2011: The Year Ahead in Science

The World

2010 may be coming to an end, but a whole new year of news and culture awaits in 2011. All week long, we’ll be talking with big thinkers about what they’re anticipating ?from new movies to world events. Today, our subject is science, and our guest is the one and only Dr. Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist, bestselling author, professor at the City University of New York, and host of ?Science of the Impossible.?

Dr. Kaku’s newest book is called “Physics of the Future: How Space Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Lives by the Year 2100.”
