1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:23,970 [Music] 2 00:00:31,530 --> 00:00:27,400 you're in the para cast the gold 3 00:00:37,509 --> 00:00:31,540 standard of paranormal radio and now 4 00:00:40,390 --> 00:00:37,519 here's gene Steinberg so last week we 5 00:00:44,130 --> 00:00:40,400 had rapper casings he's author of UFOs 6 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:44,140 and nukes concentrating primarily on 7 00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:47,570 UFOs seen in and around nuclear 8 00:00:53,020 --> 00:00:50,510 installations primarily in the USA but 9 00:00:55,090 --> 00:00:53,030 also some cases around the world and he 10 00:00:57,399 --> 00:00:55,100 has an incredible knowledge of 11 00:00:59,229 --> 00:00:57,409 everything about pepper so when you talk 12 00:01:02,140 --> 00:00:59,239 to him specifically if anything that 13 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:02,150 relates to that he has it all he's been 14 00:01:06,580 --> 00:01:04,250 studying this stuff for more than 30 15 00:01:08,980 --> 00:01:06,590 years the only concern I have about 16 00:01:12,730 --> 00:01:08,990 investigations of that nature Chris is 17 00:01:15,039 --> 00:01:12,740 whether or not it leads to tunnel vision 18 00:01:16,990 --> 00:01:15,049 if you focus so much on your specialty 19 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:17,000 then suddenly maybe you're missing 20 00:01:22,570 --> 00:01:20,210 things around the periphery yeah that's 21 00:01:25,060 --> 00:01:22,580 you know always a you know a possible 22 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:25,070 kind of stumbling block but I think in 23 00:01:29,050 --> 00:01:26,810 Roberts case he's he's really grounded 24 00:01:31,179 --> 00:01:29,060 he seems to have a very good objective 25 00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:31,189 sense about his work he does keep up to 26 00:01:35,289 --> 00:01:32,560 speed I think in the field in general 27 00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:35,299 unlike some people who tend to really 28 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:37,520 like you say specialize and focus in on 29 00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:40,130 on a single aspect but I really enjoyed 30 00:01:44,620 --> 00:01:42,369 the show and I really you know admire 31 00:01:46,929 --> 00:01:44,630 four decades worth of work that he's put 32 00:01:50,020 --> 00:01:46,939 into it and it's unfortunate that he has 33 00:01:51,730 --> 00:01:50,030 his Emma Woods OCD character out there 34 00:01:53,679 --> 00:01:51,740 that's been dogging him maybe there's 35 00:01:56,349 --> 00:01:53,689 something to it I think an article came 36 00:02:00,429 --> 00:01:56,359 out last week pertaining to that 37 00:02:02,260 --> 00:02:00,439 particular controversy of this Carlson 38 00:02:05,410 --> 00:02:02,270 character I'm gonna start calling him 39 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:05,420 Emma Carlson what we're talking about 40 00:02:10,110 --> 00:02:07,490 here there's a character who calls 41 00:02:13,210 --> 00:02:10,120 herself Emma Woods who has been stalking 42 00:02:15,580 --> 00:02:13,220 UFO abduction researcher David Jacobs 43 00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:15,590 for several years that doesn't mean she 44 00:02:19,990 --> 00:02:17,360 doesn't have a case or anything but 45 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:20,000 she's gotten so obsessive about this 46 00:02:24,580 --> 00:02:22,490 stalking that it destroys whatever case 47 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:24,590 she might have it really does the whole 48 00:02:29,140 --> 00:02:26,690 and anonymity thing really bothers me 49 00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:29,150 she's put up a website she posts and 50 00:02:33,630 --> 00:02:31,760 tons of boards all under a pseudonym all 51 00:02:35,460 --> 00:02:33,640 for the sole purpose 52 00:02:37,650 --> 00:02:35,470 bringing down David Jacobson I don't 53 00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:37,660 agree like like you mentioned about 54 00:02:43,290 --> 00:02:39,910 yourself I I don't agree with a lot of 55 00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:43,300 Jacobs conclusions I I do have a sense 56 00:02:46,620 --> 00:02:44,800 that they're rather fear-based 57 00:02:48,420 --> 00:02:46,630 but I don't think anybody should have to 58 00:02:50,430 --> 00:02:48,430 go through what he's been going through 59 00:02:52,530 --> 00:02:50,440 with this woman I mean sure he set 60 00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:52,540 himself up doing hypnotic regressions 61 00:02:55,770 --> 00:02:54,160 over the phone long distance that sort 62 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:55,780 of thing but it's getting to the point 63 00:03:00,510 --> 00:02:57,850 of beyond ridiculousness when when 64 00:03:02,970 --> 00:03:00,520 somebody is just on a vendetta to just 65 00:03:06,390 --> 00:03:02,980 slag you in every which way possible so 66 00:03:08,729 --> 00:03:06,400 oh well just much luck to Hastings and 67 00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:08,739 his his Emma Carlson and David Jacobs 68 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:09,910 and his Emma woods 69 00:03:15,060 --> 00:03:12,370 well Jacobs told me last I heard from 70 00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:15,070 him via email that he was working on a 71 00:03:20,250 --> 00:03:18,640 more extensive rebuttal to her claims so 72 00:03:22,830 --> 00:03:20,260 maybe that will put the matter to rest 73 00:03:24,420 --> 00:03:22,840 but I kind of doubt it although things 74 00:03:25,590 --> 00:03:24,430 have been pretty quiet I think part of 75 00:03:28,620 --> 00:03:25,600 the reason the things are pretty quiet 76 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:28,630 is more and more forums will not allow 77 00:03:34,199 --> 00:03:31,690 Emma woods to post until she presents 78 00:03:36,660 --> 00:03:34,209 some authentication as to who she really 79 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:36,670 is yeah I mean you can attack anybody 80 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:39,970 from the position of anonymity but 81 00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:41,530 you're attacking them by name it's not 82 00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:43,299 two anonymous people attacking each 83 00:03:47,759 --> 00:03:45,910 other and you have to think - what can 84 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:47,769 she fear in terms of repercussions 85 00:03:53,220 --> 00:03:50,890 because Jacobs knows who she is she has 86 00:03:55,050 --> 00:03:53,230 certainly identified herself to a few of 87 00:03:58,890 --> 00:03:55,060 the people who support her I don't know 88 00:04:01,949 --> 00:03:58,900 maybe we shouldn't raise that hornet's 89 00:04:04,259 --> 00:04:01,959 nest let's let sleeping dogs lie but you 90 00:04:06,630 --> 00:04:04,269 know here at the power cast we have our 91 00:04:08,819 --> 00:04:06,640 own group of house critics in large part 92 00:04:11,009 --> 00:04:08,829 we ignore them I seldom respond to them 93 00:04:13,890 --> 00:04:11,019 I don't think you have more than once or 94 00:04:16,979 --> 00:04:13,900 twice in your fabulous faded career here 95 00:04:20,460 --> 00:04:16,989 I do try to stay above the fray I try to 96 00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:20,470 chip in my two cents wherever I think it 97 00:04:24,779 --> 00:04:22,870 might be appropriate and maybe give 98 00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:24,789 people a little little extra you know 99 00:04:30,540 --> 00:04:27,910 angle to look at a particular topic or 100 00:04:33,390 --> 00:04:30,550 issue but this whole idea of hiding 101 00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:33,400 behind avatars and anonymous names I've 102 00:04:36,630 --> 00:04:34,960 always had a problem with it of course 103 00:04:38,340 --> 00:04:36,640 you and I when we post everybody knows 104 00:04:40,159 --> 00:04:38,350 who we are but you know you get some of 105 00:04:43,230 --> 00:04:40,169 these people with these with these 106 00:04:45,050 --> 00:04:43,240 anonymous tags and and I think it 107 00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:45,060 emboldened them to 108 00:04:49,910 --> 00:04:47,280 get out of out of them outside of 109 00:04:51,650 --> 00:04:49,920 themselves and and be I think a little 110 00:04:53,930 --> 00:04:51,660 bit more strident than maybe they 111 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:53,940 normally would I can't recall who told 112 00:04:57,860 --> 00:04:55,650 me this story but they were able to find 113 00:05:00,020 --> 00:04:57,870 out who a person was it was dogging them 114 00:05:02,420 --> 00:05:00,030 anonymously online and they showed up at 115 00:05:05,420 --> 00:05:02,430 their house it freaked them out 116 00:05:07,610 --> 00:05:05,430 I'd never go to that to those links but 117 00:05:11,780 --> 00:05:07,620 it is you know I'm willing to to put my 118 00:05:14,150 --> 00:05:11,790 reputation you know in my anonymity to 119 00:05:15,740 --> 00:05:14,160 rest and and just be Who I am and I 120 00:05:18,140 --> 00:05:15,750 think more people out there should do 121 00:05:20,450 --> 00:05:18,150 that and this whole excuse of well if my 122 00:05:22,850 --> 00:05:20,460 job found out I was posted on a UFO 123 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:22,860 board I get fired I mean that's just a 124 00:05:27,770 --> 00:05:25,050 convenient excuse I think we're farther 125 00:05:29,390 --> 00:05:27,780 down the road than having to be too 126 00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:29,400 concerned about that unless you're some 127 00:05:33,170 --> 00:05:31,680 you know lead scientist at a National 128 00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:33,180 Lab maybe then you'd have something to 129 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:34,800 worry about but for the most part I 130 00:05:39,890 --> 00:05:37,170 don't think people really have have that 131 00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:39,900 excuse to hang their anonymity on 132 00:05:45,890 --> 00:05:43,110 anymore I think it's this whole subject 133 00:05:47,540 --> 00:05:45,900 is is pretty much mainstream now and we 134 00:05:49,900 --> 00:05:47,550 need to move forward and you know 135 00:05:52,730 --> 00:05:49,910 everybody step up and you know claim 136 00:05:54,950 --> 00:05:52,740 their opinions and and stand behind them 137 00:05:58,370 --> 00:05:54,960 as as a real person instead of an 138 00:06:01,130 --> 00:05:58,380 anonymous avatar and tag and of course 139 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:01,140 if you are a woman living in disability 140 00:06:06,170 --> 00:06:03,210 in New Zealand do you think the 141 00:06:08,630 --> 00:06:06,180 paparazzi is gonna basically fly across 142 00:06:09,290 --> 00:06:08,640 the ocean and seek you out oh yeah 143 00:06:11,030 --> 00:06:09,300 definitely 144 00:06:15,410 --> 00:06:11,040 oh man that happened the beaten path 145 00:06:17,450 --> 00:06:15,420 through the sheep herds to herd or New 146 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:17,460 Zealand there's more sheep than humans 147 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:19,530 and I think what's the saying the men 148 00:06:24,470 --> 00:06:20,970 are men the women are men and the sheep 149 00:06:26,090 --> 00:06:24,480 are all nervous bad joke I will not say 150 00:06:28,460 --> 00:06:26,100 anything because they claim I tell bad 151 00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:28,470 jokes but the real truth is I don't tell 152 00:06:32,510 --> 00:06:30,000 jokes occasionally I'll throw one of 153 00:06:34,580 --> 00:06:32,520 these old disc jockey puns out but I do 154 00:06:37,610 --> 00:06:34,590 not tell jokes want to tell you one 155 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:37,620 thing very quickly about old stuff or an 156 00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:39,930 old story lately I've been coming across 157 00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:43,110 old friends that I knew in the early 158 00:06:48,260 --> 00:06:45,120 stages of my radio career such as a guy 159 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:48,270 named Bob kite or RJ kite who does now 160 00:06:52,970 --> 00:06:50,730 the announcing for some of our bumpers 161 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:52,980 over on the tech night out live and some 162 00:06:56,420 --> 00:06:54,690 of you who notice or care about these 163 00:06:58,310 --> 00:06:56,430 things you notice on our theme song we 164 00:06:59,119 --> 00:06:58,320 have a new voice there but he's somebody 165 00:07:02,449 --> 00:06:59,129 I've known from 166 00:07:04,909 --> 00:07:02,459 years bob Zanotti who actually ran a 167 00:07:07,879 --> 00:07:04,919 paranormal radio show on a college 168 00:07:09,919 --> 00:07:07,889 station in new jersey years ago I was a 169 00:07:11,809 --> 00:07:09,929 guest on the show and now after all 170 00:07:14,509 --> 00:07:11,819 these years I guess he sought us out and 171 00:07:16,759 --> 00:07:14,519 he graciously agreed to do those 172 00:07:19,579 --> 00:07:16,769 introductions for the show Bobson on t 173 00:07:21,679 --> 00:07:19,589 v-- lentes is manly voice he did indeed 174 00:07:24,259 --> 00:07:21,689 and he's a professional voice-over 175 00:07:26,959 --> 00:07:24,269 artist as you can tell from the quality 176 00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:26,969 of what he does but he also has a great 177 00:07:33,379 --> 00:07:30,089 collection of the old shows that he did 178 00:07:35,869 --> 00:07:33,389 featuring famous UFO personalities who 179 00:07:37,850 --> 00:07:35,879 are no longer here and I'm kind of 180 00:07:40,549 --> 00:07:37,860 hoping that we'll get together with Bob 181 00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:40,559 in the very near future and get some of 182 00:07:44,209 --> 00:07:42,240 this stuff back on the air I guess he 183 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:44,219 has to digitize the old cassettes and 184 00:07:47,869 --> 00:07:46,050 reel-to-reel tape files or something 185 00:07:50,540 --> 00:07:47,879 we'll get him on the air you'll hear 186 00:07:52,790 --> 00:07:50,550 people like August see Roberts Dominick 187 00:07:53,239 --> 00:07:52,800 the chassis and other people no longer 188 00:07:55,759 --> 00:07:53,249 with us 189 00:07:58,339 --> 00:07:55,769 forgotten figures in the UFO field and 190 00:08:00,379 --> 00:07:58,349 perhaps they had very fascinating things 191 00:08:04,730 --> 00:08:00,389 to say we're also hoping to put together 192 00:08:06,739 --> 00:08:04,740 a show on Long John Nebel now his shows 193 00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:06,749 go back to the 50s I don't know if 194 00:08:12,379 --> 00:08:09,360 there's any copyright or heirs to Long 195 00:08:13,850 --> 00:08:12,389 John who might object if we ran segments 196 00:08:15,589 --> 00:08:13,860 on the air we'll have to check about 197 00:08:17,269 --> 00:08:15,599 permissions but I'd love to do that 198 00:08:20,119 --> 00:08:17,279 because I think a lot of fascinating 199 00:08:23,329 --> 00:08:20,129 things happen there and maybe listeners 200 00:08:25,909 --> 00:08:23,339 then can judge fairly whether or not 201 00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:25,919 we've learned anything about paranormal 202 00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:28,529 investigations specifically UFO 203 00:08:34,699 --> 00:08:31,649 investigations in any case Chris you set

00:09:03,210 --> 00:09:00,930 still going on actually to this day but 216 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:03,220 in the early 70s there are a group 217 00:09:09,210 --> 00:09:06,250 of shall we say alternative thinking 218 00:09:13,199 --> 00:09:09,220 physicist Jack Sarfatti Nick Herbert 219 00:09:14,939 --> 00:09:13,209 Paul SOG Fred Alan wolf was a whole 220 00:09:18,179 --> 00:09:14,949 group of these guys that were real 221 00:09:21,119 --> 00:09:18,189 radical sort of new thinking physicists 222 00:09:23,689 --> 00:09:21,129 you know quantum physicists and they 223 00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:23,699 they loosely formed a group called the 224 00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:26,800 the fundamental fundamental physics 225 00:09:31,050 --> 00:09:28,720 group of course fundamental and physics 226 00:09:33,689 --> 00:09:31,060 are misspelled with F's instead of ph's 227 00:09:37,019 --> 00:09:33,699 and stuff and and they they were rumored 228 00:09:40,410 --> 00:09:37,029 to imbibe and quite a quite a wide 229 00:09:42,269 --> 00:09:40,420 assortment of psychedelics as was the 230 00:09:43,530 --> 00:09:42,279 custom at the time and there's some 231 00:09:45,689 --> 00:09:43,540 question this is one

their thinking because they they came up 235 00:09:54,199 --> 00:09:51,129 with some radical ideas including 236 00:09:57,179 --> 00:09:54,209 faster-than-light communication and 237 00:10:02,480 -->

MIT graduate and he's written a 341 00:15:00,790 --> 00:14:58,940 very provocative book that I read a 342 00:15:03,940 --> 00:15:00,800 review of the book and and David I just 343 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:03,950 instantly knew that we would just we 344 00:15:07,660 --> 00:15:05,570 should get you on the show and talk 345 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:07,670 about this it's a little bit outside of 346 00:15:12,819 --> 00:15:10,250 our normal purview which is the 347 00:15:14,590 --> 00:15:12,829 paranormal but when you look at people 348 00:15:16,509 --> 00:15:14,600 like Jax are foggy and Nick Herbert 349 00:15:18,220 --> 00:15:16,519 these these guys are they're pretty 350 00:15:19,990 --> 00:15:18,230 paranormal in their own ways so I 351 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:20,000 thought that this would be a good 352 00:15:24,220 --> 00:15:22,370 opportunity to open up our subject 353 00:15:26,290 --> 00:15:24,230 matter on the show and get you on I 354 00:15:28,180 --> 00:15:26,300 really enjoyed the book it was very 355 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:28,190 entertaining you were able to take 356 00:15:32,230 --> 00:15:30,170 pretty complex subject matter and 357 00:15:32,980 --> 00:15:32,240 present it in an easy-to-understand 358 00:15:36,970 --> 00:15:32,990 layman 359 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:36,980 there's a little math in there but 360 00:15:41,380 --> 00:15:38,930 nothing you know it's not rocket science 361 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:41,390 just the whole way that you were able to 362 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:45,290 present this this wonderful process that 363 00:15:48,550 --> 00:15:46,490 these gentlemen went through the 364 00:15:50,740 --> 00:15:48,560 scientists went through and are still 365 00:15:52,300 --> 00:15:50,750 going through to some some extent we'll 366 00:15:53,829 --> 00:15:52,310 talk about that I'm sure later on in the 367 00:15:55,449 --> 00:15:53,839 show what some of these gentlemen are up 368 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:55,459 to but why don't you give us a little 369 00:15:59,860 --> 00:15:57,890 background on yourself and tell us a 370 00:16:02,260 --> 00:15:59,870 little bit about yourself but also how 371 00:16:05,139 --> 00:16:02,270 you became involved in writing this book 372 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:05,149 how they helped you save physics sure I 373 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:07,250 should start off with just a quick 374 00:16:11,019 --> 00:16:09,050 correction actually I am I'm not an MIT 375 00:16:12,550 --> 00:16:11,029 graduate but I do teach there now so I'm 376 00:16:15,579 --> 00:16:12,560 trying to make more MIT graduates but 377 00:16:17,740 --> 00:16:15,589 anyway my ask you fast question then we 378 00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:17,750 have a controversy in the pound in the 379 00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:20,240 field about a guy named Philip and Brad 380 00:16:26,439 --> 00:16:23,510 know who claims he went to MIT did you 381 00:16:27,460 --> 00:16:26,449 ever hear that's not conclusive by the 382 00:16:30,460 -->

00:16:34,310 right now I am a professor at MIT I 386 00:16:38,710 --> 00:16:36,770 teach both in the program and science 387 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:38,720 technology and society and also in the 388 00:16:42,490 --> 00:16:40,970 Department of Physics and I came to this 389 00:16:44,410 --> 00:16:42,500 topic the way that the book really got 390 00:16:45,970 --> 00:16:44,420 started was you know

00:16:57,250 --> 00:16:55,520 excited about as a kid one was Fritjof 397 00:16:58,690 --> 00:16:57,260 koppers built the DAO of physics the 398 00:17:00,610 --> 00:16:58,700 book is probably well

00:17:09,290 as a kid and to be honest I wasn't all 405 00:17:14,470 --> 00:17:11,510 that excited or really into that kind of 406 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:14,480 Eastern spirituality side but I was 407 00:17:19,120 --> 00:17:16,730 really enamored of his explanations his 408 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:19,130 introduction to ideas from relativity 409 00:17:22,420 --> 00:17:20,930 and quantum theory and that book really 410 00:17:24,610 --> 00:17:22,430 really stuck with me when I got to 411 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:24,620 college I got really excited about the 412 00:17:27,790 --> 00:17:26,450 notion of Bell's Theorem and quantum 413 00:17:30,370 --> 00:17:27,800 entanglement of trouble we'll talk about 414 00:17:32,230 --> 00:17:30,380 it some in some detail later on but that 415 00:17:33,790 --> 00:17:32,240 was the sort of quantum weirdness the 416 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:33,800 the notion that quantum theory is 417 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:35,810 painting a picture for us of the world 418 00:17:39,460 --> 00:17:38,090 that just seems so out of whack with our 419 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:39,470 intuitions and with what we're used to 420 00:17:42,490 --> 00:17:41,210 that was really captivating I mean I 421 00:17:44,260 --> 00:17:42,500 really grabbed and then in grad school 422 00:17:47,230 --> 00:17:44,270 is working on my physics dissertation I 423 00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:47,240 had the opportunity to do a benchtop 424 00:17:51,850 --> 00:17:49,910 experiment on entanglement on Bell's 425 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:51,860 Theorem it turns out the very first 426 00:17:57,190 --> 00:17:54,650 version of that experiment was done by a 427 00:17:58,780 --> 00:17:57,200 physicist named John clauser and when I 428 00:18:00,490 --> 00:17:58,790 did a little more digging it turns out 429 00:18:02,050 --> 00:18:00,500 clauser had done that experiment in 430 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:02,060 Berkeley in the 70s 431 00:18:05,590 --> 00:18:03,650 Fritjof copper who wrote the dowel 432 00:18:07,060 --> 00:18:05,600 physics was also in Berkeley in 433 00:18:08,590 --> 00:18:07,070 Stephanies around that same time in fact 434 00:18:10,540 --> 00:18:08,600 they knew each other they were both 435 00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:10,550 members of this of this little weird 436 00:18:14,530 --> 00:18:13,370 kind of eccentric ragtag group they 437 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:14,540 called themselves the fundamental 438 00:18:17,620 --> 00:18:15,650 physics group and that's the group that 439 00:18:19,420 --> 00:18:17,630 I really focus on for this book so I do 440 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:19,430 in looking in hindsight you know they're 441 00:18:23,230 --> 00:18:21,410 many kind of you know arrows along the 442 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:23,240 way they led me to this group and to try 443 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:25,490 to write that book well first of all you 444 00:18:29,890 --> 00:18:27,170 know Bell's Theorem really does play an 445 00:18:33,100 --> 00:18:29,900 important it's a pivotal subject in the 446 00:18:34,450 --> 00:18:33,110 book and in these scientists process why 447 00:18:36,370 --> 00:18:34,460 don't you give us kind of a layman's 448 00:18:38,650 --> 00:18:36,380 thumbnail sketch of what Bell's Theorem 449 00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:38,660 is so our listeners can understand how 450 00:18:43,870 --> 00:18:40,130 these guys were 451 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:43,880 excited and inspired to to work in this 452 00:18:47,860 --> 00:18:46,970 realm sure a belter is one of these you 453 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:47,870 know quintessential 454 00:18:51,850 --> 00:18:49,850 examples of just quantum weirdness it's 455 00:18:53,919 --> 00:18:51,860 it's on a level with Schrodinger's cat 456 00:18:55,870 --> 00:18:53,929 or you know you name your favorite weird 457 00:18:57,820 --> 00:18:55,880 thought expand so Belgium's name for 458 00:19:00,370 --> 00:18:57,830 business with John Bell he published in 459 00:19:03,580 --> 00:19:00,380 a really totally obscure journal in 1964 460 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:03,590 got completely ignored by physicists for 461 00:19:07,060 --> 00:19:05,570 a long time by the group in Berkeley 462 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:07,070 that I write about they were among the 463 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:08,570 earliest to really pick up on this and 464 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:10,850 get excited so Bell's Theorem seems to 465 00:19:15,789 --> 00:19:13,250 suggest that quantum particles that had 466 00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:15,799 interacted at some point in the past in 467 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:17,510 all kinds about you pretty mundane ways 468 00:19:21,070 --> 00:19:19,490 nothing fancy about it that they can 469 00:19:23,020 --> 00:19:21,080 retain a kind of connection with each 470 00:19:25,779 --> 00:19:23,030 other even if those particles have moved 471 00:19:27,580 --> 00:19:25,789 arbitrarily far apart so what it seems 472 00:19:29,169 --> 00:19:27,590 to implies if we sort of tickle a 473 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:29,179 particle here we make some measurements 474 00:19:33,490 --> 00:19:31,490 on an electron completely mundane 475 00:19:35,409 --> 00:19:33,500 straightforward thing it should make its 476 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:35,419 partner particle dance instantly 477 00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:37,970 instantaneously even if that particle is 478 00:19:42,070 --> 00:19:40,400 you know a galaxy away it boggles the 479 00:19:43,870 --> 00:19:42,080 mind that these two things which are no 480 00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:43,880 longer in contact with each other they 481 00:19:48,190 --> 00:19:46,130 stopped interacting long ago and yet 482 00:19:50,470 --> 00:19:48,200 they can retain this almost like a kind 483 00:19:52,029 --> 00:19:50,480 of telepathic style link if like that's 484 00:19:53,409 --> 00:19:52,039 when people struggle to put those 485 00:19:54,850 --> 00:19:53,419 equations in the words they come up with 486 00:19:56,980 --> 00:19:54,860 words like that there's a weird 487 00:19:58,510 --> 00:19:56,990 connection between them that is really 488 00:20:00,430 --> 00:19:58,520 not like what we would see around us at 489 00:20:02,590 --> 00:20:00,440 least in the ordinary ordinary world so 490 00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:02,600 Bell's Theorem is one of these examples 491 00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:04,130 where the quantum world can just depart 492 00:20:08,289 --> 00:20:06,049 really quite radically from our 493 00:20:10,450 --> 00:20:08,299 expectations so this is really a bell 494 00:20:14,070 --> 00:20:10,460 rock sort of foundation to quantum 495 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:16,450 Bell's Theorem nowadays is often known 496 00:20:20,260 --> 00:20:18,770 as quite an entanglement or nonlocality 497 00:20:23,049 --> 00:20:20,270 these are all basically pointing the 498 00:20:24,580 --> 00:20:23,059 same idea well what about it I mean 499 00:20:26,230 --> 00:20:24,590 let's let's start kind of at the 500 00:20:29,470 --> 00:20:26,240 beginning once you give us a sense of 501 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:29,480 who these fundamental physics groups 502 00:20:34,180 --> 00:20:32,570 were who the individuals were and kind 503 00:20:38,020 --> 00:20:34,190 of lets that set the stage a little bit 504 00:20:38,590 --> 00:20:38,030 about the the times around that the Bay 505 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:38,600 Area 506 00:20:43,690 --> 00:20:40,250 these are Wilder willie times and these 507 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:43,700 guys I don't think I think it's safe to 508 00:20:49,230 --> 00:20:46,490 say that they were quite psychedelically 509 00:20:52,149 --> 00:20:49,240 aware they I'm sure they were doing 510 00:20:53,530 --> 00:20:52,159 psychedelics like most people of their 511 00:20:56,470 --> 00:20:53,540 age at that time 512 00:20:58,450 --> 00:20:56,480 once you give us a sense of how this 513 00:21:00,190 --> 00:20:58,460 group got together you know the 514 00:21:03,940 --> 00:21:00,200 struggles that they had in the beginning 515 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:03,950 of their process and sort of give us a 516 00:21:09,730 --> 00:21:06,890 sense of the you know the the landscape 517 00:21:10,990 --> 00:21:09,740 there sure yeah you know the the group 518 00:21:12,700 --> 00:21:11,000 that they formed they called themselves 519 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:12,710 very playful title the fun a little 520 00:21:15,490 --> 00:21:14,210 physics group they spelled physics with 521 00:21:17,890 --> 00:21:15,500 an F they're clearly having a good time 522 00:21:20,740 --> 00:21:17,900 and it really had a core of maybe eight 523 00:21:22,510 --> 00:21:20,750 or ten members the group was would the 524 00:21:24,670 --> 00:21:22,520 end of the weekly meetings would grow or 525 00:21:25,810 --> 00:21:24,680 contract it could be as many as 40 or 50 526 00:21:27,790 --> 00:21:25,820 but there's only about eight or ten of 527 00:21:29,890 --> 00:21:27,800 them who kind of saw it through every 528 00:21:31,750 --> 00:21:29,900 week for about almost four years for the 529 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:31,760 long long-running informal but 530 00:21:35,410 --> 00:21:33,770 long-running group and like you say 531 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:35,420 these were basically folks who were 532 00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:37,010 largely down-on-her-luck at the time 533 00:21:41,890 --> 00:21:39,110 they had almost all of them had 534 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:41,900 completed PhDs in physics from some of 535 00:21:45,850 --> 00:21:44,210 the nation's most elite Snee a premier 536 00:21:47,830 --> 00:21:45,860 graduate program these were incredibly 537 00:21:49,660 --> 00:21:47,840 well trained smart physicists you know 538 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:49,670 places like Columbia and Stanford and 539 00:21:52,540 --> 00:21:51,050 Berkeley and Illinois and you know you 540 00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:52,550 name it but they had finished their 541 00:21:57,130 --> 00:21:54,710 training just at when the bottom fell 542 00:21:59,260 --> 00:21:57,140 out of the physics profession it was an 543 00:22:01,090 --> 00:21:59,270 incredibly hard time to get anything 544 00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:01,100 like a kind of standard job in physics 545 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:04,130 in the early 70s at one point in 1971 546 00:22:08,140 --> 00:22:06,290 for example their more than a thousand 547 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:08,150 young physicists registered looking for 548 00:22:12,970 --> 00:22:11,450 jobs and 50 jobs on offer a thousand 250 549 00:22:14,770 --> 00:22:12,980 and we were talking you know that the 550 00:22:16,930 --> 00:22:14,780 market had just fallen through the floor 551 00:22:19,060 --> 00:22:16,940 a kind of speculative bubble had burst 552 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:19,070 is like a Bernie Madoff kind of scheme 553 00:22:24,100 --> 00:22:21,650 you know go on I wanted to just mention 554 00:22:25,930 --> 00:22:24,110 here it seems like we're reliving you've 555 00:22:27,790 --> 00:22:25,940 had experience today because the bottom 556 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:27,800 has fallen out today you have people 557 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:29,690 with advanced degrees today who are 558 00:22:33,970 --> 00:22:31,730 lucky to get employed at a fast-food 559 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:33,980 restaurant for one of the same reasons 560 00:22:37,540 --> 00:22:35,930 yeah that's right and so we've gone 561 00:22:39,670 --> 00:22:37,550 through these blumenbach cycles actually 562 00:22:41,890 --> 00:22:39,680 a few times in in reading last few 563 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:41,900 decades I want again to this as we 564

