TXOOJVAM PRODUCTIONS TXOOJVAM PRODUCTIONS 1 year ago (edited) Love how Professor Michio Kaku explains extremely hard things in an easy way that normal person would understand. Very excited about human future. A big fan of the professor. "Extinction is the norm" - it reminds us all that we are just a tiny atom in this vast universe and that we all should put aside our differences and learn to love/respect each other like there is no tomorrow. 42 Bassin Laborer660 Bassin Laborer660 2 years ago Brilliant mind. What I like about him is his ability to take complex topics or ideas and simplify them in his explanations. 121 FP LEUNG FP LEUNG 6 months ago (edited) Really appreciate Prof. Michio Kaku that he can happily repeat his stories and interest many times for inspiring people! What an intelligent and humble person!! 4 Павел Ко Павел Ко 2 years ago He is really pretty nice physicist. He can explain complicated theories in very simple words. It is extremly hard skill of scientists. 10 Denis Khakimov Denis Khakimov 2 years ago I adore this guy, his lectures are always mesmerising. 143 sherry monfils sherry monfils 3 months ago I so love listening to him speak, he simplifies so all can understand. Even me, lol. But I love physics, astronomy, etc..and get so excited by what I learn, I have since ignited that eagerness to learn about our universe( & maybe others) to my 10 yr old grandson. 1 Chickee Chickee 2 years ago A brilliant mind with a great sense of humor is such a treat! 122 TUNE PAGE PORTALS TUNE PAGE PORTALS 2 years ago Kaku's thought is on another level. Notice how he never stutters, says "ummm"", "errrr", he has a passion and intelligence which obliterates my mind with awe. To articulate and explore a universe so well, without remorse and make unknowable jokes in between spaces of death at our presumptuous mortal life that is truly beautiful. 12 Allan Delon Granali Allan Delon Granali 10 months ago So much respect from this professor. He lectures mankind to the best yet at simple explanations a human can possibly understand. What a brilliant mind he has. 1 Notya Urbusniess Notya Urbusniess 10 months ago I love this man's wit and his way of making extremely complex and imtimidating ideas very approachable and fascinating. 2 Prudvinath Malepati Prudvinath Malepati 2 years ago There are very few people in the world who can explain a complex concept in a way that can be understood even by a layman. I adore people like Sam Harris, Brian Green for this very reason. I just found Michio Kaku today and became a huge fan. Only complaint is, Google could've hired a better interviewer. 2 Sardarzada Mohammad Yunus Sahir Sardarzada Mohammad Yunus Sahir 5 months ago (edited) Physics is simple...Michio Kaku... He has been proving it since long... 2 Lecturer Lecturer Lecturer Lecturer 2 years ago Always a pleasure to listen to Dr. Kaku. Bright mind with great sense of humor and optimism.... 7 Balazs Krekacs Balazs Krekacs 3 months ago I'm a big fan of him. I like how he can explain complex things. But his optimism that he expects humans to be alive hundreds of years from now shows that physicist and climate researchers don't exchange information too often. I put my money on humanity destroying itself way before stepping to the next level of development. 1 Cameron Whitaker Cameron Whitaker 1 year ago (edited) I always learn very fascinating, astonishing, and futuristic knowledge from Michio Kaku. I love his genius intellect, optimism, and guidance. I really enjoy every book that I've read by him. 2 King EDWARD King EDWARD 1 year ago Most genius don't talk lengthy but love of writes superlengthy. Prof. Michio loves to lecture, writes, and teach. But he is best when he give talks because of his incredible sense of humor in which absent to many scientists. You are very lucky if you love to listen to his talks. It gives your brain cells a real job to do than talking & listening to non sense tv program. 2 Accuser_of_the_Brethren Accuser_of_the_Brethren 9 months ago (edited) Ever since watching him on the History Channel back in the day, whenever I listen to his lectures I'm basically reverted back to a kid sitting indian style on the floor too close to the t.v. having my mind blown 😁 this man is one of the most important scientists who've ever lived but even with that, a brilliant educator and orator. 