Co-Inventor of String Theory Dr. Michio Kaku on How Quantum Computers Will End Disease & Aging, Explain Parallel Universes & Reveal What Happens When We Die

Mayim Bialik's Breakdown

What if the technology that could save humanity…could also predict its end?


In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Michio Kaku — legendary cofounder of string field theory and author of Quantum Supremacy — breaks down the quantum revolution that’s about to change everything.


What is quantum computing, really?

Dr. Kaku explains its evolution from wild theory to world-altering reality — and how it could soon solve problems today’s supercomputers can’t even touch.


But that’s just the beginning. He reveals how quantum computing could:

- Extend human longevity and transform medicine

- Track dangerous asteroids before they strike

- Accelerate the search for extraterrestrial life

- Predict possible planetary catastrophes

- Help us study parallel universes


Are black holes actually gateways to interstellar travel?

Dr. Kaku explains the shocking physics that suggests they might not just destroy matter, but connect distant regions of space-time.


Are we alone in the universe?

He explains why he believes we are not, and how string theory may one day prove the existence of a multiverse.


Artificial Intelligence: Humanity’s Greatest Tool — or Its Biggest Threat?

Dr. Kaku shares why advancing AI deeply concerns him, why fighting AI may be the wrong strategy, and why he believes we may eventually need to merge with it instead.


Could AI and robots become our partners in space exploration?

Will artificial intelligence ever achieve consciousness?

What would physically merging with technology actually look like?

And what safeguards must we build before that future arrives?


Plus: Why he predicts we may see more “3I/ATLAS”-type interstellar comets entering our solar system, and what that means for Earth.


From quantum supremacy to the multiverse…from AI-human integration to black holes as cosmic gateways…this conversation explores the future of humanity at its most extreme edge.


The future isn’t science fiction. It’s already unfolding.
