What we usually consider as impossible are simply engineering problems... there's no law of physics preventing them. — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
[T]he yeoman's work in any science, and especially physics, is done by the experimentalist, who must keep the theoreticians honest. — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
“To understand the precise point when the possible becomes the impossible, you have to appreciate and understand the laws of physics.” — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
Hover boards, unfortunately, currently violate the laws of physics. Supermagnets exist, but they have to be cooled to near absolute zero, 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
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
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
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
Physicists often quote from T. H. White's epic novel The Once and Future King, where a society of ants declares, "Everything not… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
I don't. We've had three technological revolutions that have changed the course of human history, all driven by physics. In the first,… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
We need a theory that goes before the Big Bang, and that's String Theory. String Theory says that perhaps two universes collided… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
What I do for living, working on something called string theory which we think may answer the fundamental question: Are there other… — 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 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
I get paid to do what I love. If you understand physics, the foundation of the atomic theory and relativity, you understand… — 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
I have nothing against investment banking, but it's like massaging money rather than creating money. — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
I am a figure skater, which helps me appreciate Newton's theory of mechanics. — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
If space is a fabric, then of course fabrics can have ripples, which we have now seen directly. But fabrics can also rip. Then… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
The best theory comes from string theory, which states that dark matter is nothing but a higher vibration of the string. We are, in… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
The media, of course, loves to make claims about the fountain of youth. Don't believe it. No one has it. But we're getting close. — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
Consciousness-one level is understanding where we are in space. Consciousness two is where we understand our position in society: who's top dog, who's underdog… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
It would take a civilization far more advanced than ours, unbelievably advanced, to begin to manipulate negative energy to create gateways to the past.… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
A human body can think thoughts, play a piano, kill germs, remove toxins, make a baby all at once. Once it's doing that your… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
“I’m as fond of my body as anyone, but if I can be 200 with a body of silicon, I’ll take it. —DANIEL HILL,… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
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,… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
A related aspect of intelligent consciousness is delay of gratification: the wisdom to accurately predict whether delay rather than acting on impulse will yield… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
