Meteorologist Steve Adams of. Black holes cause most species that time travel science and technology brought to you by theoretical physicists Futurist popularizer of science at world renowned author of. Kaku. Why. This is science to test. Welcome back to science fantastic with Professor Michio Kaku on science fantastic we explore the amazing job dropping scientific discoveries which are revolutionizing our world and touching our lives and in this hour once again we're going to throw the lines open because this hour is your hour all you have to do is get to the phones and call the now. Amber that put you right to our studio lines and so once again this is your opportunity to get on science band casting and with us again with us today later on we're going to bring on a cosmologist will talk to us about black holes but in this hour this hour is your hour to shine remember that no question is quote too Dumble or too stupid to put on radio just remember that years ago there was a young 23 year old gentleman who asked himself a stupid question and that is that an apple falls there's the moon also fall there's the moon fall because of the same forces acting on an Apple Well it took a few years for him to solve their problem but when he did he changed world history his name was her eyes ik Newton and he came up with theory of gravity and a theory of mechanics that allowed us to build rocket ships skyscrapers modern bridges most of the architecture of the 20th century and 21st century owes its origin directly to Isaac Newton's laws of motion so no question is too damned if you give us a call at 612-564-8135 also in the end of February I'll be on a book tour that's right maybe I'll be signing your copy of my latest book is called the future of humanity. The future of humanity in outer space you know we're going to go back to the moon next year and then we're going to send astronauts after a 50 year hiatus and then on to Mars by the mid 20 thirties and beyond that perhaps terra forming Mars and beyond that perhaps even Levy the solar system in starships and some people think that our ultimate destiny may lie in the stars well find out about the science the science behind our future destiny and once again the book is called the future of humanity OK Well once again you can call the number 612-564-8135 major name call it into the radio station and the city you're calling from and hey maybe you can get on science and test OK well let's move right along and take the 1st listener phone call. Las Vegas Nevada if there are 500000000000 light years away when supernova and we were just looking up. At the right time when not light was reaching us when we see the Explorers or would we just he star extinguish and go dark Thank you . Well 1st of all if a star is one light year away from us it'll take a year for a light to reach us so if a star is let's say 500000000 light years from Earth and we see the explosion then it exploded 500000000 years ago so the night sky is a time machine you're not looking at that I sky as it is you're looking at the nice guy as it was now what will you see Well 1st you will see the explosion you'll see a gigantic fireball and out of the fireball when excited to condense then at the very center at the very center of the fireball you may see a neutron star a star which is the remnant of the supernova explosion other Trans Star by the way way he's about as much as the sun In fact if not more but size Why is the size of the earth so after this tight tannic explosion called a supernova you get a tiny little remnant the corpse of the original star and if you take a teaspoon of it a teaspoon of white dwarf material away as much as a mountaintop and so just remember the had what we see in the cosmos is not what is actually there when you look at yourself in the mirror for example you're actually seeing yourself a billionth of a 2nd ago because it takes about a billionth of a 2nd problem to go from your face to a mere back to your eye and then the question is Of what use is this well we use super supernovae as a standard candle in which to judge distances a star that is very close to us. Looks very similar to a very bright star that is very far from us and so it's hard to tell the difference between a close star that is dim and a far star that is quite bright that's what we need a standard candle and there's a certain type of supernova supernova type one day that is the standard candle so this discussion is not academic at all this is how we measure the size of the universe OK well let's move right along to the next listener phone call. My name is Ronald price from a walking talking to my question as it's kind of long so bear with me but only for many years but it would be possible to migrate the earth away from the sun when needed and the next couple of 1000000000 years were necessary since the Mon has no atmosphere it's no different than a giant spacecraft that can be manipulated with rockets mounted to its surface or attached to stilts where the rocket exhaust system is is far enough away to not create an atmosphere on the moon's I was part long ago if the moon wasn't revolving around the Earth due to momentum the moon would fall towards the OR if we kept the moon from falling towards the earth the earth would then fall towards a month however if we kept the earth on the moon at the same distance from each other the earth will migrate towards any direction the moon is pointing at in the US at the right trajectory we could migrate the earth away from the sun and theoretically take the earth with us anywhere we want to go without the need to abandon it will it be possible to migrate the earth anywhere we want to go with the advanced technology of change that the next couple 1000000000 years thank you very much. Well 1st here is a question sounds preposterous however serious astronomers have actually looked into that very question you see 5000000000 years from now the sun is going to eat up the earth the sun will devour the planet Earth and all life will be extinguished therefore some people have advocated moving the earth now the moon it turns out there's not have enough energy to draw the earth away from the sun plus you have to move the moon which of course is in itself a very big task however we have asteroids asteroids from very far distance it wouldn't take much to announce an asteroid so that it comes whizzing by the earth and execute a slingshot maneuver and because the asteroid whips around the earth and actually pushes the earth away from the sun as a consequence Now if you do the math you can show that the moon is not big enough not suitable enough not fast enough but asteroids whizzing through outer space may do the trick you had to have a lot of them. You have to synchronize them just right but hey billions of years from now we have the choice he that we leave the earth for we move the Earth OK well that's it for this segment of science fantastic Stay tuned for the next segment but we continue to take your listener phone calls that the following number 612-564-8135. 3 to give it to theorize that. This is. A few years ago I asked business owners and listeners to help keep free speech alive across America on great stations just like this one I called out and you responded businesses across the country became advertisers on many of the programs you listen to every day to those business owners I say thank you and to the listeners who bought products and services from these sponsors I thank you as well for your support of these courageous businesses as a listener you need to continue to buy from the businesses who advertise on this radio station and if you're a business owner get involved become an advertiser and reach the customers you need to reach to find out more about how you can advertise on my shows or others on the station get involved now by calling 877-474-6605 that's 87747466058774746605 .

