Carl Sagan believed humanity needed to become a multi-planet species as an insurance policy against the next huge catastrophe on Earth. Now, Elon Musk is working to see that mission through, starting with a colony of a million humans on Mars. Where will our species go next?
Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku looks decades into the future and makes three bold predictions about human space travel, the potential of 'brain net', and our coming victory over cancer.
"[I]n the future, the word 'tumor' will disappear from the English language," says Kaku. "We will have years of warning that there is a colony of cancer cells growing in our body. And our descendants will wonder: How could we fear cancer so much?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MICHIO KAKU:
Dr. Michio Kaku is the co-founder of string field theory, and is one of the most widely recognized scientists in the world today. He has written 4 New York Times Best Sellers, is the science correspondent for CBS This Morning and has hosted numerous science specials for BBC-TV, the Discovery/Science Channel. His radio show broadcasts to 100 radio stations every week. Dr. Kaku holds the Henry Semat Chair and Professorship in theoretical physics at the City College of New York (CUNY), where he has taught for over 25 years. He has also been a visiting professor at the Institute for Advanced Study as well as New York University (NYU).

TRANSCRIPT:
MICHIO KAKU: We are entering what I call the next golden era of space exploration. We have not just new energy and new financing and money coming from Silicon Valley, we also have a new vision emerging. For Elon Musk of SpaceX it's to create a multi-planet species. However, for Jeff Bezos of Amazon, he wants to make Earth into a park so that all the heavy industries, all the pollution, goes into outer space. And Jeff Bezos wants to set an Amazon-type delivery system connecting the earth to the moon. And so he wants to lift all the heavy industries off the planet Earth to make Earth a paradise and to put all the heavy industries in outer space.
Now, I once talked to Carl Sagan and he said that because the earth is in the middle of a shooting gallery of asteroids and comets and meteors, it's inevitable that we will be hit with a planet buster. Something like what hit the dinosaurs, 65 million years ago, we need an insurance policy. Now, he was clear to say that we're not talking about moving the population of the earth into outer space-that costs too much money. And we have problems of our own on the earth like global warming. We have to deal with those problems on the earth not flee to outer space. But as an insurance policy, we have to make sure that humans become a two-planet species. These are the words of Carl Sagan.
And now, of course, Elon Musk has revived this vision by talking about a multi-planet species. He wants to put up to a million colonists on the planet Mars, sent to Mars by his rockets financed by a combination of public and private funding, including fusion rockets, ramjet fusion rockets, including anti-matter rockets. Some of these rockets, of course, their technologies won't be available till the next 100 years. However, the laws of physics make it possible to send postage-stamp-size chips to the nearby stars. So think of a chip, perhaps this big, on a parachute and have thousands of them sent into outer space energized by perhaps 800 megawatts of laser power. By shooting this gigantic bank of laser energy into outer space, by energizing all these mini-parachutes you could then begin to accelerate them to about 20% the speed of light. This is with doable technology today. It's just a question of engineering. It's a question of political will and economics but there's no physics, there's no law of physics preventing you from shooting these chips to 20% the speed of light. That means Proxima Centauri, part of the Alpha Centauri triple star system, could be within the range of such a device. Now think about that. That means that within 20 years, after 20 years of launch, we might be able to have the first starship go to a nearby planet. And it turns out that Proxima Centauri B is an Earth-like planet that circles around the closest star to the planet Earth-what a coincidence. So it means that we've already staked out our first destination for visitation by an interstellar starship. And that...

Great looking from the Great social.
I just want to live in the woods in a cabin with the animals and be left alone
💯
Prometheus reference?
Not in the woods, in a prairie. You can't farm the woods.
Ted Kaczynski felt the same way. Look at him now.
Me too
I have the strong feeling that over 70% of humanity is not included in the several "We"s mentioned in the vídeo.
👍
Ofc unless you are the main character from 2012 movie where you can sneak in and survive. That would be cool, if the world is in chaos someday and I'm still alive I'm just gonna grab a snack, good book and make a good cup of joe.
I get goose bumps when I think about it. Haha
You have that correct.
90%
That's probably true, at some point in time, but also likely to became false as time goes by. And I am pretty happy for that, meu querido. Felizmente as coisas tomam tempo, ou tudo/nada haveria sempre/nunca. Infelizmente, as vezes a gente toma tempo demais. E cada vez mais a gente quer tudo mais na hora.
>>Great video and some excellent tips! These are scary times for new investors but the best thing you can do is not to make decisions based on emotions. This could actually be a good time to buy more of your high conviction stocks or crypto on a discount. Wealth is created during bear markets, not bull markets. If your portfolio is really effecting your mental health then delete the app and go for a walk. Let the market do its thing and have a long time horizon.

I never questioned trading with *ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER* when I first saw her POT [Proof of Trades]. I benefited a lot from it a year ago, and I'm doing more again this year>>
Just put her name on google and you will be directed to her website and drop her your messages
I’m reminded of a quote… “We were so busy seeing if we could, we didn’t stop to ask if we should.”
