Physicist fact-checks Michio Kaku's biggest claims — quantum collapse of capitalism, Theory of Everything, black hole gateways. Does celebrity physics do more damage than good?
Brian Keating breaks down Michio Kaku's viral @TheDiaryOfACEO "World-Renowned Physicist: They Are Lying To You About UFOs & Reality - Michio Kaku" https://youtu.be/opB7_JXL0LA?si=RzVyEgwKtQRzs9Ao
I fact-check everything from quantum computing to black holes to the multiverse.
Why quantum computers won't kill capitalism overnight
String theory: candidate framework or confirmed Theory of Everything?
"Read the mind of God" — Einstein's phrase or Hawking's?
Tabby Star: aliens vs. dust, and why Kaku buries the retreat
Black holes as gateways, wormholes as cousins of black holes, and what spaghettification actually rules out
Celebrity physicists who present speculation as settled science set back the field more than any funding cut.
