Consciousness is a beautiful gift, yet a cruel curse.

I have seen dolphins and elephants mourning a death. So I could not be sure they do not know they too will die.

I'm wary of anyone claiming to "know" what they cannot possibly know.

"Remarkable claims, need remarkable proofs... You might not need one, but I do" What a powerful line!

I liked how I clicked on this upload wanting to know what Kaku's opinion on life after death was... only to hear him say, "I need more evidence." Then he drifts off on to another topic pondering just how old earth really is. Lol

im a christian and i admire his outlook. he isnt mocking or screaming yet he shows facts and leaves it open at the end. no matter what ur religion is or if you dont have one at all gotta show respect. love it!

i do believe animals know their time is limited also

Michio is a class act; far gentler towards religion than he could have been.

I really apprieciate how he tries to be for the most part an unbiased observer. when he is speaking on fundamentalist creationism he points out how it is flawed with straight facts, but when it comes to the after-life he shows that while he won't believe something that hasn't been proven he does seem open to the idea. I have also seen him in some talks of god, and he never seems to try to be completely for or against. I feel Michio Kaku is a great educator in that he always shows facts to what we know for certain, but never tries to shove beliefs (ideas that are made to fill in gaps between facts) down our throats, and this is why I have so much respect for him.

Kako is truly a pleasant person, I like his objectivity and he's fun to listen to.

“Time is But a mere illusion.” -Albert Einstein Personally, I don’t believe there was a beginning because you need time in order for it to begin. I believe this is just something our minds cannot accept. That we live in and infinite universe. I mean the cosmos almost prove it really.

I've started a religion in which we believe that, when you die, your soul travels to a garage in Newark, New Jersey :)

i love that in his video's it is less explaining and more him leading you to the questions to ask. that is what i admire the most

"Speaking as a scientist I think that there is a problem with regards to the after life and religious immortality and that is there is no proof that it exists. Remarkable claims require remarkable proof. But maybe you don't need proof. Well, I do." I love this guy!

I can't believe Usher came up with this rubbish. It's Ludacris...

Thanks Mr. Kaku, great show.

If your brain is a little bit damaged, your thinking is a little bit impaired. If your brain is severely damaged your thinking and physiology will be severely impaired. BUT, once that brain has turned to mush in the grave you get to this state of super awareness. Anyone buying?

"Unlike all other creatures on the planet we are the only ones who know our time is limited." That is quite a remarkable claim without any proof.

Setting aside the creationism claims in the Book of Genesis, I’ve found that most YECs simply have a difficult time accepting the idea of 4.5bil years, because, to them, it sounds too far-fetched; and they’ll often deride the idea of a timescale so vast. The problem is, the timescale we use as humans - years - is essentially arbitrary (aside from the obvious fact that it takes a 365.25 days to orbit the sun). Let’s say we lived on Jupiter, which takes 12 earth years to complete one full orbit around the sun. If we used the Jovian orbit as a calendar year, the earth would “only” be 375mil years old. If you used Neptune’s calendar year, which year is ~165 earth years, the earth would “only” be 27.3mil years old. The point is, our unit of measurement concerning time is relative, so we have to look at the bigger picture when we hear timescales that range in the billions of years.

All I can think about is what Homer Simpson once said : "what if we've been praying to and worshipping the wrong God and the REAL God is getting angrier and angrier. So true and funny if you think about it!

“There is no conclusive evidence of life after death, but there is no evidence of any sort against it. Soon enough you will know, so why fret about it?” ― Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love

Time began when I was born.

Great to see you again :-)

In God's realm time is irrelevant.

I am Greek and from my 35 years I have converted from atheism to orthodox Christians. I agree with you that it is sad when some are trying to commercialize religion or ideology, or try to impose their faith in schools or society. I know there are many Christian approaches to America. I have been informed enough before accepting Orthodoxy.

Energy never disappears; it just changes shape.

