1:04:03
Published: Thu May 20 2021
Description
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.

Gravitational waves can give us a sensitivity to understand the moment of creation, as detectors in outer space can be separated by millions of miles.
41:41 - 46:04 (04:22)
Summary
Gravitational waves can give us a sensitivity to understand the moment of creation, as detectors in outer space can be separated by millions of miles. This can allow us to witness the shock wave that gave birth to the Big Bang.
