Michio Kaku
Michio Kaku is an American theoretical physicist, university teacher, science communicator, and futurist born on January 24, 1947, in San Jose, California.
Kaku attended Ellwood P. Cubberley High School before going on to study at Harvard University and then the University of California, Berkeley. He is a United States citizen who uses both English and Japanese, and his career spans academic teaching, non-fiction writing, popular science authorship, radio, and television. That range of roles places him across the classroom and the broader public sphere simultaneously.
Kaku holds the distinction of Fellow of the American Physical Society. His work connects theoretical physics with science communication, and futurism figures among the roles he occupies alongside his identity as a physicist, writer, and media personality.
Quotes by Michio Kaku
Michio Kaku's insights on:
We are headed toward 'perfect capitalism,' when the laws of supply and demand become exact, because everyone knows everything about a product, service or customer. We will know precisely where the supply curve meets the demand curve, which will make the marketplace vastly more efficient.
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.
Democracies are slow to anger and hesitant to go to war: Voters don't want to sacrifice their children for the glory of a selfish king.
Why commit technological suicide by restricting the flow of talent into the United States?
A lot of the things you see in science fiction revolve around black holes because black holes are strong enough to rip the fabric of space and time.
The quest for a quantum gravity is one of the greatest unsolved problems in all of science.
In the future, the Internet might become a 'brain net' where we send memories, feelings and sensations.
It's inevitable that we'll have some form of designer children, fueled not just by the science but by parents' hard-wired desire to give their children every advantage.
Until computers and robots make quantum advances, they basically remain adding machines: capable only of doing things in which all the variables are controlled and predictable.
I predict that technology will enable people to transmit their neuronal, actual feelings over the Internet.
