The Universe in a Nutshell

Today on Far Future Horizons we present The Universe in a Nutshell hosted by Dr. Michio Kaku, the Henry Semat Professor of Theoretical Physics at the City University of New York (CUNY).

Travelling Through Time

Time travel has been the staple of science fiction novels, television programs and major motion ever since H.G. Wells first penned his classic prototypical scientific romance "The Time Machine" in 1895.

Physics of The Impossible ~ How to Teleport with Michio Kaku

Today on Far Future Horizons we explore the technology behind teleportation. 

Teleportation is sci-fi's most exciting way to travel. Imagine zapping your molecules through space on a transporter beam right out of Star Trek. Dr. Kaku reveals how we might all one day be saying, "Beam me up Scotty".

How to Build a Force Field

Today on Far Future Horizons we join Dr. Michio Kaku for another exciting first season episode of Sci Fi Science as he theorizes how a powerful force field could be generated to protect future Starships.

Every Starship needs armour to protect it from asteroids and enemy attack- Dr. Michio Kaku reveals how cutting edge science could be used to create force fields that might one day save our space craft from an alien onslaught. 

Sci Fi Science - Designing a Lightsaber

Today on Far Future Horizons we are going to look at the possibility of designing a working light-saber. The lightsaber, as every science fiction fan knows, is a weapon which has a key role in the Star Wars movies and the franchise's expanded universe.

The lightsaber consists of a polished metal hilt which projects a blade of energy about one meter long. The lightsaber is the signature weapon of the Jedi order and their Sith counterparts, both of whom can use them for offence, or to deflect blaster bolts. In today’s episode of Sci Fi Science, Dr. Michio Kaku reveals how we could one day build a light saber using the knowledge of twenty-first century physics and engineering. 

How does the lightsaber work?

The first and second seasons of Sci Fi Science, hosted by Dr. Michio Kaku is a available on DVD from the Discovery Channel’s online store.

How to Travel to a Parallel Universe

Today on Far Future Horizons we are going to travel with physicist Dr. Michio Kaku on one of the greatest Sci-Fi expeditions ever conceived. 

In this edition of SciFi Science, Dr. Kaku will design a gateway to a parallel universe where the alternate realities of our imagination come alive and Doppelganger versions of ourselves are manifest.

MIT cosmologist Alan Guth explains his recipe for creating your own universe.

Sci Fi Science- How to Become a Superhero

The ability to move “faster than a speeding bullet, to be more powerful than a speeding locomotive and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound” may soon be within your reach.

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird, it’s a plane, no it ain’t superman, its you in your brand new Super-suit!
