Not trying to condemn, criticize or burn, I just agree with what Dr Michio Kaku is saying. As a side note, I'm from a poor country and I obviously admired Americans a lot before arriving. I came to America to get educated by them, but I was disappointed that ALL my professors were foreigners. In a class of 45, 4 students were American.

Phill Munyaradzi - What you said sounds pretty common for foreign students in the U.S., but the real question is “Why?” To me, it’s obvious, in the United States, STEM jobs pay FAR less than other professional jobs AND STEM jobs require constantly learning new skills (without increasing compensation). Also, foreign workers get compensation that can’t be given to Americans - the right to live and work in the United States. Americans are born with those rights.

Hear Hear Dr Kaku!!! I've been teaching Maths, Physics and IT in the UK for almost 20 years and, the education here is in a serious state! I've always wondered why it is that America and Britain, two of the worlds most innovative, creative and scientific countries back in the day, decided one day to give all that up and create economies based on cheap credit, consumerism and services... And would rather other countries make the things we need at extortionately low cost and prices. This insane doctrine makes NO sense and now, with consumer debt at unstable levels and the economies of both countries at the edge of the Abyss, now we begin to realize, late in the day, that having a highly educated society that's skilled at all the STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) is a DAMN GOOD THING!!! Not only for our country's economic survival but also for the good and well being of it's citizens. I mean, America was landing men on the moon back in the late 60's and early 70's yet, recently, there's been all this religious mumbo-jumbo, like Intelligent Design being promoted. Another danger of scientific illiteracy is more religious fundamentalism and nonsense (and more crap reality TV!!!).

This actually depends, not on the understanding of the students but from their potential. I have dyslexia and adhd both contribute in my learning disorder. Eventhough I have an iq that can be consider as genius, I'm failing all kinds of subjects in school. For many years I try to cope with them, and finally I can beat these learning disorder when I'm in highschool. I only learn multiplication in highschool and when I finished highschool I got straight A and granted a scholarship. So better than looking at their grades, see their potential to study. Many people said that iq not a good measurements of intelligent, and it's not. It's show the potential of the person, and a glimpse of their future.

The reason more foreign trained scientists exist and are better trained and educated is because most of them have completely free education. So while parents in North America have to mortgage their homes, and students have to be in debt for life, just to be educated and get to the Ph.D. level. Many other nations offer fully subsidized education right up to the Ph.D. level, and they even pay for the students living expenses and food. They come out with no debt, no stress. So America will never be able to compete with that. As long as education costs people six figures to pursue it, and be under a mountain of debt while their international cohorts get a free ride, it will never change.

+Dorfler I think what you said is true. However, it is one of the many factors. As many must have known, graduate students in the PhD programs are paid a stipend, however little. Their tuitions are paid for by the research funding. Also importantly, as Dr. Kaku pointed out, it is not PhD graduates from foreign countries that matters a lot, it's students who come to the U.S. to study for their PhD programs that matters. We have to keep in mind that foreign PhD credentials have credentialing and authentication issues. The reason a higher proportion of foreign-born students participate in science and engineering PhD programs is because the high school system in their native countries are very competitive compared with our US high school systems. By "competitive" I mean survival of the fittest - due to the limited number of college seats relative to the size of the populations competing to get in. Many countries' high school curricula exceed the first 1.5 years of college level problem solving skills in math and sciences. If we compare, for example, the past Hong Kong Advanced Level Math/Physics/Chemistry test questions and syllabi with those of AP Math/Physics/Chemistry, we will discover many striking differences. Their bachelor level knowledge overlaps with our Master level knowledge and skill sets. Of course, there are always exceptions. There are very intelligent and very unintelligent people in every country.

Every single study I've seen on this topic debunks this theory. The last round of this talking point was that we didn't have enough STEM graduates, and then studies came out showing we had plenty of STEM graduates, but companies simply do not want to pay them, and older people in academia basically never retire anymore, so there are no jobs for them to gain experience there. Another claim was that the US is failing to produce engineers at the rate China does, and then you look into the data and they are comparing US bachelors degrees in engineering to what are basically associates, or 2 year degrees in China, and calling them both "engineers." It fits the "America sucks at everything now" mindset a lot of people have, but it's totally been debunked now.

Yes, I agree. The education system in the US needs a complete overhaul.

