- Are there other universes and dimensions? Is time travel possible? Why are we here?
What if there was a single theory that could answer these profound questions? I recently sat down with renowned theoretical physicist Michio Kaku to discuss his new book The God Equation: The Quest for a Theory of Everything.

@Joe Smolin Of course not, you would need a bigger budget to find god!
@Joe Smolin
You think that on 2021 we have the answer to that?
It hasn't been 100 years since Sir Penrose and Stephen Hawking help humanity to move forward. 1965....
Proof comes with time and different perspectives from different generations. Maybe generation alpha will have the answer for you, just let time do it's work.
@Joe Smolin
So you go with Brian Cox way of thinking.
I like him to, but again science is just at the beginning. Science has done a lot but not enough. I bet on different perspectives and especially on different generations to come.
Knowledge is past down and improve.
@Joe Smolin
The universe is nearly 14 billion years old.
Our galaxy is 12 billion years old.
And in 100 Trillion years is expected that the last star will die.
Black holes take over ...
We have time to ask many absurd questions in our very blink of an eye lives.
Come to java michio🙂
Michio kaku is so good at making me feel like I need to be studying physics like my life depends on it
it basically does idiotoid
can´t get enough of Michio, I hope he stays around for another 30 years
Maybe he will. If anyone knows the secrets to longevity.. it is he.
I could listen to Prof Kaku all day and night but never feel bored.
I couldn't.He does rub me the wrong way.Relying a little too much on the unknown.A little less talking and a lot more working from him to actually prove the things he talks about.
that means you have a high tolerance for bs
@@iceman1125 ignorance is bliss I guess
@@pctheophilus for you for sure
@@iceman1125 at least I’m trying to learn and understand something new as opposed to burying your head in the sand like you 😂😂
Kaku's straightforward, positive approach is contagious
That's the problem positivity is not just used in physics but all of it
Dr. Michio Kaku is a gift to mankind. Having read all of his books and watched every lecture and video I have found in which he resides ... this man is one of my heros. Not just intellectually but philosophically, spiritually, ethically.
Thats a fantastic endorsement, aren't we blessed to have access to so many here to help us see with open eyes a magnificent universe, life is sacred, full of opportunities.
Cosmic orchestra sings LOVE song
This man has not written a scientific paper since the late 90's. He is regurgitating what physics and cosmology have found out and he keeps harping on String Theory. Strings have nothing going for them, make no predictions that are testable and workers in the field have a 50 year history of nothing. Kaku is just peddling another book.
Let me tell you a story: When he was young, he asked his mom if he could make an atom smasher in their garage....
@@LS8eighteen Isn’t that supposed to happen? Groundbreaking Discoveries will be less and less, but I get your point. None of this “media stars” will make any discoveries any time soon.
They are doing their part at communicating science though. WE NEED THAT.
Michio is a genius, his explanation and comparisons are exceptional. I like his theories and they make sense
and Robert is an outdated materialistic grandpa lol
@@fritzcervz6945 he certainly is. he thinks brain produces consciousness and he has come to that conclusion due to the fact he is a brain-scientist and was taught the materialist way. Oh how naive he is!
Oh stop being so impressed...🙄 try thinking for yourself...Kaku talks about aliens on the other side of the galaxy as if there was another side of a galaxy ...it’s based on sci-fi and has no basis in reality
@@hauntedhose if you're thinking that the physical world is the reality, then you're scientifically wrong!
@@hauntedhose you deny aliens exist? why would you assume we are the only organisms in this entire universe (s). i think you will find much of what we term "sci-fi" is very possibly reality, or could become reality in the distant future, such as time travel.
Hands down my favourite physicist. Michio is brilliant and always does an incredible job explaining physics in terms almost anyone can understand. He's just fascinating to listen to.
Fantastic interview, Robert!
He is just a good story teller. Where is the mathematics? Since when did he begin to talk about God? In a nitshell, in 1990, Gij,j=0, was published as the equation for GOD ALMIGHTY'S GRAND UNIFIED THEOEM (GAGUT). By Professor Gabriel Audu Oyibo. HE IS UNQUASHABLE in MATHEMATICS.
@@kemettish2500 The average person isn't going to comprehend the mathematics, but is important for physicists to interpret the mathematics and communicate those ideas to the science literate and illiterate.
Holaha Bobby and Jean 👖
@@kemettish2500 bruh if you criticize understand fisrt the theory and present something if you know better. because in the mean time string theory is the more promising than the other theories out there. thats why Michio kaku said if you discover the theory of everything come discuss with me and we will claim the nobel prize together.
