Black Holes, Big Bangs & Quantum Theory - Michio Kaku | Modern Wisdom Podcast 323

Michio Kaku is the Professor of Theoretical Physics in the City College of New York, a futurist and an author. What happened before the big bang? Is there a white hole on the other end of a black hole? Can time go backwards? Are there other dimensions? Are there other parallel universes? Is there a multiverse of universes? These are all questions that are beyond our current understanding and can't be resolved using the Standard Model and General Relativity. Michio Kaku is on the quest for The God Equation - a theory of everything and today, we get to find out how close he is to discovering it.

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Michio Kaku and Chris Williamson, Black Holes, Big Bangs & Quantum Theory - Michio Kaku | Modern Wisdom Podcast 323 explores michio Kaku Explains String Theory, Multiverses, And Humanity’s Cosmic Future Michio Kaku discusses his lifelong pursuit of a “God equation” – a single, mathematically consistent framework (string theory) that unites relativity and quantum mechanics and explains the origin and structure of the universe. He uses intuitive metaphors—music, bubbles, higher dimensions, Flatland, and fish in a pond—to explain strings, extra dimensions, and the multiverse, including ideas like pre–Big Bang universes, wormholes, and dark matter as higher string vibrations.