The H1B issue is self perpetuating. The problem is not that America doesn't have any smart people. The problem is that our economy rewards the wrong things. What American kid is going to bust his hump through an Electrical Engineering program so that he can start at $70K when his aunt that barely graduated high school is making $225K a year as a real estate agent? We have become a largely transaction based economy. So difficult majors are less appealing. So then we bring in MORE H1B people because no matter how little they will pay a guy from India in America, it's still a ton better than anything that he could hope for in India. So wages are further eroded and round and round it goes. This is not legal but it is reality.

this man gives me hope

I love this Dr. Very smart man.

I have taught college in Central America and in the United States for most of my working life. In the college where I taught in the US, more than 75% of the students should never have graduated from junior high let alone high school. Our Academic Dean told us if we didn't pass black students, our adjunct teaching contracts wouldn't be renewed. I told her I had students that missed 38 questions out of 40 on the Final Exam and she said it didn't matter.

There is a huge lack of native-born Americans that have the aptitude or competence to compete for jobs that need intellectual competency. Foreign students that study in USA, from countries like China (including cities like Hong Kong and Macao), South Korea, Japan, and many developed European countries, excel in all fields of academia, arts, and technological innovation. He is correct in saying that the US educational system is creating a generation of dummies and that can be proved by raw, hard statistics. The US ranks 35th on the PISA test and cannot even meet G7, or G20 standards in academic development. And the US keeps climbing down the ladder every year.

He is not a scientist he is a physicist.

This is true. My wife has her PhD and she isn’t from here. I actually dropped out of college because the cost to pursue a PhD in my field(physics, nano tech engineer) was so costly and the amount of pay that you get in research science is so laughable that it didn’t seem like a logical decision. Not only that, nobody, at least at the time, was really funding nano tech. It probably still isn’t because furthering nano tech would make products last longer and people would live longer. That’s two things the US doesn’t seem to want since it will put certain corporations out of business or at least give them a substantial blow to their massive money making potential. A side note, I actually make way more money in a government job that requires no college education. I actually make more money than a lot of the college graduates that I know personally. So he is right that the education system is screwed up.

Patiently waiting for when voters on both party lines realize that they're nowhere near top priority in their respective organizations.

My son studied engineering at Liverpool university and I assumed his classmates would be like mine when I went to university. I was surprised to find that 80% were Chinese (and spoke Chinese but did not socialise, 10% were Japanese so they didn’t get on with the Chinese, the rest were uk. Most of those from overseas went back when they graduated. If you have ever dealt with mainland Chinese you will know why they go to the UK for their education. Teaching is not their forte and it takes generations to build an education system to produce the kind of people Dr Kanu is talking about. For a people like the Chinese who on average have IQs about 5 points higher than us in the west, it’s just a matter of time before they eclipse us.

"Learn or perish." I think that this is the real reason why Americans are so behind. American students, particularly K-12 students have this cushion under them. A crapload of money is pumped into public education but the students are told that being mediocre in math/science is "ok." Across the ocean India, students are told that if they dont perform to a certain level, they will be beaten in front of their peers. The good students also bully up on and beat on the bad students. The attitude even persists when the students arrive stateside to pursue their masters degrees. The student on a visa knows that if he does not outperform his/her peers to the point where they can get hired just a few weeks after they graduate, they wont have anyone to sponsor their visa and they will be sent back to china or india. Learn or perish.

shockingly rare view ! a great man ! i wonder if Icould talk to him personally !

