    appearance, as if he had been drawn by a composite artist, based on
    the memories of an unreliable witness. It is to do with the
    smoothness of his skin being at odds with the silver hair that flows
    down to his shoulders. The latter reflects his age, 61; the former
    suggests he is a teenager.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2008/03/23/sv_michiokaku.xml&page=1"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.telegraph.co.uk/img/750798AA-97C7-4613-A3F6-698FE23BEC39" alt="Michio Kaku.

Prof Kaku has a gift for
    communicating complex scientific ideas in a way that lay people can
    understand. He argues, moreover, that good physics should be simple,
    so simple that it can be understood as an image. I'll let him
    explain. 'A good physicist is driven by a childlike fascination
    and imagination. If we find ourselves getting jaded or bored we have
    to try to recapture that childishness. Einstein used to do that. He
    could be quite childish. He wanted to get access to that feeling of wonderment.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E3BBC08C-6D2B-4E35-A73E-B9A86CF8F12C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
