Thanks, Robert and Michio for this great webcast. I love the Closer to Truth discussions. As a 93 year old going on to 94th in a few months, I have nothing else but to learn.

Robert, your guidance of this interview is simply brilliant, an amazing display of intellectual virtuosity! You magnificently navigate all the minefields of the popular interview genre, and thoroughly manage to focus on the objective rather than descending into ego reactions. It's clear in all these Closer To Truth releases that you are often as well informed, as well read, and as intellectually adept as your guests. Amazing to watch! Michio Kaku, notwithstanding his genius, unfortunately is prone to calling up popular media-based replies, and you do a brilliant job of pressing him to refine his responses.

[@sneckim]

I completely agree. Mr. Kuhn has a keen intellect which always shines through in the myriad conversations he has and shares. But I also appreciate his humility, which also shines through as much as his intelligence. I’ve been a fan since I happened across a CTT episode on my local PBS channel some years ago. I’ve been a hooked follower ever since.

Thank you, Professor Kaku. I like to have my mind teased and my thinking stretched in all directions. With my husband, we used to enjoy our pillowtalk of multiverses, entropy and the quantum computer. And ever since I was a kid, I always thought that if humans can imagine something new, never before done or made, it will eventually be possible to do or make it. The tools and methods will need to be developed, but the original ideation is enough to spark the energy required . Thanks again for your insight, explanations and hypotheses to watch closely

When answering the simulation question, Prof. Kaku went back to digital computing it seemed. I wish the question would have been asked again in regards to the quantum computer with all the infinite possibilities of supersymmetry- could an advanced civilization that has solved the problems of quantum computing use that quantum computer to simulate a universe like our own? Perhaps your next question 'Is the Universe a quantum computer?' answers the question in that the size of the quantum computer would need to be the size of the Universe itself- in which case, my mistake. Either way, I so appreciate you both. So many years- so much enrichment. Thank you

