A Counter
In my April 4, 2008 post, Two Scifi Links, I mentioned near the end two links from Welcome To Simpleton: Things We'll Probably Never See and Why Don't We Invent It Tomorrow? These articles were written by Dave Itzkoff, who wrote about possible--and impossible--technologies from the viewpoint of Michio Kaku, a theoretical physicist who has been trying to popularize science through his radio programs and bestselling books.
Zen In Darkness sent this in: a negative review by Simon Ings (an English novelist and science writer living in London) of Kaku's book, "Physics Of The Impossible". He counters the optimism seen by Welcome To Simpleton by pointing out the weaknesses of Kaku's book.
I'm no scientist, but those of you with deeper backgrounds in science and who are more immersed in hardcore scifi might find all these links interesting.
