Michael masters and he has he has a 6 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:50,460 very interesting idea of what UFOs could 7 00:00:57,650 --> 00:00:54,690 possibly be and as most of my longtime 8 00:01:00,139 --> 00:00:57,660 listeners know I have absolutely no idea 9 00:01:02,780 --> 00:01:00,149 what they are or what's in them if 10 00:01:05,830 --> 00:01:02,790 anything is in them at all and and so I 11 00:01:08,150 --> 00:01:05,840 loved hearing different ideas and 12 00:01:09,889 --> 00:01:08,160 exploring the different thoughts that 13 00:01:11,779 --> 00:01:09,899 people come up with it's really

about UFOs in his backyard and that's 26 00:01:44,450 --> 00:01:42,090 just in the area which he lives in the 27 00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:44,460 Long Island area and he involves a 28 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:45,840 number of people that actually have been 29 00:01:50,990 --> 00:01:48,210 on this show in the past and talking 30 00:01:52,490 --> 00:01:51,000 about you know what's going on over 31

00:03:43,020 --> 00:03:40,420 media blast kind of fervor around UFOs 72 00:03:46,190 --> 00:03:43,030 and it all dust high-back inhabits 73 00:03:49,470 --> 00:03:46,200 everything to do with unidentified 74 00:03:51,330 --> 00:03:49,480 America's UFO investigation which is the 75 00:03:55,470 --> 00:03:51,340 television show that is coming out on 76 00:03:58,410 --> 00:03:55,480 Friday that covers essentially to the 77 00:04:01,500 --> 00:03:58,420 stars as they investigate UFOs the main 78 00:04:02,849 --> 00:04:01,510 lead character in it is Louise Elizondo 79 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:02,859 it's a reality show 80 00:04:06,390 --> 00:04:04,690 of course he used to run the Pentagon 81 00:04:10,050 --> 00:04:06,400 program the advanced aerospace threat 82 00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:10,060 identification program a tip on so it 83 00:04:14,849 --> 00:04:12,310 also gets into cases that he looked at 84 00:04:16,979 --> 00:04:14,859 now this all started that the fervor of 85 00:04:19,319 --> 00:04:16,989 course all of this started in December 86 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:19,329 2017 when Leslie Kane 87 00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:22,090 Ralph Blumenthal and Helen Cooper wrote 88 00:04:26,310 --> 00:04:24,310 it this story about a tip and 89 00:04:27,930 --> 00:04:26,320 everybody's been really excited about it 90 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:27,940 but we haven't gotten a whole lot of 91 00:04:33,629 --> 00:04:31,090 information and that has mostly been I 92 00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:33,639 know for a fact because of this 93 00:04:37,830 --> 00:04:36,160 television show was an idea of how do we 94 00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:37,840 get this information out there for 95 00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:39,280 better or worse so a lot of people have 96 00:04:43,620 --> 00:04:41,440 criticized it but those of us who have 97 00:04:45,719 --> 00:04:43,630 seen the program like you and I Martin 98 00:04:47,190 --> 00:04:45,729 think that this this program is really 99 00:04:49,290 --> 00:04:47,200 good at least the first episode that 100 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:49,300 we've seen so this is how they decided 101 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:51,490 to release this information 102 00:04:55,589 --> 00:04:53,530 but people have been wondering what is 103 00:04:57,180 --> 00:04:55,599 gonna be in the shoe and there's been 104 00:04:58,650 --> 00:04:57,190 some interviews that we've all had to 105 00:05:00,900 --> 00:04:58,660 talk about what was in the show lose 106 00:05:02,790 --> 00:05:00,910 dropped hand said other cases are gonna 107 00:05:04,439 --> 00:05:02,800 be in there and of course when the New 108 00:05:07,890 --> 00:05:04,449 York Times article came out there was a 109 00:05:10,890 --> 00:05:07,900 video in there there were two flurry 110 00:05:12,629 --> 00:05:10,900 videos one of them from the 2004 Nimitz 111 00:05:15,629 --> 00:05:12,639 event the other one we didn't have much 112 00:05:17,850 --> 00:05:15,639 information then soon after to the Stars 113 