I got to meet Dr. K, and although he was pleasant, he look stupified when I asked him about his presence at that event and my
dream about running into him the night before. After he deduced I peeped him, he became withdrawn and evasive.
Precisely, for example, "armies of robots"--WHAT could POSSIBLY go wrong??
We shouldn't be afraid of robots but human nature. What's going to happen to earth? When the narcissist and megalomaniacs in charge have a plan b. When the main thing stopping them from launching nukes at each other is mutually assured destruction. What do you think they will do? When they know there family and themselves can escape and humanity wont go extinct. They can just live on Mars. Then come back to earth in 100 years or so. I'll give you a hint they do not give a crap about us. Just what they can get from us.

@@gregorysands8815 its programmable by humans. so dont worry
He is pretty hopeful that humanity is going to make it another hundred years as we are. I wish I shared that
Ain't that funny that's not going to happen though good job for recognizing
Nobody would listen to him if he shared his true beliefs.
@@Jonwayne777Iloveyouall how do you know? How do I know? How do we know? We’re all just guessing at this point
Odds are people will be here and the planet will be even worse off because of it.
Yrs it'll surprise the hell out of me
Thanks For This Video Michio!! Ive Been Following You For Years, And Have Learned So Much From You. Its Always A Pleasure To See You. Stay Well, And Know You're Loved By Many!!!
I always enjoy listening to you as you share your ideas Dr. Kaku, thank you.
And all those awesome things will be avaible only for the wealthiest people. What a beautiful world...
I'm sure we'll be given the opportunity to work ourselves to death on Jeff Bezos' industrialized moon colony

my mother died just before I turned 2 years old, I have no memories of her that I can recall. I would give the world to know what her voice sounded like. Its a pipedream I know, but maybe someday I will be able to hear her voice through one of my relatives memories of her.
It may be experimental tech that already exists today. Brain mapping, leading to predicting actions. The next step is mimicking what the thoughts are. In your subconscious, you know the sound of her voice because the brain records it. Some drugs allow you to bring down that wall and profoundly experience some things in the subconscious, but that is just an off subject easter egg.
F
Same with me, except it was my dad, let's hope 🙏
Such a sad comment. I feel sorry for that. There is nothing more important in the world than our mother's voice. Hope somehow your brain picks it up and bring it back to you. It is there. You heard it when you where in her womb, or in that short time she was in your world. That memory is there. A dream might one day bring it back to you. Meanwhile, good luck.
Woe. Blew my mind about other relatives memories. Sorry about your mom. I believe u see her again. That’s what I believe. Peace
I absolutely love you sir. I have listened and watched you for 20 years. I could listen to you all day. Much love and respect sir.
I love Science esp Astronomy. This is feast for me . Thanks. Victorine.
Dr. Kaku, way back in the ‘70s, there was a sci-fi mini series on TV in which the characters evolved from a human form into globes of energy that could accomplish anything with brain power. External limbs were no longer required to function. I’ve long since forgotten the name of the series but have always wondered if that was where mankind was eventually headed. Do you think we’ll evolve into “energy spheres” with no need for a physical self? By the way, it’s a real treat for me to be able to talk to you. Please continue to do interesting and informative videos.
He just described a whole lot of sci-fi movies.
Self-replicating robots (Terminator).
Brain connected computers (Matrix, and many others).
Ability to take virtual 'vacations' (Total Recall).
Just to name a few.
Sci-fi writers are damn good. Star Trek's were among the very best.
Yes, but we are running out of Sci-Fi to develop from. What happens when we are left with only Science developments, like Gravity Waves, Hadron Collider, SpaceX Starship, and Neuralink Nanobots??
Jules Vern.
A decent amount of sci-fi has always been written, under pen names, by scientists. They take a reasonably probable outcome of something their field is working on then build a future that includes the benefits & problems that outcome could bring.
@@davidcadman4468 There will never be an end to new sci-fi as long as humans exist in this current firm or a form that remains capable of dreaming up possible futures.
As long as a writer existed they will dream about the future. Jules Verne in the XIX century predicted the technology of the 20th and so on.
My hope is wisdom doesn’t get lost in the rapid seas of change. Mad respect for Michio Kaku. His ability to articulate complex ideas in understandable ways is so invaluable. Wish he had been one of my professors!
A tko ce biti Admin???Ove " dobrice" koje nas uvode u treci svjetski rat ali ovaj put nuklearni??
Well seems he is. Did you quit learning? He is still professing. This is just look here painted mainstream thinking to me.
Me too..my wife bought me a michio kaku book and I was born 💥🇨🇦🎯😆
He's my professor bro.
Me also.
I LOVE this man. I watch him on Ancient Aliens. I believe what he says about the cancer. I have an uncle on these treatments now and they do work! I believe in you Mr. Kaku. Thank you.
This man can make any lecture enjoyable and understandable for the common joe
Japanese are ultra smart how u think they sink those ships at pearl harbor and create Toyota??????
