    How Michio Kaku, Alex Filippenko, Laura Danly, et al. earn their pay

    Answer? They do it by scaring the hell out of us with what Michio Kaku has perfected as the 6 second scare soundbyte (6SSS). How's that for an alliteration? If you really pay attention to these shows, you can see how the producers coach our friends to "really bring it home to the lay viewer...

    Are Black Holes the Ultimate Cleaners of the Universe?

    I watched a video of Michio Kaku saying that according the Einstein's equations of black holes, physics literally breaks down into nothing.

    Questions about Parallel Worlds by Michio Kaku: the big bang

    Is it me, or is Michio Kaku a total buffoon?

    I hear him speak and I can't help but think this man is full of nonsense, almost a crackpot, I might say. What surprises me is how deep he can go into his strange, absurd world - a real comedian. Does anyone in the scientific community give him any sort of real credence, anyways? I'm curious.
