Physics of the Impossible

Dr. Michio Kaku is a theoretical physicist, best-selling author, and popularizer of science.

[@musicalmiller]

Those 22 minutes really flew by! What an intelligent an hilarious guy!

[@mahmoudbadaren]

انا احترم هذا العالم العبقري جدا انه مبدع

[@AlbinJi]

He repeated his speech from another video, but if they haven't heard his awesome words before, what wrong with repeating it?

[@starlogic99]

mole of the story is there is always a reasonable explanation

[@1999PhantoM]

He is epic. I'm 12 years old and I spend my time reading his books!!!

[@codemonkeyslikeme]

He makes lots of presentations and interviews, saying pretty much the same thing over and over again. Yet, i can't stop listening to it over and over again. it's never boring with dr. kaku.

[@constantlychangin]

@shino475 learning and holding onto information could be instant and permanent... so excited

[@tangel476]

@tangnatalaga Another good series on science is 'The Universe'. His testimony as well as others explaining complex things to us simpletons.

[@hthaya2]

how can someone NOT like him?

[@userwl2850]

last 2 seconds.... i,ll take questions. i want to hear them. :-(((((((

[@nonadam]

Good one.

[@yeyboss]

this guy rocks!

[@xDrJx]

Well, this way of invisibility is also described in his book.

[@UnforgivingCritic]

@hexcane wrong.. theories are but theories.. If a theory has empirical, measurable observations as you speak, its not a theory, but a "LAW".

[@rkari120]

This guy is absolutely hilarious!

[@ObjectsInMotion]

the camera/screen option is allowing it to pass through; it goes in one side and leaves out the other. and to bend the light around the object is much MUCH harder. its easy for the meta materials because they're so small, enlarging it would be almost impossible unless you use an electromagnetic field like in the large hadron collider to bend light around an object, and that field would use up millions of dollars a second.

[@marcelifirlej1557]

Observation is a key to knowledge. Some fish in water using jet for propulsion already millions years ago then in gas need make similar with EXPERIMENTS. Yours invisible waves (as GPS) in your invisible cloth to stay such way invisible. Maybe nature naturally already has entangle parts of genes to use for own stability and other we do not know yet. Do you agree that entangle particles (atoms, electrons, photons) are another state of matter like plasma? Also do you agree that anything moving with speed higher as light must use 5th (or higher) physical dimension, which should have explanation in Kaluza-Klein theory for 5th dimension description? Boundaries of impossible is only level of my Universe knowledge!

[@kittybuckley3]

'Nothing' is impossible

[@ObjectsInMotion]

there is an easier way to create invisibilty, a cloak of extremely tiny screens and cameras in a pattern that show whatever is behind the object onto the front of the object so it seems that there is nothing there.

[@JoeyWtf1]

HOW BOUT PRESIDENT OF THE FUCKING UNIVERSE AMONG WITH THE 11 DIMENSIONS EXPLAINED IN M-THEORY WITHIN ALL THE INFINITE AMOUNT OF PARALLEL UNIVERSES?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[@andyrooney12]

11:48 He mentioned Star Wars movie! Why am I so excited? After decades of STRONGLY saying that there will NEVER be another Star Wars film...George Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney for about $4B dollars a couple of weeks ago & he said that it's time for someone else to take over Star Wars. I watched Star Wars around 2009/2010 after decades of hearing about it and now it looks like there will finally be another Star Wars film but now he said that it's time for someone else to take over Star Wars.

[@maxyeap]

everything is possible...see 100 years ago someone said that life would be more easier in the coming years...someday going from north pole to south pole will only take 5 seconds...technology would be demanding in the coming years...education would be demanding...a cleaner one day would need at least a degree to work as a cleaner...the world is changing, so is our way of living...

[@ThierryLoa]

Dear Dr. Kaku, your interpretation of 2001: A Space Odyssey can't be father from the truth. The monolith isn't a virus, they are sent by a super intelligent species at crucial times in the evolution of the species under subject (in this case, the homosapians). The monoliths hold a message which upon touch is unlocked as it awakens that species. The 1st chapter of the film is about the dawn of man, 2nd chapter about the evolved human race and technology in space, 3rd chapter, the final voyage..

