World-renowned theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku spoke to MSNBC late last week regarding the science behind the disappearance of and search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.

He highlights a major flaw in the current system of air transportation, which is that one individual with the right knowledge base can switch off the transmitter devices which are the only form of communication between a commercial flight and air traffic controllers.

Dr. Kaku suggests that in order to prevent future disappearing flights, it is imperative that we majorly upgrade the current technology used for tracking our aircraft. He states that we need better compression technology, and better design of communication technology with both planes and satellites. He states that although we are in the Cyber age, we are still primitive in terms of data transfer, as we have not yet employed technology, which allows data to be transmitted to the ground automatically, and independent of the pilot. He also reminds us that there are no microwave transmitters in the middle of the ocean and no radar towers, therefore it is easy for flights to disappear off our radars.

Think Inc. is bringing Dr Kaku to Australia this June in order to further their objective: to promote rational thought and smart discussions through a platform that is both educational and entertaining. Since 2011, Think Inc. has been celebrating science and challenging traditions.

Dr Michio Kaku will be in Australia on Thursday 5 June at Brisbane’s BCEC, Friday 6 June at Melbourne’s MCEC and Saturday 7 June at Sydney Town Hall. What audiences will come away with is an enlightened, fresh new perspective on the physical world, as we know it, grounded fully in what is currently the leading revolutionary field of science from one of the most brilliant big thinkers of our time. Tickets are available for public purchase through www.thinkinc.org.au/michiokaku.

Date: 7 June, 2013 | Tickets: from $49 | Duration: 90 minutes | Media contact: Suzi Jamil, 0424 805 323, suzi@novacane.com.au or Sherleen Wang, 0430 009 486, sherleen@thinkinc.org.au
