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 PBS NEWSHOUR WEEKEND

Inspired since youth to search for a Theory of Everything, bestselling author and theoretical physicist, Dr. Michio Kaku co-founded String Field Theory, which he believes may be the answer to fully understanding our universe.

Mori Rothman of PBS NewsHour recently interviewed Dr. Kaku to discuss his newest hit book, THE GOD EQUATION: The Quest for a Theory of Everything, and Kaku’s lifelong quest for the ultimate theory of everything. WATCH NOW!

KAKU ON COLBERT: THE GOD EQUATION

Inspired by Albert Einstein at a young age, Michio Kaku has spent most of his life seeking out a universal “Theory of Everything” or so-called “God Equation,” the subject of Kaku‘s latest bestselling book, THE GOD EQUATION: The Quest for a Theory of Everything. Watch Dr. Kaku‘s appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert as he discusses his new book and the big ideas he endeavors to explore. WATCH NOW!

KAKU ON STEPHEN HAWKING DEATH

Famed theoretical physicist and cosmologist, Stephen William Hawking died today. A giant in his field and popular culture, Hawking was among the first to set out a theory of cosmology explained by a union of Einstein‘s General Theory of Relativity and the realm of quantum mechanics. CBS This Morning asked famed physicist and CBS News science and futurist contributor, Dr. Michio Kaku to honor Hawking‘s life and discuss how his work has advanced our understanding of the universe.

KAKU ON NEUTRON STAR GOLD

Astronomers struck gold this week, in more ways than one. For the first time, LIGO scientists have caught two neutron stars in the act of colliding — revealing that these cosmic smashups are the source of heavy elements like gold and platinum. The discovery was made by the same pioneering team that won this year’s Nobel Prize for its discovery of gravitational waves, once theorized and predicted by Albert Einstein. Famed futurist and theoretical physicist, Dr. Michio Kaku, joins Kennedy on FOX Business with more insights. WATCH NOW!

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!