Michio is quite impressive in his ability to break down very complex topics. I'm floored by it.
I love Michio Kaku and how he explains complex concepts in simple terms
Gij,j=0 is what you need to get into. Kaku is playing you.
This was a great interview because he forced Kaku to come of script and defend his position. Kaku responded very well.
I agree, I think Robert is awesome.
As a musician I'm very hyped of strings theory.
Haha, yeah.
But dont limit yourself to just Michio Kaku,
as there are many TH-camrs who do different viewpoints on all this.
I mean, take 'Cinema Therapy' for example,
who are Therapists who analyse Movie-Characters! Isnt that a nice
approach? And theres yet totally different Approaches.
Means: People get better and better at entertaining AND educating
at the SAME time.
In 40 yrs. string theory has produced nothing, it is a philosophy:: Sheldon Gloshow, Nobel laureate
Don't get hyped, it's just a fancy mathematical model. Not based on reality, the maths is also flawed as the calculations don't work with real world dimensions. It only works with 10 or 11. It's gone know where for years
An amazing interview with the physicist and futurist Michio Kaku about his new book.
My favorite part is 18-20 min from the beginning where Kaku speaks about God as a composer.
The crazy thing is that in the 21st century the top religions "God" acts just like any common King/Dictator of the past of the present - demanding obedience & loyalty(belief) & rewarding accordingly - all believers get heaven, all unbelievers get hell
Not one educated asks - so these religions were born when Kings/Dictators ruled, is it not clear that they made God using them as Templates?
And saying ALL unbelievers get hell is that not collective condemnation based on belief? Is that not what happened to Jews under the Nazis?
Who they were as people did not matter, what they did in life did not matter - even Einstein, if he had not fled would have ended up in gas chambers!
And this is how "God" operates? Like a Hitler?
Yet amazingly not one educated person can figure this out!
The problem is that there is still no evidence of a composer. The use of that idea is only Katku's reliance on Einstien's idea when we know that Einstein did not actually believe in God. It is a way to communicate to non-physicists using a metaphor. This has been discussed in regard to the title "The God Equation," but believers jump in, of course, and insert a magic cause using this "relaxation" of terms.
@@ramaraksha01 You noticed it. And guess what, I recognized this many years ago. "The God Theory" actually disproves any and all claims and proposals for heaven or hell and a supernatural cause.
@@deaddocreallydeaddoc5244 God is not the problem & Atheists seem too preoccupied with him - it is Heaven
Heaven is the Opium, not religion
Just like scum supporting Putin - not because they like him or admire him, but he GIVES them the good life - a life of pleasure & comfort
And that is what God is all about in certain religions - their ticket to the good life in Heaven - an eternal life of ease & pleasure, that is GIVEN, not EARNED
And we know what supporters of Putin have done to protect him - they have raped, tortured and killed innocent people
and we see religious people have done the same - look at the history of some religions
Guess what? THOSE ARE THE TOP RELIGIONS IN THE 21ST CENTURY! THOSE THAT KILLED & MURDERED THEIR WAY TO THE TOP!
So much for all our education, intelligence, morality and progress!
@Chandala Baba-Mfume what do you do to non-christians? Unbelievers? The same way Jews were set apart based solely on their belief, you too would divide people & dump them into gas chambers in hell!
Old people, children, babies! Pregnant women - ALL so callously condemned!
Willing NAZIS!
You know you've asked a great question when Mr. Kaku says "that's a tough one"
The state of present Physics is described as chaos - facts and mysteries. Credible answers you can find in the book "Theory of Everything in Physics and the Universe.
@@valentinmalinov8424 I appreciate the tip. I have stopped seeking answers. I actually don't want them from any human mind. But I do still seek the right questions. They are rare. I find most scientific and/or philosophical questions are meaningless.
@@justdev8965 Then will be better to study ancient Greeks Phylosophers. They are amazing! A good starting point will be "History of Philosophy" by Hegel. Regards, Val
@@justdev8965 all we have are human minds, we aren't going to get much help from dolphins or elephants...
Not really.
This guy makes my head spin!
And I still return to watch and listen to him... lol
Mr Kaku lives in the Positive Light, however one defines that light. The perspective is so seriously needed in today's world
Always a fan of michio kaku💪🏻
The best scientist of our time
He puts my mind at peace
Simply put, very much enjoyed. I don't think I've seen Dr Michio Kaku challenged with so many fundamental and interesting questions in one interview and I sure did enjoy those answers. Fantastic!
The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one;
Yet the light of the whole life dies

Francis W. Bourdillon : Light.
