I love how people will watch this inspiring video then post on the bottom what they thing they know about Physics. Iv seen some very strange responses below and I find it amusing as I find people arguing on topics that don't exist or mention things that are TOTALY wrong. Keep it up guys:D
For me it is beautiful to find out new stuff. Stuff that nobody has seen before. In my opinion it is boring to see stuff you already know about, over and over again.
Infinite loop{ Var E1 (Contraction)=1; Var E2 (Push)=1; Speed= C; Coordinates: Starts everywhere simultanously; Vectors: Every direction simultanously; };
That assassins creed statement comes to mind... "Nothings real, everything is permitted". I appreciate your well thought out response, I have been putting in a lot of study into this idea lately and think I may have stumbled across something and I would like to write a book about it but I think I should whittle down my focus a little more :) . Such a universal topic would be over 1,000 pgs easily and Idk if I have the attention span for that lol
3:50 "Some people ask me the Question, are you seeing equations behind everything? I must confess I do" I know this feeling. I am a chemist and the firework on new year got pretty boring because i know what is happening...
2/2 But also don't forget that the universe only exists in a concrete form by our perception of it (and this was only discovered in the scientific realm in the 20s - spiritually and philosophically this may be considered an old Eastern idea). So the extent of the deep reality of the universe will continue to be concretised as our ability to perceive it deepens.
Yeah, but we still can't handle how something came from nothing. Nothing can be unstable, but then it is unstable, not nothing. I've tried everything to get around this.
People will see things and fill in things for themselves initially. It happened in history and pre-history that man explained things in the ways they could because they didn't understand much of the world compared to today. As your understanding increases by time by researching and talking with other people you begin to think differently about that what you had seen before. In science, scientists know that what is 'true' today will probably be replaced by a much higher understanding tomorrow.
Like dropping pebbles into a pond dividing a unit of space/ multiplied by one unit of time. The greater the mass/energy density of inward spherical waves generating heat by multiplying electrical potential along cubic dynameters compressing the wave amplitude now+4-0-4+-the shorter the expanding transverse waves dividing gravity from its source. Energy compression pi +1=mass. de-compressing C2 (forming acceleration-G) from zero curvature, wave front by wave front, as time unfolds. E2=mc2c4+p2c2
Hi, I have a theory I'd like to have someone else elaborate on. Sound travels faster when you send it through objects of greater density (I.E sound goes through water faster than through air). A singularity at the center of a black hole, supposedly, has infinite density. Were you to send sound through a singularity, could those sound waves travel at or even beyond the speed of light? Ignore that sound doesn't travel through the vacuum of space, or that testing this on Earth would be a disaster.
the metaphor of music consisting of 10 dimensional hyperspace is weighty - hard to even imagine - but if all is string theory, then music is a perfectly good image. "Music of the Spheres" - by Debussy if I'm not mistaken. Physicists and musicians should try to communicate more.
i am by such people's side. if someone can find another solution, that's ok, even if it is against my faith. everything must be clear, no matter how painful the truth is. i like people like Jordano Bruno with new ideas, what's a problem?! also the people who really can and want to have higher understanding about concrete things, let them search the answers. i think this is very good feature, when people have interests and have questions, need clearer answers and they search them, that's good.
wow, thank you very much. I have a very poor understanding of physics and never realised the difference between a photon and fermion... I didn't even know what a fermion was.
I'm still waiting (hopeing) to see Michio do a cameo on "The Big Bang Theory"! I mean, Steven Hawking was an awesome guest star, but Michio can actually "act" and lend some really awesome charactor/plot development, fun and knowledge to the show!!! *SPOILER ALERT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!* I think Sheldon could use some advice from Michio right now... As they are both theoretical physicists!!!
14:59 did the prof say 'light'? if so, does that mean that everything is fundamentally consisting of light (if we go even beyond quarks?) please can somebody explain?
He was talking about the strings. The strings vibrate at different frequencies, so he said if you could change the frequency, it'd change to photon, gluons, yang mills particles, something like that I think.
I've heard, and only heard (I think it was from Stephen Hawking) that formulas for the conservations of matter allows for matter to be created in only for a very short time only to disappear again. But I don't know the formulas and it's been awhile since I remember hearing it but if does allow for matter to be created and destroyed if only for a brief moment then perhaps the universe is just matter taking turns popping in and then popping off keeping everything the constant yet changing.
I am working toward my degree in Physics. Just because I know how it happens does not mean I cannot have a fun time haha. I actually get more excited, thinking of all the minor interactions happening within the display in the quantum world, it amazes me haha.
How can you explain the existence of gold, diamonds, precious metals ect, if the temperature of the "big bang" was 10^13 last time i checked, which equals to a gigantic number. Anything put under that type of temperature will be destroyed.
Technically, I wouldn't necessarily call the universe objective, because everyone has different perceptions and the universe begins and ends in our own minds.
