Dr. Kaku is extremely wise and humble. Never gets insulted or bothered by others actions

[melcor]

It really bothers me when hosts do not act with grace and courtesy. This means this is how they are too in their homes. Notice how the host walks in so full of himself sitting hard on his chair without waiting for his guest to sit first. So disrespectful.

[paulmulenga]

Dr Kaku makes me feel like quiting my legal career and studying physics.

[matthewa]

My dog's name is Salt. And searching his name brought me here. And I'm glad I did 😌

Sir Michio Kaku, a Real Genius
Salute to Sir Michio

[quasar]

Anytime Dr. Kaku talks ..I am in wonder
Thx 🙏

[veronicarino]

Quit it with the Paris Hilton comments and show Dr.Kaku some respect mate. You’ve got a legend there and all you can say is how he is better looking than Paris Hilton? What an immature thing to say!

[driftanian]

I've seen many interviews where Micho Kaku explains how we could one day upload our minds and become digitally immortal but no one ever asked him if he would do it if it was possible now.. I guess he would :)

[blessingsfromspirit]

Not impressed with The interviewer... Paris Hilton??
I love Dr. Kaku’s theory about digital consciousness. It’s possible that they are already in digital consciousness…hadn’t thought about that..they could be in avatars themselves.
(I want an avatar!!)
Maybe the UFO’s are just aliens drones

[quasar]

My biggest interest would be in, Genetic engineering!! That field is going to be amazing

[elenabenjamin]

OMG! This is a beautifully explained and so encouraging 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[cryptochap]

Boss!! Fabulous interesting analysis, , unique, , respected, , Wow, Thank you for sharing, Superb.

[ianbanerji]

This guy Alex is super disrespectful. Sits down before Dr Kaku even sat. In his intro compares him to Paris Hilton. Super weirdo. His eyes lit up when Dr Kaku talks about "gucci, chanelle' LOL all he could relate to

[komalsadvilkar]

Outstanding👌 information 👍Amazing I like it 💕 Thanks for upload this video, @SALT Chanel

[mariohuirsezelarayan]

El Dr. Kaku es un maestro para quienes le seguimos, sufro por no poder escuchar o leer, subtitulado en español todo lo que dice.

[KVuong-rvhs]

I cannot stop listening to Dr. Michio Kaku.

[samuelyuri]

I think mister kaku should have made some predictions about us curing aging in the next decades. Good interview by the way.

[zwriter]

I always feel like im in a kids science class when he speaks..

[HassanWorld]

Alex, show more respect. This is a disrespectful intro.
