Dr. Michio Kaku: SCI FI or SCI FACT Lecture PART 3

[TheIniquitous21]

love this guy

[rrave24]

so...we are going to be the BORG!!!!

[SuperSimoholic]

Is it just me, or does all this talk of colonizing the galaxy make any one else want to play Spore??

[paunocu666]

@SuperSimoholic you're not going to win Thumbs Up...

[bakemonoshi]

that probe might be us, initially.. Right? I guess our interests will be elsewhere by then..

[NickSandlinTV]

@KrokE71 I love being a FSU student!!

[ColdByrdz]

"Tiny little needles, the size of a needle". Hmmmm xD

[ilerien]

can i has that chip?

[MizuOtaku]

Well not Telepathy, more like Tele-mechanics.

[johnnylifeson]

Microsoft Works !!! HAHAHAHA !!!! Linux sure does...

[mquiroz90]

i would love to mind my friends minds and animals too!! and pick things up i can be a hero!!

[0NoName9]

Like fuck they're going to tell the public if an alien probe on the moon is found.

[DarkGen100]

I LOVE THIS GUY !!!

[DarkGen100]

I LOVE TJIS GUY LOL!!!!!!

[CallOFDutyMVP666]

This guy is the modern oriental Einstein.

[smarfling]

Funny how he compares our brain to how the Terminator pretty much describes his

[deanmullen10]

the light beams shining of you are heading into space and ironically enough will arrive in interstellar flight by next year

[deanmullen10]

michio is great! he knows his stuff. his books r great. reading parallel worlds & physics of the impossible lately :)

[Apjooz]

Tiny little needles the size of a needle.

[tommyn79]

he scratches his face too much.. . give him some lotion please :), or tell him to take a shower then come back for the presentation :)

[powd3rdayz]

Yea that's cool. But can he play Crysis?

[LordXarti]

@powd3rdayz Actually he probably can! Dr. Kaku even has his own segment on SPIKE tv's Game Trailers tv show, just FYI

[WINxTEC]

@powd3rdayz

What do you mean by that? Lol.

[jonjon2034]

@powd3rdayz He MADE crysis lol

[Catcherintherye11111]

funny and genius michio you are too fucking epic!

[smokew33d4life420xxx]

this guy makes the future of technology sound awesome!!

[FandensOldemoder]

The mindreading part is great news for dictators

[AZ09astrophysicist]

UNITED STATES is LAND of THE FREE = Contradiction in TERMS!! 

[Digifier]

@AZ09astrophysicist

I call it Land of the Freak.

[WillewallEE]

the intel inside joke was just bloody brilliant xD

[sushanalone]

Microsoft Works was awesome when i heard it first time and is still hilarious, i rem it every time windows or Internet explorer fails! :P

[TheEm12121]

wow

[MrDeano324]

@jeebersjumpincyrst

Actually the European Space Agency is said to be closest to finishing a prototype starship. Closely modeled on the British company Virgin's VSS Voyager space vessel used for public space flights.

[jeebersjumpincryst]

isnt megatron or bad-arse-atron or lying-tron from transformers crashed on darkside of moon? Dr Kaku reckons its micro-tron... :(

[hammerkkk]

@jeebersjumpincryst

hahahah lol

[jeebersjumpincryst]

lol - nasa building starships! Yeah right. In 100 years nasa's grandchildren will be cooking, cleaning toilets and servicing the rooms on china's and india's starships. ;)

[hivelocity100]

I watched several of his lectures, and NO ONE EVER laughs at the "Smart Barbie" joke....but everyone always laughs at the subsequent "Microsoft Works" joke. lol. I don't get why though

[TripleX2go]

Physicists gives the idea, engineers needs to build it.Like laser gun and light saber now please.

[kunjarify]

@ despinapjr

Everyone likes a good conspiracy theory.

JET – A European joint venture

 The Joint European Torus (JET) investigates the potential of fusion power as a safe, clean, and virtually limitless energy source for future generations.

as quoted from, jet.efda.org/

[Dragonzphoenix]

lol... Microsoft works... XD  So true

[Dragonzphoenix]

lol... Micro Soft works... XD  So true

[Asiats1]

He's a better public speaker than Stephen Hawkings that's for sure.

