KAKU ON NEWEST GRAVITY WAVES
Early last year, scientists made a breakthrough discovery of gravitational waves in the wild, signaling the dawn of a new subfield of astronomy. This week, separate observatories in Washington, Louisiana, and Italy independently detected and collectively confirmed more gravitational waves in the wild — this time from the collision of two black holes about 2 billion light-years from Earth. Gravity waves pick up cosmic events that are invisible or nearly impossible to measure by any other means. By combining observations of a single event using multiple means, it’s now possible to gain a more complete understanding of the source’s properties than ever before. This method is called multi-messenger astronomy. CBS NEWS science and futurist contributor, Dr. Michio Kaku, joins CBSN to break down what this discovery means for the future of astronomy. WATCH NOW!
KAKU ON HISTORIC SOLAR ECLIPSE
On August 21, 2017, millions of people across the United States will witness a wondrous and historic spectacle — a total eclipse of the Sun. The Moon will completely block the Sun, daytime will become a deep twilight, and the Sun’s corona will shimmer in the dark sky. What makes this cosmic event rarer and more momentous is the eclipse’s "path of totality" which will darken skies along a straight line, spanning the nation from coast to coast. The so-called Great American Total Solar Eclipse will stretch about 70 miles wide from Oregon to South Carolina. Famed futurist and theoretical physicist, Dr. Michio Kaku, joins Kennedy on FOX Business with everything you need to know about the big event. WATCH NOW!
KAKU ON MUSK-ZUCKERBERG AI DEBATE
Does Artificial Intelligence represent a major threat to humankind or a major opportunity? Tesla & SpaceX visionary, Elon Musk believes the time is now to sound the alarms and assemble top thinkers and regulators with the mandate to address and contain the rising threat head-on. In sharp contrast, Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, is bullish on AI and dismissive of alarmists like Musk. So, who has it right? Physicist and Futurist, Dr. Michio Kaku returns to CNN International’s ‘Quest Means Business’ to consider all sides of the debate and contribute his own insights. WATCH NOW!
KAKU ON DISCOVERY OF 7 EXOPLANETS
NASA announced the discovery of seven Earth-sized planets orbiting "TRAPPIST-1," a faint star about 39 light years away in the "Aquarius" constellation. Three of them fall into the habitable or so-called "Goldilocks" zone, considered capable of supporting life as we know it. CBS News science and futurist contributor Dr. Michio Kaku joins ‘CBS This Morning’ to provide insights on this landmark find. WATCH NOW!
KAKU ON HIDDEN FIGURES STEM STARS
"Hidden Figures" is a powerful new feature film that reveals the untold true story of three women of African-American descent who contributed greatly to the USA‘s victory in the space race during the mid-20th century as so-called "human computers" for NASA. The movie, in theaters January 6th, inspired IBM and Vanity Fair Studios to join forces in saluting the new guard of stars in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (collectively known as STEM). As a world renowned popularizer of science and advocate for talent and resources to support and advance STEM fields, Dr. Michio Kaku, was invited to expand on the subject, to put a spotlight on today’s STEM stars, and, as with the film, to inspire future generations to take up STEM studies and contribute to the advancement of humankind.