1 Sardarzada Mohammad Yunus Sahir Sardarzada Mohammad Yunus Sahir 5 months ago " I am a physicist " Michio Kaku We believe it..😻 2 MNP INVEST and ADVISORY CORP, IL MNP INVEST and ADVISORY CORP, IL 2 years ago Thank you Dr Kaku for such great work you contributed to the world. Hope to see more from you. We are all learning from you. 3 Wanyu Nehemiah Ndifon Wanyu Nehemiah Ndifon 5 months ago Michio Kaku is really great at simplifying these things 1 Energy Never Lies Energy Never Lies 1 year ago Professor Kaku, Although I only understand a fifth of what you're saying all the time, I still believe you are among the greatest people mankind has come to know. So allow me to take a shot of Tequila Mescal (worm inside), every time I hear you say "I am a physicist), which I understand, to your good health, wishing you the best of everything. 10 DAVID WEINRICH DAVID WEINRICH 2 years ago Interesting presentation as usual. Two great lotto's that I'm surprised no one has started: 1) name the year (and exact day for tiebreak) that the planet will have its first "Trillionaire"; as ridiculous as it sounds, historical trends indicate that it will happen - and sooner than you think. 2) name the year (and exact day for tiebreak) that humans will land on Mars; the televised and streamed broadcasts will shatter ratings records. 1 Nawttu Nawttu 2 years ago (edited) He certainly has a way of expanding our thinking, like a mental work out! 13 information king information king 1 year ago This guy can change the world. He is my one of the inspiration to become a theoretical physicist. Liz Gichora Liz Gichora 2 years ago Brilliant mind! I enjoy reading your books and remarkable inspirations in bring awareness of future worlds. Thank you very much. 1 Alfred Adrian,Jr. Alfred Adrian,Jr. 2 years ago I don't understand how Michio can remain so positive about the future of mankind given the state of the world and the seemingly high probability that our fate is already sealed. 2 Science Creation Science Creation 2 years ago Michio kaku's explain always amaze me. He is a great science explainer. My favorite science explainer 3 Vsalvato Vsalvato 1 year ago He is a genius, not just an ultra brilliant mind with an uncommon sense of humor!!! 2 Heidi Castro Heidi Castro 2 years ago Me gustaría que sus entrevistas fueran traducidas al español, ya que son muy interesantes Andrew Andrew 1 year ago I loved how Elon answered the case about flying cars." we have to look at the base of the problem and it was people wanted to fly, that's why we have airplanes since flying cars wouldn't be safe for anyone." 1 JGphins JGphins 2 years ago Michio Kaku thank you sir for all your hard work and contributions to man kind. 1 Conversaciones con mi Padre Conversaciones con mi Padre 2 years ago I love brilliant professor Michio Kaku. I wish I had the intelligence to process at least 10% of what he says but I follow him nonetheless. I'd like to be a little less stupid every day. 8 Ahmet Erden Ahmet Erden 2 years ago By looking the questions asked by people, I certainly can say Google has gathered the the most brilliant people around the world. 3 For Goodness Ache For Goodness Ache 2 years ago (edited) Great talk, with lots to thinks about. Especially his assertion right at the end -- i.e., "We're humans, we have a brain... so we control our destiny." This is not at all a given. We've been here a few [tens or hundreds of] thousand(s) of years and already face HUGE obstacles of our own making (in addition to natural disasters/extinction events). Dinosaurs roamed the planet for tens of MILLIONS of years. It's not clear yet that our amazing brain and skills have a great effect on our collective longevity or ability to "control our destiny". 