Michio Kaku is one of the leading theoretical physicists in the world, attempting to finish Einstein’s dream of a theory of all fundamental forces, ie a “theory of everything”. He is a co-founder of the String Field Theory and a pioneer in Superstring Theory.
Michio Kaku taught at Princeton in 1973 as a research associate and is currently the Henry Semat Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Graduate Centre of the City University of New York. He graduated from Harvard and received his Ph.D from Berkeley.
He is the author of 9 books and over 70 scientific articles in physics journals. His technical books are required reading for scores of Ph.D graduate students in major physics laboratories around the world.
His book, Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps and the Tenth Dimension, was a national best-seller and voted as one of the best science books of the year by both the New York Times and the Washington Post. Hyperspace conveyed the vitality of physics and the excitement as scientists grapple with the meaning of space and time. It is an eye-opening glimpse into the ultimate nature of the universe. His book, Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century
, became an international best-seller, and was excerpted by The Sunday Times, translated and published in all major languages.
His natural and catching humour has made him a favourite guest at numerous national and international media programmes including: Nightlight, Good Morning America, BBC TV, The Learning Channel, the Today Show and the national Public Radio.
Dr. Kaku asserts that, using today’s knowledge, we can confidently predict the direction of science through the next century. Globally in demand as a speaker for business audiences, he successfully translates his predictions into the implications they have on business and society altogether.