Beautiful ... thanks for reminding me of that which I had long ago forgotten.
Wow incredibly beautiful, I love that🥰
Bobby Vee? 😊
🥰
All these years later and Michio Kaku still impresses me with his philosophy.
Correct. Philosophy is different from science.
I don't understand how physicists can talk about "everything" when we are only (and vaguely) familiar with only 5% of "everything."
I got you but you can't know that maybe quantum is last door
Studying.
By study.
It's more like 0,05% of the known universe, we are practically blind and deaf knowing how little wavelengths of radiation we cannot see or 20hz-20khz of sound that we can hear. Taking in account our machines we can sense those 0,05% of everything.
Indeed! We can't even imagine all that all is! It's remarkable!
You will see much more, much more than many. You will see worlds that struggle with reality but your conciousness will always be higher
That doesnt even make sense, stop being pretentious. You're not enlightened now just because you watched a science video.
@@fruitunderstander4061 I just had a thought isnt it odd how people can accept people who hear God's voice but deny any visitation? Just the other day Nancy Pelosi looked up to the sky and talked to George Floyd. Is that more down to earth for you? Should she stop? Probably since she Thanked him for his death.
@@fruitunderstander4061 beliefs are like opinions everyone has them. Why should I conform to you? What do you believe? That Aliens swim with fish?
@@fruitunderstander4061 Give up then stop searching live in the reality others tell you is right for you
An Excellent Program , which I like the best . Professor Michio Kaku is my favourite Scientist
Awww...isn’t that cute 🤤
@@hauntedhose But , how ?
Love the longer form content Robert. Your work has recently been found by me and I am so happy to have such a wealth of knowledge to parse through. Keep up the great work
"A theory of everything or a theory of nothing." As a man of Buddhism and Christianity, absolutely on point.
This is the best "Closer To Truth" I've ever seen. so fascinating
It’s nonsense.
@@neildown7231 What nonsense? Your comment?
@@historyguy8353 No kaku. The spazz that uses particles that can’t exist in a three dimensional universe
@@neildown7231 Yeah, he said it must exist in 11 dimensions. Is that crazy?
@@historyguy8353 It’s beyond autism
Thank you Prof. Michio Kaku for sharing with us your seemingly unlimited knowledge of all Sciences and Universe(s). Your prompt and brilliant answers to all questions are impressive. My neurons need an aircooler after this tour de force!
And my neurons had been sloughing off, trying to make sense of the complexity of the universe.
Michio Kaku is exceptional in his efforts to answer questions on theory of everything... and at the same time so humble how little we know. I remember watching one of episodes on How Universe Works explaining the mysteries of Black Holes. When he expressed that the center of black hole had been defined as singularity - which meant quote "We don't have a clue":) What a great Man...
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview! Thanks for bringing to us.
Love the way you host Robert - your presentations are so 'easy to listen to'
Somehow I got a feeling this is the closest to truth interview so far, and it will be remembered for a very loooooooooonooooong time... :-)
Do you know 'Forrest Valkai'?
He is like Michio Kaku,
but as a Bio-Teacher.
He also simplifies stuff and explains stuff.
Not really. When asked to define "everything" he lists gravity, electromagnetism, plus weak and strong nuclear. That's not everything. Clearly.
@@hmq9052 just because you can't see the link doesn't mean it isn't there.
These forces in themselves open up to emergent properties, which is basically all that we feel and see as humans.
I could listen to Professor Michio Kaku, lecture, every day, for the rest of my life.
Of all the guests on
CTT, he is the very best, the most outstanding!
What a brilliant, thought provoking interview with Prof. Kaku.
"Reality exists independent of our wishes" Prof Kaku at his most sublime!
Yes I thought that too we are like trees branching out because life finds a way. The analogy & understanding human ego identity is reflected in his words 😊
Thank you Mr Khun for a remarkably fascinating interview with Professor Michio Kaku .Look forward to the book💫
In the first paragraph Mr Kaku explained the primary forces in such a simple way that I finally grasped it.
I have been watching Closer to Truth for years and have many of Michio Kaku's books. It is wonderful to see the two of them together.
Fantastic,,I love having these physics gods streamed to my mobile phone.
He’s amazing. They both are. This series elucidates the masses,and we’re all better for it.
@MPJR IDMb He probably meant to 'light' or 'enligthen'.
I respect Micho. He prefers to envision many worlds. The truth is consciousness is infinite.
TH-cam at it's best!! Utterly awesome conversation!!
I love this show. Thank you for doing it.
MICHIO!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!
Ur crazy.
Physics and cosmology are so fascinating and being a layman, this was honestly a bit beyond me. I really should dive into this!
