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 CHINA LUNAR MISSION

China has successfully launched its Chang’e-5 space mission, an effort to make China the first nation in more than four decades to bring lunar rock and soil samples back to the Earth. The program’s greater ambitions are to culminate with an international lunar research station and ultimately a human colony on the Moon by the 2030s.

Futurist and theoretical physicist, Dr. Michio Kaku, appeared on FOX Business to share his current thoughts and insights on China’s mission to the Moon, the new arms race here on Earth, and renewed interest in outer space by the private sector. WATCH NOW!

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.

KAKU ON NEW SPACE POLICY DIRECTIVE

In another example of life imitating art, the USA may soon create a real-world variation of STAR TREK‘s Starfleet. Today President Trump signed Space Policy Directive-3, a presidential memorandum aimed at setting national policy on Space Traffic Management (STM) and Space Situational Awareness (SSA). The President’s goal is to expand the national armed forces with a sixth branch of the military, the Space Force. Famed futurist and theoretical physicist, Dr. Michio Kaku, joins Neil Cavuto on FOX Business with more insights. WATCH NOW!

KAKU ON SEARCH FOR EARTHLIKE PLANETS

Just days from launch, NASA‘s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) will embark on a two-year all-sky transit survey of our solar neighborhood and monitor over 200,000 bright stars in search of exoplanets. The endeavor is expected to reveal and identify thousands of previously unknown worlds, some of which may be Earth-like and therefore capable of supporting intelligent life. The ramifications of what we may find are simply staggering and stand to challenge our entire understanding of our place in the universe. CBS News science and futurist contributor, Dr. Michio Kaku joins ‘CBS This Morning: Saturday’ to discuss the TESS mission and other recent findings that seem to suggest we’re not alone. WATCH NOW!