00:27:17,970 the Rendlesham UFO incident you're 672 00:27:25,390 --> 00:27:20,100 listening to the podcast the gold 673 00:27:31,150 --> 00:27:27,670 we're back gene and Kris talking to 674 00:27:32,740 --> 00:27:31,160 David Kiser professor at MIT author of 675 00:27:36,100 --> 00:27:32,750 and let me give you the full name of the 676 00:27:39,190 --> 00:27:36,110 book here how the hippie saved physics 677 00:27:41,350 --> 00:27:39,200 science counterculture and the quantum 678 00:27:44,620 --> 00:27:41,360 revival and right now he's talking about 679 00:27:46,930 --> 00:27:44,630 this culture of this group of scientists 680 00:27:49,090 --> 00:27:46,940 who couldn't get a job because the 681 00:27:51,210 --> 00:27:49,100 bottom had fallen out I guess of the 682 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:51,220 business and we recall also people like 683 00:27:57,010 --> 00:27:54,890 Stanton Friedman nuclear physicists he 684 00:27:59,530 --> 00:27:57,020 reached situation where he couldn't find 685 00:28:03,160 --> 00:27:59,540 employment except as a UFO investigator 686 00:28:06,549 --> 00:28:03,170 so David Kiser you couldn't become a UFO 687 00:28:08,020 --> 00:28:06,559 investigator you didn't know not this 688 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:08,030 time around not in this life anyway 689 00:28:13,419 --> 00:28:11,090 but it's true the folks I focus on for 690 00:28:14,770 --> 00:28:13,429 the book you they were they had to make 691 00:28:16,330 --> 00:28:14,780 a different way in the world so they 692 00:28:18,190 --> 00:28:16,340 couldn't just do what their teachers 693 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:18,200 generation had done in terms of you know 694 00:28:22,090 --> 00:28:20,210 the the expected routine you get your 695 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:22,100 PhD from a good place you get a good job 696 00:28:26,049 --> 00:28:24,170 you do your mainstream research through 697 00:28:28,150 --> 00:28:26,059 no fault of their own this is this 698 00:28:29,620 --> 00:28:28,160 generation then members like this 699 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:29,630 birthday group they were really just 700 00:28:33,669 --> 00:28:31,610 caught off guard and so what amazed me 701 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:33,679 about the story they found each other 702 00:28:37,180 --> 00:28:34,850 through different ways it kind of 703 00:28:40,270 --> 00:28:37,190 bumbled along and the roads led them to 704 00:28:41,350 --> 00:28:40,280 Berkeley I always joke is it's 1973 you 705 00:28:43,450 --> 00:28:41,360 got time on your hands my little go to 706 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:43,460 Berkeley was an amazing place to be as 707 00:28:46,060 --> 00:28:45,050 I'm sure we'll talk about and once they 708 00:28:47,710 --> 00:28:46,070 got there through different ways 709 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:47,720 different things that brought them there 710 00:28:51,310 --> 00:28:49,370 they pretty quickly found each other and 711 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:51,320 they found kind of like-minded people 712 00:28:55,930 --> 00:28:53,690 who are incredibly passionate about 713 00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:55,940 about modern physics about what it might 714 00:29:00,130 --> 00:28:58,370 imply but where it might lead who who 715 00:29:01,930 --> 00:29:00,140 had seen those questions really kind of 716 00:29:03,790 --> 00:29:01,940 denigrated in their formal training so 717 00:29:05,350 --> 00:29:03,800 they were trained to be extremely good 718 00:29:06,970 --> 00:29:05,360 with their calculations like they could 719 00:29:08,980 --> 00:29:06,980 sling the equations around with the best 720 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:08,990 of them but they hadn't been encouraged 721 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:10,610 and in fact their coursework it really 722 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:13,010 had really just discouraged any other 723 00:29:17,049 --> 00:29:15,530 kind of philosophical interpretive what 724 00:29:18,730 --> 00:29:17,059 does it all mean kind of stuff you know 725 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:18,740 and that's what this group was really 726 00:29:21,730 --> 00:29:20,090 hungry for and they figured they had 727 00:29:23,110 --> 00:29:21,740 time on her hands they weren't punching 728 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:23,120 the clock anymore they found each other 729 00:29:27,100 --> 00:29:25,130 they had this kind of shared interest as 730 00:29:29,500 --> 00:29:27,110 they formed this very informal but very 731 00:29:30,820 --> 00:29:29,510 kind of spirited group the fundamental 732 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:30,830 physics group and they met together 733 00:29:34,990 --> 00:29:33,650 every Friday afternoon made a range for 734 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:35,000 some speakers that have kind of 735 00:29:38,950 --> 00:29:37,370 brainstorming sessions and sometimes 736 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:38,960 they would truck on down 737 00:29:42,970 --> 00:29:40,610 bring the whole show down to the Esalen 738 00:29:45,519 --> 00:29:42,980 Institute in Big Sur California about 739 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:45,529 150 miles south of San Francisco right 740 00:29:49,690 --> 00:29:47,450 on the coast you'll breathtakingly 741 00:29:51,970 --> 00:29:49,700 beautiful setting and as long as I'm 742 00:29:54,430 --> 00:29:51,980 sure you know is famous even at the time 743 00:29:57,100 --> 00:29:54,440 for a kind of incubator of the new age 744 00:29:59,350 --> 00:29:57,110 right all things new age or a cult 745 00:30:01,779 --> 00:29:59,360 whether it was Eastern mysticism or 746 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:01,789 psychedelic drugs or yoga which once 747 00:30:04,990 --> 00:30:04,010 seemed very radical vegetarianism things 748 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:05,000 that you know some of which now seem 749 00:30:08,289 --> 00:30:06,770 actually pretty straightforward and it 750 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:08,299 turns out the single longest-running 751 00:30:12,669 --> 00:30:10,610 seminar series in Epsilon's history was 752 00:30:14,019 --> 00:30:12,679 actually on quantum mechanics and the 753 00:30:15,340 --> 00:30:14,029 nature of reality these got through 754 00:30:18,250 --> 00:30:15,350 physicists that I'm that I wrote about 755 00:30:20,470 --> 00:30:18,260 we're organizing every year for the 756 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:20,480 better part of two decades it was that 757 00:30:25,180 --> 00:30:23,210 was it was was hot stuff at f1 around 758 00:30:27,100 --> 00:30:25,190 the hot tubs and all the rest so these 759 00:30:29,230 --> 00:30:27,110 these folks were carving out a kind of 760 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:29,240 parallel universe for themselves to 761 00:30:33,130 --> 00:30:30,890 pursue these questions that had had 762 00:30:34,659 --> 00:30:33,140 really fallen out of favor or fallen out 763 00:30:37,060 --> 00:30:34,669 of the curriculum for mainstream critics 764 00:30:39,549 --> 00:30:37,070 so why don't you give us a sense of some 765 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:39,559 of the early thinking that they they 766 00:30:43,299 --> 00:30:41,090 bounced around with each other and some 767 00:30:45,220 --> 00:30:43,309 of the early attempts at at creating 768 00:30:47,169 --> 00:30:45,230 hypotheses and then doing the work that 769 00:30:48,940 --> 00:30:47,179 it would take to to prove them and get 770 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:48,950 published or so you know one of the 771 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:50,690 things that really mesmerized the 772 00:30:54,159 --> 00:30:52,850 members the group was Belcher we're just 773 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:54,169 talking about a moment ago this notion 774 00:30:57,850 --> 00:30:56,450 quite an entanglement of particles that 775 00:30:59,710 --> 00:30:57,860 could be separated in space but still 776 00:31:01,389 --> 00:30:59,720 share this kind of instant connection 777 00:31:03,490 --> 00:31:01,399 and they were among the earliest 778 00:31:04,659 --> 00:31:03,500 physicists anywhere in the world and 779 00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:04,669 take that seriously they weren't the 780 00:31:08,260 --> 00:31:06,110 only ones but they were they were we 781 00:31:09,789 --> 00:31:08,270 might say the early adopters go back and 782 00:31:12,100 --> 00:31:09,799 look at who published articles on Bell's 783 00:31:14,350 --> 00:31:12,110 Theorem during the first fifteen years 784 00:31:16,419 --> 00:31:14,360 after bells original publication and 785 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:16,429 they dominated by members of this group 786 00:31:22,210 --> 00:31:19,130 so not exclusive but clearly you know in 787 00:31:23,950 --> 00:31:22,220 the game early and and these folks were 788 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:23,960 worried about entanglement and 789 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:25,730 nonlocality about how quantum theory 790 00:31:29,620 --> 00:31:28,250 violates our ordinary experience but 791 00:31:31,299 --> 00:31:29,630 they also some of them and we're also 792 00:31:34,210 --> 00:31:31,309 curious about would this help explain 793 00:31:35,590 --> 00:31:34,220 other kind of strange phenomena around 794 00:31:36,340 --> 00:31:35,600 them and this is where I think it 795 00:31:37,810 --> 00:31:36,350 matters a great deal 796 00:31:40,389 --> 00:31:37,820 that they were sitting in the Bay Area 797 00:31:43,210 --> 00:31:40,399 in the 70s as a lot of stuff was getting 798 00:31:46,180 --> 00:31:43,220 attention in kind of in the air and one 799 00:31:48,430 --> 00:31:46,190 topic was for example uri geller the 800 00:31:50,860 --> 00:31:48,440 israeli performer who then began to 801 00:31:52,570 --> 00:31:50,870 claim he had genuine psychic abilities 802 00:31:54,700 --> 00:31:52,580 he was whisked to the United States for 803 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:54,710 careful scientific study one of the 804 00:31:58,690 --> 00:31:56,450 first places he went to her was brought 805 00:32:01,419 --> 00:31:58,700 to was in the Bay Area the Stanford 806 00:32:03,460 --> 00:32:01,429 Research Institute or as RI it was a 807 00:32:05,049 --> 00:32:03,470 defense contract and laboratory they had 808 00:32:06,220 --> 00:32:05,059 only recently been spun off from 809 00:32:07,659 --> 00:32:06,230 Stanford University 810 00:32:09,039 --> 00:32:07,669 so ordinarily they did you know tests 811 00:32:10,750 --> 00:32:09,049 for the Pentagon or some private 812 00:32:13,149 --> 00:32:10,760 industry and all of a sudden they were 813 00:32:14,620 --> 00:32:13,159 the group @sr I again sort of with time 814 00:32:17,289 --> 00:32:14,630 on their hands during this this low 815 00:32:18,879 --> 00:32:17,299 point in the physics profession and they 816 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:18,889 began studying people like Geller in 817 00:32:23,620 --> 00:32:21,770 fact many other people that they had you 818 00:32:25,500 --> 00:32:23,630 know mind-reading abilities did they 819 00:32:28,180 --> 00:32:25,510 actually come to any conclusions 820 00:32:30,399 --> 00:32:28,190 positive or negative about these alleged 821 00:32:31,690 --> 00:32:30,409 abilities this is very important they 822 00:32:33,310 --> 00:32:31,700 did they came to the conclusion they 823 00:32:34,629 --> 00:32:33,320 didn't sway everyone who tried to listen 824 00:32:36,639 --> 00:32:34,639 to them but they were convinced these 825 00:32:37,779 --> 00:32:36,649 are physicists how to top and Russell 826 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:37,789 Targ and in fact it's a whole group 827 00:32:42,039 --> 00:32:40,250 there at one point they got you know 828 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:42,049 articles into some of the most 829 00:32:45,940 --> 00:32:43,850 prestigious peer-reviewed journals on 830 00:32:48,250 --> 00:32:45,950 the planet like the journal Nature 831 00:32:50,620 --> 00:32:48,260 Proceedings of the IEEE Tripoli the 832 00:32:52,450 --> 00:32:50,630 electric engineering Association where 833 00:32:54,789 --> 00:32:52,460 they they were conducting experimental 834 00:32:56,529 --> 00:32:54,799 tests laboratory tests under what they 835 00:32:58,930 --> 00:32:56,539 considered you know carefully controlled 836 00:33:00,610 --> 00:32:58,940 conditions for people like a Geller in 837 00:33:03,129 --> 00:33:00,620 fact I said many others names might not 838 00:33:05,159 --> 00:33:03,139 be well known today of things like we 839 00:33:07,450 --> 00:33:05,169 might casually call mind-reading 840 00:33:09,909 --> 00:33:07,460 telekinesis these kinds of things and so 841 00:33:11,879 --> 00:33:09,919 this was getting pressed not only in 842 00:33:14,740 --> 00:33:11,889 kind of a hip underground you know 843 00:33:15,970 --> 00:33:14,750 countercultures scene but also fun page 844 00:33:17,950 --> 00:33:15,980 news at the time and the San Francisco 845 00:33:20,019 --> 00:33:17,960 Chronicle and other kind of mainstream 846 00:33:22,210 --> 00:33:20,029 newspapers and so these physicists that 847 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:22,220 I wrote about tor in Berkeley you know 848 00:33:25,810 --> 00:33:23,450 some of them were reading about this 849 00:33:27,700 --> 00:33:25,820 stuff they got incredibly excited it 850 00:33:30,519 --> 00:33:27,710 began they began to wonder whether this 851 00:33:33,460 --> 00:33:30,529 mind-reading or telepathy or you know 852 00:33:35,260 --> 00:33:33,470 ESP type stuff maybe that was an 853 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:35,270 instance maybe that could be explained 854 00:33:40,419 --> 00:33:37,730 by this weird quantum thing like like 855 00:33:42,190 --> 00:33:40,429 not nonlocality or entanglement so maybe 856 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:42,200 no they had an extra some of them had an 857 00:33:45,820 --> 00:33:44,210 extra impetus to worry about the kind of 858 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:45,830 grand meaning of quantum theory because 859 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:47,570 they thought it could account for even 860 00:33:51,820 --> 00:33:49,490 wider range of the phenomena like these 861 00:33:54,399 --> 00:33:51,830 tests at Fri they got really interested 862 00:33:57,460 --> 00:33:54,409 in that well at the time I mean phrases 863 00:33:59,649 --> 00:33:57,470 like counterfactual in definiteness and 864 00:34:01,690 --> 00:33:59,659 nonlocality ittan states these are 865 00:34:03,610 --> 00:34:01,700 really difficult subjects and in terms 866 00:34:05,070 --> 00:34:03,620 to communicate to people even even 867 00:34:07,700 --> 00:34:05,080 people with you know the 868 00:34:12,510 --> 00:34:07,710 sense of Education and these guys were 869 00:34:15,780 --> 00:34:12,520 they in in their own sort of I think 870 00:34:17,460 --> 00:34:15,790 unique way let's put it got involved in 871 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:17,470 in in in in really trying to communicate 872 00:34:21,510 --> 00:34:19,570 these subjects and one of the things 873 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:21,520 that I've it's always struck me is you 874 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:24,970 know how s RI the Targ and Puthoff got 875 00:34:28,860 --> 00:34:27,010 started and of course the early 876 00:34:31,380 --> 00:34:28,870 experiments with Uri Geller and Pat 877 00:34:32,850 --> 00:34:31,390 price and then later Ingo Swann yeah you 878 00:34:35,010 --> 00:34:32,860 didn't mention this but this then 879 00:34:37,020 --> 00:34:35,020 gradually kind of morphed into the whole 880 00:34:38,970 --> 00:34:37,030 remote viewing project that then 881 00:34:40,860 --> 00:34:38,980 actually raised quite a lot of eyebrows 882 00:34:44,250 --> 00:34:40,870 especially in the intelligence community 883 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:44,260 in the in the military and yeah and 884 00:34:48,389 --> 00:34:46,210 these guys seem to swirl around this 885 00:34:50,730 --> 00:34:48,399 whole sort of cauldron of creative 886 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:50,740 thinking and ideas one of the one of the 887 00:34:56,580 --> 00:34:54,370 one of the real I think leading figures 888 00:35:00,870 --> 00:34:56,590 in this whole physics group was of 889 00:35:02,850 --> 00:35:00,880 course Jack Sarfati who is quite a 890 00:35:06,510 --> 00:35:02,860 character he's still out there 891 00:35:08,070 --> 00:35:06,520 I for a scientist who supposedly is 892 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:08,080 doing you know some pretty heavy-duty 893 00:35:12,450 --> 00:35:10,090 physics works I don't know how the heck 894 00:35:15,180 --> 00:35:12,460 he has time to fire off several hundred 895 00:35:17,910 --> 00:35:15,190 emails every day I've unfortunately been 896 00:35:20,610 --> 00:35:17,920 the recipient of some rather strident 897 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:20,620 emails from Jack we'd like to get Jack 898 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:23,010 on the show at some point he has 899 00:35:27,090 --> 00:35:24,970 surprisingly agreed to come on the show 900 00:35:29,310 --> 00:35:27,100 so he can we can dig into some of his 901 00:35:30,900 --> 00:35:29,320 war stories but I mean these guys are 902 00:35:32,850 --> 00:35:30,910 really I mean they were walking the walk 903 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:32,860 and talking the talk I mean several of 904 00:35:36,870 --> 00:35:34,210 them actually had jobs as like 905 00:35:39,150 --> 00:35:36,880 dishwashers and just you know they did 906 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:39,160 anything they could to get by why don't 907 00:35:44,460 --> 00:35:41,530 you describe some of these figures of 908 00:35:45,810 --> 00:35:44,470 for us Nick Herbert of course Sarfati 909 00:35:47,310 --> 00:35:45,820 don't you give us a little thumbnail 910 00:35:48,810 --> 00:35:47,320 sketch on these guys because some of the 911 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:48,820 photographs I've seen I mean they're 912 00:35:54,690 --> 00:35:50,530 they look like something out of Star 913 00:35:56,340 --> 00:35:54,700 Wars so each of the people I wrote about 914 00:35:58,740 --> 00:35:56,350 I guess almost all of them are still 915 00:36:00,480 --> 00:35:58,750 alive you mentioned Jack's Asadi Nick 916 00:36:02,130 --> 00:36:00,490 Herbert so the whole the whole group in 917 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:02,140 fact I think they're flourishing and 918 00:36:05,700 --> 00:36:04,210 they were extremely generous with their 919 00:36:06,630 --> 00:36:05,710 time for me and I was working on this 920 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:06,640 book so I 921 00:36:10,050 --> 00:36:07,930 I know them you know really pretty well 922 00:36:12,420 --> 00:36:10,060 did you get a chance to like hang out 923 00:36:14,730 --> 00:36:12,430 with em where is it mostly email and 924 00:36:16,020 --> 00:36:14,740 telephone I love it I mean so I had a I 925 00:36:18,390 --> 00:36:16,030 spent the better part of you know a 926 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:18,400 really fun day in San Cisco with with 927 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:20,050 the jax-ur Friday and Fred Alan wolf 928 00:36:24,090 --> 00:36:21,970 well working on the book you John 929 00:36:26,130 --> 00:36:24,100 clauser yeah had me over his house for a 930 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:26,140 really very lovely whole long day and 931 00:36:30,060 --> 00:36:28,450 and you know follow-up interviews often 932 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:30,070 by telephone and email and all the rest 933 00:36:33,540 --> 00:36:31,690 so these folks have really been very 934 00:36:35,580 --> 00:36:33,550 kind and other physicists I write about 935 00:36:37,500 --> 00:36:35,590 as well logic Zurich at Los Alamos 936 00:36:39,150 --> 00:36:37,510 laboratory and others who are not into 937 00:36:40,980 --> 00:36:39,160 the kind of counterculture Simo to play 938 00:36:42,750 --> 00:36:40,990 roles in the book and they also were you 939 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:42,760 know just extremely generous so we have 940 00:36:48,900 --> 00:36:45,970 David Kaiser and the book is called how 941 00:36:50,310 --> 00:36:48,910 the hippie saved physics they've 942 00:36:51,870 --> 00:36:50,320 certainly did a lot of unusual things 943 00:36:54,180 --> 00:36:51,880 will

00:41:32,350 --> 00:41:29,770 Chrissa Brian's the co-host I'm Jean 1043 00:41:36,100 --> 00:41:32,360 Steinberg on the para cast David Kiser 1044 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:36,110 who's a professor at MIT and is talking 1045 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:38,810 about a group of people who hung out 1046 00:41:44,830 --> 00:41:42,050 together in San Francisco the hippies 1047 00:41:48,490 --> 00:41:44,840 how the hippies saved physics now the 1048 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:48,500 title saved physics is it because of the 1049 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:51,050 cutting-edge research they discussed how 1050 00:41:56,110 --> 00:41:54,410 did they save physics I mean I intended 1051 00:41:58,500 --> 00:41:56,120 the title to be actually kind of playful 1052 00:42:00,970 --> 00:41:58,510 a bit ironic kind of tongue-in-cheek 1053 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:00,980 which is I don't think any small group 1054 00:42:04,510 --> 00:42:02,690 of P of individuals you know safe the 1055 00:42:07,450 --> 00:42:04,520 entire discipline oh yes it's not to be 1056 00:42:09,790 --> 00:42:07,460 playful nonetheless I mean this group on 1057 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:09,800 the margins and really as you said down 1058 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:11,330 and out some of them living 1059 00:42:15,580 --> 00:42:13,010 hand-to-mouth incredibly passionate 1060 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:15,590 about their work and they really did you 1061 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:16,850 know stir some pretty amazing 1062 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:18,890 developments all the more amazing given 1063 00:42:22,570 --> 00:42:20,570 their kind of you know professional 1064 00:42:24,010 --> 00:42:22,580 platform at the time and so I don't 1065 00:42:25,810 --> 00:42:24,020 think it saves all of physics but they 1066 00:42:28,090 --> 00:42:25,820 did a bunch of stuff that is that has 1067 00:42:29,260 --> 00:42:28,100 had laughing value to this day and when 1068 00:42:31,990 --> 00:42:29,270 I started piecing those things together 1069 00:42:33,130 --> 00:42:32,000 so there's really a book here and so we 1070 00:42:34,900 --> 00:42:33,140 were starting to talk before you know 1071 00:42:37,180 --> 00:42:34,910 who are these characters people like 1072 00:42:39,100 --> 00:42:37,190 Nick Herbert and JAXA Fadi and Fred Alan 1073 00:42:41,290 --> 00:42:39,110 wolf might be known names known to some 1074 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:41,300 of your listeners Elizabeth Rauscher was 1075 00:42:47,410 --> 00:42:43,850 at the time a graduate student a young 1076 00:42:49,300 --> 00:42:47,420 mom raising her son was just able to go 1077 00:42:50,170 --> 00:42:49,310 back to finish a PhD when her child was 1078 00:42:51,790 --> 00:42:50,180 old enough you know to go to 1079 00:42:54,100 --> 00:42:51,800 kindergarten really you know not easy 1080 00:42:57,010 --> 00:42:54,110 times and she was subject to really 1081 00:42:59,130 --> 00:42:57,020 quite horrible gender discrimination of 1082 00:43:02,200 --> 00:42:59,140 very very few women physics students 1083 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:02,210 even as recently in the 1970s and so she 1084 00:43:07,810 --> 00:43:04,610 had she didn't have an easy time saw 1085 00:43:10,690 --> 00:43:07,820 Paul sir rag who's a amazing fellow he 1086 00:43:12,070 --> 00:43:10,700 was basically a I'm not a conic a member 1087 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:12,080 he finished his undergraduate degree or 1088 00:43:15,130 --> 00:43:13,490 not he did not go on for graduate 1089 00:43:16,750 --> 00:43:15,140 training hardly but he dropped out of 1090 00:43:18,430 --> 00:43:16,760 Berkeley to go pursue theater he was 1091 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:18,440 cast in the original Broadway production 1092 00:43:23,170 --> 00:43:20,570 of hair if you can think back to that 1093 00:43:25,060 --> 00:43:23,180 couldn't we sprout up the cash to meet 1094 00:43:26,350 --> 00:43:25,070 the Actors Equity fee went back to 1095 00:43:28,510 --> 00:43:26,360 Berkeley to study more physics I mean 1096 00:43:29,670 --> 00:43:28,520 these are amazing people and pretty cool 1097 00:43:31,559 --> 00:43:29,680 characters 1098 00:43:33,690 --> 00:43:31,569 Sault all through basically self-study 1099 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:33,700 managed had published several physics 1100 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:35,410 articles and again the most prestigious 1101 00:43:40,260 --> 00:43:37,450 peer-reviewed journals in the land so 1102 00:43:41,730 --> 00:43:40,270 these really people combined an amazing 1103 00:43:43,799 --> 00:43:41,740 passion for quantum theory and 1104 00:43:45,299 --> 00:43:43,809 aesthetics kind of weirdnesses with an 1105 00:43:48,059 --> 00:43:45,309 interest in all the kind of buzzing 1106 00:43:50,130 --> 00:43:48,069 blooming the cult New Age stuff that was 1107 00:43:52,799 --> 00:43:50,140 getting especially a lot of play in San 1108 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:52,809 Francisco in the Bay Area in in the 70s 1109 00:43:56,430 --> 00:43:54,970 and they were playful they were they 1110 00:43:58,829 --> 00:43:56,440 didn't take themselves too seriously at 1111 00:44:01,260 --> 00:43:58,839 times and he was pretty pretty amazing 1112 00:44:03,900 --> 00:44:01,270 punchy well to have have seminars at 1113 00:44:06,299 --> 00:44:03,910 Esalen naked in hot tubs you know that's 1114 00:44:08,430 --> 00:44:06,309 just kind of that's kind of wacky you 1115 00:44:10,530 --> 00:44:08,440 know just listening to me say that but 1116 00:44:12,569 --> 00:44:10,540 one of the things that you really you 1117 00:44:14,609 --> 00:44:12,579 spend a a bit of time in the book 1118 00:44:16,799 --> 00:44:14,619 talking about Nick Herbert and Jax are 1119 00:44:19,290 --> 00:44:16,809 fadis attempted at faster-than-light 1120 00:44:21,329 --> 00:44:19,300 communication and this was fascinating 1121 00:44:23,250 --> 00:44:21,339 to me because basically what they were 1122 00:44:24,900 --> 00:44:23,260 trying to do is take the principles that 1123 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:24,910 Bell laid out in his billion in his 1124 00:44:31,220 --> 00:44:27,130 theorem and take nonlocality and 1125 00:44:33,809 --> 00:44:31,230 actually utilize it as an approach to 1126 00:44:35,370 --> 00:44:33,819 faster-than-light communication let's 1127 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:35,380 talk about that a little bit because it 1128 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:37,930 was an incredibly difficult process that 1129 00:44:41,430 --> 00:44:38,890 they went through and I know Nick 1130 00:44:43,710 --> 00:44:41,440 Herbert spent years attempting to to 1131 00:44:45,450 --> 00:44:43,720 prove his hypothesis and and why don't 1132 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:45,460 you give us a kind of a thumbnail on 1133 00:44:49,589 --> 00:44:47,410 that and maybe where you answer the 1134 00:44:51,990 --> 00:44:49,599 question David consider the phrase it 1135 00:44:54,079 --> 00:44:52,000 came out of Star Trek sub space 1136 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:54,089 communications is that what it was about 1137 00:44:58,380 --> 00:44:56,290 I'm not sure what that would be action 1138 00:45:00,660 --> 00:44:58,390 less sure that was the concept in the 1139 00:45:03,089 --> 00:45:00,670 Star Trek universe in the stripe 1140 00:45:04,740 --> 00:45:03,099 universe in the 1960s how did they 1141 00:45:06,809 --> 00:45:04,750 communicate with people light-years away 1142 00:45:09,150 --> 00:45:06,819 well of course they didn't have to 1143 00:45:11,309 --> 00:45:09,160 explain it it was all subspace they see 1144 00:45:13,140 --> 00:45:11,319 well maybe that was the inspiration I 1145 00:45:14,700 --> 00:45:13,150 don't know but it certainly is it's 1146 00:45:17,099 --> 00:45:14,710 equally strange I mean what these folks 1147 00:45:19,109 --> 00:45:17,109 were up to what we're after and so I 1148 00:45:21,299 --> 00:45:19,119 mean just a just a pause because I can 1149 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:21,309 say faster-than-light communication what 1150 00:45:24,359 --> 00:45:23,650 that really would imply if one could 1151 00:45:26,339 --> 00:45:24,369 make it work 1152 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:26,349 would be receiving a message before it 1153 00:45:30,030 --> 00:45:27,970 was sent we're talking about all the 1154 00:45:31,650 --> 00:45:30,040 causal paradoxes all the kind of 1155 00:45:33,990 --> 00:45:31,660 troubles with relativity that that would 1156 00:45:35,910 --> 00:45:34,000 imply and so what what certain members 1157 00:45:37,349 --> 00:45:35,920 of this Berkeley group especially at the 1158 00:45:39,359 --> 00:45:37,359 time Jack Sarfatti 1159 00:45:42,940 --> 00:45:39,369 Nick Herbert they were really intrigued 1160 00:45:44,980 --> 00:45:42,950 by the possibility which is to say now 1161 00:45:47,140 --> 00:45:44,990 theorem this incredibly beautiful 1162 00:45:49,089 --> 00:45:47,150 results from quantum theory not getting 1163 00:45:50,829 --> 00:45:49,099 much attention yet except from folks 1164 00:45:52,599 --> 00:45:50,839 like like the ones I write about it 1165 00:45:57,460 --> 00:45:52,609 seems watertight in fact the group 1166 00:45:59,049 --> 00:45:57,470 member jonclark2000 tangle in seemed to 1167 00:46:01,450 --> 00:45:59,059 be a real thing it wasn't just you know 1168 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:01,460 flights of fancy and it implied this 1169 00:46:05,559 --> 00:46:03,650 this instantaneous faster-than-light 1170 00:46:07,599 --> 00:46:05,569 connection between two particles and 1171 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:07,609 that seems to butt up against that is 1172 00:46:10,990 --> 00:46:09,650 really to sit poorly with the other 1173 00:46:12,460 --> 00:46:11,000 great pillar of modern physics 1174 00:46:14,410 --> 00:46:12,470 Einstein's relativity which seems to put 1175 00:46:16,720 --> 00:46:14,420 an absolute speed limit an upper limit 1176 00:46:19,030 --> 00:46:16,730 on how fast anything like information or 1177 00:46:20,140 --> 00:46:19,040 force anything else could travel so here 1178 00:46:21,849 --> 00:46:20,150 you have the great here the great 1179 00:46:23,890 --> 00:46:21,859 Smackdown at modern physics right is 1180 00:46:25,870 --> 00:46:23,900 quantum theory going to be incompatible 1181 00:46:28,750 --> 00:46:25,880 with relativity or will there be some 1182 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:28,760 some unusual and kind of hidden union 1183 00:46:32,829 --> 00:46:30,290 between them and that's the kind of 1184 00:46:35,319 --> 00:46:32,839 thing that these folks are after people 1185 00:46:37,450 --> 00:46:35,329 like Nick Herbert and sanjak Sarfati and 1186 00:46:39,940 --> 00:46:37,460 so they came up with increasingly really 1187 00:46:42,039 --> 00:46:39,950 quite ingenious designs so thought 1188 00:46:44,740 --> 00:46:42,049 experiments for devices that maybe 1189 00:46:46,780 --> 00:46:44,750 really could use quantum theory to today 1190 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:46,790 who violate relativity to send messages 1191 00:46:49,660 --> 00:46:48,170 before they could be which I should say 1192 00:46:51,910 --> 00:46:49,670 to receive messages before they were 1193 00:46:53,230 --> 00:46:51,920 sent to go faster than light and so you 1194 00:46:54,940 --> 00:46:53,240 laid in the book I have a launch after 1195 00:46:56,970 --> 00:46:54,950 the kind of cat-and-mouse game as I 1196 00:46:59,589 --> 00:46:56,980 think of it you know the the two of them 1197 00:47:01,900 --> 00:46:59,599 would would come up with what hammer had 1198 00:47:04,420 --> 00:47:01,910 a cool idea they would often get you 1199 00:47:06,549 --> 00:47:04,430 hashed out first in these informal crude 1200 00:47:08,500 --> 00:47:06,559 discussions by the phone has croup and 1201 00:47:10,900 --> 00:47:08,510 they'd put them down on paper Jack even 1202 00:47:12,039 --> 00:47:10,910 filed patent disclosure forms at one 1203 00:47:14,069 --> 00:47:12,049 point thought it can maybe patent a 1204 00:47:16,210 --> 00:47:14,079 device Nick Herbert wrote up his own 1205 00:47:19,299 --> 00:47:16,220 preprints and set them on their way and 1206 00:47:21,190 --> 00:47:19,309 then a small number of other physicists 1207 00:47:22,870 --> 00:47:21,200 all around the world some of them in the 1208 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:22,880 United States some dotted throughout 1209 00:47:26,799 --> 00:47:24,890 Western Europe would get their hands on 1210 00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:26,809 these kind of underground preprints or 1211 00:47:31,240 --> 00:47:28,730 all kinds of interesting way they were 1212 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:31,250 connected and they would think hard 1213 00:47:34,930 --> 00:47:33,290 about them and then some of them would 1214 00:47:36,789 --> 00:47:34,940 find a loopholes they'd find this go to 1215 00:47:39,579 --> 00:47:36,799 no-go theorem why that actually would 1216 00:47:41,470 --> 00:47:39,589 not be able to operate as has claimed 1217 00:47:43,660 --> 00:47:41,480 and this went on for as you said for 1218 00:47:46,900 --> 00:47:43,670 years in fact for you know increasingly 1219 00:47:48,490 --> 00:47:46,910 ingenious patterns are planned and then 1220 00:47:50,109 --> 00:47:48,500 increasingly subtle reasons why they 1221 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:50,119 actually would fall and with each of 1222 00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:52,130 those these were kind of revelations 1223 00:47:55,839 --> 00:47:54,530 that had not been known before about the 1224 00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:55,849 deep structure of quantum theory 1225 00:47:58,540 --> 00:47:56,690 physicists were 1226 00:48:00,790 --> 00:47:58,550 learning about things they didn't even 1227 00:48:03,490 --> 00:48:00,800 know about from in the in the effort to 1228 00:48:06,460 --> 00:48:03,500 kind of debunk or or poke holes in these 1229 00:48:08,140 --> 00:48:06,470 in these cool designs and so and and 1230 00:48:10,150 --> 00:48:08,150 from that's partly where the the saving 1231 00:48:14,050 --> 00:48:10,160 physics and the title comes from out of 1232 00:48:16,690 --> 00:48:14,060 that really quite playful spirited back 1233 00:48:19,390 --> 00:48:16,700 and forth came some absolutely critical 1234 00:48:20,770 --> 00:48:19,400 insights into physics that better assets 1235 00:48:22,870 --> 00:48:20,780 that have paid one of our textbooks 1236 00:48:25,059 --> 00:48:22,880 today they go by names like the no 1237 00:48:27,450 --> 00:48:25,069 cloning theorem the no signaling theorem 1238 00:48:29,950 --> 00:48:27,460 quantum uh that's on amplifiers neither 1239 00:48:31,390 --> 00:48:29,960 foundational results that are now at the 1240 00:48:33,579 --> 00:48:31,400 bedrock of a multi-billion dollar 1241 00:48:35,859 --> 00:48:33,589 industry like quantum encryption and 1242 00:48:38,980 --> 00:48:35,869 they they were discovered by the kind of 1243 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:38,990 constant playful smart prodding and hard 1244 00:48:44,829 --> 00:48:42,650 thinking by people like Jack Sarfati and 1245 00:48:46,780 --> 00:48:44,839 Nick Herbert and then the handful of 1246 00:48:48,579 --> 00:48:46,790 they're kind of interlocked it is people 1247 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:48,589 like whoa jaques Erick and Bill looters 1248 00:48:53,490 --> 00:48:51,290 and Dennis Deeks and others Giancarlo 1249 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:53,500 Girardi so there was this kind of really 1250 00:48:59,680 --> 00:48:56,210 attenuated communication pattern between 1251 00:49:01,359 --> 00:48:59,690 the kind of really hit playful berkeley 1252 00:49:04,210 --> 00:49:01,369 group and a few other kind of 1253 00:49:05,770 --> 00:49:04,220 increasingly mainstream business to work 1254 00:49:08,589 --> 00:49:05,780 or paying attention cutting to the chase 1255 00:49:10,890 --> 00:49:08,599 david is it possible to have what we 1256 00:49:12,910 --> 00:49:10,900 call subspace communications or 1257 00:49:15,550 --> 00:49:12,920 communications at faster-than-light 1258 00:49:17,650 --> 00:49:15,560 speeds so someone who's exploring 1259 00:49:19,690 --> 00:49:17,660 another star system can call home and 1260 00:49:23,170 --> 00:49:19,700 they get an answer right away not fifty 1261 00:49:25,329 --> 00:49:23,180 ya know when 80 calls up so to the best 1262 00:49:27,970 --> 00:49:25,339 of my knowledge the answer is no I think 1263 00:49:29,530 --> 00:49:27,980 most physicists would say no on the 1264 00:49:31,900 --> 00:49:29,540 other hand I'm not going to endorse 1265 00:49:34,210 --> 00:49:31,910 these plans but serious people you know 1266 00:49:36,700 --> 00:49:34,220 have had given serious thought to they 1267 00:49:38,500 --> 00:49:36,710 continue to to that question and so it 1268 00:49:40,690 --> 00:49:38,510 could it wouldn't surprise me if the 1269 00:49:44,770 --> 00:49:40,700 effort to get even even more wacky cool 1270 00:49:46,809 --> 00:49:44,780 ideas today would a not work but BP sort 1271 00:49:50,650 --> 00:49:46,819 of clarifying in the quest much like it 1272 00:49:52,359 --> 00:49:50,660 happened before and so quantum theory if 1273 00:49:54,220 --> 00:49:52,369 as we now understand it seems not to 1274 00:49:55,839 --> 00:49:54,230 allow these things to happen is quantum 1275 00:49:57,819 --> 00:49:55,849 theory the last word you know there are 1276 00:49:59,890 --> 00:49:57,829 all kinds of legitimate reasons to ask 1277 00:50:01,900 --> 00:49:59,900 about extensions beyond quanta theory or 1278 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:01,910 for that matter relativity so given what 1279 00:50:05,230 --> 00:50:03,530 we know now I think the answer really is 1280 00:50:07,210 --> 00:50:05,240 no we can't do it do I think that'll 1281 00:50:09,339 --> 00:50:07,220 never ever ever be possible you know 1282 00:50:11,469 --> 00:50:09,349 that that's a much harder bet 1283 00:50:14,469 --> 00:50:11,479 of course I have to ask then about the 1284 00:50:16,689 --> 00:50:14,479 logical connection warp drive 1285 00:50:20,019 --> 00:50:16,699 hyper drive our as they used to say 1286 00:50:22,150 --> 00:50:20,029 engage so can we engage warp drive 1287 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:22,160 they're talking about that aren't they 1288 00:50:25,839 --> 00:50:24,170 some of the folks are today so as for 1289 00:50:29,769 --> 00:50:25,849 example people like Jackson are Fadi 1290 00:50:32,019 --> 00:50:29,779 have been working very hard on sort of 1291 00:50:34,029 --> 00:50:32,029 we might call them exotic theories of 1292 00:50:35,709 --> 00:50:34,039 space-time or worrying about work or 1293 00:50:38,049 --> 00:50:35,719 even design Stein's general relativity 1294 00:50:41,170 --> 00:50:38,059 allow for exotic states and so on so 1295 00:50:43,059 --> 00:50:41,180 again it's not that I at least haven't 1296 00:50:43,989 --> 00:50:43,069 seen a winning example yet but that 1297 00:50:45,609 --> 00:50:43,999 doesn't mean that they shouldn't be 1298 00:50:47,349 --> 00:50:45,619 working on it and that's that's I think 1299 00:50:48,999 --> 00:50:47,359 the larger point of the book is that we 1300 00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:49,009 need these people we need all kinds of 1301 00:50:53,019 --> 00:50:51,170 people to be pushing and pushing on the 1302 00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:53,029 boundaries what seems what seem to just 1303 00:50:56,949 --> 00:50:55,249 may be barely possible because just in 1304 00:50:58,420 --> 00:50:56,959 clarifying even if it's impossible 1305 00:51:00,099 --> 00:50:58,430 you know we're gonna learn something and 1306 00:51:01,930 --> 00:51:00,109 off we'll learn pretty surprising and 1307 00:51:04,390 --> 00:51:01,940 amazing things but isn't that part of 1308 00:51:07,089 --> 00:51:04,400 doing scientific research that today 1309 00:51:09,039 --> 00:51:07,099 something is impossible but tomorrow we 1310 00:51:09,549 --> 00:51:09,049 find a way to do it that's the way it's 1311 00:51:11,259 --> 00:51:09,559 always been 1312 00:51:13,180 --> 00:51:11,269 hasn't it that's exactly right like one 1313 00:51:14,769 --> 00:51:13,190 of the favored examples that these folks 1314 00:51:18,130 --> 00:51:14,779 used to trot out even back in the day 1315 00:51:21,039 --> 00:51:18,140 was at one point John Wheeler a very 1316 00:51:22,930 --> 00:51:21,049 very prominent eminent physicists who 1317 00:51:25,569 --> 00:51:22,940 was in very frequent contact with the 1318 00:51:28,329 --> 00:51:25,579 Berkeley group and one point he's called 1319 00:51:29,289 --> 00:51:28,339 one of their ideas moonshine and they 1320 00:51:31,059 --> 00:51:29,299 thought that was great cuz that's 1321 00:51:33,189 --> 00:51:31,069 exactly the word he was used before 1322 00:51:34,539 --> 00:51:33,199 World War two to explain to it to 1323 00:51:36,969 --> 00:51:34,549 dismiss the notion of what would become 1324 00:51:38,769 --> 00:51:36,979 an atomic bomb you know Nobel laureate 1325 00:51:40,930 --> 00:51:38,779 nuclear physicist it said that you know 1326 00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:40,940 uranium fission is just moonshine and 1327 00:51:44,799 --> 00:51:43,249 today what we'll drink more moonshine or 1328 00:51:46,749 --> 00:51:44,809 the kool-aid or whatever it is with 1329 00:51:48,939 -->

minutes have 1368 00:53:18,339 --> 00:53:15,679 passed we are in the second hour of the 1369 00:53:21,339 --> 00:53:18,349 para cast with David Kaiser we're taking 1370 00:53:23,589 --> 00:53:21,349 a quantum leap through time and space 1371 00:53:25,599 --> 00:53:23,599 the co-host is Chris O'Brien I'm Jean 1372 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:25,609 Steinberg you're in the para cast so 1373 00:53:30,219 --> 00:53:27,890 looking here at what these hippies 1374 00:53:30,819 --> 00:53:30,229 discovered what were you doing by the 1375 00:53:33,130 --> 00:53:30,829 way 1376 00:53:37,089 --> 00:53:33,140 parenthetically what was David Kiser 1377 00:53:38,679 --> 00:53:37,099 doing in the 1970s mostly watching 1378 00:53:41,799 --> 00:53:38,689 Saturday morning cartoons that was 1379 00:53:43,989 --> 00:53:41,809 pretty young kid so you know I joke and 1380 00:53:45,759 --> 00:53:43,999 in the book I guess and acknowledge the 1381 00:53:47,439 --> 00:53:45,769 fact my memories of the seventies are 1382 00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:47,449 hazy but nah cuz they were clouded you 1383 00:53:52,689 --> 00:53:48,890 know by psyckadelis because I was you 1384 00:53:54,339 --> 00:53:52,699 know like a toddler so I was slowly you 1385 00:53:55,839 --> 00:53:54,349 know trying to learn about the world but 1386 00:53:57,519 --> 00:53:55,849 in a different way than the folks I 1387 00:53:59,410 --> 00:53:57,529 write about so I guess if you remember 1388 00:54:01,989 --> 00:53:59,420 the 70s you're you're either too young 1389 00:54:05,709 --> 00:54:01,999 or had spent too much time in the 1390 00:54:08,289 --> 00:54:05,719 sixties an interesting little side note 1391 00:54:11,109 --> 00:54:08,299 here is Jack Sarfati is gonna be at the 1392 00:54:12,939 --> 00:54:11,119 DARPA NASA stardrive symposium in 1393 00:54:15,249 --> 00:54:12,949 October and I believe he's going to be 1394 00:54:17,439 --> 00:54:15,259 presenting some sort of paper addressing 1395 00:54:20,859 --> 00:54:17,449 his concept of negative energy powered 1396 00:54:23,229 --> 00:54:20,869 starships so he's still mr. outrageous 1397 00:54:25,689 --> 00:54:23,239 he's still out there pushing the 1398 00:54:29,890 --> 00:54:25,699 envelope so kind of keep your keep your 1399 00:54:31,630 --> 00:54:29,900 eyes open listeners for word on his 1400 00:54:33,669 --> 00:54:31,640 paper and if we can get him on the show 1401 00:54:35,769 --> 00:54:33,679 he's agreed to get on will maybe get 1402 00:54:38,049 --> 00:54:35,779 into that a little bit the whole concept 1403 00:54:39,999 --> 00:54:38,059 of negative energy to me I mean you know 1404 00:54:41,769 --> 00:54:40,009 you yes your average new agent would 1405 00:54:45,519 --> 00:54:41,779 cringe thinking oh my god negative 1406 00:54:47,469 --> 00:54:45,529 energy powering the starship yeah so by 1407 00:54:50,890 --> 00:54:47,479 the way is that antimatter negative any 1408 00:54:55,209 --> 00:54:50,900 good no it's not it's it's different we 1409 00:55:00,099 --> 00:54:55,219 can't we can't build dilithium crystals 1410 00:55:01,900 --> 00:55:00,109 I'm so sad metamaterials and you says 1411 00:55:04,179 --> 00:55:01,910 I'm here with Andrew Paul Freeman who is 1412 00:55:06,519 --> 00:55:04,189 a software engineer for many years at 1413 00:55:08,169 --> 00:55:06,529 Cisco he was one of those rare 1414 00:55:10,660 --> 00:55:08,179 individuals that was actually accepted 1415 00:55:14,189 --> 00:55:10,670 into Oxford University when he was 16 so 1416 00:55:16,390 --> 00:55:14,199 he's he's a bright guy and he's busy 1417 00:55:17,470 --> 00:55:16,400 writing down up a couple of questions 1418 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:17,480 and in comments 1419 00:55:22,599 --> 00:55:20,450 as we as he's listening to us do the 1420 00:55:23,890 --> 00:55:22,609 show here we should bring him on for a 1421 00:55:25,870 --> 00:55:23,900 few minutes I'll see if I could twist 1422 00:55:28,420 --> 00:55:25,880 his arm and get him on here but like 1423 00:55:31,510 --> 00:55:28,430 he's been working for 12 over 12 years 1424 00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:31,520 with on the Woodward effect are are you 1425 00:55:36,599 --> 00:55:33,410 familiar with that at all David 1426 00:55:40,270 --> 00:55:36,609 the maquis and general relativity and 1427 00:55:43,180 --> 00:55:40,280 Mayer melissa's see was it's a BB our 1428 00:55:44,620 --> 00:55:43,190 number one choice so I'm familiar with 1429 00:55:46,660 --> 00:55:44,630 some of the work on machs principle and 1430 00:55:49,750 --> 00:55:46,670 relativity and some efforts into uh to 1431 00:55:51,670 --> 00:55:49,760 explain the origin of inertia well I'm 1432 00:55:53,530 --> 00:55:51,680 not familiar with with with the things 1433 00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:53,540 you mentioned just now though yeah so 1434 00:55:57,550 --> 00:55:55,490 what's what words first name and yeah 1435 00:56:00,070 --> 00:55:57,560 James T Woodward at Cal State Fullerton 1436 00:56:01,980 --> 00:56:00,080 and who's been working with him really 1437 00:56:04,990 --> 00:56:01,990 closely for quite a number of years on 1438 00:56:07,720 --> 00:56:05,000 it's called frictionless propulsion I 1439 00:56:11,050 --> 00:56:07,730 think propellant 'list propulsion so 1440 00:56:12,970 --> 00:56:11,060 maybe Woodward and Sarfati might compare 1441 00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:12,980 notes at one time but let's get back to 1442 00:56:17,859 --> 00:56:15,410 to our physics group and and we were 1443 00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:17,869 talking about Nick Herbert's multi-year 1444 00:56:22,180 --> 00:56:20,210 attempt and with Sarfaraz help in the 1445 00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:22,190 physics groups helped to come up with a 1446 00:56:26,349 --> 00:56:24,170 design for faster-than-light 1447 00:56:28,030 --> 00:56:26,359 communication which ultimately was shot 1448 00:56:30,580 --> 00:56:28,040 down even though he did get a paper 1449 00:56:33,130 --> 00:56:30,590 published so if I remember correctly it 1450 00:56:36,420 --> 00:56:33,140 was as you alluded to it was sort of 1451 00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:36,430 proven to not be a workable a workable 1452 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:38,690 hypothesis what what was some of the 1453 00:56:42,609 --> 00:56:40,490 other early experiments that these guys 1454 00:56:45,070 --> 00:56:42,619 were doing before we had of course the 1455 00:56:46,599 --> 00:56:45,080 famous success of the Dow physics and 1456 00:56:48,220 --> 00:56:46,609 the dancing Willy masters from two of 1457 00:56:50,980 --> 00:56:48,230 the members of the group I want you to 1458 00:56:52,810 --> 00:56:50,990 kind of give us another sense of what 1459 00:56:56,380 --> 00:56:52,820 some of the other areas that they were 1460 00:56:58,359 --> 00:56:56,390 working in you know one device that you 1461 00:57:00,220 --> 00:56:58,369 really did build Nick Herbert built with 1462 00:57:03,460 --> 00:57:00,230 another friend and colleague they call 1463 00:57:05,410 --> 00:57:03,470 the metaphase typewriter it was just a 1464 00:57:07,540 --> 00:57:05,420 modern example of the kind of 1465 00:57:10,450 --> 00:57:07,550 playfulness built on some real earnest 1466 00:57:13,359 --> 00:57:10,460 serious thinking and it's you know look 1467 00:57:14,770 --> 00:57:13,369 at the light to learn about so part of 1468 00:57:16,180 --> 00:57:14,780 what really intrigued these members of 1469 00:57:17,859 --> 00:57:16,190 group was this question of consciousness 1470 00:57:20,260 --> 00:57:17,869 that's a lot of what they were after 1471 00:57:22,090 --> 00:57:20,270 and one question particular was whether 1472 00:57:24,310 --> 00:57:22,100 consciousness could have an effect on 1473 00:57:26,710 --> 00:57:24,320 sort of steering quantum events that's 1474 00:57:29,230 --> 00:57:26,720 to say and that goes back in some sense 1475 00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:29,240 at least inspired by some ideas the 1476 00:57:33,670 --> 00:57:31,010 speculations by Nobel laureate 1477 00:57:35,710 --> 00:57:33,680 like Eugene Wigner which again and and 1478 00:57:37,210 --> 00:57:35,720 john mueller which has not really been 1479 00:57:39,130 --> 00:57:37,220 getting much play in the mainstream 1480 00:57:40,390 --> 00:57:39,140 physics world but these folks really 1481 00:57:42,700 --> 00:57:40,400 wrestled with them they picked up on 1482 00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:42,710 them and the idea was could could human 1483 00:57:46,450 --> 00:57:43,850 consciousness or in maybe any 1484 00:57:48,030 --> 00:57:46,460 consciousness kind of steer couldn't 1485 00:57:50,410 --> 00:57:48,040 alter the underlying probability 1486 00:57:53,770 --> 00:57:50,420 distribution for seemingly random 1487 00:57:55,660 --> 00:57:53,780 quantum events and victor had ideas to 1488 00:57:58,000 --> 00:57:55,670 suggest that maybe consciousness is what 1489 00:57:59,650 --> 00:57:58,010 he would have said collapses the quantum 1490 00:58:01,900 --> 00:57:59,660 wave function or it plays some crucial 1491 00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:01,910 role in quantum measurement and that was 1492 00:58:06,100 --> 00:58:04,010 you know it's it's a legitimate thing to 1493 00:58:08,650 --> 00:58:06,110 be asking about and these folks were 1494 00:58:10,450 --> 00:58:08,660 curious about that and so nick realized 1495 00:58:12,550 --> 00:58:10,460 if it's really consciousness and not say 1496 00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:12,560 brain chemistry in a physical fleshy 1497 00:58:15,940 --> 00:58:14,570 brain then it needn't be restricted to 1498 00:58:17,410 --> 00:58:15,950 the person sitting next to you what if 1499 00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:17,420 it could be spirits you know from the 1500 00:58:23,380 --> 00:58:19,610 other side and so on so basically these 1501 00:58:26,380 --> 00:58:23,390 guys wired up a pretty cool device in 1502 00:58:28,300 --> 00:58:26,390 the 1970s for a kind of 1870s new 1503 00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:28,310 phenomenon to worry about spiritualism 1504 00:58:33,430 --> 00:58:31,250 or getting using a kind of spirit medium 1505 00:58:35,380 --> 00:58:33,440 to hear from from spirits up from beyond 1506 00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:35,390 so they did this and they did it many 1507 00:58:39,790 --> 00:58:37,130 times and among my favorite examples 1508 00:58:42,190 --> 00:58:39,800 they had a big party on the centennial 1509 00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:42,200 of the birth of Harry Houdini famous 1510 00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:43,010 magician 1511 00:58:47,170 --> 00:58:44,810 and they wanted to see if Houdini's 1512 00:58:48,930 --> 00:58:47,180 spirit could come how the consciousness 1513 00:58:51,250 --> 00:58:48,940 could could steer the kind of 1514 00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:51,260 probabilities for quantum events in 1515 00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:53,570 particular if it's say like the the 1516 00:58:58,900 --> 00:58:56,570 radioactive decay of a valium sample so 1517 00:59:01,480 --> 00:58:58,910 the each decay should be a random event 1518 00:59:03,910 --> 00:59:01,490 but with an average half-life and so the 1519 00:59:06,250 --> 00:59:03,920 question was could a consciousness like 1520 00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:06,260 say the spirit of Harry Houdini start 1521 00:59:10,690 --> 00:59:07,970 you know sort of speeding up or slowing 1522 00:59:13,300 --> 00:59:10,700 down changing from the average 1523 00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:13,310 likelihood a given radioactive decay and 1524 00:59:16,930 --> 00:59:14,690 if so could that be used to sort of 1525 00:59:18,820 --> 00:59:16,940 rat-tat-tat out like a Morse code 1526 00:59:21,550 --> 00:59:18,830 message so they hooked this detector 1527 00:59:24,820 --> 00:59:21,560 geiger counter up to a teletype machine 1528 00:59:26,860 --> 00:59:24,830 and they got a paper from the National 1529 00:59:28,780 --> 00:59:26,870 Security Agency on the letter 1530 00:59:30,550 --> 00:59:28,790 frequencies in the English language how 1531 00:59:32,380 --> 00:59:30,560 common is letter e how often does it 1532 00:59:34,030 --> 00:59:32,390 appear with the letter D and so on and 1533 00:59:36,250 --> 00:59:34,040 so they want to do really very carefully 1534 00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:36,260 in scientifically and they wondered you 1535 00:59:39,820 --> 00:59:38,090 know could when they hooked up the 1536 00:59:42,130 --> 00:59:39,830 Geiger counter to the teletype but they 1537 00:59:44,050 --> 00:59:42,140 only get random noise just jumbles of 1538 00:59:44,740 --> 00:59:44,060 letters or did the intelligible messages 1539 00:59:46,300 --> 00:59:44,750 in there 1540 00:59:47,980 --> 00:59:46,310 and they called that the metaphase type 1541 00:59:51,130 --> 00:59:47,990 interest so that's an example of among 1542 00:59:52,359 --> 00:59:51,140 many the way these folks were as Nick I 1543 00:59:53,859 --> 00:59:52,369 think later called who was at the very 1544 00:59:56,620 --> 00:59:53,869 least a good excuse for a really good 1545 00:59:58,630 --> 00:59:56,630 party and and there was a way to 1546 01:00:00,370 --> 00:59:58,640 celebrate Harry Houdini think hard about 1547 01:00:03,190 --> 01:00:00,380 quantum theory in consciousness and has 1548 01:00:04,630 --> 01:00:03,200 you know have a good time so they were 1549 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:04,640 you know that's I think that captures 1550 01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:05,930 the spirit of the group it but this was 1551 01:00:09,849 --> 01:00:07,490 not a throwaway and they were worried 1552 01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:09,859 about alternative explanations for the 1553 01:00:12,849 --> 01:00:11,090 measurement problem in quantum theory 1554 01:00:15,130 --> 01:00:12,859 which is like you know in their manes a 1555 01:00:17,140 --> 01:00:15,140 huge big deal problem even for for 1556 01:00:19,510 --> 01:00:17,150 mainstream physicists and they wanted to 1557 01:00:21,820 --> 01:00:19,520 sort of show highlights just how weird 1558 01:00:23,980 --> 01:00:21,830 the quantum universe really is within a 1559 01:00:26,580 --> 01:00:23,990 very playful very evocative way well 1560 01:00:29,050 --> 01:00:26,590 what did what a Houdini have to say 1561 01:00:30,940 --> 01:00:29,060 opinions different so it's all Paul 1562 01:00:33,099 --> 01:00:30,950 serac and I mentioned earlier wrote a 1563 01:00:34,810 --> 01:00:33,109 really lovely kind of fictionalized 1564 01:00:36,970 --> 01:00:34,820 account a short story about the 1565 01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:36,980 metaphase typewriter it appeared in a 1566 01:00:42,099 --> 01:00:40,010 magazine called spit in the ocean which 1567 01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:42,109 was at a time edited by Ken K Z's and 1568 01:00:44,890 --> 01:00:42,890 Merry Pranksters 1569 01:00:46,750 --> 01:00:44,900 is it a special issue edited by Timothy 1570 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:46,760 Leary and so in Sawle paul's 1571 01:00:50,890 --> 01:00:49,490 fictionalized account they see this 1572 01:00:53,230 --> 01:00:50,900 string of letters to the fact that says 1573 01:00:55,510 --> 01:00:53,240 basically and in an infinite time as if 1574 01:00:57,370 --> 01:00:55,520 Harry Houdini was too frustrated it was 1575 01:00:59,170 --> 01:00:57,380 this was too slow and advice to get his 1576 01:01:00,790 --> 01:00:59,180 thoughts across it's like when I try to 1577 01:01:02,620 --> 01:01:00,800 text on my cell phone taking an hour and 1578 01:01:05,109 --> 01:01:02,630 a half so I guess they'd be in the story 1579 01:01:06,370 --> 01:01:05,119 the Houdini's spirit was saying I'd love 1580 01:01:08,410 --> 01:01:06,380 to chat with you fellows but isn't gonna 1581 01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:08,420 take too long that was fictionalized 1582 01:01:12,910 --> 01:01:09,890 however some people who were there 1583 01:01:14,950 --> 01:01:12,920 claimed that there was a string of 1584 01:01:16,300 --> 01:01:14,960 characters that that was recognizable in 1585 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:16,310 the mystery you're gonna kind of random 1586 01:01:20,829 --> 01:01:19,130 noise or a jumble of letters and that 1587 01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:20,839 was the letters that would spell out by 1588 01:01:26,950 --> 01:01:24,290 young byj un Jeanne and some claim that 1589 01:01:29,140 --> 01:01:26,960 was just as a lab tech was walking by 1590 01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:29,150 with a copy of the portable young you 1591 01:01:33,010 --> 01:01:31,250 know in her inner pocket so you know 1592 01:01:35,260 --> 01:01:33,020 some of them will say look you see how 1593 01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:35,270 does we say you know monkeys on 1594 01:01:38,500 --> 01:01:36,650 typewriters little type out Shakespeare 1595 01:01:39,700 --> 01:01:38,510 that's just a random fluctuation but you 1596 01:01:42,099 --> 01:01:39,710 know at the very least they were they 1597 01:01:43,810 --> 01:01:42,109 were never explore the foundations of 1598 01:01:44,500 --> 01:01:43,820 quantum theory and you know it like I'd 1599 01:01:46,750 --> 01:01:44,510 have a good time 1600 01:01:48,609 --> 01:01:46,760 one question I have here which is 1601 01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:48,619 something we can explore as we continue 1602 01:01:52,900 --> 01:01:50,930 with this episode and we are going to 1603 01:01:55,230 --> 01:01:52,910 have to our break very shortly the 1604 01:01:58,229 --> 01:01:55,240 question I have here is for regular 1605 01:02:01,239 --> 01:01:58,239 normal people what 1606 01:02:02,979 --> 01:02:01,249 technology did these people develop in 1607 01:02:04,690 --> 01:02:02,989 the seventies that we could recognize 1608 01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:04,700 today I'm not talking necessarily about 1609 01:02:10,479 --> 01:02:07,130 quantum entanglements but things that 1610 01:02:12,460 --> 01:02:10,489 people to buy in the store anything well 1611 01:02:13,870 --> 01:02:12,470 sure and one technology was the popular 1612 01:02:15,450 --> 01:02:13,880 book I mean some of these the 1613 01:02:17,700 --> 01:02:15,460 best-selling books of that generation 1614 01:02:19,930 --> 01:02:17,710 were written by members of that group 1615 01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:19,940 like the data physics and I mentioned 1616 01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:22,130 like the dancing woolly masters by Gary 1617 01:02:26,890 --> 01:02:24,890 Zhukov Jack Sarfatti and Fred Alan wolf 1618 01:02:28,450 --> 01:02:26,900 Row one with their friends Bob Tobin 1619 01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:28,460 they really helped jumpstart the whole 1620 01:02:32,140 --> 01:02:31,130 genre called space ton and beyond and in 1621 01:02:33,969 --> 01:02:32,150 fact there were you know about a dozen 1622 01:02:35,140 --> 01:02:33,979 of these books that came out so that's 1623 01:02:37,299 --> 01:02:35,150 one way that they were getting the 1624 01:02:38,859 --> 01:02:37,309 message out literally into the hands of 1625 01:02:41,019 --> 01:02:38,869 soon to be

