Physics of the Future, by Michio Kaku

Chapter Nine

Our final chapter illustrates a fictitious day in the life of someone in 2100.  Much of this resembles our impressions of television’s memorable cartoon show, “The Jetsons.” 

Discuss the technology/physics behind the scenes in each section:

- JANUARY, 2100, 6:15 A.M.

- THE OFFICE

- HOME AGAIN

- THE WEEKEND

- THE DATE

- NEXT FEW MONTHS

- A YEAR LATER

Kaku closes with this scenario:

“And then you take out an old, worn book from your back pocket, and read to her the words of someone who died more than 100 years ago. It reminds you of the challenges facing humanity before it attains a planetary civilization. Mahatma Gandhi once wrote:

The Roots of Violence:

Wealth without work,

Pleasure without conscience,

Knowledge without character,

Commerce without morality,

Science without humanity,

Worship without sacrifice,

Politics without principles.”

- How will the Bible be read and applied in the year 2100?
