Big Thinkers - Michio Kaku [Theoretical Physicist]


Big Thinkers is a former ZDTV (later TechTV) television program. It featured a half-hour interview with a "big thinker" in science, technology, and other fields. Interviews were filmed in a 16:9 format and intercut with public domain material from the Prelinger Archives. This archival footage (mostly film clips from the 1940's and 50's) was used to create visual metaphors highlighting the speaker's points. This episode features Michio Kaku. He is a Japanese American theoretical physicist specializing in string field theory, and a futurist. He is a popularizer of science, host of two radio programs and a best-selling author.

Dr. Michio Kaku, Theoretical Physicist: Fukishima Daiichi Nuclear Facility is a "Ticking Time Bomb"


Dr. Michio Kaku, Theoretical Physicist: Fukishima Daiichi Nuclear Facility is a "Ticking Time Bomb" The Japanese government is trying to calm fears about radiation levels and food safety in the region around the heavily damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power facility, even as it has raised the severity rating of the crisis to the highest possible level. "Radiation is continuing to leak out of the reactors, the situation is not stable at all," says Dr. Michio Kaku, professor of theoretical physics at the City University Of New York and the City College of New York, in an interview on Democracy Now! April 13. "The slightest disturbance could set off a full scale melt down at three nuclear power stations—far beyond what we saw at Chernobyl."

2011 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate: The Theory of Everything


Can the entire universe be explained with a single, unifying theory? This is perhaps the most fundamental question in all of science, and it may also be the most controversial. Albert Einstein was among the first to envision a unified theory that could account for the behavior of all matter and energy in the cosmos, but a definitive solution has eluded physicists to this day. As the 21st century progresses, "string theory" remains the leading candidate to be the "theory of everything"—although some have come to question whether string theorists are on the right track. Still others doubt that a "theory of everything" exists at all—and consider the search for such a theory an outdated philosophy of our search for cosmic truths. Join Director of the Hayden Planetarium Neil deGrasse Tyson as he hosts and moderates six of the world's leading voices in this great scientific debate. Panelists: Dr. Katherine Freese, professor of physics at the University of Michigan Dr. Jim Gates, professor of physics at the University of Maryland-College Park Dr. Janna Levin, professor of physics and astronomy at Barnard College Dr. Marcello Gleiser, professor of physics and astronomy at Dartmouth College Dr. Brian Greene, professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University Dr. Lee Smolin, theoretical physicist at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics The talk was recorded at the American Museum of Natural History on March 7, 2011.

Stephen Hawking's Mind Reader and Big Bang Theory Cameo


Stephen Hawking has proven again this week he may still be the most theoretical physicist in the universe. Hawking has lent the use of his nervous system's gray matter to a San Diego-based company that produces the iBrain, a device that endeavors to read minds. The iBrain monitors a single channel of electrical brain waves and interprets the data into information doctors and researchers can use to diagnose conditions like sleep apnea, depression and autism. Dr. Hawking hopes that it may lead to future treatment for ALS and other neurological diseases. The physicist also shared something on CBS's The Big Bang Theory this week, showing up ultimate Hawking groupie, Shelton Cooper. Using voice work he insisted on generating himself, Hawking takes cooper down a few pegs by informing him he made a math error in an important research paper about the Higgs Boson particle. An understanding of Black Holes, AND great comedic timing—even characters like Cooper may have work to do before they get in the same league as Hawking.

OPPENHEIMER LECTURE: The Higgs Particle: Pivot Of Symmetry And Mass


Gerardus 't Hooft Professor of Theoretical Physics, Utrecht University, Netherlands ------------------------ Our theoretical understanding of the sub-atomic world would not be complete without the Higgs particle. Sometimes called "The God Particle", this very special particle generates the differences between the fundamental particles and it gives them mass, but until shortly it went undetected. Of course, in science we use different words. In this lecture it is explained what this mysterious object really is and why it is needed in our theories, even if it has little to do with God. Using the most powerful particle accelerator in the world, the LHC, physicists for the first time have the tools to produce and observe this particle in detail. Is it as it was predicted? Are there whole families of Higgs particles? The LHC has not yet reached its full power. Will it provide us with more clues or mysteries about the sub-atomic world? ------------------------ physics.berkeley.edu

String Theory Landscape - Alexander Westphal (SETI Talks)


