Why is Michio Kaku a fucking idiot?

But he built an atom smasher in high school and brags about it in every single interview and documentary!

Why OP?

>He thinks we could go back in time without causing paradoxes

girlslaughing.jar

>>1305976
Because he is an idiot to such a degree that the adjective fucking is aptly applied.

>>1305984
How is he an idiot to such a degree that the adjective 'fucking' is aptly applied?

>>1305981
>>1305983
These two attribute to my argument that he is a crackpot.

>>1305983

Well because of the paradoxes, it's impossible to travel back on your time line. It just can't happen.

OP is just mad that people listen to Kaku's opinions instead of his own.

This just in.

OP is a raging aspie that thinks everyone thinks like him.

Albert Einstein once said something very profound. He said the Universe could have been chaotic, random and ugly—and yet we have this gorgeous synthesis at the origin of the Universe itself, giving birth to the galaxies, the planets, DNA, life. Einstein said that the harmony he sees could not have been an accident. We’re not necessarily talking about the design of humans; we’re not talking about an intervention that gave us eyes, noses and ears, but where did the laws of physics come from?

As you know, I work in something called String Theory which makes the statement that we are reading the mind of God. It’s based on music or little vibrating strings thus giving us particles that we see in nature. The laws of chemistry that we struggled with in high school would be the melodies that you can play on these vibrating strings. The Universe would be a symphony of these vibrating strings and the mind of God that Einstein wrote about at length would be cosmic music resonating through this nirvana… through this 11 dimensional hyperspace—that would be the mind of God. We physicists are the only scientists who can say the word “God” and not blush.

The fact of the matter is that we are dealing with the cosmic questions of existence and meaning. Thomas Huxley, the great biologist of the last century said that the question of all questions for science and religion is to determine our true place and our true role in the Universe. For both science and religion it is the same question.

However, there has essentially been a divorce in the last century or so between that of science and the Humanists and I think that it’s very sad that we don’t speak the same language anymore.

Agreed, Pop-science is Shit!

He is awesome. Stfu

Enough said.

>>1305981
If I built a fucking particle accelerator in high school I'd fucking brag about it as well.

>>1305991
This.

Parallel dimension/universe shit happens to stop the grandfather paradox type stuff happening.

We're gonna time travel by 2057, according to this fantastic faggot. I herped so hard that I derped.

>>1305983

He never said that.

Proposed experiment: Put him in shipping container with 300 grams vaporized hydrogen sulfide. See if he can adjust "quantum reality" so that the gas doesn't shut down his mitochondria.

>>1306011
You fucking moron, Quantum teleportation has been achieved over a distance of 10 fucking miles.

>>1306043
It was such a microscopic thing that was teleported. If you tried a human, they'd end up all discombobulated.

Michio Kaku wants to grab some boobies.

pop science is dumbed down for non scientists. if, as a scientist, you are gonna watch it, remember its not made for you so you dont get pissy about it.

>>1305983
also he never said that. in his book physics of the impossible he just suggests an alternate theory to backwards time travel involving creating new timelines instead of creating paradoxes, which he also acknowledges.

RETARDS.

>>1306043
You sir, are the fucking moron. If you had read the whole article, you would of known it wasn't about if quantum teleportation is real, but how he thinks it works, which to him it's just like "magic". First off, the particle doesn't just disappear and reappear somewhere else, the information of that particle (or its state) is sent to another particle somewhere else, and it does not go faster than the speed of light.

>>1306053
...no one mentioned doing it on a human scale.

He implied QT was impossible/retarded.

He was wrong.

>>1306077
His exact words btw, "That's right it just disappears and reappears to someplace else."

>>1306090
Well in that case I'm with you.

Kaku's a tard.

Shame, for some reason I wanted to like him.

>>1306011

>The quantum teleportation protocol requires information to be sent from one trap to the other at a speed less than or equal to that of light.

Do these people even know what quantum entanglement is

>>1306077
>>the experiment found the "speed" of quantum entanglement has a minimum lower bound of 10,000 times the speed of light.

http://arxiv.org/abs/0808.3316

Seriously, how old are you? Why do you talk about things you know nothing of?

>>1306098
They are not changing the state of one particle, which if entangled with another would change instantaneously, they are copying the state of one atom and sending it to the other.

>>1306123
No they aren't. Do you faggots have any fucking clue? Just stfu.

>>1306109

Fucking this. Come on people, know what you're talking about before you try to discuss entanglement.

How to troll /sci/:
Denounce renowned pop-theorist
Watch it unfurl
???
PROFIT

>>1306140

The problem is that while OP and some people may be trolling, others actually think they are smarter than a physicist who built an atom smasher at home as a teenager.

agreed totally

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_teleportation
"Quantum teleportation, or entanglement-assisted teleportation, is a technique used to transfer quantum information from one quantum system to another. It does not transport the system itself, nor does it allow communication of information at superluminal (faster than light) speed. Neither does it concern rearranging the particles of a macroscopic object to copy the form of another object. Its distinguishing feature is that it can transmit the information present in a quantum superposition, useful for quantum communication and computation."

He's a smart guy, and he should know better, but really?

You're an idiot.

>>1306123
>>they are copying the state of one atom and sending it to the other

Holy shit fuck this I'm out. Too many kiddies with wikipedia think they know what they're talking about.

>>1306157
>Forget wikipedia gets information from reliable sources and acts as an information carrier.

>>1306191
>Implying I'm not just anal about how people discount what may be a reputable source that is merely channelled through wikipedia.

>>1305983

Multiverse.

information cannot travel through QT so seriously wtf does?

>>1306289
Some may not consider that time travel, and there's still a lot of unknowns about a multi-verse, but it's theoretically possible.
