I know...I'm late again, but I have to mention Dr. Kaku ;)
Born in San Jose, California in 1947, Michio Kaku is a theoretical physicist and futurist at the City College of New York. In high school he built a particle accelerator in his parents’ garage; that project, which he presented at a national science fair, caught the attention of Manhattan Project physicist Edward Teller.

Kaku received a bachelor’s degree in physics from Harvard and a PhD from the University of California, Berkeley. Kaku codeveloped string field theory, a branch of string theory, and has written textbooks on superstrings and quantum field theory. Many of Kaku’s books are geared toward the general public. In one of his most recent books, Physics of the Future, he applies the laws of physics to the current state of technology and predicts the advances that will take place by the year 2100.

By 2100, our destiny is to become like the gods we once worshiped and feared. But our tools will not be magic wands and potions but the science of computers, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and most of all, the quantum theory.
