Michio Kaku ??

[The Starmaker]

Michio Kaku.


Now, I'm a little confused...
about this guy...Michio Kaku.

You've seen him on TV.

Everytime the 'scientific community' yells

"The sky is falling, the sky is falling"
they put this Michio Kaku on the TV news.

He explains why "The sky is falling".

What I'm confused about...


What I'm confused about is...

Who does Michio Kaku represent,
the 'scientific community' or the
'science fiction community'?


The Starmaker



Is he a trekie?


Where can I guy a internet contact lens?

Kaku is a well know homosexual.

Not there's anything wrong with that.

When is there something "wrong"? Would that be if it's not "well known"?

He definitely doesn't represent the science fiction community. But a
lot of real scientists don't think he is a very good representative of
their community either, even if that's where he came from.

I got "Physics of the Future" for Christmas and enjoyed it, although I
found it difficult not to believe that air resistance would block some
of the improvements he suggested were possible in the energy efficiency
of motor cars. However I see from
http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/withouthotair/cA/page_259.shtml that
rolling resistance is very noticeable for cars, and a really big deal
for trains - so I guess he's right and I'm wrong. That might have
something to do with the fact that he's a professor of Theoretical
Physics and writes books about this stuff, and I'm not and don't.

There's also a Wikipedia page on him at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michio_Kaku. I know his personal decisions
aren't a good way to judge his work and his advice, but I can't help but
be impressed that he trained as an infantryman for the Vietnam War -
although it ended before he was deployed.

I doubt if anybody represents the scientific community, but there seems
to be some evidence that he knows what he is talking about.

There is, however, something wrong with your brain, Harlow.

Michiu Kaku was in the US Army
He is also married and has two daughters
He is also highly intelligent, a trait you're obvious unfamiliar with.
He is a professor of Astronomy and studies the functioning of the Universe.
Your dysfunctional Universe is "Here comes Honey Boo Boo"

Because, if you had a brain, you simply could have Googled him:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michio_Kaku

But then your anti-Asian hatred is just as legendary as your
pre-occupation with anything homosexual.

My beef with Kaku is that he's a hucker selling junk science. Look at his
website:

http://mkaku.org/

It's all selling himself and science whoredom. Vanity and kewl pictures
that have shit to do with science. It's all money and vanity.


You can whore-ship him if you want, but the schtick to his act is that
physics is *exciting!* for everyone.

No, it isn't. Most people find physics boring. You end up with a bunch of
physic 101 students who want to skip mechanics and go straight to string
theory. It results in sci.physics being filled with people trying to
refute SR who don't even know what it IS.

He's also a figure skater.

[Paul Cardinale]

He's a media personality who pretends to explain physics. He often
gets it wrong.
He vets his ideas by presenting them to trekies and checking the

You can tell he's a great physicist by his long wild white hair.

Except he's an astronomer, not a physicist.

His last two book have the word "Physics" in the title, not 'Astronomy'.

Physics of the Impossible:

and

Physics of the Future:


and he is listed in wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michio_Kaku
Michio Kaku born January 24, 1947) is an American theoretical physicist, ...

Is Einstein an astronomer, not a physicist?


I don't alow misinformation to be posted in my threads.
My policy in my threads is information must be accurate, correct and true.

(i know it's differcult for the 'scientific communtiy' to be "accurate, correct and true", but you must try harder)

How would you know if you never heard of him? For all I know...

[The Starmaker]

I don't know...but I get a sense that Michio Kaku is a H.G.Wells wanna be.

H.G. Wells was the type of person to search for new products from the science community
around the world and inject it in his books as...coming in the future, predictions.

For example...in his new book: Physics of the Future by Michio Kaku

"He predicts we will solve our energy problems with fusion in the next half century, be able to control objects with our minds,
and grow replacement organs in tissue factories: a person of 70 could have the organs of a 30-year-old. "


Now, I saw on 60 minutes the other week "be able to control objects with our minds".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3a5u6djGnE


So, what Michio Kaku does is what H.G.Wells did...goes around and find upcoming science products and
pretends to predict the future.

Con Artists, the both of them.

But which science does Michio Kaku represent? Science fiction or what the others call "real science"?

I'm confused.


Also, Michio Kaku wrote a book before called:

Parallel Worlds: The Science of Alternative Universes and Our Future in the Cosmos
by Michio Kaku
432pp,


How could he possible write 432 pages of something not proven to exist? Is it a science fiction book??

He's reasonably well known as a writer/presenter of popular science.
Certainly not as well known as Hawking, but perhaps the next tier
down. If he were to turn up as a guest star on The Big Bang Theory,
as Brian Greene did, it wouldn't surprise me.

Marvin--why do you always post misinformation?

Michio Kaku, born January 24, 1947) is an American theoretical
physicist, the Henry Semat Professor of Theoretical Physics in
the City College of New York of City University of New York, a
futurist, and a communicator and popularizer of science.

He's written several high-concept-physics-popularization books, of which I
own two and think I've read both. He's not an Isaac Asimov, but he gets the
job done, mostly.

Correct; he's the 'science-explaining community'. You know, Starmaker's mortal

Now I'm picturing Starmaker off in his underground, basement-level
Lairmaker apartment, fresh with notes from the last time he was in the
bookstore, comparing all the names of the pop science writers and adding
them to the board. ``Charles Seife? Ian Stewart? Write on, young fools
... someday you will be mine'', he cackles, never suspecting just how
much excitement he'd get from that book Marc Levinson wrote about the
history of containerized cargo because it *just ain't pop science*,
danged it. He turns from the board, pours himself half a tumbler of
Mello Yello Zero, and looks at the portrait hung over the awful 1970's
cardboard imitation fireplace meant for Christmas use only, and then
points at it. ``And don't you think,'' he shouts to the image of Forest
Ray Moulton, ``that the icy hand of death has saved you from *my* wrath,
either!''

Emboldened, he sits at the computer to see what Usenet has to
say about him today.

Conscious professors especially, would be hard pressed... would be
last to acknowledge... the thought even exists.

Kaku is a bit too flamboyant and ridiculously chippy, for my taste.
Somehow Michio is always way too familiar with all the absurd ideas
that anybody has ever proposed. It's like his staff is stalking Usenet
like sharks. Which is actually a more scary idea than at first
glance.

It would be funny to see Kaku and Sheldon on TBBT compete on filling
up whiteboards. Media mafia is very incestuous and they know it.

Morgan Freeman, a name Lincoln would've adored, with his dark matter
waving palms, is funny too. All his 321million episodes begin with
"When I was young and or a kid.... Science prepared me to see my hands
waving before me... like this and this and that."

That�s not right, you can also expose them to techniques like
randomised double blind trials that have been invented that

That�s a separate question to what can usefully be taught tho.

Yes, some of the smartest people can actually teach themselves
to read and write, but most benefit from a bit of teaching in those
areas, even if its just being selective about what they are encouraged
to read and pointing out what librarys are about with little kids.

As no one has ever been able to show how any polar bears are being affected

Blast is a failure. At life and as at a lesbian.

Only hot young girls should be lesbians. Blast is one of those old,
flannel shirt wearing, butch lesbians that couldn't find a man who would
do her. So it was either take the cucumber or find another fat slob like

Of course it is. Especially theorectical physics, which BTW Kaku is
supposedly the expert in.
It is all on paper and you don't even get to play with the spinning top.

Yet he goes on TV talking about every other aspect of science, even biology
and global warming, and aliens.
Geeeesus, the guy would be even more lost without a teleprompter than Obama
or Bush.

But with a few degrees, people like Hagar just swallow everything he
parrots.
Even if his degrees have never produced any papers that offer us any
enlightenment to how things actually work.

BUT,....I'm sure he does mark his New York University class papers on time.
And is cheaper to hire than any profs from MIT.

I don't think so. The problem is that through the magic of popular Fizixs
books people have easy access to the buzzwords and the basic ideas, but
they can't do and haven't done the math or studied the physics. They
don't know that SR is completely self consistent - and consistent with
Maxwell's equations and what we know of Electromagnetism.

Some of them key on the fact that Einstein was an outrageous plagiarist
who had a planned Madison Avenue style campaign to sell his ideas and
personality. One book on his life touched on this... Most of what
Einstein "did" was really done by someone else, but the physics of SR is
sound math, valid logic and confirmed by experiment.

See, for example, Rindler's "Essential Relativity". I really liked that
book.

Why would I explain it to you when there are many good books out there?
All you have to do is make an effort and get a REAL physics text instead
of some junk pop-fizix book for kiddies.

IF you don't have the background to read Rindler, then you shouldn't be
posting to these newsgroups.
