Michio Kaku on Overrating IQ, String Theory Explained, and Staying Curious | Ep. 512
Michio Kaku is a theoretical physicist, famed futurist, on-air personality, professor of physics, and bestselling author. His latest book is The God Equation: The Quest for a Theory of Everything.
What We Discuss with Michio Kaku:
❓ Why do we need a theory of everything, and what set a young Michio Kaku on the path to search for it?
❓ How we’re all born scientists with a yearning to understand the world around us, and what tends to dampen this enthusiasm for most of us before we even make it to adulthood.
❓ Why physicists seeking to wrap their minds around a universal string theory are more like daydreaming composers than academic blackboard warriors.
❓ The four fundamental forces of a universe governed by string theory, and the challenge of discovering how they fit together — and proving it.
❓ What makes the human brain so unique in the animal kingdom, and why Michio thinks IQ is a woefully incomplete way of measuring intelligence.
❓ And much more…
When an eight-year-old Michio Kaku read a newspaper obituary for the recently departed Albert Einstein, the caption underneath a picture of a book on his desk declared that the greatest scientist of our time could not finish this book. This sparked a curiosity in him that prompted an attempt to build an atom smasher in his garage, captured the attention of nuclear pioneer Edward Teller and won him a scholarship to Harvard, and led to the pursuit of what Einstein couldn’t finish: a unified theory of everything.
On this episode, theoretical physicist, famed futurist, on-air personality, professor of physics, and bestselling author Dr. Michio Kaku joins us to talk about his latest book, The God Equation: The Quest for a Theory of Everything. Here, we discuss the compelling music of string theory, why we’re all born scientists but few of us reach adulthood with this yearning to understand the world around us intact, why IQ is a criminally incomplete way to gauge human intelligence, how humans might explore the universe in the not-too-distant future without breaking the current rules of physics, how recent discoveries seem to validate certain forces that string theorists have predicted all along, and much more. Listen, learn, and enjoy!
