1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
He is considered the most brilliant mind of the 20th century.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:13,000
His brain was wired in a different way than normal human beings.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,000
With radical theories that redefine the forces of nature.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,000
We thought we had a pretty good understanding of how the universe worked.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Einstein showed that we were just wrong.

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,000
But was Albert Einstein's genius somehow otherworldly?

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Any time that there is an individual with extraordinary gifts,

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000
is it possible that they're a little bit more than human?

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000
And could that genius unlock the secrets of the universe?

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,000
It's Einstein's theories, which allows for the real possibility of time travel.

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Millions of people around the world believe

12
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings.

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
What if it were true?

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
And if so, might evidence of alien contact

16
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,000
help to unlock the mystery behind the genius of Albert Einstein?

17
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:50,700
Episode

18
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
May 29, 1919.

19
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
During a rare total solar eclipse,

20
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:06,000
astrophysicist Arthur Eddington photographs the deflection of starlight around the darkened sun

21
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,000
to try and prove Albert Einstein's much-disputed theory of general relativity.

22
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:19,000
The theory of general relativity says light will bend in a gravitational field.

23
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:26,000
So when the eclipse blocks out the sun, the stars close to the sun can now be seen,

24
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:34,000
and if the light bends, they'll be in a slightly different position.

25
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Einstein was exactly right to light-bend just as much as he predicted it would bend.

26
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Newspapers around the world had headlines saying Einstein's theory was vindicated,

27
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,000
and in fact space and time were a lot stranger than we had imagined.

28
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,000
In his lifetime, Albert Einstein was a worldwide celebrity,

29
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,000
whose name personified the word genius.

30
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:12,000
His groundbreaking discoveries redefined Isaac Newton's laws of physics

31
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,000
and created a completely new understanding of how the universe works.

32
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Before Einstein, physicists viewed space and time as simple, unchanging, static ideas

33
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,000
that objects existed in and that events took place in.

34
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,000
According to Einstein, the existence of matter and energy in space can change its shape,

35
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000
it can warp time, it can distort it.

36
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:46,000
And his theory of relativity totally upended everything we thought about these most fundamental of physical concepts.

37
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Before his theory of relativity, our understanding of space was equivalent to a time

38
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000
when we believed the Earth was flat essentially.

39
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Einstein's theory of relativity expanded our understanding of the universe on that level.

40
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Albert Einstein was a genius, and his genius was looking at this stuff

41
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
and just thinking about it from a completely different angle.

42
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000
And that's what really allowed him to make huge progress in areas that other people

43
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
had been able to make up to that point.

44
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,000
But what was the origin of Einstein's revolutionary scientific breakthroughs?

45
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Was it a product of his innate gifts, or might it have come from somewhere else?

46
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Albert Einstein was born on March 14th, 1879 in Ohm, Germany.

47
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:46,000
As a child, he displayed an unusual interest in the less tangible forces of the world.

48
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,000
His father, when he was ill one time, showed him a compass.

49
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000
And Einstein, as a child, was so amazed.

50
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,000
Here there was this invisible force that caused the compass needle to point in,

51
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,000
and that sparked his imagination.

52
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
What is that? How does that happen?

53
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,000
So this is sort of the beginning of things that made him realize

54
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,000
that what we saw in the world had sort of a mysterious connection.

55
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:22,000
This curiosity led young Einstein to a physics degree from the Swiss National Polytechnic in Zurich.

56
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:29,000
But following his graduation, the aspiring physicist struggled to find work.

57
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:35,000
He wasn't able to get immediately a job that he wanted, which is teaching physics.

58
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,000
So he took the job that was through a friend of his at a patent office.

59
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,000
The patent office helped him sharpen his mind by examining these patents.

60
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:51,000
And eventually it also gave him the time that he needed to think about these things that puzzled him.

61
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,000
It was during this time that something remarkable happened to Albert Einstein.

62
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Something which suggests that Einstein was communicating with a realm outside our galaxy.

63
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,000
A realm that some ancient astronaut theorists believe may be designed by extraterrestrials.

64
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Albert Einstein was very adept at putting himself into altered states of consciousness

65
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:26,000
through what he called his thought experiments, which were a kind of three-dimensional metaphorical reverie.

66
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:33,000
This was the kind of thing of putting himself into a place that most of us won't go

67
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:44,000
and exploring that space so that he could receive very, very novel and new ideas.

