I had Dr Kaku SPC210 Physical Chemistry in 1992. He chased me naked through the quad wearing nothing but a rainbow turban, but he was also wildy waving a set of nunchuku and repeatedly screaming, "Steak and eggs for dinner, are you crazy?!" We made sweet love afterward and that's how humanity first learned about quasars.
I could listen to this man speak all day long without being bored for a second. What I would give to have had him as a professor when I was a student. I hope his students realize how lucky they are.
One of his student commented here and said how wonderful he was so yes... I think any intelligent student will know how lucky they just by default of Michio being himself.
Very good. Thanks Lex. Love your work and this is far and away the best interview I have seen, with Michio. I watched some of the one he did with J Rogan today but there was such a disconnect between the two - it just didnt work. Well done ... as usual.
@@skyblue9991 No. Its true. They see us as alpha. Domesticated dogs has that embedded in them. If you nurture a baby of whatever species they will think you are his parents and these animals dont have the brain power to comprehend we are different than them. They take our shape for granted since they seen us from birth. You noob. If you need more classes. I charge Sherlock
@@cloudridermrbliss7085 I didn't say anything about hierarchy. They most definitely see us as the alpha but that has absolutely nothing to do with the point I was making. A quick Google search for “does my dog think I’m a dog?” says "no and that’s primarily because of how we smell. Dogs have the same senses as humans, but their sense of smell is much better; humans have about six million olfactory receptors in the nose (the receptors that allow you to smell) while dogs have up to 300 million-making their sense of smell anywhere between 10,000 and 100,000 times better than an average human. Dogs also have a second olfactory system, called the Jacobsen’s organ, that allows them to process much more information through smell than humans can-including what species they’re interacting with. You know your dog's habit of sniffing other canine’s backsides? That’s not just a “dog’s way of saying hello.” What they’re actually doing is sniffing out information. There is a ton of information your dog can get just from another dog’s scent, including the dog’s age, gender, health, sexual readiness, and-you guessed it-whether or not they’re actually a dog. Your dog can tell instantly whether they’re interacting with another dog or a human by scent alone-so when your dog gets a whiff of you, they know they’re dealing with a human." So the next time you try to pretend to be smart... maybe do a quick Google search, dummy. 👍

Machio and Niel are both very ignorant of the reality of the physical limitations of communication over Ling distance. It's a myth that communication to the nearest star is possible. Read the works of Claude Shannon. The father of information theory. Kevin
I remember when I was 10 and I was watching a documentary that Michio Kaku so graciously decided to partake in and the entire show every time another person talked I listened but when he spoke about the things he did in that documentary I remember a feeling I had never felt before and all of the sudden the big bang went off in my head and I could see from the dawn of time the planets the stars the creatures the effects that physics play in all of it such as gravity speed energy down to the cells that make my body up and I still hit dead ends as he quoted Albert Einstein saying he just couldn't imagine a picture of it but just keep running the thought processes in all means and it will always come to you be happy
A little simplistic at times, but he opens ideas that most people don't realize about our daily universe. But he glazes over critical concepts and this to connect some of his larger concepts. But he is a good listen, I used to listen to him in the early 90's on the Art Bell coast to coast am radio show.
@@snowsanta7 all it needs is a bit of common sense. We are either being visited by aliens or not. If not then a hell of a lot of pilots military and civilian plus air traffic controllers who report silent flying discs are making it all up which is worrying in itself.
This podcast i find most interesting specially for me after elon musk podcast it was so so good conversation.Michio kaku is ONE OF MY FAVORITE PHYSICISTS.
I went back into your archives for this one. Lex was wide eyed listening to this brilliant mind :) I was lucky enough to meet Dr Kaku after one of his entertaining talks many years ago. As a futurist, his visions might sound outlandish to some; I assure you, he is well grounded in his reasoning with a deep understanding of our trajectory as a species. I imagine his predictions will be a collection of beautiful files in the near future where many of the things he said will have come to fruition. His true wisdom will play out many years from now.
For me its hard to keep eye contact if you are "downloading" information form your brain and try to explain complex concepts. Its way easier with everyday smaltalk topics though.
@@tyblu7667 It's ok its just something I noticed, you don't have to notice it too. Life is subjective. Relax. I love Mitch Hedberg as well as Michio Kaku. Follow what you love.
Neil Degrasse could probably learn a lot from this guy on how he does interviews, he does not constantly interrupting you and he does not try to belittle you while he is answering or giving knowledge
I think it's because he's constantly being interviewed on the same topic, I've seen quite a few of his interviews and they are very similar, even using the same jokes. He's awesome though.
What an incredible mind. His book, Physics of the Impossible, is in large part the reason I went back to school, and will be recieving my bachelor in CS in a few months. Great interview!
@@jessethompson4019 did you seriously just ask how does he have an incredible mind? The guy is a genius. He's literally one of the smartest people alive. Got any sources for your claims?
I can listen to him for hours. He’s a great scientist, and an exceptional story teller. He’s way of simplifying complex topics reminds me of Brian Greene.
He is not a scientist, he is a speculating philosopher. Nothing wrong with that, but don't call it science, which requires to be experimental and falsifiable. String theory and multiverse theory do not qualify. His ideas have no more validity than that of a metaphysics philosopher.
@@showponyexpressify "A theoretical physicist is a scientist who uses mathematics, calculations, chemistry, biology and a series of theories to understand the complex workings of the universe and the interactions between matter and energy."
I met him after a lecture he gave in Texas. He is an exceptional person and really a nice guy! What a gift he is to the world. I've read all his books except the most recent one.
I could listen to this dude talk for hours. The one question me and my friends would ask ourselves when we were in college is why there is something rather than nothing.
it's funny that we think the default state should be "nothing" and have a hard time accepting the default state might be "something". but we'll never really know