3 Laura Holmes Laura Holmes 2 years ago As for that last question, he had previously said he thinks we would become a type III civilization within 100,000 years or so, meaning we could control galaxies. If that is true would that mean if you wanted to keep earth as a utopian wildlife reserve we could move it into further elliptical from the sun as it expands so the temperature is ideal for earth? Or could possibly having the power of being a type III civilization allow us to control the expansion of the sun and keep it steady to preserve Earth? Amazing conversation. I wish I was there so I could have asked this and hear his opinion. I think just having a conversation with him would be really cool. 2 djalma djalma 1 year ago A única forma de investigar metáforas é tentar conhecer a mente do professor. Qualquer tentativa de compressão dessa teoria por via externa é pela via das linguagens moldável, não é falseável, ao menos da forma como se expõem. De qualquer forma é um sujeito bem interessante e bem humorado, aberto, e cheio de boas histórias. Dave Rdz Dave Rdz 1 year ago 38:55 ... 39 minutes with Dr. Kaku that felt like 5!! I could stay there all day long listening to this wise man!!! 6 Santanu Kumar Acharya Santanu Kumar Acharya 2 years ago Mind boggling and yet mind cuddling too. Three cheers for Pro.Kaku. 18 John Jay John Jay 2 years ago That last question....yes, extinction is the normal. In 5 billion years, we probably will ascertain that our physical self is irrelevant to sustainable life. I wish I could ask him the question of the legitimacy of simulated reality. 11 StaticBlaster StaticBlaster 1 year ago This man has an effervescent personality. He has inspired so many young people to become successful scientists. 2 Aaron Schwarz Aaron Schwarz 2 years ago The distorted audio quality of the talk surprising given the nature of the amazing speaker Michio Kaku & amazing topic Space Astronomy Science & Truth about Reality! 6 Conversaciones con mi Padre Conversaciones con mi Padre 2 years ago I love brilliant professor Michio Kaku. I wish I had the intelligence to process at least 10% of what he says but I follow him nonetheless. I'd like to be a little less stupid every day. Steve Lux Steve Lux 2 years ago A few issues with those "ring" black holes: The gravitational difference between specific locations within a "ring" of a black hole would be so significant anywhere near a black hole that minute locational differences in any axis would gravitationally disassemble just about any material known at the atomic/subatomic level. Secondly, the surface speed to create a black hole "ring" would have to exceed the speed of light for the centripetal force to exceed the gravitational force of a black hole. That kind of breaks the rule about light being the speed limit of our universe. Additionally, how do you spin an extra solar mass to achieve surface speeds to and beyond relativistic speeds? Benny Wally Ghabiliha Benny Wally Ghabiliha 11 months ago Professor Kaku I appreciate your child history testimony to a class of young children is heart melting with tears.....and reminds me in parallel to Christ talking to adult and children when He said " Be like a Child and you will see the Kingdom of God ....that is mind boggling and here you are talking at the level of child....what a great humanbeing that drawing us colser discovering how intelligent and knowledgeable we are. You are giving mankind a great future to discover what God Almighty has created for us human being when Christ was incarnated 2,000 years ago to begin better civilization, and here you are talking what Christ had in mind when He was Born and Died waiting for us to get to explore what God has created us in His image to dwell in eternity in the vastness of the cosmic universe. Love you beloved Big Brother and Professor....God bless you. Benny and Frieda Ghabiliha from Papua NewGuinea. David Ramirez David Ramirez 2 years ago (edited) I read the book hyperspace and a breif history of time. These two book[s] along with my military experience lead me to choose a life of stagnation. I prefer to live stagnant than to give the funders of research the means to destory as one would seek to give. Ill dance instead, and ask the stove top for the secrets of the universe, and die happy knowing them. The Desert Eagle The Desert Eagle 2 years ago great thing about Dr. Kaku is how he conveys such complex concepts like black holes in such a simple format comprehensible to the audience. Love it! 1 Justin Case Justin Case 2 years ago Yes, I'm a physicist and there are no anti-gravitational particles. So what about dark energy, it repels matter accelerating matter at increasing speed, is that not a form of anti-gravitation? 