Big Thinkers - Michio Kaku [Thoretical Physicist] (3 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 feel I should point out that there were NO violins in ancient Greece. He meant to say Lyre, I'm sure.

There can never be enough pfloyd.

@tonycatman No. Just Dr. Kaku. I named him specifically because of his numerous contributions to physics. His intelligence is not like even "the most intelligent" person's. Your logic is very narrow my friend. You just proved how close minded you are.

[tonycatman]

@iz2sicc So by your logic, the more intelligent a person is, the more 'right' they are.

Well let us just find out who the most intelligent person in the world is, and ask them about everything we don't know, and the entire rest of the world shall take them at their word.

[iz2sicc]

I wish I could see the world through this man's eyes for just a minute.

[iz2sicc]

@tonycatman Because you are obviously as intelligent as Dr. Kaku.

[tonycatman]

String theory, I'm sorry to say, is cack. It is all just forces and motion.

am i the only one who really loves the tune from about 1 minute to just after the 2 minute mark? wish all physics had this back ground music in it:p

Michio says how he would create a new universe, yes we have trillions of years to find the equation that may or may not be string thoery, but in that time, if we are to create a universe in which THIS race will be able to live then we would have to solve the laws of physics, learn how to create gravity from nothing and learn how to create every force so that its the same as our universe , i might have said something stupid, i dont know , im only fifteen :S

[solomonear]

i solved the equation it is 69.

[mexicanboy92840]

We are a mere speck of sand grain. I feel pathetic just thinking about it. We are missing something big, some big event happened,  i could almost see it, anyone or anything who witnessed it, lived trillions of years ago.

“There is a theory which states that if ever for any reason anyone discovers what exactly the Universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another that states that this has already happened.” -Douglas Adams