@@joeroganpodfantasy42 Thats because the bulk of his knowledge is theory bound to mathematics that your mind couldn't even begin to comprehend because it lacks the pre-requisites of the pre-requisites of the pre-requisites...Its not his fault you're exponentially less intelligent than he is. Do you think his 300 level courses and lectures are this speech over and over? Gotta love the Joe Rogan bois!!
@@briancam_2000 His opposition logic behind Cassini was very much centered around the delivery system of the experiment and NOT in any way an anti-nuclear or anti-science stance. He even gave a suggestion for a safer plan that would still allow the scientific experiments to go forward. He was opposed to NASA's methods and how they assess risk. We all know the tragedies that have occurred due to the bureaucracy of NASA, specifically involving SRB's. Seems pretty reasonable to consider what would happen should launch fail and 70+ lbs of Pu is rained down onto civilization. I am glad we launched Cassini and glad its' launch didn't fail. We've learned so much from it. He is no fraud, and you may want to learn to express yourself better. You come off as a bit unhinged. Who types like that lol! :)
This interview is completely mind blowing! Thank you Lex for bringing Mr. Kaku to us. One example of this mind blowing information is-- 34:10 - 36:00 ....this is wild!!

I love Lex Fridman's focused, calm and utterly relaxed demeanor. Almost emotionless, but not in a bad way; It's more like he's just very in control of emotion.
I remember Michio talking about science and future on Discovery Channel or something similiar years ago - I loved watching him when I was a kid. And I still do, his insights are as fascinating and inspiring as they were back then!
I grew up watching him host shows about space as a child. This guy is the reason I fell in love with space. He is so skilled at explaining big things for a small mind. Love this guy
Great interview! I used to run into him all the time on the Upper West side a few years ago when I lived in NYC. I think we lived in the same building. He was always such a lovely man and gentleman. More excited to meet him than all of the other celebs I have met. The man is a genius.
Talks about space exploration and space science makes me more interested in life, it's a blessing that we can listen to such talks and almost for free due to UA-cam
That is correct but don't forget all humans have that capability to reach inside their consciousness but they are operating on low frequency and vibrations!
I understand the joke, but Lex really answered the questions Michio asked. Or at least he tried. This means, the questions were not rhetorycal. I am not taking out the fun of your commnet
Michio is one my favorite physicists out there and a personal favorite. He was one of the people that inspired me to follow my engineering career. I met him for his future of humanity book tour in Chicago. Great guy and great book. God bless.
Wow, great. Yeah I loved his "universe in a nutshell", crazy it's now a decade old. I would love to know what he thinks about the mindblowing improvements in AI that happened this year.
Really? Haven’t you noticed that he repeats the same shit over and over in all of this talks ? So you like hearing the same story over and over ? This guys is the worst…
I read Michio's book Visions to my son when he was around 7 or 8. It inspired him, too. He had thousands of questions I had to answer. He learned there is a future and what it might look like. He also learned it's gonna be damned fun and interesting to be a part of it. He's now a tech lead for a telecom company. I imagine Michio had a great impact on many of today's engineers and scientists.
He's too scared to try Mushrooms or DMT. I'd love Michio Kaku to do a Scientific DMT study. Connect him to an IV drip and send him off into the Cosmos for an hour discussing string theory with Machine Elf's
That's seriously the perfect way to describe him. He has this showman like persona and it's simply that he has been giving these takes all the time, ergo, the walking monologue.
I don't recall to when exactly was the last time I'd watch a whole interview lasting more than 15-20minutes straight without interruption. and especially at 2:30 am. but I just couldn't stop this ! amazing talk Michio & Lex. thank you guys.
"Dogs are confused. Dogs think that we are a dog. That we're the top dog, and they're the underdog." -haha great interview, learned a lot from Michio over the years!
