La física del futuro (Spanish Edition)

C³mo la ciencia modelar¡ el futuro de la humanidad y nuestra vida diaria en el siglo XXI. Con toda probabilidad, en 2100 podremos mover objetos con la mente, la inteligencia artificial estar¡ en todas partes, la medicina molecular permitir¡ cultivar casi cualquier ³rgano y los r¡pidos avances en investigaci³n gen©tica har¡n posible alargar la vida humana de forma espectacular. Pero estas extraordinarias revelaciones son solo la punta del iceberg. Kaku estudia robots sensibles, cohetes de antimateria, visi³n de rayos X y la posibilidad de crear nuevas formas de vida. Tambi©n contempla el desarrollo de la econom­a mundial y formula algunas preguntas clave:¿qui©nes ser¡n los ganadores y qui©nes los perdedores del futuro?,¿qui©nes tendr¡n empleo y qu© pa­ses prosperar¡n? Sin perder de vista los rigurosos principios cient­ficos y examinando la velocidad a la que madurar¡n ciertas tecnolog­as, Michio Kaku nos ofrece un recorrido asombroso a trav©s de los pr³ximos cien a±os de revoluci³n cient­fica. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Space elevators. Internet-enabled contact lenses. Cars that fly by floating on magnetic fields. This is the stuff of science fiction€"it's also daily life in the year 2100. Renowned theoretical physicist Michio Kaku details the developments in computer technology, artificial intelligence, medicine, space travel, and more, that are poised to happen over the next hundred years. He also considers how these inventions will affect the world economy, addressing the key questions: Who will have jobs? Which nations will prosper? Kaku interviews three hundred of the world's top scientists€"working in their labs on astonishing prototypes. He also takes into account the rigorous scientific principles that regulate how quickly, how safely, and how far technologies can advance. In Physics of the Future, Kaku forecasts a century of earthshaking advances in technology that could make even the last centuries' leaps and bounds seem insignificant.
