Big bang Quote by Michio Kaku
“No one knows who wrote the laws of physics or where they come from. Science is based on testable, reproducible evidence, and so far we cannot test the universe before the Big Bang.”
About This Quote
Source Interview: The Future of Humanity, Michio Kaku, 2018
Science relies on observable, repeatable data; we cannot empirically verify conditions before the Big Bang, leaving the origin of physical laws unknown.
In simple terms: Science needs testable evidence; we can’t test pre‑Big Bang.
Accept uncertainty and focus on what can be tested.
