Michio Kaku says that the science fiction of Star Trek is closer to reality than we might think

The Guardian has a podcast interview with Michio Kaku talks about the technology in Star Trek:

Some 80% of the technologies portrayed in science fiction like Star Trek and Star Wars – including force fields, teleportation, telekinesis, mind-reading and invisibility – will become possible within the next century. At least that's according to futurologist Michio Kaku.

Within centuries to millennia, even time travel, starships and "warp drive" may become possible, says Kaku.

Teleportation! Bring it on, better than jetpacks.
