Meeting Michio

Physicist and author Michio Kaku stopped in the store today. He's in town for an appearance tonight at the University of Minnesota bookstore (details here). He will be discussing his latest book--just out in paperback--Physics of the Impossible : A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel.

As you may have deduced from the photograph, Physics of the Impossible is the April book for our new science book club. The Big Bang Book Club meets on the fourth Tuesday of every month at Grumpy's Bar & Grill. Details on the Big Bang Book club are here.--David E

He just stopped in the store? He didn't even know you were featuring it? That's way cool. I know an author that sneaks into book stores to see how prominently they display his books. He'd be head over heels at that.

It wasn't completely out of the blue. Kaku had an escort (an author escort, all above board) to for his stay in the Cities. It was the escort who brought him into M&Q--and doubtless some other bookstores in town as well.
