Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Dr. Michio Kaku - Professor of theoretical Phyics, The City University of New York - Specialist in String Theory\NThe Universe in a Nutshell - The Physics of Everything)\Nand I specialize in something called String Theory.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm a physicist, and some people ask me the question:
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"What has physics done for me lately? I mean, do I get better color television?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Do I get better internet reception with physics?"
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the answer is: yes. You see, physics is at the very foundation of matter and energy.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We physicists invented the laser beam, we invented the transistor,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we helped to create the first computer, we helped to construct the internet,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I got interested in physics when I was a child.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Michio Kaku - Age 8)\NWhen I was 8, a great scientist had just died.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I still remember my elementary school teacher coming into the room and announcing that