Michio's the one who's confused. Dogs aren't dummies. We don't look like a dog, smell like a dog, act like a dog. They know we're a different critter, just like they know a bird isn't a dog.
@@tiny_toilet sorry, but you're the confused one. What he's talking about, like most of his answers, is supported by science. In this case, canine psychology. There have been experiments carried out as to dog behavior comparing humans to fellow dogs. What he is saying is accurate, dogs think of people as part of their pack. Next time, don't be an idiot
@@danzai They think of people as part of their pack, yes, but they don't think we are actually dogs like them. They just accept anyone as their pack, and they love humans, it's literally in their genes. What Kaku is saying there, shouldn't be taken literally, he is just making a point.
I remember when UA-cam first came out. I thought it was a stupid idea. Watching videos like this without having to travel to public speaking events, boy was I stupid.
@@derice7460 Well, I agree. But if guys like us should have existed then, we would have anticipated what such an incredible thing UA-cam will be. If I tell you your kids would telepath, do you believe it?
It’s so humbling how primitive we are we don’t know where we came from or where we’re going and our smartest ppl spend hours discussing the possibilities
@@matthewlawton9241 that’s a tiny amount of information in the bigger scale of things, we have 0 idea where we will be in 200 thousand years and we have no idea why humans or any life form exists anyway, the information we have on the universe is so limited to say it isn’t is just pure human arrogance and wanting to play god, we get the biology but why why does any of it even make sense why are there random giant stars floating around space, why are there random frequencies and dimensions in this universe, we are so primitive if you compare us to the idea of an alien civilisation that has evolved for millions of years, and that concept is just as strange as the fact we are alive today, we know very little
Michio Kaku is one of my greatest role models. I was heavily inspired by his lectures and talks at my teenage days, motivating me to get into STEM. Love Dr. Kaku! Salute!! One of favorite podcasts of all time.
So much information. I've learned a lot about his ideas and theories.t I admire and respect him a great deal. I want to read his books about Quantum physics and the string theory, artificial intelligence, etc. Fascinating.
He made me realize for the first time that telepathy could (and most likely will) actually be possible when we create an interface between our brains and the internet. That's pretty amazing imo.
@@lawanddalatieh yeah lol I realised this a long time ago... People don't think about it but about half of our communication if not more is now primarily non physical. It is now simply a case of waiting for the tools that facilitate the quickest and most direct stream of thought to digital medium. I'm guessing the primitive version of this will be something along the lines of what Musk is looking at with Neuralink.
A I is the wave of the future but he does have a point about a I advance memories vortex math Im just learning but it's all about the universe laws of attraction
@@lawanddalatieh true.. i already observe this. its like being commanded by my phone and i dont like it. ive been questioning telepathy these days. im always quiet and observing my environement. i can somehow pick up bits of information by mere observing something especially from the internet. and i dont like it. i cannot hide or you cannot hide.
I remember once in a interview Kaku was asked if he thinks Math is hard…he said Math can be hard for everybody but he was curious enough about the universe that he didn’t let that problem stop him so he hit the books for hours and hours and the more he spent time working through these math problems the easier it got and the better he could understand some of the things that makes the universe appear as it is.
The more math I did, the harder it got! So, I found an autistic room-mate. He would do my home-work and I would button his shirt and tie his shoes. I then made A's in math class.
@@reinman1987cancerI feel like a lot of modern scientist always come up with a "childhood garage story" to make them look like some sort of wonder genuis child. They mostly exaggerate their story, it's impossible that a child could built a working particle accelerator or nuclear reactor or whatever he had claimed to built.

