Michio Kaku, an American theoretical physicist, was born on January 24, 1947 in San Jose, California to a Japanese immigrant couple. As a physicist, Michio Kaku is more of a futurist. As of now, his focus is fixed on the string field theory. He is known as a popularizer of science and balances his time between hosting two radio programs and being a writer of several best sellers.

As a young boy, Michio Kaku attended the Cubberly High School in Palo Alto, where he played first board on a chess team. In 1968, Michio Kaku finished his Bachelor of Science degree and graduated as a summa cum laude at the prestigious Harvard University. Afterwards, he continued his studies in Berkeley Radiation Laboratory at the University of California, where he received his Ph.D. in 1972. Michio Kaku was able to share his vast knowledge in the field by holding a lecture at the Princeton University a year after graduation.

Currently, Michio Kaku serves as a chairman and professor in theoretical physics at the Henry Semat. In addition to that, he also holds several chair and professorship positions in a few organizations including the graduate center of the City University of New York, as well as the City College of New York.

As a bestselling author, Michio Kaku has recently finished a book entitled Physics of the Impossible. The book basically points out and examines several futuristic concepts of technology including the technology of invisibility, precognition, teleportation, antimatter engines, starships, time travel and other related ideas. In addition to the Physics of the Impossible, Michio Kaku had also written a number of doctoral textbooks. Most of his written works had discussed more on the string theory and the quantum field theory. All in all he has published around 170 journals and articles covering a range of topics including supergravity, superstring theory, supersymmestry and the hadronic physics.
