X-ray vision, doubled life spans, lots of robots, and zoos filled with animals that are now extinct.
It may sound like a science fiction novel from your childhood, but this is the not-too-distant future envisioned by quantum physicist Michio Kaku in his book Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100.
Today in a show originally aired in March, Steve Kraske talks with Kaku about his fascinating predictions, and find out what else he sees for mankind in the days to come.
