KDude was sort of saying that Tyson and Kaku are on different 'levels', and I was saying don't think that's necessarily true...... not at all that because he's another popular scientist that he has to be ENTP (or maybe ENFP); indeed, Carl Sagan is not (his focus was really quite more grounded)
Carl Sagan was a pot addict who did prosey stuff with science. I'm seeing some of the same tendency in Neil (not with drugs, however), although it's more of the "Whoa!" variety. Sagan was more into the grandeur of the universe, and feeling small. He wanted his fans to feel small in comparison to the cosmos. Neil (otoh) wants us to impress on us his feeling connected to the universe. I'm seeing with him a philosophy of empathic union with the cosmos. (So in a sense he did indeed imply a connection with the photons he captures, although he didn't state as much.)
Although these are two different philosophies, they aren't all that different in that they both formulate a sublime, awe-inspiring relationship between man and the cosmos. In that sense, I don't see how they both can't be Ni in their approaches to science.
I'm afraid I don't know enough about Kaku to make any observations.