But there is no lecture here..Bub…..only one fairy tale tied into another one!!! Invisible cloaks??? So the negrahs will rob and kill at will being invisible and all!! So who would the cops chase???
This reminds me of the beginning of the movie *Idiocracy*
Especially after looking at the state of the education. Now homework is considered a child abuse by many. Kids with high school "diploma" can barely read/write. Meanwhile the officials, the parents, teachers, students are pointing at each other..
Ignorant people are easier to manipulate
The teachers in many of our schools do not have the resources to do their jobs, and have to hold down second jobs in order to live indoors. When I worked in a bookstore, I saw teachers spending their own money to get that they need for their classrooms, and that’s money they’ll never get back. I could go on, but we get far more than we pay for from teachers.
@@fightevil.readbooks.5076 Except when the parents are hopelessly ignorant which is, unfortunately, rather common these days. I guess they were educated by their parents.
When I saw that movie, back in 2014, I think, I had a revelation and I couldn’t stopped me crying all movie!!! They created it like a “comedy “ but , it was a prophecy about nearest future! Actually, we living in that kind of world, just now!
I’m terrified because I have a son 13 years old, and, with all my efforts, I see how his beautiful mind is washed day after day by this occidental system!
( Apologies for my wrong English knowledge but I’m not “ignorant “ person, only I’m not English speaker )
@@fightevil.readbooks.5076 💯 Correct
I say spend the money to clean up this mess first.
I say take my savings, salary plus taxes and all bitcoins for that.
We should invest money in exploring space also
If we invest money in advance in science that well not only fix problems on earth but open up new opportunities on other planets also
@@douglasw1545 fix earths problems? Too late. Spend money on space. For what? Waste of money.
100%%
Love this!! Keep up the great insight and knowledge
Always enjoy listening to Michio Kaku talk. Such a brilliant mind.
I love the way Dr. kaku simplifies complex ideas so that a lay persom like myself can understand the concepts he is explaining.
And still others think he's blind because he doesn't see the negatives of it. Some people are just too narrow minded. He does see both perspectives he just happen to focus on the plus side since we're not going anywhere if we don't do something
Michio Kaku is the best person to present this. His curiosity, clear speech & long sighted view allows him to be the perfect scientist for a talk like this!
Yes,
but he's not the only one.
Dont limit yourself: Search for more!
Here, i help you a BIT: Hbomberguy is an Epic channel
that educated in a FUN Way.
Perfect liar he is 🙄
@@zoron4561 pfft
@@zoron4561 ah shit here we go again
@@zoron4561 I'll volunteer you to go on Elon Musk's first Starship to Mars.
Ok. I'm a medical doctor (80 years old, so I've seen a lot). I do like the idea of a future without cancer.
He didn't give you any solution. Its like a wish list to Santa Clause, you can make one yourself it won't change anything.
As far cancer goes, veganism is shown to greatly reduce mortality. Does someone study how and why? Nope, the ones that do it have no funding from big corporations that don't look at the subject.
It was shown that some sorts of mushrooms help greatly and there were experimental cases where some cancers on the latest stages were fully healed with expensive mushrooms cocktails. Did they try to investigate how to breed those mushrooms in larger quantities and make procedure cheaper and widely available? Nope, but they study mushrooms for their properties to make chemo therapy a tiny bit better and a lot pricier.
Nano bots aren't magic. Want to make injection? Syringe. Want to cut it off? Scalpel. Without understanding of how to revert the process that kickstarted cancer cells to become more active all of this is useless. Even if cancer is removed it doesn't mean that cancer cells won't appear somewhere else at some point in time. Chemeo therapy just kills everything including normal cells but it also not a 100% guarantee.
Declaimer, we're all gonna die in WW3 anyway. If putin and his people will go insane over loss in Ukraine its all over, we'll be reduced to steampunk (well the ones that survive atleast).
I hope you will see it.
Point well taken Dr. Kaku, do you have any predictions regarding traffic transportation? Just wondering if we can fix this before we head to Mars.
Great. So the future is less about connecting physically with others and more about staying at home/forcing your emotions on others. Social media is a cancer and I hope one day we figure out a cure for it.
The toilet is going to cure us from social media.
Well said..
Complaining about it over social media. Lol ok, I have a solution for you. Leave.
@@TheChadPad Tell me about this other platform that isnt considered "social media" that I may state my opinions on then... that argument is dumb. It's like saying someone cant complain about something, while they experience it. How else are you supposed to find out first hand that you dont like something or disagree with it? You're acting like a real Chad right now
What's the point of trying to connect more physically with people, when we can already do that, and have in the past?
Augmenting our ability to fully understand and empathize is gonna be a huge advancement. Less pain and misunderstanding of others.
Besides, all life is thought and information. The physical is so banal.
Michio has clearly binged all Black Mirror episodes during the pandemic.
He has made predictions before your grandparents were borned.
