Michio Kaku: This could finally solve Einstein's unfinished equation | Full Interview

“An equation, perhaps no more than one inch long, that would allow us to, quote, 'Read the mind of God.'” Subscribe to Big Think on YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvQECJukTDE2i6aCoMnS-Vg?sub_confirmation=1 Up next, Michio Kaku: The Universe in a Nutshell (Full Presentation) ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NbBjNiw4tk What if everything we know about computing is on the verge of collapsing? Physicist Michio Kaku explores the next wave that could render traditional tech obsolete: Quantum computing. Quantum computers, Kaku argues, could unlock the secrets of life itself: and could allow us to finally advance Albert Einstein’s quest for a theory of everything. 00:00:00 Quantum computing and Michio’s book Quantum Supremacy00:01:19 Einstein’s unfinished theory 00:03:45 String theory as the "theory of everything" and quantum computers 00:06:20 Quantum computers vs. digital computers 00:08:55 Real-world applications: Fertilizers, fusion energy, and medicine00:11:30 The global race for quantum supremacy 00:14:05 Moore’s Law collapsing 00:16:40 Quantum encryption and cybersecurity threats 00:19:15 How quantum computers work 00:21:50 The future of quantum biology 00:24:30 Alan Turing’s legacy 00:27:45 The history of computing 00:31:10 Quantum supremacy achieved: What’s next? 00:33:50 String theory explained00:38:20 Is the universe a simulation? 00:41:40 UFOs and extraterrestrial intelligence 00:45:15 Civilizations beyond Earth Read the video transcript ► https://bigthink.com/series/full-interview/michio-kaku-quantum/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=youtube_description ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive content, early, ad-free access to new releases, and more. https://www.youtube.com/@bigthink/membership/ ►Subscribe to Big Think on Substack Explore content that enlightens, inspires, and transforms. https://bigthinkmedia.substack.com/subscribe/ ►Get Big Think+ for Business Engage learners like never before with high-impact video microlearning from the biggest thinkers in the world. https://bigthink.com/plus/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=youtube_description ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Dr. Michio Kaku: Dr. Michio Kaku is the co-founder of string field theory, and is one of the most widely recognized scientists in the world today.
