UNI-verse Don't Make Me Laugh


If you have ever watched anything on the Science Channel or Discovery or National Geographic or even the History Channel for that matter, then you have probably seen this guy, Dr. Michio Kaku. He's a physicist and he's smart- as in "I co-founded string theory" smart and he is an excellent communicator. Like Hawking's book A Brief History of Time or Carl Sagan's series Cosmos he makes science digestible to us lay-folk. His optimism and excitement for science is contagious, not an easy feat considering our society seems to revel in its dystopian outlook of the future. Standing on the cutting edge of Theoretical physics it's people like Kaku that make science cool and get the world excited about the possibilities of tomorrow. Now make sure your floor is clean as you will be resting your jaw there for the next 10 minutes; warning mindfuck ahead!

42 Years Ago


"A dark age is not just when you as a civilization have forgotten how to do something, it's when you forget that you ever could."

Rocket scientist Jeff Greason, one of Time magazines "Inventors of the Year" and president and co-founder of XCOR; a leader in the field of reusable long life rockets, examines where NASA has failed and how liberty and free enterprise will lead us into the final frontier.
