    Michio Kaku on what makes a supergenius.
    Enzymes like Telomerase and Resveratrol, though not the Fountain of Youth unto themselves, offer tantalizing clues to how we might someday soon unravel the aging process.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    MICHIO KAKU
    Dr. Michio Kaku is the co-founder of string field theory, and is one of the most widely recognized scientists in the world today. He has written 4 New York Times Best Sellers, is the science correspondent for CBS This Morning and has hosted numerous science specials for BBC-TV, the Discovery/Science Channel. His radio show broadcasts to 100 radio stations every week. Dr. Kaku holds the Henry Semat Chair and Professorship in theoretical physics at the City College of New York (CUNY), where he has taught for over 25 years. He has also been a visiting professor at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, as well as New York University (NYU).
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    TRANSCRIPT:
    Michio Kaku: If you watch the "Big Bang Theory" on CBS television you see these clueless nerds who are doormats when it comes to the opposite sex, right. And you realize is there any basis in reality? First of all none of my friends are like that and all my friends are physicists, right.
    Well there is a kernel of truth and that is some of these individuals may suffer from something called Asperger’s Syndrome which is a mild form of autism. These people are clueless when it comes to social interactions. They don’t look you in the eye, for example. And yet they have fantastic mental and mathematical capabilities. We think, for example, that Isaac Newton had Asperger’s. The greatest scientist of all time was very strange. He had no friends to speak of. He could not carry a decent conversation and yet here he was spitting out some of the greatest theories in the history of science. Calculus. The Universal Law of Gravitation. The Theory of Optics. And we think he had Asperger’s Syndrome.
    Now Asperger’s Syndrome is a mild form of autism and in autism we have what are called savants. That is people that have an IQ of maybe 80 but have incredible mathematical and musical abilities. In fact, some of these individuals can hear one symphony and just play it by memory on a piano. Other people could be in a helicopter, have a helicopter ride over Manhattan, see the entire New York harbor and then from memory sketch the entire harbor. In fact, if you want to see it go to JFK Airport in New York City and you will see it as you enter the international terminal. So what is it about these people? Well, first of all a lot of them had injuries to the left temporal lobe. One individual had a bullet as a child go right through the left temporal lobe. Another person dove into a swimming pool and injured very badly the left temporal lobe. And these people wound up with incredible mathematical abilities as a consequence. And so what is it about their brains?
    Well Einstein’s brain has actually been preserved. Einstein when he died had an autopsy in which case the pathologist stole the brain without permission of the family. He just realized that he was sitting next to something historic, took the brain, took it home with him, and it was sitting in a jar in his home for decades. He even drove across the country with the jar inside his trunk. And there’s even a TV special where you can actually see the cut up brain of Albert Einstein. And you realize first of all the brain is a little bit different. You can’t tell by looking at it that it’s so remarkably different but you realize that the connections between the prefontal cortex and the parietal lobe - a connection that is accentuated in people that do abstract reasoning is thickened. So there definitely is a difference in the brain of Einstein. But the question is did it make Einstein or did Einstein make this change of the brain?
    Are champions born or are they made? That still is not known because people who exercise mental abilities, mathematical abilities, they can thicken that part of the brain themselves. So we know that people who do well in mathematics, brain scans clearly show that their brains are slightly different from the average brain. So in conclusion, we’re still children with regards to understanding how this process takes place. Tonight don’t go home and bang yourself on the left temporal lobe. We don’t know how it works. We just know that in a tiny fraction of these cases people with injury to the left temporal lobe, some of the become super geniuses.

      Still a very handsome man ! Young attitude and loves learning !!
      And the Bible says Psalm 103 verses 1 to 3 , Bless the Lord , oh my soul and FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS . verse 2 says " Who forgiveth all thine iniquities , and :who fills thy mouth with good things SO THAT THY YOUTH is RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE'S ect ..." As Derek Prince emphasised, there is a
      connection between having your mouth filled with good things, and having your youth renewed like the eagle's . !
      This can be taken to mean two things it can indicate the importance of a decent diet , or even the wholesomeness of what we say when we speak.
      In a passage of the NEW Testament, Paul asks " He who would see MANY GOOD DAYS - Let his lips refrain from evil , and his mouth from speaking lies. "

I had a Cardiac Arrest at the age of 74 and from that event my health has regressed to worse levels .I think it's too late to do anything about my health . I also have cataracts and this was the result of medication for the heart problems. I wish there was a natural way instead of pharmaceutical drugs to put my health right ! Given up !

