Why read it?

1 author picked Physics of the Impossible as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

When I was researching time travel theories for A Paradox of Fates, I dove into this book and fell in love with Kaku’s writing all over again. I’d read him previously, and he does a great job at explaining high-concept science at a common-sense level. This is a fantastic book for anyone curious about physics where understanding seems just out of reach. 

From Rebecca's list on for fellow science dorks.
