Rafe says hi
im quite new here

Excellent find and a very interesting individual.I like his way of thinking very philosophical and ofcourse hypothetical.Loved his analogys conerning the opposing force (the terrorist)
Finally not just some nutcase blabering and pushing his believes he seems sober enough.
im gonna watch the rest of the vids..
Btw if you u havent watched these vids you'l never lok at a space oddesy 2001 the same again

Do a search for STRING THEORY too. The guy is the einstein of our generation, imagine what could be possible to do when the equation become complete and we have acquired this science.

hmmm, ants do not create disease, they live in a perfect dictatorhip, they do not infight, so i would readdress the topic title to human are ameoba aliens look like god by comparion, but they ain't all gods...
the first vid remind me of a musical concept i am investigating...the concept of chaos, randomness, being order far larger than humans are able to see let alone believe or conceptualize....by accepting thi concept, the use of chaos in the creative process becomes more inspired ideas, and original perpectives, which also indicates that humanity has no need to recreate past idea in new formats, we just need to expand our concepts...
if we say to an ant, i bring you nuclear technology, utopia, no wonder that ant ignores us....because we are not in control of the concepts he mentioned...for ourselves we are till children with energy and harmony...or ameoba life forms by comparrion to ay a hive mind that an ant lives by perhaps as an evolution of our bickering....
I like the way he says speed of light...speed of life...
I always think he knows more than he is saying, but would prefer not to be ridiculed.....his layman terms are what make him famous, and by that alone he has to reduce his knowing to digetible size...but he also plays the scientific reality that discovery and understand is uually suppreed before either we all agree or the evidence exists....which is more and more difficult these days....that's my opinion on him.....he does hint a lot at bigger concepts like, the speed of life....the fact that some accepted theories are not real...but i undertand, he wants to keep his job, and do the zen thing when it comes to revealing the unbelievable truths...he knows more about aliens than he speaks.....definately...his body language alone say this...my opinion anyway...

Michio Kaku is cool, i've always like what he has to say.
As for the 'thread title'
(misleading) Michio Kaku was only using it as a metaphoric example.
I'm no ant man.

oo time for me tobring up somewhat related personal story!
I once did a series of artorks of a huge cicada like alien attacking an unamed major city, trashing Earth defying all millitary methods of killing it, and then it died because it naturally couldn't survive on Earth. I was asked for one more sketch based on the 'cicada' and I decided to do a sort of preuel where it is revealed that, dun dun duuun, the monster was an intelligent animal that had crashed into Earth after floating in space in a space shuttle for millions of years, and the planet it came from was far larger than Earth, and it was human sized in comparison to the world it came from. In perspective, it was like a human crashing into a planet much smaller than Earth and wreaking havoc accidentally or in fustration.
So in some way we could be ants to aliens.

Yeah i disagree with the anology aswell. Ants cant be taught how to use new tools. I can almost guarentee we will be as smart as Aliens (apart from any radical changes they might do to themselves). The only difference will be they have better technology and a much more advanced culture. Can't teach ants how to use a warp drive but you could teach humans

My point is that ,if every theory was based on assumption at some stage then, who is to say that string theory won't one day be proved to be correct.

Not really.
The string theory has his basis on what is observed by scientists in laboratory experiments, its not a thing someone came up in the launch time.
Theres also a video on youtube about how the elements change their property when people are working with nanotechnology, mostly because the change in the vibration/behavior of the atoms, eletrons or whatever, so instead of one periodic table we have dozens of it.

Einstein wrote the beginning of string theory in his bed and died before he could ever complete it. Strings are far to small to be detected, people are just assuming that these strings are there. I dont believe in these strings.

Not quite, string theory is entirely too big for one man to write on his death bed. He tried to formulate a grand unified theory, something that string theory in all its many forms also tries to address.

Humans have brains that are capable of questioning and understanding. ET's are not superior to us. They may have better tech. But where it counts - in the ability to learn - we are equals.
We should not venerate ET's - we should meet them as equals. For that matter, we are the superios on Earth.... This is OUR home after all and they are just party crashers....

When we learn how our genes work we can genetic modify individuals to have a superior mind, we can make mozarts and einsteins with blue eyes and yellow skin in a laboratory.
Aliens can be much, much smarter than us.