01:07:41,550 --> 01:07:37,060 professor over at MIT we're talking 1734 01:07:44,310 --> 01:07:41,560 about those wacky physicists hippie type 1735 01:07:46,740 --> 01:07:44,320 people from the 70s with gene and Chris 1736 01:07:48,300 --> 01:07:46,750 and the para casts of the other part of 1737 01:07:50,700 --> 01:07:48,310 the question is of course they came out 1738 01:07:52,860 --> 01:07:50,710 with books best-selling books what about 1739 01:07:55,140 --> 01:07:52,870 consumer electronics other products that 1740 01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:55,150 we could buy in the store is anything 1741 01:07:58,560 --> 01:07:56,650 they developed from all this research 1742 01:07:59,910 --> 01:07:58,570 you none that I know of the main one 1743 01:08:02,340 --> 01:07:59,920 like I said that a trace of the book is 1744 01:08:04,950 --> 01:08:02,350 it's helping to lay the theoretical 1745 01:08:06,330 --> 01:08:04,960 groundwork for these very very fancy 1746 01:08:08,130 --> 01:08:06,340 devices today like quantum encryption 1747 01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:08,140 but those are the ones that I know of I 1748 01:08:11,940 --> 01:08:09,730 remember most these members of the group 1749 01:08:13,650 --> 01:08:11,950 were theoretical physicists how they 1750 01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:13,660 worked with some laser physicists like 1751 01:08:17,550 --> 01:08:16,210 how boots off and Russell Targ but for 1752 01:08:19,079 --> 01:08:17,560 the most part they were theorists who 1753 01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:19,089 worried about the kind of structure the 1754 01:08:22,140 --> 01:08:20,530 equations and and what it might mean 1755 01:08:24,300 --> 01:08:22,150 about the universe and so they were 1756 01:08:26,550 --> 01:08:24,310 their thoughts were going more to the we 1757 01:08:28,620 --> 01:08:26,560 might say ethereal realm you know well I 1758 01:08:29,930 --> 01:08:28,630 have a question here now no we're 1759 01:08:31,950 --> 01:08:29,940 talking about their influence and 1760 01:08:34,410 --> 01:08:31,960 impossible developments that were 1761 01:08:36,390 --> 01:08:34,420 inspired by these guys and who mentioned 1762 01:08:39,410 --> 01:08:36,400 that the perhaps a premier quantum 1763 01:08:42,329 --> 01:08:39,420 mechanics researcher is Anton Zeilinger 1764 01:08:44,070 --> 01:08:42,339 who's an Austrian physicist to what 1765 01:08:47,550 --> 01:08:44,080 extent do you think you know modern 1766 01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:47,560 carnet cutting-edge physicists or have 1767 01:08:52,260 --> 01:08:50,170 work influenced by these guys and do we 1768 01:08:53,970 --> 01:08:52,270 see some sort of influence now in the 1769 01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:53,980 modern physics world did they help 1770 01:08:57,690 --> 01:08:55,810 loosen up the field a little bit get 1771 01:08:59,490 --> 01:08:57,700 people thinking more creatively or what 1772 01:09:01,769 --> 01:08:59,500 what is their legacy really now in 1773 01:09:04,049 --> 01:09:01,779 modern physics so I think in 1774 01:09:06,660 --> 01:09:04,059 sort of tight focus they do have a 1775 01:09:07,890 --> 01:09:06,670 legacy in these very specific results on 1776 01:09:09,660 --> 01:09:07,900 that I mentioned before like the 1777 01:09:11,519 --> 01:09:09,670 no-cloning theorem no signalling and 1778 01:09:13,169 --> 01:09:11,529 quantum limits to amplifiers and those 1779 01:09:14,910 --> 01:09:13,179 are technical developments that really 1780 01:09:17,279 --> 01:09:14,920 are kind of bedrock for a whole 1781 01:09:18,450 --> 01:09:17,289 flourishing field today and again it's 1782 01:09:20,279 --> 01:09:18,460 not that the folks I write about 1783 01:09:22,709 --> 01:09:20,289 uniquely found those things but they 1784 01:09:25,470 --> 01:09:22,719 really had a major hand in pushing that 1785 01:09:27,809 --> 01:09:25,480 whole program forward and often you're 1786 01:09:29,669 --> 01:09:27,819 designing the the devices in the 1787 01:09:31,079 --> 01:09:29,679 debunking of which these insights would 1788 01:09:32,819 --> 01:09:31,089 appear so they were there clearly there 1789 01:09:33,899 --> 01:09:32,829 and those I think are you know they're 1790 01:09:35,370 --> 01:09:33,909 they're incredibly important 1791 01:09:36,870 --> 01:09:35,380 developments that that we just didn't 1792 01:09:38,370 --> 01:09:36,880 know about before these folks got in the 1793 01:09:40,319 --> 01:09:38,380 game and then if we zoom out a little 1794 01:09:42,299 --> 01:09:40,329 bit you know these folks were the early 1795 01:09:43,649 --> 01:09:42,309 adopters on Bell's Theorem more broadly 1796 01:09:46,379 --> 01:09:43,659 I mean they were the ones who said 1797 01:09:48,089 --> 01:09:46,389 before long before this is at all common 1798 01:09:50,999 --> 01:09:48,099 for physicists even paying attention to 1799 01:09:53,249 --> 01:09:51,009 the quantum entanglement is baffling and 1800 01:09:54,839 --> 01:09:53,259 probably really really important they as 1801 01:09:57,450 --> 01:09:54,849 I write in the book they rescued that 1802 01:09:59,279 --> 01:09:57,460 topic from a decade of obscurity they 1803 01:10:00,810 --> 01:09:59,289 forced it on the agenda for at least a 1804 01:10:02,459 --> 01:10:00,820 few other physicists in addition to 1805 01:10:04,799 --> 01:10:02,469 their own and so they helped to kind of 1806 01:10:06,450 --> 01:10:04,809 get it back into the mainstream or or or 1807 01:10:08,220 --> 01:10:06,460 get a few people really excited about it 1808 01:10:09,750 --> 01:10:08,230 and then if we zoom out further yeah 1809 01:10:12,930 --> 01:10:09,760 they wrote those books like I mentioned 1810 01:10:14,850 --> 01:10:12,940 they really inspired a whole genre of 1811 01:10:16,529 --> 01:10:14,860 popular physics writing and getting a 1812 01:10:18,629 --> 01:10:16,539 lot of this stuff out into into the 1813 01:10:20,310 --> 01:10:18,639 public some of which in fact this really 1814 01:10:22,799 --> 01:10:20,320 surprised me actually some which got 1815 01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:22,809 used in formal physics classes in the 1816 01:10:28,319 --> 01:10:26,170 classroom as a kind of proxy textbook 1817 01:10:29,879 --> 01:10:28,329 before the regular old textbooks caught 1818 01:10:31,049 --> 01:10:29,889 up with the new stuff about quantum 1819 01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:31,059 theory like Bell's Theorem 1820 01:10:34,410 --> 01:10:32,650 it looks like the lucky ones we 1821 01:10:36,899 --> 01:10:34,420 mentioned written by these folks or 1822 01:10:38,549 --> 01:10:36,909 formal lesson plans that were published 1823 01:10:40,379 --> 01:10:38,559 inspired by those books new by 1824 01:10:42,859 --> 01:10:40,389 physicists who were we're talking with 1825 01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:42,869 them pretty regularly they had a kind of 1826 01:10:47,370 --> 01:10:45,130 direct pedagogical impact in the 1827 01:10:49,529 --> 01:10:47,380 classroom that you know that it was 1828 01:10:51,209 --> 01:10:49,539 important in the era before these sort 1829 01:10:53,310 --> 01:10:51,219 of slow-moving textbooks could catch up 1830 01:10:54,839 --> 01:10:53,320 so if we consider the zoom out from a 1831 01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:54,849 tight focus to get broader and broader 1832 01:10:58,109 --> 01:10:56,650 and again it's not like these folks 1833 01:11:00,120 --> 01:10:58,119 single-handedly changed the world out of 1834 01:11:01,379 --> 01:11:00,130 the gate a small group ever does but 1835 01:11:02,939 --> 01:11:01,389 they were they were really having an 1836 01:11:04,620 --> 01:11:02,949 impact they have a legacy that if we 1837 01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:04,630 know where to look for it we can start 1838 01:11:07,709 --> 01:11:06,010 seeing some of that signs of it even 1839 01:11:09,359 --> 01:11:07,719 today now one of the topics often 1840 01:11:12,750 --> 01:11:09,369 discussed when we talk about the word 1841 01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:12,760 quantum is quantum computing now is this 1842 01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:14,650 such a thing possible we're all living 1843 01:11:16,700 --> 01:11:14,850 in the 1844 01:11:19,700 --> 01:11:16,710 world of ones and zeroes the digital 1845 01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:19,710 world is this really the next stage of 1846 01:11:23,990 --> 01:11:22,410 computing I you know I have a feeling it 1847 01:11:25,550 --> 01:11:24,000 really is it's not the area of physics 1848 01:11:26,990 --> 01:11:25,560 that I work indirectly I have a number 1849 01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:27,000 of colleagues who do they're really 1850 01:11:31,820 --> 01:11:30,330 smart and they make a good case and I 1851 01:11:34,190 --> 01:11:31,830 think there is I mean there are working 1852 01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:34,200 prototypes of sort of low capacity 1853 01:11:38,180 --> 01:11:36,210 compared to and it was laptop on their 1854 01:11:40,010 --> 01:11:38,190 desktop right now an attack but these 1855 01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:40,020 things are taking advantage of this 1856 01:11:43,910 --> 01:11:41,850 fundamental quantum property things like 1857 01:11:45,710 --> 01:11:43,920 superposition or indeed entanglement and 1858 01:11:47,630 --> 01:11:45,720 Bell's Theorem that are being you know 1859 01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:47,640 literally wired in from the start and 1860 01:11:50,900 --> 01:11:49,410 these folks can keep these things you 1861 01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:50,910 know they have to put him in cryogenic 1862 01:11:54,740 --> 01:11:52,410 coolers after treatment was great 1863 01:11:56,450 --> 01:11:54,750 nimbleness so far but nonetheless 1864 01:11:57,740 --> 01:11:56,460 they've built a few of these things as 1865 01:11:59,510 --> 01:11:57,750 well as worked out incredibly 1866 01:12:01,520 --> 01:11:59,520 complicated and sophisticated 1867 01:12:03,260 --> 01:12:01,530 you know the theoretical descriptions 1868 01:12:05,510 --> 01:12:03,270 it's not something that I can buy at the 1869 01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:05,520 Apple store next year not yet no it's 1870 01:12:10,670 --> 01:12:07,170 not it's not going to be in the iPhone 5 1871 01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:10,680 are these things practical that we see 1872 01:12:14,810 --> 01:12:12,690 that 5 10 years from now if we can 1873 01:12:16,910 --> 01:12:14,820 figure how to get a handle on it and we 1874 01:12:19,130 --> 01:12:16,920 don't have to live in cyber genic 1875 01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:19,140 laboratories and stuff that we can take 1876 01:12:24,050 --> 01:12:21,330 this stuff and actually use it in 1877 01:12:25,820 --> 01:12:24,060 products for Space Exploration and then 1878 01:12:27,260 --> 01:12:25,830 ultimately the consumer world yeah 1879 01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:27,270 that's definitely the intention and so 1880 01:12:31,130 --> 01:12:29,610 again it's I'm not an expert on the 1881 01:12:32,750 --> 01:12:31,140 nitty-gritty of it these days but I know 1882 01:12:34,220 --> 01:12:32,760 that's that's certainly what's driving a 1883 01:12:36,590 --> 01:12:34,230 lot of his excitement whether it's gonna 1884 01:12:38,450 --> 01:12:36,600 be 10 years from now or 20 or 50 I think 1885 01:12:39,950 --> 01:12:38,460 it's certainly you know odds are good 1886 01:12:41,480 --> 01:12:39,960 it's gonna be coming well what direction 1887 01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:41,490 is quantum physics going in right now 1888 01:12:46,130 --> 01:12:44,010 what are the exciting papers that are 1889 01:12:48,230 --> 01:12:46,140 being you know published and what's 1890 01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:48,240 what's the buzz going around the field 1891 01:12:51,440 --> 01:12:50,010 right now I think there's a lot I mean 1892 01:12:53,270 --> 01:12:51,450 by now quantum physics is central to 1893 01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:53,280 virtually everything that physicists 1894 01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:54,570 want to work on so there are different 1895 01:12:58,400 --> 01:12:56,370 aspects of quantum theory which shows up 1896 01:13:00,080 --> 01:12:58,410 as relevant in different ways so whether 1897 01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:00,090 it's nanotechnology which is actually 1898 01:13:04,010 --> 01:13:01,650 pushing a single atoms around that's 1899 01:13:06,140 --> 01:13:04,020 clearly deeply involved in quantum 1900 01:13:07,910 --> 01:13:06,150 theory which was the subject Coruscant 1901 01:13:09,860 --> 01:13:07,920 areas first designed for understanding 1902 01:13:12,260 --> 01:13:09,870 single atoms or just a small number of 1903 01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:12,270 atoms so the entire you know humongous 1904 01:13:15,500 --> 01:13:14,130 elephant of the rules nanotech it's 1905 01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:15,510 basically putting quantum theory to work 1906 01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:17,370 in one way and then go from there all 1907 01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:19,050 the way to the opposite scale and look 1908 01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:21,090 at quantum cosmology closer to an area I 1909 01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:22,650 actually work in it physics 1910 01:13:25,670 --> 01:13:23,850 you're the excitement about string 1911 01:13:27,440 --> 01:13:25,680 theory or trying to quantize general 1912 01:13:28,279 --> 01:13:27,450 relativity the excitement about the 1913 01:13:30,529 --> 01:13:28,289 universe and 1914 01:13:32,859 --> 01:13:30,539 multiverse are we one bubble among an 1915 01:13:35,599 --> 01:13:32,869 infinitude those are all making you know 1916 01:13:36,529 --> 01:13:35,609 taking advantage of weird properties of 1917 01:13:37,399 --> 01:13:36,539 quantum theory sort of in a different 1918 01:13:39,199 --> 01:13:37,409 direction 1919 01:13:41,239 --> 01:13:39,209 so I think pretty much anywhere you look 1920 01:13:43,250 --> 01:13:41,249 these days quantities can be incredibly 1921 01:13:45,289 --> 01:13:43,260 central and and it's sort of inherent 1922 01:13:48,919 --> 01:13:45,299 wackiness it's coming to light well we 1923 01:13:51,020 --> 01:13:48,929 know in ufology for instance we do we do 1924 01:13:53,059 --> 01:13:51,030 cover that subject quite extensively you 1925 01:13:55,819 --> 01:13:53,069 know on our show one of the things that 1926 01:13:58,069 --> 01:13:55,829 you occasionally walk here is someone 1927 01:13:59,569 --> 01:13:58,079 that does not buy in lock stock and 1928 01:14:01,819 --> 01:13:59,579 barrel into an extraterrestrial 1929 01:14:03,979 --> 01:14:01,829 hypothesis for you know what's behind 1930 01:14:06,909 --> 01:14:03,989 the UFO phenomenon and you hear 1931 01:14:09,889 --> 01:14:06,919 buzzwords like that they're 1932 01:14:12,679 --> 01:14:09,899 multi-dimensional is based on our 1933 01:14:14,329 --> 01:14:12,689 knowledge right now which is probably in 1934 01:14:16,339 --> 01:14:14,339 a dimensional sense pretty limited but 1935 01:14:19,579 --> 01:14:16,349 do you think that there's a possibility 1936 01:14:21,409 --> 01:14:19,589 that we may be visited by the denizens 1937 01:14:23,719 --> 01:14:21,419 of some other dimension is that is that 1938 01:14:25,009 --> 01:14:23,729 a possibility you as a scientist you 1939 01:14:26,599 --> 01:14:25,019 know I wouldn't discount her as a 1940 01:14:28,189 --> 01:14:26,609 possibility I also wouldn't rate it has 1941 01:14:29,959 --> 01:14:28,199 a very high possibility but that's just 1942 01:14:32,719 --> 01:14:29,969 a good very well be living here my own 1943 01:14:34,339 --> 01:14:32,729 limited imagination or knowledge so we 1944 01:14:36,049 --> 01:14:34,349 could we could unpack that I think about 1945 01:14:37,849 --> 01:14:36,059 doing like a Drake Equation for the 1946 01:14:39,259 --> 01:14:37,859 version you just described what's the 1947 01:14:41,989 --> 01:14:39,269 likelihood that the universe that we 1948 01:14:43,579 --> 01:14:41,999 live in has extra spatial dimensions you 1949 01:14:45,619 --> 01:14:43,589 have the likelihood of that is actually 1950 01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:45,629 I was a higher better reason to believe 1951 01:14:48,979 --> 01:14:47,489 that now than even you know 20 or 30 1952 01:14:50,629 --> 01:14:48,989 years ago so that's a pretty big change 1953 01:14:52,219 --> 01:14:50,639 or at least better reasons to worry 1954 01:14:53,809 --> 01:14:52,229 about it to think of that it has very 1955 01:14:56,239 --> 01:14:53,819 specific motivations that put it on the 1956 01:14:57,709 --> 01:14:56,249 table now and so if that increases the 1957 01:14:59,270 --> 01:14:57,719 overall likelihood for the rest of your 1958 01:15:00,829 --> 01:14:59,280 scenario you know that's it that's sort 1959 01:15:03,020 --> 01:15:00,839 of how the science has to it seems to me 1960 01:15:05,569 --> 01:15:03,030 what would go along and and more 1961 01:15:08,719 --> 01:15:05,579 importantly if there are ways to to get 1962 01:15:10,339 --> 01:15:08,729 experimental observational input on are 1963 01:15:12,379 --> 01:15:10,349 there extra dimensions whatever how are 1964 01:15:14,389 --> 01:15:12,389 they characterized and you know people 1965 01:15:16,609 --> 01:15:14,399 are hoping they might have some glimpse 1966 01:15:18,349 --> 01:15:16,619 to long shot maybe chemical in something 1967 01:15:21,020 --> 01:15:18,359 like that in the Large Hadron Collider 1968 01:15:22,639 --> 01:15:21,030 that's now spinning up in CERN or maybe 1969 01:15:25,250 --> 01:15:22,649 by a different sort of mechanism 1970 01:15:27,079 --> 01:15:25,260 mechanism might affect the very subtle 1971 01:15:28,909 --> 01:15:27,089 bumps and Wiggles in the Cosmic 1972 01:15:30,139 --> 01:15:28,919 Microwave Background I mean there that's 1973 01:15:32,089 --> 01:15:30,149 again have to kind of cutting-edge 1974 01:15:34,009 --> 01:15:32,099 research questions who are there extra 1975 01:15:35,599 --> 01:15:34,019 dimensions and if so how do we 1976 01:15:37,069 --> 01:15:35,609 understand them what and then what my 1977 01:15:39,559 --> 01:15:37,079 what else might they imply what are they 1978 01:15:40,700 --> 01:15:39,569 open up know do you think that this is 1979 01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:40,710 one of them works 1980 01:15:46,169 --> 01:15:44,050 right dimensional speaking we have David 1981 01:15:51,620 --> 01:15:46,179 Kiser Chrissa Brian's the co-host I'm 1982 01:15:58,020 --> 01:15:54,830 [Music] 1983 01:16:00,479 -->