Vegetables are also packed with agrotoxics and organic food isn't affordable and practical for most people. So I guess the key must be in science, drugs, treatments that can heal us and prevent us from getting old and die.

    What he says is true. People always get my age wrong even if I give them multiple tries. Here's what I do: eat only unit I no longer FEEL hungry, even if it only takes one or two bites - then stop. Put the food away for when I FEEL hungry again. Repeat the process until you are able to eat less often too. This does not reverse aging, it only slows it. I'm 37 and people think I'm 22 - 25, facially and bodily.

    Things are constantly changing you couldnt possibly get bored. There is so much history and knowledge to learn while the future still hasnt even happened. I would love to stick around and watch humanity grow. I think it sucks I missed out on so much in the past knowing im gonna miss out on even more. The colonization of other planets. People flying around in space. Transporting yourself to other places. All types of things that if you like to learn you could never get bored with.

    Interesting idea: If cancer is a collection of immortal cells that keep growing and growing and growing until it impedes the other body functions, what would happen if a person's ENTIRE body was comprised of immortal cells? Would that person be theoretically immune to the effects of aging? Or would that person's body keep growing at such a rate that they would eventually become gigantic in size?

      There is exactly zero evidence that stimulating telomerase leads to cancer (called oncogenesis). It's not logical to think that because cancer cells stimulate telomerase, the reverse is true. Ie, stimulating telomerase would lead to cancer or uncontrolled cell division.

    Kaku isn't talking about fasting for a bit. He's talking about a change in your diet. Eat 30% less and you'll live longer.
    I was born with a really crappy body. I ate a lot in the beginning part of my (30 year) life. My body started to break down rapidly. Then I started to eat a lot less and did a lot better; less injury and more energy. Now I eat 1 to 2 small meals a day and have more energy than anyone I work with. I also go for hour long hike/hunts every day. This is on top of the fact that I have a fresh knee injury.
    Eat less, exercise more. It will improve your life.

      Don't go over a threshold and you'll be fine.
      Less food also means less energy, strength, and endurance though. Which may actually reduce lifespan if you have a strenuous job. I'd say the starvation method, which isn't really starving, can boost your lifespan about 20-30% but only for those with like a desk job.

    • @TonyMontana-zk6ib
      @TonyMontana-zk6ib 8 лет назад

      If you starve you won't last long, i mean the diet will eventually break. What you need is intermittent fasting. I followed reduce the food intake by such and such percentage rule and it worked really well for me. Its a complicated process to discuss but it worked. The basic rule is flexibility and adopting. You must not starve and you shouldn't eat like you did before either, you should play see-saw between the two so that the result would be extensively reduced food intake thereby calories without prolonged starving. Be ready for anemia.

Now something less "bitchy"- I cherish life just as much as any other right headed being on this planet. "Life" has such high value because of its limits! We are productive because we are in a race against time since the day we're born and we do anything possible to make our journy more comfortable. Being on a journey with no destination makes it pointless. MANY remarkable people had a short but intense lifes - Martin Luther King, Jr., Jimmy Hendrix, Elvis, FREDDIE MERCURY and a little girl called Anne Frank! On the other hand many lived beyomd 100 and yet this is the only thing they acomplished!

      Marina Toshkovska Life has such high value not because of its limits, but because of its rarity in the known universe (especially talking about intelligent life). The "natural" limits of our life have been pushed forward many times during history, and i'm sure that you wouldn't refuse to receive a cure against whatsoever disease. This is exactly the point. I don't see any beauty in the progressive accumulation of cellular damage in our body that eventually leads to death. Anyway, your mood is very common between people; i don't know, it's probably related with the fact that thinking to the possibilities of these new technologies implies an all-out change on the perspective that one have with his idea of life...anyway, i'm already trying to do the best that i can with this life, and i'm not by any mean scared by its possible end. What i hope is that more and more people, you included, will eventually understand that to expand our experience as humans could give us the chance to eliminate a lot of suffering in this world.