Love your work Michio Kaku!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The human race is leaving behind the age of myth and entering the age of science. This upsets some people who can't let go of the past.

Obviously, if there is a god he must enjoy remaining mysterious.

I love this man

Life is time. It ends and starts again. We can see this happening all around us.

Awesome. Beautiful source.

Kaku looks at the carve in the Canyon and says ...... Oh my God ......... :) at 9:00

I was raised Catholic early in my life and at some point I drifted from them to First Baptist for a time. I always understood I had already been baptized as a baby and pretty much figured I'd leave it at that, however since I been attending another church and possibly different doctrine, however I found they were pretty much the same. After attending on and off with the First Baptist I decided to be dunk baptized even though I already knew I was already covered when I was a baby. This happened in 2004 the same year my father fell I'll to cancer and died. I did get a chance to see him a week before he did pass and I'll never forget what he told me while in his room at the v.a. center. He was sitting at the edge of the bed and he kept rolling his oxygen hose up and putting it away and I kept having to tell he wasn't supposed to do that and he should put it back on, otherwise our conversations were pretty much small talk all of a sudden he looked at me and said "son why are you covered in water?" I asked him to explain and he said that my whole body appeared as though it was covered in water and that my sister looked the same way....it turned out that she had gotten dunk baptized too, I know he knew about her baptism but not mine and I asked her if she had said anything about it and she said "honest to God no!" I won't even try to convince anyone here what I believe especially in a room with people who need proof in something that requires surrender and faith. I now believe that people on their death beds are in the process of having their veil lifted or at least my father did and he saw something that we cant see at least till were ready. Some things are forever etched in my mind... I remember when the space shuttle blew up, the world trade center disaster etcetera, and what my father said to me in his last few days left on this earth.

I had two incredible out of body experiences. Maybe not enough proof for you but I'm gonna go with it.

Well done Bishop Ussher! You have messed up every believers mind :)

Being in parallel universes is probably our immortality

For the sake of all those who have suffered in this life, I HOPE there is a heavenly afterlife.

Great video by a true genius.

22nd October 4004BC - 'bout dinner time XD "God, your dinner's ready!" "I'm just creating the universe. Be there in a minute" ..... "What's a minute?"

I never reckoned Michio as an outstanding physicist, but he has a knack of representing science pretty well in an understandable way. Another, earlier physicist, Carl Sagan (of 'Cosmos' fame) did it even better. If you've never seen it, It's well worth a look.

I understand why people may laugh at Usher, but in his time he sought meaning. Don't disrespect him for that.

wow, love to see the whole program... but time is short.....

I love it when someone starts their dissertation with an unsupported statement.

I honestly think this is what afterlife feels like. The moment when you’re in a very very deep sleep. The split moment you feel or try to recall from closing your eyes and sleep to just BAM, waking up, that little blank hole of space is what I think death is, which is pretty much a feeling of nothingness. No awareness, no feelings, no dreams, no anything. Think about it.

The comment section should be banned for videos like. Too many uneducated and unenlightened people who are eons away from seeing outside of the circle.

Amen to that brother.

If the universe was Random. Galaxy's would smash into to each other. There was a design.

We don't have a soul. We are the soul. The body lives and dies. We do not. Now is the time for us to wake up to this reality and start focusing on why we agreed to come here in the first place.

All these comments below me, arguing about what's true and what's not... Can we all agree that our time is limited? Can we recognize that the more time we spend arguing the less time we have to do what we really want to do? Just really comprehend how valuable your time is--it's the most valuable thing you'll ever have--do you really want to waste the most valuable thing you'll ever have? Will forcing your opinion on someone else really make you that much happier, that it's worth wasting your life doing?

Very interesting program...where is the continuation of it ?

the first 1:00 really made something click in my mind and that is being that once humans evolved the ability to be aware of the fact that one day we would inevitably die so the only way to cope naturally would be to beleive that we live for ever, like every other animal

Kaku, Dawkins, Bill Nye, Hitchens, Randi, Hawking, Dennett, Harris, Tyson, etc. What's not to like?

