Rebuttal to John Horgan’s Response to my Recent WSJ Opinion Editorial — The ‘God Particle’ and the Origins of the Universe
Last week, The Wall Street Journal published my opinion editorial, “The ‘God Particle’ and the Origins of the Universe - The search for a unifying theory is nowhere near over.” Subscribers to the online edition of the Wall Street Journal are able to read the original editorial by visiting http://on.wsj.com/sO8uwe.
In response to my WSJ op-ed, John Horgan (Science journalist and Director of the Center for Science Writings at Stevens Institute of Technology) posted an article on his Scientific American blog – Cross-Check.
My rebuttal to John Horgan’s Cross-Check blog entry on Scientific American can be found on the Dr. Kaku’s Universe blog on Big Think @ http://bigthink.com/ideas/41681

You’ve Got Michio Kaku - AOL Video
The AOL You’ve Got Series: Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku talks about how science fiction will one day become reality — http://aol.it/rbcFMT (7/6/11)
Rose-Hulman 2011 Commencement Speech
“Boundaries are being broken by technology,” Dr. Michio Kaku told the class of 2011 at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology’s 133rd Commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 28, in the Sports and Recreation Center. Dr. Kaku’s Delta flight from Moscow was cancelled due to mechanical difficulties. By burning the midnight oil, and with the help of the modern technology he loves to promote, Dr. Kaku managed to get this video to Rose-Hulman in time for the 2011 Commencement. Here’s the complete “uncut” version of Dr. Kaku’s 2011 Commencement speech.
Science Friday (Office Hours with Michio Kaku)
Many of us spend more time at our desks than anywhere else. Theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku takes us on a tour of his office, where he writes his bestsellers and records his radio shows. The futuristic 1950s TV show Flash Gordon jump-started his interest in science. Watching it as a kid, Kaku realized that it was the problem-solving scientist, not the chiseled crimefighter Flash, who was really the hero.
