    Watching this 10 years later I have to say I really like his optimism and faith in the human race to make these technologies available to the masses.

    Why after 11 years, I finally get this video in my queue? It makes me wonder what else is in Youtube that I'm missing. Thank you Dr. Kaku.

    He always makes people laugh before he does the speaking. This is because he knows that laughter makes a person's mind open to be more receptive. This guy is a genius for sure.

    I watched this lecture so many times in 2010.. can’t believe we’re only 6 years away now.

    Fantastic , though I am a Commerce graduate I could understand all he spoke with my basic knowledge of Physics learnt in my Pre-Degree Course.I am glad that I am one among who could listen to a brilliant lecture like this and thank to the internet's wonderful capabilities!

    The future is Big Brother. Most people will fall in love with Big Brother. This is how "scientific" totalitarianism works. It offers you the whole world, in exchange for your soul.
  • @GuiDduck
    he's so optimistic about this total catastrophe

    Michio Kaku......it is SAD and selfish that you r not in communication via television to all students of every age and sharing your thoughts and current research. Seriously it is needed that you share....now‼️ ✨💕✨💕✨💕✨💕💕💕✨💕✨💕

    Not even 10 years in the future and most of this can already be seen happening.

    Looks like he missed the lecture on George Orwell.
  • Exceptional material Mr. Kaku. Interesting, and your humor had me rotglmao! Our future as you explain, is becoming like the Sci-fi thriller, "Minority Report". The excelling Nano-Technology is incredible and I hope we proceed in the right direction with the power that our respective scientists harness. Great Lecture. Brilliant lad.
