Michio Kaku Wants Fellow Scientists to “Keep an Open Mind” About UFOs

Imagine that the aliens are millions more advanced than we are.
Millions of years more advanced

Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist who is also a science popularizer, has made bold claims about alien life. His message to fellow scientists about UFOs was not unusual.

In a series tweets, Kaku urged physicists not to dismiss the possibility that UFOs could be evidence of advanced lifeforms visiting Earth. He said that UFOs could be millions of years ahead of humans in technology.

Kaku tweeted that he believes it is a valid scientific question to inquire where these UFO sightings came from. He later added, "Imagine if aliens are millions more advanced than we; new laws of Physics open up. So keep your mind open.

People have asked me questions about my UFO position since I've appeared on numerous TV science programs. It is a valid scientific question to inquire about the origins of UFO sightings. This does not necessarily mean that the UFOs are from another planet. Dr. Michio Kaku (@michiokaku) September 1, 2021

We should be open to this possibility. Many physicists doubt ET because it is so far away from us. However, this assumption assumes ET is just a century ahead.

Imagine that the aliens are millions more advanced than we. New laws of physics emerge, so be open-minded. Dr. Michio Kaku (@michiokaku) September 1, 2021

This is a terrible idea

Kaku stated earlier this year that technology advancements like the James Webb telescope have enabled humans to find alien life in less than 100 years.

He said that reaching out to these lifeforms is a bad idea.

Some of my colleagues believe that we should reach out. He told The Guardian that he thought it was a terrible idea. We all know the fate of Montezuma, who met Corts in Mexico hundreds of years ago. Personally, I believe that there are friendly aliens out there, but it is impossible to be sure. We should make contact, but I believe we will.
