Happy Birthday.

“In some sense, gravity does not exist; what moves the planets and the stars is the distortion of space and time.”
― Michio Kaku

Today is the birthday of a very famous theoretical physicist, Prof. Michio Kaku. He is the the Henry Semat Professor of Theoretical Physics in the City College of New York of City University of New York, a futurist, and a communicator and popularizer of science. He has written several books about physics and related topics; he has made frequent appearances on radio, television, and film; and he writes extensive online blogs and articles. He has written two New York Times Best Sellers, Physics of the Impossible (2008) and Physics of the Future (2011).
He has hosted several TV specials for BBC-TV, the Discovery Channel, and the Science Channel.

At Cubberley High School in Palo Alto, Kaku assembled an atom smasher in his parents’ garage for a science fair project. His admitted goal was to generate “a beam of gamma rays powerful enough to create antimatter.” At the National Science Fair in Albuquerque, New Mexico, he attracted the attention of physicist Edward Teller, who took Kaku as a protégé, awarding him the Hertz Engineering Scholarship. Kaku graduated summa cum laude from Harvard University in 1968 and was first in his physics class. He attended the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley and received a Ph.D. in 1972, and in 1972 he held a lectureship at Princeton University.

Prof. Kaku has had over 70 articles published in physics journals such as Physical Review, covering topics such as superstring theory, supergravity, supersymmetry, and hadronic physics. In 1974, along with Prof. Keiji Kikkawa of Osaka University, he authored the first papers describing string theory in a field form.

A collection of some websites which highlights his works, publications, and achievements are as follows :