Actually I think doing that would, rather than convert everyone into a single religion, either do nothing at all or (if we're really lucky) bring everyone out of all religion and into the world of logic and science, and one big step closer to a Type 1 civilization.
I also happen to be a chemist; don't you think millions and billions of atoms reacting with one another with the addition of energy is beautiful in its own right?
Do you know exactly where the expanse of space ends? You will never see it, You will never prove its existence. If not, perhaps there are other things you don't know.
1/2 We have the intellect to understand the universe only to the extent of our intellect! Future generations and species will understand it more, and I don't mean just more detail. I mean completely new concepts and ways of experiencing the universe that we cannot fathom.
Moreover, it is true that some people will choose to be ignorant if it's blissful. But do recognize that there are people who just want a higher understanding before coming to a conclusion. So you might deem your understanding sufficient for a conclusion, but your fellow man may desire a higher understanding or a different perspective before coming to a conclusion and labeling the things he experienced.
I don't think that was actually Michio Kaku getting up out of Bed after sleeping. His Hair is too nice to look like he just woke up. Plus, there is a camera following him.
I'm only 6 years late :) Most of the music in this program is hard to find. 17:51 is the Adagio from Mendelssohn's 10th Sinfonia. The program also has the Andante from Sinfonia 2, and Grave from Sinfonia 9.
My reation to the question of if monkeys an be tought mathimatics is "Its hard enough to teach humans to lean math, its a waste of time to teach monkeys".
does it matter how long it is? E=MC(squared) is a very small equation but is the key to unlocking a clean source of energy (fusion reactors), one of the theories maintaining the big bang, and many more.
I know where you are coming from, but no it wouldn't. Time does not exist in at the singularity in a black hole due to it being the inflection point of space-time. V=ds/dt (velocity equals the derivative of displacement with respect to time). Due to time not existing the inflection point becomes an asymptote in the space-time plane. This is the tricky thing no one knows what happens to particles at the singularity. Who knows they might quantum tunnel through space and become Hawking Radiation:)
I have a question for you. If quantum theory tells us at the most basic level time and space don't actually exist and we build the entire cosmos off of the most basic pieces of the universe, then tell me does time and space actually exist or is it a false dichotomy made by the observer? (us). I believe us to be nothing more than imperfect perceptions of reality as atoms are not solid yet we "feel" solid, and knowing that we know nothing outside of our subjective perception of the moment we're in
From what we know, space is most likely infinite, but we obviously can't be 100% sure. I never said that there weren't things that I didn't know. For instance, what is dark energy? Not knowing things does not somehow make some sort of magical being exist anymore than it makes Zeus exist. To make a statement like "you will never prove its existence" sounds a lot like the people who said we'd never fly or leave orbit.
That is a really interesting question that I am definitely not qualified to answer sufficiently. I thought that at the quantum level, time acts differently (many worlds interpretation), but still exists? This being said, many physicians do seem to think that time is an illusion created by the human brain, but I haven't read up on it too much (just Google "does time exist"). We can be certain that what we see is not true reality, just how our brains interpret the data that reality gives us.
What reason do we have to believe that such a version of nothing can possibly exist? I find the concept rather fascinating, but I'm not sure if it's even logically coherent to talk about such an absolute nothing. I tend to think that "nothing is impossible."
Your ignorance knows no bounds. Just because someones a scientist doesn't mean they're not spiritual or believe there's a god,gods,or goddesses. Some of the top names in science including the great Einstein believed in god. It's what drives them (including me) to want to study the universe and all it's glory no matter what religion you follow. Whether you're a christian or like me a Pagan it doesn't matter. Also who are you to say what god is? For all we know god is the universe...think about it
If there is a man whom decided to be an Atheist because of his learning about universe then he became a theoretical physicist, how could it be? I am still confused about this. Thank you.
I used to dislike the guy for being on a ton of these ridiculous pop science shows that try to tie aliens, the big bang, black holes and everything that sounds somewhat preposterously science fictitious into an hour of chopped up 4 second interview bits with scientists and fancy animations of nebulas. But after seeing this he really seems like a pretty based dude. I like his approach onto finding ultimate meaning in the models he excavates from his reflections rather than investigate phenomena for the fuck of it, i.e. the Richard Dawkins approach.
u said "What reason do we have to believe that such a version of nothing ", are u saying that we should reinvent logic or question it....logic is the only tool we have to reach agreable grounds else, good luck reaching any conclusion
Michio Kaku is a legend.
HE definitely is
They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I said I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard.
Your point being?
Q: What is the difference between physics and theoretical physics?
A: You can touch theoretical physics.
+Alphonsus Tobin Physics is the Nature. Theoretical Physics is how we understand the Nature.
witnessed one of the greatest theoretical physicist who help invent, make and use the internet using windows 7.
im pleased.

