The river of time may fork into rivers, in which case you have a parallel reality and so then you can become a time traveler and not have to worry about causing a time paradox.

I would hope that the publicity around the Higgs boson would increase the public awareness of physics and cosmology.
Michio Kaku
Reality has always proved to be much more sophisticated and subtle than any preconceived philosophy.
Michio Kaku
You cannot create new science unless you realise where the old science leaves off and new science begins, and science fiction forces us to confront this.
Michio Kaku
Futurism today is led by science-fiction writers, by sociologists, by historians. Now, I have nothing against them. I'm sure they do great work. But they're not scientists. They're clueless.
Michio Kaku
I would like to believe that crop circles are evidence of visitation. But there have been too many people who have admitted to creating these crop circles, and too many people who have shown how to make one on TV programs, so I have my doubts.
Michio Kaku
The media, of course, loves to make claims about the fountain of youth. Don't believe it. No one has it. But we're getting close.
Michio Kaku
If you take a look at the most fantastic schemes that are considered impossible: teleportation, warp drive, parallel universes, other dimensions, artificial intelligence, ray guns, you realize that they can be possible if we advance technology a little bit.
Michio Kaku
There is so much noise on the Internet, with would-be prophets daily haranguing their audience and megalomaniacs trying to push bizarre ideas, that eventually people will cherish a new commodity: wisdom.
Michio Kaku
When we're born, we want to know why the stars shine. We want to know why the sun rises.

I used to watch the old 'Flash Gordon' series on TV, and it was thrilling to rocket to the planet Mongo every week. But after a while, I figured out that although Flash got the girl and all the accolades, it was really Dr. Zarkov who made the series work. Without Dr. Zarkov, there could be no Flash Gordon.

The energy necessary to create a wormhole or to wrap time into nuts is incredible. It's not for us. It's maybe for our descendants who have mastered the energy of this technology. So if one day, somebody knocks on your door and claims to be your great great great great granddaughter, don't slam the door.
Michio Kaku
They basically ask their engineers to volunteer some probability figures, then they take the average. This is not science. This is voodoo.
Michio Kaku
I am a figure skater, which helps me appreciate Newton's theory of mechanics.
Michio Kaku
Physicists are made of atoms. A physicist is an attempt by an atom to understand itself.
Michio Kaku
It is often stated that of all the theories proposed in this century, the silliest is quantum theory. In fact, some say that the only thing that quantum theory has going for it is that it is unquestionably correct.
Michio Kaku
No one knows who wrote the laws of physics or where they come from. Science is based on testable, reproducible evidence, and so far we cannot test the universe before the Big Bang.
Michio Kaku
A hydrogen bomb, for me, was puny compared to the Big Bang - the creation of the universe. That's what I really wanted to work on - the nature of the universe itself, and that's what I do for a living.
Michio Kaku
We physicists don't like to admit it, but some of us are closet science fiction fans. We hate to admit it because it sounds undignified. But when we were children, that's when we got interested in science, for a lot of us.
Michio Kaku
I think Newton would be the greatest scientist who ever lived.
Michio Kaku
No matter how beautiful the theory, one irritating fact can dismiss the entire formulism, so it has to be proven.
