If you're in physics, you create inventions, you create lasers, you create transistors, computers, GPS.","author":"Michio Kaku","tags":["money","you","investment "],"id":46208,"author_id":"Michio+Kaku"},{"text":"No one knows when a robot will approach human intelligence, but I suspect it will be late in the 21st century. Will they be dangerous? Possibly. So I suggest we put a chip in their brain to shut them off if they have murderous thoughts.","author":"Michio Kaku","tags":["thoughts","brain","late "],"id":48586,"author_id":"Michio+Kaku"},{"text":"The real bottleneck is software. Creating software can be done only the old-fashioned way. A human -sitting quietly in a chair with a pencil, paper and laptop- is going to have to write the codes... One can mass-produce hardware and increase it's power by piling on more and more chips, but you cannot mass-produce the brain.","author":"Michio Kaku","tags":["brain","inspirational","science"],"id":53978,"author_id":"Michio+Kaku"},{"text":"In science fiction, telepaths often communicate across language barriers, since thoughts are considered to be universal. However, this might not be true. Emotions and feelings may well be nonverbal and universal, so that one could telepathically send them to anyone, but rational thinking is so closely tied to language that it is very unlikely that complex thoughts could be sent across language barriers. Words will still be sent telepathically in their original language.","author":"Michio Kaku","tags":["2014","communication","language","telepathy"],"id":57578,"author_id":"Michio+Kaku"},{"text":"Originally, the burden of proof was on physicists to prove that time travel was possible. Now the burden of proof is on physicists to prove there must be a law forbidding time travel.","author":"Michio Kaku","tags":["time","law","time travel "],"id":69755,"author_id":"Michio+Kaku"},{"text":"It would take a civilization far more advanced than ours, unbelievably advanced, to begin to manipulate negative energy to create gateways to the past. But if you could obtain large quantities of negative energy—and that's a big “IF”—then you could create a time machine that apparently obeys Einstein's equation and perhaps the laws of quantum theory.","author":"Michio Kaku","tags":["advanced","albert-einstein","einstein","energy","future","quantum-mechanics","quantum-theory","science","space"],"id":71826,"author_id":"Michio+Kaku"},{"text":"So often, science fiction helps to get young people interested in science. That's why I don't mind talking about science fiction. It has a real role to play: to seize the imagination.","author":"Michio Kaku","tags":["science","mind","people "],"id":76902,"author_id":"Michio+Kaku"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":59,"pages":6,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