00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:17,860 released a third video and there's a lot 114 00:05:22,770 --> 00:05:20,110 of debate over the last year or so and 115 00:05:25,140 --> 00:05:22,780 and the DoD really released these videos 116 00:05:29,370 --> 00:05:25,150 we do know that they did well this all 117 00:05:31,649 --> 00:05:29,380 hit another huge mate it's all making a 118 00:05:33,809 --> 00:05:31,659 big deal again right now because in New 119 00:05:37,469 --> 00:05:33,819 York Times well for a couple articles 120 00:05:40,529 --> 00:05:37,479 first the Politico they wrote Brian 121 00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:40,539 bender the guy working with Politico who 122 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:43,360 is actually in this new History Channel 123 00:05:50,430 --> 00:05:45,610 television show he wrote an article 124 00:05:52,140 --> 00:05:50,440 about the Navy making new guidelines Tom 125 00:05:54,510 --> 00:05:52,150 DeLonge they came out and said that to 126 00:05:57,260 --> 00:05:54,520 the Stars influenced getting the new 127 00:06:00,089 --> 00:05:57,270 Navy to make UFO reporting guidelines 128 00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:00,099 Chris Mellon them back him up a little 129 00:06:05,999 --> 00:06:02,889 bit later in an article with George 130 00:06:08,159 --> 00:06:06,009 Knapp and then some of us such as 131 00:06:11,159 --> 00:06:08,169 yourself and myself have spoken to one 132 00:06:14,730 --> 00:06:11,169 of the executive producers Anthony la 133 00:06:16,980 --> 00:06:14,740 Paix and he confirmed that not only did 134 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:16,990 these guys have you know an influence 135 00:06:21,029 --> 00:06:19,090 with the Navy but that is going to be in 136 00:06:23,370 --> 00:06:21,039 the show we're gonna actually see this 137 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:23,380 influence and see Lou Elizondo and the 138 00:06:28,649 --> 00:06:26,530 other to the stars guys working with the 139 00:06:31,260 --> 00:06:28,659 Navy to get all of this information out 140 00:06:33,570 --> 00:06:31,270 so on top of that there are also going 141 00:06:35,490 --> 00:06:33,580 to be some more exciting cases related 142 00:06:37,370 --> 00:06:35,500 to those other videos in the History 143 00:06:39,779 --> 00:06:37,380 Channel show and the New York Times 144 00:06:41,909 --> 00:06:39,789 finally you know what a year and a half 145 00:06:44,969 --> 00:06:41,919 later has done a follow up to their 146 00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:44,979 original I'd a tip article and this 147 00:06:48,990 --> 00:06:47,110 one's called their headlines are really 148 00:06:50,939 --> 00:06:49,000 weird actually both articles the 149 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:50,949 headlines are weird but the headlines 150 00:06:56,459 --> 00:06:54,130 and this is wow what is that yes pilots 151 00:06:58,260 --> 00:06:56,469 report unexplained flying objects I do 152 00:07:00,120 --> 00:06:58,270 agree about the headlines I thought it 153 00:07:00,629 --> 00:07:00,130 yeah the other one was Aurora's and you 154 00:07:04,350 --> 00:07:00,639 know 155 00:07:06,029 --> 00:07:04,360 but this has a couple more pilots that 156 00:07:09,749 --> 00:07:06,039 are coming forward about events that 157 00:07:11,820 --> 00:07:09,759 took place in 2014 and 2015 so they're 158 00:07:14,610 --> 00:07:11,830 talking about these UFO sightings and 159 00:07:16,649 --> 00:07:14,620 you know essentially I don't think these 160 00:07:18,659 --> 00:07:16,659 encounters that they're talking about 161 00:07:20,519 --> 00:07:18,669 here are necessarily as exciting as 162 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:20,529 flavors personal account 163 00:07:24,989 --> 00:07:23,050 however they are talking about more 164 00:07:27,239 --> 00:07:24,999 credible accounts where they're chasing 165 00:07:28,439 --> 00:07:27,249 essentially looking for objects that are 166 00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:28,449 showing up on radar 167 00:07:34,350 --> 00:07:30,960 one case that they talk about is really 168 00:07:37,649 --> 00:07:34,360 exciting where these two Jets are flying 169 00:07:40,019 --> 00:07:37,659 along when this jet and his wingman are 170 00:07:43,260 --> 00:07:40,029 about a hundred feet apart and some 171 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:43,270 object zips in between them and this 172 00:07:48,929 --> 00:07:45,250 actually was a pivotal moment this 173 00:07:52,649 --> 00:07:48,939 happened I think it 2014 or 2015 early 174 00:07:53,969 --> 00:07:52,659 2015 and up until this point they 175 00:07:55,890 --> 00:07:53,979 weren't sure what these objects were 176 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:55,900 that we're showing up on radar but once 177 00:07:58,709 --> 00:07:57,490 this thing zipped through in between 178 00:08:01,409 --> 00:07:58,719 them then they really took it seriously 179 00:08:03,510 --> 00:08:01,419 for two reasons one because they were 180 00:08:06,179 --> 00:08:03,520 getting close this was a near miss they 181 00:08:09,809 --> 00:08:06,189 could have been hurt and two because the 182 00:08:12,119 --> 00:08:09,819 object was a cube inside of a circle 183 00:08:14,459 --> 00:08:12,129 they described it as like a clear beach 184 00:08:19,350 --> 00:08:14,469 ball with a cube inside of it so it was 185 00:08:21,029 --> 00:08:19,360 extremely flipping odd Haven I said 186 00:08:22,889 --> 00:08:21,039 people have described it as kind of X 187 00:08:26,510 --> 00:08:22,899 file this title or rogue away from 188 00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:26,520 warzone wrote about how it's X file like 189 00:08:31,860 --> 00:08:30,310 because it's just so weird so at that 190 00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:31,870 point you know they took it really 191 00:08:37,259 --> 00:08:35,169 seriously and we've got a new story that 192 00:08:40,019 --> 00:08:37,269 came out just today the Washington Post 193 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:40,029 this is a great title of this article - 194 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:44,290 it's called essentially that UFOs are a 195 00:08:49,079 --> 00:08:45,610 big deal and now we can't 196 00:08:51,630 --> 00:08:49,089 he says UFOs exist and everyone needs to 197 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:51,640 adjust to that fact and what's great 198 00:08:56,460 --> 00:08:53,410 about this article it's a political 199 00:08:58,500 --> 00:08:56,470 writer and he says UFOs are not the same 200 00:09:00,780 --> 00:08:58,510 as aliens that we don't know what UFOs 201 00:09:03,660 --> 00:09:00,790 are there unidentified what's beautiful 202 00:09:05,430 --> 00:09:03,670 about that is all of us know that but 203 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:05,440 this has been a real hard sell this has 204 00:09:10,199 --> 00:09:07,930 been hard to educate the mainstream from 205 00:09:12,269 --> 00:09:10,209 mainstream media on that point because 206 00:09:14,009 --> 00:09:12,279 they always want to go to aliens so it's 207 00:09:17,669 --> 00:09:14,019 great to see him writing that and 208 00:09:20,819 --> 00:09:17,679 and just now I just posted some videos 209 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:20,829 that I got from history of interviews 210 00:09:24,809 --> 00:09:22,569 with these pilots that from that New 211 00:09:28,109 --> 00:09:24,819 York Times article and these are small 212 00:09:30,030 --> 00:09:28,119 clips about minute minute and a half of 213 00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:30,040 these pilots talking about these in 214 00:09:35,609 --> 00:09:32,110 calendars and these are clips from the 215 00:09:38,879 --> 00:09:35,619 show from upcoming episodes so really 216 00:09:41,369 --> 00:09:38,889 exciting stuff one other story to plug 217 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:41,379 my stories I wrote another story that 218 00:09:45,299 --> 00:09:43,569 just came out yesterday I know it just 219 00:09:47,759 --> 00:09:45,309 came out this morning and den of geek 220 00:09:49,259 --> 00:09:47,769 but this was centered around why Tom 221 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:49,269 DeLonge I think a lot of people are 222 00:09:54,929 --> 00:09:52,569 seeing the previews for unidentified and 223 00:09:58,319 --> 00:09:54,939 they see Lou Elizondo you know this 224 00:10:00,900 --> 00:09:58,329 career intelligence guy they show Chris 225 00:10:02,669 --> 00:10:00,910 melon who was you know worked 