[@dbf421]

My previous post was not meant to suggest that M. Kaku is a fanatical scientific purist himself or that he would make a bad leader. I simply don't think that intelligence, even brilliance, is enough, in and of itself to qualify someone to be president. Its a desired quality but not the only one. Personally, I am a firm believer in the separation of church and state....human beings are too flawed to combine them.

[@dbf421]

Science, from a certain point of view, is a religion. The religion of discovery. As with all religions there are fanatics that lack an acceptable moral center. It is a byproduct of humanity that such individuals exist. I would be just as wary of a fanatical scientific purist, as I would of any other fanatical religious purist when considering him or her as a potential leader. Ultimately, intelligence and wisdom are not, out of necessity, akin. I'd need rigorous proofs of his ability to lead.

[@UnforgivingCritic]

ok, biblical stories aren't there to tell the exact story, they're metaphors, theoretically speaking. I'm not a very knowledgeable person. You, speaking about these mathematics stuff to sound so smart, are wasting my time. There's a big big difference between intelligent and knowledgeable.. well, i guess you're knowledgeable, but not that intelligent. You can't even distinguish theory apart from Law. Computers may have full memory and handling capabilities, but no computer can think for itself.

[@UnforgivingCritic]

nope, for a "presumed" theory to be a reality, it must be proven in detail and in "actual" form or in series of documented testings. God doesn't belong in the category of physics but in religion. But in the sense itself, God and Theories are parallel to one categorization, both are "unproven". It means there are still people who doesn't believe His existence. I believe in God, but I'm foremost seeking to prove him.. so dude, I'm with you.. :)

[@VanKlaunch]

I'll respect your opinion, but I think you have a misunderstanding on the word "theory". A theory is most esteemed scientific solution there is. There are no REAL facts, we are limited by our biological sensory organs, there's so much we can't detect, and what we can detect is only a distortion of the objective fact. However, we muster up theories and more importantly, equations to back up the theory so as to mutually fit in with all other science by means of logic.

[@maxyeap]

everything is possible...see 100 years ago someone said that life would be more easier in the coming years...someday going from north pole to south pole will only take 5 seconds...technology would be demanding in the coming years...education would be demanding...a cleaner one day would need at least a degree to work as a cleaner...the world is changing, so is

[@ScizRgaming]

@UnforgivingCritic Careful with that wording. A theory can be tested thousands of thousands of times. God can't be tested as a theory. The gravitational theory, is just a theory, but no one disagrees with that, do they? Comparing god to a theory is ludicrous. God would ride along the lines of an hypothesis or an assumption.

[@UnforgivingCritic]

@stardust005 how the hell did i support that? I'm actually against it, and its kinda funny how you are turning against yourself. I'm ignorant? or does it just fit so much to be able to make me mad or something? ignorant? I'm actually the other way around.. You, saying that you're in some PRIVATE forum? so who's ignorant? I'm not ignoring anything.

[@isleofyew1]

Knowing priests and barristers I find this joke terrible but I like Michio Kaku. Some SF movie ideas become real. It would be the Holly Lands that in the "Planet of the Apes" is the nuked "Forbidden Zone" I hope sometimes. Not that I like killing religious people but how otherwise evolve away from irrationality.

[@blackish123]

@regreg88 Theories cannot become laws, laws are mathematical. A law can help to describe a theory, but again they are not the same thing. An example of this; The theory of gravity contains the law of universal gravitation wherein the formula calculating the velocity of two objects based on their mass and distance can be determined.

[@codemonkeyslikeme]

@eucalyptus3480 YES! he'll lead us to type 1 civilization! then we'll discover immortality, and we'll exclusively give him that power to live forever so that he can continue to lead us forward to a type 2, type 3, and type 4!

[@jamesblackwell8264]

I am not asking for your credentials, my point was that you said you felt smarter because some high profile physicist said he didn't know an answer to a question you also did not know the answer to. Even if you did know the answer, is that a brag? Just an observation.

[@Boogyman4050]

We love Michio, but he needs some new jokes, etc. He keeps repeating the same stories and jokes. Like the Priest, Lawyer and Physicist joke and the Internet porn jokes, he repeats at college lectures. Michio if your out there. Please my friend, get some new material. Don't fade out on us.

