In Physics of the Impossible, Michio Kaku wrote about the unimaginable. Kaku wrote a book entirely about physics concepts, from a physicist’s point of view, and makes it understandable and interesting to kids in high school. Michio Kaku wrote about ways to change the world.
Michio Kaku’s physics theories go in depth because of his intelligence and his qualifications. He has and intelligent persona even at a young age. As a child Kaku strived to do amazing things, he wanted “to be a part of the effort to complete Einstein’s work, to unify the laws of physics into a single theory” (x). When I was younger I just wanted to watch television. Also for a science fair project he created “a 2.3-million-electron-volt betatron particle accelerator” with 20,000 times the magnetic field of the Earth (xi). Kaku shows futuristic ideology through questions such as, “can one use the laws of …show more content…
He appeals to his audiences’ logos because he has clear ideas and intentions. Kaku explains Einstein’s special theory of relativity starting with the faster a rocket moves, the slower time is. Which could mean that if one could break the light barrier, they could go back in time. But to reach the speed of light one would need to have infinite mass (219). The only thing with infinite mass is a black whole and I do not want to go through one. Kaku appeals to ethos by engaging to our inner child through combining cartoons and science such as when he mentions “the Nickelodeon program Invader Zim, [which uses] perpetual motion machines in the plots” (258). Kaku appeals to pathos because he gives readers hope for new ideas such as; “working prototypes of [metamaterials that] have actually been built in the laboratory, sparking intense interest by the media, industry, and the military in making the visible become invisible” (16). As a fan of Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings, being invisible would be