Mr Kaku, you've hit the jackpot. Well done. A brilliant explanation of what is already inside every human.
Finally a hint of scientic humility regarding Philosophy, the possibility of God, and the role they have and continue to play in the progression of science.
A ploy for $$$$! No gods exist or needed.
Brilliant interview, so many questions answered that required anecdotes and rigour, beautiful supplied by Dr Kaku
Michio^s mental agility is humanity's hope.
Bro he's like freaking android, his knowledge is crazy.
I really like his connection between Buddhist and Christian philosophy with respect to the data. The world will be a much better place when more people think like Dr. Kaku does.
Everything what human has in his head, all the questions.. they were answered. Unexpected answers at all, but here we go .
THANK YOU ❤️!
Meaning?
@@maync1 I received almost all answers I had in mind, man. Which is awesome
Perhaps an advanced being is our universe's Grand Master. A God-like being struggling with the same mysteries of ALL. If we ever reached its level we'd still have questions...
It very much enjoys our learning experience. Like a parent. 👍👍👍😎
I think so too. Well said.
Life is a virtual mmorpg advanced aliens are either hackers or high level players. Humans are noobs.
I agree. Our first question of God might provoke a response that God was hoping WE'D figure it out...that's why God imbued us with curiosity. And we got nothing?! God may be sorely disappointed.
Very enjoyable and at times what Michio says is poetic and profound and not just answering the questions being asked but answering in a way that makes one see the beauty in the things that make up our universe. I like the question on emergent properties of complex systems that I believe holds true; complex systems may exhibit behavior that cannot be deduced by the components from which it is built. I like the discussion on Maxwells equations and other parts of physics that are at least comprehensible. I like the discussion on just what string theory is trying to achieve. I do appreciate the incredible complexities of such a theory.
Always illuminating Professor Michio Kaku🙏
Ancient Saints have stated the theory of everything: "Self is God; Ego/world is an illusion"
The issue with most of us is that we go round in circles under the influence of Ego. To break this vicious cycle, we have to practice some discipline (like Yoga) to free our mind from this illusion.
The one is the whole
Glad Robert interviewed Michio.
Most enjoyable conversation. Thank you.
Thank you for this
Superb interview, to Robert Kuhn's credit. Professor Kaku was erudite, lucid and more charming than I've ever seen him. And I might add quite the closet politician. His dozen appearances on the history/science channel was like listening to Mr Rogers explaining physics.
What a great interview
Amazing interview!
MICHIO KAKU IS NOT ONLY A SCIENTIST, HE HAS A WAY OF EXPLAINING IT TO PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT SCIENTIST. HES VERY GOOD AT THAT.
Riveting to hear such respected people talking
When I was a child... learning about physics.. Classic!!!
Michio is the people's physicist. He can make ridiculous science understandable to those of us who dont have PhD in physics.
Fr this guy is a android from the future. So much knowledge.
Michio is awesome. Universes popping in and out blew my mind.
It was awesome...Symmetry is all...Thank You!
I love Closer to Truth Channel and Professor Michio Kaku is my favorite scientist - superbrain.
These longer conversations are fantastic. It'd be great to see the raw footage from the old interviews some day :)

Endless conversation of “Energy-Matter-Energy” could be the reality of existence.
That is because everything is energy and matter. Nothing moves, slows down , or stops unless energy is involved. And the definition of energy is the ability to move or transfer matter. Energy and matter have always been, and always will be. Everything is energy and matter.
Great job Prof Michio and thank you Dr. Robert for having him there.
i really love Dr. Michio's enthusiasm.
Woahh new.... episode of ctt chats 👍😎
Only thing I can think of to say is, Thank you !
Ageing is a disease #TreatAgeing
Please spread awareness about this. We need to keep people like Prof. Michio Kaku alive and healthy for as long as we can!
At university, we had a running gag: in at least 3 (maybe 5?) lectures, I saw different approaches motivated from this theory to solve one problem: the Dirichlet problem (with a Laplacian condition). This is what I'm reminded of whenever someone talks about universal equations. Sure: all the solutions agree, however, the derivations and the involved formulae and arguments are very distinct.
suddenly everything makes sense - I am not a total loser - I am just in the wrong universe
If it's any consolation, you are a much worse loser in many many worlds. So am I.
@@marccas10 😁
Nobody loves me in any of them.
@@sirquentincrispy1071 You are loved Mr Crispy I am sure.
See you in the 2035 Conversation as the Host suggested and Kaku agreed.
A living legend
FANTASTIC dialogue. Thank you. 🎉 ☮️🙏
Great show!!