68
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Thought experiments enable you to visually or geometrically approach a problem

69
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000
that maybe mathematically might be difficult.

70
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,000
For example, Einstein liked to think about what it would be like from a first-person perspective

71
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,000
sitting on a beam of light moving through space.

72
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000
What would you see from that perspective?

73
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,000
He had all sorts of different visual ways of thinking about physics.

74
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,000
In 1905, after immersing himself in these thought experiments,

75
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Einstein authored four papers that would redefine mankind's perception of the universe in multiple ways.

76
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Included in that year was a paper which essentially proved that atoms were real entities that really existed.

77
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
That was a very controversial idea at the time.

78
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,000
In that year, he published a paper on what's called the photoelectric effect.

79
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Everybody believed that light was a wave.

80
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Einstein said, no, light really acts like a particle, and it comes in little discrete packets.

81
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:02,000
These particles of light eventually led Einstein to the notion of the stimulated emission, so we have lasers.

82
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,000
We use lasers for everything from eye surgery to cutting metals.

83
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,000
One of his papers included the equation equals mc squared.

84
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
It said you could create mass, you could destroy mass,

85
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,000
and it gave us an idea of how mass might come into existence in the first place.

86
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Einstein showed that mass can be converted into useful kinetic energy,

87
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,000
and so this is the basis of the energy we get out of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

88
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,000
And another paper he published that year became the beginning of his theory of relativity.

89
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,000
This was an amazing array of things to do for a scientist.

90
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:51,000
In an entire career, the fact that Einstein did it all in one year is virtually miraculous.

91
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,000
To get a sense of how dramatic those papers were,

92
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,000
imagine if someone came up to you and said,

93
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:07,000
everything that you know about space and time and matter and energy is wrong.

94
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:15,000
And then they would give you all the math and all the explanation of why everything that you know is totally wrong.

95
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,000
It's often referred to as the Anis Morabulus papers,

96
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,000
which basically means the miracle year or wonderful year.

97
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,000
What was the source behind Einstein's incredible insight about the laws of physics?

98
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists contend,

99
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,000
that Einstein's ability to enter altered states of consciousness

100
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,000
connected him to an extraterrestrial world,

101
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:53,000
one that allowed him to access information about the inner workings of the universe.

102
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Einstein said that when he first developed the concept of relativity,

103
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,000
it was like a storm going off in his head.

104
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,000
And this would show that he had a different kind of a brain,

105
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:15,000
and his brain was wired in a different way than normal human beings.

106
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,000
Albert Einstein was known to spend hours on him sitting in a chair,

107
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,000
formulating an idea or a thought to its inception.

108
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Now, was he tapping into some type of advanced field of knowledge?

109
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,000
It's very possible Einstein used this type of technology to a certain level.

110
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000
When we look at history and when we look at the people themselves,

111
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000
who are the giants on whose shoulders we stand,

112
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,000
what they are saying is that this information wasn't theirs,

113
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000
but that something beyond them, something which was larger,

114
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
something which was divine,

115
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,000
allowed them to receive this information and give it to the world.

116
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,000
All the knowledge of the universe exists in the cosmos,

117
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:09,000
and maybe Einstein was able to access that knowledge

118
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,000
that he was more in tune with this,

119
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,000
what I would even refer to as a metaphysical world,

120
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000
that he had this direct access.

121
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,000
He didn't know how he did this,

122
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,000
but his being knew it, his essence,

123
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:36,000
that through his being, he was able to unlock the secret of the universe.

124
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Did Albert Einstein's use of God experiments grant him access to an extraterrestrial realm,

125
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000
as some ancient astronaut theorists believe?

126
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Perhaps the answer lies not in other worlds,

127
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:59,000
but locked away within the pieces of Albert Einstein's brain.

128
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Princeton, New Jersey, April 18, 1955.

129
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:17,000
World-renowned physicist Albert Einstein dies from a ruptured aneurysm in his heart.

130
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Hours later, Princeton hospital pathologist Thomas Harvey

131
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,000
carefully removes the famed scientist's brain.

132
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:33,000
When Albert Einstein died, there was an autopsy performed on him in 1955,

133
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,000
at Princeton University,

134
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,000
and the man who performed the autopsy removed Einstein's brain,

135
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000
and he actually took Einstein's brain out of his head,

136
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,000
and he put it in a cookie jar filled with formaldehyde, and he held on to it.