[@RichRobinson]

@apostolisxa - a solar sail, from how I understand it... is a bit like a big solar panel, that absorbs light and converts the energy to propel space satellites or spacecraft. It kinda looks like a wind sail cos they have a large surface area, but they work very differently, of course!

[@pillsareyummy]

Bending the light around, or allowing it to pass through (or around to be more precise, as is the case with 'meta materials') an object, is much better than having cameras (in back) and screens (in front) of an object. The latter is to complicated.

[@marcelifirlej1557]

When I will spotted that WR104 exploded it means gamma beam is here in my house with hope front wave maybe is not so strong to worry of it :)

[@MattMould]

...WHY did NO ONE laugh when he mentioned Microsoft Works was a contradiction in terms. They laugh at Intel Inside... but not Microsoft Works? What idiots there must have been in that audience.

[@DjAntwuan94]

do we have te questions section of this conference?

[@slickjaia]

@joeywtf1 lol... I see exactly what you mean...m theory and what about the president of all presidents .. The president of universes made up of String theory ... The president of all

[@maxyeap]

everything is possible...see 100 years ago someone said that life would be more easier in the coming years...someday going from north pole to south pole will only take 5 seconds...

[@MrCabanes]

Yeah, we are physicists, we've invented the world . . . but we don't know about it! Eureka, we have a new theory, maybe a new best seller and why not a Nobel prize!

[@eveilslayer]

@MercenarySlick hes bad ass isnt he :D you cant help but love the guy, he brings so much hope and insperation when hes talking about the next 20 years of technologies.

[@onghalamwenyo]

@Laughingblades this the most vivid and most well understood explanation i've came across in science, it make a lot of sense and free most people minds.

[@retc90]

@fishNguitars how about presidet of the universe?

[@PanzarMetal]

Well not in every time he talks. Just to say something new, some discoveries. I'm not against for him explaining and making physics more popular.

[@questionyoursciencereligon5657]

I once asked Dr. Kaku a question about a paradox of gravitons emittion from blackholes and he didn't know. I felt all smart and stuff.

[@davisgreen2020]

Dr. Michio Kaku a brilliant theoretical physicist ! Making science interesting and important for the public ! As science really is !!

[@npjxv]

if you think about it... there really need not be any conflict between science and religion... they complement each other.

[@WealthThroughVideo]

@eucalyptus3480 - No. The honor of "President of the fucking galaxy" has already been assigned to Chuck Norris.

[@ScizRgaming]

@UnforgivingCritic God CAN NOT be tested. I hate when people try to delude themselves into thinking stuff like this.

[@goatbut29]

Kaku is the best. I could listen to him all day, and his books are fascinating. Hope hes around for a long time...

[@maxyeap]

everything is possible...see 100 years ago someone said that life would be more easier in the coming years...

[@SuperOmnicronsj44]

Fusing the tradition of Japanese comedic storytelling combined with scientific expertise, its Dr. Michio!

[@QuestionCuriosity]

the difference between his level of genius and many other scientists is that he actually has personality :)

[@UnforgivingCritic]

@ScizRgaming No, everything could be tested, including God. But not test as in test test(experimentation).

[@Excedrine]

Too bad television and radio degrades into nothing but unintelligible static after about 1.5 lightyears.

[@HiTikShow]

i have heard the joke about the physist from Dr.Michio 100000 times and its still funny lol

[@shino475]

if kids are able to surf the web with there minds then cheating on tests will be so much easier lol

[@smokesceen124]

everything we have invented during 16th to 21st century was to easy! now the real science begins!

[@madridisinSpain]

@codemonkeyslikeme Yeah but ONLY with the condition that he changes his joke from time to time

[@MorbidEverlasting]

Every time we seen something impossible on different planet it somehow defies earth logic.

[@thagodfather007]

hahaha imagine the first broadcast aliens recieve from us is an episode from family guy rofl

[@UnforgivingCritic]

so it means, its your own theory.. for you are NOT providing scientific evidences or sources.

[@podcastbard]

The Moon is a Death Star. There are alien beings in the moon watching the Earth.

[@anthonylancer]

@sdeevooo i said i hope hes not a creationist, i dont know whether he is one or not

[@chevon1920]

@ppc1989ark Well I certainly hope never because its not.

[@takeru51]

I don't get the internet porn joke? why is there more porn with grandma's?

