I have yet to hear of any mainstream science popularizer who pushes to inform the masses about breakthroughs in nonlinear optics, ultracold atoms, topological condensed matter systems, or quantum control. These are real experiments that are being done, with solid theoretical framework, exhibiting very interesting and nontrivial effects, and to an insane degree of precision.
Instead, Michio Kaku keeps talking about M theory and wormholes to other universes.
