Dr Michio Kaku talks about American education

dupeof=http://videosift.com/video/Dr-Michio-Kaku-on-Education-in-America
Well, one focuses narrowly on American education, the other on multiple things. In all honesty I care far more about education in America than business.
I think the condensed format significantly alters the focus this vid.
And, @gwiz665 upvoted it, so he should be the one to decide. Your verdict, oh honorable gwiz665?
Either way, I blame @eric3579

If a kid isn't interested in science by the time they hit freshman year of college, it isn't a failure of the college.
Get 'em when they are young.
It is a failure of everything...
Physicist Michio Kaku: Batteries vs. Gasoline
You forgot the sarcasm tag.
Or did you?
>> ^Lawdeedaw:
Yeah, but is gasoline efficient? How come he refuses to tell us that!
Nuclear expert warns Fukushima is "Chernobyl on steroids"
Expert: Despite Japanese Gov’t Claims of Decreasing Radiation, Fukushima a "Ticking Time Bomb"
13 April 2011
DR. MICHIO KAKU: Well, Tokyo Electric has been in denial, trying to downplay the full impact of this nuclear accident. However, there’s a formula, a mathematical formula, by which you can determine what level this accident is. This accident has already released something on the order of 50,000 trillion becquerels of radiation. You do the math. That puts it right smack in the middle of a level 7 nuclear accident. Still, less than Chernobyl. However, radiation is continuing to leak out of the reactors. The situation is not stable at all. So, you’re looking at basically a ticking time bomb. It appears stable, but the slightest disturbance—a secondary earthquake, a pipe break, evacuation of the crew at Fukushima—could set off a full-scale meltdown at three nuclear power stations, far beyond what we saw at Chernobyl.
...
So, when the utility says that things are stable, it’s only stable in the sense that you’re dangling from a cliff hanging by your fingernails. And as the time goes by, each fingernail starts to crack. That’s the situation now.
Just 1% - told by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
The difference is actually a bit more, the traditional view is 2%, but I've heard Craig Venter say its probably a bit more than that, maybe as much as 5%. But anyway, like other commenters have suggested, this is a bit psuedo-biologistic by Tyson. He still has a point, but I think hes best when he sticks to astronomoy and astrophysics. Difference in genetic makeup is not the same thing as difference in phenotype. For example, only relatively few genes control the development of the entire brain, but even if we identify them all and understand them all, we are still far from understanding the brain itself, because the brain is more than just a product of genes, its a product of development and lots of complex interactions.
But his point does pretty much stand, we could all look like blabbering morons to more intelligent creatures. Atleast Tyson is not anyware near as idiotic as Michio Kaku on evolution, that was just embarrassing
What Happens if Black Holes Collide?
Semi related, but I can't submit videos from the Big Think yet, Dr. Michio Kaku talks about Which Came First, the Galaxy or the Black Hole?
paradigm shift-abraham hicks
Upvote for the good background music and michio kaku, as for the things being said: new age bullsh## (my humble opinion)
Sixty Symbols on the Nobel Prize for Physics 2010
The legendary Michio Kaku discuses how Graphene Will Change The Way We Live talking of its strength and conductive properties in ways they don't talk about in the video. Great intro article if you want to learn more about the material.
'Back to the Future' vision a reality?
She sounds very close to the Family Guy reporter, though not quite as nasaly hehe.
And Michio Kaku is the man. I love watching and reading his stuff.
Michio Kaku speaks sense about the BP oil spill
Still works for me.

Prof. Michio Kaku: Nuking The Oil Spill Option
I don't think Michio is a geologist. All this oil is basically coming out of a small drilled hole extending a long way downwards to the reservoir. The idea is to seal that hole, which seems quite plausible. It's not like other fissures could open because the oil is just too deep.
Also on the radiation issue, there have been tons of underwater tests and such a big ocean can easily absorb some nuclear material without ever reaching dangerous levels. It's estimated that the oceans already contain contain 10^13 kg of uranium (from natural sources).
I'd prefer some radioactive material to oil gushing out until August. Still, it might not be a good idea, but I think it should be studied instead of immediately dismissed.
Michio Kaku discusses the Science of Mass Effect 2
That was always the biggest question I had when I heard about this "cylinder" of light bending around an object. Yes, if you bent light around you, so that it recombined on the other side, you would in effect be totally blind because no light was reaching your eyes.
Michio Kaku described this as a problem in a video I saw here on the Sift a while back, and he said so far you'd basically have to cut two eye holes in the cylinder, but then there would just be two eyes floating around the room.