226 00:10:05,369 --> 00:10:02,679 intelligence with like the deputy 227 00:10:07,049 --> 00:10:05,379 assistant to you know national 228 00:10:08,669 --> 00:10:07,059 intelligence crazy working at the White 229 00:10:11,299 --> 00:10:08,679 House and the Pentagon and everything 230 00:10:13,889 --> 00:10:11,309 Steve justice a guy who worked for 231 00:10:17,220 --> 00:10:13,899 Lockheed Martin skunk works these are 232 00:10:19,230 --> 00:10:17,230 the guys who built the sr-71 so you have 233 00:10:21,389 --> 00:10:19,240 all of these very highly credible people 234 00:10:23,519 --> 00:10:21,399 what's with this rock star right in the 235 00:10:24,929 --> 00:10:23,529 middle of it yeah of course a lot of us 236 00:10:27,150 --> 00:10:24,939 know who have been following this and 237 00:10:28,949 --> 00:10:27,160 this is the gist of the article is that 238 00:10:31,139 --> 00:10:28,959 none of this really would have happened 239 00:10:32,789 --> 00:10:31,149 without Tom DeLonge and what's really 240 00:10:35,129 --> 00:10:32,799 funny as I wrote this article probably 241 00:10:37,439 --> 00:10:35,139 few three weeks ago but after this news 242 00:10:39,780 --> 00:10:37,449 with not just the Navy changing their 243 00:10:41,609 --> 00:10:39,790 guidelines with all of these Navy pilots 244 00:10:44,359 --> 00:10:41,619 coming forward and the mainstream taking 245 00:10:47,730 --> 00:10:44,369 this seriously and it all comes back to 246 00:10:50,609 --> 00:10:47,740 Tom DeLonge really Tom DeLonge this 247 00:10:52,859 --> 00:10:50,619 might have happened maybe in the months 248 00:10:54,900 --> 00:10:52,869 from now or years from now as people 249 00:10:56,999 --> 00:10:54,910 kind of came out but he was kind of the 250 00:10:59,280 --> 00:10:57,009 person who coalesced all this and 251 00:11:02,789 --> 00:10:59,290 brought everybody together and focused 252 00:11:04,739 --> 00:11:02,799 this effort and Tom DeLonge deserves an 253 00:11:07,470 --> 00:11:04,749 immense amount of credit for all of this 254 00:11:10,379 --> 00:11:07,480 yeah as long as he stays off like Joe 255 00:11:12,329 --> 00:11:10,389 Rogan show you know as long as he say he 256 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:12,339 still has some really crazy ideas and I 257 00:11:15,329 --> 00:11:13,689 don't know about you but I have a lot of 258 00:11:17,489 --> 00:11:15,339 people harassing me well what about Tom 259 00:11:19,859 --> 00:11:17,499 Tom said this and Tom said that and I'd 260 00:11:22,259 --> 00:11:19,869 say it's great but what Tom says we 261 00:11:24,179 --> 00:11:22,269 don't have anything corroborating what 262 00:11:26,579 --> 00:11:24,189 Lou says now we have a lot of government 263 00:11:27,990 --> 00:11:26,589 documents that have come out DOD at 264 00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:28,000 first kind of 265 00:11:32,970 --> 00:11:30,310 claimed that Lou was inaccurate and some 266 00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:32,980 things but it you know finally recently 267 00:11:36,990 --> 00:11:34,690 they've had to admit that no Lou was 268 00:11:39,870 --> 00:11:37,000 right about all of these things that a 269 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:39,880 tip was about UFOs that they did release 270 00:11:43,860 --> 00:11:42,490 the T videos so Lou has a lot of 271 00:11:46,950 --> 00:11:43,870 corroborating evidence 272 00:11:49,860 --> 00:11:46,960 all of these Navy guys have you know 273 00:11:52,020 --> 00:11:49,870 other pilots radar that they can back up 274 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:52,030 their claims so a lot of the more fringy 275 00:11:56,340 --> 00:11:54,010 kind of wild ideas that Tom DeLonge hat 276 00:11:57,990 --> 00:11:56,350 has have still really don't have any 277 00:12:01,920 --> 00:11:58,000 idea where he got some of those ideas 278 00:12:06,210 --> 00:12:01,930 but nevertheless this crazy rock star 279 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:06,220 guy is rockin through UFO world oh what 280 00:12:12,780 --> 00:12:10,090 a great title extra rock and I see the 281 00:12:15,420 --> 00:12:12,790 world there will be a song I'm you know 282 00:12:16,230 --> 00:12:15,430 it you kind of give credit where 283 00:12:19,260 --> 00:12:16,240 credit's due 284 00:12:21,990 --> 00:12:19,270 exactly and I