Quotes from Michio Kaku

A careful analysis of the DNA within the mitochondria indicates that errors are indeed concentrated here. The hope is that one day scientists might use the cells' own repair mechanisms to reverse the buildup of errors in the mitochondriaand therefore prolong the cells' useful life.

la ley de Moore, que afirma que la potencia de computación se duplica cada dieciocho meses.

Los agujeros negros en el centro de las dos galaxias ejecutarán una danza de la muerte antes de colisionar y fusionarse finalmente.

Así, la unificación de las leyes de la mecánica cuántica no solo revelaba los secretos del universo, sino que también unificaba el árbol de la vida.

The corollary to the Cave Man Principle is that if you want to predict the social interactions of humans in the future, simply imagine our social interactions 100,000 years ago and multiply by a billion. This means there will be a premium placed on gossip, social networking, and entertainment

hurtling in all directions; he preferred the smooth creation of mass out of nothing. In other words, the universe was timeless. It had no end, nor a beginning. It just was.

Los humanos somos los únicos en todo el reino animal capaces de comprender el concepto de mañana

The notion that we live in a quiet, ordinary suburb of the galaxy was simple and comforting. But boy, we were wrong.

las leyes de la física admiten la posibilidad de abrir un agujero en el espacio concentrando suficiente energía en un punto, hasta que accedemos al espacio-tiempo espumoso y emergen agujeros de gusano que conectan nuestro universo con un universo bebé.

Todo individuo considera que los límites de su propia visión son los límites del mundo. ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER

The dinosaurs became extinct because they didn't have a space program. And if we become extinct because we don't have a space program, it'll serve us right. —LARRY NIVEN

The poet only asks to get his head into the heavens. It is the logician who seeks to get the heavens into his head. And it is his head that splits. —G. K. Chesterson W

la conciencia podría ser la base fundamental de toda la realidad.

there were two types of cosmologies in religion, the first based on a single moment when God created the universe, the second based on the idea that the universe always was and always will be. They

At the center of our own Milky Way lies a monster black hole whose mass is two to four million times that of our sun. It is located in the constellation Sagittarius. (Unfortunately, dust clouds obscure the area, so we cannot see it. But if the dust clouds were to part, then every night, a magnificent, blazing fireball of stars, with the black hole at its center, would light up the night sky, perhaps outshining the moon. It would truly be a spectacular sight.)

To create silicon chips, UV light is passed through a template that contains the blueprint for all the circuits on a chip. The UV light and a series of chemical reactions creates a pattern that is etched onto a silicon wafer, creating transistors on the chip.

possible for astronauts to lift impossibly heavy objects with ease.

Theoretical evidence is mounting to support the existence of the multiverse, in which entire universes continually sprout or "bud" off other universes. If true, it would unify two of the great religious mythologies, Genesis and Nirvana. Genesis would take place continually within the fabric of timeless Nirvana.

And at the speed of light, you have taken the fastest possible journey to the stars. From your point of view, the trip is instantaneous.

By mentally activating the power source, you can grab lightsabers from across the room with today's technology.

El reconocimiento de patrones, como ya hemos visto, es uno de los principales obstáculos para la inteligencia artificial.

starships of the future may have to spin, creating an artificial gravity via centrifugal forces in order to sustain human life.

Graphene consists of a single molecular layer of carbon atoms tightly bonded to form an ultra-thin, ultra-durable sheet. It is almost transparent and weighs practically nothing, yet is the toughest material known to science—two hundred times stronger than steel and stronger even than diamonds. In principle, you could balance an elephant on a pencil and then place the pencil point on a sheet of graphene without breaking or tearing it. As a bonus, graphene also conducts electricity.

Cuando le enseñaron a la esposa de Einstein el colosal observatorio y le dijeron que el telescopio estaba determinando la forma definitiva del universo, ésta respondió sin inmutarse: «Mi marido lo hace en el reverso de un sobre usado».
