Michio Kaku: String Theory | AI Podcast Clips

00:00:00.000 | And you see, string theory is a multiverse theory.

00:00:05.440 | So people say, first of all, what is string theory?

00:00:08.400 | String theory simply says that all the particles we see in nature, the electron, the proton,

00:00:13.040 | the quarks, what have you, are nothing but vibrations on a musical string, on a tiny,

00:00:18.640 | tiny little string.

00:00:19.640 | You know, G. Robert Oppenheimer, the creator of the atomic bomb, was so frustrated in the

00:00:25.760 | 1950s with all these subatomic particles being created in our atom smashers that he announced,

00:00:33.120 | he announced one day that the Nobel Prize in physics should go to the physicist who

00:00:38.800 | does not discover a new particle that year.

00:00:43.160 | Well today we think they're nothing but musical notes on these tiny little vibrating strings.

00:00:47.880 | So what is physics?

00:00:49.880 | Physics is the harmonies you can write on vibrating strings.

00:00:53.560 | What is chemistry?

00:00:55.400 | Chemistry is the melodies you can play on these strings.

00:00:59.840 | What is the universe?

00:01:01.920 | The universe is a symphony of strings.

00:01:05.340 | And then what is the mind of God that Albert Einstein so eloquently wrote about for the

00:01:10.640 | last 30 years of his life?

00:01:13.240 | The mind of God would be cosmic music resonating through 11-dimensional hyperspace.
