Why the Era of Supercomputers Will Rewrite Human Civilization with Michio Kaku - StarTalk

Why the Post-Silicon Era of Supercomputers Will Rewrite Human Civilization with Michio Kaku - StarTalk Are we witnessing the final days of the Silicon Age? Join astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, comic co-host Chuck Nice, and theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku as they explore how the next generation of quantum supercomputers will shatter the limits of classical technology and fundamentally reshape human civilization. As Moore’s Law reaches its physical barrier, silicon microchips can no longer keep up with humanity's most complex questions. By harnessing the bizarre rules of subatomic physics—such as quantum superposition and entanglement—quantum computing promises to solve equations that would take today’s fastest supercomputers billions of years to calculate. From modeling molecular medicine to cure diseases and supercharging artificial intelligence, to simulating the birth of the cosmos itself, we are standing on the edge of the greatest technological leap in history. In this extended deep dive into the frontiers of physics and exploration, Neil deGrasse Tyson is also joined by NASA astrophysicist Michelle Thaller, Princeton physicist J. Richard Gott III, legendary Star Trek actor William Shatner, and astronaut Scott Kelly. Together, they unravel the secrets of gravitational waves, black hole collisions, the mathematics of time loops and cosmic strings, and what extreme polar expeditions on Earth reveal about our future among the stars. #StarTalk #NeilDeGrasseTyson #Astrophysics #SciFiPhysics #CosmicQueries #SpaceExploration #BlackHoles #UniverseMysteries #ScienceEducation #Space
