  • this dick is full of shit they already control the weather we aint stupid just look around

  • this is the science version of chuck norris i guess. :)

  • nooo dont buy or trust the gmo rice its going to make us de-evolute

  • We have a caveman brain with tons of weapons, bombs and rocket ships....yeaaah totally agreed

  • This guy needs to have his own show, he brings science to life.

  • @samysasy419 He have. Sci-fy or sci fact? on science channel

  • Speed up evolutin! we need a higher understanding of the universe so we can move onto type 1 physically and mentally :D

  • I watched this because I saw "Michio Kaku".

  • The Elites already can control WEATHER through HAARP. So media sure do tell great lies. Even the world scientists. How else would they continue to be funded.

  • @thecravenator42069 kung fu = china.... Kaku=japan..

  • my favorite scientist 

  • Wauw, caveman brains with space age weapons, perfect explanation. love michio kaku!

  • It sounds amazing. I've been following up on futurism lately. Also checked out Ray Kurzweil. They both have some cool things to say about the future.

    But, if the world is going the way it is, with the leaders we have, then we're just going to destroy ourselves.

    Man needs to understand that we should stop fighting eachother, for there are bigger things out there.

  • 06:00-7:00 very interesting.

  • everything is super in the future

  • Did anyone else notice at 6:36 the question actually ask how to stop "hurricanes and "tormadoes"?

  • @facebookgamehacks lol na dude just looked like it i thought that at first too

  • @facebookgamehacks those damn killer tormadoes!

  • Michio Kaku lives in a dreamland of his imagination.

  • "A stupid RECARTED coachroach" lol

  • we potentially could have controlled the weather. go look up Nikola Tesla and HAARP

  • caveman brain with rockets.why no atrophy of the brain big question ?

  • "cave man brain with space age weapons"

  • Kung Fu Panda!!!!

  • "We have a cave man brain, with space age weapon". Can't put it in words better.

  • @kkra3 thats George Bush right?

  • I reckon once they get the hang of putting a human like synthetic brain into a robot that they will send it to another habitable planet to begin building stuff for us which will make it far cheaper than sending people to do the labour there.

  • most of the questions are not even questions, such a waste of a chance to ask this man something

  • ahhhh he's so Asian with the thought that everything is conscious to a degree ..he must be a master of hado ^_^

  • i dont get it we humans live for like 100,000 years but why did we get so quik advanced in the last 60 years?

  • @Herdstudio

    It's more like ever since the tyranny of the Catholic Church was stopped and science was allowed to progress. But, if you want the "conspiracy theory" answer: We reverse engineered technology obtained from the Roswell crash in 1947 (roughly 60 years ago.)

  • did he mean around 5:35 that our current computers and technology will go bust in 2020? i'm confused

  • he explains it more in detail here : PW8rgKLPHMg

  • No, they will be fine don't worry! What he is referring to is that we can't keep doubling the power and making our equipment better and better. He is basically theorizing that by 2020 there will be no room to improve because large amounts of data will be lost (do to the ridiculous amount of heat these electronics can generate).

  • @hereandnow6002 think of it this way , the more advanced our computer tech goes , the more heat our computers produce , so far we can cool that heat down (and sometimes its not that easy) , but this micro chip heat is our limitation , can't have computers boiling , and as he said , with the kind of matter we use now with computers , it won't even handle the heat , it'll just melt down.

  • @moyade1 then what's going to happen? are they going to find a replacement?

  • i like the music

  • technoligy is a exelent mearor of human nature,,to day half the world lives on 2 dollers a day, thats 3 billion! of course we have the technology 2 feed everyone, but machines are used to make people discustingly ritch insted, untell this is ballenced out im not a big fan of tek,,,,

  • I respect Dr. Kaku but I believe the human brain can work like a computer. we can make complex calculations. and I think our ancestors emerge out of Africa 200,000 years ago but yeah he's probably right that it hasn't evolved that much since then.

  • If our brain works like a computer, why are we able to make choices that are not logical?

    A computer would never compute 1+1=3, yet, I am able to type that right now

  • computer can be programmed to be illogical too but that makes no sense if we want to make it work for us, not against us. someday there won't be much difference between computer brain and human brain. scary prospect. but people are already working on bio-mechanical techs and implanting chips in humans.

