[T]he yeoman's work in any science, and especially physics, is done by the experimentalist, who must keep the theoreticians honest.

More quotes by Michio Kaku
The next big accelerator might be the ILC in Japan, a linear collider which might be able to probe the boundaries of string theory. So we physicists have to learn how to engage the public so that taxpayers money is used to explore the nature of the universe.
Michio Kaku
A human body can think thoughts, play a piano, kill germs, remove toxins, make a baby all at once. Once it's doing that your biological rhythms are actually mirroring the symphony of the universe because you have circadian rhythms, seasonal rhythms, tidal rhythms you know they mirror everything that is happening in the whole universe.
Michio Kaku
What we usually consider as impossible are simply engineering problems... there's no law of physics preventing them.
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
When I get bored, or get stuck on an equation, I like to go ice skating, but it makes you forget your problem. Then you can tackle the problem with a fresh new insight. Einstein liked to play the violin to relax. Every physicist likes to have a past time. Mine is ice skating.
Michio Kaku
Reality has always proved to be much more sophisticated and subtle than any preconceived philosophy.
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
It's pointless to have a nice clean desk, because it means you're not doing anything.
Michio Kaku
Some people seek meaning in life through personal gain, through personal relationship, or through personal experiences. However, it seems to me that being blessed with the intellect to divine the ultimate secrets of nature gives meaning enough to life.

What do oil company executives, vampires and NASA bureaucrats all have in common? They fear solar energy.
Michio Kaku
I am a figure skater, which helps me appreciate Newton's theory of mechanics.
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 most likely possibility, favored by current data, is that the universe will die in Ice, not Fire. However, personally I believe that trillions of years from now, we (if we are still around) will have the technology to leave the universe, perhaps in an interdimensional life boat, and move to a warmer universe.
Michio Kaku
We have the media, which is such a waste in the sense that you can actually feel your IQ get lower as you watch TV.
Michio Kaku
It's very dangerous to put astronauts on a moon base where there's radiation, solar flares and micro meteorites. It'd be much better to put robots on the moon and have them mentally connected to astronauts on the Earth.
Michio Kaku
Scientific revolutions, almost by definition, defy common sense.
Michio Kaku
The best theory comes from string theory, which states that dark matter is nothing but a higher vibration of the string. We are, in some sense, the lowest octave of a vibrating string.
Michio Kaku
The brain weighs only three pounds, yet it is the most complex object in the solar system.
Michio Kaku
I agree, along with Carl Sagan, that we should eventually become a two planet species. Life is too precious to place on a single planet.
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.