Brought to you by the professor makes you know. This is science fantastic. Welcome back to science panel once again this hour is your hour but if you want to know what I'm up to go to my website has em Kaku dot org am K K You've done or you have written 3 New York Times bestsellers and if you want to know more about me then go to my book to ARK I'll be traveling through many cities San Francisco Los Angeles Chicago Philadelphia Washington New York and the book I'll be talking about is my latest and that is the future of humanity our destiny in outer space some people think we could be entering a new golden age and you golden age of space travel after 50 years of spinning wheels around the Earth we're now going to go back to the moon it's official NASA has stated that yes there is money we're going to go back to the moon and then on to Mars and beyond that the solar system so find out more about the new space age by getting a copy of my book coming out in late February and that is the future of humanity OK Let's move right along now to the next listener phone call home where money was struck where we're going to. Or more. Variation. The. Whole notion got screwed you know. That and. The future. Well you ask a very distinct question for immersion virtual reality is when you create an imaginary world partly by putting on goggles but also perhaps sending messages directly into the brain itself creating memories that weren't there before now we can't do that yet we have virtual reality goggles of course but if you go to my book The Future of the Mind you realise that yes in the future we may shoot memories directly into the brain itself now what does this have to do with mental health 1st of all many people take drugs because of the the harshness of reality they want to escape and of course the problem is drugs are addictive Well virtual reality to the best of our knowledge is not addictive Well at least so far we haven't found to many people that are addicted to virtual reality goggles and so this could be one way that tackle a mental health problem not to mention that depression is one of the main problems facing us mentally millions of people are afflicted by it but with full immersion for its reality perhaps we'll be able to create a new reality for these individuals to give them hope to give them a connection to their fellow human being and so some people think that yes maybe it could even affect our mental health OK well let's move right along to the next listener phone call Oh my name is Andrea I want to ask Dr Kaku. What is the technology you. Think you find promising the 21st century that you are looking forward to and I would love to hear more about what you think is the most revolutionary things down to happen in the next decade Thank you. Well going to the next decade and beyond I think brain that could be a game changer but today we have the internet but you can't send emotions feelings you can't send how you feel on the Internet memories knowledge things are private in your brain but now we're beginning to decode the signals of the brain and some people think that one day will shoot memories on the Internet now in animals we can already do that with mice we've been able to record memories and these memories can be sent on the Internet now we're doing it with monkeys and after that perhaps with Alzheimer's patients so that we could have memories flooding the brain of an Alzheimer's patient so they don't wander the streets and beyond that perhaps intertainment think about it the movies could be replaced by brain that instead of seeing a blank screen with a sound you'll feel the emotions of the actors Your see the memory is that they also see that we can't do that yet and out of all is all we can do is send snippets of small memories but the very fact that we can do that at all is amazing and so eventually brain that may replace the Internet and also entertainment who wants to see T.V. Or radio or television when it's nothing but a blank screen or a sound when you can actually feel what the actors and actresses are feeling to find out more about brain that get a copy of my previous book The Future of the mind OK well let's go on to the next listener phone call. Oh that or or something like that or you know brought up early Boy you ask a very distinct question that I'm actually working on right now it turns out that for the past 50 years we've been smashing atoms apart with Arch I can take particle accelerators and will be smashed protons apart when we get more support timing barnacles we get a zoo of them and we're trying to is now categorizing a sore thumb out we realize now there are 2 kind
