Not a kook. Legit scientist. He has a PhD in theoretical physics, not a theoretical PhD in physics. While he spends a lot of time as a science communicator, he has his bona fides. Yes, it's all just theories and intuition like all nascent science.

    A PhD is not a "get out of Jail" card for kookery. He is definitely part of the "woo" people in his field.

    You can be both credentialed and a kook, can't you? I remember him from his regular guest appearances on Art Bell's radio show.

    I remember from a podcast with a guy in the same area of Kaku saying that he's not seem with good eyes in their community for saying things that doesn't make much sense.

  • There are plenty of crazies who have their PhD in some branch of physics/math. One of the reasons I stopped at a bachelor's in physics. Its almost a prerequisite. But from what I've read of him in the past, he's pretty far out there.
