Beginning Saturday, March 15, 2008 and running through midnight Pacific Time March 31, 2008 we’re giving away a signed copy of “Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration Into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel,” the new book written by one of the world’s foremost theoretical physicists, Dr. Michio Kaku.
To be eligible to win this one prized copy send an email, and put “Impossible Physics” in the subject line.
Please include your full name and shipping address in the body of the email.
Sorry, but this contest is only open to residents of the United States and no P.O. Boxes please. The book will be shipped directly to the winner from Dr. Kaku’s publicists and not Slice of SciFi.
Review From Publishers Weekly
In this latest effort to popularize the sciences, City University of New York professor and media star Kaku (Hyperspace) ponders topics that many people regard as impossible, ranging from psychokinesis and telepathy to time travel and teleportation. His Class I impossibilities include force fields, telepathy and antiuniverses, which don’t violate the known laws of science and may become realities in the next century. Those in Class II await realization farther in the future and include faster-than-light travel and discovery of parallel universes. Kaku discusses only perpetual motion machines and precognition in Class III, things that aren’t possible according to our current understanding of science. He explains how what many consider to be flights of fancy are being made tangible by recent scientific discoveries ranging from rudimentary advances in teleportation to the creation of small quantities of antimatter and transmissions faster than the speed of light. Science and science fiction buffs can easily follow Kaku’s explanations as he shows that in the wonderful worlds of science, impossible things are happening every day.
NEW ENTRY RULES: One email entry per email address per day.
Kristie please re-enter by sending an email to the address listed in the announcement. We don’t think you really want to advertise your shipping address on the internet for all to see. Good luck in the contest.

Interesting
I’ve been interested in these things since I could walk.
I’d love to read this book.
Oh! Whow this would be an interesting read. It would be interesting to read an opinion of a world formost theoretical physicists on subjects once touted as pure science fiction.
This could be a very interesting book. …Thanks for the sweep. … Alan

Very,very interesting.Something I could dig.
Hello
would love this
This looks like a good one.
Michio Kaku has a way of explaining science that anyone can understand. I’ve been listening to him for several years now and am always amazed with the new theories he comes up with. Would love to have this book. Thanks.
Time travel exists! How else could I have an eighteen year old mind and fifty-five year old knees?
I like that’s on the cover there is a Police Booth traveling through time? 🙂
AWESOME PRIZE AND I’D LOVE TO READ, REVIEW AND POST IT!
WANNA WIN IT!
Please and Thank You
waaaaaaaaa! I AM SO WANTING THIS!
count me in
To bodly go where no man has gone before.
may the force be with me
This man really thinks outside of the box. I would love to read his new book.
Just because it’s implausible, doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
great contest
Sounds like a very thought prevoking book. In my humble laymen way I fell with quantum mechanics and since thought is electrical energy in the brain and energy can never be destroyed it opens up the paranormal field of telepathy, remote viewing,residual hauntings, etc. “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
