He seems to me to be the science equivalent of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Exactly the opposite. Third generation Japanese American and not a leftist puke like most of the TV scientists. Great books and lectures, good mind and honest as to what he does not know.
I have a couple of scientists in my family, they all like him.
As per Wikipedia:
As part of the research program in 1975 and 1977 at the department of physics at The City College of The City University of New York, Kaku worked on research on quantum mechanics. He was a Visitor and Member (1973 and 1990) at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and New York University. He currently holds the Henry Semat Chair and Professorship in theoretical physics at the City College of New York.
Kaku has had more than 70 articles published in physics journals such as Physical Review, covering topics such as superstring theory, supergravity, supersymmetry, and hadronic physics. In 1974, Kaku and Prof. Keiji Kikkawa of Osaka University co-authored the first papers describing string theory in a field form.
Kaku is the author of several textbooks on string theory and quantum field theory.
I’d say this certainly qualifies him to be called a “real” scientist… Wouldn’t you agree?

He did build a particle accelerator in his garage when he was a kid. So he’s got that going for him.
RE: Who is this guy?
See his credentials in Post #9 of this thread.
“He seems to me to be the science equivalent of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.”
I think you asked fair questions but I didn’t ge the above out of this article.
He helped birth String Theory.
Einstein is in his own class. Nearly everything he theorized has turned out being nominally proven. You look at all the massive names in science, and they were in most cases right in a big way once. Rutherford’s theory of the atom was sort of right - right enough at the time.
Michio Kaku pronounced as MITCH-E-O_____A-COCK-OO
I've listened to this man a least a couple of dozen times or more on different subject's.
I've alway's felt that he took the time to explain the different subject's (while on the radio, being interviewed, and peppered with question's) so even an idiot like me could grasp the true nature of the subject matter.
I'm probably one of the cheapest person's on the face of this planet, I would pay depending on subject matter, to hear this man's thought's on a given subject that interest's me. Yes, I'm some what of a science nerd, although I sucked at it in High School.
I read one of his first books on dimensions about thirty years ago. Brilliant.
His understanding of God is very considered and goes beyond the normal. Listen to what he’s saying.