[iceman4pchs]

@Asiats1 Haha man!

[liptonBlueBirdAdd]

@Asiats1 :|

[despinapjr]

Unlimited energy sources are out there!But the Oil coporations life depends on covering this up,Get a motor that works with the power of magnets only at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,take part in the revolution!

[darthvader7888]

Wish when he was talking about Starships, he also mentioned Hyperspace (or something like it, if such a thing could exist) and Wormholes...

oh well.

[barr65]

one problem with the nanobot theory, those nanobots could malfunction and then you have 1 million nano bots to fight off

[tsolorio3001]

@barr65 Unless you created a backdoor to disable them in case the went haywire. You wouldn't want something loose like that.

[tiecuando]

Aw damn it, I thought that I thought of the nano probe galaxy exploration idea! Shit!

[hanspanzer]

this charismatic scientist should promote the venus project :)

[davisgreen2020]

Alas the film 2001 could have come true had not NASA space progamme had not be scrap to the Space Shuttle and humankind have been stuck in LEO ever since 1972 after Apollo 17 left the Moon !! Going back to the Moon in 2020 and on to Mars 13 years later ( when Mars is next closest to Earth..) is the ONLY way forward for humanrace !!! The film could have been called 2031 !!

[Sheilaaliens]

LMAO @ 3:47 Microsoft Works... Michio, you scamp ;P

[madzombie6]

smart barbie dolls lol

[Sheilaaliens]

@madzombie6 yes? you rang? lol :P

[Sanksion]

"the brain has no windows"

I could have guess so far ^^

[soledestate]

I don't want a microchip and I don't want government reading my mind.

[emperorkang]

Mr. Caca, do you happen to have a Masters degree in B.S.?

[KillaDawg360]

Hm.... Did he just state humans were an evolving cancer? =P We shall anhiliate this universe, one planet at a time. Once the ability to colonize on far planets begins, that is when the human race is guaranteed to never die.

[namanh]

i didnt get it when he said microsoft works?

[hakesho]

@namanh

there is a program called "microsoft works" which is like a worse version of microsoft word. he called the name a contradiction suggesting that microsoft products dont work.

[namanh]

@hakesho ahh thanks......

thats why u should get a mac:D

[Judy101101]

when we recognzie the bigness in our world is exactly the same as what's inside the smallness then we'll see we don't need technology to do everything for us but rather use technology to train us how to do this from inside without technology - inventors will be out of work if we learn how to do things without their inventions lol

[LordBicen]

Savor this mans work. One of the Greatest minds of our generation.

[uut0]

wut if i keep thinking and thinking and thinking constantly can they still kno if i lie :P?

[Tamaohoi]

humans are to be an intergalactic virus.....(evil laugh)

[rick9021090210]

Jajaja.... "... contradiction in terms: Microsoft Works..." XD

[NiqueJB]

hahaha the precursors of a Dreadnaught! :D

[skeesterj]

Is that a pack of Marb 27s on the podium?

[Bassbait]

Kubrick = genius. He's smarter than any one person I could possibly name. Sure,

Einstein had all of his glory, and Newton was probably the greatest discoverer

of all time. Kubrick, however, was different in that he did everything right. Not one

of his movies that I've seen have failed in any way. 2001 is still a masterpiece and

still a great looking film as well. Everything he did worked, and he gets no credit

for his incredible ability to make sense of even senseless things, as in 2001.

[DJKloop]

@Bassbait i hear what your saying, but reputation is another factor. when it is built upon, it gives rise to the premise that every film he made was brilliant(and i dont doubt that) but take one of his films now with no reputation, would it still make the same impact ? buster douglas knocking out tyson early in his career would not have had the same effect as it did later on in his career. not beefing with you at all, just another view point :)

[oneisi]

where can I purchase one of those chips?

[LordApocalypse7]

Those of you who still say that our future technologies are impossible should seriously do some research before talking.

[blastyblasty]

@LordApocalypse7

Lol i completely agree. I'm an inventory, I"ve spent my life making things that people thought were impossible. Naysayers pay my bills lol. If everyone believed in the impossible, I wouldn't have a job...