137
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:54,000
So there was an urban legend that went around that said that somebody had Einstein's brain,

138
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
which was actually true.

139
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:03,000
What everyone didn't realize is that the key thing that defined Einstein, which was his brain,

140
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,000
was being driven around in the backseat of a car of this physician.

141
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000
It was a very weird story.

142
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:14,000
His motivation was not just simply the ghoulish thing of having this great trophy,

143
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
but it was to try to see if he could understand,

144
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,000
and he began to give slices of it to neurobiologists and neurophysiologists

145
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,000
to see if they could understand what it was about Einstein that was different.

146
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, present day.

147
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,000
45 miles south from the hospital where Albert Einstein's brain was removed.

148
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,000
And hidden away behind the walls of this museum,

149
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,000
resides what's left of arguably the greatest mind in human history.

150
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Here at the Mutter Museum, we have mummified human remains,

151
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:02,000
skeletons of mutated bodies,

152
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:08,000
but our most important artifact is right here, Einstein's brain.

153
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,000
We have a wide range of artifacts, but they are all in the medical spectrum.

154
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Einstein's brain, it's an amazing representation of not only a medical specimen,

155
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,000
but one that represents one of the greatest minds in the world.

156
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:31,000
In 2011, the Mutter Museum received 46 slides of Einstein's brain

157
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:37,000
from Dr. Lucy Rourke Adams, who acquired them from an employee of Thomas Harvey.

158
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:44,000
I've been extraordinarily fortunate to have been the caretaker of these slides for over 40 years.

159
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,000
And I regard them as a scientific treasure,

160
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:53,000
the best way to describe his brain was that it looked like the brain of a young person.

161
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:02,000
At age 76, he has beautiful preservation of the neurons and no degenerative disease of any kind.

162
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:11,000
How is it possible that at the advanced age of 76, Albert Einstein's brain,

163
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:16,000
possessed the neurons of a healthy young man?

164
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Why was his brain unique to that of other humans?

165
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Even more curious is the fact that Einstein's perietal lobe,

166
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,000
the part of the brain believed to be involved in the manipulation of objects

167
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:36,000
and the processing of numbers, was 15% worse than the brain.

168
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,000
These are actual images taken in 1955 of Albert Einstein's brain.

169
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:46,000
One thing to point out here is you can see the red line is relatively expanded

170
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,000
compared to normal brains, marking the expansion of the perietal lobe.

171
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:56,000
The perietal lobe of Albert Einstein is truly anomalous.

172
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,000
It's a very large number of human brains,

173
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:05,000
but the perietal lobe of Albert Einstein is truly anomalous.

174
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:10,000
It's unique. It's intriguing to think that this might have something to do

175
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:15,000
with his unique ability to put himself into these very abstract scenarios.

176
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,000
There is no one for thinking, what would it be like if I was traveling at the speed of light?

177
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
That's a hard place to put your mind in.

178
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,000
The perietal lobe might be involved in these types of abstract thoughts.

179
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:34,000
So the fact that we see kind of an anomalous anatomy in the perietal lobe of Einstein,

180
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000
it's intriguing.

181
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:45,000
In the 1980s at UC Berkeley, Dr. Marion Diamond discovered another amazing feature

182
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
about Einstein's brain structure.

183
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Diamond found that it contained over 70% more glial cells than the average human brain.

184
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,000
The brain is not just the communication between neurons,

185
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,000
but the communication between neurons and glia.

186
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:10,000
Glia are crucial for the very basic carrying of information.

187
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:16,000
We could hypothesize that a brain with a larger number of glia per neuron

188
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:21,000
could have advantageous effects on brain performance and has cognitive abilities.

189
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Probably 99.9% of the brains across mankind are identical.

190
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,000
But certain brains stand out.

191
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:37,000
And in the case of Einstein, this was a genius who seems to have had some kind of hardware that was different.

192
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:45,000
What could be the reason for the extraordinary genetic makeup of Albert Einstein's gray matter?

193
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists believe,

194
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:59,000
that his advanced brain allowed him to receive and decipher messages from another worldly realm upon entering a trance-like state?

195
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Could this explain how he was able to envision his foreground breaking papers

196
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:11,000
that transformed man's understanding of the universe in under a year's time?

197
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:19,000
How could one person in one year create and write such important papers?

198
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,000
And his own colleagues had no idea what he was talking about.

