Talk:Physics of the Future

Neglects wormhole propulsion systems
The book, for some reason, does not discuss wormhole propulsion systems. I highly suspect that this is because its setting ends in 2101 (the "One Year Later" Section of "Day in the Life in 2100"), whereas the first wormhole propulsion systems are generally projected in the 2500s or thereabouts. At any rate, the Article should clarify this. (The Article should discuss this matter because reason for content is technically part of the book's development, and it is a matter most readers of the Article would wonder about given conventional beliefs about distant future technology.)

Some possible improvements

 * The lead section is supposed to be a summary, but this one has specific details and quotes about the book's content, starting with "Kaku writes...". I haven't read the book, but I am assuming that this information is selected from either an introduction or a wrap-up chapter.  Shouldn't this msterial be in the content section?  Perhaps someone who has read the book can move it to an appropriate spot.


 * In the "Mind over matter" chapter, does he really say that the chip is more powerful than the Allied forces, or does he say that it's more powerful that the computer processors used by the Allied forces? There's no preview on Google Books, so I can't check.


 * In the same section, the sentence "The Pentagon hopes...." needs to be changed, since the book wasn't written by the Pentagon. Maybe something like "Kaku reminds the reader that in the year xxx the Pentagon announced its goal of ..."&mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 13:09, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
