Michio Kaku Quotes

Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, time travel's a nightmare. Don't go down that path.

When we see the shadow on our images, are we seeing the time 11 minutes ago on Mars? Or are we seeing the time on Mars as observed from Earth now? It's like time travel problems in science fiction. When is now; when was then?

People who think about time travel stories sometimes think that going back in time would be fun because you would have all the information you needed to be much more astute than the people there, when the truth is of course you wouldn't.

I have a secret project which adds four hours every day to the 24 hours we have. There's a bit of time travel involved.

The one thing humans can't control is time, but what if one has the power to do so is the core theme of '24.'

Time is not a line but a dimension, like the dimensions of space. If you can bend space you can bend time also, and if you knew enough and could move faster than light you could travel backwards in time and exist in two places at once.

I spent a week there one afternoon.

The bottom line is that time travel is allowed by the laws of physics.

When you look at the calculation, it's amazing that every time you try to prove or disprove time travel, you've pushed Einstein's theory to the very limits where quantum effects must dominate. That's telling us that you really need a theory of everything to resolve this question. And the only candidate is string theory.

Originally, the burden of proof was on physicists to prove that time travel was possible. Now the burden of proof is on physicists to prove there must be a law forbidding time travel.

I've always been a big fan of time travel, and I'm very into the notion that some day we'll be able to do it. Beam me up!

I'd had nearly four years of experience looking at these clocks, but their sluggishness never ceased to surprise. If I am ever told that I have one day to live, I will head straight to the hallowed halls of Winter Park High School, where a day has been known to last a thousand years.

Time overlaps itself. A breath breathed from a passing breeze is not the whole wind, neither is it just the last of what has passed and the first of what will come, but is more--let me see--more like a single point plucked on a single strand of a vast spider web of winds, setting the whole scene atingle. That way; it overlaps ... as prehistoric ferns grow from bathtub planters.

Our bodies are the time machine.

She'd have to propel herself into the future by whatever means possible or she'd be trapped forever in a place whose times had already passed.

Nothing in the universe can travel at the speed of light, they say, forgetful of the shadow's speed.

How serious can a movie about time-traveling robots be? You want it to be cool and fun.

In cartoons, in movies, time passes differently. There are flashbacks and flashfowards.

Imaginary time is a new dimension, at right angles to ordinary, real time.

I myself believe that there will one day be time travel because when we find that something isn't forbidden by the over-arching laws of physics we usually eventually find a technological way of doing it.

Most of what Einstein said and did has no direct impact on what anybody reads in the Bible. Special relativity, his work in quantum mechanics, nobody even knows or cares. Where Einstein really affects the Bible is the fact that general relativity is the organizing principle for the Big Bang.

The magical, supernatural force that is with us every second is time. We can't even comprehend it. It's such an illusion, it's such a strange thing.

I like science fiction, I like fantasy, I like time travel, so I had this idea: What if you had a phone that could call into the past?

If you have a wormhole, then you can turn them into time machines for going backward in time.