199
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:31,000
The way Einstein thought was completely different than people before him.

200
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,000
How do we account for Einstein's large brain capabilities?

201
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Is it something in human evolution that's just causing him to evolve faster?

202
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Or was he potentially given some type of leg-up genetically?

203
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Maybe some type of extraterrestrial gene that we still haven't yet identified.

204
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Are there individuals out there that may have DNA sequences that we're not familiar with,

205
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:03,000
that are unknown, that are non-terrestrial, that have never been discovered before?

206
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Any time that there is an individual with extraordinary gifts,

207
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,000
is it possible that they're a little bit more than human?

208
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Could Einstein's extraordinary brain anatomy explain his remarkable genius?

209
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Or could it be that his use of thought experiments and his unique brain structure

210
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,000
allowed him to receive and decipher information from another worldly source?

211
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Perhaps answers can be found by examining the incredible minds behind other geniuses throughout human history.

212
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Stockholm, Sweden, 1921

213
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:56,000
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards Albert Einstein with the Nobel Prize in Science

214
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:01,000
for his groundbreaking contributions to theoretical physics.

215
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,000
But what separated Einstein from his contemporaries?

216
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:12,000
How did the 42-year-old physicist achieve such a seemingly perfect blueprint of the universe?

217
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:19,000
We see that across time and space we have pockets of people who have received tremendous amounts of information,

218
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,000
which really have propelled civilization along.

219
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,000
Obviously the question then is, do they have special brains,

220
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,000
or is this just something which happens by concentrating on the right thing to access this information?

221
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Is it possible that Albert Einstein's practice of thought experiments

222
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:42,000
allowed his genetically advanced brain to receive messages from a metaphysical realm,

223
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000
as ancient astronaut theorists believe?

224
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,000
If so, could there be evidence of other geniuses across human history,

225
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:57,000
whose greatest breakthroughs materialized through altered states of consciousness?

226
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Athens, Greece

227
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Outside the Hellenic Military Academy sits a statue of a war hero

228
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:16,000
and the founding father of Western philosophy, Socrates.

229
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Socrates' contemporaries describe the philosopher as being strange in many ways,

230
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:31,000
including spending hours each day consumed by his own thoughts.

231
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:42,000
One of the most stunning examples of Socrates' daydreaming actually happens while on campaign as a soldier at the Siege of Potidaea.

232
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:50,000
Socrates was caught in the grip of a thought or an idea,

233
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:59,000
and he remained fixed and thinking silently for an hour, for another hour, for another hour.

234
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:12,000
He displayed an extraordinary endurance that his peers may have found odd and suspicious and puzzling.

235
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:21,000
We often think that a genius is eccentric, but I think some of their eccentricity comes from the fact that they really are in touch with other realities.

236
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:27,000
In the case of Socrates, he said that he was able to access a demon.

237
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Now a demon for Socrates is not some evil creature,

238
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:42,000
but the ancient Greeks had this subcategory of gods who really were talking to human beings,

239
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,000
explaining the mysteries of life to us, explaining why we were here.

240
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:55,000
Is Socrates' so-called demon evidence that the founder of Western philosophy was mentally unstable?

241
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Or could Socrates' demon be proof that he was in contact with an extraterrestrial intelligence that was sending him messages from a distant realm in the cosmos?

242
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:16,000
I think it's too easy just to say that, yeah, Socrates was nuts, or that he was schizophrenic, or that he was hearing voices.

243
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:26,000
The demon is some kind of messenger, some kind of bridge between him and the realm of the metaphysical that he is trying to attain.

244
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Did Socrates' practice of deep meditation connect him to an extraterrestrial intelligence, as some ancient astronaut theorists contend?

245
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:49,000
If so, could there be other geniuses with similar claims that they received information from a higher realm while in a trance-like state?

246
00:23:51,000 --> 00:24:03,000
In the case of Leonardo da Vinci, in his writings, he describes laying down on a bed in his room and taking a candle and placing the candle at the foot of the bed.

247
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:13,000
And he would lie down in the bed and look at the flickering of the flame on the ceiling, and it would put him into a very, very deep state in which he would be able to imagine and come up with new ideas.

248
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Puccini said that his great opera, Madonna Butterfly, was from God, that he wrote it down, but it came directly from a divine source.

249
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:31,000
William Blake, whose entire opus, his writing and painting was based on repeated angelic visitations.

