Michio Kaku

He is literally the coolest dude alive right now IMO.
He's pretty much my hero.
What are your opinions on him?

He's smart and interesting, but his ego is absolutely out of control.

I second that. Many many people know what he knows and are as smart as him yet he acts like a god.

He ain't that smart compared to someone like ed witten or terence tao. There are thousands and thousands of people that would make michio kaku look like mickey mouse. he's conceited as hell.

Science needs more public figures. The only way to get the attention of pop culture in our society seems to be to act in an imposing and self-righteous manner.

Does he really get the attention of pop culture? He seems to get just as much attention as a lame joke. He's a one-hit wonder to pop culture.

Clearly he does more so than any of the physicists quietly doing their research in labs, only ever heard from via scientific journals. Plenty of people who don't know dick about science know his name and some general concepts he pushes in his constant media appearances. In turn raising general awareness in the masses since people more easily identify with a familiar name.
What 'hit' exactly is he a 'one hit wonder' for that makes the rest of his academic carrier insignificant?

You got a point there.
Many people in his position seem to be in love with themselves a bit too much though. I'm not too sure he needs to be this way to gain attention.
But hey I guess I judged him cause I only look at his videos. Who knows who he really is. Maybe he's just an excellent showman.

Yeah, I don't think he's all that egotistical really, he just knows what he's talking about so it may come off that way.

People who do a little research/thinking before making highly generalized arguments. Not sure what i'm doing expecting either around here tho.
