You don’t get to be the physicist-in-residence at the Science Channel by being merely smart; like theoretical physicist Michio Kaku, you also have to be an expansive thinker. And the thing is, you don’t always have to make sense, at least not the mundane kind, because you’re constantly reinventing the very meaning of sense. When he’s not busy explaining string field theory, Kaku’s popular specialty is explaining how the world of sci-fi and the laws of physics can coalesce in the upper reaches of scientific speculation. Maybe, he reminds us, we will one day travel through time, though that might be a long way off, while the possibility of Star Trek-style technologies — set your phasers on stun — may be closer at hand. Dare to dream: Kaku will discuss his book (and eventual Science Channel mini-series), Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration Into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel ($15.95 in paperback, Anchor Books), which examines the limits of physical science in understandable language, tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Tattered Cover LoDo, 1628 16th Street; for information, log on to www.tatteredcover.com or call 303-436-1070.
