“Michio Kaku”
Famous? I never heard of this person before.
He’s pretty famous. If you see his photo you may realize you have seen him if you watch any Discovery Channel or Science Channel documentaries.
He’s on the “famous” level of Neil Degrasse Tyson, or Alex Fillipenko, I’d say.
Might be that you do not hang out in scientific, physics, or astronomy circles. I have known of this brilliant man for a couple of decades and am surprised to hear his say such things. I respect his intellect but am astounded that he espouses things that normal folk call "faith".
Professor Kaku is very, very well known for his abilities at popularizing and explaining science to the laity.
(you can if you wish see many of his talks on youtube, also, FYI)
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.
You don't pay much attention to astronomy.
He’s on FOX a lot. One of the mail hosts is a friend.

Amazingly, the universe is much larger than you.
