Science Weekly: Visions of the Future

On the latest Science Weekly podcast, we get a vision of the future by speaking with theoretical physicist Michio Kaku.

Dr Kaku's currently presenting a new television series in which he explores the cutting edge science of today, tomorrow, and beyond. He believes we're living in a time of unparalleled possibilities - but also great responsibilities. It's quite possible, he says, that one day, robots may well be doing this...

Sticking with the futurist theme, we catch up with the inventors of the world's most efficient robot car, and hear from the scientist who's trying to make computers sound more human.

Also in the show, we discuss the misguided media furore over the whether it's good to be fat or not; the discovery of earth's near(ish)-twin; the science of love at first sight; and give you the most comprehensive review of the iPhone anywhere (probably).