[sidewaysfcs0718]

time travel is impossible ..

but thats just cus people missuse the term

the correct term is interdimensional travel ..thats whats really going on , since u cant change your past..

[2CSST2]

@sidewaysfcs0718 Well future time travel at least is theoritically possible, if you travel near enough to speed light, you can travel to the universe billions of years older, without using interdimensional travel, you stay in your own universe, its own future. Also, you could think of traveling in your own past by traveling interdimensionally to a parallel universe, then back again in your own universe/timespan but in the past

[sidewaysfcs0718]

@2CSST2

that more like "fast forwarding " the universe ....ur just changing ur rate of time by changing your speed ....but actualy time travel would imply u could move throo space and time in both directions ...past and future ...but that is kinda impossible ...interdimensional travel is much more likely.

[2CSST2]

@sidewaysfcs0718 Ok you can choose to change the words if you want. You try to play with the words to make it sound as if time travel is impossible. But there's nothing more possible than that: "Time travel" It says, we're doing it right now as time passes by. There's nothing in the words "time travel" that implies moving through space or that obliges you to travel backwards. It is possible and more easy than interdimensional travel, way more easy

[bofocub]

they have done it.

[gespilk]

He has a much distorted understanding of nanotechnology. Just ask yourself what is the smallest possible engine to build even theoretically.

In biological systems it is called "myosin II structure". Can we build something artificial at that level? How about creating goal driven self replicating structures scaled to cellular level? It is Impossible. Nature already invented what was possible in our universe at that level - organic chemistry.

[believerornot]

@gespilk

Don't talk out of your ass. They are already using nano tech to build materials at the molecular level as well as molecular machines to clean blood vessels of cholesterol. There are many more but I can't list them here.

Organic structures are limited in development by no intelligence and only the evolutionary process as a designer.

[gespilk]

The most complex molecular machines are found within cells. These include motor proteins, such as myosin, which is responsible for muscle contraction, kinesin, which moves cargo inside cells away from the nucleus along microtubules, and dynein, which produces the axonemal beating of cilia and flagella. These proteins and their nanoscale dynamics are far more complex than any molecular machines that have yet been artificially constructed.

[believerornot]

@gespilk and you know this because?

Even if what you are saying is true (and I am not saying it is) it certainly wont be true for much longer.

20 years ago did you even imagine computers would be used to run pretty much everything now? Did you ever foresee the internet?

Did you ever think that you would have more computing power in your wrist watch than NASA had in their entire arsenal 20 years back?

I think you are limited by your lack of imagination-

[sidewaysfcs0718]

no but somethings are limited to the laws of physics ..

things like travelling throo a wormhole in order to travel throo dimension ...or the common term "time" travel ...althow ur not travelling "throo" time ..u cant change your own past , u can change an alternate future's past and basicly create a new alternate universe...

but in order to travel throo a wormhole u need "negative" energy or negative matter ...wich u would never be able to manipulate....

[believerornot]

That time travel statement assumes that there is such a thing possible as an alternate future.Since this has never been proven in any way other than by mathamatics it falls in to the same area as other dimensions. Nothing more than mathematical speculation. Its possible neither of these things could exist.

[alookoutiger]

@believerornot There is no such thing as mathematical speculation. Time travel is a fact. Particles have disappeared and reappeared proving that other dimensions do exist. These things have already been tested. The technology will be refined.

[believerornot]

@alookoutiger

Maybe I used the wrong word when I said speculation. But it does not necessarily follow that because you can prove something with math that it is a reality. For ultimate proof we really need observation. Observing particles disappear and reappear is simply an observation that they disappear and reappear, It is not proof of time travel.

[TheKneekap]

@believerornot time travel is real in every day life, speed effects time. no matter how much or how little

[alookoutiger]

@TheKneekap That is a fact. Speed does effect time. If my wrist watch reads 8:49AM and yours reads 8:50AM (in a controlled setting) does that not mean I traveled to the future? The faster I travel, the slower time moves in my space. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

[TheKneekap]

@alookoutiger no your correct, either that or its a shoddy time piece lol

[believerornot]

@TheKneekap

okay we should say none localized, multi directional time travel. Since we can speed up and slow time time using speed and gravity, but can only move forward. Also our experience of time is local. No matter how much time is sped up or slowed down our experience of time is always the same. we need to find a way to experience time as a none local phenomena to actually travel in time as the time traveler does in the famous story by H.G.Wells.