6 प्रियदर्शी प्रियदर्शी 2 years ago Sad to see him get old indeed. He always had a bright, energetic face. Still, Michio is as amazing as ever! Devam Jani Devam Jani 1 year ago Truly genius. Thanks for the amazing talk. Just for fact there's also type 5 and type omega civilization, type 5 will escape to multiverse and harness its energy , if it exists, type omega would literally be the God which would be able to do anything to everything and perhaps create new universes at will. Type omega would know everything that their is to know and as I said above , they will be the Gods. 2 Claudia Pinheiro Claudia Pinheiro 2 years ago (edited) My eternal gratitude to you for all the shared knowledge, all the time you have devoted,that may be that may giv back you in health! Gratitude the immensity of treasures distributed in to us from Planet Earth! gratitude! 1 Aoyama Hizamaru Aoyama Hizamaru 1 year ago What is the mind of God? Wow thanks Michio for answering the question! We appreciate it. 3 A Grill Has No Name A Grill Has No Name 2 years ago Listen to him from 3:25 to 4:06. He is not a scientist, he is a poet, all he's saying is poetry. Elmārs Spalva Elmārs Spalva 2 years ago Mad respect for Dr. Kaku, but if i were taking a shot every time he said "I'm a physicist", by the middle of the video my liver would've already shut down. He's a physicist - i get it, but imagine: "So i'm a dentist, and we dentists believe, that in the next couple generations the wisdom teeth won't be no more" or something 5 Jitesh Gawali Jitesh Gawali 2 years ago Never mind the veracity of his talks, I should add that I as a person who knows only little about Mr Kaku find him so full of ideas and gallant imagination. On the slippery side, however, I find that he has an answer for everything - his anecdote on type 1, 2, and 3 humans is exhilarating as much as it is quixotic - he has guessed we'd be type 3 humans - the most advanced species that has access to the Planck energy and for whom time and space is unstable - in the next 1,00,000 years. How do you reach there - what kind of extrapolation has he applied? In Kaku's own words, "Talk about parametrizing the future." George George George George 11 months ago I'm glad that the presenter has a strap on mic with perfect quality (for all those 20 words she fills in with) while the honourable gentleman who we are all here for has to hold in his hand a cheap knock off mic for the entire 40 minute talk. Well done "talks at Google" - what a remarkable achievement! Good to see that you're putting the hundreds of billions that you syphon out from the global communities to a good use...? Zaibnama /فلکیاتی دُنیا Zaibnama /فلکیاتی دُنیا 1 year ago An excellent talk, love it Jason Reynoso Florentino Jason Reynoso Florentino 2 years ago I like his background. wow an equation to try to understand God's thoughts, I am inspired by this man, like he was inspired by Einstein. 6 pouchesoftheearth pouchesoftheearth 2 years ago I have given this some thought, and I have decided that reality is amplified with regards to the number of interactions and choices each time we shift from one reality to another. But as for physical errors, I am unsure as it seems arbitrary. 1 Daniel Prasetyo Daniel Prasetyo 2 years ago (edited) I wonder if I have a science teacher like him in my elementary school, I will loving physics since then 😂 4 gobanito gobanito 2 years ago I don't agree with Kaku using the analogy of an ant hill when comparing humans to advanced alien civilizations as though that's how they would think of us. An advanced alien civilization would recognize a sentient species like themselves, primitive though we may be in our current stage of development. They would still recognize a species intelligent enough to split the atom and clawing its way to the next level of its development to a type 1. The aliens would probably say to themselves "these humans are not at all unlike our ancestors 100,000 years ago." In fact they could be observing us right now and comparing the rate of our progress to their own. We normally don't