    I like to think that he carry’s that piece of rubber everywhere and has it ready for this specific question
  • @iAZME
    I'm really sure he can explain quantum physics to a 5yo
  • @monkeywang9972
    This man is so cool. I appreciate science communicators who don’t sound or act condescending while explaining.
  • @nnyaleleng1556
    I can feel warmth and kindness in his voice.A good man.
  • @spaceboy69420
    This video (the original one, not this short) was the first time i actually understood the theory after trying to do so for about 4 months. After that he immediately became one of my favorite physics teacher
  • @semiprolific774
    I was once in a small fender bender on the interstate - no one was seriously injured. Michio Kaku was the first person on the scene and made sure everyone understood the basics of quantum mechanics before leaving and letting the first-responders load us into ambulances
  • @rosesandmilk
    The sign of a truly intelligent person is that they can explain any concept to anyone, knowing how to simplify to make it easier to understand, but also keeping it true.
  • @wolf.eye._-
    After he read the question I thought he was gonna say, "Well, I'm Michio Kaku and I AM a genius..." 😂
  • @karanaki_3256
    They say the deepest understanding is portrayed through the least amount of words!
  • @kinershah464
    During my school days, I once saw Michio Kaku's narration on Discovery Science that I started watching that channel and got into Science.
  • @DeepSkyStories
    I first heard Michio Kaku on an old late night radio show called 'Coast to Coast' with Art Bell. It was fascinating to here Michio talk about physics for 2 or 3 hours.
  • @mikemurr536
    I just love listening to him. What talent and skill he has to break it down so that I can understand. Such a brilliant man. Utmost respect to Dr. Kaku
  • being able to simplify any explanation for any level is a sign of deep and true understanding
  • @dmslidecancel
    Michio is a certified genius. He built his own nuclear reactor in his basement when he was 10. But String Theory is about as legit as Flat Earth Theory.
  • @NijeBitno72
    All fine and dandy until the question of "What are the strings made of?" is brought up 😅
  • @johnkaplun9619
    I love Michio Kaku and his passion for string theory. Its unfortunate theres zero evidence to support it.
  • @Nightbird.
    This man is a hero of mine. Ever since I discovered him on the Art Bell show. I would be honored to attend his classes. Thank you Dr. Kaku for all you do!
  • @kindcounselor
    The mark of a true genius is the ability to explain the complex, simply.