I suppose Dr. Kaku's comments reflect the United States of America of the 1980's; prior to globalization and the technological developments of the last 20 years relating to telecommunications, video conferencing, cloud computing and virtual spaces. I can easily hire an engineer in Hyderabad, Manila, Zhong Guan Cun, Sao Paulo, Guadalajara, Santiago de Chile, Prague, Budapest or Palo Alto, without having to move the "brain" around, paying a lower fee and ultimate reducing operational costs. As a matter of fact, the engineering and scientific feats of the US in the last 150 years have come not from H1B holders but legal immigrants who came to the US and stayed in the US, or American citizens educated in the US system (still happening today). Just to name a few of most notorious non-H1B holding Americans we have: Nikola Tesla (the greatest mind in all history of humanity - Croatian/Christian), Dr. Julius Oppenheimer (his parents were German/Jewish), Albert Einstein (German/Jewish), Wernher von Braun (German/Christian), and all the scientists that came to the US as part of Harry Truman's CLIP initiative. On the American side there are countless scientists and engineers, I will only name the founders of Silicon Valley (since Silicon Valley seems to be the aching point here): Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard (both graduated from Stanford University - that's in California USA - in 1935). Do I support a better education system in the US? Well that's relative. Most of the engineers, medics, and scientists that teach in the countries Dr. Kaku mentions in his remarks, obtained their degrees (Ba's, MsSc's, PhD's, MD's and ScD's) in the USA (Princeton, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Cornell, Rice, Brown, Carnegie Mellon, etc etc etc). Moreover, all the countries he mentions are actually 3rd world countries (China IS a 3rd world country). So (using a bit of anti-logic here) if our existing "Grade School" system matches that of these 3rd world countries (the ones supplying the H1B candidates we so desperately need), then the answer is not in the H1B visa, but rather, making Higher Education (colleges and universities) FINANCIALLY accessible to our own American sons and daughters (very difficult for the great majority of Americans to pay for college without "having to sell body parts"). These universities taught the guys that are teaching the H1B candidates we are trying to bring in. My thoughts are that access to out top tier Colleges and Universities should not based on skin color, ethnicity, SAT score, religious belief or poverty level (we're all poor these days), but rather, the focus should be put our High School graduates' merits (science fair, internships, volunteering record) and their plain flat-out interest in the sciences (even if that interest is to merely call out a "Scotty beam me up" command). Hope this gives you a different and unbiased perspective on this aspect of our immigration system and needs, and as Dr. Kaku points out, always support legal immigration.

Kaku nailed it

Mine is grown now but didn't respond well to meds... As soon as he got out of school and off the meds, he became "normal" again, meaning nothing wrong with him.

I am really offended by his opinion about American students vs students of developing countries in doing math. This is insulting to developing countries. American education in stem fields is really bad. As an international student, the math of GRE to get to graduate level is a joke. It is at the same level as high school math. I got 800 out of 800 while my field is in architecture. The education system even in American universities sucks too. It is not free... In my country education is free for student from elementary school to PhD level. In the US they don't classify students based on their talents and hardwork.

You’re dumb as hell for saying that-_- college nowadays isn’t what it used to be in the 20th century. Nowadays it’s all about the connections, it’s all about being social. Hence more and more people have increasing realized that college is a scam and although you can still go to college for stem, accounting, the trades etc... they also have a bunch of dumbass majors that are designed to take as much money as possible from your bank such as gender studies. Especially when you consider the fact that parents are constantly pushing their kids for college without thinking what’s ahead of them and a bunch of 19-20 year olds taking out loans for shit that they don’t need just for the experience only to graduate with a communications degree.

My first years of college for electrical engineering made me quit. 2 years of ludicrously hard math I never even got to sniff ONE Engineering class.

Although I do agree with Dr. Kaku, I believe it's a combination of our public education system not working as well as our American culture not emphasizing education enough. Look at all the inner city kids and ask them what they want to be in the future. You'll RARELY hear any one of them say anything different than a celebrity of some sort - whether it's music, modeling, acting, or sports. Ask kids who live in suburban areas that same question and you'll still find the same answer, but not to a degree in which you find in inner city students. I've attended inner city public schools as well as suburban and have seen the difference in the emphasis of education. However, education is also subpar. Our school system teaches the kids to follow orders; basically they're learning what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. The biggest problem is the education system doesn't teach students why they should do what they do. It's set up to make future generations become workers and employees, not necessarily leaders, innovators, and creators.

interestingly enough, I've seen a lot of foreigners stay in california on these visas and they're working for $12 an hour in LA.

YEAH! Dr. Michio Kaku. You THE MAN!

Love this man.

Brilliant man, speaking with passion and conviction, in a way anyone who wants to can understand.

When is the last time you built a particle collider in your garage?

The state of America's science denial is so bad now, we are already approaching a collapse from all directions.

Dr. Kaku is partially right. Yes, many American companies benefited immensely from smart H1B workers who went on to become american citizens. Without H1B these guys would have returned to their home countries and would have given a tough competition to american companies. But these smart guys and talented PhDs constitute only a small percentage of the H1B workers. Majority of the H1B employees are not smart or highly skilled. They are cheap, obedient Indian IT consultants. They take up most of the H1B visas and many smart guys with PhDs from top schools would have to return to their home countries because of H1B applications reaching its camp within a short period. Under the disguise of smart and highly skilled many cheap IT laborers are taking up the H1B visas and displacing the Americans from their jobs. The systems needs an overhaul where it ranks people based on merit.