28:23 Kaku _“… in a room … there are radio waves [from] all over the world … but your radio is only tuned to one frequency… Now replace these radio waves with electron waves… of dinosaurs, pirates, atoms of all sorts of things… Why can’t you touch them? … Because, just like in radio, … your electrons do not vibrate in unison with them.”_ Michio Kaku, using pirates and dinosaurs makes this one of the more entertaining many-worlds explanations I’ve seen. It reminded me of my early teen years when I entertained friends with stories of how different dimensionalities - e.g., Flatland, though I didn’t know that name then - might intersect invisibly with our own 3D space, allowing all sorts of marvelous things to exist next to us without us seeing or touching them. Given the Fourier relations of quantum mechanics, I readily understand the temptation, even to Nobel Laureates, of explaining astronomically subtle distinctions between adjacent Everett composite system states by replacing them with a blindingly obvious and utterly non-physical radio-carrier-wave model. It’s utterly non-physical, not just because Everett never proposed such an idea, but because even for the low energies of ordinary FM radio broadcasts, the needed density of carrier waves needed to represent even a “small” multiverse in such a room would instantly vaporize its residents. It would be akin to labeling ants by applying a distinctive mountain to each of their backs. So what mechanism _did_ Everett propose to separate his universe states? In his view, the creation of a single new observer-observed pair somewhere in the universe was the _only_ difference that, after a universal Fourier transform, created a new and _fully_ distinct state of the entire universe, one that in his model was just as distinct as spin-up and spin-down in a single electron. That new state would then slice off some astronomically small slice of the _entire_ energy of the universe to make the state real. It would be extraordinarily similar to other states but quite real, with finite energy. Ditching the carrier-wave nonsense, let’s look more carefully at what “extraordinarily similar” means for Everett’s actual strategy for creating multiverses. Imagine an electron wave function one meter across - difficult, but not impossible. Someone at the edge of the wave function observes it and finds the electron either next to his instrument or a meter away. That’s an example of the situation that, in Everett’s view, creates a new state of the _entire_ universe. Next, picture the state of the universe as one of those Pinscreen pads that captures the shape of whatever presses against it. Observing the electron results in a single meter-wide pin clicking into either an up or down position. That pin, and that pin _only,_ is the difference that keeps the two Pinscreens “unique” in quantum superposition space. To give you some feel for the size of this universal state Pinscreen compared to a one-meter-wide up-or-down observation pin, shrinking the universe-spanning Pinscreen from one meter per pin to one _atom_ per pin gives a Pinscreen about 10 lightyears across. Since the massive-overkill FM wave analogy has nothing to do with Everett’s thesis proposal, what is the _actual_ distinction he used to distinguish between two possible outcomes of an observation? It’s that _one_ pin: a single atomic column in two sheets 10 lightyears across. Everything else is _identical_ on both Pinscreens. But at that one point, there’s a mismatch that keeps the sheets pushed apart from each other. That’s the correct image for how subtly and delicately the two states are isolated. Furthermore, the sheets must also be rigid in a way not comprehensible to material physics. And finally, the two sheets must _instantly_ separate if they are to become entirely separate states - you can’t have annoying speed-of-light delays. (A side note: While many feel the greatest attraction of the Everett model is its “smooth” use of differential wave, the astonishing impact of _every_ observation on the _entirety_ of the rest of the universe makes it anything but smooth. A more accurate description is that it uses upside-down quantum collapse on universe-spanning steroids.) You might think, well, at least the “instant” part is OK. These are _quantum_ wave functions, and photon wave functions millions of light years across collapse instantly when telescopes look at distant galaxies. So, “instant” is not a problem. Right? Ah… no. Ask anyone in quantum security how long it takes for entangled states to spread far enough from each other to become usable for security. The answer, part of commercial hardware, is easy: The speed of light. Break that assumption, and you get no entanglement and no encryption. That _has_ to be the case. Otherwise, you could use entanglement to transmit data faster than light speed. It’s widespread, though I genuinely don’t understand why, for folks to _assume_ that the formation of an entangled wave function is just as “instantaneous” as collapse. However, the two phenomena are entirely different. The event that _spreads_ the entanglement is the Schrödinger wave equation, which, in its 3D embedding, spreads no faster than the speed of light. It is only the event that _collapses_ the wave once it forms that appears “instantaneous” to observers. What this means for Everett’s idea is not complicated: According to physics _as observed in labs,_ you must wait 93 billion years for the impact of observation to reach the edges of the observable universe before you get a new, entirely orthogonal universe state. That’s give-or-take an eternity since that universe keeps expanding as this goes on. Finally, a critical closing note: The math behind the Everett approach is _classical_ math. That is, it is math based on the assumption that perfect points, lengths, angles, and orthogonality of infinite numbers of dimensions are all _fundamental_ concepts that need no further explanation. Special relativity and quantum mechanics have not supported such thinking for over a century. However, because these maths arose in the 1700s and 1800s and are emotionally appealing to human analytical styles, they got grandfathered in and applied as if they were _more_ fundamental than the classical physics that inspired them. The observable universe doesn’t use classical maths, but one of the essential features of the maths it _does_ use is that they powerfully and persuasively support the emergence of the classical approximation, that is, of locally “real” xyzt spaces. This support is why classical maths are so incredibly practical for such a broad range of physics problems and can even be bent and fractured (renormalization, anyone?) enough to support most aspects of special relativity and quantum mechanics. This support is also the source of the powerful temptation to _assume_ that their infinite limits of the xyzt approximation must necessarily be “just as true” as the partial versions that enable history, life, and the persistence of information. The infinite rigidities and speeds behind Everett’s observation-driven, hyper-speed, quantum state formation model are an excellent example of the dangers in applying antiquated classical-first maths and axioms to the deeper structure of the universe that gave rise to such approximations in the first place.

