Hyperspace, Visions, Parallel Worlds, Beyond Einstein, & Einstein's Cosmos. Please visit my web site www.mkaku.org for more information on my publications.
Dr. Michio Kaku is an internationally recognized authority in theoretical physics and the environment. His most popular and best selling books include "Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps and the Tenth Dimension" and "Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century", which have been widely translated in different languages. His recent book "Parallel Worlds: a Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos," was selected as a finalist for the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction in the UK (the rough equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize) and also a finalist for the Aventis Science Book Prize (UK).
Today, Dr. Michio Kaku holds the Henry Semat Professorship in Theoretical Physics at the City University of New York (CUNY), where he has taught for over 25 years.
Dr. Kaku hosts a weekly syndicated radio program, "Explorations in Science," which is a production of station WBAI-FM in New York City, a Pacifica owned station. "Explorations" is heard on the Pacifica stations as well as community and independent radio stations and on the world wide web. Dr. Kaku defines the show as dealing with the general topics of science, war, peace and the environment. Podcasts Coming Soon!
In April, 2006, Dr. Kaku started broadcasting on 90 commercial radio stations. The program is called "Science Fantastic," and is the only nationally syndicated science program on commercial radio in the country. It airs from 5pm to 8pm (EDT) on Saturdays, and takes listener phone calls from around the country. Guests have included Nobel Laureates as well as top researchers in areas such as string theory, time travel, black holes, gene therapy, aging, space travel, artificial intelligence, SETI, and futurology. Its focus is the future of science. Podcasts Coming Soon!
Dr. Kaku has become a popular figure in mainstream media, due to his knowledge, as well as his accessible approach to explaining complex physics, quantum mechanics and other topics from a layperson's point of view.
Me and my husband nominated you on Courvoisier The Future 500, I wish you could be a winner as you are one the best scientists around. I watched Horizon and you are very good at explaining things. This is the link for Courvoisier The Future 500, please apply and everybody please vote!
Hello Dr. Kaku, Just wanted to say that you are the reason for the biggest turning point in my life. When the documentary "Alien Planet" came out years ago, it made me ask myself some seemingly uncomfortable questions about my beliefs... As you know, no one can (currently) prove or disprove any religion, but now I'd say my religion is physics or M-theory. I plan to take physics and astronomy in college soon, and I want to be on the cutting edge of the field. Thanks for all your inspiration, and making me ask those most fundamental questions about who and what we are. Daniel White in Seattle WA
Hi There Dr. Michio Kaku, How are you doing? I have listened to waht you call a Type 1 Civilization. I was just wondering, did you hear about one of the theories that people intend to warm up Mars for a second home for people other than green house gasses, that we have discovered already? I was talking about this one theory that they would attach mirrors the size of Texas to satelites, and torbit Mars to rephrate the sun's rays. This would point out the theory that you pointed out about us evolving into a Type 1 Civilization. You mentioned how a Type 1 Civilization plays with it's star. That is what we would be doing there. They intend to do that with in the next hundred years as you said. I agree with you about what you said about us evolving into a Type 1 Civilization by the theories that you presented.
One of the most important questions to ask is: Why are we here? This should not be asked from a philosophical standpoint, but from a from the most mechanical scientific viewpoint. Also: What is HERE? It is from a dispassionate observer's viewpoint concerning these two most notable philosophical questions, we might find answers to the mysteries of the Cosmos
I'm reading HyperSpace, and I'm taking from it this quote:
One problem with constructing a theory of gravity is that the force is so weak. For example, it takes the entire mass of the Earth to keep a piece of paper on my desk. However, by brushing a comb through my hair, I can pickup these pieces of paper, overwhelming the force of the planet Earth.
each one of us have a walk in inside , the mission is to understand , flow , and learn how to live with them , we are time travel machines for them , they have the ability to enter our bodies thru the conciseness and we should let them enjoy this ride because we are just the body carriers and we should thank the creators for every second of being here , for us everything look like flowing with the way of nature but there is help out there , keep flowing with your way mr kaku , you are sky rocking talent , greetings from SIAGO type 3,Arcturus,Galactic
Please Dr.Kaku talk to us about Fractal Geometry, please!!! but here or on youtube so all of us that can't get to one of your lectures also understand the beauty of matematics. We love you very much!!!
Whatup Kaku!!! Read Physics of the Impossible for the second time and am now starting on Hyperspace. Your books are amazing and very interesting. I encourage you to right another book that goes more in depth with dark matter and anti matter.