think that way about ants, chimpanzees maybe, but not ants. 2 zapfanzapfan zapfanzapfan 2 years ago Fascinating to listen to. We are a young civilization, maybe we can make it. 5 Michael Strong Bow Michael Strong Bow 1 year ago I want to ask him if humanity can almost go extinct and then rebuild back into a class 1 before our sun goes supernova? And has humanity already done this, and how many times? Daniel Duarte Daniel Duarte 2 years ago WOW, Dr Kaku is always amazing. INDIAN JVNK INDIAN JVNK 2 years ago He always claims, he invented a 1 inch long formula, "theory of everything" he bombards the kindergarten students, and innocent interviewers with his story-line... When he was an 8 year old kid..... unfinished Einstein 'S book...etc.. He could have invented a time machine by now if he were so brilliant. Don't know if Nobel Prize is awarded to him? 2 Emzy Willrich Emzy Willrich 1 year ago Dr. Kaku is a national treasure. I've read all his books except the two most recent ones, which I hope to get later this year (I'm saving my stimulus money for now). I met him and he's really a very nice guy. Sudheesh Nambiar Sudheesh Nambiar 1 year ago Ohh man how did I missed this man all of these years... 1 ejr01 ejr01 2 years ago At restaurant: What would you like to drink? Kaku : Now I'm a physicist 51 B G B G 2 years ago Great stuff. Learned a lot! Rishi Kumaran Rishi Kumaran 2 years ago Dr.Kaku ,you're such an inspiration . Please lecture us in Malaysia too if you have the time. Candee Cabezas Candee Cabezas 2 years ago Knowledge is power those who seek knowledge will know there is power and immortality 1 MrAmazed MrAmazed 2 years ago Mesmerizing. I love all the sci-fi ideas this guy discusses Navigator 👽 Navigator 👽 2 years ago That microphone is older than most black holes. C'mon, Google... seriously? 159 Chinmay Surolia Chinmay Surolia 2 years ago Professor Kaku nobody doubts that you are a "physicist" and a brilliant one at that, you can do without that phrase. 3 Juvy Smith Juvy Smith 1 year ago Hello professor, forgive me for asking. Because you said that you're to the moon and people could live there and also to Mars. I am always looking up to the Sky imagining that the heaven is somewhere there in that Horizon. Now I am thinking that there is no heaven after all. Thank you for sharing your are brilliant. You explained it very precisely. You have excellent talent. I wish I could go to the moon too. XXXX lovely magus cristi magus cristi 2 years ago I really actually love professor Kaku so don't take me as a hater please. I do however love to stir the pot to see what rises to the surface. Keep up the wonderful work Professor. Chris Johnson Chris Johnson 2 years ago Michio is on point all the time :) Alpha Delta Alpha Delta 2 years ago I could listen to him talk for hours. "Each sub-atomic particle is a note on a vibrating string... Physics is the harmonies we can write on vibrating strings... Chemistry is the melodies we can play on vibrating strings.... the Universe is symphony of strings... the mind of God is cosmic music resonating through 11 dimensional hyperspace" 1 Gilbert ENGLER Gilbert ENGLER 1 year ago (edited) When you use the hydrogen as fuel present in space, do you still have to bring oxygen? If yes, still difficult. 1 Manner Adh Manner Adh 2 years ago Google must have invented the time machine and brought back the mic from 1960’. Cool 46 null MI. null null MI. null 2 years ago OMG. This guy assembled a particle accelerator in high school. Thanks Google for making it possible to watch this video. Steven Newlon Steven Newlon 2 years ago Multi-billion dollar company can't afford a $200 microphone? 710 rd264 rd264 11 months ago (edited) Michio is unjustifiably sanguine about AI. Its going to advance faster than he thinks and it will be difficult to reign in, and could take over the World. AI could be self aware in a few decades and the risk is it may kick ass before a chip can be installed to 'govern' them... Cookie Cookie 1 year ago Just love Prof. Kaku...