2018-02-20: Michio Kaku's The Future of Humanity is Published

Dr. Michio Kaku is a Professor of Physics at the City University of New York, Co-Founder of String Field Theory with Dr. Brian Greene, and the Bestselling Author of several widely acclaimed Science Books, including Beyond Einstein, The Future of the Mind, Hyperspace, Physics of the Future, and Physics of the Impossible. Dr. Kaku is the Science Correspondent for CBS This Morning, which is the source for this abbreviated clip.

Previously considered to be the realm of Fiction, moving human civilization to the stars is increasingly becoming a scientific possibility--and a necessity. In his new book, Physicist and Futurist Michio Kaku reveals how the latest developments in robotics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology could permit us to construct habitable environments on Mars. He then takes us to nearby Stars, to be reached by nanoships traveling on Laser beams at near the Speed of Light. Eventual human immortality is explored with humans shedding our bodies and Laser porting to new havens in space.