  • what if you type 1.4 + 1.4 into your calculator and then set it to round answer? if a little kid got hands on a calculator that was preset to do this, they would go on thinking 1.4 + 1.4 = 3

  • Stupid retarded cockroach XD

  • Michio has kinda the same hairstyle like Einstein.. And it suits him. Cool

  • I sometimes, wonder how he can sleep at night.

    Its dangerous, for the human brain, to cope

    with all the things, Michio Kaku have done.

    he must have had sleepless nights.

  • I guess he have had some sleepless nights when he really has been into something, but I don`t know ofcourse. And to build an "atom smasher" in the backyard at the age of 17, hmm.. He sure is bright!

  • "Not everything developed trough science is as good as it seems. All is possible but this may lead us to self destruction. So the question is not what science can make for us, but how science can give us a better world" Michio Kaku

  • Michio Kaku is the man!

  • Right! He inspires me to think easier, simpler and brighter, though he is a thousand times smarter than me. :)

  • someone ask what his view is on the hydro particle accelerator??

  • what defies a type 1 civilization? please reply

  • Type 1 civilization can tap all planet's energy sources (geothermal, wind, tidal forces and so on), can control everything what happens and where goes this type of energy (hurricanes, storms, rain, volcanoes)...

  • look up michio kaku 3 types of civilizations

  • I like his take on weather control... I hadn't considered that implication for near-future tech.

    I guess it would be a natural out-growth of Arcologies.

  • Michio Kaku FTW.

  • michio kaku gives hope for converting science fiction into science facts

  • decades later,everything will be different from now..time travel??teleportation??

    I would like to try that out..^^

    if Im still alive..=.=

  • Lol Cave man mind with space age weapons

  • Hell yeah! Rock'n'Roll!

  • its not grogramming to our brain....its adding

  • can't all world leaders get along i mean come on they need to go up

  • go up to a UN meeting and tell them that. I'm sure you'll be very convincing.

  • I love Michio Kaku! ;)

  • Big Dog rules!!

  • we will need a death star for astriod

  • kaku just explains scientific info in lameman terms or just for normal people to understand

  • Vos tu nalgas en salsa

  • Kaku rocks!He brings science to the crowds, thumbs up for that!

  • And the more he brings the science to the crowds, the more that they will want to support it. Michio Kaku is awesome!

  • michio should spread his seamen to thousands of women across the world

  • I really like Michio Kaku, but I'd like to make a correction on what he says about quantum computers. He understates the importance of quantum computing by saying "3x5=15". The computer he referred to used "Shor's Algorithm" to factor the number 15 into its prime factors 3 and 5. It was a huge deal for those studying cryptography, and something that will make current internet security obsolete.

  • He was talking about 7 qubit NMR computer by IBM which executed the shor's algorithm using 10^18 identical molecules each containing 7 atoms that's why he talked about silicon which is too thick. Anyways, they've already use entangled photons for the transmission of financial transctions. But what cut my attention is 10:43 " caveman brain with space age weapons" YOU CAN IMAGINE OUR FUTURE!!

  • a retarded cockroach??

  • dodgy intro music LOL

    Science is only dangerous when politicians get their hands on the technology. As said the military invest TONNES in technology that benefits them. Quite sad that the most innovation comes durning war time or from military funding

  • KaKu FoR #1 PhYsIsT

  • i been part of a type one civilization for a while now i can make my bong cloudy any time i want i control the weather in my bong... A-BURN

  • smoke weed everyday!

  • if your physics teacher is so smart why isnt he doing any interviews...oh i know why, if he thinks outside the box he wont be a physics professor anymore.

  • i'm always on the internet... i think that makes me very... type 1 and futuristic :)

  • There are great problems associated with the concept of AI. First of all, we have to understand real intelligence before mimicking it. As of now, we don't know how human intelligence works or what it is. Thus the AI should rather be called the IAI (Illusional AI) or something to that effect, rather then just AI. . .

    The concept of AI creates an illusion of knowing when we don't really have a clue!

