ABC News Interview about the California Missile Mystery (A Missile? A Plane?)
Michio Kaku sits down with ABC News and provides a few explanations into the recent California Missile Mystery. Dr. Kaku leans towards the fact that the plume was most likely caused from an airplane. The recent air scare prompted prompted people to think it was a missile but both the U.S. NAVY and NORAD dismissed the claims of an accidental launch. Shortly after Dr. Kaku’s interview, it was confirmed that the contrail was caused by a passenger jet traveling from LAX to Phoenix.
Which Came First, the Galaxy or the Black Hole?
Every Wednesday Michio Kaku will be answering reader questions about physics and futuristic science on his blog at Big Think. If you have a question for Dr. Kaku, just post it in the comment section on his blog; Dr. Kaku’s Universe and check back on Wednesdays to see if he answers it. Today, Dr. Kaku addresses a question posed by Andy Speight: Are the supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies involved in the formation of those galaxies?

Physics of the Future: How Science will Change Daily Life by 2100 by Michio Kaku – To Be Released on March 22, 2011
Based on interviews with over three hundred of the world’s top scientists, who are already inventing the future in their labs, Kaku—in a lucid and engaging fashion—presents the revolutionary developments in medi cine, computers, quantum physics, and space travel that will forever change our way of life and alter the course of civilization itself.

Dr. Kaku’s astonishing revelations include:
- The Internet will be in your contact lens. It will recog nize people’s faces, display their biographies, and even translate their words into subtitles.
- You will control computers and appliances via tiny sen sors that pick up your brain scans. You will be able to rearrange the shape of objects.
- Sensors in your clothing, bathroom, and appliances will monitor your vitals, and nanobots will scan your DNA and cells for signs of danger, allowing life expectancy to increase dramatically.
- Radically new spaceships, using laser propulsion, may replace the expensive chemical rockets of today. You may be able to take an elevator hundreds of miles into space by simply pushing the “up” button.
Like Physics of the Impossible and Visions before it, Physics of the Future is an exhilarating, wondrous ride through the next one hundred years of breathtaking scientific revolution.
Debut of Season 2 of Sci-Fi Science is September 1st on The Science Channel
I am proud to announce that the second season of “Sci Fi Science: Physics of the Impossible,” debuts next Wednesday, Sept. 1, at 9 pm, on the Science Channel (check your local listings for details). It was a pleasure working for six months with the Science Channel to produce 12 exciting episodes that I am sure will fascinate and educate the audience. Visit the Sci-Fi Science website for more details about airing dates, episodes and even video clips.
Opportunity to have Dr. Kaku answer some of your Science Questions on Camera in a BigThink.com Interview
My new television show “Sci-Fi Science” on The Science Channel is inspired by my book “Physics of the Impossible.” The first season of the show takes viewers through the wildest frontiers of science with a real-world look into the world of phasers, teleportation, light-sabers, invisibility, time travel and more. Filming for the second season is nearing an end, and will be launched on The Science Channel on Sept. 1 at 9 pm. I’ve decided to try something new with my Big Think blog—offering you the opportunity to have me answer some of your questions on camera. The basis of the topics are “shows” from the first season of “Sci-Fi Science.”
All you have to do is post your questions in the comments section on my Big Think Blog (Links Bleow). Some time in the near future, I will choose questions from each topic in the series and answer them on camera in another Big Think interview. The final product will prominently be displayed on my Big Think Blog (Dr. Kaku’s Universe).
Please find the links to the 3-Part series below (each with different topics):
PART 1) Video Blog Series– How to Explore the Universe & Travel to a Parallel Universe
PART 2) Video Blog Series– How to Become a Superhero & How to Build a Sci-Fi Robot
PART 3) Video Blog Series– How to Teleport & Become Invisible