isn't it more exiting when you know everything about all that crazy stuff thats going on in there?

His mother was/is great!!!! ;-)
Thanks for clearing that up! Must be pretty great knowing everything.
2:00 Michio: "I wake up in the morning not giving a f***..."
This guy is the best keep up the good work
3:50 "Some people ask me the Question, are you seeing equations behind everything? I must confess I do"
I know this feeling. I am a chemist and the firework on new year got pretty boring because i know what is happening...
michio figure skating was the most epic thing ive ever seen
A theoretical physicist and a professional ice skater! I must meet this man in person!
2/2 But also don't forget that the universe only exists in a concrete form by our perception of it (and this was only discovered in the scientific realm in the 20s - spiritually and philosophically this may be considered an old Eastern idea).

Michio kaku is my favorite physicist.

Love you Michio Kaku, keep making science fun for the stupid people like me!!!!!!

Are you sure the fireworks were boring? I don't find beautiful things boring, when I understand them to a great extend.

an idea is given existance by the mere act of defining it...
ive heard this dam atom smasher he built story millions of times. he says it in every speech he does.
the left hand and right aren't compatible? can anyone explain how :)
the metaphor of music consisting of 10 dimensional hyperspace is weighty - hard to even imagine - but if all is string theory, then music is a perfectly good image. "Music of the Spheres" - by Debussy if I'm not mistaken. Physicists and musicians should try to communicate more.
why aren't these people
famous
+John Borenius some of them are. many of them
i am by such people's side. if someone can find another solution, that's ok, even if it is against my faith. everything must be clear, no matter how painful the truth is. i like people like Jordano Bruno with new ideas, what's a problem?! also the people who really can and want to have higher understanding about concrete things, let them search the answers. i think this is very good feature, when people have interests and have questions, need clearer answers and they search them, that's good.
I remember him saying no then years later he said yes
Bored!? you should find it even more fascinating.
wow, thank you very much. I have a very poor understanding of physics and never realised the difference between a photon and fermion... I didn't even know what a fermion was.
Actually, the latest theories are that the universe is slowing down
As the first guy you talk to in the game Morrowind says: "INT-RESTING."
I'm still waiting (hopeing) to see Michio do a cameo on "The Big Bang Theory"! I mean, Steven Hawking was an awesome guest star, but Michio can actually "act" and lend some really awesome charactor/plot development, fun and knowledge to the show!!! *SPOILER ALERT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!* I think Sheldon could use some advice from Michio right now... As they are both theoretical physicists!!!
here is a question out of curiosity, can Big Thinkers confirm or deny the existence of the Infamous Planet X?
14:59
did the prof say 'light'? if so, does that mean that everything is fundamentally consisting of light (if we go even beyond quarks?) please can somebody explain?
He was talking about the strings. The strings vibrate at different frequencies, so he said if you could change the frequency, it'd change to photon, gluons, yang mills particles, something like that I think.
The beauty of science is what I see. It's order.
RIP TechTV
What's the title of that piece at 1:38 someone tell me pls
I've heard, and only heard (I think it was from Stephen Hawking) that formulas for the conservations of matter allows for matter to be created in only for a very short time only to disappear again. But I don't know the formulas and it's been awhile since I remember hearing it but if does allow for matter to be created and destroyed if only for a brief moment then perhaps the universe is just matter taking turns popping in and then popping off keeping everything the constant yet changing.
Michio is the source of my hulk strength.
I am working toward my degree in Physics. Just because I know how it happens does not mean I cannot have a fun time haha. I actually get more excited, thinking of all the minor interactions happening within the display in the quantum world, it amazes me haha.
He should read the "Autobiography of a Yogi". I am no physicist but a mystic.
How can you explain the existence of gold, diamonds, precious metals ect, if the temperature of the "big bang" was 10^13 last time i checked, which equals to a gigantic number. Anything put under that type of temperature will be destroyed.
If you see these flashes of light everyday, because you do a lot of spectroscopy, it becomes boring.
I love a good word of advice.
Technically, I wouldn't necessarily call the universe objective, because everyone has different perceptions and the universe begins and ends in our own minds.
Actually I think doing that would, rather than convert everyone into a single religion, either do nothing at all or (if we're really lucky) bring everyone out of all religion and into the world of logic and science, and one big step closer to a Type 1 civilization.
I think he was referring to e=mc2
I also happen to be a chemist; don't you think millions and billions of atoms reacting with one another with the addition of energy is beautiful in its own right?
Do you know exactly where the expanse of space ends?
You will never see it, You will never prove its existence.
If not, perhaps there are other things you don't know.
whats the symphony at 7:50 called ????
It's the other way around for me...it gets much more interesting and so much richer etc...