think you know there's a 285 00:12:24,150 --> 00:12:22,000 lot of people that really really do not 286 00:12:27,570 --> 00:12:24,160 want to give Tom DeLonge any credit at 287 00:12:30,270 --> 00:12:27,580 all and I kind of get that the reason I 288 00:12:32,430 --> 00:12:30,280 kind of get that is because you know he 289 00:12:33,630 --> 00:12:32,440 comes out of nowhere basically and 290 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:33,640 there's people have been working really 291 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:36,450 hard you know perhaps their entire life 292 00:12:41,370 --> 00:12:39,370 trying to you know get some headway here 293 00:12:43,410 --> 00:12:41,380 I've been at it a couple decades have 294 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:43,420 yeah and lord knows how much money and 295 00:12:47,310 --> 00:12:45,610 he just kind of you know I don't want to 296 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:47,320 say he fell into it but maybe he did 297 00:12:51,810 --> 00:12:50,290 fall into it it kind of but you know his 298 00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:51,820 celebrity status he would have never 299 00:12:56,700 --> 00:12:55,510 gone anywhere really with with that you 300 00:12:58,740 --> 00:12:56,710 know well I think that you've got a 301 00:13:00,960 --> 00:12:58,750 great point there because in a way I 302 00:13:03,810 --> 00:13:00,970 think he did it's not just his celebrity 303 00:13:07,470 --> 00:13:03,820 status he was wise enough to go to the 304 00:13:10,740 --> 00:13:07,480 right place you know somebody keeps 305 00:13:12,870 --> 00:13:10,750 sending us notes but I think that the 306 00:13:15,030 --> 00:13:12,880 person who's sending us notes doesn't 307 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:15,040 have everything right but in a way they 308 00:13:20,340 --> 00:13:18,610 do I think that you know they're 309 00:13:22,260 --> 00:13:20,350 mentioning like how put off who's part 310 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:22,270 of the group which is true that helped 311 00:13:25,470 --> 00:13:23,650 put off as part of the group and has 312 00:13:27,330 --> 00:13:25,480 been very helpful kicked green it's 313 00:13:30,630 --> 00:13:27,340 worked in this field but the point being 314 00:13:33,630 --> 00:13:30,640 at robert bigelow a lot of this comes 315 00:13:35,790 --> 00:13:33,640 back to all of this group of researchers 316 00:13:37,620 --> 00:13:35,800 and very credible people who have worked 317 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:37,630 inside of government to make the 318 00:13:41,820 --> 00:13:39,970 paranormal serious to make people pay 319 00:13:44,180 --> 00:13:41,830 attention to the credible 320 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:44,190 all evidence towards different 321 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:47,170 paranormal aspects decades and now 322 00:13:54,180 --> 00:13:50,610 really with the help of Tom DeLonge and 323 00:13:55,980 --> 00:13:54,190 kind of a more of a coalescing and a 324 00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:55,990 team kind of atmosphere among all of 325 00:14:01,020 --> 00:13:58,090 these people and help from people like 326 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:01,030 Leslie Kane and Ralph Blumenthal who 327 00:14:05,070 --> 00:14:02,770 write these articles for the New York 328 00:14:07,170 --> 00:14:05,080 Times we've got this perfect storm 329 00:14:09,630 --> 00:14:07,180 situation where it's all coming together 330 00:14:11,190 --> 00:14:09,640 now with a History Channel show and 331 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:11,200 people are gonna have to take our word 332 00:14:15,060 --> 00:14:12,970 for it that the History Channel is good 333 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:15,070 show is good and I don't blame them in 334 00:14:18,870 --> 00:14:17,170 my review I wrote I could see how you'd 335 00:14:20,970 --> 00:14:18,880 be skeptical especially when History 336 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:20,980 Channel's doing ancient aliens and this 337 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:22,930 shows coming right after ancient alien 338 00:14:27,060 --> 00:14:25,330 yes but it's much much different than 339 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:27,070 ancient aliens and you can attest to 340 00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:29,890 that yeah I have only watched up ancient 341 00:14:36,150 --> 00:14:33,760 healing aliens a