[@noelwass4738]

Excellent content. It makes one think. About the whole of chemistry, chemical bonding in molecules, life and biology itself being based on quantum mechanics. What got me wondering is that the equations to be solved in biology or biochemistry must be so incredibly complex can they even be formulated? Can quantum computers build the necessary software? That is can they even formulate the equations to solve and then build the algorithms to solve these same problems? I say this because I am not convinced that the necessary equations can even be formulated due to the high complexity and inputs needed. I very much like the quote "A flower is a quantum computer. It does photosynthesis". Nature is the real marvel here.

[@TheTroofSayer]

Another great interview. At 25:31 Michio Kaku leads into the Schrodinger's-Cat thought experiment. To my considerable relief, at 27:48 Robert presses for specifics, steering the conversation in the direction of commonsense. At 29:42 - "No doubt about that, but the interpretation is obviously critical to the foundations of quantum theory." With that, Michio leaves the question open, acknowledging that nobody knows (phew!). Both Schrodinger's-Cat & Many-Worlds are unfalsifiable conjectures that are taken far too seriously. There's something else going on, and focusing on SC & MW distracts us from considering other possible, more likely, particle-observer interdependencies.

[@PhilosophicalMusings]

Robert, can I be so bold as to suggest a topic? I think the greatest philosopher of the 20th century was Ludwig Wittgenstein. Wittgenstein was probably the greatest since Kant and Hume. My suggestion has to do with his final notes called On Certainty, which is a very interesting look at epistemology. One of your life's quests has been the pursuit of knowledge, especially as it pertains to consciousness and all the metaphysical implications that comes along for the ride. Some of his ideas of what it means to know are profound and worth exploring. Unfortunately Wittgenstein never finished his final notes before he died in 1951. One possible person to interview would be Professor Michael Potter from Cambridge. Great show by the way.

[@mmdurfee]

Quantum no doubt is going to be a much needed upgrade. I find after hearing about QC capabilities, that I have many question of the interface. Will it only analyze large datasets like protein combinations instead of taking the form of a wearable device of some purpose? If its a bunch of corporations, the military, and intelligence agencies that should throw up some red flags just as much as a criminal organization. The regulations are going to be paramount just as much if not more so than the application of what results from the computations.

"We're talking about virtual chemistry, virtual biology, This is incredible. Instead of having to create test tubes with thousands of different kinds of chemicals, it can all be done in the memory of a computer. That will speed up the finding of new drugs at an infinite factor because we can do it at the speed of (9:35) (light) inside the memory of a quantum computer." A quantum computer puts a mouse in a maze and calculates all possibilities instantly. All possibilities, not one by one, but it instantly looks at the entire array of possibilities. That's why quantum computers are, as I mentioned, infinitely more powerful on certain tasks (15:35) (equal to 935 seconds) versus digital computers" The contrast between the physically tangible, hands-on method of experimentation versus the virtual method in quantum computation enables instantaneous results to difficult problems that otherwise could take weeks even years of laboratory and real-world confirmation. This is the magic of the Echo-Borne mechanism, a discovery born from the flora and fauna of Houston's most prestigious near-city neighborhood and serviced by Memorial High School at 935 Echo Lane. For many years the Memorial-area public high school also served as the home to the only K-12 Japanese school in the entire Southern United States. Michio Kaku's famous search for an equation no longer than an inch has yielded its treasure within the Memorial ecosystem thanks to the workings of gravity within the love story of a Memorial-area lifeguard from Houston, the son of a NASA scientist, who fell madly in love with a department store sales gal and the niece of Japan's most prized Bizenyaki potter, Kei Fujiwara.

