World-Renowned Physicist: The Truth About Aliens! UFOs Are Definitely Robotic - Michio Kaku

Immortality is tantalizing close. And you think it's possible within the laws of physics and biology. Yeah. In fact, we know that there's a clock in our body called the telomers that tracks how long we're gonna live. And there's something called telomerase which stops the clock. Which means that we can live forever. That's the good news. But the bad news was we found out that cancer also uses telomers and telomeres to live forever. And so the question is can we apply that to humans without waking up the cancers. But this is not science fiction, this is the future. And for seventy-one years you've been studying physics and how science will shape human destiny. So how is life likely to be different in the future? Well, decade by decade we see the enormous progress that we humans have made. For example, we'll probably be on the moon, maybe on to Mars. And also the artificial intelligence will help us to cure cancer and many diseases. However For the first time in human history, we have the potential of destroying ourselves with designer germs, nuclear weapons, perhaps artificial intelligence. Like this is a quantum computer. This is so powerful that even the CIA is worried about the fact that these could break into any known computer. Including banks. Even Bitcoin. That's right. So capitalism would vanish. Society would come to a halt. And what about humanoid robots? I would look seriously at the possibility of merging with them. So that we don't have a civil war.

Realize that we're at the edge of a knife. You tilt it the wrong way and there's world war. You tilt it the other way and there's food and luxury for everyone. And it's up to us to decide which way the knife will go. Dr. Michio Kaku. I've waited a long time to ask someone these questions. Where do you believe we came from? Do you think it's plausible that in fact we are living in a simulation? And then Is there any evidence when we look out at the stars that there is non human life out there.