David Kiser talking 2087 01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:20,780 about I guess cutting-edge physics 2088 01:20:27,070 --> 01:20:23,810 quantum mechanics all that stuff that 2089 01:20:29,260 --> 01:20:27,080 way out there stuff with David Kaiser 2090 01:20:31,270 --> 01:20:29,270 I'm Jean Steinberg the co-host is Chris 2091 01:20:34,510 --> 01:20:31,280 O'Brien Chris before we did our break 2092 01:20:36,850 --> 01:20:34,520 you had started a question well you know 2093 01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:36,860 I've just been seeing so much in the 2094 01:20:43,270 --> 01:20:39,410 news lately spokespeople like Michio 2095 01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:43,280 Kaku is a just a such and a good writer 2096 01:20:48,220 --> 01:20:46,130 and and and there are other writers in 2097 01:20:49,690 --> 01:20:48,230 it similar to the books in the early 2098 01:20:51,580 --> 01:20:49,700 seventies it came out in fact that's 2099 01:20:53,350 --> 01:20:51,590 where I first learned about quantum 2100 01:20:55,540 --> 01:20:53,360 quantum physics it was in the DAO 2101 01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:55,550 physics and the dancing would leave 2102 01:20:57,790 --> 01:20:56,930 masses there there were several other 2103 01:21:00,160 --> 01:20:57,800 books as well 2104 01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:00,170 people like Michio Kaku now I think are 2105 01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:02,210 they're so accessible and there's 2106 01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:04,810 they're elegantly able to relay such 2107 01:21:10,780 --> 01:21:07,250 mind-boggling information to lay people 2108 01:21:13,270 --> 01:21:10,790 I get a sense that quantum physics is in 2109 01:21:15,340 --> 01:21:13,280 a real is in a real up period right now 2110 01:21:18,190 --> 01:21:15,350 how would you rate this time period now 2111 01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:18,200 in terms of excitement in the field I 2112 01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:19,970 definitely agree and I agree both about 2113 01:21:24,430 --> 01:21:22,610 the talented writers now like Michio 2114 01:21:26,290 --> 01:21:24,440 Kaku like Brian Greene it's like lots of 2115 01:21:29,050 --> 01:21:26,300 people I think they are they are really 2116 01:21:31,090 --> 01:21:29,060 good at that and even even when they're 2117 01:21:33,490 --> 01:21:31,100 not trying to necessarily write engaging 2118 01:21:35,020 --> 01:21:33,500 books for for non-specialists you know 2119 01:21:36,790 --> 01:21:35,030 in their own offices I think you're 2120 01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:36,800 right it is an exciting time you know 2121 01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:38,930 one like my colleagues at MIT is Max 2122 01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:42,290 tegmark and he you know he I think he'd 2123 01:21:46,090 --> 01:21:44,210 share that as sort of wild giddy 2124 01:21:47,980 --> 01:21:46,100 enthusiasm for Seth Lloyd or all these 2125 01:21:49,480 --> 01:21:47,990 folks and I think it partly for the 2126 01:21:51,190 --> 01:21:49,490 reason I said before I mean when we go 2127 01:21:53,500 --> 01:21:51,200 to the hyper small to the 2128 01:21:55,690 --> 01:21:53,510 mind-bogglingly large in each direction 2129 01:21:58,000 --> 01:21:55,700 we're getting to new insights into 2130 01:21:59,470 --> 01:21:58,010 quantum theory it's it's leading some 2131 01:22:01,960 --> 01:21:59,480 new questions and often to some really 2132 01:22:04,030 --> 01:22:01,970 very fancy new experiments as well so I 2133 01:22:06,820 --> 01:22:04,040 you know I the the subtitle for my book 2134 01:22:07,870 --> 01:22:06,830 was the quantum revival and I think that 2135 01:22:08,899 --> 01:22:07,880 that was really meant to say there's 2136 01:22:10,699 --> 01:22:08,909 there's an exciting 2137 01:22:13,370 --> 01:22:10,709 going on now and I think a lot of 2138 01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:13,380 physicists you will feel that let me ask 2139 01:22:16,609 --> 01:22:15,090 you a question that kind of arises from 2140 01:22:17,839 --> 01:22:16,619 that we're looking at all this 2141 01:22:20,779 --> 01:22:17,849 cutting-edge science 2142 01:22:22,609 --> 01:22:20,789 how does organized religion handle all 2143 01:22:24,020 --> 01:22:22,619 these developments or can they well I 2144 01:22:26,390 --> 01:22:24,030 don't know I mean to be honest is not 2145 01:22:27,500 --> 01:22:26,400 the area of my expertise I think there 2146 01:22:29,359 --> 01:22:27,510 might be different responses from 2147 01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:29,369 different you know traditions and 2148 01:22:33,169 --> 01:22:31,650 religious communities one thing I will 2149 01:22:35,659 --> 01:22:33,179 say psych take us off track one thing 2150 01:22:38,140 --> 01:22:35,669 that was interesting to me was seeing 2151 01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:38,150 the rise of a kind of anti Big Bang 2152 01:22:42,259 --> 01:22:41,010 fervor from some corners of a kind of 2153 01:22:43,159 --> 01:22:42,269 creationist or intelligent design 2154 01:22:44,540 --> 01:22:43,169 science 2155 01:22:46,459 --> 01:22:44,550 so some folks seemed not very 2156 01:22:47,659 --> 01:22:46,469 comfortable and very happy with the 2157 01:22:50,359 --> 01:22:47,669 picture we have of a Big Bang 2158 01:22:51,919 --> 01:22:50,369 inflationary cosmology the sort of 2159 01:22:54,020 --> 01:22:51,929 mainstream view of how the universe 2160 01:22:55,069 --> 01:22:54,030 began and so some of the folks who would 2161 01:22:56,870 --> 01:22:55,079 otherwise be spending a lot of time 2162 01:22:59,299 --> 01:22:56,880 critiquing you know Darwinian natural 2163 01:23:00,529 --> 01:22:59,309 selection biology classrooms some of 2164 01:23:01,699 --> 01:23:00,539 them turned have turned their sights on 2165 01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:01,709 to the Big Bang so that's one example 2166 01:23:05,179 --> 01:23:03,449 it's certainly not the only one example 2167 01:23:06,379 --> 01:23:05,189 of you know kind of religion or 2168 01:23:08,239 --> 01:23:06,389 spirituality and couching these 2169 01:23:09,379 --> 01:23:08,249 questions just to say there's gonna be a 2170 01:23:11,330 --> 01:23:09,389 mixed bag and I don't know 2171 01:23:13,009 --> 01:23:11,340 you know who's giving the most serious 2172 01:23:15,589 --> 01:23:13,019 thought to that I haven't been it's not 2173 01:23:18,979 --> 01:23:15,599 where I would really be an expert was 2174 01:23:21,319 --> 01:23:18,989 the impact to religion anything that 2175 01:23:23,239 --> 01:23:21,329 they thought about when all those hippy 2176 01:23:24,290 --> 01:23:23,249 scientists were getting together all 2177 01:23:27,919 --> 01:23:24,300 those years ago 2178 01:23:31,009 --> 01:23:27,929 I think some more than others so people 2179 01:23:34,279 --> 01:23:31,019 like Fritjof Capra I think we're really 2180 01:23:36,409 --> 01:23:34,289 earnestly genuinely interested in into 2181 01:23:38,750 --> 01:23:36,419 the eastern worldview a very religious 2182 01:23:42,109 --> 01:23:38,760 spiritual worldview Hinduism Buddhism 2183 01:23:44,839 --> 01:23:42,119 you know Confucius and that whole dowas 2184 01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:44,849 and all the rest and so so Fritjof was 2185 01:23:48,379 --> 01:23:46,650 you became the kind of devoted student 2186 01:23:49,819 --> 01:23:48,389 to that he was reading everything it 2187 01:23:51,140 --> 01:23:49,829 could he'd go to all the seminars in the 2188 01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:51,150 Bay Area he could and even when he 2189 01:23:55,310 --> 01:23:53,010 wanted left at the area so for some 2190 01:23:57,350 --> 01:23:55,320 people yes I think religion or at least 2191 01:23:58,959 --> 01:23:57,360 some kind of spirituality was central 2192 01:24:01,129 --> 01:23:58,969 was absolutely central to that ongoing 2193 01:24:02,449 --> 01:24:01,139 evolving set of questions I'm not sure 2194 01:24:04,370 --> 01:24:02,459 it played the same role or had the same 2195 01:24:06,109 --> 01:24:04,380 impact even for all members just as that 2196 01:24:08,089 --> 01:24:06,119 tiny group let alone for other folks you 2197 01:24:09,500 --> 01:24:08,099 know at the time so for some of them 2198 01:24:11,629 --> 01:24:09,510 yeah you can definitely see that was an 2199 01:24:14,359 --> 01:24:11,639 important feature okay so looking 2200 01:24:17,870 --> 01:24:14,369 further at the impact what about the 2201 01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:17,880 fact that our space program has been cut 2202 01:24:21,799 --> 01:24:20,010 down in a large way especially at the 2203 01:24:25,790 --> 01:24:21,809 end of the shuttle program 2204 01:24:27,770 --> 01:24:25,800 that hurt this kind of research I don't 2205 01:24:29,359 --> 01:24:27,780 know if it'll hurt in a direct way I 2206 01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:29,369 think it might hurt more in the sense of 2207 01:24:32,959 --> 01:24:31,170 who's asking the big weird out their 2208 01:24:35,899 --> 01:24:32,969 questions and who's gonna be inspired by 2209 01:24:37,790 --> 01:24:35,909 amazing things you know I don't think 2210 01:24:39,919 --> 01:24:37,800 there was much of a budget spill over at 2211 01:24:41,959 --> 01:24:39,929 least done that I know of I don't think 2212 01:24:44,419 --> 01:24:41,969 we cash it out nickels and dimes from 2213 01:24:46,220 --> 01:24:44,429 one appropriation line to another but I 2214 01:24:48,319 --> 01:24:46,230 think you know the larger question of 2215 01:24:50,450 --> 01:24:48,329 what's our place in the universe what 2216 01:24:52,700 --> 01:24:50,460 does it all mean I think a lot of people 2217 01:24:55,580 --> 01:24:52,710 for decades have found you know deep 2218 01:24:57,589 --> 01:24:55,590 deep inspiration from the space program 2219 01:24:58,459 --> 01:24:57,599 and you know so we want to work we want 2220 01:25:00,229 --> 01:24:58,469 to look at those we might say 2221 01:25:01,790 --> 01:25:00,239 second-order effects you know where 2222 01:25:05,299 --> 01:25:01,800 there are we might we might indeed see 2223 01:25:06,890 --> 01:25:05,309 an impact now what is your personal 2224 01:25:09,740 --> 01:25:06,900 opinion about this do you think they 2225 01:25:11,330 --> 01:25:09,750 went about all wrong and cutting back on 2226 01:25:13,669 --> 01:25:11,340 the space program yeah kind of think 2227 01:25:16,700 --> 01:25:13,679 that the promise that was realized with 2228 01:25:19,839 --> 01:25:16,710 the moon landing in 1969 you know it was 2229 01:25:22,910 --> 01:25:19,849 never really followed up in a huge way I 2230 01:25:24,799 --> 01:25:22,920 was a kid I was completely enamored of 2231 01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:24,809 the space whenever my walls were covered 2232 01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:27,090 till my president had you know like rock 2233 01:25:30,709 --> 01:25:29,010 star posters up and I was had you know 2234 01:25:33,620 --> 01:25:30,719 astronaut and the Space Shuttle posted 2235 01:25:35,419 --> 01:25:33,630 so so you know I I grew up with that 2236 01:25:36,740 --> 01:25:35,429 stuff I build model rockets and I'm 2237 01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:36,750 gonna try to get my kids into that now 2238 01:25:41,660 --> 01:25:38,730 and so you know yeah I was definitely a 2239 01:25:43,729 --> 01:25:41,670 kind of space junkie and so it is pretty 2240 01:25:45,799 --> 01:25:43,739 pretty sad for me just personally to 2241 01:25:49,189 --> 01:25:45,809 realize that you know the last shuttle 2242 01:25:50,870 --> 01:25:49,199 launch has now passed and so on you know 2243 01:25:52,580 --> 01:25:50,880 on the other hand who knows maybe some 2244 01:25:55,279 --> 01:25:52,590 other you know exciting cool thing will 2245 01:25:57,020 --> 01:25:55,289 will start to take its place and so you 2246 01:25:58,700 --> 01:25:57,030 know where I put my historians cap back 2247 01:26:00,830 --> 01:25:58,710 on even even at the height of the Apollo 2248 01:26:03,470 --> 01:26:00,840 program you know there was a lot of 2249 01:26:05,569 --> 01:26:03,480 concern in this country about budget 2250 01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:05,579 priorities not unlike today you know 2251 01:26:10,100 --> 01:26:07,770 cities were crumbling horrible you know 2252 01:26:12,169 --> 01:26:10,110 challenges and a lot of critics that 2253 01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:12,179 even back then said you know there has 2254 01:26:15,410 --> 01:26:13,530 to be some kind of cost-benefit trade 2255 01:26:17,330 --> 01:26:15,420 off and I can only sympathize with those 2256 01:26:19,339 --> 01:26:17,340 concerns it's you know there's a limit 2257 01:26:20,450 --> 01:26:19,349 to what we can try to do and we're here 2258 01:26:22,669 --> 01:26:20,460 about these limits all the time these 2259 01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:22,679 days financially you know economically 2260 01:26:26,629 --> 01:26:25,050 in this country so it's tricky I mean 2261 01:26:29,779 --> 01:26:26,639 what do we do to accomplish great things 2262 01:26:31,250 --> 01:26:29,789 to inspire just absolute euphoria in 2263 01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:31,260 people what I think is incredibly 2264 01:26:35,050 --> 01:26:32,730 important for asking big questions 2265 01:26:36,340 --> 01:26:35,060 people keeping people excited 2266 01:26:38,770 --> 01:26:36,350 you know we don't have unlimited 2267 01:26:40,570 --> 01:26:38,780 resources so you know that's your 2268 01:26:41,710 --> 01:26:40,580 wishy-washy answer there I wish we could 2269 01:26:44,770 --> 01:26:41,720 do more I can understand why they're 2270 01:26:47,110 --> 01:26:44,780 living another question here is can we 2271 01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:47,120 relate any of this research to the 2272 01:26:53,170 --> 01:26:50,330 sources for new forms of energy running 2273 01:26:56,350 --> 01:26:53,180 out of oil high price of oil looking at 2274 01:26:59,080 --> 01:26:56,360 all the alternatives electric cars 2275 01:27:01,150 --> 01:26:59,090 whatever is there anything in physics 2276 01:27:03,390 --> 01:27:01,160 that we could look to maybe an unlimited 2277 01:27:06,070 --> 01:27:03,400 source of energy free energy whatever 2278 01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:06,080 well you know so that's an idea where it 2279 01:27:10,630 --> 01:27:07,730 does get kicked around I would say sort 2280 01:27:11,620 --> 01:27:10,640 of on the margin still I'm not convinced 2281 01:27:13,420 --> 01:27:11,630 of that I'm not gonna say that's 2282 01:27:16,720 --> 01:27:13,430 definitely right or wrong but it's I 2283 01:27:18,700 --> 01:27:16,730 think most mainstream physicists are not 2284 01:27:19,750 --> 01:27:18,710 you know convinced by that but again 2285 01:27:21,190 --> 01:27:19,760 that doesn't mean people shouldn't 2286 01:27:24,220 --> 01:27:21,200 should necessarily you know keep keep 2287 01:27:26,590 --> 01:27:24,230 pushing on it so people often will there 2288 01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:26,600 are all kinds of you know terms and 2289 01:27:31,420 --> 01:27:29,090 jargon and look at you know pass around 2290 01:27:33,250 --> 01:27:31,430 on that and again I'll just say that I 2291 01:27:34,660 --> 01:27:33,260 haven't seen enough yet to be convinced 2292 01:27:36,220 --> 01:27:34,670 but that could be my fault and not the 2293 01:27:39,550 --> 01:27:36,230 fault of the folks you know we're 2294 01:27:41,350 --> 01:27:39,560 working on it now looking at the crazy 2295 01:27:43,570 --> 01:27:41,360 quilt stuff that we deal with on the 2296 01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:43,580 power cast obviously you covered some of 2297 01:27:49,930 --> 01:27:47,050 that with the investigations at 2298 01:27:51,970 --> 01:27:49,940 universities of people who claim to have 2299 01:27:55,480 --> 01:27:51,980 various extrasensory powers 2300 01:27:58,930 --> 01:27:55,490 now if et is out there 50 light-years 2301 01:28:02,980 --> 01:27:58,940 from here does he or she or in have to 2302 01:28:05,020 --> 01:28:02,990 spend 50 years getting here how do they 2303 01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:05,030 come here or do you think they have come 2304 01:28:10,150 --> 01:28:07,730 here well that's again that's a great 2305 01:28:12,100 --> 01:28:10,160 question so the first response would be 2306 01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:12,110 to say they would probably take a lot 2307 01:28:15,730 --> 01:28:13,850 more than 50 years because they probably 2308 01:28:17,230 --> 01:28:15,740 couldn't travel even close to the actual 2309 01:28:19,150 --> 01:28:17,240 speed of light so if they're 50 light 2310 01:28:20,470 --> 01:28:19,160 years away they think it would take 50 2311 01:28:21,610 --> 01:28:20,480 years if they're because as you know if 2312 01:28:23,770 --> 01:28:21,620 they're traveling at the speed of light 2313 01:28:25,480 --> 01:28:23,780 if we believe eye signs relativity they 2314 01:28:27,790 --> 01:28:25,490 couldn't even get to that speed so okay 2315 01:28:29,530 --> 01:28:27,800 so we're looking at you know decades and 2316 01:28:35,340 --> 01:28:29,540 then on the other hand you know you can 2317 01:28:39,100 --> 01:28:35,350 you can ask about exam is is is really a 2318 01:28:40,330 --> 01:28:39,110 pretty weird fun thing to think about as 2319 01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:40,340 if you take Einstein's general 2320 01:28:43,570 --> 01:28:42,290 relativity seriously you know could 2321 01:28:46,300 --> 01:28:43,580 there be wormholes could there be 2322 01:28:48,430 --> 01:28:46,310 non-trivial structures because everybody 2323 01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:48,440 could do these typologies in space 2324 01:28:51,459 --> 01:28:49,730 time that we just aren't aware of yet 2325 01:28:53,500 --> 01:28:51,469 that could be like the ultimate shortcut 2326 01:28:55,750 --> 01:28:53,510 and you know lots of people lots of 2327 01:28:57,430 --> 01:28:55,760 straight-laced university professors had 2328 01:28:58,900 --> 01:28:57,440 thought about that very hard let alone 2329 01:29:00,670 --> 01:28:58,910 other folks who find it inspiring and 2330 01:29:02,860 --> 01:29:00,680 wacky and who might be more onto margins 2331 01:29:04,959 --> 01:29:02,870 so again I wouldn't say no it could 2332 01:29:06,130 --> 01:29:04,969 never ever ever be shown because you 2333 01:29:08,350 --> 01:29:06,140 know look people like Stephen Hawking 2334 01:29:10,750 --> 01:29:08,360 worried about closed timelike pads 2335 01:29:13,470 --> 01:29:10,760 people like Kip Thorne at Cal Tech I've 2336 01:29:15,790 --> 01:29:13,480 done incredibly sophisticated studies of 2337 01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:15,800 exotic structures and Einstein's 2338 01:29:19,570 --> 01:29:17,210 relativity and wormholes and all the 2339 01:29:22,780 --> 01:29:19,580 rest so you know if that's again I play 2340 01:29:25,060 --> 01:29:22,790 that that's a fair question and one that 2341 01:29:26,979 --> 01:29:25,070 even if the answer Altima still turns 2342 01:29:29,590 --> 01:29:26,989 out to be no we're going to learn a lot 2343 01:29:31,570 --> 01:29:29,600 in the process we have David Kaiser 2344 01:29:33,939 --> 01:29:31,580 learning a lot in the process this is 2345 01:29:36,729 --> 01:29:33,949 your science school where we're trying 2346 01:29:40,300 --> 01:29:36,739 to look at cutting-edge science in a way 2347 01:29:43,630 --> 01:29:40,310 that we can all relate to it we have a 2348 01:29:52,620 --> 01:29:43,640 co-host Chris O'Brien I'm gene Steinberg 2349 01:29:57,180 --> 01:29:54,980 [Music] 2350 01:29:59,310 --> 01:29:57,190 graphic

this is 2432 01:34:12,740 --> 01:34:08,920 nuclear physicist electors and Friedman 2433 01:34:19,560 --> 01:34:12,750 you are listening to the parrot get the 2434 01:34:21,870 --> 01:34:19,570 gold standard a paranormal radio we 2435 01:34:23,700 --> 01:34:21,880 continue with David Kiser discussing 2436 01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:23,710 cutting-edge science with Jean and Chris 2437 01:34:27,419 --> 01:34:25,570 some the power cast we're trying to keep 2438 01:34:30,629 --> 01:34:27,429 up with him okay because I didn't go to 2439 01:34:32,850 --> 01:34:30,639 MIT I didn't pretend to go at MIT I've 2440 01:34:35,070 --> 01:34:32,860 read the science literature but you know 2441 01:34:35,729 --> 01:34:35,080 we're trying to keep it at a sensible 2442 01:34:38,220 --> 01:34:35,739 level 2443 01:34:41,550 --> 01:34:38,230 okay David Kiser the other question is 2444 01:34:44,790 --> 01:34:41,560 were involved in all these things that 2445 01:34:46,919 --> 01:34:44,800 impact space and time so can we travel 2446 01:34:49,379 --> 01:34:46,929 to the future can we travel to the past 2447 01:34:52,649 --> 01:34:49,389 can we take that quantum leap as they 2448 01:34:54,090 --> 01:34:52,659 say on the TV show well you know look we 2449 01:34:55,950 --> 01:34:54,100 can certainly travel to the future which 2450 01:34:58,080 --> 01:34:55,960 is just by sitting still and letting the 2451 01:34:59,729 --> 01:34:58,090 clock tick by could we could we make a 2452 01:35:01,919 --> 01:34:59,739 great leap toward the future then then 2453 01:35:06,209 --> 01:35:01,929 it gets more tricky and likewise for the 2454 01:35:08,879 --> 01:35:06,219 past so again I'd say the mainstream 2455 01:35:12,479 --> 01:35:08,889 consensus seems to be no who's not yet 2456 01:35:14,879 --> 01:35:12,489 and yet you know relativity continues to 2457 01:35:16,350 --> 01:35:14,889 surprise it and so I wouldn't want to 2458 01:35:18,240 --> 01:35:16,360 say never ever never under those 2459 01:35:20,820 --> 01:35:18,250 circumstances I think I haven't seen it 2460 01:35:22,950 --> 01:35:20,830 yet and that again could just be much as 2461 01:35:24,810 --> 01:35:22,960 must be my own limited imagination but 2462 01:35:27,419 --> 01:35:24,820 you know well to general relativity even 2463 01:35:30,180 --> 01:35:27,429 even canonical even just Einsteins 2464 01:35:32,070 --> 01:35:30,190 version of relativity has all kinds of 2465 01:35:34,050 --> 01:35:32,080 amazing features and there's a 2466 01:35:35,970 --> 01:35:34,060 flourishing kind of industry of 2467 01:35:37,890 --> 01:35:35,980 scientists working on expansions beyond 2468 01:35:39,899 --> 01:35:37,900 eyes as relativity where even more sort 2469 01:35:43,260 --> 01:35:39,909 of exotic or unexpected things could be 2470 01:35:45,479 --> 01:35:43,270 possible at least in theory so I haven't 2471 01:35:48,750 --> 01:35:45,489 you know I haven't seen the great proof 2472 01:35:50,430 --> 01:35:48,760 yet but you know very smart and earnest 2473 01:35:51,979 --> 01:35:50,440 people are working on it all the time at 2474 01:35:54,870 --> 01:35:51,989 least I'm not trying to understand that 2475 01:35:56,910 --> 01:35:54,880 on the theoretical level even if maybe 2476 01:35:58,470 --> 01:35:56,920 not building you know their own time 2477 01:36:01,379 --> 01:35:58,480 machines just yet we were talking about 2478 01:36:04,470 --> 01:36:01,389 some of the current buzzwords and and in 2479 01:36:07,260 --> 01:36:04,480 aspects of quantum physics that are now 2480 01:36:09,120 --> 01:36:07,270 currently being answered about back in 2481 01:36:10,930 --> 01:36:09,130 the early 90s I seem to recall there was 2482 01:36:14,500 --> 01:36:10,940 a bit of a of 2483 01:36:16,330 --> 01:36:14,510 Lurie of interest in ColdFusion I 2484 01:36:19,420 --> 01:36:16,340 haven't heard anything about that 2485 01:36:22,410 --> 01:36:19,430 recently is this a dead area of inquiry 2486 01:36:26,439 --> 01:36:22,420 or study or where are we in that process 2487 01:36:28,060 --> 01:36:26,449 well you know I'm no expert in what's 2488 01:36:29,439 --> 01:36:28,070 going on most recently I do know it's 2489 01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:29,449 not dead and says that there are still 2490 01:36:32,860 --> 01:36:31,010 people looking at in fact as a 2491 01:36:35,350 --> 01:36:32,870 sociologist decide to coined as the 2492 01:36:38,530 --> 01:36:35,360 undead side it's like a zombie thing 2493 01:36:40,450 --> 01:36:38,540 that she won't see not to die and some 2494 01:36:43,360 --> 01:36:40,460 people at least there's a good 2495 01:36:45,670 --> 01:36:43,370 description and again I'm not I'm not 2496 01:36:46,900 --> 01:36:45,680 gonna cast aspersions on those who are 2497 01:36:47,650 --> 01:36:46,910 doing it now I just don't I'm not 2498 01:36:49,479 --> 01:36:47,660 following you 2499 01:36:51,580 --> 01:36:49,489 I dunno they're you know the numbers 2500 01:36:53,740 --> 01:36:51,590 followed you now I think if dwindled 2501 01:36:57,100 --> 01:36:53,750 even from the heyday that you described 2502 01:36:58,420 --> 01:36:57,110 but it's not zero and so you know some 2503 01:37:00,850 --> 01:36:58,430 people are convinced there's still 2504 01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:00,860 something there how about building 2505 01:37:05,740 --> 01:37:03,170 machines based on dark matter I've I've 2506 01:37:07,300 --> 01:37:05,750 been seeing somebody lately that there's 2507 01:37:11,740 --> 01:37:07,310 some question whether dark matter is 2508 01:37:13,750 --> 01:37:11,750 even real obviously theoretically you 2509 01:37:15,520 --> 01:37:13,760 know I know how put off is very 2510 01:37:19,270 --> 01:37:15,530 interested in it I know Sarfati has been 2511 01:37:21,490 --> 01:37:19,280 very interested in it in others but what 2512 01:37:22,930 --> 01:37:21,500 is this current this new development in 2513 01:37:26,530 --> 01:37:22,940 there where now the whole concept is 2514 01:37:27,850 --> 01:37:26,540 being being questioned well I'm not sure 2515 01:37:30,880 --> 01:37:27,860 the specific that you're referring to I 2516 01:37:33,060 --> 01:37:30,890 do know in general either been a lot of 2517 01:37:35,410 --> 01:37:33,070 efforts you know dark matter is so 2518 01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:35,420 troubling right - most astrophysicists 2519 01:37:39,310 --> 01:37:37,489 because it's like who ordered that we 2520 01:37:41,410 --> 01:37:39,320 don't we don't want that stuff right it 2521 01:37:43,240 --> 01:37:41,420 means that again as I'm sure you even 2522 01:37:47,380 --> 01:37:43,250 listeners know means on the order of a 2523 01:37:49,510 --> 01:37:47,390 quarter about truff ly 25% of the energy 2524 01:37:51,100 --> 01:37:49,520 balance of the entire universe is stuff 2525 01:37:52,720 --> 01:37:51,110 that we don't have any idea what it is 2526 01:37:54,160 --> 01:37:52,730 and we've never detected it we can't 2527 01:37:56,020 --> 01:37:54,170 smell it we can't catch it in our 2528 01:37:58,870 --> 01:37:56,030 laboratory we haven't yet it despite 2529 01:38:01,120 --> 01:37:58,880 some very good tries and we have no 2530 01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:01,130 clear idea of what it might be a lots of 2531 01:38:04,810 --> 01:38:03,530 competing hypotheses and so it'll be 2532 01:38:06,760 --> 01:38:04,820 great if there were no need for talk 2533 01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:06,770 matter at all if it was just one grand 2534 01:38:11,950 --> 01:38:10,010 mistake but that's been hard too I mean 2535 01:38:14,140 --> 01:38:11,960 again I won't discount every effort but 2536 01:38:16,330 --> 01:38:14,150 we think we understand Einstein's 2537 01:38:18,430 --> 01:38:16,340 relativity really really well with from 2538 01:38:22,660 --> 01:38:18,440 lots of angles with lots of sensitive 2539 01:38:24,250 --> 01:38:22,670 tests and if - relativity is to hold and 2540 01:38:24,810 --> 01:38:24,260 it really exceeded to my understanding 2541 01:38:27,210 --> 01:38:24,820 we 2542 01:38:29,250 --> 01:38:27,220 really do need this mysterious missing 2543 01:38:31,470 --> 01:38:29,260 matters dark matter to make sense of the 2544 01:38:34,260 --> 01:38:31,480 behavior of galaxies the way they rotate 2545 01:38:36,810 --> 01:38:34,270 the way they behave gravitationally and 2546 01:38:38,490 --> 01:38:36,820 so it could be that Einstein's 2547 01:38:40,260 --> 01:38:38,500 relativity is just wrong and there's 2548 01:38:41,850 --> 01:38:40,270 some other theory we don't know yet it's 2549 01:38:44,730 --> 01:38:41,860 so that's always possible right and 2550 01:38:45,870 --> 01:38:44,740 maybe that would make get away from the 2551 01:38:47,790 --> 01:38:45,880 need for dark matter it's a 2552 01:38:50,130 --> 01:38:47,800 gravitational interaction itself would 2553 01:38:52,590 --> 01:38:50,140 would give the same result without this 2554 01:38:54,330 --> 01:38:52,600 mysterious stuff but but that's I think 2555 01:38:56,760 --> 01:38:54,340 that would be fairly called a longshot 2556 01:38:58,560 --> 01:38:56,770 not impossible but a longshot and if we 2557 01:39:00,240 --> 01:38:58,570 and if gravity if galaxy's are behaving 2558 01:39:01,890 --> 01:39:00,250 the way we think they are the way we 2559 01:39:03,510 --> 01:39:01,900 think we understand they should then I 2560 01:39:05,310 --> 01:39:03,520 think we're largely stuck with this 2561 01:39:08,070 --> 01:39:05,320 missing you know this mystery of what is 2562 01:39:09,360 --> 01:39:08,080 this stuff and so before we can build 2563 01:39:11,310 --> 01:39:09,370 machines out of it let's just go out 2564 01:39:14,220 --> 01:39:11,320 let's it detects them first let's go to 2565 01:39:15,750 --> 01:39:14,230 the lab yeah and then you then you can 2566 01:39:17,520 --> 01:39:15,760 play with it first you gotta prove you 2567 01:39:20,730 --> 01:39:17,530 know kind of figure out what what 2568 01:39:23,100 --> 01:39:20,740 exactly it is because that's a heck of a 2569 01:39:25,470 --> 01:39:23,110 lot of I mean the universe is pretty 2570 01:39:28,410 --> 01:39:25,480 pretty big place in 25% of it just still 2571 01:39:30,330 --> 01:39:28,420 being an unknown as that must perplex a 2572 01:39:32,580 --> 01:39:30,340 lot of people here's another one now 2573 01:39:34,950 --> 01:39:32,590 Andrew kind of mentioned this one to me 2574 01:39:37,710 --> 01:39:34,960 before he was wondering if the Higgs 2575 01:39:39,930 --> 01:39:37,720 boson particle is not found at the Large 2576 01:39:43,680 --> 01:39:39,940 Hadron Collider what happens to the 2577 01:39:44,940 --> 01:39:43,690 standard model yeah find that for our 2578 01:39:50,820 --> 01:39:44,950 listeners because their eyes are just 2579 01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:50,830 glazed over so so a couple things 2580 01:39:53,730 --> 01:39:52,330 there's it the Higgs boson I guess 2581 01:39:56,340 --> 01:39:53,740 realist just might now it's often in the 2582 01:39:58,560 --> 01:39:56,350 news these days it's a so far still 2583 01:40:01,370 --> 01:39:58,570 hypothetical particle no one's had the 2584 01:40:04,020 --> 01:40:01,380 definitive you know observational 2585 01:40:05,880 --> 01:40:04,030 measurements of it yet despite lots of 2586 01:40:07,560 --> 01:40:05,890 trying so trying now so it's a 2587 01:40:09,780 --> 01:40:07,570 hypothetical particle that really is 2588 01:40:12,570 --> 01:40:09,790 central to our understanding of the 2589 01:40:15,150 --> 01:40:12,580 basic forces between parts of atoms 2590 01:40:17,280 --> 01:40:15,160 between subatomic particles it's it's 2591 01:40:19,350 --> 01:40:17,290 one of the main mechanisms ik that 2592 01:40:20,910 --> 01:40:19,360 actually gives rise to math as they why 2593 01:40:22,770 --> 01:40:20,920 do you see an electron has a certain 2594 01:40:25,860 --> 01:40:22,780 mass instead of having no mass at all 2595 01:40:28,110 --> 01:40:25,870 and so it's it's um it's sort of it 2596 01:40:30,810 --> 01:40:28,120 conceptually it seems to literally hold 2597 01:40:33,780 --> 01:40:30,820 the whole the whole picture together 2598 01:40:35,220 --> 01:40:33,790 it's the only particle from that entire 2599 01:40:36,930 --> 01:40:35,230 what's called the standard model from 2600 01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:36,940 our understanding of the basic forces of 2601 01:40:39,959 --> 01:40:38,050 nature that is 2602 01:40:42,450 --> 01:40:39,969 been seen every other piece of the 2603 01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:42,460 center model by now has been seen we can 2604 01:40:46,229 --> 01:40:44,530 you know captured in our labs you can 2605 01:40:48,600 --> 01:40:46,239 mess around and measure them carefully 2606 01:40:51,540 --> 01:40:48,610 build stuff out of them in many cases 2607 01:40:52,799 --> 01:40:51,550 and the one ms the one missing component 2608 01:40:55,410 --> 01:40:52,809 the one piece that we just have never 2609 01:40:59,280 --> 01:40:55,420 ever seen directly is this this Higgs 2610 01:41:00,720 --> 01:40:59,290 particle so if it is not there at all 2611 01:41:02,600 --> 01:41:00,730 then you can play the usual game saying 2612 01:41:06,060 --> 01:41:02,610 well it must be in some different you 2613 01:41:08,160 --> 01:41:06,070 might have a different mass and we 2614 01:41:09,959 --> 01:41:08,170 thought a must lie outside the range we 2615 01:41:11,399 --> 01:41:09,969 need a bigger out of the Smasher but you 2616 01:41:13,910 --> 01:41:11,409 can only do that so far because then 2617 01:41:16,140 --> 01:41:13,920 other things start becoming you know and 2618 01:41:18,750 --> 01:41:16,150 inconsistent and so you can't play the 2619 01:41:20,310 --> 01:41:18,760 game too much more otherwise you could 2620 01:41:22,680 --> 01:41:20,320 say maybe there just is no Higgs 2621 01:41:24,149 --> 01:41:22,690 particle and it and it's it's kinda back 2622 01:41:25,530 --> 01:41:24,159 to the drawing board in that case so 2623 01:41:27,299 --> 01:41:25,540 that's both exciting because we'll have 2624 01:41:29,790 --> 01:41:27,309 lots more to do and apply for y'all for 2625 01:41:32,010 --> 01:41:29,800 grants but but it's that would be that 2626 01:41:34,049 --> 01:41:32,020 would be a real big I think the word 2627 01:41:36,359 --> 01:41:34,059 shock would not be inappropriate that 2628 01:41:38,069 --> 01:41:36,369 would be a big big deal if they're just 2629 01:41:40,379 --> 01:41:38,079 honestly no Higgs we've been thinking 2630 01:41:41,609 --> 01:41:40,389 about this thing and drunk inclusions 2631 01:41:44,850 --> 01:41:41,619 about what struck what property that 2632 01:41:46,830 --> 01:41:44,860 must have since the early 60s and it 2633 01:41:48,839 --> 01:41:46,840 really isn't they are 50 years later you 2634 01:41:51,510 --> 01:41:48,849 know back that's gonna be a big deal 2635 01:41:52,830 --> 01:41:51,520 yeah that's a big deal you know well you 2636 01:41:57,149 --> 01:41:52,840 know I've been I've been reading some 2637 01:41:59,970 --> 01:41:57,159 rather alarmist blogs and articles about 2638 01:42:03,810 --> 01:41:59,980 people really being in a place of fear 2639 01:42:05,700 --> 01:42:03,820 about what's going on at CERN and you 2640 01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:05,710 know you hear things bannered about like 2641 01:42:09,720 --> 01:42:08,170 oh they're gonna create a wormhole or 2642 01:42:11,250 --> 01:42:09,730 they're gonna create something that's 2643 01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:11,260 gonna eat the earth and you know there's 2644 01:42:16,979 --> 01:42:13,449 a lot of alarmism out there and do you 2645 01:42:19,319 --> 01:42:16,989 think that that kind of thinking somehow 2646 01:42:22,319 --> 01:42:19,329 relates to the fact that science has 2647 01:42:24,660 --> 01:42:22,329 left ahead so far away from the common 2648 01:42:26,549 --> 01:42:24,670 you know your average Joe out there Joe 2649 01:42:28,979 --> 01:42:26,559 Sixpack is sitting there you know 2650 01:42:31,290 --> 01:42:28,989 watching the news and and do you think 2651 01:42:33,930 --> 01:42:31,300 that there's a really increasing gap 2652 01:42:36,270 --> 01:42:33,940 between between the ivory towers of 2653 01:42:38,100 --> 01:42:36,280 science and and the average person and 2654 01:42:40,859 --> 01:42:38,110 do you think that this somehow 2655 01:42:43,200 --> 01:42:40,869 can relate to what appears to be a real 2656 01:42:46,979 --> 01:42:43,210 upsurge in interest in the last couple 2657 01:42:48,569 --> 01:42:46,989 of decades in areas of in subjects that 2658 01:42:51,780 --> 01:42:48,579 most scientists just roll their eyes 2659 01:42:54,990 --> 01:42:51,790 whether it's you know all these ghosts 2660 01:42:58,140 --> 01:42:55,000 shows and in UFO shows and in this 2661 01:42:59,790 --> 01:42:58,150 interest in in more magical mystical 2662 01:43:02,070 --> 01:42:59,800 things do you think that that's a direct 2663 01:43:05,100 --> 01:43:02,080 result of this this increasing gap 2664 01:43:08,340 --> 01:43:05,110 between cutting-edge science quantum 2665 01:43:10,770 --> 01:43:08,350 theory and just these wonderful you know 2666 01:43:12,180 --> 01:43:10,780 leaps ahead that we're doing in terms of 2667 01:43:15,120 --> 01:43:12,190 our scientific knowledge do you think 2668 01:43:16,500 --> 01:43:15,130 that there's a relation there you know I 2669 01:43:17,910 --> 01:43:16,510 bet there isn't I bet there's other 2670 01:43:19,590 --> 01:43:17,920 things going on you know in the mix as 2671 01:43:20,820 --> 01:43:19,600 well but I wouldn't discount her I think 2672 01:43:22,920 --> 01:43:20,830 I think you're right and I certainly 2673 01:43:25,710 --> 01:43:22,930 agree that this sort of increasing gap 2674 01:43:27,150 --> 01:43:25,720 between what sort of most people can be 2675 01:43:29,400 --> 01:43:27,160 expected to know or understand about 2676 01:43:31,050 --> 01:43:29,410 science and the kind of cutting edge I 2677 01:43:34,200 --> 01:43:31,060 think that I think that gap is getting 2678 01:43:38,340 --> 01:43:34,210 pretty wide and I think is also you know 2679 01:43:40,020 --> 01:43:38,350 there's you know the kind of late 60s if 2680 01:43:41,850 --> 01:43:40,030 I say the Watergate era you know in this 2681 01:43:43,680 --> 01:43:41,860 country there's been a lot less 2682 01:43:44,790 --> 01:43:43,690 inclination to just believe what the 2683 01:43:47,610 --> 01:43:44,800 experts are telling you no matter who 2684 01:43:49,770 --> 01:43:47,620 the experts are and so I think there's a 2685 01:43:52,050 --> 01:43:49,780 change in a kind of political culture or 2686 01:43:53,790 --> 01:43:52,060 maybe a media culture so it's not only 2687 01:43:55,230 --> 01:43:53,800 we don't understand that stuff but you 2688 01:43:57,090 --> 01:43:55,240 know who are you to tell me what what I 2689 01:43:58,410 --> 01:43:57,100 shouldn't even worry about like you know 2690 01:44:00,990 --> 01:43:58,420 like and I'm just done that has 2691 01:44:02,400 --> 01:44:01,000 something behind it you know with just 2692 01:44:03,930 --> 01:44:02,410 having fancy letters after name doesn't 2693 01:44:05,550 --> 01:44:03,940 mean you know everything and we've been 2694 01:44:07,950 --> 01:44:05,560 surprised all the time before so there 2695 01:44:10,710 --> 01:44:07,960 can be a kind of concern you know are 2696 01:44:13,650 --> 01:44:10,720 the experts not telling us stuff might 2697 01:44:15,360 --> 01:44:13,660 be might not be what can I say that 2698 01:44:17,040 --> 01:44:15,370 might not be a real cause for concern it 2699 01:44:19,050 --> 01:44:17,050 might not be vast conspiracies of evil 2700 01:44:20,910 --> 01:44:19,060 scientists behind the curtain but I can 2701 01:44:22,680 --> 01:44:20,920 understand why why people might be 2702 01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:22,690 worried you know do we know everything 2703 01:44:26,100 --> 01:44:24,370 we need to know they can tell me not to 2704 01:44:27,570 --> 01:44:26,110 worry but we've heard that before I'll 2705 01:44:29,280 --> 01:44:27,580 tell you though we have to do this break 2706 01:44:32,810 --> 01:44:29,290 we have David Kaiser the book is called 2707 01:44:35,370 --> 01:44:32,820 how the hippy saved physics science

