Michio Kaku has no credibility

"Michio Kaku is a media whore that has no problem spreading absolute lies as long as he gets press. The hack USED the public's fear of radiation to try to scuttle the Cassini mission... I watched that BASTARD lie through his teeth about that mission... He is NOT a scientist at all, he is a self promoting whore first... Take what that he says witha TON of salt!"

I fully agree. Kaku is a half-assed Carl Sagan wanabee. He's not a genuine scienitist. I would argue that Michio Kaku's advocacy of String Theory is proof positive that it's wrong.

My big quarrel with String Theory is it's too complicated. A "theory of everything" should be based upon some really simple observation analogous to the postulates of Euclidean geometry. The first principle might read like:

The nonexistence of X would bring about its existence, therefore X must exist. X coming into existence would be an instant of causation and therefore a single quanta of time.

This above statement is rubbish but something like it that was mathematically rigorous could serve as a basis for a Theory of Everything. The trick is to start from total chaos without causation and end up with the Standard Model of Fundamental Particles along with the field equations.
