Have you ever wanted to travel through time like Marty McFly in “Back to the Future?” Use an invisibility cloak like Harry Potter in “The Prisoner of Azkaban?” Or fight with Luke Skywalker’s light saber from “Star Wars?” Time travel, teleportation, invisibility, force fields, parallel universes and other wild concepts are some of science fiction?s most popular ideas. However, could any of them actually become a reality? If so, then how? Science Channel teams with author and theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku to explore how these technologies of science fiction can feasibly (or plausibly) become parts of human life.

Today is the premiere of a new TV series, the Science Channel’s Sci-Fi Science: Physics of the Impossible with Dr. Michio Kaku. The show is based on Dr. Kaku’s New York Times best-selling book “Physics of the Impossible,” Sci-Fi Science combines his knowledge of theoretical physics with his ability to turn high-level science into viable, intelligible blueprints for light sabers, starships, time travel and more. In each episode, Dr. Kaku is illustrating how each fantastic invention would work and could be built. As he designs each blueprint, Dr. Kaku consults with the world’s most authoritative scientists to ascertain whether or not the technologies are possible and when we might be able to manufacture each of them.

Sci-Fi Science: Physics of the Impossible with Dr. Michio Kaku airs regularly Tuesdays at 10 PM (ET/PT).
