Would you dispute Feynman's assertion? Is experimental verification essential?

How do you respond to the rivals to string theory? Or how to be the next Einstein.

Why might there not be different laws that govern different universes?

Is string theory falsifiable? The 5 ways.

What do you think about Stephen Hawkings cosmological assertions?

You're a professed agnostic. Please explain what that means to you.

Is there a step before a grand unified theory? The physics desert and Supersymmetry.

Dr. Michio Kaku — theoretical physicist, bestselling author, acclaimed public speaker, renowned futurist, and popularizer of science. As co-founder of String Field Theory, Dr. Kaku carries on Einstein’s quest to unite the four fundamental forces of nature into a single grand unified theory of everything.Support our Sponsor LinkedIn Jobs!

Beyond his numerous bestselling books, he has also been a featured columnist for top popular science publications such as Popular Mechanics, Discover, COSMOS, WIRED, New Scientist, Newsweek, and many others.His new book THE GOD EQUATION is about the quest to unify the rules governing the heavens and the Earth, and the ultimate challenge: achieving a monumental synthesis of the two remaining theories—relativity and the quantum theory. This would be the crowning achievement of science, a profound merging of all the forces of nature into one beautiful, magnificent equation to unlock the deepest mysteries in science: What happened before the Big Bang? What lies on the other side of a black hole? Are there other universes and dimensions? Is time travel possible? Why are we here? What’s at stake is nothing less than our conception of the universe.