01:45:15,869 why banks star Parker's investment 2725 01:45:19,009 --> 01:45:17,550 advisors won't talk about gold IRAs 2726 01:45:20,600 --> 01:45:19,019 they've been available since nineteen 2727 01:45:22,279 --> 01:45:20,610 eighty six yet the financial industry 2728 01:45:22,969 --> 01:45:22,289 won't recognize the value of gold for 2729 01:45:24,709 --> 01:45:22,979 your retirement 2730

01:46:00,929 --> 01:45:57,169 [Music] 2734 01:46:03,479 --> 01:46:00,939 this takes us to the final four of the 2735 01:46:05,939 --> 01:46:03,489 para cast David Kiser I cast I'm Jean 2736 01:46:08,759 --> 01:46:05,949 Chris O'Brien's with me you're in the 2737 01:46:11,669 --> 01:46:08,769 power cast I'm gonna ask you kind of 2738 01:46:13,459 --> 01:46:11,679 far-reaching question here which may or 2739 01:46:16,620 --> 01:46:13,469 may not relate to everything this 2740 01:46:19,770 --> 01:46:16,630 renewed emphasis in some quarters of the 2741 01:46:22,259 --> 01:46:19,780 political spectrum on what we didn't 2742 01:46:25,199 --> 01:46:22,269 consider science such as creationism 2743 01:46:27,750 --> 01:46:25,209 other things is there an anti science 2744 01:46:30,060 --> 01:46:27,760 movement going on trying to conserve 2745 01:46:31,830 --> 01:46:30,070 what we knew before and forget about 2746 01:46:36,060 --> 01:46:31,840 what we know now and what we hope to 2747 01:46:39,509 --> 01:46:36,070 know in the future us I hope not Jean I 2748 01:46:41,909 --> 01:46:39,519 think there are I think we find 2749 01:46:43,799 --> 01:46:41,919 tendencies like that I'm not sure so 2750 01:46:46,290 --> 01:46:43,809 much to sort of keep us from discovering 2751 01:46:48,060 --> 01:46:46,300 new things - I don't think that's what's 2752 01:46:50,279 --> 01:46:48,070 driving it I think it's you know I think 2753 01:46:52,169 --> 01:46:50,289 it's politics like like most politics if 2754 01:46:54,479 --> 01:46:52,179 people don't like a particular outcome 2755 01:46:57,299 --> 01:46:54,489 or policy then there could be efforts to 2756 01:46:59,520 --> 01:46:57,309 to use that to decide what legitimate to 2757 01:47:01,080 --> 01:46:59,530 - to study or to get funding for and all 2758 01:47:03,419 --> 01:47:01,090 the rest I think we saw a lot of that I 2759 01:47:06,270 --> 01:47:03,429 mean real sort of obvious bare 2760 01:47:08,879 --> 01:47:06,280 partisanship around science quite 2761 01:47:10,379 --> 01:47:08,889 frankly in the earlier years of this of 2762 01:47:12,689 --> 01:47:10,389 the 20th century in the United States 2763 01:47:13,919 --> 01:47:12,699 and I think independent ones politics I 2764 01:47:15,509 --> 01:47:13,929 think we can all agree there was a lot 2765 01:47:17,129 --> 01:47:15,519 of political meddling in a way that we 2766 01:47:20,100 --> 01:47:17,139 maybe hadn't been accustomed to seeing 2767 01:47:22,290 --> 01:47:20,110 for in quite so extreme ways in earlier 2768 01:47:24,509 --> 01:47:22,300 times so yeah I think as I mentioned 2769 01:47:26,580 --> 01:47:24,519 before you know I have a some modest 2770 01:47:28,500 --> 01:47:26,590 interest in following this kind of 2771 01:47:30,419 --> 01:47:28,510 intelligent design or creationism stuff 2772 01:47:32,850 --> 01:47:30,429 partly just because it sometimes it 2773 01:47:35,759 --> 01:47:32,860 impacts you know ideas about cosmology 2774 01:47:37,379 --> 01:47:35,769 or there's a kind of pushback around 2775 01:47:39,330 --> 01:47:37,389 what I consider actually really very 2776 01:47:40,649 --> 01:47:39,340 well-established ideas and other people 2777 01:47:41,549 --> 01:47:40,659 say you know that's just your opinion 2778 01:47:42,810 --> 01:47:41,559 and you have no right to teach our 2779 01:47:45,239 --> 01:47:42,820 children and all that kind of thing and 2780 01:47:47,189 --> 01:47:45,249 so you know that cut that's still around 2781 01:47:48,540 --> 01:47:47,199 it'll be integrally you know how that 2782 01:47:50,939 --> 01:47:48,550 settles out in the coming years 2783 01:47:52,889 --> 01:47:50,949 time one can't help but be reminded of 2784 01:47:55,529 --> 01:47:52,899 Pat Robertson's rather disturbing 2785 01:47:57,659 --> 01:47:55,539 comment about ten years ago where he 2786 01:48:00,569 --> 01:47:57,669 said that UFO believers should be stoned 2787 01:48:03,540 --> 01:48:00,579 that the heavens are for God the 2788 01:48:04,560 --> 01:48:03,550 firmament is for man yet he bounces the 2789 01:48:07,680 --> 01:48:04,570 700 club 2790 01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:07,690 satellites all over the whole Burkle I 2791 01:48:12,750 --> 01:48:10,330 guess I guess you want your cake and you 2792 01:48:15,110 --> 01:48:12,760 want to eat it too in that regard where 2793 01:48:17,970 --> 01:48:15,120 are we going now I mean what sort of 2794 01:48:20,790 --> 01:48:17,980 breakthroughs duh I mean I know you're 2795 01:48:24,000 --> 01:48:20,800 you have your own area of expertise and 2796 01:48:27,060 --> 01:48:24,010 cosmology do you see anything on the 2797 01:48:29,820 --> 01:48:27,070 near horizon there might be some just 2798 01:48:31,650 --> 01:48:29,830 amazing breakthrough are there any areas 2799 01:48:33,360 --> 01:48:31,660 that are particularly exciting right now 2800 01:48:35,310 --> 01:48:33,370 in science I think there are a lot of 2801 01:48:37,440 --> 01:48:35,320 areas that are really exciting you know 2802 01:48:39,270 --> 01:48:37,450 in my own little little universe so to 2803 01:48:41,970 --> 01:48:39,280 speak my little domain 2804 01:48:44,640 --> 01:48:41,980 I think cosmology is again just an 2805 01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:44,650 amazing place right now when I was 2806 01:48:48,840 --> 01:48:46,090 starting out as a student not all that 2807 01:48:51,090 --> 01:48:48,850 long ago we could basically say with 2808 01:48:51,870 --> 01:48:51,100 confidence that certain basic parameters 2809 01:48:53,580 --> 01:48:51,880 of our universe 2810 01:48:55,380 --> 01:48:53,590 we're known to within a factor of two 2811 01:48:58,050 --> 01:48:55,390 awfully to within a factor of 10 2812 01:49:00,390 --> 01:48:58,060 that's not very precise right and now a 2813 01:49:02,820 --> 01:49:00,400 lot of the same parameters are known to 2814 01:49:05,610 --> 01:49:02,830 better than 1% accuracy and it's better 2815 01:49:07,710 --> 01:49:05,620 than 99% residual errors are incredibly 2816 01:49:10,500 --> 01:49:07,720 small and that happen in the space of 10 2817 01:49:12,690 --> 01:49:10,510 or 20 years and that has ruled out 2818 01:49:14,730 --> 01:49:12,700 certain ideas that has honed others that 2819 01:49:16,710 --> 01:49:14,740 pushed new ideas to the forefront and 2820 01:49:18,150 --> 01:49:16,720 that's only sort of still building up 2821 01:49:19,710 --> 01:49:18,160 steam there new satellites and 2822 01:49:21,810 --> 01:49:19,720 incredible instance being launched and 2823 01:49:23,760 --> 01:49:21,820 designed all the time so in that sense I 2824 01:49:25,620 --> 01:49:23,770 think cosmology is a growth area I think 2825 01:49:27,450 --> 01:49:25,630 it's incredibly exciting we have these 2826 01:49:29,280 --> 01:49:27,460 stubborn questions like dark matter or 2827 01:49:31,110 --> 01:49:29,290 like dark energy like all the exotic 2828 01:49:32,970 --> 01:49:31,120 notions from Einstein's relativity we 2829 01:49:34,650 --> 01:49:32,980 still haven't fully explored and so 2830 01:49:36,930 --> 01:49:34,660 there's there's there's plenty of room 2831 01:49:38,730 --> 01:49:36,940 for really fun and intriguing stuff in 2832 01:49:40,500 --> 01:49:38,740 cosmology and that's just one area I 2833 01:49:43,560 --> 01:49:40,510 think I think lots of people would have 2834 01:49:45,510 --> 01:49:43,570 similar excitement you know around as a 2835 01:49:46,920 --> 01:49:45,520 nanotech or certainly quantum computing 2836 01:49:49,050 --> 01:49:46,930 or all kinds of areas within the 2837 01:49:50,970 --> 01:49:49,060 physical sciences well we have a new 2838 01:49:52,860 --> 01:49:50,980 telescope going up which I'm sure is 2839 01:49:55,080 --> 01:49:52,870 real exciting for you and your work the 2840 01:49:57,750 --> 01:49:55,090 James Webb telescope which would be kind 2841 01:50:00,960 --> 01:49:57,760 of the next generation Hubble what do 2842 01:50:02,550 --> 01:50:00,970 cosmologists in and astrophysicists what 2843 01:50:04,590 --> 01:50:02,560 are they expecting to be able to 2844 01:50:07,920 --> 01:50:04,600 determine that's new and exciting with 2845 01:50:10,440 --> 01:50:07,930 this incredible leap forward in space 2846 01:50:11,460 --> 01:50:10,450 born technology so a lot of time with 2847 01:50:14,490 --> 01:50:11,470 these satellites what you're worrying 2848 01:50:16,230 --> 01:50:14,500 about increasing resolution on the sky 2849 01:50:17,550 --> 01:50:16,240 how finally can you just can you 2850 01:50:18,150 --> 01:50:17,560 distinguish between the objects and 2851 01:50:19,830 --> 01:50:18,160 that's partly why 2852 01:50:21,480 --> 01:50:19,840 Hubbell was such an amazing leap forward 2853 01:50:24,150 --> 01:50:21,490 to be able to see things that that 2854 01:50:26,010 --> 01:50:24,160 simply had not been seeable before and 2855 01:50:27,600 --> 01:50:26,020 the latest version is like you say you 2856 01:50:30,750 --> 01:50:27,610 should should do that you know better by 2857 01:50:32,430 --> 01:50:30,760 factors 10 or 20 or 100 same thing with 2858 01:50:34,500 --> 01:50:32,440 these more cosmologically oriented 2859 01:50:36,240 --> 01:50:34,510 satellites as a plonk satellite named 2860 01:50:38,400 --> 01:50:36,250 for max o'clock you know the quality 2861 01:50:41,400 --> 01:50:38,410 revolutionary that's already in orbit 2862 01:50:43,230 --> 01:50:41,410 it's not it's not to reporting data yet 2863 01:50:45,090 --> 01:50:43,240 but it's taking data and that again 2864 01:50:47,610 --> 01:50:45,100 would do for understanding the very 2865 01:50:49,830 --> 01:50:47,620 earliest moments of our universe about 2866 01:50:52,410 --> 01:50:49,840 you know 10 to 30 times better than the 2867 01:50:54,420 --> 01:50:52,420 best we have today and as we start being 2868 01:50:56,490 --> 01:50:54,430 able to really say is this how the 2869 01:50:58,710 --> 01:50:56,500 universe began or is that and you can 2870 01:50:59,970 --> 01:50:58,720 really start distinguishing is that it 2871 01:51:01,530 --> 01:50:59,980 is saying well all our ideas are 2872 01:51:04,020 --> 01:51:01,540 compatible with what we can know because 2873 01:51:05,370 --> 01:51:04,030 we have fuzzed out data you really get 2874 01:51:07,500 --> 01:51:05,380 down to the nitty-gritty and you start 2875 01:51:09,330 --> 01:51:07,510 getting surprises well also there's a 2876 01:51:13,140 --> 01:51:09,340 possibility of actually optically being 2877 01:51:17,370 --> 01:51:13,150 able to to see extrasolar planets as 2878 01:51:20,160 --> 01:51:17,380 well with so X X or you know astronomy 2879 01:51:22,710 --> 01:51:20,170 the exoplanet stuff is incredible and 2880 01:51:23,910 --> 01:51:22,720 getting more so all the time that's you 2881 01:51:26,580 --> 01:51:23,920 know certainly aided by each of these 2882 01:51:28,200 --> 01:51:26,590 leaps in technology as well as you know 2883 01:51:29,520 --> 01:51:28,210 period these these things are you're 2884 01:51:32,100 --> 01:51:29,530 also a time machines these are things 2885 01:51:34,530 --> 01:51:32,110 appearing back in time of almost 14 2886 01:51:36,540 --> 01:51:34,540 billion years ago and we can still take 2887 01:51:38,430 --> 01:51:36,550 a like a Polaroid you can take a 2888 01:51:40,890 --> 01:51:38,440 snapshot of this baby universe and 2889 01:51:41,970 --> 01:51:40,900 puzzle over it that's pretty amazing so 2890 01:51:43,680 --> 01:51:41,980 we're not going to be able to see all 2891 01:51:45,240 --> 01:51:43,690 the way back to the Big Bang obviously 2892 01:51:48,030 --> 01:51:45,250 but we're going to get pretty close I 2893 01:51:50,970 --> 01:51:48,040 would think within probably less than a 2894 01:51:53,760 --> 01:51:50,980 billion years if if memory serves me 2895 01:51:56,120 --> 01:51:53,770 correctly I'm not I am no scientist 2896 01:51:59,270 --> 01:51:56,130 listeners do not try this at home 2897 01:52:02,130 --> 01:51:59,280 in fact we'll get back to to roughly 2898 01:52:05,130 --> 01:52:02,140 400,000 years after the Big Bang which 2899 01:52:07,530 --> 01:52:05,140 is say about 13.7 billion years ago it's 2900 01:52:10,320 --> 01:52:07,540 a long time 13.3 years oh yeah the big 2901 01:52:12,240 --> 01:52:10,330 concern here is of course how all this 2902 01:52:13,710 --> 01:52:12,250 cutting-edge research is being treated 2903 01:52:16,620 --> 01:52:13,720 especially now where we've reached the 2904 01:52:18,210 --> 01:52:16,630 point here where once again science 2905 01:52:20,370 --> 01:52:18,220 isn't getting the grants they used to 2906 01:52:22,470 --> 01:52:20,380 get we're so busy cutting spending we 2907 01:52:25,170 --> 01:52:22,480 don't think about the practical effect 2908 01:52:28,440 --> 01:52:25,180 well that's true and and it it is 2909 01:52:29,730 --> 01:52:28,450 worrying if there was you know I mean 2910 01:52:31,260 --> 01:52:29,740 there are budget battles all the time 2911 01:52:32,020 --> 01:52:31,270 our most recent budget battles have been 2912 01:52:34,360 --> 01:52:32,030 more severe 2913 01:52:35,680 --> 01:52:34,370 course than than average and you know 2914 01:52:37,390 --> 01:52:35,690 every now and then there are efforts to 2915 01:52:38,680 --> 01:52:37,400 cut whole wings out of the National 2916 01:52:41,290 --> 01:52:38,690 Science Foundation just close them down 2917 01:52:43,270 --> 01:52:41,300 for example and so far at least those 2918 01:52:45,040 --> 01:52:43,280 those battles have been more heat than 2919 01:52:46,750 --> 01:52:45,050 light and they were I think a lot of 2920 01:52:49,270 --> 01:52:46,760 kind of political jockeying but maybe 2921 01:52:51,130 --> 01:52:49,280 not a maybe not quite as serious a 2922 01:52:52,630 --> 01:52:51,140 threat as a scene but who knows and you 2923 01:52:54,190 --> 01:52:52,640 know these days the congressional 2924 01:52:57,190 --> 01:52:54,200 battles are just getting quite frankly 2925 01:52:59,130 --> 01:52:57,200 more more difficult to understand I'll 2926 01:53:02,350 --> 01:52:59,140 put it that way and just more and more 2927 01:53:06,010 --> 01:53:02,360 uncertainty so yeah I think it is a kind 2928 01:53:07,360 --> 01:53:06,020 of a difficult time now we're in a cycle 2929 01:53:08,950 --> 01:53:07,370 by cycle you know if you could if 2930 01:53:10,540 --> 01:53:08,960 they'll even be the foundation to apply 2931 01:53:12,130 --> 01:53:10,550 for your quick little you will you get 2932 01:53:13,990 --> 01:53:12,140 your grant but will there even be the 2933 01:53:15,910 --> 01:53:14,000 edifice there and again so far it's made 2934 01:53:19,180 --> 01:53:15,920 it through previous battles but it's 2935 01:53:22,630 --> 01:53:19,190 it's eerie stuff in your particular case 2936 01:53:24,700 --> 01:53:22,640 here and obviously you're teaching the 2937 01:53:27,160 --> 01:53:24,710 new generation the new generation of the 2938 01:53:29,200 --> 01:53:27,170 scientists the ones who will maybe 2939 01:53:34,150 --> 01:53:29,210 figure out whether we can get a handle 2940 01:53:37,180 --> 01:53:34,160 on time travel on unlimited power space 2941 01:53:38,950 --> 01:53:37,190 travel all this stuff do you find your 2942 01:53:40,530 --> 01:53:38,960 class is getting bigger smaller what 2943 01:53:43,300 --> 01:53:40,540 kind of things are we interested in 2944 01:53:44,620 --> 01:53:43,310 they're pretty big and I think they've 2945 01:53:46,930 --> 01:53:44,630 gotten pretty big and that's exciting 2946 01:53:50,410 --> 01:53:46,940 and these are you incredibly incredibly 2947 01:53:52,510 --> 01:53:50,420 gifted passionate you know students a 2948 01:53:54,550 --> 01:53:52,520 lot more energy and ideas that's and 2949 01:53:57,100 --> 01:53:54,560 that's a good thing and so you know I 2950 01:53:59,410 --> 01:53:57,110 think for example MIT graduated more 2951 01:54:01,690 --> 01:53:59,420 physics majors is here than we have in 2952 01:54:03,580 --> 01:54:01,700 something like 30 or more years so 2953 01:54:04,930 --> 01:54:03,590 that's clearly the trend is growing yeah 2954 01:54:10,570 --> 01:54:04,940 that's excellent 2955 01:54:12,880 --> 01:54:10,580 that's good news well one of these kids 2956 01:54:14,410 --> 01:54:12,890 what stuff what's you know I mean are 2957 01:54:16,630 --> 01:54:14,420 they jazzed by anything in particular 2958 01:54:19,060 --> 01:54:16,640 right now or is it just go discipline by 2959 01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:19,070 discipline by suppose I know there's a 2960 01:54:24,850 --> 01:54:22,010 lot of interest I am you know places 2961 01:54:26,860 --> 01:54:24,860 like India and China are producing just 2962 01:54:29,050 --> 01:54:26,870 amazing amounts of very very talented 2963 01:54:32,800 --> 01:54:29,060 scientists I mean you know obviously 2964 01:54:35,470 -->

