Episode: The Physics and Fantasy of Time Travel
Michio Kaku's book, 'Physics of the Impossible', was discussed, specifically how it categorizes time travel as a class two impossibility, indicating it's theoretically possible but presently challenging.
And I just, when I saw that title and I said, if it's impossible, how could it have physics that applies?
Well, that's the whole point, right? That's why you want to buy the book.
Now we're at the cutting edge of physics where I do my research. That includes wormholes, higher dimensional travel. This includes black holes and what happens at the center of a black hole, wormholes, time travel. These are class two impossibilities.
Class three is just darn impossible, period. Just plain old impossible.

Michio Kaku's book, 'Physics of the Impossible', was discussed, exploring the concept that even 'impossible' things like time travel have underlying physics, and he categorized time travel as a Class 2 impossibility.
