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 NASA’S RETURN TO VENUS

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?”
