Something I would have read a decade or two ago in my spare time. These days I just hope to find somethign like this on TV. Maybe its time to read this stuff again. I did love stuff like this. Thanks for mentioning this and reminding me there is cool stuff out there to read besides Harry Potter.

In regard to lightsabers, Michio firsts lays out the complications: impossible to solidify light, light beams do not terminate in midair, etc…
What I enjoyed about the book is illustrated by how he begins the next paragraph: “Actually there is a way…”

Sounds like a great, informative, and fun read! I’ll look this one up on Amazon. Michio seems to know his stuff when it comes to physics and science, but not every guy or gal can tie it up so well to so many different aspects of pop culture. Thanks for the heads up, Dan!

A lightsaber? Lasers are being used in medicine for decades now. How cool would it be to move the tech up a notch? If we got communicators like Kirk and crew when cells came along, I wouldn’t doubt seeing lightsabers someday.
