Dr. Kaku Interview (Part 1 of 2)

The folks at the Embedded Systems Conference (http://www.embedded.com/sv) sent me to New York to interview their keynote speaker, Dr. Michio Kaku. He's really cool and we spent nearly TWO HOURS talking about all kinds of subjects. The following interview includes my favorite parts. Learn more about Dr. Kaku's work at http://www.mkaku.org

I love his expression in 0:15 when "I want to ask you about your background", It looks like he's thinking "Oh shit!" before regaining composure.

My only issue is that so many scientists and engineers nowadays are pretty statist. They have a delusion the government can solve social and economic problems. I'm also pretty optimistic though, industry is advancing faster than almost any other time in history.

LOL "Its somekthin i have wanted to do for a very long time" *Fires death ray and kills bullies*

[TheUrbanLegacy]

you know a lot of people who work at those places are just trying to help their parents out and help pay for the expensive schooling because they want an education not because they were just jocks just sayinnnn love kaku :)

The Western illusion that our world can be summarized in one equation.

"I tend to think that maybe the rumor got around that I was building a death ray in my mom's garage, so they stayed away from me"

Perfect way of doing that. Jocks try and annoy you, you remind them you built an anti-matter accelerator. Honestly I don't know how you can call that geeky, that's just raw genius.

[RumuhAlg]

@skating1611 because they keep asking him about the same story over and over and over...if the story was different every time...then his lying :)

[Smokemalboro]

The one dislike must be a jock who picked on geeks, and was getting ready for his shift at burger king.

[KrazyKKid]

This interviewer has issues man. Why would you say you go to burger king and laugh at the people who make your hamburger? I know it's true but keep it to yourself, it's a little creepy.

[Draxis32]

Holy shit and we watch some stuff and think its fake.

This guy was dealing with anti-matter at the age of 16, already did built a freaking cyclotron.