[@zerounite]

Haha! he just bashed Madona!!! lol ... Prof. Kaku is a true visionair!

[@abdul0333]

I love this guy but he really needs new jokes he awlays uses the same jokes :/.

[@Chrischn89]

@HUNAdamus94 Two of my idols in one sentence? You just won the internet sir!

[@slickjaia]

@maxyeap actually by then education will be down to mind programming, if they could find out how we store memories then you could potentially just pay for what you want to know, rather than study it which by then would be a primitive way of learning, the future education be more about your knowledge on how fast you obtain intel and how you operate various technologies

[@GORANJAMES2]

I think that if there can be teleportation that means goodbye death!

[@Dyslexic-Artist-Theory-on-Time]

Interesting video! I am an artist on You Tube trying to promote my theory on the dynamics of light and time This theory is based on two simple postulates 1. Is that the quantum wave particle function explained by Schrödinger’s wave equation represents the forward passage of time or Arrow of Time itself photon by photon 2. Is that Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆p×≥h/4π that is formed by the wave function is the same uncertainty we have with any future event

[@slan7]

@eucalyptus3480 HOW ABOUT PRESIDENT OF THE FUCKING GALAXY?!?!!?!!!

[@UnforgivingCritic]

@Xerphiel yes, but I don't think evolution has been tested.

[@MegaPatrick1997]

I have seen him give this exact same speech, word for word.

[@lendmeurears]

This guy is a bag of laughs and for a physicists too lol

[@uvoob4478]

what is the unbossible ?..ewerything is bossible

[@UnforgivingCritic]

the most theoretical theory is the God Theory.

[@PanzarMetal]

Got a feeling he repeats at every speach...

[@risvangonzales]

He always say the same joke in every video..

[@lyjnozh]

13 dislikes from biologists and chemists...

[@Klarpimier]

"Apple sucks" is a contradiction in terms

[@baronmorris]

I don't think your statement makes sense.

[@johnmastroligulano7401]

Great choice in the Menagerie... Wink oc

[@bnguyen25]

theoretical physicist is a joke.

[@Optimity]

12:27 that laugh

[@AsratMengesha]

The eye works only in present (it sees the present), the ear predicts something in the future (after lightening sound is in the very near expected). And the mind works both in present past and future. We don't see objects as they were before: stars, planets, galaxies...., we see them as they are now. Your vision is not limited, not restricted by any body. Unlike your ears (how fast you hear), your vision speed take just a moment, to see how the farthest objects doing right now. You are created (evolved by designer functions). You can see the farthest object as it is right now, but you cannot hear what sound (probably very destructive or killer sound) the object is producing. If we were able to here sounds as they occur, and as we see lights and objects then we don't exist, the sound disturbs us very much. Lights do no disturbance or just little disturbance, and of course every body knows the farthest the light the less your eyes feel hurt. So, we can see light or objects in light as they are now, regardless their location, but their sound reach to your ear later (probably). But, your eyes are not limited by speed of light (c). Why not? we don't know for sure.But, we are sure that what we are observing exists now and only know because we don't know what happened in the past and what is going to happen in the future on the object.We Don't See Back In Time as we don't see future in time.

[@RMackin09]

+Asrat Mengesha Umm.. everything you said is wrong. Please read a physics textbook or simply google it.

[@AsratMengesha]

+Happyperson211 The books tell me that i see back in time. They tell me that all i see is the past. But, i know, even the farthest galaxy i can see is as it is now not as it was before. So, our eyes see only the present not the future and not the past. If i were able to see the past, i would be great magician. why because i can show my past activities one by one through /in space. Right?thanks.

[@chrismoles8113]

+Asrat Mengesha WRONG!

[@jamesblackwell8264]

But you knew as little as he did..

[@atticusspc]

@theflanman5 old people and me ;)

[@mrestullas]

i love dr michio kaku, more more

[@robinxwalterspoker]

damn why I did not study physics

[@Chubtoaster]

@System958youz trollin'

[@oldpiq]

I don't get the joke about Madonna being not smart. Can someone explain?

[@shinobikid27]

Madona also made that list LOL

[@slan7]

@DoctorHello how about queen.

[@makeyyyy7890]

@MercenarySlick he vary cool
