Michio Kaku
| Correct! Congrats, OffC! Michio Kaku is a theoretical physicist with a special interest in string field theory and in science popularization. Born to Japanese immmigrant parents in San Jose, California in 1947, "At Cubberley High School in Palo Alto, Kaku assembled an atom smasher in his parents' garage for a science fair project." Kaku went on to graduate summa cum laude from Harvard, and to receive a PhD from UC. He has been in many television programs on science.
Please excuse what I hope will be a short delay. I have no further Faces in stock, and need to make some. |

You aren't going to mention that he believes extraterrestrials are visiting Earth? |

Thank you very much, OffC. Now I know something that I did not know just a few minutes earlier. That's a good thing.
Kaku's comments, though, are troublesome to me. He seems to be both relying on appeal to authority, and choosing as "authorities" people that are neither skeptical nor are scientists:"We're talking about generals, we're talking about airforce pilots, we're talking about governors of states, that claim, 'Hey, this is beyond our understanding of the laws of physics.'" | But that's okay, we're even now: I don't think string field theory is scientific theory. |