[TheKneekap]

@believerornot you just blew my mind lol

[believerornot]

@TheKneekap

I surprised my self with that observation since it just came to me as I read what I was replying to. I really do think that is the key. None localized time distortion. I wonder if it is possible?

[TheKneekap]

@believerornot im not sure, because youd haveto have a 3rd party object creating the "time travel" aspect of it, and somehow you'd haveto harness its effect.

[alookoutiger]

@believerornot I am far from being knowledgeable in this area but I would like an explanation to what happens when particles are "sped up" or "vibrated" (in a lab setting) to the point where they disappear and reappear. Where do they go? Could it be another dimension? I believe this theory is called string theory. It is not a fact...yet. Maybe, one day someone will travel into the future and find the proof.lol. If that day ever comes could you imagine the implications?

[believerornot]

@alookoutiger 'M' Theory does provide excellent explanations for pretty much everything in the universe. It provides a complete unified theory that is mathematically faultless. This alone means it is the most likely explanation of everything. However we really do have to wait for observable proofs before we can say for certain. The Cern search for the Higgs boson is one step toward this.

However it would be interesting if it were actually wrong.

[sidewaysfcs0718]

not to be confused with anti matter wich we use all the time.

[sidewaysfcs0718]

we could replicate this in the future when its gonna be much cheaper to build something like that ..

actually i think the most complex mechanism is DNA itself...its a big ass molecule

imagining making a mechanism from just a few atoms ...like 20-50 atoms that make a small engine

[gespilk]

To breach the gap between brain and computer we need to be able to create wires and needles with a thickness of a few atoms. Most important though would be the ability to position them with such accuracy in the brain.

If we attach a wire to each cell in the brain it would double its volume and it may change the way it works (transmits signals).

Impossible.

[TuanVuong00]

ASU as i am watching this great lecture, there are thousands of question mark popped in my mind. One of the question is that If we are able to make the time machine and traveled back in time..."into a parallel universe" and change an event in that universe to make an impact to the future of that universe. Since it's a parallel universe its should mimic everything that we do in this universe than everything that happened in the parallel universe shouldn't it be the same impact in our universe?

[00Avenger17]

Physics =D i love it. amazing =P

[jawazitaly1991]

Kaku = beyond sci-fi logic O.O he thinks literally outside of the box...

[Davetacular45]

Doesn't anyone literally think outside the box?

Unless they are inside a box, I guess :P

[zencat999]

@jawazitaly1991 real science should know no "box" or "envelope".

there is only logic and empirical fact.

every logical quest has an answer,

every answer leads to more questions.

perpetual learning.

[jawazitaly1991]

@zencat999 By box i meant the mind that we have, his outside that box that we can not see ^ ^ and there is an answer for why his outside the box, a genius.

[Xxd3cayxX]

"Microsoft works!" LOL....hahahahahahah

[Omahazu]

Ghost in the Shell in the making. WOW

[cassandra5322]

OH GOD KAKU IS SO FUNNY

[achievist]

"Airline Food" is another contradiction in terms, if you ask me.

[Ohnoezhumenz]

I heard about Dr. Michio Kaku a few years ago, and I have been hooked to his knowledge and expertise ever since.

[egoraptor]

was that a subtle Terminator reference? "Your brain is a neural network, a learning machine."

[tohidefromourways]

@egoraptor sadly the human mind is limited and finite due to its inability to gain a larger size (meditation does increase gray matter and brain functionality, but to what degree is debatable) and our life expectancies.

[RayPinpillage]

He's killing!! I love Dr. Kaku. Been a fan since the 90's.

[Lingerfoot]

Michio Kaku is a modern Albert Einstein. He is awesome!

[Teo317]

Yeah he is very inspiring, makes me wish I took the same path. So i roll a joint and im right there with him :)

[ventuinha]

@Teo317 completely agree dude xD

[DietC0kehead]

@Teo317 Physics and Marijuana go together like PB&J.

[tohidefromourways]

@Teo317 I love physics and weed. Some of our greatest philosophers and our greatest thinkers smoked weed and sat down and thought and changed the world we live in.

