In my opinion, in the realm of science popularizers, Carl Sagan is number one, followed by NDT then Michio Kaku.

Those involved in science tend to be divided, in my experience, between those that detest the science popularizers and those that support them. I definitely support them.

I love what I do, and without being inspired by some of Carl Sagan's books and "the cosmos" tv series I honestly doubt I would have pursued science in the way that I have.

I am for the science popularizers. I understand disliking the way it makes people believe things simply because Science. But, honestly those people are gonna blindly believe anything anyway :shrug: I think a world where most people believe a botched version of the Big Bang theory (not the show...) is preferable to to blindly believing god made the world in seven days because a book said so.

You can lead a horse to water but can't make it drink. The ones that truly want to understand the discipline will.

My main qualm with Michio Kaku is how he sometimes misrepresents his ideas as facts.  I've seen documentaries where he describes what extra dimensional worlds would look like, and that is in the realm of science fantasy/fiction IMO.  He has books on the subject too I believe.  It is impossible to comprehend what anything in higher dimensions look like.  Any attempt to do so is pure speculation.  So in a way, I feel he is using his standing as a physicist to sell science fiction. :shrug: 

I found the documentaries he was in to be interesting though, so I'll give him that.

I agree completely. He totally misrepresents theories just to sell them.

Still I think it's better than more fucked up reality stars n stuff

i didn't say kaku taught me anything, i said he was an influence in exciting a personal scientific interest in me, one of many influences. for that reason i respect him, and he's probably done that for a lot of other people too. i know the wu tang clan have influenced people to become scientists, because they get fan mail from scientists about that exact thing. all i'm saying is that you're wrong to discredit someone's attempts at popularizing science by proclaiming their efforts are somehow toxic to society, just because you don't agree with how they conduct their information.

there are more important people to criticize. why the hell are you wasting time and attention on a scientist who's main passion is to incite scientific interest in society. why don't you criticize the oil companies or the textile industries or the automotive industries or the energy companies which are all seriously suppressing scientific advancement on massive scales, only to maintain the current paradigm and power structure. why don't you criticize the military industrial complex for sucking up the majority of our nation's wealth that could be better spent on improving our technology for the betterment of society, just as what michio kaku tries to talk about all the time mainly, and then gets derailed, criticized, misinterpreted, and misrepresented for things that are nothing but trivial in the bigger picture.

such is the society we live in :shrug:

Because this thread is about Michio Kaku. I came into it with an open mind with no real opinion on Kaku either way until I saw him spewing nonsense in one of the videos I watched.
