The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) just revealed six massive galaxies that scientists previously thought could not exist. These findings have the potential to shatter our scientific understanding of the universe. Physicist/Futurist, Dr. Michio Kaku, author of the bestselling book, THE GOD EQUATION: The Quest for a Theory of Everything appeared on NBC News NOW with Gadi Schwartz to discuss these groundbreaking discoveries plus new scientific revelations here on Earth.

KAKU ON LATEST MEXICO EARTHQUAKE

Webmaster — Wed, 20 Sep 2017 09:02:10 +0000

More than 200 people lost their lives in Mexico City on Tuesday to a magnitude 7.1 earthquake centered in Mexico‘s state of Puebla. It remains to be seen if this seismic activity is related to the magnitude 8.1 quake that struck a nearby region just two weeks prior but most experts agree that a significant aftershock is all but imminent. CBS NEWS science and futurist contributor, Dr. Michio Kaku, spoke to CBSN on how earthquakes work and why this one was so devastating. WATCH NOW!

KAKU ON CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKE STUDY

Webmaster — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 02:37:46 +0000

Is Southern California due for a major, possibly catastrophic, earthquake? Geologists of a new study say a quake of magnitude 7.5 or higher is long overdue to hit the area along the San Andreas Fault north of Los Angeles. CBS News science and futurist contributor Dr. Michio Kaku joins ‘CBS This Morning’ to size up the threat. WATCH NOW!

KAKU ON OKLAHOMA MAN-MADE QUAKES

Webmaster — Mon, 12 Sep 2016 19:49:07 +0000

CBS NEWS science and futurist contributor, Dr. Michio Kaku, joined an all-star panel on CBSN yesterday to discuss the alarming rate of earthquakes rocking the state of Oklahoma. He warned that, if the trend continues as expected, "Oklahoma could go down as the earthquake capital of America." All signs point to the waste water injection activity in the region and especially the escalated volume of waste water involved in the controversial but longstanding practice. Each panelist agreed on the likelihood that the rise in seismic activity is all but certainly man-made. Dr. Kaku warns "When you hamper with Mother Nature, sometimes Mother Nature fights back."

KAKU ON RING OF FIRE EARTHQUAKES

Webmaster — Tue, 19 Apr 2016 01:15:02 +0000

Japan, Ecuador, and the entire west coast of the United States all reside on the same tectonic "Ring of Fire". Both Japan and Ecuador just endured three deadly rapid-succession earthquakes. Is the U.S. next? Understanding how these quake sites are connected offers us a better grasp at predicting future seismic surges. CBS NEWS science and futurist contributor, Dr. Michio Kaku, appeared live on CBSN to talk about these recent seismic events and what we need to be thinking about as this activity inevitably continues, potentially closer to home.

KAKU ON MAN-MADE MIDWEST QUAKES

Webmaster — Tue, 29 Mar 2016 20:25:48 +0000

A new government report shows that seismic activity in parts of the country’s midsection are now as dangerous as in California and Alaska. For the first time ever, government scientists are including man-made quakes on their official earthquake hazard map. Just hours following the release of the report, residents of Crescent, Oklahoma were rattled by a 4.2-magnitude earthquake, perpetuating concerns and raising questions.

CBS News science and futurist contributor Dr. Michio Kaku — also a physics professor at the City University of New York — joins ‘CBS This Morning’ to explain the cause and dangers of these man-made disasters along with solutions for reducing the threat. WATCH NOW!

KAKU ON AFGHAN-PAKISTAN EARTHQUAKE

Webmaster — Wed, 28 Oct 2015 02:51:41 +0000

Over 260 people have reportedly died so far, mostly in Pakistan, because of a magnitude-7.5 earthquake that hit the north-eastern region of Afghanistan. The most severely affected areas are also the most remote, making the communications and recovery effort particularly difficult. Meanwhile, the death toll continues to escalate.

BBC World News America, reporting on the tragic events, invited Dr. Michio Kaku to join their broadcast via satellite to discuss the science underlying this seismic activity and its significance around the globe. WATCH NOW!

KAKU ON ‘THE REALLY BIG ONE’ MEGA-QUAKE

Webmaster — Thu, 16 Jul 2015 21:01:56 +0000

CBS News science and futurist contributor, Dr. Michio Kaku returns to ‘CBS This Morning’ to discuss Kathryn Schulz‘s recent New Yorker article, ‘The Really Big One’ — an examination of the Cascadia subduction zone that predicts a "mega-quake" capable of wiping out a major portion of the Pacific Northwest and potentially triggering the worst natural disaster in North American recorded history.

KAKU ON PACIFIC NORTHWEST MEGA-QUAKE

Webmaster — Thu, 16 Jul 2015 09:48:13 +0000

A recent New Yorker report predicts a so-called "mega-quake," a catastrophic seismic event, likely to destroy a significant part of the Pacific Northwest region of the United States — taking the lives of an estimated 13,000 people along with it. Worse still, the report cites FEMA calculations indicating that such an earthquake would seem to be overdue. Physicist and futurist, Dr. Michio Kaku joins Shepard Smith on FOX NEWS to confirm that the danger is far from overstated. "The Cascadia fault is an earthquake waiting to happen," said Kaku, "We know it’s going to happen with an energy 30 times the maximum energy of the San Andreas fault." WATCH NOW!

KAKU ON SCIENCE OF NEPAL AFTERSHOCK

Webmaster — Wed, 13 May 2015 09:48:28 +0000

What’s the difference between an earthquake and an aftershock? For the people of Nepal, grappling with a 7.3-magintude aftershock of the quake that rocked the region just weeks ago, it hardly matters… or does it?

Dr. Michio Kaku returns to MSNBC appearing on ‘NOW with Alex Wagner‘ to discuss the science of earthquakes, aftershocks, and the relative predictability of major seismic events like the Nepal disaster. WATCH NOW!