yours well it all started when I was a 402 00:17:17,370 --> 00:17:13,539 small child I was about eight years old 403 00:17:18,990 --> 00:17:17,380 and overheard a conversation that my 404 00:17:20,309 --> 00:17:19,000 parents were having with some friends 405 00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:20,319 that were over at our house and I 406 00:17:24,360 --> 00:17:22,809 remember creeping down the stairs and 407 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:24,370 kind of sitting up on the stairs and 408 00:17:30,180 --> 00:17:27,010 listening and it was this crazy story 409 00:17:32,820 --> 00:17:30,190 about this glowing ball of light that my 410 00:17:35,789 --> 00:17:32,830 father saw a short period of time before 411 00:17:37,770 --> 00:17:35,799 I was born and described it as this 412 00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:37,780 glowing orb sitting across the horizon 413 00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:40,809 in a very dark part of Ohio in Amish 414 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:44,320 country and said it shot toward the 415 00:17:47,639 --> 00:17:46,210 truck him and someone a colleague that 416 00:17:50,430 --> 00:17:47,649 were riding along with him that night 417 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:50,440 both observed the same thing sat there 418 00:17:54,149 --> 00:17:52,330 for a little bit shot back across the 419 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:54,159 horizon hovered there for a while then 420 00:17:59,010 --> 00:17:56,770 went straight up and that that really 421 00:18:02,730 --> 00:17:59,020 piqued my interest and made me want to 422 00:18:08,159 --> 00:18:02,740 learn more about it well and did he ever 423 00:18:09,510 --> 00:18:08,169 try to you know tried to decide what he 424 00:18:11,669 --> 00:18:09,520 thought he saw I'm 425 00:18:15,390 --> 00:18:11,679 did he I did the actual of the word UFO 426 00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:15,400 actually come out you know what did do 427 00:18:20,130 --> 00:18:17,710 you think you saw yeah well I mean I 428 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:20,140 think he was really confused as as our 429 00:18:25,380 --> 00:18:21,850 most people that have an experience like 430 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:25,390 that he he did try to get some level of 431 00:18:30,650 --> 00:18:28,570 understanding what was really formative 432 00:18:33,270 --> 00:18:30,660 for me personally was that he got 433 00:18:35,430 --> 00:18:33,280 Whitley Strieber spoke communion and I 434 00:18:37,530 --> 00:18:35,440 remember seeing it up on the shelf in 435 00:18:39,870 --> 00:18:37,540 our living room and kind of had this 436 00:18:42,090 --> 00:18:39,880 mental image that I described early in 437 00:18:44,340 --> 00:18:42,100 the book is just kind of a chimpanzee 438 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:44,350 and early hominin form a modern human 439 00:18:50,460 --> 00:18:48,010 form and then this archetypal alien form 440 00:18:54,210 --> 00:18:50,470 with a big head big eyes small face and 441 00:18:55,770 --> 00:18:54,220 whatnot and this it sort of made me 442 00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:55,780 wonder if there could be some sort of 443 00:19:00,030 --> 00:18:58,330 phylogenetic evolutionary connection 444 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:00,040 there and that's that's what set me down 445 00:19:07,140 --> 00:19:03,490 this path but he really didn't talk 446 00:19:10,740 --> 00:19:07,150 about it much I remember actually having 447 00:19:12,900 --> 00:19:10,750 to ask him about it I think I was in 448 00:19:15,540 --> 00:19:12,910 college maybe a sophomore junior in 449 00:19:16,950 --> 00:19:15,550 college and sat down just just because I 450 00:19:20,190 --> 00:19:16,960 was really starting to look into this 451 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:20,200 more and wanted to get a take on his 452 00:19:25,799 --> 