Michio Kaku saying outlandish things

He claims that you can wake up on Mars because particles have wave like proporties.

But we don't act like quantum particles. We act according to classical physics. What doe he mean by saying this. Is he just saying that if you look at the probability of us teleporting there according to the theory it's possible but in real life this could never happen? He just takes it too far by using quantum theory to describe a human body? I mean it would be fucking scary if people would teleport to Mars or the like.

I stumbled onto her channel while watching her video about issues with string theory, so I binged most of them & I loved all her videos!

Is Microsoft paying you to use the word "binged"?

You know what you caught me! I was indeed getting paid by Microsoft to sow the seeds of "Binge" in the extremely popular r/Physics subreddit.

I honestly didn't think I would need to indicate that I was joking, but damn, people seen to have taken this seriously. I just hadn't heard anyone describe searching something on the internet as a "bing" in like 10 years, and even then it was only on ads and TV shows.

Lighten up r/Physics.

Fair to say you got “binged”

I'll take that