SETI Talks archive: seti.org One of major advances of string theory in recent years was an understanding that vacuum solutions with potentially viable four-dimensional cosmology come in a plethora of an incredibly large and rich 'landscape' of string theory vacua. The number of possible vacua and, in turn, types of Universes, may exceed 10 to the power 1000. This progress was enabled by finding ways to give mass to ('stabilize') the moduli. The moduli are the typically 100 to 1000 massless scalar fields which are associated with deformations of extra dimensions required by string theory. Moduli stabilization also gave rise to the first well-controlled string theory constructions of cosmological inflation, a very early burst of exponential expansion of the universe needed to produce its large scale and spatial flatness. Inflation seeds density perturbations, which are the source of all visible structure in our universe, as well as gravitational wave fluctuations. If the gravitational wave fluctuations are seen (eg by the PLANCK satellite), this would tell us that inflation took place at an energy scale only 100 times belowPlanck scale of quantum gravity and maybe string theory itself. We may then hope for leftover imprints from the fundamental theory in high-scale inflation. Dr. Westphal will show how string theory has been recently found to push towards deviations from quantum field theory results for high-scale models of inflation which produce detectable gravitational <b>...</b>

Stephen Hawking CERN Lecture: The Creation of The Universe Part 1


Part 2: www.youtube.com Professor Stephen Hawking, rightfully regarded as one of the greatest theoretical physicists of modern times, gives us an exciting lecture at the heart of theoretical physics at the experimental epicenter of this research, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Hawking's work in searching for the theoretical framework for producing a Unified Field Theory has lead him to some truly remarkable conclusions in his career which paralells that of CERN's search for elementary particles and the forces that govern them. His work with Roger Penrose on the singularity conditions that arise in General Relativity lead to an extention of Roger Penrose's theorem for non-rotating, uncharged black holes to a universe where the Big Bang itself did not arise from a spacetime singularity. His independant work on Virtual Particle-Antiparticle Pairs around a black hole event horizon has lead to the famous Hawking Radiation scenario, which still awaits experimental and observational experimentation. Hawking's own expertise in Black Hole Thermodynamics along with his work(an infamous bet) with the renowned Physicist Kip Thorn are classic physic's stories. Hawking's popular science books and TV shows are works of art in and of themselves. Hawking's latest work has been involved in M-Theory, particularly in the case of modelling the geodesics of spacetime with relation to Feynman's Sum over Histories Path Integral formalism in Quantum Field Theory.

Baths and Quarks: Solitons explained


In 'Baths and Quarks', theoretical physics expert David Tong explains solitons and their effect on quarks and protons. 'Solitons' -- solitary waves which can be seen as bubble rings in the bath -- make it impossible for quarks and protons to be separated, thus holding together the universe, he says. "Baths would be so much more relaxing if they weren't so interesting. Bubble rings - there's something strange and unnatural about these objects - so structural where you wouldn't expect to see structure. When I get out of the bath and pull the plug, there's a world of water that drains away - a vortex - it's very similar to the bubble rings, and objects like these may just hold the key to one of the most important problems in particle physics [relating to quarks and protons]. My name is David Tong. My job is to understand the beautiful things that I see in the world around me. But to describe them properly, I have to understand them in the language in which nature is written."

Want to Upload Your Brain? Science Fiction Comes to Life


Complete video at: fora.tv Professor of Computational Neuroscience at MIT Sebastian Seung discusses how the study of "connectomes", a comprehensive map of neural connections in the brain, can help turn science fiction into reality. Seung proposes that through the study of the connectome we can test whether ideas such as freezing ourselves or uploading our brains on to computers are even possible. ---- MIT professor Sebastian Seung has found what he calls the nexus of nature and nurture: the "Connectome", or the network of connections between neurons in the human brain. He will take you inside his ambitious quest to model the Connectome, which, if successful, would uncover the basis of personality, intelligence, memory and disorders such as autism and schizophrenia. McGill University Professor of Psychology and Neurosciences Daniel Levitin wrote in The Wall Street Journal that Connectome is "the best lay book on brain science I've ever read." Dr. Seung is Professor of Computational Neuroscience in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences and the Department of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Adjunct Assistant Neurobiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston. He studied theoretical physics with David Nelson at Harvard University, and completed postdoctoral training with Haim Sompolinsky at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Before joining the MIT faculty, he was a member of the Theoretical Physics Department at Bell Laboratories. Dr <b>...</b>
