You rail against science fiction while Dr. Kaku tries to figure out how to make those cool ideas into reality.
Not even close to being the same thing. Even he would say not to take his word for it. Ethics in science still requires challenge. I doubt you'd ever get him to say, "never question me".
He speculates some really freaky stuff. But he is not getting any of that out of fiction. Nor would he want to be in error about anything he might claim. I still is doing what he is doing under scrutiny, and like I said, even at the QM level they are not all in agreement all the time.
Find me one scientist that ever produced anything useful that left what they thought at "sounds good" and didn't do anything after that. He would not be a scientist at all if he simply looked at a claim and merely wished it.