I must have slept through the part about life after death.

He is amazing I love how he explains it

From which documentary is this?

I'll put it this way god is the universe! it doesn't think it doesn't feel it doesn't see all it does is creat wonderful things.🙈🙉🙊

I like Michio. He is sublime and soothing and rational and scientific. He, most likely grew up in a house that worshipped Buddha or Shinto as the son of Japanese immigrants. Disproving that the world is only 6000 years old is sort of like learning that Santa Claus isn`t real. The majority of religious minded people understand that. That has very little to do with their belief in afterlife. Faith in afterlife, God, Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha is mostly personal and you either have it or you don`t. If you have it, you know that it is real and you don`t require proof. If you needed proof, you could refer to those who have died and returned with their stories of afterlife. If you don`t have it, It will certainly cross your mind during your last breath on earth.

I think that the holographic disclosure videos can shed some light on this subject. Best wishes

I was a creationist once before in my life. I wanted to know that when I died something would continue onward. Eventually, being shown the overwhelming facts against my belief system and swath of information for the other sides, I came to the conclusion that the existence of a deity, as described in most religions, was impossible. That lead me to a change in my life that resulted to where I am today, hoping to one day shape the future of those who will live after me as positively as I can. Science is really the only long term way to forward that cause, as it is proposed that, with sufficiently advanced technology, almost no one would have to die again and their lives while they were alive would be enjoyable. As depressing as it is to know that one day my existence will be quickly pulled from me, it makes me happy to know that I may one day contribute something immensely helpful to the humans that come after myself. That's the reason why I believe most creationists lean the way they do, they do not wish to accept the fact that there is a finite end to life, and I really can't blame them.

a complete video will sound amazing, sigh, another clip with no source

In string theory, do you exist in multiple dimensions? is there anything linking them or do they simply exist?

10:36 They were lucky to catch that, what a gorgeous shot.

We were created without a creator, by accident. That is also a remarkable claim that requires remarkable proof.

People really need to look into near death experiences, there's doctors even researching them and DR. Jeffrey Long seems to be the best one among them.

"Time" is an infinity grid. For the sake of simplicity, "time" is a measure of change. There is therefore, such a thing, scientifically, as a state of 'timelessness,' which divides 'time quanta' or stated as, 'windows of change,' which is what 'we' are familiar with, so far measured as "Planck time."

Sir, the way you trained The Karate Kid is remarkable. ( lol just trolling ) ... love this dude and his rationale.

We will die in this universe but not in parallel universe.

"Its impossible to be conscious of being unconscious" A,Einstein

Inconceivable! :D

His voice is awesome

the universe is expanding, so does that mean that god is constantly 'building' the universe?

I love your work and TV appearances professor Kaku, but I must differ with you in your initial statement where you said that only humans had a concept of their limited time on Earth, and therefore, of death. I heard these same kinds of statements where others have said that animals don't have a concept of the future, which makes me wonder why then would a bird prepare for winter, build a nest, or warn other animals of impending danger. Non-human animals have an even deeper understanding (does not have to be intellectual) of their relative time on Earth. Anyone who has raised animals and has a close bond with them, while studying to understand them thoroughly, can realize this. The more I study about non-human animals and interact with them the more I realize that it is us, and not them, who still need to learn from them. In fact, much of what Homo knows about survival have been learned through observing animals in the natural world.

You said the magic words. "All religions promise an after life" If religions did not promise that, how popular would they be? People are too afraid to die. Many spend their last dime on anything that might delay the inevitable. Live to the fullest now!

