This name is on eof the most leading names in the science community. He is author of several popular books on physics and related topics. He is the co-founder of THE STRING THEORY. He is a communicator and popularizer of science among the mass.
Born to japanese immigrant parents on January 24, 1947 Dr. kaku graduated from CUbberly High school in Palo Alto in 1964. He was awarded the prestigious Hertz Engineering Scholarship after his top of the class performance at National Science Fair in Albuquerque, New Mexico, that attracted the attention of Edward Teller, a notable physicist of that time.
Dr Kaku has dedicated 30 years of his life engaged in defining THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING which seeks to unify the four fundamental forces of our universe (Read my earlier blogs for this ). He is a fellow of American Physical Society and listed in American Men and Women of Science and Who's Who in Science and Engineering. Kaku is the author of several doctoral textbooks on string theory and quantum field theory and has written 170 articles in journals covering topics such as superstringtheory , supergravity, supersymmetry and hardonic physics. some of the most noteworthy books authored by Dr. Kaku are
1) Visions
2) Hyperspace (it was a best seller and was voted one of the best science book of the year)
3) Einsteins Cosmos
4) Parallel worlds
5) Beyond Einstein (co-authored by Jeniffer Thompson)
6) Physics of the Impossibles.
In 1999, Kaku was one of the scientists profiled in the feature-length film Me and Isaac Newton, directed by Michael Apted. It played theatrically in the United States, was later broadcast on national TV, and won several film awards.In 2005, Kaku appeared in the short documentary Obsessed & Scientific. The film is about the possibility of time travel and the people who dream about it. He also discussed the future of interstellar exploration and alien life in the Discovery Channel special Alien Planet as one of the multiple speakers who co-hosted the show, and Einstein's Theory of Relativity on The History Channel.
Kaku has also done something for gamers like us . In 2010, he began to appear in a series on the website Gametrailers.com called Science of Games, discussing the scientific aspects of various popular video games such as Mass Effect 2 and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.In his public speaking and media appearances he covered a wide variety of topics from kardashev scale to more esoteric subjects such as wormhole and time travel.
Kaku has also voiced his concerns on global warming ,climate change and international terrorism as serious threats in man's evolution from a Type 0 civilization to Type 1.
