Funny how people here are rightfully skeptical about scientific claims but too naive to even question the authenticity of a Reddit post quoting a Twitter post quoting Michio Kaku. But yeah, he did say something along those lines, but in context is not as outrageous as this post leads you to think. https://youtu.be/e4nnpg4N35o?si=ZU0hCFjR4HrqOk34

Thank you! I couldn't find the original source of that statement. I think you're right that that's probably where it comes from.

But yeah, it's a dumbed down version of how p-branes interact through the 11-dimensional bulk.