More probable: black mirror is based off the science michio frequents, no?
He’s been making these predictions since before Black Mirror existed, and he’s probably right.
More like the other way round lol
Also played Cyberpunk 2077 on PC ;) (And read Neuromancer before)
Insightful and inspiring and wonderful! However, there are no straight lines in outer space only curves and circles. Even at 20% s.o.l the trajectory is an arc or a curve, lest we repeat the mistake of our ancient mariner explorers … who set of at point A believing they will go in a straight line to point B but ended up at point Z!
Michio Kaku is a scientist that I respect very much. His predictions are often extension of a probaility curve based on actual developments in science and techology today. Each time I hear Michio, I think imagination is the only limit for future developments.
The stories Kaku spins……well….it just makes me cry….they’re so beautiful!!! AND you notice that he hasn’t even hinted at the coming nuclear holocaust!!! Our future will be so bright and glowing!! Bright….because of the global fires……then glowing for the next 12000 years as the plutonium decays!! Maybe you can elaborate dr.!!!!
@renewable20002000: His vids and lectures have the same effect on me. Our kids need to hear him Michio and other scientists talk about what possibilities the future holds. Young dreamers have a way of becoming the doers that will propel humankind to new heights that were at one time thought unattainable. We need to encourage and inspire imagination, not stomp on it and relegate it to fantasy. Man, I wish I could be around in another three or four hundred years to see what humanity has accomplished.
I know these are extremely complex ideas but I love how he brings it down to a level even a child can understand and be entertained by.
Hbomberguy will do you Wonders,
friend.
He has unbiased Education AND Humor COMBINED.
He is a troll. This man has no solutions for what is going to happen to your children or grandchildren.
He is smoke and mirrors parading as an intellectual.
@@ebonkrieg Yeah, right, smart guy.
@@randomthot125 Yeah, right... Dickhead Foote is a Foote note.
@@randomthot125 This man is a tool!
His book "The Future of humanity" really inspired me. The possibilities of the future are amazing
@Gele its hard to say tbh, I'm optimistic in this sense. Suff like Neuralink will start of as something rich peoppe will obtain first, just the same as phones, and then it will become much cheaper and widespread. I think all advanced technologies should follow a similar path
Basically every science fiction movie can turn into reality. Thats also why i love these movies
@@jothepro1013 and with neuralink comes remote putting of false memories in people's minds etc. Imagine some pedophile saw your kid in his or her room playing.. (with 5g and smart home oh yes it is possible) And he is rich and wants your child, you fall asleep, and your memories are changed. You wake up, your kid is gone, but you never had one.. That is what you remember.
Just one simple example
We have already and for years technologies to dream about. Free energy exist since the beginning of the 20th century. But those in power would lose power, so they suppres it. Follow the money and you will see why the world is what it is now.
@@blanckieification okay..... but where's the proof. yeah....
I do always listen to you and believe everything you say pretty much.
I am saddened by the fact that I don't think that the human life experience will ever continue in the future, that the way I believe God intended. Thank you so much for speaking out on these subjects. Very informative, hard to ponder for an old Hippie lady that grew up in the 60"s, & 70's. I believe in Love, Peace, & Happiness! I know that I will be staying on EARTH! Yes, till the end! Great messenger, 🙏, GBU.,SM.,NZ.,✌❤😁
Such an engaging speaker and an ability to make these complicated topics so easy to understand. I also really enjoy his books. There's a book documenting a process called CRISPER which is editing within our genes to cause our body fix its own DNA to attack disease of all kinds including cancer. They were doing a story about it on a local news weekend show. No known for hard hitting type stuff. Fighting its real and being tested. Having said that dr. Kaku is not that far off.
Oh, I totally believe what he postulates & I would have been excited if I was 40yrs younger. At my age it sounds artificial - to old to want to change so much. I'll come back as a scientist !! 😜
We can't even deal with a virus at present. I also like my emotions in my head not on the internet
Well we developed a vaccine faster than ever, usually take years.
@@obinator9065 But now they are not sure it works
Yeah, it'll be real hard to hide your true feelings about others... I can see big time fights, violence, and of course wars!!!!
We are in the hands of rich narcissists and plain psychopats.
@@kevinglick8671 we are sure it works, you might not be but from the series of test amd experimentation I am 99.999% sure it works
Knowing everyones emotions and history sounds like a huge invasion of privacy.
Atropineman you cant be that far out in the woods? Invasion of privacy!? Wtf do you think your smartfone is used for? Why do you think DATA on people is so valuable? And why dont you SEE that all you guinea pigs that were lined up bumper to bumper to get tested for covid WILLING GAVE YOUR DNA TO GOV’T. Wake up!
@@karaquick395 that is completely different than what is talked about in this video. Can everyone that lays eyes on you know your entire life history? No they can’t. They would need to steal your phone or something. Information could never be immediate to everyone around you like some contact lens that tells you everything about the person you’re looking at. Not the same. Wake up.
