No some of his lectures start off with how he built an atom-smasher in high school and how he got a scholarship from Harvard because of it and there is really no reason to include that information except for him to suck his own dick.

He's just trying to establish mood.

It seems like he's just trying to be a smarty pants prick, IMO.

Yes.. clearly all autobiographical introductions only ever exist for the speaker to suck their own dick and not to give the audience a sense of connection/relation of how inspiration on a subject can be used to paint a path toward increasing achievement..

That in no way makes me feel like a stupid piece of shit, nor do I think it would make most people feel like that...

Guess thats why he's so well known.. cuz his whole media approach is based around making everyone feel like a stupid piece of shit.. Maybe you just are? All he ever does is try to break complex ideas down for the layman. Perhaps go study something else?

Well you must not know how difficult that is then. And to the guy above me, my IQ is VERY high.

You're kind of a chode. Ok lets say he leaves that stuff out of his lectures, what information are you intellectually missing out on? Zippo.

None, but like we've already said, it's just a little personal bit he throws in to get the audience engaged, many(most?) speakers do it...

I guess you're right but I think he could use something of a less intimating anecdote. My skills tend more towards the verbal side so of course I am jealous and confounded by such an anecdote. Hey all and all I love his lectures!

Holy crap this Kaku guy is a dipshit. Schrodinger's Cat was a critical thought experiment designed to show that the Copenhagen school of quantum mechanics has problems describing classical states. Here he's going on about a dichotomy concerning God vs dinosaur wavefunctions happening in the room. Schrodinger could have put a dinosaur in the box instead and the point still would have been lost on Kaku apparently.
Fuck this guy seriously. He's doing the public a major disservice. He should go join the Ramtha cult.

I think our society has bigger problems than what i might or might not think of someone on a forum.
