“What I do for living, working on something called string theory which we think may answer the fundamental question: Are there other universes? Can you go through a black hole? Can you warp the fabric of space and time and meet your mother before you were born? These are all questions that in principle string theory should be able to answer.” ThinkingShouldMayAbleMotherUniverseBlackBornSpaceAnswersPrinciplesTheoryFundamentalsHolesStringsFabricTime And SpaceBlack HoleWarpString Theory Author:Michio Kaku

“Radical militant feminist believes that women of color and Black women in particular have written the cutting edge theory and really were the individuals who exploded feminist theory into the directions that has made it more powerful.

“Once again, my colleague Stephen Hawking has upset the apple cart. The event horizon surrounding a black hole was once though to be an imaginary sphere. But recent theories indicate that it may actually be physical, maybe even a sphere of fire. But I don't trust any of these calculations until we have a full-blown string theory calculation, since Einstein's theory by itself is incomplete.” MayBlackFireEventsTheoryHolesUpsetApplesStringsHorizonSpheresImaginaryColleaguesCalculationsIncompleteDon't TrustCartsBlack HoleEvent HorizonString Theory Author:Michio Kaku
“Combining quantum entanglement with wormholes yields mind boggling results about black holes.

“Macroscopic objects, as we see them all around us, are governed by a variety of forces, derived from a variety of approximations to a variety of physical theories. In contrast, the only elements in the construction of black holes are our basic concepts of space and time. They are, thus, almost by definition, the most perfect macroscopic objects there are in the universe.” UniverseForceBlackSpacePerfectObjectsTheoryElementsConceptsDefinitionsHolesVarietyConstructionContrastTime And SpaceBlack HoleApproximation Author:Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar
