Dr. Michio Kaku is an American theoretical physicist at the City College of New York , best-selling author, a futurist, and a communicator and popularizer of science. He has written several books about physics and related topics of science.
He has written two New York Times Best Sellers, Physics of the Impossible (2008) and Physics of the Future (2011).
Dr. Michio is the co-founder of string field theory (a branch of string theory), and continues Einstein’s search to unite the four fundamental forces of nature into one unified theory.
Kaku 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.

Michio Kaku is such a disappointment as a public intellectual, with his constant spewing of sensationalized nonsense about important science, poisoning earnest curious minds with his purulent drivel. What an abject disgrace it is to trade the beauty and integrity of honest scientific inquiry for all that flagrant stinky ass bullshit delivered in a steaming bowl in front of the talk show cameras. This man is a tragic joke.
And, yet, his book on QFT isn't half bad.

Know advanced mathematics before you pick this up; this will hurt.

Unfortunately, Michio realized after a while that he'd do better writing straight science fiction. But I still prefer his early books.

Es god te presenta la qft como teoría de grupos aplicada a cuántica.

May 16, 2021Do yourself a favour and read a real scientific book like Einstein's; Relativity: The Special and General Theory.
