  Michio Kaku - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michio Kaku (born January 24, 1947 in the United States) is a Japanese American theoretical physicist, tenured professor, and co-creator of string field theory, a branch of string theory.
Kaku is the author of several scholarly, Ph.D.-level textbooks and has had more than 70 articles published in physics journals covering topics such as superstring theory, supergravity, supersymmetry, and hadronic physics (although he has not published an orginal research article in seven years).
Kaku has become a popular figure in mainstream media, due to his knowledge, as well as his accessible approach to explaining complex physics (quantum mechanics and other topics) from a layperson's point of view.

 EducationGuardian.co.uk | higher news | Michio Kaku: Mr Parallel Universe
Michio Kaku is playing the hottest game in town, with his new variation of string theory.
Kaku is the Henry Semat professor of theoretical physics at the City University in New York, and the man who, in the late 1960s, co-founded the field theory of strings - the equation that united a complex series of equations which described the behaviour of sub-atomic particles into a coherent whole.
Kaku started work on another theory, only to realise he was looking at the same phenomenon at a higher vibration on the rubber band.

Dr Michio Kaku: Yes, there is a theory that says that universes may have children, via a budding process in which a universe splits into two smaller universes.
Dr Michio Kaku: In F-Theory the physicists at Harvard University have proposed a universe with two-times, so that you would have to have two watches on your wrist to tell you what time it is. However, most physicists today do not take F-Theory seriously although it seems compatible with M-Theory.

Michio Kaku is a superhero of the incomprehensible.
Kaku's curiosity and penchant for unearthly thinking were largely misunderstood, a large part of the reason why today he has become a light unto others.
Kaku described his belief eloquently: "I would say that I lean toward the God of Einstein and Spinoza; that is, a God of harmony, simplicity and elegance, rather than a personal God who interferes in human affairs," Kaku muses.

 SS > NF reviews > Michio Kaku
Kaku here gives an historical account of progress, and manages to make everything slot into place and make some kind of sense.
Throughout the book, Kaku shows how the laws of nature are simplified by being cast in higher dimensions, and can be unified where there is enough 'room' for them all.
My main criticism of the book is too much time spent drawing contrasts with mysticism, religion, science fiction and dialectics, which doesn't leave enough time for a deep description of the interesting stuff: the physics itself.

Kaku, professor of theoretical physics at the City University of New York, thinks the possibility of such a transition appears in "the emerging theory of the multiverse--a world made up of multiple universes, of which ours is but one." Our universe is now expanding.
Michio Kaku's discussion of PARALLEL WORLDS results from physicists' attempts to reconcile Einstein's Theory of Relativity with that of quantum mechanics to form a "theory of everything." M-Theory, the newest form of string theory, allows for the possibility of a parallel universe no more than a millimeter from ours.
Michio Kaku presents all the information of what isn't the most easily understood of subjects in a fashion which allows for an enjoyable reading experience of the ever changing and sometimes reinvented theory that comes tantalizing close to the much sought after Holy Grail Theory of Everything.

Kaku explains how, even if we became pure energy, towards the end of the lifespan of the universe we'd only be capable of one thought every trillion years.
Kaku doesn't provide enough information in places (the section on supersymmetry is impossible for a non-scientist to understand) but he leaves you with the unavoidable conclusion that if and when we do find out what the universe is, and how it was created, it's going to be absolutely mind-blowing.
He doesn't ask why we would actually want to survive the end of the universe (is it just me, or is there something a bit virus-like about planning to send our DNA through a wormhole to make sure humans thrive beyond the end of time?), but he asks pretty much everything else.
