We human beings either become extinct or move to other planets. Do you know how many near-earth objects in the solar system pass by the Earth? An astronomer said something about this threat:”we live in a cosmic shooting gallery.” A major impact from these objects is just a matter of time. We also face the possibility that the super volcano under Yellowstone National Park may awaken from its long slumber. We will likely meet another ice age within the next ten thousand years. It is as inescapable as the laws of physics that humanity will one day confront some type of extinction-level event.

The earth has already sustained five major extinction cycles, in which up to 90 percent of all life-forms vanished from the Earth. By contrast, any two chimpanzees can have more genetic variation between them than is found in the entire human population. This is why any two humans have almost identical DNA. Remarkably, this band of humans would become the ancestral Adams and Eves who would eventually populate the entire planet. He explains science in a fun and understandable way.ħ5000 years ago, the eruption of the Toba volcano was so violent that most of the wildlife perished and only about 2000 human beings survived. Dr Michio Kaku is a professor of theoretical physics at the City University of New York. I just added a few lines in between in order to connect some paragraphs. Note, most words are directly copied from the book. I summarized the book by quoting the core information from this book. Ultimately, he shows us how humans may someday achieve a form of immortality and be able to leave our bodies entirely, laser porting to new havens in space.The Future of Humanity is such as great book.

We travel beyond our galaxy, and even beyond our universe, as Kaku investigates some of the hottest topics in science today, including warp drive, wormholes, hyperspace, parallel universes, and the multiverse. He then journeys out of our solar system and discusses how new technologies such as nanoships, laser sails, and fusion rockets may actually make interstellar travel a possibility. He reveals the developments in robotics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology that may allow us to terraform and build habitable cities on Mars and beyond.

Michio Kaku presents a compelling vision of how humanity may develop a sustainable civilization in outer space. With irrepressible enthusiasm and a deep understanding of the cutting-edge research in space travel, World-renowned physicist and futurist Dr. We are entering a new Golden Age of space exploration. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The #1 bestselling author of The Future of the Mind traverses the frontiers of astrophysics, artificial intelligence, and technology to offer a stunning vision of man's future in space, from settling Mars to traveling to distant galaxies.
