Hearing this, Michio became fascinated with Einstein and his work and began to studying Einstein and Einstein’s work in the library.

Michio’s parents supported his curiosity and helped him experiment at home to understand Einstein’s unfinished theory. From then on, Michio was determined about his future life.

Michio completed his graduation in 1968 from Harvard University and later he received his PhD from University of California Berkeley.

Michio is a professor of theoretical physics at the City College of New York and CUNY Graduate Center. As a professor of City College New York, he gets paid 126,056 dollars per year.

Interestingly Michio once joins in the US army during the Vietnam war. But he was never sent to Vietnam as the war had ended before he could finish his training.

Michio has written many books among them his notable work is Hyperspace, Beyond Einstein, Physics of the Impossible, Parallel Worlds and Physics of the future etc. Not only he writes books but also he made a huge contribution to the blog. He writes more than 70 articles in the field of physics that have been published in Physics Review, the prestigious physics journal.

Michio books were New York bestseller list for two times. First, in 2008 the Physics Of Impossible and the other one was in 2011 The Physics Of The Future. About 9thousand copies were sold at the very first week of releasing The Physics Of The Future. Michio earned 86,490dollars from that book.

Michio has broadcasted some radio shows. His famous radio show was Physics Of impossible, “Exploration” was pretty much famous back then. Here Michio talked about science, war and peace.

Michio Kaku’s most famous book Hyperspace was released in 1994. He earned 152,550dollars from this book. The interesting thing is a British Rock band Muse released an album in 2001 named Hyperspace. They said the concept of the song was adopted from Michio’s book.

Quote
1	It is often stated that of all the theories proposed in this century, the silliest is quantum theory. In fact, some say that the only thing that quantum theory has going for it is that it is unquestionably correct.

Fact
1	Favorite songs: Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977) theme, Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) theme.
2	An internationally recognized physicist, Dr. Michio Kaku holds the Henry Semat Professorship in Theoretical Physics at the City College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. His goal is to help complete Einstein’s dream of a “theory of everything,” a single equation which will unify all the fundamental forces in the universe. His books _Hyperspace_ and _Visions_ became international best-sellers. He hosts a weekly hour-long radio program on science on several stations around the country.
