and help advance the human race…or they kill us all. one way or the other all these are not far away. (except for aliens…they don’t exist.)

This article is really interesting. In reading about teleportation I learned that teh object isn’t actually moved. Instead, the original particles are destroyed and the new particles are just a copy of the original with all its information. Although it would be really amazing to be able to just teleport somewhere, it doesn’t look like that is going to happen soon, if it ever does.
The article further talks about teh ability to render things invisible and possibly travel through time. While these things were once thought impossible, invisibility via a new metamaterial is possible. As far as time travel, we would ahve to be able to stabilize a wormhole with something caleed negative energy, which has only been produced in a laboratory.
This was an informative article and I’m glad i took the time to read it.
I think the lesson Professor Kaku is reflecting on is that we should never declare things impossible. History has shown many times that today’s impossibility is tomorrow’s reality. Good article, Chase!
