Michio Kaku has made a name for himself as a world-leading theoretical physicist unafraid to speak his mind.
Kaku, the Henry Semat Chair and Professorship in theoretical physics at the City College of New York, has published more than 70 articles in physics journals on topics such as supersymmetry, superstring theory, supergravity, and hadronic physics.
His latest claim is likely to make waves in the world of science.
I have concluded that we are in a world made by rules created by an intelligence, Kaku says in a video produced by Big Think. To me it is clear that we exist in a plan which is governed by rules that were created, shaped by a universal intelligence and not by chance.
Big Think, a media site launched in 2007, has been described as YouTube for ideas. But its actually more like TED.
You can watch the video and see for yourself why Kaku believes science points to an intelligent creator who formed the universe. (Im certainly not going to try to explain it.)
Reasoning aside, Kakus conclusion is pretty is clear.
The final solution resolution could be that God is a mathematician, says Kaku. The mind of God, we believe, is cosmic music. The music of strings resonating through 11-dimensional hyperspace.
Ahhh. So that is why we are to “[speak] to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord” in Ephesians 5:19
The assertion that creation was a random and chance occurrence has always been too stupid for words. The Greeks, the wisest who ever walked this earth, understood this.
There is a cyclical harmony within the Universe. Patterns are everywhere from the Sunrise, to it’s decline in the evening. Trees and vegetation grow and decay. Religion, whose focus is faith and morals, is unnecessary to support and prove intelligent design, as it is intuitive.
Dr Michio Kaku is also a big believer in anthopogenic global warming.
I was wondering if anyone would mention that.
He’s a very smart guy but that’s a YUGE blind spot in his intellect.
and the bumble bee is a sign that God has a great sense of humor and irony...
The Greeks of Antiquity, infinitely wiser than we will ever be, understood this and had no need of religion to support it; since intelligent design is intuitive.
Kaku is more prominent than chair at the once-prominent, now-debased CCNY would indicate. He’s written three best sellers, and lacks Hawking’s uncanny ability to be constantly wrong. He’s a little goofy on issues of nuclear power and SETI, and is probably more noteworthy for being a spokesperson for science than for scientific accomplishments, but definitely light years above Bill Nye the Electrician Guy or Neil Degrasse Junior High Tyson
How excited would you get if there was a Unified Field Theory which predicts the masses of fundamental particles from the observable constants and whose dimensional structure matched the 12 tribes of Israel?
The main problem with a young earth is that it requires that God lied about the things that can be discovered from observing the universe He created. The problem with the Big Bang is that it requires infinities in the created universe.
There are two creation stories in Genesis for a reason. The first describes the creation of the universe out of nothing from the beginning. The second describes the creation of Adam and Eve who start CotUs salvation plan for the creatures that He created. So we can have an old universe and a young salvation plan at the same time. We will first focus on the creation of the universe out of nothing from the beginning over what we would measure as a long time.
This concept is supported by the Scriptures, and is also supported by the writings of the Hebrew sages:
According to the master Kabbalists, Rabbi Isaac of Acco, when counting the years of these [7000 year] cycles, one must not use an ordinary physical year, but rather, a divine year. The Midrash says that each divine day is a thousand years, basing this on the verse, A thousand years in Your sight are as but yesterday (Psalms 90: 4). Since each year contains 365 1/4 days, a divine year would be 365,250 years long. According to this, each cycle of seven thousand divine years would consist of 2,556,750,000 earthly years. This figure of two-and-a-half billion years is very close to the scientific estimate as to the length of time that life has existed on earth. If we assume that the seventh cycle began with the Biblical account of creation, then this would have occurred when the universe was 15,340,500,000 years old. This is very close to the scientific estimate that the expansion of the universe began some fifteen billion years ago.

During the six days of creation described in the first chapter, G-d did not actually create the world, but rather, created the ingredients which would allow the world to develop. It thus refers to the creation of all matter, along with space and time. It was during these six days that G-d brought the universe into being from absolute nothingness. After these six days of creation, G-d allowed the universe to develop by itself, renewing His creation each seven thousand divine years or 2.5 billion earthly years. All the laws of nature and the properties of matter had been fixed for all time, as it is written, He has established them forever; He has made a decree which shall not be transgressed (Psalms 148: 6). It is similarly written, Whatever G-d decrees shall be forever; nothing shall be added to it, and nothing shall be taken away (Ecclesiastes 3: 14).

Rabbi Acco made this calculation, based on the Torah, sometime between 1250 AD and 1340 AD more than 300 years before Sir Isaac Newton was born, and at least 600 years before Edwin Hubble proposed his theory of the expanding universe. The reason aligning the start of the seventh cycle of divine years with the second creation story is based on the rabbinical analysis described in Sefer Yetzirah: The Book of Creation in Theory and Practice. Suffice it to say, but the rabbis could not have been adjusting their analysis to conform the yet to be determined modern scientific value!
