Big Thinkers - Michio Kaku [Thoretical Physicist] (2 of 3)

Big Thinkers is a former ZDTV (later TechTV) television program. It featured a half-hour interview with a "big thinker" in science, technology, and other fields. Interviews were filmed in a 16:9 format and intercut with public domain material from the Prelinger Archives. This archival footage (mostly film clips from the 1940's and 50's) was used to create visual metaphors highlighting the speaker's points.

This episode features Michio Kaku. He is a Japanese American theoretical physicist specializing in string field theory, and a futurist. He is a popularizer of science, host of two radio programs and a best-selling author.

I love listening to Richard Dawkins, Michio Kaku, Daniel Dennet, and other scientists. I think the truth of reality is very interesting.

Just to give credit where credits due, paradigm shifts are Kuhn's idea.

Only 10 dimensions? Oh my goodness, if they only knew there were 35... and that's just in this universe, if we count the omega alternative universes extrapolated from the alpha-beta universes directly connected to this universe, the dimensions increase by a power of 5, or 35 raised to the 5th power. The problem is that human machinery can only process 4 complex functions at a time applied to the universe, instead dimensions are calculated by sections, the pre-bronze way of doing things
