Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. La terraformacion de Marte, los viajes interestelares la inmortalidad y nuestro destino mas alla de la tierra.Un relato sobre galaxias, tecnologia y el futuro de la humanidad. Nuestro destino yace en las estrellas, no por nuestra curiosidad o pasion por los viajes, sino para asegurarnos nuestra propia supervivencia. Las edades de hielo, los impactos de asteroides, la capacidad de carga finita de la Tierra e incluso la futura muerte del sol son algunas de las amenazas existenciales que pueden destruir a la humanidad. Asi que, o abandonamos la Tierra o deberemos asumir la idea de nuestra inevitable extincion como especie. En El futuro de la humanidad, el Dr. Michio Kaku explora los pasos necesarios para lograr este ambicioso objetivo, describiendo las tecnologias que nos permitiran colonizar y terraformar otros planetas, aprovechar los cielos en busca de materiales preciosos y finalmente establecernos en las estrellas. El Dr. Kaku nos presenta a lo largo de estas paginas a robots autoreplicantes, nanomateriales y cultivos de bioingenieria que permitiran a la humanidad terraformar Marte; las naves nanometricas, las velas laser, las maquinas de fusion ram-jet, los motores antimateria y los cohetes hiperimpulsores que nos llevaran a las estrellas; y las tecnologias radicales que alteran el cuerpo que nos permitiran sobrevivir al largo y agotador viaje de conquista del espacio. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The #1 bestselling author of The Future of the Mind traverses the frontiers of astrophysics, artificial intelligence, and technology to offer a stunning vision of man's future in space, from settling Mars to traveling to distant galaxies.Formerly the domain of fiction, moving human civilization to the stars is increasingly becoming a scientific possibility--and a necessity. Whether in the near future due to climate change and the depletion of finite resources, or in the distant future due to catastrophic cosmological events, we must face the reality that humans will one day need to leave planet Earth to survive as a species. World-renowned physicist and futurist Michio Kaku explores in rich, intimate detail the process by which humanity may gradually move away from the planet and develop a sustainable civilization in outer space. He reveals how cutting-edge developments in robotics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology may allow us to terraform and build habitable cities on Mars. He then takes us beyond the solar system to nearby stars, which may soon be reached by nanoships traveling on laser beams at near the speed of light. Finally, he brings us beyond our galaxy, and even beyond our universe, to the possibility of immortality, showing us how humans may someday be able to leave our bodies entirely and laser port to new havens in space. With irrepressible enthusiasm and wonder, Dr. Kaku takes readers on a fascinating journey to a future in which humanity may finally fulfill its long-awaited destiny among the stars.