I consider Dr. Kaku to be one of the most brilliant minds ever. I have nothing but respect for him. I would like to be like him. I rank in the top 1% for science comprehension and have an IQ in the 150 range. He makes me feel like an idiot. I do not fault him for that, I fault the American education system. Any American student who deserves it and qualifies for it should be given free college scholarships. We need to encourage American students to go into science and math courses by stopping the push for football players, etc. We need to encourage students to excel at scholastic achievements even if it means downplaying athletics and special needs students.

I very much appreciate Michio Kaku's respectful approach to the question. I would like to point out (hopefully not to spark debate, just to perhaps clarify?) that in the Bible, books like the book of Genesis are written as legends/mythology, so naturally the conclusion that the world is 6000 years old and created in six days should by no means be drawn as fact. There are more important things in the Bible. By the way I certainly don't mean to deny religion, but hopefully speak for religion (I'm a Christian).

Think back to where you were before your birth, can anyone remember?

No question has been finally answered in the last few decades, except "We were wrong".

Please share with other people my two brief videos. Thanks!

To dicuss the possibility of a creator we have to assume that the creator would transcend the universe and the laws that govern it. As a Catholic we are tought that heaven is a different state of being. God is was and always will be. He is not bound by time.

I dont see believing in a God as any more odd than believing everything is made of strings that contain extra dimensions and infinite parallel universes.

It truly does "stagger the imagination".

I adooooooore Michio 😍😍😍

Technically each step down would not be a step into the past but a step into the future.

It would take an extremely incredible amount of faith for one to believe that man and life and Earth came about through some random chain of events, over the faith in a Holy God which Created everything we see by His Holy Intelligent design.

This seems like a segment of a longer program. Anyone know where it's from? I'd be interested in viewing it in it's entirety.

What if God is in another dimension? I really think the Bible says this too us. Many times God is referenced as "all seeing", images in Revelation of having "many eyes", etc. One way to explain this is that God is in a higher dimension than ours. (For example, say a piece of paper was a 2D universe, if you held it far enough, you could see everything on in at once since you're a 3D creature). If God is in another dimension, it would also scientifically explain why he is the Alpha and the Omega, or how he has no beginning and end. In another dimension, time doesn't have to exist! Just my 2 cents.

Carl Sagan said something to this effect, If I really believed what Jesus taught about life after death and hell etc. I would crawl over glass to let people know. That's why Christians tell you the gospel. "There is a principle that is a bar against all knowledge, proof against all argument and which must keep people in everlasting ignorance-that principle is contempt prior to investigation." Herbert Spencer

I have remembered during creation of the universe I danced I wave I twirl circling twisting moving up and down singing blowing breathing moulding flying swimming dance and dance!

Praise the Lord your choice you'll have a long time to think about it, oh my bad time will no longer exist, and I've seen the power of God and know the truth of His Word and I pray that you overcome self and find the truth for this will be the only Heaven you experience, seek and you will find.

Eternal life is real. God is something even more vague and harder to understand scientifically.

..." I created the earth in 6 days" ( God)... "I can do that, hold my beer" (Zeus).

May be the answer just in our mind insight.

Religion equals comfort beliefs. The lobster I ate is not in some after life.

Heaven is a metaphor for the womb, childhood, the nest & the past A time when we were sheltered, cared for, protected, fed, clothed and basically lived in a bubble Nostalgia - a yearning for the time that we lost - "the good old days" - eternal childhood But we can't do that - we can't run back to the womb, stay children forever. We have to grow up sometime and face the world Reincarnation then stands for Life, Adulthood, leaving the nest and the Future

I cant see how we actually could know if we are the only creatures on earth that are aware that they will eventually die. I know that the likelihood of other animals knowing somehow is pretty low, but the declarative statement he opened with was a little brash imo. Anyhow, carry on....

Do you have all of this show?

I love that.Some people don't need evidence but I do

Romans 1:20 for since the creatioin of the world HIS invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made,even HIS eternal power and Godhead , so that they are without excuse so you make the choice where you shall spend eternity for your lack of Faith is sending you to hell! me and my house we will serve the LORD!
