More quotes by Michio Kaku
To a physicist, we have the 'I' word, the I-word is 'impossible.' That's dangerous.
Michio Kaku
What I do for living, working on something called string theory which we think may answer the fundamental question: Are there other universes? Can you go through a black hole? Can you warp the fabric of space and time and meet your mother before you were born? These are all questions that in principle string theory should be able to answer.

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.

Chemistry is the melodies you can play on vibrating strings.

Growing new organs of the body as they wear out, extending the human lifespan? What's not to like? Then in the last phase of this transition people begin to realize, hey, I thought of it already - this is something that everyone can enjoy.
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.

We're in 'Jurassic Park' territory. If we go to the zoo in the future, we'll have zoos for extinct animals.

What do oil company executives, vampires and NASA bureaucrats all have in common? They fear solar energy.
Michio Kaku
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.

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.

However, one new theory says that dark matter may be ordinary matter in a parallel universe. If a galaxy is hovering above in another dimension, we would not be able to see it. It would be invisible, yet we would feel its gravity. Hence, it might explain dark matter.
Michio Kaku
We've done a miserable job of preparing people for today's world, let alone tomorrow's.
Michio Kaku
Physicists are made of atoms. A physicist is an attempt by an atom to understand itself.
Michio Kaku
Even if we mortgage the next 100 years of generations of human beings, we would not have enough energy to build a Death Star.

I would hope that the publicity around the Higgs boson would increase the public awareness of physics and cosmology.

The brain weighs only three pounds, yet it is the most complex object in the solar system.

Common sense has no place in Quantum Mechanics.
Michio Kaku
Combining quantum entanglement with wormholes yields mind boggling results about black holes. But I don't trust them until we have a theory of everything which can combine quantum effects with general relativity. i.e. we need to have a full blown string theory resolve this sticky question.

No one knows when a robot will approach human intelligence, but I suspect it will be late in the 21st century. Will they be dangerous? Possibly. So I suggest we put a chip in their brain to shut them off if they have murderous thoughts.
