Michio Kaku: String Theory Is The GOD Equation! (#361)

There is a God equation in mathematics; could there be a God
equation in physics?  This is the question to which Dr. Michio
Kaku has dedicated his life. Dr. Kaku is a theoretical physicist,
bestselling author, acclaimed public speaker, renowned futurist,
and popularizer of science. As co-founder of String Field Theory,
Dr. Kaku carries on Einstein’s quest to unite the four fundamental
forces of nature into a single grand unified theory. In this
episode of Into the Impossible, Dr. Kaku and I embark on a quest to
find this theory of everything. We discuss artificial intelligence,
string theory, God, agnosticism, how to become the next Einstein
and one of my favorite books – The God Equation. Tune in!  Key