250
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Brahms said that his music came from something beyond himself.

251
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:50,000
We don't know if they're in fact receiving communication from some divine or powerful source beyond their own skin, or if they may be in touch with their own unconscious or deeper wisdom that they're not customarily hearing from.

252
00:24:51,000 --> 00:25:04,000
In the 1900s, Serbian-born inventor Nikola Tesla pioneered modern electrical engineering and was the driving force behind today's wireless technology.

253
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:12,000
In his writings, Tesla describes his method of approaching a complex engineering problem.

254
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Nikola Tesla was someone who wrote extensively about using very, very powerful visualizations. In fact, he said that he was able to visualize a motor and then actually run research and development, R&D, on the motor in his mind so that he could tell where there might be, for example, mistakes or flaws.

255
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:44,000
And he would be able to do almost all of that in his mind in these altered states of consciousness.

256
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Nikola Tesla is a person who believed in the existence of extraterrestrial beings.

257
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:59,000
He is a person who really believes that he can communicate with other galaxies.

258
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Perhaps the greatest piece of evidence, that Tesla believed he was in communication with other worldly beings.

259
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Can be found in a letter he sent to the American Red Cross in December of 1900.

260
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:25,000
In the letter he writes, we have a message from another world, unknown and remote. It reads 1, 2, 3.

261
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:33,000
Tesla was a genius with certain eccentricities. Everything he did was in threes.

262
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:48,000
And it is interesting, I think, because this is a level of symbolism, when we realize that so many of our ancestors, whenever they are talking about communication with the divine and how the divine downloaded this information to them, we'll see this rich layer of symbolism there as well.

263
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Why was Tesla so obsessed with the number three?

264
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Could this be a clue that Tesla was using his own internal form of wireless communication to connect with cosmic advisors, as ancient astronaut theorists believe?

265
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:13,000
And could this also explain the remarkable genius of India's Srinivasa Ramanujan?

266
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Although Ramanujan was an unexceptional student, he is widely considered the greatest mathematician in history.

267
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:35,000
And according to his journals, Ramanujan believed he was being guided subconsciously by another worldly being, the Hindu god, Namagiri.

268
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:45,000
Namagiri was the family deity of Ramanujan. And basically, everything the family did was linked with this deity.

269
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Much of his creative work was actually done by going to bed with an intention to be visited by a Hindu deity that he worshipped.

270
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,000
And when he would fall asleep, he would become lucid in the dream time.

271
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:08,000
And he would receive enormous amounts of information.

272
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:21,000
In one particular dream, he talks about seeing a very large red wall and a hand that came out and wrote equation after equation after equation after equation.

273
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:28,000
He memorized the equations and when he woke up, he actually then went to work verifying the proofs.

274
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:35,000
The vast majority of all of his equations were new and important and utterly groundbreaking.

275
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:47,000
All of the science that we need to eventually be able to create portals, stargate travel, teleportation, it all needs a mathematical foundation.

276
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:55,000
And the closest that we have right now is the Ramanujan equations that we've been able to decipher so far.

277
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:03,000
It is an irrefutable fact that mathematics is the language of the universe.

278
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:13,000
So if Ramanujan's formulate do in fact check out who knows what the potential is of those conclusions.

279
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,000
It could be life altering. It could be revolutionary.

280
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Can it only be a coincidence that many of the greatest minds in human history claim to have received information from an other worldly source?

281
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Or could it be possible that Socrates, Nikola Tesla, Srinivasa Ramanujan, as well as other geniuses in human history were using altered states of consciousness to access an alien realm?

282
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:54,000
A realm that some ancient astronaut theorists believe contains the entire knowledge of the universe.

283
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,000
If so, where might this field of knowledge exist?

284
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Perhaps answers can be found in Asia within the pages of an ancient Hindu text.

285
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Angkor, Cambodia. Here in the northwestern jungle stands the largest Hindu temple in the world, Angkor Wat.

286
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Built in the 12th century, the temple's design is meant to represent Mount Meru, a mythical mountain that exists in the cosmos that the Hindu believed was the center of the metaphysical universe.

287
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:49,000
Numerous stone carvings adorn the walls of the temple, depicting scenes from the Hindu epic the Mahabharata.

288
00:30:50,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Within the pages of this ancient text of Hindu mythology, there is a description of a non-physical plane of existence in the universe called the Akashic record.

