Michio Kaku:
Michio Kaku is a renowned theoretical physicist, best-selling author, popularizer of science and media. He’s the co-founder of string field theory (a branch of string theory), and continues Einstein’s search to unite the four fundamental forces of nature into one unified theory, currently working on reconciling Quantum Mechanics and Relativity using String theory. Kaku is popular in mainstream media because of his knowledge and his accessible approach to presenting complex subjects in science, as well as his talent for supplying irrational, fear-mongering soundbites. While his technical writings are confined to theoretical physics, his public speaking and media appearances cover a broad range of topics, from the Kardashev scale to more esoteric subjects such as wormholes and time travel.
He also hosts the show Sci Fi Science: Physics of the Impossible (based on his book of the same name) on the Science Channel which debates the likelihood of science fiction tropes coming into reality. In doing so, he displays his ignorance of almost all branches of science outside of physics. He also hosts a public radio show (Exploration) which follows the same lines, with a smattering of geopolitics thrown in.