So this is our first measurement. More than 600 years ago, the Holy Scriptures, as analyzed by people who really cared about finding the truth in them, reveal the age of the universe we can observe today.
In the twentieth century AD, it became obvious that energy and energy states were quantized and could be emitted or absorbed only in discrete units. However, the theories and equations that were developed regarded space and time as continuous and thus infinitely divisible. As a result of not having a minimum space-time unit all of these theories postulate infinities within the physical universe that have not been observed.
The current Standard Model for Quantum Mechanics compensates for this through a process called renormalization in which one subtracts a big infinity from a smaller infinity to get a measured answer. The Big Bang Theory says the universe started as a singularity, then the laws of physics were suspended for a while as everything expanded at faster than the speed of light. Here the magic happens is clearly only a scientific theory because it is proposed by scientists.
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. (Daniel 12:4)
Since we are near the time of the end, knowledge has increased! The Unified Field Theory proposed by Burkhard Heim (1925-2001) is a completely discrete theory that is based on the quantization of areas in multiple dimensions. It treats the universe as an accounting system, which is clearly in consonance with the Holy Scriptures, as we shall see. Originally proposed with six dimensions; it was later expanded into 12 dimensions to fully account for Quantum Mechanics. Heim calculated the mass values of the elemental particles using the 6-dimensional formulation and six experimentally measured fundamental constants, such as the speed of light in a vacuum, and arrived at values that were in good (!) agreement with observations.
Burkhard Heim arrived at a description of the beginning from the currently observed universe using logic and mathematics. He described the process he used in a presentation to the scientists at Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB) in Ottoburnn, Germany on November 25, 1976. An annotated transcript of the presentation and an English translation was produced by Olar Posdzech, Jim Graham, John Reed and Wilfried Kugel between 2000 and 2009. In this presentation, Heim derived the fundamental quantum of area which he called a metron.
In 1992, Tamar Auerbach explained the cosmology of Heims Theory as follows:
In Heims theory both the metronic size, t, and the largest diameter D depend on the age of the universe. The dependence is such that D is expanding and t is contracting, so that D was smaller in the past and t was larger. It stands to reason that at one time in the distant past the surface area of a sphere of diameter D in our 3-dimensional world was equal to the size of t. This instant marks the origin of the universe and of time.
The mathematical relation between D and t is not simple, so that 3 different values of D are found to satisfy the criterion that the area of a sphere of diameter D be equal to t at the beginning of time. Evidently, the universe started as a trinity of spheres, whose diameters turn out to be (in meters):
D1 = 0.90992 m, D2 = 1.06426 m, D3 = 3.70121 m.
This trinity of spheres has important bearings on the structure of elementary particles.
From the first moment the universe began to expand, though at a slower rate than is presently predicted on the basis of the red shift of distant galaxies. Heims theory results in a present age of the universe approximately equal to 5.45 x 10^107 years, and a diameter D of about 6.37 x 10^109 light years. During most of its existence the universe consisted of an empty metronic lattice, whose metrons kept getting smaller as the universe grew larger.
Eventually, metrons became small enough for matter to come into existence. This may have occurred some 15-40 billion (10^9) years ago, at which time matter was created throughout the volume of the universe. Hence, according to Heim matter did not originate very soon after a big bang explosion but more uniformly in scattered fire-cracker like bursts, perhaps of galactic proportions. Spontaneous uniform creation of matter, coupled with the partly attractive and partly repulsive force of gravity mentioned in Section 3 resulted in the observed large-scale galactic structure of the universe. Creation of matter continues to this day, though on a very much reduced scale.

Heims Theory then starts in an analogous way to the way the Hebrew Sages explain it:
And He created His universe with three books (Sepharim), with text (Sepher) with number (Sephar) and with communication (Sippur).
Kaplan, Aryeh (2004-03-15). Sefer Yetzirah: The Book of Creation in Theory and Practice (Kindle Locations 445-449). Red Wheel Weiser. Kindle Edition.
Now the Sefer Yetzirah is said to be part of the oral Torah, but we dont know for sure, so it should be treated as commentary. So we must look for a pattern in the Torah that matches Heims Theory in order to consider Heims theory a match for the first creation story. The amazing thing is that the Torahs description of the creation of the Nation of Israel fits the pattern of these three spheres (books) and the organization of the dimensions used in Extended Heim Theory.
