There are many examples of old, incorrect theories that stubbornly persisted, sustained only by the prestige of foolish but well-connected scientists. .… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
Sometimes the public says, 'What's in it for Numero Uno? Am I going to get better television reception? Am I going to… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
No one knows who wrote the laws of physics or where they come from. Science is based on testable, reproducible evidence, and… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
Until computers and robots make quantum advances, they basically remain adding machines: capable only of doing things in which all the variables… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
To become a theoretical physicist ... you need to have a passionate love affair with the universe. — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
We are not at the end but at the beginning of a new physics. But whatever we find, there will always be… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
“The universe is a symphony of strings. And the "Mind of God," which Einstein wrote eloquently about, is cosmic music resonating throughout… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
In string theory, all particles are vibrations on a tiny rubber band; physics is the harmonies on the string; chemistry is the… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
For bedtime reading, I usually curl up with a good monograph on quantum physics or string theory, my specialty. But since I… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
Think of all the nonsense you had to learn in psychology courses. None of which was testable. None of which was measurable.… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
Years ago, I picked up figure skating. How hard could spins and jumps be, I thought? It's just applied Newtonian physics. After… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
Eternal life does not violate the laws of physics. After all, we only die because of one word: "error." The longer we… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
Math is discovered. To be invented requires an inventor, but math exists outside of humanity. But ultimately, the laws of the universe… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
I vowed to myself that when I grew up and became a theoretical physicist, in addition to doing research, I would write… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
I often think that we are like the carp swimming contentedly in that pond. We live out our lives in our own… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
The Europeans and the Americans are not throwing $10 billion down this gigantic tube for nothing. We're exploring the very forefront of… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
“My fundamental premise about the brain is that its workings—what we sometimes call “mind”—are a consequence of its anatomy and physiology, and nothing more.… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
