Join host Tom Billio, serial entrepreneur and co-founder of the billion dollar brand Quest Nutrition, on a journey to unlock your potential and realize your vision of success.

Welcome to Impact Theory.

You're here, my friends, because you believe that human potential is nearly limitless, but you know that having potentials not the same is actually doing something with it.

So our goal with this show and company is to introduce you to the people and ideas that will help you actually execute on your dreams.

Alright, today's guest is a theoretical physicist and the co-creator of String Field Theory.

He's also a futurist and bestselling author many times over, who, while still in high school, created a 2.3 million electron volt particle accelerator in his garage that required 400 pounds of transformer steel and 22 miles of copper wire.

This device, astonishing for anyone at any age, caught the attention of Edward Teller, the father of the hydrogen bomb, who then helped him secure a scholarship to Harvard.

An unlikely outcome perhaps for a kid whose family had only recently been released from a World War II internment camp before he was born.

But despite being an unlikely candidate for the Ivy League, he graduated first in his class at Harvard and has since gone on to become one of the most famous faces in modern science.

He's written several PhD level textbooks and authored more than 70 scholarly articles published in some of the world's most prestigious journals, as well as being a professor who's dedicated his life to picking up where Einstein left off in the quest to develop a theory of everything.

In addition to his work in academia, he's also written a string of New York Times bestselling books on popular topics such as parallel worlds, the physics of the future, the future of the mind, and his most recent book on the future of humanity itself.

His way of making even the most complicated topics, both accessible and exciting, has made him a globally renowned speaker and one of the most sought after contributors in science.

He's hosted four or collaborated with virtually every science-based channel out there, including Discovery, BBC, ABC, the Science Channel, and the History Channel.

He's also made guest appearances on practically every major talk show and been a featured columnist for essentially every popular science-based publication that there is.

If you have a pulse, you've almost certainly seen him somewhere, making you believe in the beauty, wonder, and world of possibilities inherent in science.

So please, help me in welcoming the host of both science fantastic and explorations in science, Dr. Michio Kaku.

Dr. Kaku, thank you so much for being here.

Thank you. After hearing such a great introduction, I can't wait to hear the speaker myself.

Well, the good news is he's going to be here, so very excited times are upon us both.

Uh-huh. I want to start with your parents. You are insanely optimistic in terms of the future when a lot of people are wildly pessimistic,

but you seem like given that your family wasn't turned right before you were born. I think your older brother was born in the internals.