IS THIS A DOCUMENTARY OR A CONCERT?
I don't think that was actually Michio Kaku getting up out of Bed after sleeping. His Hair is too nice to look like he just woke up. Plus, there is a camera following him.

What music plays at 17:51 - 19:15
It's beautiful!
I'm only 6 years late :) Most of the music in this program is hard to find. 17:51 is the Adagio from Mendelssohn's 10th Sinfonia. The program also has the Andante from Sinfonia 2, and Grave from Sinfonia 9.

My reation to the question of if monkeys an be tought mathimatics is "Its hard enough to teach humans to lean math, its a waste of time to teach monkeys".
Is it difficult to get a job as a physicist? practical or theoretycal
Space doesn't end, it is expanding, this is a proven fact!
whats the song at 10:30?
if string theory and the universe could be explained as music vibrations, why not transcribe it and hear it for inspiration?
This guys is amazing! :D
must be nice being in the subway and hey Michio Kaku
I bet you Hawkings hates this guy ice skating the feeling of gravity lol
Boring? I just get more excited because I know what's going on and I think it's mind blowing :p
if its that important and mind blowing why would it be an equation an inch long?
does it matter how long it is? E=MC(squared) is a very small equation but is the key to unlocking a clean source of energy (fusion reactors), one of the theories maintaining the big bang, and many more.
Doesn't he mean the standard model?
If you're rational, you know that your rationaly is too limited to conclude such things as an absolute truth.
what a genius
Simply put, because of leftover background microwaves/radiation from the moment after the big bang.
Assumptions at it's best.
this comment is narrow mindedness at its best.
Assumptions, open minded?
I like this guy
How big is this ship?
What 29 don't get it?

Does this guy actually do any science? He's on so many science TV shows!
2:13-2:10 same thing he said in the documentary Einstein
"Theoretical Physicist" fancy name for Professional Guesser
I can understand calculus and the heavenly bodies

'the mind of god is music resonating through ten dimensional hyperspace' my brain just popped

I believe that darkness have a big rol on everything ..
@LeKayProducts Something tells me you didn't watch the video to know what i was referencing.
oh, i like your optimism. may it be ;)

If I wake up in a bedroom that neat, some woman made a big mistake the night before.
He was a ballin 8 year old.
michio it's good to know physics has started looking beyond bigbang. its also good to know that You don't disprove God.
What reason do we have to believe that such a version of nothing can possibly exist? I find the concept rather fascinating, but I'm not sure if it's even logically coherent to talk about such an absolute nothing. I tend to think that "nothing is impossible."