[tksmkwd2]

@Teo317

totally agree, this guy and also Richard Dawkins, incredibly inspiring and really makes ya wonder

[Abspotenexis]

so its like we r gonna be the cold of the galaxy !.. lol

[temporaldisplacement]

I know if I ever have the money available to take a university course it would have to be a joint math & theoretical astrophyics mission. =) joy for science!

[sidewaysfcs0718]

with the modern technology they can implant 2 electrodes in your spine and stimulate your brain so it gives u an orgasm ...or 2 ..or 100 ...regardless if ur male of female ...

so i guess ur wrong ..he can "mentally" jack off to porn ^^

[charlesdryden16]

hhahahahahahaha thats so cool

[JKCWvids]

hes so awesome, more nerd jokes than neil tyson

[spencertron88]

this is incredible, but the moon is still made of cheese.... yum.

[sugarplumapathy]

This guy is so inspiring, makes me wish I took the same path.

[dhom100]

Michio Kaku is one interesting charismatic scientist.

[munoz180]

Vampeee,

Lmao.

[vampeee]

I wanna tie Dr. Kaku in my basement and just ask him questions for many hours.

[TheXeroSkill]

I laughed so hard at your comment.

[TehJakeQ]

(y) TehJakeQ Likes this.

[sushanalone]

@vampeee why in basement!

[Thatsthebadger1]

@vampeee lol, he is a legend

[EverythingiP0dTouch]

@vampeee same here lol

[LEDZEPPEL1N88]

@vampeee LOLLLLLLLLLLL

[liveguns]

they are finding put now that there is in fact water content on/in our moon. there goes the no rust idea.

[liveguns]

or wait... oxygen is needed for erosion, im already confused =[

[Edsan91]

LOL yup I just found about the water thing on the moon too lol about 4 to 5 days ago on nasas website. NOw I was thinking were there is water there is life but I read ur other coment and true oxygen is need for erosion! And there is no atmosphere on the moon so it means no life? But Now Im even more confused water has properties of oxygen XD Its hard and now Im confused too. Also I wodered if we hit the water on the moon with our hands would it float away or stay on the moon.

[RhoadsRIP]

The water would float in the air, because theres not alot of gravity on the moon, but their isn't a absence of gravity either.

[RhoadsRIP]

Wait.....

I want to correct myself.

Yes, it will float, but gradually float upwards into space.

[Edsan91]

Im confused lol So it will not float away but space would be like a vacum then it will float cause space would suck it upwards? Or something like that

[J0RDSKI]

yeh but becauase there is no atmosphere it goes way below zero and water freezes and therefore no rust.

[Zaneus92]

Rust is a type of oxidation. He's assuming that this moon has no atmosphere and therefore no oxygen to rust or erode the probe

[Bozewani]

Sounds like Reading the Mind of Michio Kaku will be the next big book blockbuster.

Who wants to see the movie adaption?

[hubustunk]

his puns.. oh god... his puns...i can't take it!

love his work though.

[tohidefromourways]

@hubustunk ..you're in deep doo-doo..

[niels2029]

the contact lenses with tv is so true...... it can go from nano technology to pico technology..... i had always a dream that while im listening to my mp4 in my phone i can see it in my lenses while im riding the train... and when the train enters the tunnel, my contact lenses glow just like the flat screen tv you see.. aw, oh well technology is fast, its coming...

[niels2029]

cn u make a video of it?

[keroppisam]

heh i like his jokes

[Aoife379]

Microsoft works lol

[lTHRICEl]

What if he gets a blue screen of death? Will he go into shock? lol

[niels2029]

just like in airplanes lol.... HAHHAahha

[breathless46]

Interesting... could be a sci horror in the making...

[xXNuclearWarXx]

Didn't you get the memo? It's made a big resurgence.

[totaldynamix]

I like the bit about 2001 movie. That 10 minutes cut would have make sense to the film.When i first watched it i was totally at loss.

[deathawaitus]

can someone tell me the full name of the movie 2001... is it 2001 a space odyssey (1968)

[oberonfamily]

yes it is

[wrathofgod8668]

Yes by Stanley Kubrick

[deedadee2]

yes

[danielm2222]

Yes