289
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Akasha is actually a Sanskrit word and the Akashic record is a term that basically the idea behind it is that all of the information in the universe is pre-existing and an individual can actually tap into that information.

290
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:22,000
Our ancestors began to look more into this and the Akashic records came about.

291
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:31,000
Basically, the notion is this, that somehow all the information not just from mankind but everywhere in the universe is somehow accessible.

292
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Some cultures actually say that this information really is a gift of the gods, that they left this somehow behind for us to use at our own will.

293
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:48,000
And we are able to download this information from this other realm, this whole of records, whatever you want to call it.

294
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:54,000
An interesting thing to correlate with the Akashic record might be from Star Wars, the Force.

295
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:00,000
Some type of cosmic energy that's omnipresent and we have the ability to tap into this.

296
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:07,000
This is something very new in our own sciences, trying to discover and understand this field of knowledge.

297
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:21,000
Is it possible that Albert Einstein's method of meditation, which he called his thought experiments, was actually connecting him to the Akashic record?

298
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Could the Akashic record be the source of inspiration behind the world's geniuses?

299
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,000
If so, how could such a metaphysical plane of knowledge exist?

300
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Perhaps the answer can be found in one of Albert Einstein's many theories.

301
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:46,000
In 1935, Albert Einstein published a paper describing quantum entanglement.

302
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:57,000
It theorized that if a particle is split into two parts, both remain linked to one another, even when separated over vast distances.

303
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:05,000
The experiments showed that two particles separated in space and time demonstrated a connectivity.

304
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:11,000
If you change the spin of one particle, the other particle would actually change its spin as well.

305
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:21,000
In other words, if something happens to one, the other responds in the same or equal and opposite manner.

306
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,000
And that this occurs instantaneously.

307
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
So it's a form of instantaneous communication.

308
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:34,000
It's what Einstein referred to as spooky communication at a distance.

309
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:44,000
What we have to remind ourselves is that we are made of stardust.

310
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:55,000
Our whole body consists of material that has been here since before the beginning of time.

311
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:04,000
And these particles that we consist of, each and every particle contain the knowledge of the universe.

312
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:15,000
It's not only real, but it can explain to us so much weirdness in this world which we still don't understand and call paranormal.

313
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:21,000
And this would include the idea of telepathy and remote viewing.

314
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:30,000
Remote viewing is the practice of using deep concentration to visualize locations or objects beyond sight and sound.

315
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Starting in the 1970s, the United States initiated a program called Project Stargate to train individuals to access a higher realm of knowledge.

316
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:56,000
Using controlled scientific settings, remote viewers attempted to sense unknown targets and then record their impressions on paper.

317
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:06,000
The US government have funded remote viewing programs as did the Soviets, as have various other governments around the world.

318
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:22,000
Remote viewing exercises have taken place for people to try and observe that which is on the moon, on Mars, and these are proper scientific programs with accuracy.

319
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:28,000
The US military remote viewing program has scientific protocols for how to do this.

320
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:41,000
There are really specific techniques where an individual can put out a question or a query and if they are in that altered state of consciousness, they will receive information.

321
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:48,000
If you read the biographies of famous geniuses and things like that, each one of them has their own description for how to do this.

322
00:35:49,000 --> 00:36:00,000
Why would the government spend millions of dollars in all these advanced studies in areas like remote viewing unless there is some type of valid need to experiment with these types of technology?

323
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:15,000
If we think about the fact that we're all pretty much made of the same elements in the universe, is there maybe some atomic level of energy that allows us to communicate and tap into knowledge that we're now starting to rediscover?

324
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:27,000
Is it possible that remote viewers were attempting to replicate the meditative techniques behind Albert Einstein's thought experiments?

325
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:35,000
Can this explain how remote viewers might possess the capability to transcend both sight and sound?

326
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Could Einstein's thought experiments be the inspiration behind the incredible breakthroughs of Socrates, Nikola Tesla, and other geniuses throughout history?

327
00:36:48,000 --> 00:37:04,000
All these different geniuses, Ramanujan, Tesla, Socrates, according to their own diaries, always said that they were in communication with some type of otherworldly entities.

328
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:16,000
So were all these people just crazy or is it possible that the universe is far more complex than we think?

329
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:29,000
Is it possible that mankind's greatest minds had the ability to access a realm of knowledge left behind by otherworldly beings?