Very well said 👏
The thing about Michio Kaku is that he is able to challenge old theories and is open to applying new interpretations. Many scientists question his approach, but I find it refreshing.
Except he is unable to question string theory
Michio is like Carl Sagan in a way, he can bring a complicated subject to a lay audience and get them to understand. Xman

IF REFERRING TO MICHIO OR LEX THE ANSWER WOULD BE YES.
He's a story teller. Bullshiter. 😆
It wasn't a 'conversation' as much as it was Lex reading question 1 and Kaku reading answer 1 so forth & so forth

I can listen to professor kaku all day and night and never get bored.
That was the shortest 1 hour I’ve ever experienced on a UA-cam video. What an inspiring man.

yup. 10000% true
I agree with this comment bro.
"You see, dogs are confused. They think we are dogs"
- Michio Kaku 2019
But do they?
@@juliewilderman8782 I don't buy it. If you examine their behavior closely I think its pretty obvious that they know we're different.
@@skyblue9991 No. Its true. They see us as alpha. Domesticated dogs has that embedded in them. If you nurture a baby of whatever species they will think you are his parents and these animals dont have the brain power to comprehend we are different than them. They take our shape for granted since they seen us from birth. You noob. If you need more classes. I charge Sherlock
@@cloudridermrbliss7085 I didn't say anything about hierarchy. They most definitely see us as the alpha but that has absolutely nothing to do with the point I was making.
A quick Google search for “does my dog think I’m a dog?” says "no and that’s primarily because of how we smell.
Dogs have the same senses as humans, but their sense of smell is much better; humans have about six million olfactory receptors in the nose (the receptors that allow you to smell) while dogs have up to 300 million-making their sense of smell anywhere between 10,000 and 100,000 times better than an average human.
Dogs also have a second olfactory system, called the Jacobsen’s organ, that allows them to process much more information through smell than humans can-including what species they’re interacting with.
You know your dog's habit of sniffing other canine’s backsides? That’s not just a “dog’s way of saying hello.” What they’re actually doing is sniffing out information. There is a ton of information your dog can get just from another dog’s scent, including the dog’s age, gender, health, sexual readiness, and-you guessed it-whether or not they’re actually a dog.
Your dog can tell instantly whether they’re interacting with another dog or a human by scent alone-so when your dog gets a whiff of you, they know they’re dealing with a human."
So the next time you try to pretend to be smart... maybe do a quick Google search, dummy. 👍
@@skyblue9991 Allright Sherlock I will give you this one but try making your answer short next time. Aint nobody got time to read an essay on the internet nerd🍆🍆🍆🙏🙏😹😹😹

I could too! Himself and Neil deGrasse Tyson are two of my favorite people to listen to.

Machio and Niel are both very ignorant of the reality of the physical limitations of communication over Ling distance.
It's a myth that communication to the nearest star is possible. Read the works of Claude Shannon. The father of information theory.