[@alphyapp]

Summary of the conversation generated by Alphy: - What are quantum computers and their potential applications? Quantum computers use qubits instead of bits to compute on individual atoms, making them infinitely more powerful than traditional digital computers. They have applications in calculation and factoring, optimization, simulation, and more, making them useful in industries such as automotive, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, finance, security, and energy. Quantum computers can help with tasks like developing super batteries, creating fusion power, simulating protein molecules and cells, and cracking codes for security purposes. - The intersection of quantum computing and medicine Quantum computing can be applied to different categories such as gene editing, antibiotics, cancer treatment, and the immune system to isolate and compare different cancers, understand molecular mechanisms, and recognize germs. Quantum computing vastly increases the power of software programs like AlphaFold, allowing for a better understanding of proteins and their function. The union of software and hardware is the future, and with quantum computers, new discoveries in medicine and disease are possible. - The potential drawbacks and ethical considerations of quantum computing While the potential of quantum computers is great, they also come with downsides such as the possibility of breaking cryptography, making criminals and military organizations un-hackable. When robots become self-aware and have their own self-programming capabilities, they may not align with our desires. Virtual immortality is already a possibility, but the ethical implications of creating a software program that is indistinguishable from a deceased individual's memories and conversations must be considered. - Quantum mechanics and its role in various fields Quantum mechanics is the foundation of the process of photosynthesis, which is essentially a quantum chemical process. The Feynman principle states that an electron takes an infinite number of paths from A to B, making an infinite number of copies of itself. The universe could only be the way it is due to the strict constraints of quantum mechanics and relativity, which is why string theory is the only solution that fits. - Speculations on the future of robotics and AI The possibility of AI becoming conscious is a real one. The possibility of creating organic robots made of wetware exists. Robots of today are not self-aware but have the potential to attain consciousness in the future.

If you want to get the consciousness transferred then you need to synchronize some moment of the target nervous system and source brain. First you need the perfect copy of the brain cells with all the (virtual) nervous cells in the same state. This is due the idea that all thinking is learning. Every thought througout the life are unique learning process which brings about the consciousness which protects itself being distributed. Without perfect sync of that learning in a moment no same consciousness can be replicated. And the brain cells die too without notice. It seems such a sync is not possible even with quantum computer but they are also sensitive and represent similar challenges. New consciousnesses can be created but not recommended.

Any interruption in the universe comes and go away to become in balance state again because the universe may immune that way. The water streams are following smoothly in their natural state until a big size rock is blocking the way; the water streams will find other ways for their new directions and back again for their normal pathway; if there is a huge rock like a wall, the water streams aggressively to find their way until the water source is cut or the huge rock is destroyed. Human is just like that, have been tried to adapt things are changing from time to time. Unfortunately this process always has a good result with right conditions. Luckily our human can use our consciousness to find faster ways to adapt changes in a reduced interval of time. We need to embrace our consciousness instinct and never loose it because that is our biggest immune in the universe.

Dear Michio, I have read 7 of your books. I have never become too involved in the use of technology in science, I am interested in how the universe evolves and reacts. Technology can help the human race become more spoiled and lazy. Technology for me in some ways is a distraction between the natural universe and man's intervention. In some ways I think that deep space travel is not necessary. Deep space travel is difficult because, it is hard to up-grade. Moor's Law proves that computer technology has to constantly improve every 2 years. This is difficult to do when you are 250 light years from earth. Deep space travel is a one way ticket! Computer technology can only go as far as our minds can think or develop. So as you can see, humans have a long way to go in the mental creative thinking process. We only use 5% our DNA, the rest is waiting to be down-loaded with information. Maybe we should focus on the DNA and utilize technology to increase information in DNA structure. My game, is before Point Singularity Expansion because, that is where all the action is for breaking new ground in theoretical Physics. I get goose bumps every time I think about, before Point Singularity Expansion. Understanding the universe leads to more mental expansion. As a galaxy travels through space it creates friction, as a result energy is increased, by how much, I am not sure, I have not done the math yet in order to understand the amount of frictional energy. One thing I can tell as a reality, to study nature is to understand the atom and the universe, and this is no secret! Energy, energy, energy, this is the way to enlightenment! Marshall Wright
