LATEST BOOK BY DR. MICHIO KAKU…
“THE FUTURE OF THE MIND: The scientific quest to understand, enhance, and empower the mind.”
Telepathy. Telekinesis. Mind reading. Photographing a dream. Uploading memories. Mentally controlled robots. A Brain Net to replace the internet.
These feats, once considered science fiction, have now been achieved in the laboratory, as documented in THE FUTURE OF THE MIND.
But the book goes even further, analyzing when one day we might have a complete map of the brain, or a back up Brain 2.0, which may allow scientists to send consciousness throughout the universe.
Available February 25, 2014. Watch this website and Facebook for Dr. Kaku’s multi-city book tour, from February 23rd to March 16th. Maybe Dr. Kaku will personally autograph your copy of THE FUTURE OF THE MIND.

Dr. Kaku Returns to the Colbert Nation
Famed Physicist, Dr. Michio Kaku’s return appearance on the Colbert Report.
Dr. Kaku made a return appearance on Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report on Tuesday night (February 26, 2013).
The topic? Dr. Kaku’s cover story in the latest issue of NEWSWEEK entitled “Asteroid Apocalypse” covering our recent encounters with the asteroid-kind here on Earth and future ramifications of such encounters. Namely, the asteroid Apophis, set to skim our atmosphere in 2029 and possibly achieve impact in 2036.
Don’t miss the great exchange between Dr. Kaku and show host, Stephen Colbert. It so happens, we at “Dr. Kaku’s Universe” are also members of the “Colbert Nation.” It is a double-treat to watch them both together and in top form. Watch here now!

Europe Preparing for Most Detailed Examination of the Sun to Date (The Takeaway Radio Interview)

The European Space Agency this week is expected to begin formal and final preparations to launch the Solar Orbiter space probe, which will be launched toward the sun in about five years, orbiting within the orbit of Mercury. It’ll be the closest trip to the sun by any Earth-launched space probe and is expected to provide vast amounts of new data.

Hopefully, though, in the next five years, we’ll know a lot more. That’s when the Solar Orbiter is set to launch. A project of the European Space Agency, the Solar Orbiter will get closer to the sun than any satellite to date. The journey to the sun will take years, even once the probe is built and launched.
“There are so many gaps in our knowledge of the sun. We’ve mapped practically every square mile of the planet Mars, we know more about Mars than the surface of the Earth in fact. But the sun constantly changes. It’s not made out of a solid surface at all. It’s made out of plasma, roughly 75 percent hydrogen and 25 percent helium. That’s why this probe is so important — because it will travel inside the orbit of Mercury, where no other space probe has gone before.”

(ABC News: Good Morning America) James Cameron, Google Executives, Billionaires to Mine for Asteroids?
[image error]
ABCNews.com: Film director James Cameron, Google’s Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, X Prize founder Peter Diamandis and billionaire Ross Perot Jr. along with a number of other incredible minds plan to take on outer space. Just what they’re up to is still a mystery but they’ve announced that they’re forming a new “space exploration company to expand earth’s resource base,” that will create “a new industry and a new definition of natural resources.”
“If you put two Google billionaires with Microsoft billionaires with some astronauts together, you can’t go wrong. I think private enterprise will boldly go where governments fear to tread. And I think the space program has been in purgatory in the last few years. NASA is an agency to nowhere. So, we need private enterprise, especially people with deep pockets to help jump start the program and maybe mining the heavens is just the ticket.” - Michio Kaku
