Question about "Condensation of Space"

Uhm hi!

I was listening to Dr. Kaku on Coast to Coast Sunday, and had a question about something he mentioned, namely that he thought that strings were formed from the condensation of space.

I was wondering, and forgive if this is a silly question, but I'm only just delving into this realm, largely thanks to hearing Dr. Kaku speak on TechTV and Coast to Coast, how does space, or a vacuum, condense? And does this mean that a vacuum is a type of chemical reactor?

Again, sorry if this question is simlplistic or silly.

Thanks!

Michio Kaku has a history of saying things that are more fluff than substance. He appears, unfortunately, to be more interested in getting attention than saying things that make sense.

I have no idea what he could have meant by "condensation of space." It doesn't make sense.

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.
