Dr. Michio Kaku - He is the face (and mind) of science! Dr. Kaku is a theoretical physicist, the Henry Semat Professor of Theoretical Physics at the City College of New York, a futurist, and a communicator and popularizer of science. He has written two New York Times Best Sellers: Physics of the Impossible and Physics of the Future. His most recent book was released in February and is titled, The Future of the Mind: The Scientific Quest to Understand, Enhance, and Empower the Mind. Additionally, Dr. Kaku is the host of the weekly, one-hour radio program Exploration.
You probably recognize Dr. Kaku from TV - he's basically been in every science related show that was released in the past 20 years!
Quotes from Dr. Kaku:
What we learn in this episode:
Did you know we can photograph a dream? Yeah, we talk about that!
What is telekinesis and will we ever have the capability to move objects with our minds?
Soon, we will be able to record our memories and then upload them to help people with diseases such as Alzheimer's.
Is it true that we only use a small portion of our brain?
Why do we remember scary dreams much more often than pleasant dreams?
