How to Explore the Universe Can we travel to other star systems? Warp-drive perhaps? This documentary explains possible ways for future space exploration. Dr Michio Kaku shows how we might one day explore the Universe like the crew of the Starship Enterprise.

Kaku demonstrates the mysterious properties of negative energy and looks at some ground breaking work by Professor Federico Capasso at Harvard University. Crossing the universe in the blink
