If you could meet your grandkids as elderly citizens in the year 2100 … you would view them as being, basically, Greek gods… that's where we're headed.

I am a figure skater, which helps me appreciate Newton's theory of mechanics.
Michio Kaku
By 2100, our destiny is to become like the gods we once worshipped and feared. But our tools will not be magic wands and potions but the science of computers, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and most of all, the quantum theory.
Michio Kaku
There's the caveman in us. The caveman in you says, I want direct contact. I don't want a picture. The caveman in our body says once in a while, we have to go outside. We have to meet real people, talk to real people, and do real things.
Michio Kaku
In general, the larger the breeding population, the slower the rate of evolution.
Michio Kaku
Scientists who have dedicated their lives to building machines that think, feel that it's only a matter of time before some form of consciousness is captured in the laboratory.

Think of all the nonsense you had to learn in psychology courses. None of which was testable. None of which was measurable. We had behaviorism, Freudian psychology, all of these theories that you learn in psychology. Totally untestable. Now, we can test it, because physics allows us to calculate energy flows in the brain.
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
No matter how beautiful the theory, one irritating fact can dismiss the entire formulism, so it has to be proven.
Michio Kaku
Science is the engine of prosperity. All the prosperity we see around us is a byproduct of scientific inventions. And that's not being made clear to young people. If we can't make it clear to young people they're not going to go into science. And science will suffer in the United States.
Michio Kaku
We've done a miserable job of preparing people for today's world, let alone tomorrow's.
Michio Kaku
In the beginning God said, the four-dimensional divergence of an antisymmetric, second rank tensor equals zero, and there was light, and it was good. And on the seventh day he rested.
Michio Kaku
Physicists are made of atoms. A physicist is an attempt by an atom to understand itself.
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
Scientific revolutions, almost by definition, defy common sense.
Michio Kaku
Chemistry is the melodies you can play on vibrating strings.
Michio Kaku
I realized very early in life what my abilities and limitations were, and foreign languages was definitely one of my limitations. With strenuous effort, I just barely passed my French class at Harvard so I could graduate.
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
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
Science is about principles. It's about concepts. It's not about memorizing the parts of a flower. It helps to know some of these things, but if that's all you do that's not science, science is about principles and concepts.
Michio Kaku
Our best shot at finding life in our solar system might be to look at the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Mars, increasingly, looks like a dead planet. But the oceans beneath the ice cover of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn may actually have more liquid water than the oceans of Earth.
