In Jan. 2009, he signed a contract with the Science Channel to host a 12 part science series based on his best-seller, Physics of the Impossible. The series aired in Dec. 1, 2009. In the agreement, the Science Channel also asked Dr. Kaku to be the public face of the Science Channel. He also appears regularly of Fox News.
His book, Physics of the Future, became the basis of a 6 hour TV special on the Science Channel called Futurescape.
He also hosts his own national weekly radio program which airs in 130 cities in the US and also the KU national satellite band and internet, called Science Fantastic. It is the largest nationally syndicated science radio show on commercial radio in the United States, and perhaps the world.
He has also written for Time Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, Discover Magazine, New Scientist Magazine, Astronomy Magazine, Wired Magazine, and been quoted in Scientific American, the N.Y. Times, the Washington Post, the London Daily Telegraph, the London Times, the Philadelphia Inquirer, Wired Magazine, and Fast Magazine. He has written cover articles for New Scientist magazine, Astronomy magazine, and the Sunday London Times.
He has written several op-ed pieces for the Wall Street Journal, as well as the Boston Globe.
He frequently keynotes major business conferences about the next 20 years in computers, finance, banking, and commerce.
Comments from his speaking engagements include:
- “He’s a spellbinding speaker. He had the crowd mesmerized.”
- “He electrified the audience with his glimpse into the next 20 years.”
- “His visionary look into the next 20 years was the highlight of the conference.”
- “People couldn’t stop talking about his speech. It was truly a tour de force.”
- “This was the best speech at a business conference that I have ever heard.”
- “All our clients thoroughly enjoyed listening to this remarkable speaker.”
Physics of the Future: How Science will Change Daily Life by 2100 by Michio Kaku
Based on interviews with over three hundred of the world’s top scientists, who are already inventing the future in their labs, Kaku—in a lucid and engaging fashion—presents the revolutionary developments in medi cine, computers, quantum physics, and space travel that will forever change our way of life and alter the course of civilization itself.
Dr. Kaku’s astonishing revelations include:
* The Internet will be in your contact lens. It will recog nize people’s faces, display their biographies, and even translate their words into subtitles.
* You will control computers and appliances via tiny sen sors that pick up your brain scans. You will be able to rearrange the shape of objects.
* Sensors in your clothing, bathroom, and appliances will monitor your vitals, and nanobots will scan your DNA and cells for signs of danger, allowing life expectancy to increase dramatically.
* Radically new spaceships, using laser propulsion, may replace the expensive chemical rockets of today. You may be able to take an elevator hundreds of miles into space by simply pushing the “up” button.
Like Physics of the Impossible and Visions before it, Physics of the Future is an exhilarating, wondrous ride through the next one hundred years of breathtaking scientific revolution.