If we simply number the 12 sons of Jacob in the order they were born, we get the following:
x1 Gen 29:32 So Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, The LORD has surely seen my affliction. Now therefore, my husband will love me.
x2 Gen 29:33 Then she conceived again and bore a son, and said, Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has therefore given me this son also. And she called his name Simeon.
x3 Gen 29:34 She conceived again and bore a son, and said, Now this time my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons. Therefore his name was called Levi.
x4 Gen 29:35 And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, Now I will praise Yahweh. Therefore she called his name Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
x5 Gen 30:6 Then Rachel said, G-d has judged my case; and He has also heard my voice and given me a son. Therefore she called his name Dan.
x6 Gen 30:8 Rachel said, With great wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, and indeed I have prevailed. So she called him Naphtali.
x7 Gen 30:11 Then Leah said, A troop comes! So she called his name Gad.
x8 Gen 30:13 Then Leah said, I am happy, for the daughters will call me blessed. So she called his name Asher.
x9 Gen 30:18 Leah said, G-d has given me my hire [wages] because I have given my maid to my husband. So she called his name Issachar.
x10 Gen 30:20b Leah said, ...now my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons. So she called his name Zebulun.
x11 Gen 30:24 So she [Rebecca] called his name Joseph, and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.
x12 Gen 35:18 As her soul was departing (for she died), she [Rebecca] called his name Ben-Oni [son of my sorrow]; but his father called him Ben-Jamin.
There probably is some significance to the names themselves, but at this point I have only looked at the birth order and grouping related to the dimensions used in Extended Heim Theory.
Leahs first three sons, Reuben, Simion, and Levi, represent the R3 (x,y,z) Spatial Dimensions. Her fourth son, Judah, represents T! (t) Time. Note that this associates the genealogy of Jesus with time!
Rachels maid, Bihah, two sons, Dan and Naphtali, represent S2 (x5, x6) the Structure dimensions. These are the dimensions that provide the electromagnetic force. Heims initial theory used only these six dimensions.
Leahs maid, Zilpha, responds with two sons, Gad and Asher, who represent I2 (x7,x8) the Information dimensions.
The next four dimensions are called the God Dimensions because these dimensions contains structures that steer the events of the other dimensions. They are associated with Jacobs two wives. Leahs last two sons, Issachar and Zebulun, and Rachels two sons, Joseph and Benjamin represent G4 (x9,x10,x11,x12).
Once I recognized this pattern, it was apparent that the Three Spheres (Books) were symbolized by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
What are the chances of this happening if the Holy Scriptures are not the Word of YHWH, the True and Living God, Creator of the Universe?
I wonder if his remarks have been characterized correctly or in context since Kaku has intimated that he was secular/atheist/agnostic in the past if I recall correctly. Sort of like how people use ‘God does not play dice’ to try to show that Einstein was a full on believer rather than the waffler between Deism/agnostism/atheism/pantheism.
He was a science advisor to Obama when Fukushima occurred. He let slip that for the first time in history an entire nuclear reactor core liquified. And here we are 5 years later and the cores have still not been located. Take a deep breath and contemplate that one for awhile.
Even George Carlin believed in “The Big Electron”, it doesn’t judge.
How can one support ID and also be an atheist? Either one believes the universe was “created” purposefully, which requires a creator, or you believe it is the product of pure chance, which does not require one.
Where am I wrong?
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Machio Kaku, the World’s Bravest Scientist. He will possibly escape being burned at the stake by zealots in the congregation of climate change believers, but he will be treated as an intellectually deficient leper for daring to express faith in God, the Creator.
I heard they are coming out with a new movie - “The Oklahoma Syndrome”
Sir Fred Hoyle estimated the odds of getting just the basic enzymes together that are necessary for life (never mind the DNA or the actual cell) to be 1 chance in 10^40000th power. Most statisticians would assert the probabilities of anything less than 1 chance in 10^50th power are statistically impossible.
Who discovered the earth was round?
Being smart does not rule out faith One could argue only the smartest admit there is a God. God calls those who do not believe fools.
Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe. — Galileo
There was a time when I personally supported the largest mainframe computer in the United States of America.
The man-hours required in terms of years from design to production and implementation was astonishing.
To me, a simple tomato seed from germination to production (of fruit) is light years beyond anything man makes.
#1 blew up after the liquified core had broke out of containment. It is every where. #3 contained over 100 tines more nuclear bomb material than all the nukes exploded in tests. It blew up after the completely liquified core had broke out. It is every where. Japan is covered with plutonium. #2 did not explode, but the almost 100 % liquified core went into the ground. It is currently being slowly washed out into the Pacific. And will be for over 100 years. Unexpectedly the US death rate has increased for the first time in decades. Strange coincidence no doubt.
