1. Thanks for posting this.

A Trump voter at work asked yesterday me what the EPA is.
She's in her 50's.
She's a teacher.

Interesting factoid: Kaku's parents met in a Japanese internment camp.

2. Love Michio Kaku

Why would the PHD brains want to stay in a country that derides education..

We don't need no education.... All we are is just another brick in the wall....

4. Then there's the sad case of Michio Kaku.

BTW, he invented string field theory, as he never, ever fails to claim. He is a shameless self-promoter, name-dropper.

That isn't how science works.

He is also cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

Hey Michio, how is that string theory working out for you?

Oopsie! There comes a time in some physicists' lives when all they've attempted has come to naught. String field theory has gone nowhere, at least no verifiable predictions. What does one do then? Easy! Self promotion. Arrogance!