Lex is really enjoying the ride like a little kid. So wonderful to wonder about these things like children.
I remember when I was 10 and I was watching a documentary that Michio Kaku so graciously decided to partake in and the entire show every time another person talked I listened but when he spoke about the things he did in that documentary I remember a feeling I had never felt before and all of the sudden the big bang went off in my head and I could see from the dawn of time the planets the stars the creatures the effects that physics play in all of it such as gravity speed energy down to the cells that make my body up and I still hit dead ends as he quoted Albert Einstein saying he just couldn't imagine a picture of it but just keep running the thought processes in all means and it will always come to you be happy
Lex, this is the best interview I've seen of yours. That's because Michio is so forward thinking. Whatever you do, get him back!
@@adgalanda I agree with you wholeheartedly. In fact some stuff he says is said so much, it sounds exactly the same. Same words and same tones.
I been studying a few of his videos very interesting science and art
Yeah, I was looking for some new and original thoughts too.
could not agree more. precisely spot on.
Reading Asimov''ll do it to any PHDUDE
I love listening to Michio... his thoughts are so coherent, fluid and can be easily understood.
Really....way off the mark...can’t connect the dots that we are already being visited by aliens.
@@MultiBikerboy1 🤣
A little simplistic at times, but he opens ideas that most people don't realize about our daily universe. But he glazes over critical concepts and this to connect some of his larger concepts. But he is a good listen, I used to listen to him in the early 90's on the Art Bell coast to coast am radio show.
@@MultiBikerboy1 that was just an analogy. He gave us an example of how you can be completely oblivious to things you haven't even thought of yet.
@@snowsanta7 all it needs is a bit of common sense. We are either being visited by aliens or not. If not then a hell of a lot of pilots military and civilian plus air traffic controllers who report silent flying discs are making it all up which is worrying in itself.
This podcast i find most interesting specially for me after elon musk podcast it was so so good conversation.Michio kaku is ONE OF MY FAVORITE PHYSICISTS.
I went back into your archives for this one. Lex was wide eyed listening to this brilliant mind :) I was lucky enough to meet Dr Kaku after one of his entertaining talks many years ago. As a futurist, his visions might sound outlandish to some; I assure you, he is well grounded in his reasoning with a deep understanding of our trajectory as a species. I imagine his predictions will be a collection of beautiful files in the near future where many of the things he said will have come to fruition. His true wisdom will play out many years from now.
Michio and Lex are the kings of never making eye contact when they talk. Lol
Even I don't like it, but I am not as intelligent as they are lol
For me its hard to keep eye contact if you are "downloading" information form your brain and try to explain complex concepts. Its way easier with everyday smaltalk topics though.
End Hai 😅🔥
Many great thinkers do.
Podcasts are for listening. Just like the radio. You don't really need to see them talk.
He speaks in a comedic and highly intelligent way at the same time.
@@jaunty_tunes How am I racist?
He had me laughing unreasonably hard more than once. He almost has the comedic timing of Mitch Hedberg.

@@tyblu7667 It's ok its just something I noticed, you don't have to notice it too. Life is subjective. Relax. I love Mitch Hedberg as well as Michio Kaku. Follow what you love.
Neil Degrasse could probably learn a lot from this guy on how he does interviews, he does not constantly interrupting you and he does not try to belittle you while he is answering or giving knowledge
I love Michio Kaku, he's my absolute favorite scientist!
Michio naturally talks like he’s recording a monologue for a show..
@Adam Watson I honestly cant tell if you're sarcastic or not.
I think it's because he's constantly being interviewed on the same topic, I've seen quite a few of his interviews and they are very similar, even using the same jokes. He's awesome though.
he's mostly a show man...
@Enter the Bragn’ got a better idea?
Yes, everything he says sounds scripted. Interesting but scripted and not so natural. Would love to see him loose a bit. His ego is evident as well
What an incredible mind. His book, Physics of the Impossible, is in large part the reason I went back to school, and will be recieving my bachelor in CS in a few months. Great interview!
Yeah he's got some imagination
He’s a great salesman with no
Substance other than his delivery
Good for you, be proud of yourself for your bachelors in Computer Science. it's a different world the more you know about
computers.
He's a psycho ,calls for murder as a solution ,not nonlethal means,how is that an incredible mind?More likely a diseased mind,dead men tell no tales
@@jessethompson4019 did you seriously just ask how does he have an incredible mind? The guy is a genius. He's literally one of the smartest people alive.
Got any sources for your claims?
Michio Kaku is so likeable. Completely different from all the scientists and experts we have been subjected to in the last few years.
Your programs are never boring to watch. Can't wait to see your next one!
I can listen to him for hours. He’s a great scientist, and an exceptional story teller. He’s way of simplifying complex topics reminds me of Brian Greene.
It almost seems like he’s not intentionally over simplifying things
He is not a scientist, he is a speculating philosopher. Nothing wrong with that, but don't call it science, which requires to be experimental and falsifiable. String theory and multiverse theory do not qualify. His ideas have no more validity than that of a metaphysics philosopher.