3108 02:00:27,000 --> 02:00:24,250 that riddle me this is our knowledge of 3109 02:00:29,250 --> 02:00:27,010 the basics of science math are we 3110 02:00:31,260 --> 02:00:29,260 depending so much on the computers the 3111 02:00:33,899 --> 02:00:31,270 calculators that we've lost some of our 3112 02:00:36,089 --> 02:00:33,909 abilities David Kiser I put that 3113 02:00:37,500 --> 02:00:36,099 question to you you know I like most 3114 02:00:39,750 --> 02:00:37,510 things I think it's a mixed bag I know 3115 02:00:41,760 --> 02:00:39,760 many of my colleagues at MIT have 3116 02:00:43,350 --> 02:00:41,770 worried very very strongly about that 3117 02:00:46,020 --> 02:00:43,360 especially say in physics or mathematics 3118 02:00:48,120 --> 02:00:46,030 do our students losing a kind of feel a 3119 02:00:50,310 --> 02:00:48,130 kind of intuition for the equations or 3120 02:00:52,169 --> 02:00:50,320 for a magnet order of magnitude near you 3121 02:00:54,060 --> 02:00:52,179 if you're not doing a lot of hands-on 3122 02:00:55,919 --> 02:00:54,070 stuff do you just if it's all just on a 3123 02:00:57,479 --> 02:00:55,929 computer screen India the same you feel 3124 02:00:59,339 --> 02:00:57,489 for it and you know I've heard pretty 3125 02:01:01,560 --> 02:00:59,349 convincing counter garments that the 3126 02:01:03,390 --> 02:01:01,570 computers you know can open up so many 3127 02:01:05,310 --> 02:01:03,400 more things enable these students to do 3128 02:01:07,260 --> 02:01:05,320 in ten minutes what a PhD would have had 3129 02:01:08,970 --> 02:01:07,270 to you know spend a monster before so 3130 02:01:11,310 --> 02:01:08,980 you know like all things I think it has 3131 02:01:12,540 --> 02:01:11,320 the pros and cons certainly you know it 3132 02:01:15,839 --> 02:01:12,550 is the case that a lot of these students 3133 02:01:17,669 --> 02:01:15,849 are such computer wizard in a very very 3134 02:01:19,229 --> 02:01:17,679 powerful productive way that they can 3135 02:01:21,479 --> 02:01:19,239 just you know I used to joke that I mean 3136 02:01:23,339 --> 02:01:21,489 I've almost no programming skills at all 3137 02:01:24,750 --> 02:01:23,349 so I just hire you know an eighteen year 3138 02:01:26,250 --> 02:01:24,760 old to do it in ten minutes it would 3139 02:01:28,080 --> 02:01:26,260 take me a semester to figure it out so 3140 02:01:30,000 --> 02:01:28,090 certainly there's a great amount of 3141 02:01:31,709 --> 02:01:30,010 skill and real enthusiasm there that I 3142 02:01:34,140 --> 02:01:31,719 think it's a great good thing is that at 3143 02:01:35,640 --> 02:01:34,150 the cost of you know other ways or older 3144 02:01:37,350 --> 02:01:35,650 ways of engaging with the material maybe 3145 02:01:38,760 --> 02:01:37,360 but I'm not sure if a net loss maybe 3146 02:01:40,260 --> 02:01:38,770 it's different so we're still holding 3147 02:01:42,660 --> 02:01:40,270 our own out there in the world with all 3148 02:01:44,310 --> 02:01:42,670 these I think what China is graduating 3149 02:01:46,830 --> 02:01:44,320 why I figure out what the figure was I 3150 02:01:49,200 --> 02:01:46,840 think twice as many scientists basically 3151 02:01:51,390 --> 02:01:49,210 than we are I much don't quote me on now 3152 02:01:52,890 --> 02:01:51,400 and I I remember reading an article and 3153 02:01:55,439 --> 02:01:52,900 seeing the figure and just being like a 3154 02:01:58,169 --> 02:01:55,449 gas that it seems like this country is 3155 02:02:00,149 --> 02:01:58,179 slowly falling behind but like you said 3156 02:02:02,220 --> 02:02:00,159 you've seen a real upsurge in interest 3157 02:02:04,379 --> 02:02:02,230 in class sizes and right kids coming up 3158 02:02:06,029 --> 02:02:04,389 so maybe there's hope or we used to 3159 02:02:08,310 --> 02:02:06,039 continue falling further behind 3160 02:02:10,919 --> 02:02:08,320 well I think there is open you know the 3161 02:02:12,450 --> 02:02:10,929 numbers game is is only part of it what 3162 02:02:14,629 --> 02:02:12,460 are those numbers represent and again 3163 02:02:16,890 --> 02:02:14,639 there are you know a very world class 3164 02:02:18,629 --> 02:02:16,900 universities and scientists in China for 3165 02:02:20,009 --> 02:02:18,639 example now training great great people 3166 02:02:21,990 --> 02:02:20,019 but when you hear these numbers like 3167 02:02:23,609 --> 02:02:22,000 four hundred thousand new graduates this 3168 02:02:25,169 --> 02:02:23,619 year that year you know it takes a 3169 02:02:27,060 --> 02:02:25,179 little more effort to sort of unpack 3170 02:02:28,770 --> 02:02:27,070 what's the nature of that training what 3171 02:02:30,509 --> 02:02:28,780 are they doing with those skills just 3172 02:02:32,040 --> 02:02:30,519 handing out degrees or just counting 3173 02:02:33,450 --> 02:02:32,050 degrees I should say should be sort of 3174 02:02:36,750 --> 02:02:33,460 the start of that discussion and a lot 3175 02:02:38,339 --> 02:02:36,760 of times I think that becomes the end of 3176 02:02:40,350 --> 02:02:38,349 discussion instead and it actually 3177 02:02:42,060 --> 02:02:40,360 harkens back to similar debates we had 3178 02:02:43,350 --> 02:02:42,070 in this country during the Cold War 3179 02:02:45,509 --> 02:02:43,360 where this was the Soviet Union 3180 02:02:46,979 --> 02:02:45,519 graduating more physicists or engineers 3181 02:02:48,540 --> 02:02:46,989 than we were and if so with that you 3182 02:02:50,580 --> 02:02:48,550 know gonna mean Armageddon the numbers 3183 02:02:51,720 --> 02:02:50,590 can become pretty political and I think 3184 02:02:53,189 --> 02:02:51,730 there's other questions or additional 3185 02:02:55,169 --> 02:02:53,199 questions be asking as well so that's 3186 02:02:57,029 --> 02:02:55,179 where I again I I don't get quite as 3187 02:02:59,609 --> 02:02:57,039 nervous there are other indicators it's 3188 02:03:01,859 --> 02:02:59,619 certainly obviously the potential to raw 3189 02:03:04,109 --> 02:03:01,869 talent in places like China for science 3190 02:03:05,669 --> 02:03:04,119 is growing rapidly look at the number of 3191 02:03:07,109 --> 02:03:05,679 your highly cited articles of the 3192 02:03:09,089 --> 02:03:07,119 literature those things are growing very 3193 02:03:10,740 --> 02:03:09,099 rapidly so the other ways to say there 3194 02:03:12,479 --> 02:03:10,750 things are changing I don't think we're 3195 02:03:15,089 --> 02:03:12,489 gonna figure out out of the count just 3196 02:03:16,950 --> 02:03:15,099 yet we have to look also about what we 3197 02:03:19,560 --> 02:03:16,960 need to do in the future to encourage 3198 02:03:23,100 --> 02:03:19,570 this kind of research maybe cover more 3199 02:03:24,810 --> 02:03:23,110 about what these guys are doing today in 3200 02:03:27,299 --> 02:03:24,820 terms of their cutting edge developments 3201 02:03:28,740 --> 02:03:27,309 what are these guys up to now we kind of 3202 02:03:30,029 --> 02:03:28,750 talked a little bit about Jack Sarfati 3203 02:03:33,259 --> 02:03:30,039 and I think Nick Herbert but how about 3204 02:03:35,459 --> 02:03:33,269 the other members of your fund your fun 3205 02:03:37,200 --> 02:03:35,469 fundamentalist physics group characters 3206 02:03:39,359 --> 02:03:37,210 sure you know they they've traveled lots 3207 02:03:42,089 --> 02:03:39,369 of different roads so where they went 3208 02:03:43,529 --> 02:03:42,099 from Berkeley was a sort of revealing to 3209 02:03:45,180 --> 02:03:43,539 me and as interesting as what brought 3210 02:03:47,430 --> 02:03:45,190 them there so as one of them have 3211 02:03:49,740 --> 02:03:47,440 remained in sort of mainstream physics 3212 02:03:51,509 --> 02:03:49,750 so Henry staff has been a senior staff 3213 02:03:53,220 --> 02:03:51,519 scientist this whole time at the 3214 02:03:55,169 --> 02:03:53,230 Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory a 3215 02:03:57,390 --> 02:03:55,179 very well-respected kind of mainstream 3216 02:03:59,310 --> 02:03:57,400 scientist with broad interests and he's 3217 02:04:00,810 --> 02:03:59,320 not afraid to ask uncomfortable 3218 02:04:02,040 --> 02:04:00,820 questions about quantum theory in 3219 02:04:03,899 --> 02:04:02,050 consciousness but you know he's had a 3220 02:04:05,819 --> 02:04:03,909 paying job a publisher the right 3221 02:04:08,339 --> 02:04:05,829 journals he has a solid reputation 3222 02:04:10,109 --> 02:04:08,349 within the field you're John Clouser the 3223 02:04:12,569 --> 02:04:10,119 the experimental physicist who did that 3224 02:04:15,600 --> 02:04:12,579 very first laboratory test of Bell's 3225 02:04:17,279 --> 02:04:15,610 Theorem back in 1972 he also has done 3226 02:04:18,930 --> 02:04:17,289 he'll extremely well in terms of 3227 02:04:19,680 --> 02:04:18,940 reputation he just won is a prestigious 3228 02:04:22,050 --> 02:04:19,690 prize 3229 02:04:24,750 --> 02:04:22,060 year called The Wolf Prize in Physics he 3230 02:04:26,820 --> 02:04:24,760 shared with Anton Zeilinger and Ilana sa 3231 02:04:29,010 --> 02:04:26,830 from Paris and as often seen as a kind 3232 02:04:31,500 --> 02:04:29,020 of you know one step shy of the Nobel 3233 02:04:33,990 --> 02:04:31,510 Prize and really amazing and I think 3234 02:04:35,970 --> 02:04:34,000 very well deserved recognition on in 3235 02:04:37,350 --> 02:04:35,980 hand yet he's never had a regular sort 3236 02:04:39,900 --> 02:04:37,360 of academic position in physics this 3237 02:04:41,459 --> 02:04:39,910 whole time to this day he runs a very 3238 02:04:43,260 --> 02:04:41,469 sophisticated laboratory out of his 3239 02:04:45,780 --> 02:04:43,270 garage and he's able to get research 3240 02:04:47,340 --> 02:04:45,790 funding grants from nationalist suits of 3241 02:04:48,930 --> 02:04:47,350 health for example to do medical imaging 3242 02:04:51,390 --> 02:04:48,940 he's gotten happens and he's a brilliant 3243 02:04:53,790 --> 02:04:51,400 guy he's incredibly productive but he 3244 02:04:57,150 --> 02:04:53,800 had to make his own way you know others 3245 02:04:59,310 --> 02:04:57,160 still survive mostly or flourish on sort 3246 02:05:01,380 --> 02:04:59,320 of you know private donations I always 3247 02:05:03,270 --> 02:05:01,390 joke that they're like Galileo in the 3248 02:05:05,430 --> 02:05:03,280 Renaissance like the de Medicis will pay 3249 02:05:07,350 --> 02:05:05,440 them to have their very wealthy generous 3250 02:05:08,670 --> 02:05:07,360 patrons they'll do their their work and 3251 02:05:10,800 --> 02:05:08,680 will be on you know on someone else's 3252 02:05:12,930 --> 02:05:10,810 dime and and that's that's what a 3253 02:05:14,189 --> 02:05:12,940 private patrons model has worked yeah 3254 02:05:16,410 --> 02:05:14,199 for some of these folks for a long time 3255 02:05:17,880 --> 02:05:16,420 and others became best-selling authors 3256 02:05:20,010 --> 02:05:17,890 they were able to live off their kind of 3257 02:05:21,840 --> 02:05:20,020 royalties from the books that allowed 3258 02:05:24,060 --> 02:05:21,850 them to keep keeping up the flames going 3259 02:05:26,100 --> 02:05:24,070 keep the torch alive and so certainly 3260 02:05:27,930 --> 02:05:26,110 for Jeff Kapur you know has been I think 3261 02:05:30,450 --> 02:05:27,940 the most successful of an author of this 3262 02:05:32,100 --> 02:05:30,460 group he followed up the success of the 3263 02:05:34,470 --> 02:05:32,110 Dow physics with a series of other books 3264 02:05:36,120 --> 02:05:34,480 he's still writing still active and I 3265 02:05:37,800 --> 02:05:36,130 think some of those books became so 3266 02:05:40,380 --> 02:05:37,810 wildly successful that you know well 3267 02:05:42,810 --> 02:05:40,390 commercially that he was a kinda safe 3268 02:05:44,459 --> 02:05:42,820 spot and and you know Fred Alan wolf and 3269 02:05:46,979 --> 02:05:44,469 Nick Herbert have also been able to 3270 02:05:48,420 --> 02:05:46,989 basically stay afloat or more so largely 3271 02:05:50,070 --> 02:05:48,430 on the basis of their writing and the 3272 02:05:52,020 --> 02:05:50,080 two others became entrepreneurial to 3273 02:05:53,790 --> 02:05:52,030 start their own consulting companies one 3274 02:05:56,250 --> 02:05:53,800 of the founders of group George Weissman 3275 02:05:58,500 --> 02:05:56,260 actually began an import company for 3276 02:06:00,600 --> 02:05:58,510 Tibetan herbal remedies for a while and 3277 02:06:02,790 --> 02:06:00,610 that kind of thing so they've been 3278 02:06:05,760 --> 02:06:02,800 creative in other direction in the brain 3279 02:06:07,260 --> 02:06:05,770 brain tea yeah you know we all need some 3280 02:06:08,939 --> 02:06:07,270 rangy hey that's an interesting question 3281 02:06:10,920 --> 02:06:08,949 there about cutting-edge science one of 3282 02:06:13,560 --> 02:06:10,930 the things we're looking at some ways to 3283 02:06:15,540 --> 02:06:13,570 enhance our memory and not just to deal 3284 02:06:18,330 --> 02:06:15,550 with Alzheimer's and stuff like that but 3285 02:06:21,330 --> 02:06:18,340 enhance on memory kind of make the gray 3286 02:06:24,300 --> 02:06:21,340 matter more functional and some people 3287 02:06:25,650 --> 02:06:24,310 say there's only 10% of our brain power 3288 02:06:29,040 --> 02:06:25,660 now there was a movie out called 3289 02:06:31,790 --> 02:06:29,050 limitless where Bradley Cooper plays his 3290 02:06:33,709 --> 02:06:31,800 character that he takes this in Jack 3291 02:06:36,580 --> 02:06:33,719 chin and suddenly he's using 100% of his 3292 02:06:38,720 --> 02:06:36,590 brain power so is that real I don't know 3293 02:06:41,810 --> 02:06:38,730 I'd like to I like know where to get 3294 02:06:43,100 --> 02:06:41,820 them it's not like it meets on Planet of 3295 02:06:44,930 --> 02:06:43,110 the Apes movie as well might be pretty 3296 02:06:47,270 --> 02:06:44,940 similar in its premise at least that's 3297 02:06:49,790 --> 02:06:47,280 all about trying to deal with 3298 02:06:51,950 --> 02:06:49,800 Alzheimer's and a scientists tested on 3299 02:06:54,350 --> 02:06:51,960 the ape and that's the wrong thing to do 3300 02:06:58,250 --> 02:06:54,360 because rape is played by anti circus of 3301 02:07:00,140 --> 02:06:58,260 course is known as Gollum in rings 3302 02:07:03,260 --> 02:07:00,150 really is he was the performance artist 3303 02:07:03,979 --> 02:07:03,270 who actually created the first ape my 3304 02:07:05,680 --> 02:07:03,989 interested 3305 02:07:08,930 --> 02:07:05,690 well how about Cowboys and Aliens we 3306 02:07:10,100 --> 02:07:08,940 have you seen that yet gene or David you 3307 02:07:11,450 --> 02:07:10,110 know I have it I saw the preview only 3308 02:07:13,069 --> 02:07:11,460 they look like fun but I have attained 3309 02:07:14,959 --> 02:07:13,079 it it's interesting you know and you 3310 02:07:17,240 --> 02:07:14,969 pointed out to me that if you kind of 3311 02:07:19,459 --> 02:07:17,250 take an equation from what we consider 3312 02:07:21,439 --> 02:07:19,469 to be the time trade between the Big 3313 02:07:25,069 --> 02:07:21,449 Bang and now that some of the earliest 3314 02:07:27,770 --> 02:07:25,079 planets that Suns solar systems have had 3315 02:07:30,109 --> 02:07:27,780 about nine billion billion years to get 3316 02:07:32,330 --> 02:07:30,119 smart and to develop advanced 3317 02:07:34,430 --> 02:07:32,340 spacefaring technology well now he say 3318 02:07:36,200 --> 02:07:34,440 no no no here once you said okay so the 3319 02:07:38,240 --> 02:07:36,210 universe is high everybody the universe 3320 02:07:40,250 --> 02:07:38,250 is 13.7 billion years old give or take 3321 02:07:42,680 --> 02:07:40,260 we now know that the earliest stars 3322 02:07:45,169 --> 02:07:42,690 started to shine a fraction of a billion 3323 02:07:46,580 --> 02:07:45,179 years after the bang about 360 million I 3324 02:07:47,390 --> 02:07:46,590 think it was that David wouldn't know 3325 02:07:49,609 --> 02:07:47,400 for sure 3326 02:07:51,919 --> 02:07:49,619 it took us as Homo sapiens sapiens about 3327 02:07:54,140 --> 02:07:51,929 four billion years to get smart from 3328 02:07:55,640 --> 02:07:54,150 zero and so you put it all together with 3329 02:07:58,879 --> 02:07:55,650 the age of the universe you could say 3330 02:08:00,530 --> 02:07:58,889 that the oldest smart civilization and 3331 02:08:03,439 --> 02:08:00,540 that we could envisage would be about 3332 02:08:04,640 --> 02:08:03,449 nine billion years old and that's quite 3333 02:08:06,649 --> 02:08:04,650 an interesting number if you're 3334 02:08:10,669 --> 02:08:06,659 interested in UFOs and that sort of 3335 02:08:11,750 --> 02:08:10,679 thing is it not time to sort of get here 3336 02:08:13,700 --> 02:08:11,760 and back or something like that 3337 02:08:16,399 --> 02:08:13,710 or - I don't know totally manipulated 3338 02:08:18,080 --> 02:08:16,409 entire galaxies who knows the level of 3339 02:08:20,870 --> 02:08:18,090 technology that you could develop in 3340 02:08:23,359 --> 02:08:20,880 that that amount of time I think Michio 3341 02:08:28,459 --> 02:08:23,369 Kaku came up with a with a rating system 3342 02:08:31,520 --> 02:08:28,469 of sophistication and ability to I guess 3343 02:08:33,919 --> 02:08:31,530 impact their reality and go into the 3344 02:08:35,689 --> 02:08:33,929 rating system and the reality Kaiser 3345 02:08:41,010 --> 02:08:35,699 joins us Christopher Brian's the co-host 3346 02:08:41,020 --> 02:08:44,350 [Music] 3347 02:08:48,680 -->

exploring cutting 3452 02:13:14,000 --> 02:13:11,850 edges of science and what all those 3453 02:13:16,250 --> 02:13:14,010 hippies did I'm Jean Steinberg the 3454 02:13:20,330 --> 02:13:16,260 co-host is Chris O'Brien some question 3455 02:13:22,940 --> 02:13:20,340 here could we have today a group of 2011 3456 02:13:24,770 --> 02:13:22,950 hippies who maybe even now are trying to 3457 02:13:27,290 --> 02:13:24,780 figure out what science will be like for 3458 02:13:29,270 --> 02:13:27,300 the next 50 years I think we could you 3459 02:13:32,270 --> 02:13:29,280 know I in the book in the epilogue by 3460 02:13:35,270 --> 02:13:32,280 saying is I think there's a wider safety 3461 02:13:38,930 --> 02:13:35,280 net this time around and then then in 3462 02:13:40,400 --> 02:13:38,940 the 70s for for people for ideas or just 3463 02:13:43,040 --> 02:13:40,410 a little bit further from from 3464 02:13:43,910 --> 02:13:43,050 mainstream their whole Institute's 3465 02:13:46,970 --> 02:13:43,920 they're kind of brick-and-mortar 3466 02:13:48,590 --> 02:13:46,980 Institute's that are devoted to I didn't 3467 02:13:51,830 --> 02:13:48,600 like the foundations of quantum theory 3468 02:13:54,170 --> 02:13:51,840 quantum cosmology and all the rest there 3469 02:13:56,030 --> 02:13:54,180 are also the internet-based funding 3470 02:13:57,410 --> 02:13:56,040 agencies for lack of a better word so 3471 02:13:59,090 --> 02:13:57,420 they're not even face to face but there 3472 02:14:01,280 --> 02:13:59,100 are you know private donations that 3473 02:14:04,100 --> 02:14:01,290 going to be parceled out there's a group 3474 02:14:06,980 --> 02:14:04,110 called fqx I have fundamental questions 3475 02:14:08,780 --> 02:14:06,990 Institute and they give grants basically 3476 02:14:10,820 --> 02:14:08,790 you know modest size grants to people 3477 02:14:12,410 --> 02:14:10,830 some of whom are university professors 3478 02:14:14,330 --> 02:14:12,420 others of whom are independent scholars 3479 02:14:16,960 --> 02:14:14,340 is the kind of euphemism for folks on 3480 02:14:19,610 --> 02:14:16,970 their own and you know there's a way to 3481 02:14:21,410 --> 02:14:19,620 get that stuff to keep it keep the 3482 02:14:24,440 --> 02:14:21,420 people asking the questions to make sure 3483 02:14:26,600 --> 02:14:24,450 they're not really kind of lost and also 3484 02:14:28,100 --> 02:14:26,610 of course in the Internet age to to to 3485 02:14:29,660 --> 02:14:28,110 get the stuff to circulate so a lot of 3486 02:14:32,240 --> 02:14:29,670 garbage can circulate on the internet 3487 02:14:35,510 --> 02:14:32,250 there's no way to stop that but it's not 3488 02:14:37,430 --> 02:14:35,520 impossible to get ideas circulating and 3489 02:14:39,770 --> 02:14:37,440 bouncing off other folks and interacting 3490 02:14:42,530 --> 02:14:39,780 there too so I think I think there there 3491 02:14:44,180 --> 02:14:42,540 is room for groups like the one I wrote 3492 02:14:46,670 --> 02:14:44,190 about these days and they might not be 3493 02:14:48,110 --> 02:14:46,680 quite as have quite as hard a time as it 3494 02:14:50,630 --> 02:14:48,120 quite frankly you know getting resources 3495 02:14:53,000 --> 02:14:50,640 getting the word out finding meeting up 3496 02:14:55,490 --> 02:14:53,010 even if only in cyberspace with 3497 02:14:58,370 --> 02:14:55,500 like-minded folks and so I think I think 3498 02:15:00,860 --> 02:14:58,380 is I think I think that continues 3499 02:15:02,419 --> 02:15:00,870 as a question here hold on yeah there's 3500 02:15:04,010 --> 02:15:02,429 been a recent paper I wanted you to 3501 02:15:06,649 --> 02:15:04,020 comment on it if you possibly could in 3502 02:15:08,600 --> 02:15:06,659 on the fundamentals of quantum mechanics 3503 02:15:10,160 --> 02:15:08,610 and I do please excuse me I cannot 3504 02:15:12,110 --> 02:15:10,170 remember the full names of the authors 3505 02:15:14,120 --> 02:15:12,120 but there's a Stephanie axe very 3506 02:15:15,800 --> 02:15:14,130 attractive young lady from Australia or 3507 02:15:17,300 --> 02:15:15,810 everything it is and a chap from 3508 02:15:18,860 --> 02:15:17,310 Cambridge again his name I don't 3509 02:15:21,350 --> 02:15:18,870 remember and the title of the paper is 3510 02:15:22,910 --> 02:15:21,360 something like nonlocality in quantum 3511 02:15:24,800 --> 02:15:22,920 uncertainty in the century they found a 3512 02:15:26,600 --> 02:15:24,810 very deep connection this was published 3513 02:15:29,180 --> 02:15:26,610 only in the last three to six months on 3514 02:15:30,620 --> 02:15:29,190 our Heath whether it'll make it to face 3515 02:15:32,750 --> 02:15:30,630 rev D lettuce or something I don't know 3516 02:15:35,419 --> 02:15:32,760 but it was called mana locality and 3517 02:15:37,490 --> 02:15:35,429 quantum uncertainty relating nonlocality 3518 02:15:39,770 --> 02:15:37,500 to Heisenberg's uncertainty you know 3519 02:15:41,240 --> 02:15:39,780 it's a very deep result which seems to 3520 02:15:42,890 --> 02:15:41,250 have been well received though I wonder 3521 02:15:44,270 --> 02:15:42,900 if you would comment on it do you think 3522 02:15:47,140 --> 02:15:44,280 it's pushed the the field of 3523 02:15:49,700 --> 02:15:47,150 understanding the the roots of quantum 3524 02:15:51,410 --> 02:15:49,710 mechanics further forward for us if 3525 02:15:53,180 --> 02:15:51,420 you're familiar with it well 3526 02:15:55,100 --> 02:15:53,190 unfortunately I don't know this paper in 3527 02:15:57,410 --> 02:15:55,110 particular sigh I can't say either way 3528 02:15:59,209 --> 02:15:57,420 but it certainly is an example of this 3529 02:16:02,030 --> 02:15:59,219 notion there are now lots and lots of 3530 02:16:03,680 --> 02:16:02,040 people all over the world who are you 3531 02:16:05,510 --> 02:16:03,690 know concerned as members of this group 3532 02:16:07,220 --> 02:16:05,520 that I write about we're concerned in 3533 02:16:08,810 --> 02:16:07,230 the past with this sort of deep 3534 02:16:11,540 --> 02:16:08,820 structure the deep foundations of 3535 02:16:13,160 --> 02:16:11,550 quantum theory and now adays you know 3536 02:16:14,419 --> 02:16:13,170 there it one can get those papers 3537 02:16:15,860 --> 02:16:14,429 published more readily they can 3538 02:16:17,390 --> 02:16:15,870 circulate pretty easily so I don't know 3539 02:16:18,979 --> 02:16:17,400 this particular one but it's an example 3540 02:16:20,720 --> 02:16:18,989 of that kind of activity that they 3541 02:16:22,879 --> 02:16:20,730 really have the kind of foothold back at 3542 02:16:26,810 --> 02:16:22,889 the table again it's no longer kind of 3543 02:16:27,950 --> 02:16:26,820 laughed out of court you know it almost 3544 02:16:29,959 --> 02:16:27,960 sounds like we're getting to a point 3545 02:16:33,410 --> 02:16:29,969 where we're starting to see unification 3546 02:16:36,350 --> 02:16:33,420 of theories that tend to be and then 3547 02:16:37,940 --> 02:16:36,360 almost like we're reweaving the the 3548 02:16:39,770 --> 02:16:37,950 strands of the rope and we're starting 3549 02:16:42,889 --> 02:16:39,780 to really get closer to some fundamental 3550 02:16:44,839 --> 02:16:42,899 fundamental science at the core you know 3551 02:16:48,620 --> 02:16:44,849 the connecting point between a lot of 3552 02:16:50,270 --> 02:16:48,630 these these questions and you know just 3553 02:16:51,620 --> 02:16:50,280 the whole idea of this urn 3554 02:16:54,650 --> 02:16:51,630 project and the Large Hadron Collider 3555 02:16:55,759 --> 02:16:54,660 and the success that they've had I think 3556 02:16:58,850 --> 02:16:55,769 now they're going to go up to full power 3557 02:17:00,259 --> 02:16:58,860 if I'm not mistaken I think you gotta be 3558 02:17:03,290 --> 02:17:00,269 in about a year 3559 02:17:06,379 --> 02:17:03,300 what any ideas what we could expect from 3560 02:17:09,379 --> 02:17:06,389 a full power test and of colliding 3561 02:17:11,719 --> 02:17:09,389 particles at CERN well I mean so again 3562 02:17:13,940 --> 02:17:11,729 one is certainly to be hoped for is 3563 02:17:16,190 --> 02:17:13,950 really definitive evidence if it's to be 3564 02:17:17,959 --> 02:17:16,200 had for this Higgs boson all we talked 3565 02:17:21,140 --> 02:17:17,969 about before this one sort of missing 3566 02:17:23,660 --> 02:17:21,150 characters one central but yet as yet 3567 02:17:26,000 --> 02:17:23,670 unseen piece of the puzzle in how the 3568 02:17:30,230 --> 02:17:26,010 mira matter goes together i'm so-called 3569 02:17:32,509 --> 02:17:30,240 yes so so that is i say pretty likely to 3570 02:17:35,419 --> 02:17:32,519 be hoped for development and then you 3571 02:17:37,429 --> 02:17:35,429 know it's all kinds of things so it 3572 02:17:40,870 --> 02:17:37,439 could be there are reasons to suspect 3573 02:17:43,520 --> 02:17:40,880 that one might be able to catch real 3574 02:17:45,110 --> 02:17:43,530 glance real evidence for extra 3575 02:17:46,850 --> 02:17:45,120 dimensions through exotic ways that 3576 02:17:49,129 --> 02:17:46,860 particles would behave momenta would be 3577 02:17:51,560 --> 02:17:49,139 measured and so on in these exotic 3578 02:17:53,780 --> 02:17:51,570 interactions so all of a sudden the LHC 3579 02:17:55,879 --> 02:17:53,790 could it's a long shop is not impossible 3580 02:17:58,129 --> 02:17:55,889 could be telling us about you know the 3581 02:17:59,540 --> 02:17:58,139 the most basic structure spacetime even 3582 02:18:02,540 --> 02:17:59,550 beyond the sort of little particles that 3583 02:18:04,040 --> 02:18:02,550 dance around within it or in an exciting 3584 02:18:06,379 --> 02:18:04,050 but maybe a little bit more mundane way 3585 02:18:08,390 --> 02:18:06,389 it could hopefully be finding candidates 3586 02:18:09,620 --> 02:18:08,400 for this dark matter stuff particles of 3587 02:18:11,509 --> 02:18:09,630 the sort we've never seen before 3588 02:18:13,400 --> 02:18:11,519 perhaps cuz you never were looking at 3589 02:18:16,870 --> 02:18:13,410 the right energy scale until we're able 3590 02:18:19,790 --> 02:18:16,880 to now or signs or other kind of exotic 3591 02:18:21,589 --> 02:18:19,800 symmetries or notions about how what 3592 02:18:23,509 --> 02:18:21,599 governs these these subatomic forces 3593 02:18:25,490 --> 02:18:23,519 that have so far really only been 3594 02:18:28,009 --> 02:18:25,500 hypothesized there's been no solid 3595 02:18:29,929 --> 02:18:28,019 evidence really either way for often for 3596 02:18:31,790 --> 02:18:29,939 decades and so a lot of people are 3597 02:18:32,900 --> 02:18:31,800 excited saying we should no matter what 3598 02:18:35,419 --> 02:18:32,910 we find it'll be new 3599 02:18:37,969 --> 02:18:35,429 it'll be beyond what we already know and 3600 02:18:39,799 --> 02:18:37,979 a lot of them could be hopefully could 3601 02:18:41,419 --> 02:18:39,809 be very you know very loaded pointers 3602 02:18:43,850 --> 02:18:41,429 they could say it's really this road and 3603 02:18:47,179 --> 02:18:43,860 not the other one for moving forward in 3604 02:18:49,549 --> 02:18:47,189 every era that we study science we kind 3605 02:18:52,040 --> 02:18:49,559 of think we've got it pretty well under 3606 02:18:53,780 --> 02:18:52,050 control now we know kind of what's going 3607 02:18:56,089 --> 02:18:53,790 on with the universe and then fifty 3608 02:19:02,060 --> 02:18:56,099 years later they seem like a bunch of 3609 02:19:06,379 --> 02:19:02,070 Neanderthals you know that's our gene 3610 02:19:08,419 --> 02:19:06,389 but pardon maybe maybe uh maybe homo 3611 02:19:11,660 --> 02:19:08,429 sapien not without the sapiens a peon 3612 02:19:14,000 --> 02:19:11,670 man wise the wise your being that we all 3613 02:19:15,830 --> 02:19:14,010 tend to think that we have a handle on 3614 02:19:19,040 --> 02:19:15,840 what's happening in science and then we 3615 02:19:21,980 --> 02:19:19,050 find something else that shows hey we 3616 02:19:23,690 --> 02:19:21,990 barely knew what was going on so do you 3617 02:19:24,679 --> 02:19:23,700 think there's a point where we could no 3618 02:19:26,719 --> 02:19:24,689 ever know 3619 02:19:28,939 --> 02:19:26,729 all that there is to know it's kind of a 3620 02:19:32,120 --> 02:19:28,949 simplistic question but one that people 3621 02:19:33,259 --> 02:19:32,130 do ask and I think the answer is no and 3622 02:19:35,509 --> 02:19:33,269 I think for the reason you were saying 3623 02:19:37,849 --> 02:19:35,519 before I mean I think you're right that 3624 02:19:40,069 --> 02:19:37,859 we have been I would say surprised and 3625 02:19:41,870 --> 02:19:40,079 maybe humbled maybe hadn't been humbled 3626 02:19:43,790 --> 02:19:41,880 enough given what we should have been 3627 02:19:45,319 --> 02:19:43,800 you know tied like it's a time to time 3628 02:19:48,049 --> 02:19:45,329 again you don't have to go back all that 3629 02:19:49,399 --> 02:19:48,059 far so it's not often it's not only then 3630 02:19:51,199 --> 02:19:49,409 we find out we were wrong about 3631 02:19:53,090 --> 02:19:51,209 something we deep deeply believed in 3632 02:19:54,199 --> 02:19:53,100 dearly held but then most of what we 3633 02:19:55,910 --> 02:19:54,209 were worried about was sort of becomes 3634 02:19:57,290 --> 02:19:55,920 irrelevant I mean it's not neither right 3635 02:19:59,239 --> 02:19:57,300 nor wrong so much as a different the 3636 02:20:01,309 --> 02:19:59,249 wrong question to be asking it's that 3637 02:20:04,460 --> 02:20:01,319 kind of upheaval that really does happen 3638 02:20:06,380 --> 02:20:04,470 it happens every few decades if not you 3639 02:20:09,319 --> 02:20:06,390 know century is that kind of scale at 3640 02:20:10,729 --> 02:20:09,329 the very least and you know on the one 3641 02:20:12,679 --> 02:20:10,739 hand that's incredibly exciting on the 3642 02:20:15,109 --> 02:20:12,689 other hand you say well what are we 3643 02:20:17,239 --> 02:20:15,119 worrying about so deeply now they might 3644 02:20:18,469 --> 02:20:17,249 turn out to be a non-problem nothing 3645 02:20:20,750 --> 02:20:18,479 will solve it it just won't even be a 3646 02:20:22,729 --> 02:20:20,760 problem anymore when seen from the 3647 02:20:25,250 --> 02:20:22,739 vantage point of some new later set of 3648 02:20:26,719 --> 02:20:25,260 ideas so yeah it's you know I wouldn't 3649 02:20:28,849 --> 02:20:26,729 want to be the one thing we look we've 3650 02:20:31,040 --> 02:20:28,859 got it we're done I don't think that was 3651 02:20:33,050 --> 02:20:31,050 ever gonna be a winning position that 3652 02:20:35,179 --> 02:20:33,060 one that reminds me of the the head of 3653 02:20:37,489 --> 02:20:35,189 the US Patent Office in the late 1890s 3654 02:20:39,080 --> 02:20:37,499 and the famous quote that everything 3655 02:20:43,639 --> 02:20:39,090 that can be invented has been invented 3656 02:20:45,019 --> 02:20:43,649 so I always wonder about the 6,000 3657 02:20:47,960 --> 02:20:45,029 patents that Apple and some other 3658 02:20:50,389 --> 02:20:47,970 companies just bought because they were 3659 02:20:52,429 --> 02:20:50,399 newly invented but I won't get into the 3660 02:20:55,370 --> 02:20:52,439 situation here whether patents are being 3661 02:20:57,679 --> 02:20:55,380 granted for trivial inventions or such 3662 02:21:00,080 --> 02:20:57,689 broad-based inventions that of course 3663 02:21:03,080 --> 02:21:00,090 anybody is in violation that gets to be 3664 02:21:05,779 --> 02:21:03,090 almost ridiculous but you know let's go 3665 02:21:07,399 --> 02:21:05,789 back since we mentioned Einstein and now 3666 02:21:10,819 --> 02:21:07,409 a lot of people looking to go beyond 3667 02:21:13,219 --> 02:21:10,829 Einstein and maybe he says yeah of 3668 02:21:15,290 --> 02:21:13,229 course the speed of light is supposedly 3669 02:21:19,010 --> 02:21:15,300 the maximum but we can find tricks 3670 02:21:23,960 --> 02:21:19,020 around that so after all these years how 3671 02:21:25,429 --> 02:21:23,970 good was Einstein's vision well I'd say 3672 02:21:27,949 --> 02:21:25,439 it was it was awfully good 3673 02:21:29,389 --> 02:21:27,959 and so I night it turns out was human he 3674 02:21:32,000 --> 02:21:29,399 was wrong a lot of the time like every 3675 02:21:34,849 --> 02:21:32,010 other human ever has been and I don't 3676 02:21:37,099 --> 02:21:34,859 think that's a great fault of his to 3677 02:21:38,120 --> 02:21:37,109 have to admit that on the other hand you 3678 02:21:42,020 --> 02:21:38,130 know 3679 02:21:43,639 --> 02:21:42,030 just about a century later or really you 3680 02:21:44,929 --> 02:21:43,649 know coming up on a century since 3681 02:21:47,450 --> 02:21:44,939 general relativity well over a century 3682 02:21:49,600 --> 02:21:47,460 since special relativity coming up on 3683 02:21:52,490 --> 02:21:49,610 the century in quantum theory I mean 3684 02:21:54,440 --> 02:21:52,500 we're still living in many ways in 3685 02:21:56,450 --> 02:21:54,450 Einstein's world and we still think 3686 02:21:59,179 --> 02:21:56,460 about things largely in ways that he had 3687 02:22:00,410 --> 02:21:59,189 encouraged or taught us to and there 3688 02:22:01,760 --> 02:22:00,420 aren't many other people for whom we can 3689 02:22:03,800 --> 02:22:01,770 sing that that's an amazing 3690 02:22:06,080 --> 02:22:03,810 accomplishment that we've been able to 3691 02:22:08,030 --> 02:22:06,090 find things in his ideas that he hadn't 3692 02:22:10,250 --> 02:22:08,040 even anticipated but that the structure 3693 02:22:11,840 --> 02:22:10,260 the you know the the fabric was there 3694 02:22:14,120 --> 02:22:11,850 and it's led us to discover even new 3695 02:22:16,940 --> 02:22:14,130 things that they were kind of latent and 3696 02:22:18,740 --> 02:22:16,950 you know it's he wasn't right about 3697 02:22:20,810 --> 02:22:18,750 every last thing no one is but but what 3698 02:22:24,710 --> 02:22:20,820 he gave us it has been well worth it 3699 02:22:26,630 --> 02:22:24,720 it's been an astonishing picture and I 3700 02:22:29,990 --> 02:22:26,640 think actually a very exciting one so 3701 02:22:32,000 --> 02:22:30,000 much to learn so little time David 3702 02:22:34,250 --> 02:22:32,010 Kaiser is our guests Chris O'Brien's the 3703 02:22:36,380 --> 02:22:34,260

