Great forum by Dr. Kaku. All the better as he was speaking at his high school alma mater, describing the projects he undertook as he was a student there. Wonderful, inspirational talk!Written on Mar 29 2011

Excellent. We love watching Dr. Kaku's shows on DSC and Science Channel and he was just as personable and entertaining in person. Well organized, informative, intriguing and if you want more in depth analysis/predictions you can find them in his book. Thoroughly enjoyed learning he grew up around here and his down-to-earth stories.Written on Mar 29 2011