+RK The point with cheap,obedient indian IT consultants is not his point at all,you cant say he is partially right,why partially,He talks about the scientific establishment and why h1b visa is important, for it. What you and dr Kaku are trying to point out is totally different,The problem for the point you state out is because of USA employers only,they are not required to show any proof when hiring a foreign worker as a more qualified than an american worker.Also under this visa no american worker is replaceable but it happens,So people should really be criticizing the employers who sort this trick to cheapen their costs because many people now really have wrong idea with h1B,without knowing how important it really is to the country.

Dr. Kaku said H1B visa program is great because many foreign born scientists are using it stay back in the US. My point is the percentage of such scientists is very small, may be like 5%. The rest of the visas are taken by cheap Indian IT consultants. So one can't show the small 5% scientists to justify the 95% abuse of the visa program. The H1B visa program requires an overhaul where it would grant visas only to talented people and not cheap labour.

@ LEE ROL. $ 67 k is cheap when you compare that with an average american worker would expect with a degree in engineering. I would say the cost of an american worker would be about $100 K.

Kyozen.. The True Man Of Zen!!! Haha Oshohoooo!! Yahoo !! The Mystic 🌹 Rose!!

You are exactly what Prof. Kaku is talking about!

Clapping is the conclusion

I wonder why all Of my physicians have an accent

this is a typical situation in every prosperous country. the government brings people and nationalize them because both the immigrant and the nation benefit from each other.

Kaku does specifically refer to Ph. D candidates, although I think your criticism is valid. For what it's worth, Germany also has similar policies; one of the only ways to obtain a perminent visa is to have completed a technical degree in Germany.

The American dude too has a secret weapon... The water bottle.

I agree. A school without books is no school at all. Even more important, is that parents are failing to raise their children properly, morally, and in ensuring that they work hard to learn and do their homework.

A 4 minute clip can't do this subject any justice. Dr Kaku oversimplifies his message to meet media needs. The H1B system is deeply flawed and needs to be replaced (but not simply eliminated). We need a way to make science and engineering graduate students that come to the US schools citizens (not simply Visa holders). I believe I've heard Kaku say "staple a green card to every Masters and PhD" and I agree. Why replace the H1B? The largest users of the H1B system are currently Indian "body shops" (Infosys, Tata, WiPro) that do (provably) displace US workers (www.nytimes.com/2016/01/26/us/lawsuit-claims-disney-colluded-to-replace-us-workers-with-immigrants.html?_r=0), (many) of these workers graduated from universities that would make DeVry look like Stanford (ask.metafilter.com/225511/Does-the-US-government-do-background-checks-on-your-education-when-issuing-work-visas). Dr. Kaku is correct that the US k-12 education *system* is deeply broken. This is also a more complex issue. Many of the "3rd world" countries with "better" education are teaching via rote memorization, that system of learning is useless in our modern age. We need "deep" learning. How do we fix this? 1) create a green card fast track program for foreign born STEM graduates in the US 2)move from a lottery system to a bidding system for H1B visas (removing the incentive for US companies to hire foreign workers simply to reduce perceived costs, but enable them to hire the best workers if they're willing to pay...why isn't the market system good for these companies?). 3)Fix our education system, we have to tools (Khan Academy, School in the Cloud) we're not using them.

Wow, this is amazing, I had no idea!!! Makes so much sense too! From Michigan, and the education SUCKED, knew i was a scam from the get ...

I could feel the punches, and I'm not even American. I flinched.

Well explained and said.

that guy just got schooled... lol

this is the realest shit i have ever heard we need more engineers not less

In today's society, where bullshit is RAMPANT, speaking the truth itself can be considered an alternative type of education. Mr. Kaku did just that on this clip, simply awesome!!!

Both of these men are absolutely right.

We need to copy Finland and remove subjects from schools!!

I factually know someone who recruits engineers for hi level work in the United States and they CAN NOT find the talent here and must get them abroad. Look at the engineers coming out of Germany and look at their educational system and how they accomplish such hi levels of success. It's ok to adopt models that work and we should.

I don't think you understand the problem. There is a difference when you go to China and pay for manufacturing - yes that manufacturing could be done here at a higher cost; but when it comes to hiring people for intelligence and skill then they are not taking your jobs when you have no one who can fil the position.

Why aren't we promoting STEM education to Americans instead of relying on visas??