Fantastic job by Lex in keeping up and allowing the conversation to grow.
Dude, I love your Lenny Bruce vibe. Seriously. 💜 Michio Kaku; a lifelong inspiration Yoda.💜💜
I met him after a lecture he gave in Texas. He is an exceptional person and really a nice guy! What a gift he is to the world. I've read all his books except the most recent one.
You should interview michio again but push him to answer questions that he doesn't usually delve into! You, if anyone, can do it Lex
This man is a gift to humanity 🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I could listen to this dude talk for hours. The one question me and my friends would ask ourselves when we were in college is why there is something rather than nothing.
it's funny that we think the default state should be "nothing" and have a hard time accepting the default state might be "something". but we'll never really know
One of my favorite scientists. I could listen to Michio Kaku for hours. Great job fellas.
Absolutely loved this. Depressed it ended at an hour. Lex you're a gem bud.

@@joeroganpodfantasy42 Thats because the bulk of his knowledge is theory bound to mathematics that your mind couldn't even begin to comprehend because it lacks the pre-requisites of the pre-requisites of the pre-requisites...Its not his fault you're exponentially less intelligent than he is. Do you think his 300 level courses and lectures are this speech over and over? Gotta love the Joe Rogan bois!!
@@briancam_2000 His opposition logic behind Cassini was very much centered around the delivery system of the experiment and NOT in any way an anti-nuclear or anti-science stance. He even gave a suggestion for a safer plan that would still allow the scientific experiments to go forward. He was opposed to NASA's methods and how they assess risk. We all know the tragedies that have occurred due to the bureaucracy of NASA, specifically involving SRB's. Seems pretty reasonable to consider what would happen should launch fail and 70+ lbs of Pu is rained down onto civilization. I am glad we launched Cassini and glad its' launch didn't fail. We've learned so much from it. He is no fraud, and you may want to learn to express yourself better. You come off as a bit unhinged. Who types like that lol! :)
This interview is completely mind blowing! Thank you Lex for bringing Mr. Kaku to us. One example of this mind blowing information is-- 34:10 - 36:00 ....this is wild!!
I really enjoyed this conversation with Michio. Here's the outline:
0:00 - Introduction
1:14 - Contact with Aliens in the 21st century
6:36 - Multiverse and Nirvana
9:46 - String Theory
11:07 - Einstein's God
15:01 - Would aliens hurt us?
17:34 - What would aliens look like?
22:13 - Brain-machine interfaces
27:35 - Existential risk from AI
30:22 - Digital immortality
34:02 - Biological immortality
37:42 - Does mortality give meaning?
43:42 - String theory
47:16 - Universe as a computer and a simulation
53:16 - First human on Mars
"Monkeys know they are monkeys. Dogs are confused." Haha I love Michio Kaku
Croaking Frog
That made me crack up too lol
Michio is an excellent example of an effective communicator. #sciencecommunication
I like professor's thinking and the way he explains things in layman's terms. He is awesome.
I love Lex Fridman's focused, calm and utterly relaxed demeanor. Almost emotionless, but not in a bad way; It's more like he's just very in control of emotion.
He's a clone. Lol
Joe Rogan docet.
I remember Michio talking about science and future on Discovery Channel or something similiar years ago - I loved watching him when I was a kid. And I still do, his insights are as fascinating and inspiring as they were back then!
I grew up watching him host shows about space as a child. This guy is the reason I fell in love with space. He is so skilled at explaining big things for a small mind. Love this guy
Great interview! I used to run into him all the time on the Upper West side a few years ago when I lived in NYC.
I think we lived in the same building. He was always such a lovely man and gentleman. More excited to meet him than all of the other celebs I have met. The man is a genius.
Did you also meet Jim Norton?
Bullshit. Pictures or it never happened smhh👺👺👺
Michio was the only physicist that ever caught my attention out of all of the ones TV showcased in the 2000s: his way of speaking in lighter terms
Talks about space exploration and space science makes me more interested in life, it's a blessing that we can listen to such talks and almost for free due to UA-cam
Michio is a gem. Great educator for science and inspiration.
Great at teaching a theory like aliens are just like squirrels and will find us merely boring naive and annoying. And then they will probably f>
I love hearing Michio Kaku talk. It's so inspiring ☺ so glad we have humans capable of reaching such awesomeness and intelligence
That is correct but don't forget all humans have that capability to reach inside their consciousness but they are operating on low frequency and vibrations!
Love the work you do. So important. Thanks for helping me learn and do more for others.
Dang I wish this one was longer!
We need a part 2, Michio blew my mind away in under an hour even after I've delved into these topics many times.
Definitely!
I can literally listen to him all day.
The way Michio Kaku speaks, it feels like I can listen to him for hours without losing attention 😌 Amazing!!
Lex sounds so excited and energetic! glad i have a cup of coffee w/ me :)
One of the best podcasts episodes on earth
Michio: “Let me ask you a question.”
*asks question*
*answers own question*
That's teacher for you.
I understand the joke, but Lex really answered the questions Michio asked. Or at least he tried. This means, the questions were not rhetorycal. I am not taking out the fun of your commnet
sapio bronte he still answered them before he had a chance to respond most of the time, although lex did go on to add input
It's not intend to get the other side to think. Jesus Christ you kids need to get off your devices.
N.G.T. debates himself. They're so smart that we dont realize how narssitic (sp) they are. Genius.
Michio is one my favorite physicists out there and a personal favorite. He was one of the people that inspired me to follow my engineering career. I met him for his future of humanity book tour in Chicago. Great guy and great book. God bless.
Wow, great. Yeah I loved his "universe in a nutshell", crazy it's now a decade old.
I would love to know what he thinks about the mindblowing improvements in AI that happened this year.
Really? Haven’t you noticed that he repeats the same shit over and over in all of this talks ? So you like hearing the same story over and over ? This guys is the worst…
@@stevendorath7268 If you meant me: I did realized that years ago and then almost forgot about him. This was the first recent one I watched in years.
But michio is a ignorant dumb ass. Knows nothing about communication theory.
I read Michio's book Visions to my son when he was around 7 or 8. It inspired him, too. He had thousands of questions I had to answer. He learned there is a future and what it might look like. He also learned it's gonna be damned fun and interesting to be a part of it. He's now a tech lead for a telecom company. I imagine Michio had a great impact on many of today's engineers and scientists.
THANK GOD FOR LEX FRIDMAN! GREAT JOB LEX!!! ALWAYS
I wish this was longer
Michio is a walking monologue
He's too scared to try Mushrooms or DMT. I'd love Michio Kaku to do a Scientific DMT study. Connect him to an IV drip and send him off into the Cosmos for an hour discussing string theory with Machine Elf's
I used to read his books, honestly had forgotten how great he is.
LOL. Never said "uhm" once.
That's seriously the perfect way to describe him. He has this showman like persona and it's simply that he has been giving these takes all the time, ergo, the walking monologue.
Perhaps a monologue, but it sure is exponentially better than a dialogue between two morons.
I don't recall to when exactly was the last time I'd watch a whole interview lasting more than 15-20minutes straight without interruption. and especially at 2:30 am. but I just couldn't stop this ! amazing talk Michio & Lex. thank you guys.

