Michio Kaku quotes

If you could meet your grandkids as elderly citizens in the year 2100 ... you would view them as being, basically, Greek gods... that's where we're headed. (Michio Kaku)
It is often stated that of all the theories proposed in this century, the silliest is quantum theory. In fact, some say that the only thing that quantum theory has going for it is that it is unquestionably correct. View quote

We actually have a candidate for the mind of God. The mind of God we believe is cosmic music, the music of strings resonating through 11 dimensional hyperspace. That is the mind of God. View quote

The human brain has 100 billion neurons, each neuron connected to 10 thousand other neurons. Sitting on your shoulders is the most complicated object in the known universe. View quote
Michio Kaku
There are many examples of old, incorrect theories that stubbornly persisted, sustained only by the prestige of foolish but well-connected scientists. ... Many of these theories have been killed off only when some decisive experiment exposed their incorrectness... Thus the yeoman work in any science, and especially physics, is done by the experimentalist, who must keep the theoreticians honest. View quote

Killer asteroids are nature's way of asking, 'How's that space program coming along?' View quote
Michio Kaku
Global warming is controversial, of course, but the controversy is mainly over whether human activity is driving it. View quote
Michio Kaku
In string theory, all particles are vibrations on a tiny rubber band; physics is the harmonies on the string; chemistry is the melodies we play on vibrating strings; the universe is a symphony of strings, and the 'Mind of God' is cosmic music resonating in 11-dimensional hyperspace. View quote
Michio Kaku
Some advice: keep the flame of curiosity and wonderment alive, even when studying for boring exams. That is the well from which we scientists draw our nourishment and energy. And also, learn the math. Math is the language of nature, so we have to learn this language. View quote

The job market of the future will consist of those jobs that robots cannot perform. Our blue-collar work is pattern recognition, making sense of what you see. Gardeners will still have jobs because every garden is different. The same goes for construction workers. The losers are white-collar workers, low-level accountants, brokers, and agents. View quote

Physicists are made of atoms. A physicist is an attempt by an atom to understand itself. (Michio Kaku)
There is so much noise on the Internet, with would-be prophets daily haranguing their audience and megalomaniacs trying to push bizarre ideas, that eventually people will cherish a new commodity: wisdom. View quote
Michio Kaku
In some sense, gravity does not exist; what moves the planets and the stars is the distortion of space and time. View quote
Michio Kaku
The brain weighs only three pounds, yet it is the most complex object in the solar system. View quote
Michio Kaku
When Physicists speak of "beauty" in their theories, they really mean that their theory possesses at least two essential features: 1. A unifying symmetry 2. The ability to explain vast amounts of experimental data with the most economical mathematical expressions. View quote
Michio Kaku
Remarkably, only a handful of fundamental physical principles are sufficient to summarize most of modern physics. View quote
Michio Kaku
Maxwell's equations... originally consisted of eight equations. These equations are not "beautiful." They do not possess much symmetry. In their original form, they are ugly.... However, when rewritten using time as the fourth dimension, this rather awkward set of eight equations collapses into a single tensor equation. This is what a physicist calls "beauty," because both criteria are now satisfied. View quote

It is sometimes helpful to differentiate between the God of Miracles and the God of Order. View quote
Michio Kaku
... the "Mind of God," which Einstein wrote eloquently about, is cosmic music resonating throughout hyperspace. View quote

If at first an idea does not sound absurd, then there is no hope for it. -ALBERT EINSTEIN. View quote
Michio Kaku
Mathematics... is the set of all possible self-consistent structures. (Michio Kaku)
For those who believe, no explanation is necessary; for those who do not believe, no explanation will suffice. View quote
Michio Kaku
A force field is basically an invisible shield. You push a button and all of a sudden a bubble forms around you which is impenetrable. It can stop bullets, it can stop ray gun blasts and we realized force fields are actually a little bit difficult to create. View quote
Michio Kaku
Science fiction without the science just becomes, you know, sword and sorcery, basically stories about heroism and not much more. View quote

I have nothing against investment banking, but it's like massaging money rather than creating money. View quote