Brandon Johnston Let me help you then? You wont need to steal my phone (or anyone else). You can have it!? So what would that tell you?? Your still at a loss are you not? Do you think my phone is a complete copy of myself? Like you stated you would need far more info? Though its more than that, its BIGGER YET WE ARE BLIND TO OUR TRUE CONNECTION. When you have little clues you start wondering, “Well that’s odd?”. Then you start seeing body language that backs up little clues. So maybe you just leave it alone? Weeks go by & you see other things out of blue that are opposite of what they spoke of earlier? So you double check. And I could say more? Or I can say less? Either way this BIG GAME that is being played We are what gets destroyed, we are not a player by far. We are getting played. You are just sucked in because you want to trust. And that’s ok to trust its s good thing, but never at the cost of Humanity.
Those people who grew up in the 1900, they might said, we are a psycho people.
Ever heard of Google? Facebook? Smart phones? Hate to break it to you, but you've been volunteering your privacy piece by piece, for years, apparently without realizing it.
Thanks forsharing it is a very good change. For us to have such a lecture. A about the three dimention
Hi, Dr. Kaku. Your work is a unique and entertaining contribution to physics and the practical world. Your posting attracts my attention. Your futuristic explanations of the upcoming machines that will improve our everyday life are astonishing.
I look forward to keeping watching your soon-coming videos.
Congratulations on your achievements in Physics.
I wish you a happy and prosperous day.
He’s not going to read that ever lol
Nice comment !
Currently reading Dr. Kaku's "The God Equation" and finding it fascinating. He explains things in physics that I previously found to be far out of my mental reach and now are explained in a way that circumvents the innumerable calculations and geniuses involved.

The universe didn't start to explode. All observations prove that the Universe has always been flat without curvature. If it started in singularity 14 billion years ago, at least initially it would have to be properly curved. However, this is not observed at all !!!!
Very honest to say that we are lucky to have such a wonderful person explaining complicated science and technology in the language of a grand mother story.
Yes...and thats, what it is: a wonderful fairy-tale for the rich elite.... in a world full of unsolved panglobal problems for the rest of mankind....
@MaxedOut4RealExactly! - Its sadly typical for our western world, that we are glad, when someone spins out those technical fantasies - and says not a single word to all those questions that normally should jump into everyones eyes: Whats with overpopulation, - whats with poverty, desease, hunger and starvation in all those gigantic regions of the 3d world, whats with continuing warfare, - whats with continuing decline of democracy and growth of stupid nationalism and totalitaristic autocracies and national isolation, - whats with the progressing desintegration of environmental and ecological structures everywhere and questions of energy supply, - whats with capitalistic plundering of basical ressources and social decline, etc., etc. ....
- I think, this guy waits for some scientists to build a somewhat almighty A.I. the "ultimate technological singularity", which spits out all solutions for the world wide structural problems.... - but what, when this artifical super-intelligence comes to the conclusion, that because it is the "new supreme species" on earth, doesn't want to work as a "digital slave" of mankind and the world will be better without those mad-gone primates, who permanently act contra-productive in relation to the interests of a healthy natural system and decides to erase the era of human presence from earth? -
Just take a look on human history: - Its a simple fact, that it is characteristic for humans, to turn every ingenious idea soon into something bad, because once such an idea is appearing, it soon will be overlapsed by what may be the "dark sides of human drives": personal interests, greed, envy, egomany, paranoia,...all that bad elements of humans mind, that are generally described by - for example - the biblical "death sins"... . - There are countless examples in history for that: Soon after man made the first spears and bow and arrow, he found out, that he could not only use them for hunting, but also to kill other humans, he didn't like! -'The discovery of metal soon lead to the construction of better weapons and arms to kill, - the same with gunpowder ( lomg before europeans had the idea to use it as a weapon, the chinese had it, but used it only for fireworks!), not long after the discover of radioactivity the first a-bomb was been built, the dscovery of money was originally meant as a more practical way to exchange products, but soon the first human came to the idea to use it to make profite and plunder out his human mates. - Automobiles, aeroplanes, submarines, chemicals, gas, satellites, every form of science - even economy and psychology .... whatever you want, it was soon used to gain power above others, destroy life, to satisfy any kind of dark needs, to kill others....
So it is in fact very naive and stupid, to point out imaginatios of what "glorious progress" technology may bring in the future, when you don' t waste a look on the overwhealming problems reality shows - and the dark side of humans intentions. This man here looks on everything only from one - the "pink" - side of life - he looks at a hypothetical future of world, as he WISHES it to be, not as it - objectivly seen - will use to be - and thats the principally, enormous fault he makes! ...the hard to understand thing is, that he is a scientist .... he REALLY should know it better.....
Technologies doesn't have the solutions for our problems here on earth - they are complete useless, if mankind formerly and/ or parallel doesn't develop another general state of mind, thats more "constructive" and "collective" ( ... in a empathetic, not "communist" meaning!) less egomanic and missguiding and far less "destructive"!
he's smoking crack
Complicated science and tech? He's just describing the plot of every sci-fi movie out there. Pretty sure he got self replicating robots from Terminator
Your right but I dread living like that.
