| In the latest video in the series "Desktop Diaries," Science Friday visits theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku in his office. Kaku's office is full of decades worth of books, awards, and bygone technology. As he says, "it's pointless to have a nice clean desk, because it means you're not doing anything." |