  • can someone explain this "super rice" more to me

  • It's just a term used to describe genetically modified rice that is able to produce a higher yield of edible crop with a lower maintenance in terms of what nutrients it needs in the soil and the content of water it needs to grow and survive.

    Currently crops are just their natural selves, with a lot of junk in their genetic make up that make them less efficient than they have the potential to be, eventually they'll evolve to become stronger and better, but we can now accelerate that process.

  • magnets plus time what does it have to do with time? riddle

  • we need a bender. best robot ever

  • We can jump from Type 0 to Type 3 civilization during our lifetime if we clone 1,000,000,000 Stephen Hawkings and make them continue the quest where our genius scientific ancestors had left behind.

  • LOL so hilarious and so fucking true. Amazing quote

  • LOL

    I agree.

  • agreed lol!

  • well we better start working on building a lot of fucking wheelchairs then

  • Einstein must have been Realy smart loool he knew more then we know now XD

  • If what he is saying is true, then reincarnation is no different than teleportation. With that said, we will be here in 100 years yet as another person. :)

  • Well, reincarnation is the transportation of the "soul" in definition, into a different body, This wouldn't necessarily be the case. But I see where you're going.

  • Maybe you will become an ant, snail or just another human i don't know. My point is you as a person now won't know if the inventions will become a reality, unless it happens anytime soon (not as much as a 100 years). Michio Kaku's theories sounds like wishful thinking. I mentioned his theories to my physics teacher and he started to laugh. Don't get me wrong i'd love to see those inventions take place in reality.

  • i bet ur phy teacher dun even understand quantum phy. Michio Kaku is 1 of the smartest person on Earth. all the things he said he has theories to support them. he is not just talking nonsense. He is also one of the most brilliant physicist on the study of string theory. i bet ur phy dun even know wat string theory is

  • no such thing as a soul

  • We cannot even prove we have one, a more developed brain is no way guarantee for a soul.

    The fiction of the bible and other religious books show no real proof of a soul, only claiming that words are proof enough.

    We humans are not as special as some may think we are.

  • remember that you have no fucking sense

  • Ohh ok so lets say reincarnation exists on animals.. if it so then hell, ur mom could recarnate on chiken and ur son will eat her. u dumb fuk.. Geez man, some ppl just believe in dat crap i prefer just 2 believe a have one and not reincarnate in fukin animals.

  • the whole idea of reincarnation is retarded

    and there doesn't exist such a thing as a soul

    our consciousness is purely biological

    it dies with your body thats it show over

    no sense being a bitch about it

  • Reincarnating into animals is fuckin stupid yeah I agree with that, but Reincarnating into a new human body a few years later isn't stupid, get up to date with the new scientific breakthroughs, some out of it shit alright.

    Peace bro

  • In other words, we live in a transitional universe which changes every moment. We are aliens living a reality that we have been hypnotized to believe since birth. Again, dimensions only exist because we have given them definitions. Time, linear measurement, and philosophy makes the reality that has been created by our ancestors.

  • I'm right next to you but you don't see me, I'm invisible on a quantum scale. If you do see me, then you need psychiatric help.

  • Comment removed

  • Great =] Nice one.

  • I will wait a thousand years but i am sure we human are still grounded to planet earth. But why wait a hundred years when the world are in danger every day of many diffenrent problems?

  • Why is everything 100 years away? Isn't it posible to have a scientific renaissance in which many things are found within 40-50-60 years when I hopefully may still be alive?

  • "Isn't it posible to have a scientific renaissance in which many things are found within 40-50-60 years when I hopefully may still be alive?"

    No. :P

  • LOL

  • We could hit the fast forward button on scientific development but we will never do that living in a monetary system.

    Check out "ZEITGEIST: ADDENDUM" on youtube to see what im talking about.

  • Totally true.

  • cavemen with rocket ships! haha thats great!

  • Caveman brain with spaceage weapons....FTW.

  • Loo Dude soo true!

  • what i would give to walk on mars...

  • I like listening to this guy he brings me much hope for the future....

  • Same here dude. I want to help him create the marvels he talks about before this century is out.

  • he is a pure genius and a dreamer!! keep thinking kaku ;]

    we need mor ppl like these

  • hes really funny too, i took his class last semester And his class was addictive like heroin.

