Early life and Education
Kaku was born on January 24, 1947 in San Jose, California to Japanese parents. As a child, he took judo lessons.[4] When he grew older, he graduated from college with a summa cum laude degree.[5]
Works
Kaku is famous for his major field, theoretical physics.[6] Sci-fi is another field Michio studied.[7] Some episodes of Sci-Fi Science, for instance, ponder alien invasion of the planet, or a new solar system. The string theory is another topic that Kaku studied.[8]
He has also studied the future.[9] Futurists like Kaku often use PPPW to evaluate the future. The "three Ps and one W" represent, to futurists, "plausible", "possible", and "preferable". The "W" stands for "wildcard"(random) events.[10]
A science populariser, or a populariser of science, is one who captures the scientific method and accuracy to preserve the language in the name of science.[11] Michio Kaku wrote several books including Physics of the Impossible and Hyperspace, Beyond Einstein, and Parallel Worlds.[12]
