No matter how beautiful the theory, one irritating fact can dismiss the entire formulism, so it has to be proven. Michio Kaku

Beautiful Matter Entire Fact How Proven Irritating Dismiss Theory

Some advice: keep the flame of curiosity and wonderment alive, even when studying for boring exams. That is the well from which we scientists draw our nourishment and energy. And also, learn the math. Math is the language of nature, so we have to learn this language. Michio Kaku

When you come up with a theory, you fall in love with the beauty the simplicity and elegance of it. But then you have to get a sheet of paper and pencil and crack out all the details. Hundreds and hundreds of pages. Because you have to prove it. Michio Kaku

Anything that promotes a kernel of science, even though it's exaggerated and hyped by Hollywood, I think is a step forward. We in the ivory tower ultimately have to realize that in some sense we have to sing for our supper. Michio Kaku

The H-1B visa is called the 'genius visa' for a reason. Michio Kaku

Genius Visa Reason

I think the 'Terminator' idea is a reasonable one - that is that one day the Internet becomes self-aware and simply says that humans are in the way. After all, if you meet an ant hill and you're making a 10-lane super highway, you just pave over the ants. It's not that you don't like the ants, it's not that you hate ants; they are just in the way. Michio Kaku

Day You Hate Internet Think Meet Way Says One Day Super Simply Idea Highway Over Like Terminator Hill Becomes Making Ant Ants Just After Pave Reasonable Humans

Global warming is actually a misnomer. It should be global extremes and global swings, because you add - as you add more energy into the atmosphere, it sloshes around. Energy doesn't simply uniformly warm up the planet. And that means droughts in one area, enormous snowstorms in another area, 100-year floods here, 100-year forest fires there. Michio Kaku

You Energy Enormous Add Extremes One Area Atmosphere More Area Fires Simply Droughts Global Global Warming Another Because Around Up Forest Warm Warming Planet Should Means Swings Floods Actually Here

I confess I sometimes sneak a peek at 'The Big Bang Theory.' I chuckle at their antics. But I cringe when they portray physicists as clueless nerds who are doormats when it comes to picking up women. Michio Kaku

Women Sometimes Big Peek Chuckle Cringe Nerds Physicists Picking Big Bang Sneak Up Confess Bang Clueless Theory Who Portray

Years ago, I picked up figure skating. How hard could spins and jumps be, I thought? It's just applied Newtonian physics. After repeatedly falling on my rear end, I realized it was harder than I thought. But it had an upside. That is how I met my wife, who was ice dancing at the Rockefeller Center ice rink. Michio Kaku

Time travel and teleportation will have to wait. It may take centuries to master these technology. But within the coming decades, we will understand dark matter, perhaps test string theory, find planets which can harbor life, and maybe have Brain 2.0, i.e. our consciousness on a disk which will survive even after we die. Michio Kaku

When I was a child, it was cool to be a scientist. Michio Kaku

When you look at the calculation, it's amazing that every time you try to prove or disprove time travel, you've pushed Einstein's theory to the very limits where quantum effects must dominate. That's telling us that you really need a theory of everything to resolve this question. And the only candidate is string theory. Michio Kaku

Time You Travel Amazing Try Every Resolve Every Time Everything String String Theory Telling Must Only Pushed Calculation Look Quantum Limits Prove Question Time Travel Effects Very Dominate Candidate Where Einstein Us Really Theory Disprove Need

I'm a physicist, and we have something called Moore's Law, which says computer power doubles every 18 months. So every Christmas, we more or less assume that our toys and appliances are more or less twice as powerful as the previous Christmas. Michio Kaku

Physics is often stranger than science fiction, and I think science fiction takes its cues from physics: higher dimensions, wormholes, the warping of space and time, stuff like that. Michio Kaku

Time Science Physics Space Think Dimensions Higher Takes Stuff Like Science Fiction Than Often Space And Time Fiction Stranger

I like to engage the public because when I was in high school, I had all these questions about anti-matter, higher dimensions and time travel. Every time I went to the library, every time I asked people these questions, I would get some strange looks. Nobody could answer any of these questions. Michio Kaku

Time Travel Library Strange People School Every Every Time Dimensions High Would Some High School About Could Higher Had Nobody Like Looks Because Answer Questions Time Travel Get Any Public Asked Engage

Now, we used to think the brain was like a computer. But now, we realize that's not true. There's no programming of the brain. There's no Windows. And we think the brain is more like a large corporation. Because think of the unconscious mind. In a corporation, you have subdivisions which operate independently of the main office. Michio Kaku

You Mind Think Programming Corporation Independently Windows More Computer Main Unconscious Unconscious Mind True Like Operate Because Brain Office Which Realize Used Large Now

Our astronauts, when they go orbiting around the earth, they actually come back slightly younger than a twin that they would have on the planet Earth who was stationary. This is called the twin paradox. Michio Kaku

Space Back Our Earth Slightly Astronauts Stationary Paradox Would Come Around Go Than Younger Planet Planet Earth Who Twin Actually

Technologies that may be realized in centuries or millennium include: warp drive, traveling faster than the speed of light, parallel universes; are there other parallel dimensions and parallel realities? Time travel that we mentioned and going to the stars. Michio Kaku