It's our pleasure to hear you sir
🙏
Sadly all these ‘advances’ in technology will be misused as means of control as usual, so I only see a nightmare future. I admire the good doctor’s optimism!
Everything will be commodified, and only those with enough money will see the perks of these technologies, the poor will only see them being used as means to make their lives even worse.

tell me about it my gfx card is now worth 1000 when i baught it for 370
Shortage is not caused by the improvement of technology
And an average hearing aid will cost 2000 dollars. Medication for cancer so much that you have to spend all your savings if you had any. Never mind what will be invented and by whom, people in the health industry want to become rich.

Two things that need to happen: plant more trees and properly recycle. The 5dimensional shift is full of light and love, no darkness allowed. Darkness is poverty, hunger, abuse against humanity and illness. Also, we all need to be more spiritual. Love and respect nature and all the creatures great and small. Blessings.
BeNiceToAnimals: I like your name & Im all for animals! They are so much more of what WE ARE NOT! Humans ARE NOT nice to animals now, what makes you think We will change? Just asking. You mention needing trees and more recycling.THAT WONT HAPPEN FOR SURE there is to much money involved Humans that run governments/industries etc... they dont care about the trees or the innocent animals/creatures/plants they destroy. Do you actually believe they care about you or me? “NO!”. And sweetie you need to OPEN your eyes. Your blinded by your perceptions of things. You said, “No Darkness.”. Well sweetie to late this is Darkness for us to Allow these things to happen for us to just accept. Well how much or how blind must We be not to think “THIS IS THE DARKNESS!”. I say this, “Don’t let Their Darkness Be Your Candle.”. Shed light on that.
Exactly! People need to wake up and take better care of our planet, Reduce, reuse, repair and recycle, reduce single use plastic, shop second hand and repair what you have, take care of pets and local wildlife, donate to charities that benefit animals and environment, there are so many ways we can all live a more earth friendly life! There is 8 billion people on this planet, no excuses everyone needs to chip in and help preserve our beautiful planet and wildlife!
darkness is feminism
@@karaquick395 A defeatist, pessimistic, negative attitude never got anyone anywhere. You can bank on that.
Sia Dawn Fine, you just realize the scenario that’s being brought up DOES NOT INCLUDE YOU! “Hello!” nice to meet you.(lol). I can say (write) what I please. I can feel whatever I feel & express it as I choose. Just as you are defensive to my words that’s your right. Peace
I'm always OKAY with new ideas, but, most of technology that is being introduced now, is over the top!
I love the way he gives all credit for the transistor to Physicist's. with no mention of electronic engineers.
The potential tech and research we can create is amazing. The real question is what return will shareholders and corporations demand from this tech. If our current reality is anything to go by then a small minority in the West will enjoy the benefits and the rest of us will either be priced out or used as the labour force.
yay...
Organ replacement.
Populous will get universal basic income. If you want to improve wealth now, learn everything you can about daytrading on the stock market using candle-sticks. Learn from you-tube, invest when stocks are discounted or when there’s a crash. It’s free to trade, just don’t use robin-hood.
The comment above me is right, there'll be a universal basic income for everyone, it's already being tested in Europe. There's one study that actually says it's beneficial for society, even though some think It's a bad idea.
Physics of the Impossible is one of my favorite books of all time
If exams - all testing - used only essay questions, then the only possibility of cheating, copying another essay, could easily be discovered. The essay is the best and only way to show whether you understand the subject at hand. It’s also the best and only way to show what you don’t yet understand. This is so important because you need to know what you don’t know in order to rectify that situation.
I really look forward for future updates
If no one sees a dark side to any of this by the will to human power, then there's no stopping the finalization of a dystopia.
it wont happen my fellow human. keep ur faith in whatever u believe in! specialy in the human species as a whole! we will make it through... but i agree its still frustrating to se an intelligent mind like this so lost...how can he not se what we will become if hes predictions even come true?? is he really so lost ignorant and blind? its so sad...
@@privatprivat7279 He definitely sees it if you really understand what he points. We're just gonna go up until we reach a certain point. Remember he said "Extinction is a norm", he's just an optimist
It's incredibly scary. I'm sure that is not God's will for His people. We have two choices:We can think about that and survive here on earth with His help; or we can continue down the Elon Musk road. If we choose the latter, I'm sure He will respond in kind. Maybe the Elon Muskites will already have left by then.
I don't think so though. God wants every human to know Him. We are His favorite creation and He already gave us His greatest gift to guide us. I'm not talking about free will. I'm talking out His son 🙏Thanks, Elon. I think I'll sit tight.
He forgot to mention that these technologies will be reserved for the wealthy
@GRX Not for all of it. I personally believe the inequality gap will grow ever larger. By 2050, the poor will fight for water and the rich will be storing their consciousness in computers
Says the person using the technology invented just few decades ago.
