I've recently been introduced to some of Micho Kaku's videos, and I have to say I have been really impressed with the talks he gives on various topics from physics to religion, and much more.
He talks in a manner that can easily be understood by the average viewer, and does not speak condescendingly towards his audience. Instead, he cracks a lot of jokes, makes it actually interesting to watch. His genius is layered in the topics in which he speaks about, and there are some things I find unsettling about his predictions on the future, but on the whole it is still extremely interesting.
If you watch the Big Bang Theory, and are wondering who came up with String Theory, the developing theory in particle physics that attempts to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity, it *edit* was popularized by him and has injected a lot of credibility on the subject.
I'll be writing more awesome (and more original) posts in the near future, Uni has been busy as hell, but also make sure to check out my other blogs, i'll update as often as I can =)
Very interesting video that talks about type 0 - type 4 civilizations. Very mind-opening topic, part of the 1hr lecture he gave, if you have time, its very interesting, just skip the stupid jokes he makes in the beginning.
Another very interesting video, talks about Aliens, the possiblity of close-encounter, and more
Last video for today, on the future of cars, also very interesting

This is great thanks, and keep up the good work.
Cheers
this guy is a genious i love him
you've got some good insight in this post :)
I like your blend of articles, I'll be checking back soon.
These theories are always amazing to hear, but the amount of chaos that comes with it is ridiculous.
Is he the new Stephen Hawkins? I really enjoyed this. Really puts the Universe into perspective..
Gotta love the far-out deep thinkers
Great post! Following your blog!
Interesting!:)
In my Astronomy classes this guy would be in nearly every documentary we'd watch. Really does a well job of explaining these theories.
This man is the whole reason Discovery Channel makes any money.
That was really thought provoking. I hope I live long enough to see us change to a type 1 civilization and I really hope we succeed.
I've always loved this guy. He does have some very good thoughts. But I swear I thought he was going to say the internet was tubes in the first video. I must be demented.
that's a unique perspective on it!
This guy is great, I have seen him a lot on Discovery.
he's not the one who came up with string theories, he's one of the pioneer of it.
btw, he is also considered as one of the "ROCK STAR OF SCIENCE".
He is like my new hero. Thank you for turning me on to this guy.
Eh, it's pretty good. I'm starting to see this guy as a sell out though.
I've heard about this man. His mouth is full of knowledge, I'm watching these videos, thanks!
Bit of a sellout but good guy anyway :)
seriously love kaku, sagan, etc.
imagine the possibilities if einstein was still alive.
Holy crap, most everything he said went over my head.....
very wise. deserves a second listen
See his stuff on the Science Channel all the time and its always great to watch. Always informative and entertaining, awesome post!

Great update today mate, I've always like his work in the past. It was a nice refresher, and I need something to watch while I'm on the nightshift ;)

Watched all these. Michio Kaku is amazing!
he's a very intelligent man
I like listening to the guy, but I don't like how he speaks about some things with to much certainty. Not very scientific if you ask me.
if he is right and if he can prove the theory...it would be pretty amazing.
Wow, I never heard of him before, but this gives me alot of respect for this man.
Inspirational genious
Very interesting, he has pretty cool theories.!
i can't imagine strings. it's too heavy for my brain
thanks!
this dude rules so hard. I love the clips where they show him ice skating in the city all chill before he explains how black holes can destroy our existence. ha.
Yep, my mind was blown.
Very interesting post
really interesting
smart dude
michio is awesome. i love watching him on science channel
I recognize this guy. I'll get back to these...
Holy crap good sir, I actually learned something and have impressed people today. Thank you

that's very interesting, can't wait till(if) we become type 1 civilization...
