That guy is so smart it makes my face hurt. In a perfect world, guys like that would get all the 'tang. Sadly, in our world, it seems to be reserved for guys like Fred Durst.

I already know who this guy is. I was disappointed when I didn't see / meet him at AAAS this February. He is one of my heros.
Multi-Edit: He is one of those people who truly inspire innovation in our world.

I somehow doubt those who spend every waking hour chasing it from age 14 can ever get this smart.

This guy could (and probably did). You don't get smart: you're BORN smart. He was born smart.
he is not only a brilliant physicist, but an excellant speaker as well.. the world of science and mathmatics needs more like him.
fairly interesting theory.. I would like to read it
I like this dude...does he have any other good interviews?
I think PBS has an entire series where he is the host. Watching him brings back memories of watching Carl Sagan in science class.
Michio Kaku also hosts a show on the Science channel, and frequently appears on "The Universe" on History.
If you like to read your pop science, Brian Greene has an excellent string theory book. He's very good at explaining very complex concepts. His explanation of the photoelectric effect makes more sense than anything I learned in either the physics or electrical engineering departments as an undergrad.
Also, Richard Feynman wrote a bunch of good books about his life and times as a physicist.
For as much interest as I have in those things...I'm horrible at math. No engineering or physics for me.