"Dogs are confused. Dogs think that we are a dog. That we're the top dog, and they're the underdog." -haha

Michio's the one who's confused. Dogs aren't dummies. We don't look like a dog, smell like a dog, act like a dog. They know we're a different critter, just like they know a bird isn't a dog.
@@tiny_toilet sorry, but you're the confused one. What he's talking about, like most of his answers, is supported by science. In this case, canine psychology. There have been experiments carried out as to dog behavior comparing humans to fellow dogs. What he is saying is accurate, dogs think of people as part of their pack. Next time, don't be an idiot
@@danzai They think of people as part of their pack, yes, but they don't think we are actually dogs like them. They just accept anyone as their pack, and they love humans, it's literally in their genes. What Kaku is saying there, shouldn't be taken literally, he is just making a point.
I'm confused.. my dog is just fine.
I remember when UA-cam first came out. I thought it was a stupid idea. Watching videos like this without having to travel to public speaking events, boy was I stupid.

It's scary ngl
I remember once in a interview Kaku was asked if he thinks Math is hard…he said Math can be hard for everybody but he was curious enough about the universe that he didn’t let that problem stop him so he hit the books for hours and hours and the more he spent time working through these math problems the easier it got and the better he could understand some of the things that makes the universe appear as it is.
The more math I did, the harder it got! So, I found an autistic room-mate. He would do my home-work and I would button his shirt and tie his shoes. I then made A's in math class.