  • i really want 2 meat this guy.. where does he teach??

  • city college ny teaches astronomy but talks about almost every scinece

  • damn i wanna take his class sounds fucking awesome. i could listen to this guy all day

  • yeh me too. where the hell is the university of new york?? i'm from new york i've never heard of that. does he mean nyu?

  • he teaches at the city college of ny

  • oh you're so lucky. That must be amazing.

  • tron??

  • i'm not agree with modificed food, ok maybe there are great reasons for that midificed food, but believe or not. Tomatos whitch are groving in my grandma's garden is way tasty then those who are in market.

    i think lots of peoples even don't cnow how tasty is own tomatos, patatoes without chemicals!

  • i am so confused..

  • there wont be any added chemicals!

    they are changing the (lack of a better word) blueprint of for instance the tomato

  • type I civ = new world order ?

  • We will eventually have a unified government and economic system. No real way around it.

  • unless we kill each other b4 that ;]

  • he said "like they ARE right now", stop being racist

  • I believe you misunderstood me, I was actually against the Iranian Guy saying it. I am not racist at all.

  • Thanks for posting this up.

  • It was great to hear people from every corner of the globe calling in with a curiousity and thirst for knowledge. If only mankind could get all this war out of the way so we can push deeper into space. Maybe al-jeezera should encourage Muslims to defeat terrorism so we all may move forward.

  • As if Muslims are the only religious people that have hindered our scientific development over all these years.

  • no not at all but they are not innocent

  • actually this aljazeera that ur watching is really liberal and totally not like the original arabic version, where they would never bring someone like Kaku but all the discus is how to be a "good muslim" in there own definition and how an islamic state is the right direction for humanity, the people running aljazeera are the worst two faced liars u would ever meet.

  • i wish i could meet michio in person hes my idol...i might not have the academics to be a physicist but i have the imagination, intelect, and brightness it takes....he motivates everytime i hear him...everything he talks about is ABSOLUTLY MIND BOGGLING!!

  • Caveman brain with with dangerous weapons. LMAO! he defined that pretty well, truthfully, and simple. lol

  • G.W Bush?

  • For anyone who still believes time travel is possible, check the link in my profile.

  • Cavemen brains with space age weapons.

    Okay we're all doomed.

  • I always thought so that we're chimps, jusr barely out of the tree, holding guns and missiles.

    And I also completely agree that none of us have sould. That we're all machines really, that grow a conciousness with time. Nature is proof of that, through sheer observation. We're all driven by energy, not souls.

  • stupid retarded cockroach

  • Professor Kaku - A Brilliant Man!

  • I don't think it's possible for Michio Kaku to escape a Star Trek in relation to relativity question in any of his interviews.

  • the simple fact that the immediate question is swayed in a negative glance is an epiphany

  • if you vote for the republicans we will never

    get to a type 1 civilization

  • dr kaku is really brilliant plus he answers questions instantly and with the best explanation possible, also the host is really clever

  • hosts on aljazeera are the best in the news world in both the english and arabic channels...I think it's the best news channel and where does it come from? from the Arabic world!

    Fox News on the other hand......HAHAHA

  • lmao fox news lol

  • Agreed

  • Professor Kaku, you are literally not of this galaxy!! How did you land here????

  • That was so interesting i hope im alive when some of these things happen! Im 15...

  • Riz Khan owns.

  • I love Michio Kaku. He's such a badass! Seriously, I really really hope to meet him 1 day, even if it's very brief. Just to shake his hand would be an honor!

  • Agreed! And unlike so many scientists, he is quite a charismatic speaker. Dr. Kaku + Dr. Stephen Hawking = physics rock stars!

  • "Agreed! And unlike so many scientists, he is quite a charismatic speaker. Dr. Kaku + Dr. Stephen Hawking = physics rock stars!"Don't forget the man who started it all: Carl Sagan.

  • u said it i lov tht line of his "believe it or not" it rox

  • Beam me up Scotty!

  • Very inspiring ...very beautiful. The world can use more brilliant scientist like Michio Kaku.

    Thanks for posting the video!
