What does /sci/ think about Michio Kaku?

I don't know all that much about him, but watching a youtube video of him trying to explain string theory to normies made me want to start cutting again.
>>
His book Hyperspace is absolute garbage. Never read it. Don't know much about his actual scientific contributions though.

Guilty of being a science popularizer, but still better than Bill Nye or Neil deGrasse Tyson, since he actually wrote some textbooks.

How fucked am I? I know most of Physics 1 doesn't apply to the major but shouldn't I be enjoying it? Should I just switch to a math related major?

Brainlet here, how can I improve my scientific literacy? Assume I'm full on retardo and only know the basics. I'm tired of being rused by marketing and propaganda, I just want to learn the pure unadulterated facts.

Find a textbook in what you want to be educated in
If it's too hard go down a year in class subject until you find something just out of your comfort zone

Honestly, if your IQ is below 135, I wouldn't bother. You're not going to have the speed and concentration required to grasp most science.

He seems to claim tou just need a trpolar magnetic field and you can do it at absurdly low energies. Hes claiming multiple newtons of "thrust" per kilowatt, which should be very easy to confirm and rule out heat as an effect.

Truly bizzare. If real, why not publish? must be a scam or even pathological science.

Probably with bemused indifference. It's just some dude reporting scientific research to the public in a very stupid manner.

What is the difference between these two notions? Is contradiction a contradictory to it self and paradox is contradiction to whole theory?

>>8864221
They're both opposite ends of the same spectrum.
>>
>>8864221
You have it kind of backwards. A contradiction has no requirement of self-reference. If I say the sky is blue and Lucy says it's red, that's a contradiction, but not a paradox, Lucy's just wrong.
A paradox is a logical proposition that cannot be evaluated true or false, usually because of a self-contradictory statement or combination of statements.

How do you guys deal with being called nerds for doing math? Does it ever get to you?

Do you guys ever feel you are wasting your youth and will look back regretting you didn't do more fun things?

Any other problems you have that get in the way?