02:27:12,570 --> 02:27:10,060 we're back one more session with David 3815 02:27:14,519 --> 02:27:12,580 Kaiser I'm Jean Steinberg the co-host is 3816 02:27:17,490 --> 02:27:14,529 Chris O'Brien Chris is your friend have 3817 02:27:20,040 --> 02:27:17,500 any more questions yeah and you David I 3818 02:27:22,290 --> 02:27:20,050 think you think there's a sort of a 3819 02:27:25,650 --> 02:27:22,300 paradigm that's rather a bit matter 3820 02:27:26,550 --> 02:27:25,660 about physics you know is it is physics 3821 02:27:30,179 --> 02:27:26,560 fashion 3822 02:27:33,740 --> 02:27:30,189 by that I mean this if you really widen 3823 02:27:37,889 --> 02:27:33,750 it out to extra dimensions found by the 3824 02:27:40,050 --> 02:27:37,899 LHC if you say that I have something 3825 02:27:42,389 --> 02:27:40,060 that's even deeper than a mean earth is 3826 02:27:45,090 --> 02:27:42,399 symmetry theorem which says that for 3827 02:27:47,719 --> 02:27:45,100 every conservation law there's a 3828 02:27:50,340 --> 02:27:47,729 corresponding symmetry principle 3829 02:27:52,410 --> 02:27:50,350 absolutely fundamentally deep thing to 3830 02:27:54,510 --> 02:27:52,420 say about the universe somebody comes 3831 02:27:56,250 --> 02:27:54,520 along next week and says well I can 3832 02:27:58,920 --> 02:27:56,260 actually go deep with an emmy noether 3833 02:28:00,450 --> 02:27:58,930 and say and say something much more 3834 02:28:02,429 --> 02:28:00,460 fundamental than that you know which 3835 02:28:04,229 --> 02:28:02,439 sort of like undercuts the what we call 3836 02:28:06,990 --> 02:28:04,239 the fundamentals and goes even deeper 3837 02:28:09,330 --> 02:28:07,000 and sets out a substrate upon which a 3838 02:28:12,000 --> 02:28:09,340 lot more things can be understood it it 3839 02:28:15,479 --> 02:28:12,010 renders Newton even more archaic it 3840 02:28:18,030 --> 02:28:15,489 renders Einstein passe and so forth 3841 02:28:21,300 --> 02:28:18,040 seems to me that we do have this sort of 3842 02:28:23,880 --> 02:28:21,310 fashionable aspect of physics which you 3843 02:28:26,309 --> 02:28:23,890 know is our current that zeitgeist of 3844 02:28:28,380 --> 02:28:26,319 general relativity and quantum mechanics 3845 02:28:31,050 --> 02:28:28,390 do you really think that zeitgeist has 3846 02:28:33,479 --> 02:28:31,060 got any sense of true permanence in a 3847 02:28:35,099 --> 02:28:33,489 large sense fast forward five hundred 3848 02:28:37,080 --> 02:28:35,109 years and look at the exponential rate 3849 02:28:39,750 --> 02:28:37,090 of the increase of knowledge do we 3850 02:28:43,110 --> 02:28:39,760 really believe the QM and GR will will 3851 02:28:45,330 --> 02:28:43,120 be around as as as paradigms in say 500 3852 02:28:47,010 --> 02:28:45,340 years - well it's a great question and I 3853 02:28:48,780 --> 02:28:47,020 think the answer is no but that's not a 3854 02:28:50,670 --> 02:28:48,790 reason for despair at least as I see it 3855 02:28:52,500 --> 02:28:50,680 and it you know we still teach our 3856 02:28:54,540 --> 02:28:52,510 students Newton's mechanics right that's 3857 02:28:56,519 --> 02:28:54,550 you know not 500 years since Newton but 3858 02:28:59,099 --> 02:28:56,529 several hundred and so we no longer 3859 02:29:01,950 --> 02:28:59,109 think the universe runs exactly as 3860 02:29:03,750 --> 02:29:01,960 Newton had taught us but the way of 3861 02:29:05,660 --> 02:29:03,760 analyzing things we can observe that 3862 02:29:07,860 --> 02:29:05,670 Newton had bequeathed is still 3863 02:29:09,920 --> 02:29:07,870 unbelievably helpful and powerful and 3864 02:29:12,750 --> 02:29:09,930 our newer ideas have to you know kind of 3865 02:29:14,130 --> 02:29:12,760 incorporate those results even as they 3866 02:29:16,349 --> 02:29:14,140 move beyond them and I think that is 3867 02:29:18,030 --> 02:29:16,359 likely to be what's gonna happen with 3868 02:29:19,500 --> 02:29:18,040 both quantum mechanics and general to me 3869 02:29:20,820 --> 02:29:19,510 I don't think either them is necessary 3870 02:29:23,040 --> 02:29:20,830 final word certainly general tivity 3871 02:29:24,900 --> 02:29:23,050 there all kinds of reasons from from 3872 02:29:26,760 --> 02:29:24,910 within the structure of general tivity 3873 02:29:27,929 --> 02:29:26,770 say this probably isn't everything right 3874 02:29:30,809 --> 02:29:27,939 this might be pointing to where it 3875 02:29:33,690 --> 02:29:30,819 itself might break down but any other 3876 02:29:37,920 --> 02:29:33,700 grand next grander more amazing you know 3877 02:29:39,389 --> 02:29:37,930 strange concoction it is likely to 3878 02:29:41,760 --> 02:29:39,399 incorporate at least the things that we 3879 02:29:43,530 --> 02:29:41,770 have really wrestled with hard about 3880 02:29:46,050 --> 02:29:43,540 Einstein's relativity so they those 3881 02:29:49,200 --> 02:29:46,060 might not be anymore the fundamental you 3882 02:29:50,940 --> 02:29:49,210 know a bedrock answer for why things 3883 02:29:52,889 --> 02:29:50,950 behave the way they do but it would be a 3884 02:29:54,240 --> 02:29:52,899 pretty good account for why they do and 3885 02:29:56,670 --> 02:29:54,250 might have a kind of underneath 3886 02:29:58,650 --> 02:29:56,680 reasonings matter that would on which 3887 02:30:00,240 --> 02:29:58,660 that would rest much like we'd say with 3888 02:30:02,670 --> 02:30:00,250 say Newton's laws today or Maxwell's 3889 02:30:04,950 --> 02:30:02,680 equations for electricity magnetism and 3890 02:30:06,450 --> 02:30:04,960 we still you know MIT students still all 3891 02:30:08,550 --> 02:30:06,460 the time will buy t-shirts with 3892 02:30:10,050 --> 02:30:08,560 Maxwell's equations on the front which I 3893 02:30:13,050 --> 02:30:10,060 love they was wearing to my class and 3894 02:30:14,250 --> 02:30:13,060 you know we'd say Oh max equations do we 3895 02:30:16,260 --> 02:30:14,260 now know about quantum theory and 3896 02:30:17,639 --> 02:30:16,270 electrons and charges things that the 3897 02:30:19,830 --> 02:30:17,649 makkal didn't even know about 3898 02:30:21,780 --> 02:30:19,840 and yet the equations are both worth 3899 02:30:23,099 --> 02:30:21,790 putting on a t-shirt and worth teaching 3900 02:30:25,260 --> 02:30:23,109 four semesters at a time because they're 3901 02:30:26,639 --> 02:30:25,270 incredibly powerful and that captured 3902 02:30:28,830 --> 02:30:26,649 something about the world you even if 3903 02:30:30,719 --> 02:30:28,840 they're not the final final word I mean 3904 02:30:33,660 --> 02:30:30,729 indeed I mean we have this incredible 3905 02:30:35,490 --> 02:30:33,670 checks and balances on web in place now 3906 02:30:38,490 --> 02:30:35,500 that just wasn't there a hundred years 3907 02:30:40,440 --> 02:30:38,500 ago so every new thing that we posit has 3908 02:30:43,349 --> 02:30:40,450 to pass all the tests that we've thought 3909 02:30:45,480 --> 02:30:43,359 of since that time and as we go on in 3910 02:30:47,700 --> 02:30:45,490 time would you not agree that the checks 3911 02:30:50,099 --> 02:30:47,710 and balances are very very good guide to 3912 02:30:51,840 --> 02:30:50,109 where to go next but I see also a dark 3913 02:30:54,630 --> 02:30:51,850 side to that do you not also that 3914 02:30:56,700 --> 02:30:54,640 perhaps it might be inhibitory and in 3915 02:30:58,769 --> 02:30:56,710 terms of making large leaves well I see 3916 02:30:59,940 --> 02:30:58,779 what you mean and so uh that was part of 3917 02:31:01,679 --> 02:30:59,950 what I was interested in in writing this 3918 02:31:04,800 --> 02:31:01,689 book actually you know when does the 3919 02:31:07,500 --> 02:31:04,810 mainstream rule out questions or somehow 3920 02:31:09,510 --> 02:31:07,510 you know who trey is not not question is 3921 02:31:11,130 --> 02:31:09,520 worth asking I think that's that becomes 3922 02:31:12,420 --> 02:31:11,140 dangerous I do think that's right or at 3923 02:31:14,429 --> 02:31:12,430 least you know I wouldn't want to see 3924 02:31:16,559 --> 02:31:14,439 that that can be overdone and that's 3925 02:31:18,120 --> 02:31:16,569 what I think groups like the one I wrote 3926 02:31:20,639 --> 02:31:18,130 about in Berkeley in the 70s you know 3927 02:31:23,040 --> 02:31:20,649 they were no longer beholden to those 3928 02:31:25,410 --> 02:31:23,050 kind of we might say fashions or the 3929 02:31:26,849 --> 02:31:25,420 opinions of the mainstream they carved 3930 02:31:29,330 --> 02:31:26,859 out this parallel universe and and and 3931 02:31:31,950 --> 02:31:29,340 kind of crawled back in that level of 3932 02:31:33,211 --> 02:31:31,960 the out-of-the-box thinking that I think 3933 02:31:34,591 --> 02:31:33,221 is better support 3934 02:31:36,421 --> 02:31:34,601 now than back then that's why I say 3935 02:31:38,730 --> 02:31:36,431 there's there's a wider safety net now 3936 02:31:40,861 --> 02:31:38,740 for ideas that are not necessarily in 3937 02:31:42,720 --> 02:31:40,871 that sense fashionable or going along 3938 02:31:44,131 --> 02:31:42,730 with what most people already believe we 3939 02:31:46,020 --> 02:31:44,141 have I think really good reasons to 3940 02:31:47,251 --> 02:31:46,030 believe what we do but let's not you 3941 02:31:50,551 --> 02:31:47,261 know lose sight of the fact that these 3942 02:31:52,711 --> 02:31:50,561 are likely to be upended or these could 3943 02:31:54,031 --> 02:31:52,721 be upended as well and so in that sense 3944 02:31:56,310 --> 02:31:54,041 I think you're right that there can be a 3945 02:31:58,171 --> 02:31:56,320 kind of taste question that that doesn't 3946 02:31:59,730 --> 02:31:58,181 smell like a good topic they'll work on 3947 02:32:02,011 --> 02:31:59,740 it and that I think could be a very 3948 02:32:03,901 --> 02:32:02,021 difficult situation to overcome for 3949 02:32:06,421 --> 02:32:03,911 young scientists start it out let me 3950 02:32:08,791 --> 02:32:06,431 just ask a fast question here as we're 3951 02:32:11,821 --> 02:32:08,801 getting to the tail end of this program 3952 02:32:14,430 --> 02:32:11,831 and that is false research we hear about 3953 02:32:16,741 --> 02:32:14,440 occasionally where people either claim 3954 02:32:19,711 --> 02:32:16,751 to have scientific credentials or don't 3955 02:32:23,310 --> 02:32:19,721 or they falsify the research they try to 3956 02:32:25,441 --> 02:32:23,320 take shortcuts how do you have checks 3957 02:32:29,161 --> 02:32:25,451 and balances in the system to overcome 3958 02:32:31,111 --> 02:32:29,171 this tendency you're right I would say 3959 02:32:32,730 --> 02:32:31,121 at least as much now as in other periods 3960 02:32:34,261 --> 02:32:32,740 from from anyway that it's hard to get 3961 02:32:36,390 --> 02:32:34,271 good measures on the frequency of these 3962 02:32:38,791 --> 02:32:36,400 things but there is reason to believe it 3963 02:32:40,591 --> 02:32:38,801 and we haven't you know licks at system 3964 02:32:41,911 --> 02:32:40,601 the part of I think we can understand 3965 02:32:44,220 --> 02:32:41,921 some of the motivations for why it 3966 02:32:45,451 --> 02:32:44,230 happens and those motivations are 3967 02:32:48,001 --> 02:32:45,461 probably not gonna go away anytime soon 3968 02:32:50,551 --> 02:32:48,011 it has to do with things like you know 3969 02:32:52,531 --> 02:32:50,561 talked about before well ego but also I 3970 02:32:54,060 --> 02:32:52,541 would say even more mundane difficulty 3971 02:32:57,121 --> 02:32:54,070 of getting research grants you know the 3972 02:32:58,621 --> 02:32:57,131 kind of rat race of trying to get get 3973 02:33:00,211 --> 02:32:58,631 your get the resources you need to ask 3974 02:33:02,251 --> 02:33:00,221 the hard questions there can certainly 3975 02:33:03,541 --> 02:33:02,261 be temptations to cut quarters that 3976 02:33:05,220 --> 02:33:03,551 specific copy that doesn't make it right 3977 02:33:07,531 --> 02:33:05,230 it also can make it pretty hard to catch 3978 02:33:09,421 --> 02:33:07,541 with people will say oh so I on peer 3979 02:33:11,761 --> 02:33:09,431 review peer review of course is fallible 3980 02:33:13,470 --> 02:33:11,771 there was a famous case from just about 3981 02:33:15,361 --> 02:33:13,480 a decade ago at Bell Labs or a young 3982 02:33:17,041 --> 02:33:15,371 researcher had to retract I think at 3983 02:33:18,720 --> 02:33:17,051 least 20 articles that were published 3984 02:33:21,211 --> 02:33:18,730 not just in any old peer-reviewed 3985 02:33:23,281 --> 02:33:21,221 journals but in science nature Physical 3986 02:33:24,961 --> 02:33:23,291 Review Letters the most prestigious most 3987 02:33:26,970 --> 02:33:24,971 carefully vetted Journal on the planet 3988 02:33:28,621 --> 02:33:26,980 and these were not one or two but I 3989 02:33:30,211 --> 02:33:28,631 think on the order of 20 of them that 3990 02:33:32,071 --> 02:33:30,221 were formally retracted something like 3991 02:33:34,081 --> 02:33:32,081 that so it's not a peer review is 3992 02:33:36,121 --> 02:33:34,091 important but if that's not the panacea 3993 02:33:38,520 --> 02:33:36,131 on it so I think you know we can 3994 02:33:40,261 --> 02:33:38,530 understand the part of the kind of 3995 02:33:42,631 --> 02:33:40,271 sociology behind on how it might happen 3996 02:33:45,291 --> 02:33:42,641 and you know quite frankly I don't have 3997 02:33:47,100 --> 02:33:45,301 a good answer other than you know 3998 02:33:48,810 --> 02:33:47,110 obviously peer review 3999 02:33:51,270 --> 02:33:48,820 be careful vetting and a kind of 4000 02:33:52,831 --> 02:33:51,280 openness and in datasets and all that 4001 02:33:54,450 --> 02:33:52,841 which might might go some part of the 4002 02:33:56,251 --> 02:33:54,460 way but it's I don't think we're gonna 4003 02:33:57,780 --> 02:33:56,261 lick it I think that's that's you know I 4004 02:33:59,430 --> 02:33:57,790 don't think is a huge problem I want an 4005 02:34:01,320 --> 02:33:59,440 exaggerated thing every it's behind 4006 02:34:03,301 --> 02:34:01,330 every corner but it's you know it's 4007 02:34:06,331 --> 02:34:03,311 there that hasn't gone away and by the 4008 02:34:08,791 --> 02:34:06,341 same token the availability of grants in 4009 02:34:10,410 --> 02:34:08,801 certain areas of research that kind of 4010 02:34:12,570 --> 02:34:10,420 precludes other areas unless there's 4011 02:34:14,671 --> 02:34:12,580 bunch of hippies sitting in a coffee 4012 02:34:17,700 --> 02:34:14,681 shop in San Francisco and thinking about 4013 02:34:20,581 --> 02:34:17,710 the future well I mean it goes back to 4014 02:34:22,501 --> 02:34:20,591 the question of fads and fashions and 4015 02:34:25,020 --> 02:34:22,511 you know there are kind of taste makers 4016 02:34:26,011 --> 02:34:25,030 in science believe it or not and so 4017 02:34:29,430 --> 02:34:26,021 you're right you want to make sure that 4018 02:34:31,770 --> 02:34:29,440 those are not sort of really cutting off 4019 02:34:33,331 --> 02:34:31,780 ideas or people who always have things 4020 02:34:35,940 --> 02:34:33,341 to contribute even if they might not be 4021 02:34:37,591 --> 02:34:35,950 in that same direction well what's in 4022 02:34:40,470 --> 02:34:37,601 the future for you I'm sure this book is 4023 02:34:42,120 --> 02:34:40,480 being well received and and do you have 4024 02:34:43,470 --> 02:34:42,130 any other books in the works or any 4025 02:34:45,421 --> 02:34:43,480 other literary projects that you're 4026 02:34:49,140 --> 02:34:45,431 working on or what's what's on your 4027 02:34:50,551 --> 02:34:49,150 event horizon though on the physics side 4028 02:34:52,110 --> 02:34:50,561 I'm indeed still working on the 4029 02:34:54,030 --> 02:34:52,120 cosmology actually trying to play with 4030 02:34:56,280 --> 02:34:54,040 an idea that might combine the Higgs 4031 02:34:57,780 --> 02:34:56,290 boson with a modification of Einstein's 4032 02:34:59,490 --> 02:34:57,790 relativity to understand the other 4033 02:35:02,041 --> 02:34:59,500 universe I don't think it's the best 4034 02:35:03,270 --> 02:35:02,051 answer it's it's intriguing and then in 4035 02:35:04,921 --> 02:35:03,280 terms of books you know there's a 4036 02:35:07,171 --> 02:35:04,931 project I'm working on that I've been 4037 02:35:09,001 --> 02:35:07,181 really enjoying it's a political history 4038 02:35:11,400 --> 02:35:09,011 of Einstein's gravity let's understand 4039 02:35:13,440 --> 02:35:11,410 general relativity like these hippies 4040 02:35:15,301 --> 02:35:13,450 has always embedded in times in places 4041 02:35:17,671 --> 02:35:15,311 the people who are spending their their 4042 02:35:20,190 --> 02:35:17,681 their lives studying it are you know 4043 02:35:21,450 --> 02:35:20,200 interrupted by war they're involved in 4044 02:35:22,950 --> 02:35:21,460 the Cold War they're involved in all 4045 02:35:24,390 --> 02:35:22,960 kinds of things and it's a way of 4046 02:35:26,810 --> 02:35:24,400 understanding heinous science and 4047 02:35:29,310 --> 02:35:26,820 context in a very kind of immediate 4048 02:35:31,680 --> 02:35:29,320 personal way and that stretches over 4049 02:35:32,520 --> 02:35:31,690 really the entire 20th century so that's 4050 02:35:34,650 --> 02:35:32,530 a book I've actually really been 4051 02:35:36,900 --> 02:35:34,660 enjoying as well another book on sort of 4052 02:35:38,430 --> 02:35:36,910 the politics of science policy and how 4053 02:35:41,400 --> 02:35:38,440 do we how do we handle things like 4054 02:35:43,171 --> 02:35:41,410 challenges from either the Soviet Union 4055 02:35:45,841 --> 02:35:43,181 or more recently China and India about 4056 02:35:47,430 --> 02:35:45,851 these numbers of degrees granted per 4057 02:35:49,410 --> 02:35:47,440 year and that kind of thing is there's a 4058 02:35:50,820 --> 02:35:49,420 how does that shape what we think 4059 02:35:52,650 --> 02:35:50,830 science should be like or what we want 4060 02:35:54,211 --> 02:35:52,660 to train our students to do so that's 4061 02:35:55,560 --> 02:35:54,221 another book that I'm shipping away an 4062 02:35:57,150 --> 02:35:55,570 excellent worthy worthy 4063 02:36:00,810 --> 02:35:57,160 topics 4064 02:36:02,850 --> 02:36:00,820 much luck in success in again if those 4065 02:36:04,679 --> 02:36:02,860 books are anything like how the hippies 4066 02:36:06,480 --> 02:36:04,689 say physics I'll be reading them that's 4067 02:36:08,850 --> 02:36:06,490 for sure I really did enjoy the book and 4068 02:36:11,940 --> 02:36:08,860 you know it was really kind of you to 4069 02:36:14,250 --> 02:36:11,950 come on a lowly paranormal show and and 4070 02:36:15,810 --> 02:36:14,260 talk some science and I was very 4071 02:36:18,060 --> 02:36:15,820 grateful to have Andrew Powe from in 4072 02:36:20,370 --> 02:36:18,070 here it was quite the scientist in his 4073 02:36:22,980 --> 02:36:20,380 own right and it's been a real pleasure 4074 02:36:24,929 --> 02:36:22,990 David and thank you so much for for 4075 02:36:27,150 --> 02:36:24,939 being on the show and I think gene will

of banter I'm sure 4079 02:36:35,820 --> 02:36:32,740 on the pair of cast forums which is 4080 02:36:39,630 --> 02:36:35,830 located at forum dr.
