KAKU ON BLACK HOLE OBSERVATION
For the first time, astronomers have captured an image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, known as Sagittarius A* — the beating heart of our Milky Way galaxy. The discovery was made possible by more than 300 researchers from 80 institutions working with a network of eight different radio telescopes around the globe that make up the Event Horizon Telescope. Physicist/Futurist, Dr. Michio Kaku, author of the bestselling book, THE GOD EQUATION: The Quest for a Theory of Everything appeared on CNN to discuss this fantastic first time direct observation.

KAKU ON BIG THINK 2021
A Theory of Everything, also called The God Equation, would unify all the basic concepts of physics into a single elegant equation. So far science has yet to solve that mystery.
According to Dr. Michio Kaku, co-founder of String Field Theory and one of the most widely recognized scientists in the world today, the most “mathematically consistent” candidate so far is String Theory. In this Big Think Interview, Dr. Kaku explains why. WATCH NOW!
KAKU ON MARS INGENUITY HELICOPTER
NASA made history on April 19, 2021 with the flight of Ingenuity, a small robotic helicopter transported to Mars a month prior. Ingenuity successfully completed the first powered controlled flight using atmospheric lift on another planet.
Physicist/Futurist, Dr. Michio Kaku, author of the new bestselling book, THE GOD EQUATION: The Quest for a Theory of Everything called the successful flight NASA‘s “Wright Brothers Moment on Mars.” He appeared on CNN‘s Early Start to discuss the groundbreaking achievement and its historic significance for human advancement.

KAKU ON WHAT IF: TYPE II CIVILIZATIONS
Will We Become A Type II Civilization?
How cool would it be if we could one day regulate our atmosphere, control the climate and maybe even blast threatening asteroids into stardust? Well, to do those things would require A LOT of energy.
Essentially, we’d have to be able to harness all the power from the Sun. According to the Kardashev scale that ranks planets according to their ability to harness the energy from their star and even their galaxy, that would make Earth a Type II civilization. What does that mean and how far away are we from achieving that level of uber energy capacity? You’ll have to tune in to find out as What If: Discussed welcomes back Dr. Michio Kaku, physicist and science communicator extraordinaire, to help us better understand “What If we became a type II civilization?”
THE PHYSICS OF SCIENCE FICTION
Star Ships. Time Travel. Black holes. Wormholes. Alien civilizations. Hyperspace. Anti-matter drive. Parallel universes.
Physics of Science Fiction (Physics 332) is a new course which Professor Michio Kaku will be teaching this Fall Semester exclusively for students at The City College of New York (CCNY). It applies physics to explain some of most sensational themes found in science fiction.
This exciting new course is taught online by Dr. Kaku, professor of theoretical physics, NY Times best-selling author, TV and radio personality, and co-founder of string field theory. The course uses lectures, slideshows and planetarium shows to explain the cutting edge of science. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU! Sorry, this course is for registered CCNY students only.
Credits: 3; Online lectures held on Tues & Thurs @ 2pm to 3:15 pm, then Dr. Kaku hosts a live online Q&A session via Zoom.
Required reading: Dr. Kaku’s Physics of the Impossible and Hyperspace. One midterm and final.
KAKU ON FIRST BLACK HOLE IMAGE
Researchers at the National Science Foundation used a global network of space telescopes to capture the historic first image of a supermassive black hole and its shadow more than 55 million light-years away from Earth. CBS NEWS science and futurist contributor, Dr. Michio Kaku, joins CBSN to discuss the landmark announcement from a studio in Seattle, where Kaku was visiting for his U.S. book tour to promote the paperback release of his national bestseller, THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY: Our Destiny in the Universe.
