#323 - Michio Kaku - Black Holes, Big Ba...

Chris Williamson
About this episode

Michio Kaku is the Professor of Theoretical Physics in the City College of New York, a futurist and an author.

What happened before the big bang? Is there a white hole on the other end of a black hole? Can time go backwards? Are there other dimensions? Are there other parallel universes? Is there a multiverse of universes?

These are all questions that are beyond our current understanding and can't be resolved using the Standard Model and General Relativity. Michio Kaku is on the quest for The God Equation - a theory of everything and today, we get to find out how close he is to discovering it.
