lol michio kaku is my favorite physicst. funny how people say "Oh robots r gonna rule the world some day" and they have the intellect of a retarded cockroach!

i like michio. he knows a lot about physics and he is very smart but he also has a sense of humour and he knows how to talk to people.

Checked it out. Very cool. Thanks.

Moore's law has been a bit sidetracked. Multi-cored CPU's have lengthened silicon electronics speed. This video is obviously over 5 years old. It's still interesting anyway.

The main problem with Michio is that he seems to be just throwing out random numbers and hoping they match up. It's very unscientific of him, if you ask me.

Though it's true that digital computers of today work nothing like our brains. There's an interesting video on here, a presentation by Kwabena Boahen, which highlights the differences between digital and brain computing, and how we can make a computer operate more like our brains. Definitely an interesting watch.

The roadrunner does 1.7 petaflops, about 1.026 quadrillion calculations per second.

However Michio is wrong (or speculating), the human brain has roughly 1 trillion cells with 1 trillion connections between them, that gives a potential 10 quadrillion instructions per second, but no one can really say what we really do.

None of that matters though because brain functions are not digital sequential, they are multifaceted, simultaneous logic processes.
No computer can do that... yet.

im so bored on aim

This shows that Michio Kaku was clueless and it is shameful that he discounted Kurzweils predictions. Kaku is a theoretical physicist and Kurweil actually makes products. At 2:18 Kaku says Moores law will collapse in 15 years. Kaku's recent appearances in the Science channel shows that he finally is catching up to what Kurzweil has been writing many years before. Kaku is acting like a politician.

That guy is a genius

whats with creativity? thats something hard to program a robot. to invent or design something on its own.