Only the rich used to have mobile phones earlier
@@samualcalnan2267 and you personally dont understand how the market works
Yes! ...The wealthy ... and the the CRAZY!!
Say hi to your brother for me I worked with him for over 20 years in Sacramento as a matter fact he’s been my cardiologist love both of you continue to do good work thank you so much for your service
Love this guy...we do already have self replicating robots...they are called humans,,all biological beings really ,not only can we build,but we are a storage unit for dna..the break throughs coming in health alone will be game changing..this is where efforts should go..the toilet is the most remarkable idea i have heard,,game changer..we just have to rethink how and why we exist....Michio should be boss of the world. King Kaku.
As much respect as I have for Michio Shihan. I feel that even IF we make all these dreams come true, they will wind up benefiting mostly the rich and/or the military.
When has the point ever been to benefit anyone else but them
That's how it always starts though. New technology is expensive and usually very specialized so the only people to afford it are the wealthy or military. Wartime brought in a lot of modern technology like rockets, commercial flights, drones, computers, etc. Even outside of war new tech is always seen as a rich man's status symbol, like the automobile or cellphones. Now even homeless people have them.
New technology might only come about to benefit the rich and powerful but eventually as it becomes cheaper to produce and it's usage expands beyond it's initial conception us peasants will get it eventually.
I hope not .
That's exactly the point if everything. You can have all the ideas in the world. But the lack of real live and compassion is always going to be there. The human mind is incapable of setting the tone for fairness. It's just not there and never will be. It's just a surreal that this is what life is really about
I think one of the steps and moving up as a 123 bubble Society is we no longer have the need for money or rank systems anymore
This guy is so intelligent, knowledgeable and easy to understand. We need more of his kind teaching us in the schools.
I wish our politicians were like him.
@@Joshua-qe3bu
The Human mindset, that believes We should Conquer, rather than live in Harmony, has become a detriment, a scourge, to our existence. 🤮
@@Joshua-qe3bu We don't conquer places even our own highest peaks we are merely visitors there
It is inspiring.
Let us stick to basics. If the foundations are not layed, how can we jump from no basics to science? Impossible. Our School System leave much to be desired, so let us start with it
It is easy to see why Mr. Kaku is regarded as a genius. Bravo.
Amazing I have thought a great deal about Entertainment. It would be a total Immersion experience. Sight, Smells, Sounds, Cold or Warm, feel as for the chip giving us the way to experience the emotions within the story. That would be the icing on the cake.

it's funny you started talking about meteorites that can destroy the planet and then about the safe future without problems
He has blown a fuse.
It's almost as though he started with the furthest future then walked back to the closest.
The future is now... just in our minds
Maybe he’s giving a variety of different prospectives. It’s funny how people only see their own..
Just watch The Expanse season 5 episode 3 and 4. Rocks hitting earth and they are covered with stealth tech. Scary planet destroyers!
Finally someone else who says we have the technology to make iron man suits! Why aren’t we yet? Obviously we don’t have the same propulsion system but it’s damn close. It wouldn’t even be that difficult and it wouldn’t even be big and bulky. If I didn’t have a wife and daughter to support I’d build one. Actually we could build a better one than mark 2
My toilet tells me I have something wrong with me every single day.
All this will unfortunately contribute to a larger separation of classes! I love science, but power takes over… always!
When personal computers first came out, only the wealthy could afford to buy one. Same goes for thousands of other 'advances' -- like glasses, or air-conditioning, or cars, and on and on. Over time -- usually decades -- these advances become more and more accessible to all classes. And it has nothing to do with economic or political systems, it's just the way the world works.
Michio Kaku is my favorite scientist of our generation. Brilliant mind!!!
His little stories just makes you want to cry!! Such faith in the rats which humans are!!!
Excellent sir . Very inspiring sir
Interesting! Thanks
I just want my contacts to help me see better at night.
lmao
Zoom in/out would also be neat
That and X-ray vision would be cool
@@thebman80 prevert!!!
I like these hopeful predictions, especially in these current troubled times, where it's easy to lose yourself in a spiral of negativity and
despair.
Unfortunately it does not necessarily mean these predictions are for the better ..technology has proven over the last era , to only bring us further away from our ability to life in balance with our environment
If we trash our planet Earth, what makes one think that humans aren't going to trash another planet they land on?
The thing is, they're not even hopeful. They're most probably what will happen within this century.
@@donnawoodford6641 stfu there are trillions of them in the universe
Much of what he says could become true if western science and civilization predominate. Unfortunately, there are many among the political and academic elite in the west who believe Christianity and capitalism are the underlying causes for racism and genocide. Like here in Canada, because of historic wrongs committed against indigenous peoples, universities are ditching the scientific method in favor of native spirituality. This may serve to absolve guilty consciences in the short run, but it will make it increasingly difficult to achieve technological progress in the future.
