I remember listening to Dr. Kaku long ago and he’s honestly one of the reasons why I loved physics when I was in uni. Such a wealth of insight into the universe

[@strife9878]

I remember coming back from high school and putting on Discovery , there was always a documentary with Dr Michio Kaku on . I've never studied physics but always been fascinated by it

[@nicolasfl1864]

Michio Kaku is a professor at my University and I still fangirl every time I run into him lol

[@Minh-uv9bb]

Thank you for exploring and pushing the frontiers of physics. And sharing it in ways that’s so interesting and exciting for the a simple person like me 🙏

[@marmantole]

I love Michio Kaku and find him so interesting, but after hearing him on multiple podcasts, it's clear that he uses the same memorized script when talking about his life and his work. The same stories, punchlines, in the exact same order of words. I'm sure if you laid them all over each other, they would match up perfectly.

[@lukaradojevic7195]

I watched one documentary from 1989 called "borders" with Robert Anton Wilson,and Kaku appear as a guest,and he was talking about how he used to make atom smasher at home,same story that he is talking about today

[@fmcdomer]

Split his head open and a little alien will jump ship

[@Minh-uv9bb]

I listen to lots of podcasts and find that most people repeat the same stories. But these are the essentials about their life experience and/or their work. Therefore when asked about these things speakers will tell the same story. Don’t you do the same thing in your life? If it works why change it??

[@TaborTalk]

Yeah, but so what - he’s so fucken brilliant and the stories are awesome

[@TaborTalk]

@@Minh-uv9bb EXACTLY

[@dialamark7863]

Thank you Tim, I was waiting for such podcast.

[@timothyshaw5498]

Even though I used a very similar model in a science fiction novel, it stuns me to hear Dr. Kaku describe time travel and parallel universes/time lines.

[@yaxcheka]

I enjoy listening this interview . Thank TF for posting it.

[@propersteb7787]

this discussion is fascinating!

[@pixelart0124]

starts at 4:12

[@audiosmarts675]

This was great Tim!

[@akashlapasiya]

I would love for you to have a conversation with Sadhguru and explore Spirituality & Mysticism just like you explored science with Drm Kaku

[@EffySalcedo]

1:19:31 "Russia" , well now we can say it again Dr. Kaku 👍🛰🚀

[@basecode06791]

[@tadgh123xx]

physics is finding the path through the maze to no parameters

[@jamesmontgomery8249]

“ I am”. Where is space or time or society in that thought ?

[@ingemar_von_zweigbergk]

I suppose these reoccuring 1 - 3 mm wide micro black holes are for personal defense use and I didn't even finish senior high school

[@jamesallen5068]

What if the reason we daydream here on Earth is because we're more closer to the Future than the past. Past being the further away from gravity into outer space and beyond, because to look in the distance stars is to look in the past so what if to daydream is to be closer to the Future.

[@parkeryigit4434]

Dude enough with the commercials

[@AngchukMayur]

A video would be better with this podcast

[@brettwyatt3260]

Although I thoroughly enjoyed the interview, the promotion of WEALTHFRONT was very disappointing. It's very a generic platform, it has poor support, and I walked away feeling like Tim was evolving into a cross between the late Ed McMahon and Bill O'Reilly, both of whom were and are unscrupulous in their endorsements. Don't go down the dark path, Tim.

Min 29 time travel

[@HS-wn7km]

Hated the long advertising intro...was about to close the video

[@bazmalaza85]

sounds like Timmy is fishing for new investment possibilities, kek

[@link6563]

40 minutes of ads, 10 min of Michio

[@soldbyToosdae]

Indistinguishable? Not a chance. There's a day that he had stomach pains and almost shit his pants. But the bathroom 🚪 was blocked. His friend was 🤣 rolling on the floor 🤣. That wasn't digitized.

[@KosalYan-pq2xy]

❤❤❤ WITH-RESPECT; * Einstein “THEORY of EVERYTHING?,” ANSWER: “ Conscious-Energies.” THIS ENERGIES MANIFESTED EVERYTHING THAT EXISTED IN THE BEGINNING & NOW. AND STILL EXPANDING INFINITELY.

[@catmando3250]

It's always sad when a well known physist retires and becomes irrelevant. I hope Dr Kaku gets back to science and drops science fiction.

[@FrancisTSYu]

I recommend a video link as attached, then we may know why modern physics does not add up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZyai3ida52JY9E

[@palashmukuldas5811]

Repeatative ..... Same lines .. same story

[@janiceg7661]

I send msgs to my past self all the time. I believe there are healers among us who can raise your vibration and swap your present self out with another, healthier version of yourself.

[@KosalYan-pq2xy]

WITH-RESPECT: “ NO - HUMANS - CAN - CREATES - HUMANS - CONSCIOUSNESS - SOULS - ENERGIES PERIOD. “ * “GOD,” Is Source Original Creator of Consciousness-Souls-Energies. * Consciousness-Souls-Energies = Dark-Matter, * Consciousness-Souls-Energies = God-Particle, * Consciousness-Souls-Energies = String-Theory, All these are “ONE.” That “MANIFEST,” From nothing to something. No_Doubt.

[@user-dr5yv8jv9f]

TIME TRAVEL A FALSE TERMS NATURE HAS MANY MAGIC BUT TIME TRAVEL UNLUCKILY NOT IN THIS MAGIC SO U R WORKING ON FALSE TERMS

[@repurposeyou]

On the real Kaku a sci-fi author at best. He speaks in hypotheticals and theories 90% of the time. He has no real experience of what he’s talking about.

[@dverygrateful1]

Are you serious! What are your credentials. Sad man says others are not knowledgeable. Like trump you know a lot and more than othets?

[@GingaMan]

Here is some real truth for you alI.. I love how this guy thinks he knows everything yet like Einstein he thinks time is linear, like a straight band. It is not, time is a sphere it is circular in nature just like the stars and planets. Think of this, one can bend time and space. Bending a straight line is not so easy, bending within a natural curve is much more robust. I know this is true because an alien showed me this using the technology that the alien's species created, which was way beyond what we create so far. AND YES, I said aliens. Is it not funny how these aliens do not go to people like Michio Kaku, instead they came to me to share this truth. One day humans will discover just how correct I am. Until then keep worshipping wealthy people who can afford wealth driven universities, even though they know a lot less than they admit.
