Exploration
The "Exploration" radio show is an hour-long science program heard nationally. Exploration covers the world of science, war and peace, and the environment. The show has commentary and interviews with top scientists and environmentalists.
On Explorations this week, Dr. Kaku’s first guest is William H. Calvin, an American theoretical neurophysiologist and professor at the University of Washington in Seattle. He is the author of A Brief History of the Mind: From Apes to Intellect and Beyond. He is able to go back in our past and determine the spark that allowed us to separate from the rest of apes – the origin of the human race. He is known for popularizing neuroscience and evolutionary biology, including the hybrid of those two fields, neural Darwinism.
In the second part of the hour, Dr. Kaku speaks with Dr. S. Jay Olshansky, a professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Illinois at Chicago concentrating on biodemography and gerontology. He will share with listeners the science of the aging process. He believes aging is caused by errors at the cellular level, and that we can learn how to stop aging.
Exploration is an hour-long radio program on science, technology, politics, and the environment. Topics covered include black holes, time travel, higher dimensions, string theory, wormholes, search for extra-terrestrial life, dark matter and dark energy, the future of space travel, genetic engineering, the aging process, the future of medicine, the human body shop, artificial intelligence, the future of computers and robots, as well as topics from science fiction.