Brother we have been here a long time, how can i help? We have the issue of computers deciding to protect us from us then they will decide to destroy then relize how wrong they were. how do we solve this?
Outstanding presentation
"we have to fix our earth rather than leave it" THANK YOU! THANK! YOU!
That can only happen, if we elevate ourselves, above, beyond, our massive Ego's.✨🤔
The SUN has entered the chat
Nothing last forever and no human knowledge can know how long we have. What we do have is an opportunity to be a good soul today.
Life is not forever only a test to see the heart of us.
I think it would potentially be dangerous to transport human beings to another planet, such as Mars. Would people not find dangerous circumstances when they arrived?
Yes your right but if we can't send a humans to Mars and didn't colonize it would be the worst thing ever done by this generation.... For future view it is important...
We can just send robots to build and maintain structures there for the meantime until we are sure that it's finally safe for human beings to live there long-term. I doubt that by that time we wouldn't have already prepared in advance for the potential dangers of going to and inhabiting Mars for the very first time.
Mister Dr. Michio kaku my favorite scientist, 22 years ago my father spent 1800$ on a machine u wear around your head, and u could control games with your mind. It only works best if your not moving
Sadly it was made for ADHD and add. But to this day 23 years later I still think of it.its amazing. I could move stuff on the tv with my mind. Off that was awsome
I think humanity will self destruct prior to all these marvelous advances.
i know it will
Yep Earth 🌏 🍄☁️ 💥 boom!
I agree with you we will be long gone before we get this advanced technology after war climate change.... Any way besides. This scientific stuff so many prophecies coming true... In religious terms were living in the last days.
We've faced worse, it's obvious we'll make it if you studied all of human history.
@@Gold-cb2pq Humanity is being watched from the outside as we are close to self destruction.

Horrifying
The 3rd prediction was awesome! ❤❤❤
We’ve reached a point now, although earth has been here for thousands of years, where we’ve completely lost our damn minds.
First of all we need return of morals and family values. The rest should come along fine. If not, we’ll just be another fallen empire. All one has to do is review the fall of the Roman Empire.
@@gerrydave7586 and what does that mean?
@@ruthetiger It means study history of this planet.
But I'm trying to understand the root of this. What is the history of this planet? What morals do you speak of? If I'm asking l, it's because there are certain people who need specifics. If that's given better dialogue can be distributed.
Good manners, honesty, loyalty, love that doesn't change like the weather, reliability ....... come on, you know the right stuff like the 10 commandments!! You don't need to be religious if you adhere to them.
Somebody already made self replication robots...HUMANS !!
Is that what you think of your creation???
No doubt humans will create their own doom
DOOM!
Or salvation
@@DennisMoore664 RIP
There will be destruction and creation. Doom and salvation
We already did it’s called Twitter and Facebook.
I'd like to record my dreams and replay them in the morning lol I have crazy dreams .
Love you Professor Kaku! 🤍🤍
Nice, nice. But first, two questions: 1.) Which one is cheaper and easier: to protect planet Earth which already has everything that life needs? Or to colonize a planet called Mars, which has nothing that life needs? 2.) Are we capable of and are we succesful whith the one that is easier?
No. Well f*ck up in either case.
100% agree.
Did you watch the video? He’s talking about an insurance policy. A multi planet human race... multi planet, meaning humans will be on two different planets at the same time to ensure one survives.
Michio's explanations and descriptions are always insightful, straightforward and extremely sensical.
I remember a experiment relatively recently accidentally created a micro-scale warp bubble. We need to work on that and we’ll eventually be able to travel across lightyears near instantaneously.
Wow, this gave me such a boost in hope…
Wow he speaks so much with great diction and he explains so well and relates it to everyday things that I understand these concepts. I grew up watching him on discovery channel because of my dad lmao
I just love Michio Kaku ❤️ The man always gives me some food for thought
thoughts about the possible applications for interrogation brainwashing and torture...?
@@paulinebell4873 Od WWII Njemacka je Americka kolonija...

I love the 2nd prediction ❤
Sending warm regards to the venerable professor. He is an asset to humanity.
I think we need to get our s*it together as a species, first...if we really want to progress...
social progress before technological progress
@@kinngrimm yeah good luck with that
Progression is all we ever do as a species we are built to be extremely innovative, you gotta be more specific
As long as there are people with good will and intentions we will be ok in this world of chaos. Although it doesn't seem to be so, chaos is natural progression. I only see change as a constant cause nothing stays the same.
but we are greedy :/

Thank you for your Insight on many different subjects I enjoy listening to you
Feeling others emotions through film is dangerous. Film and entertainment already puts you in a hypnotic / altered state and affects the subconscious mind.
Sounds like the Arnold Schwarzenegger Movie " Total Recall" Quaid Start the Reactor
I think instead of Lasers we should put a Lens Satellite into orbit to focus sunlight onto Solar Sails! Down side-- this likely wouldn't reach the same speeds. Plus side-- a Lens would provide unlimited energy from the Sun!