330
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Could this be evidence that the Akashic record actually exists just as the ancient Hindu believed?

331
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:50,000
And if a select few have the power to tap into this alien realm, does this mean that the extraterrestrials who created it can influence them as well?

332
00:37:53,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Albert Einstein's incredible legacy, which includes over 300 scientific papers, continues to influence the world more than a half century since his death.

333
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:16,000
And while Einstein redefined our understanding of the universe, perhaps his greatest contribution to mankind is still to come.

334
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,000
Time travel.

335
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:27,000
It's Einstein's special theory of relativity, speed of light, and the general theory of relativity, which allows for the real possibility of time travel.

336
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Some scientists today believe that Einstein's theory of relativity creates the possibility to travel through a portal or wormhole called an Einstein-Rosen bridge, a space anomaly that may actually be a gateway to parallel universes.

337
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:55,000
In the theory of general relativity, space actually acts like something that you can bend and warp and make holes in.

338
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,000
So an Einstein-Rosen bridge is a particular example of a wormhole.

339
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:10,000
And a wormhole is a structure in space and time that involves kind of tearing a hole in space, stretching the material if you think of space being a material and reconnecting it somewhere else.

340
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:19,000
An Einstein-Rosen bridge takes two points in space and connects them so that if you travel in one end, you come out the other.

341
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:29,000
Even though those two points appear in different universes, it's essentially a teleporter, something that allows you to get between two distant places instantaneously.

342
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Could Einstein's theoretical wormhole actually serve as a portal to another universe?

343
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:47,000
Perhaps opening a gateway that will one day establish contact between humans and extraterrestrials.

344
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:59,000
When we take a look at the idea that there are wormholes and that these are actually generally accepted by some of the most brilliant individuals on the planet,

345
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:11,000
what you begin to see is that all of these pieces are in place to suggest that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe,

346
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:22,000
and that there is also the likelihood or possibility that we have had contact in the past or have ongoing contact now or may have contact in the future as well.

347
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:33,000
Was Albert Einstein's monumental work actually a lifelong quest to establish contact with extraterrestrials?

348
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:41,000
Did otherworldly beings provide him with information about how to transcend both space and time?

349
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,000
If so, why?

350
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:53,000
We find that the greatest discoveries across time and space don't come to hard work or intensive labor,

351
00:40:53,000 --> 00:41:05,000
but that really did genius somehow is able to access a realm and that that realm is able to pretty much download that information to them and makes them remember forever onwards as geniuses.

352
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:14,000
In history you have certain people whose genius is just so incredible, it's like they're able to see the future,

353
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:20,000
and they're not going to just influence the world then and in the future,

354
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:25,000
but what they're going to do is going to dramatically change the world forever.

355
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:35,000
We tend to think of civilization as this slow ab of information that somehow across the flow of time we have progressed,

356
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:44,000
but really this is not the case. We have made giant strides forwards because at pockets in time there were certain geniuses living.

357
00:41:45,000 --> 00:42:01,000
Are extraterrestrials accelerating the cognitive abilities of a select few to help further the development of human civilization as some ancient astronaut theorists believe?

358
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:06,000
Could this explain Albert Einstein's extraordinary neural anatomy?

359
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:21,000
Is it only a coincidence that arguably the greatest mind in the history of the world had a higher concentration of glial cells and a wider parietal lobe than the average human brain

360
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:28,000
and was as healthy as the brain of a young man when he died? That is extraordinary evidence.

361
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:42,000
If we were able to study the brains of some of these other genius, Isaac Newton of Nikola Tesla and perhaps now of someone like Stephen Hawking,

362
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:50,000
I think we would find that their brains too are significantly different than a normal human's.

363
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:59,000
There seems to be something within our DNA whereby we go in one direction and we seem to have a normal human being,

364
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:06,000
but also certain things within our DNA are able to make us a genius and definitely Einstein was one of them.

365
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:14,000
But what makes this switch work is something which we have been completely incapable of answering.

366
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:22,000
Were the greatest minds in human history receiving information from other worldly beings?

367
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Are geniuses the link between us and them?

368
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:36,000
Could Albert Einstein's thought experiments be the key to unlock the genius that exists in each and every one of us?

369
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:42,000
If so, who will be the next Einstein?

370
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:46,000
Where will he or she come from?

371
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:51,000
And what new dimensions will they reveal to mankind?