This channel is going to keep me from being mad about little things and big things, in life. I hope you all enjoy what you're experiencing.
Learning about the universe gives much perspective on life on Earth
The chess analogy is great and, really helped me to begin to wrap mind around this subject.
Dr. Michio Kaku genius with the common sense. Your questions were equally interesting.Thank you both for very enjoyable time!
The other day I was in a restaurant with my wife and I saw at the table next to us was a young father with his very young daughter, who was about four years old. And it was very apparent that the little girl could hardly sit still as she was full of energy and life and she wanted to play and have fun. She was putting a tiny effort into eating as she was probably hungry, but her spirit was in a tug of war of sorts with herself between wanting to play and needing to eat. Her loving father understand this dilemma his little daughter was having and he knew that she would get to play later but this time was set aside for eating and fun time would have to wait. But his love for her helped her to do what was needed (eating) so to help her he set up his phone with a child’s movie (Puppy Pals) for her to watch and distract her enough to allow her to eat and at the same time, be entertained. So if you look at the father in this example as God, and as his little daughter as us, the beings inside these human bodies who want to explore and have fun. Then our father put this (movie) the universe, in front of us so that we could be entertained and we are enjoying the movie so much and it seems so real to us but in actuality, is just a movie that we are watching while we eat our food and grow, hopefully to get older and wiser at some time in the future. That’s all that this is. An illusion but a very loving and very entertaining and persistent illusion. And the moral to the story, our whole existence, is simply love. A love which our father gives to us because he loves us and wants us to feel and experience that, while we grow up. That is the theory of everything.
The best channel ever !!
Ya we are all dumb and they do a great job of making you feel so small.
Such an intriguing and intellectual conversation , treat to watch, thank you so much , wish you both a great life ahead as well, great work done by you guys.
Do you know 'Forrest Valkai'?

I'm with you all the way Sir Michio Kaku❤️
This is Excellent!
Wow. Thank you. Being a simple person, words cannot express how refreshing it is to understand everything being said!! It’s difficult trying to expand your mind to technical writing! Thank you gentlemen for sharing your brilliant pondering with the rest of us ❤️❤️❤️❤️
In Indian Vedic verse says, “ If you add anything in universe. it’s is full, and if you takeout anything is still full”
Those who think they can add something are mistaken, and those who think they can taskeout anything are mistaken too. Since you can't add or takeaway anything there is no point. Nothing is full.
I have watched so many videos/interviews/talks of Kaku, the thing I don't like about them is that he repeats the same stories in all of them, it's nice to hear he talks about something new for moments at least in this one.
Amazing conversation
Amazing man, I need to get his new book
He released another?
Don't forget to buy the book "Theory of Everything in Physics and the Universe" then you will be amazed!
The more I watch these videos the further from truth I seem to get. Truth is in the eye of the beholder, and it's merely a semblance.
Great interview
EXACTLY!!! You got it Michio Kaku ive always knew the same thing but was hard to find the rite words to explain
William Lane Craig gives this argument in the following general form:
1. Whatever begins to exist has a cause.
2. The Universe began to exist.
3. Therefore, the Universe has a cause.
Unfortunately, WLC is unable to show that his first premise is true. Even if hec ould, he still has all his work in front of him to show that the cause was intelligent or benign or reasoned or anything really! perhaps the universe is an accidental byproduct of some process unimaginable to us.
@Pisstake My own opinion is that WLC is actually honest, but has managed to convince himself of his own logic! Effectively he reasons God into existence, not convincingly to me of course.
@@MrDorbel What is an example of something beginning to exist without a cause? And what is the probability the universe is the result of chance?
@@moonzestate Everything that we know of appears to have been caused by something that happened previously. The fly in the ointment is the "that we know of" bit. Did the Big Bang have a cause? We don't know, but if it did, we certainly don't know what it was!
To establish the probability of anything you need to have some other examples with which to make a comparison. Unfortunately, we only have one universe to study, so no such comparison is possible, hence your question is meaningless.
Where are you going with this? I don't somehow think that your questions are an attempt to gain knowledge.
@@moonzestate Because there may be, almost certainly are, things of which we have no knowledge and some of them may begin to exist without a cause. God would fit into this category!
If Michio joined hands in a séance session Art Bell's voice would speak right up.
Art would trash his nonsense to all heckfire
@@hauntedhoseyou clearly didnt listen to Art. He worshiped Michio.
Good evening, good morning, all around the world...from the high desert...my first exposure to Michio Kaku was as a guest on ART BELL'S COAST TO COAST.
