  Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration Into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel

  It’s a very interesting book, but for some reason Michio Kaku’s style doesn’t spark me as much as Briane Greene’s or Stephen Hawking’s or Neil deGrasse Tyson’s.

  A theory of reality that cannot name the question it is answering is not worth building.

  Their words

  It’s totally fine to have a turtle. Everyone has a turtle. You can’t build a theory without a turtle. It depends on the problem you want to describe. Actually, the reason I can’t get behind Stephen’s ontology is I don’t know what question he’s trying to answer. Without a question to answer, I don’t understand why you’re building a theory of reality.

  It is not dry and scientific. I don't think Stephen is particularly interested in science. It's got lots of value judgements, and it is a good solid read.

  Dicing with Death

  Their words

  This book is somewhat similar to The Drunkard's Walk in that it covers the history of probability. But since Stephen's background is in medical statistics, he looks at clinical trials and other medical studies.