💚 The Foolish Scholar The Foolish Scholar 2 years ago "I'm a physicist." - Michio Kaku, 2019 158 Gamer4Lyfez Gamer4Lyfez 2 years ago He REALLY wants us to know he's a physicist 13 Mohammad Alaa Elghamry Mohammad Alaa Elghamry 1 month ago Amazing talk, thank you. yt yt 1 year ago what others worry about: health issues, relationships, workload what i worry about: AI, climate, extinction, aliens, Elon's health 17 KikeFrance KikeFrance 1 year ago Thanks Google for this super interesting talk ! Deborah Meek Deborah Meek 1 year ago I have heard a few back stories about a handful of physicists and they are always interested in doing intelligent science experiments from a young age Christopher Armstrong Christopher Armstrong 1 year ago (edited) 20:30 Quantum computing. 32:07 The internet is 'the first Type 1 telephone system. The first Type 1 technology to fall into the 21st century.' 1 Yehudah Hachassid Yehudah Hachassid 2 years ago Michio kaku is a joy to hear. What I like most is he talks with his audience-an amazing quality of a great scientist and human being.In his book Freedom from the known J.Krishnamurti said,"attention ,which is total awareness,excludes nothing." Thank you for this inspiring video. Kurt Hensch Kurt Hensch 1 month ago Funny, this is from 2019 and talked about "soon we have reusable rockets" well 3 years later we have them thanks to Elon and his group of geniuses Candee Cabezas Candee Cabezas 2 years ago I believe in our universe the most powerful weapon is love, sound waves, magic and mind. 4 The Reggae Ferret The Reggae Ferret 2 years ago I want Kaku and Krauss to have a conversation about the equation of everything 1 Christopher Ramos Christopher Ramos 2 years ago This man is awesome!! IsUnsWayne IsUnsWayne 2 years ago loved it ! answers to so many discussions with my friends :D He does a lot of videos at Big Think bogjhos artinian bogjhos artinian 2 years ago In vertical evolution, each level of matter in the universe must ultimately slave for the next higher level. -Boghos L. Artinian June Bug June Bug 2 years ago Sucks to see him getting old. Great to see older video showing him young. :) zheng ren zheng ren 2 years ago You can just listen to this man all day ~ 4 Muse Axe Backing Tracks Muse Axe Backing Tracks 2 years ago super great talk! I enjoyed it, gives another perspective 1 mends albert mends albert 1 year ago Absolutely no one: Michio kaku every one minute : "I am a physicist" 21 Isaac Berry Isaac Berry 2 years ago Trying To Teach Physics, Here On Earth, Is Like Trying To Feed Oatmeal To A Bowling Ball. Mr. Kaku Does A Great Job. 1 Pat Baptiste Pat Baptiste 10 months ago The future of humanity is directly dependent upon the collective consciousness... Bob Pratt Bob Pratt 10 months ago one day we will be with our creator and all of this may be childs play. learning truth . and eternity of knowledge ever growing the more we learn the more praise he deserves lets give HIM our credit not ourselves pouchesoftheearth pouchesoftheearth 2 years ago Well Moore's law is interesting, because I wonder if the number of errors doubles at a certain point. So what defines an error? Is it therefore physical? Thank you for the talk. Tenzin lekshey Tenzin lekshey 1 year ago (edited) I have a question, if earth revolving around the Sun and the sun is revolving around Black Holes, then what is Black Hole revolving around? Or The Black hole is stationary ? Miqdad Noori Miqdad Noori 2 years ago I think he will become a stand-up comedian as well👍👍 4 ernestmac13 ernestmac13 1 year ago I find that, Michio Kamu stops talking about the universe and starts talking about metephores. What I like about Neil Degrassi Tyson is, he keeps talking about the universe, and use metephores to make that universe easier to understand. MK clouds understanding the way he uses metephores. B C B C 8 months ago Oh boy he made a musical analogy!!! I play stringed instruments 😊 also... a medical doctor discovered that because everything has a particular resonance tumors can be made to resonate and eradicated. sierragreen sierragreen 1 year ago In five billion years the sun will go supernova. It's never too early to start planning. 1 FromTheAshes FromTheAshes 2 years ago Is it just me who thinks Michio Kaku is actually an AI robot who speaks the same content in an identical manner in every talk show or documentary on similar issues? 7 Guns and Lams Guns and Lams 8 months ago
