Michio Kaku has made a name for himself as a world-leading theoretical physicist unafraid to speak his mind. Dr. Kaku, the Henry Semat Chair and Professorship in theoretical physics at the City College of New York, has published more than 70 articles in physics journals on topics such as supersymmetry, superstring theory, supergravity, and hadronic physics.
His latest claim is likely to make waves in the world of science.
“I have concluded that we are in a world made by rules created by an intelligence,” Dr. Kaku said, as quoted by the Geophilosophical Association of Anthropological and Cultural Studies.* “To me it is clear that we exist in a plan which is governed by rules that were created, shaped by a universal intelligence and not by chance.”
In a 2013 video produced by Big Think, Dr. Kaku described God as “cosmic music.” You can watch the video below and see for yourself why Dr. Kaku believes science points to an intelligent creator who formed the universe. (I’m certainly not going to try to explain it.)
Dr. Kaku’s conclusion is pretty clear. “The final solution resolution could be that God is a mathematician,” says Dr. Kaku. “The mind of God, we believe, is cosmic music. The music of strings resonating through 11-dimensional hyperspace.”

This resembles the vision of the “Music of the Ainur”, by J.R.R Tolkien in the Ainulindalë in the Silmarillion, in which the world is created as cosmic music. Eru (God) gives the general themes for the Ainur (angelic beings) to sing and play the world into its physical form.
And Tolkien drew on Ancient and Medieval ideas here about music and Creation. See https://theimaginativeconservative.org/2015/09/the-music-of-chaos-and-creation-rebel-elements.html