00:19:22,690 personal experiences but other than that 453 00:19:27,540 --> 00:19:25,809 little sit down we had many years ago it 454 00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:27,550 really wasn't something he brought up or 455 00:19:34,470 --> 00:19:31,510 or discussed willingly kind of took some 456 00:19:36,660 --> 00:19:34,480 prodding to get him to even describe his 457 00:19:38,250 --> 00:19:36,670 personal experience but I know he was 458 00:19:39,750 --> 00:19:38,260 certainly interested in trying to get 459 00:19:41,549 --> 00:19:39,760 more information because when you see 460 00:19:44,250 --> 00:19:41,559 something like that there's there's 461 00:19:47,130 --> 00:19:44,260 really no way to just ignore it I think 462 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:47,140 everybody it's a life-changing thing and 463 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:50,290 people really want some explanation or 464 00:19:53,970 --> 00:19:52,330 at least some answers for what that 465 00:19:55,860 --> 00:19:53,980 might have been yeah that's actually why 466 00:19:58,500 --> 00:19:55,870 I'm here you know was it really 467 00:20:01,470 --> 00:19:58,510 experience I had yeah what was yours it 468 00:20:03,660 --> 00:20:01,480 was a you know what's it's by most 469 00:20:07,530 --> 00:20:03,670 people sightings I have to tell you it 470 00:20:11,390 --> 00:20:07,540 was it was you know boring you know it 471 00:20:13,970 --> 00:20:11,400 was I was in basically in a hot tub and 472 00:20:17,610 --> 00:20:13,980 it's something caught my eye it was in 473 00:20:18,750 --> 00:20:17,620 Carmel Valley California back in 2006 474 00:20:20,549 --> 00:20:18,760 something caught my eye I've told this 475 00:20:24,060 --> 00:20:20,559 story number time so 476 00:20:26,789 --> 00:20:24,070 and listener bear with me here and so I 477 00:20:29,190 --> 00:20:26,799 looked up and it was it was sort of dusk 478 00:20:32,340 --> 00:20:29,200 you know wasn't really nightfall and I 479 00:20:34,470 --> 00:20:32,350 saw this perfectly shaped disc I would 480 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:34,480 say it's like probably the size of it's 481 00:20:38,669 --> 00:20:36,730 hard to say look like the size of a 482 00:20:41,580 --> 00:20:38,679 quarter I guess I don't know exactly how 483 00:20:46,950 --> 00:20:41,590 high up it was and it had like a light 484 00:20:49,950 --> 00:20:46,960 blue glow and no lights or anything and 485 00:20:51,029 --> 00:20:49,960 it just it moved and silently and that 486 00:20:53,340 --> 00:20:51,039 was the thing that freaked me out the 487 00:20:55,649 --> 00:20:53,350 most is like wow there's no noise this 488 00:20:58,499 --> 00:20:55,659 thing is you know not a single noise and 489 00:21:02,549 --> 00:20:58,509 then it just stopped and then went off 490 00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:02,559 in an angle toward Carmel I'm sorry 491 00:21:05,669 --> 00:21:04,809 toward Monterey so I I jumped out of the 492 00:21:07,379 --> 00:21:05,679 hot tub and called 493 00:21:08,940 --> 00:21:07,389 I didn't know what I didn't know if any 494 00:21:10,710 --> 00:21:08,950 reporting centers or anything like that 495 00:21:13,230 --> 00:21:10,720 never even dawned to me to look on 496 00:21:14,879 --> 00:21:13,240 online or anything and so I called the 497 00:21:16,769 --> 00:21:14,889 police department and said is anyone 498 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:16,779 else seeing this and I was put on hold 499 00:21:21,539 --> 00:21:19,330 for about twenty minutes and gave up so 500 00:21:24,180 --> 00:21:21,549 it's kind of a boring sighting there no 501 00:21:26,430 --> 00:21:24,190 I don't think so at all in fact it's I 502 00:21:28,649 --> 00:21:26,440 haven't seen anything so to me that's 503 00:21:30,749 --> 00:21:28,659 that's phenomenal it's a really great 504 00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:30,759 experience and a cool place to see it 505 00:21:34,289 --> 00:21:32,110 too actually this came from Monterey 506 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:34,299 last week I was there as part of a book 507 00:21:38,669 --> 00:21:36,850 tour I was on and so beautiful beautiful 508 00:21:41,549 --> 00:21:38,679 area oh isn't it yeah it was really nice 509 00:21:45,629 --> 00:21:41,559 I've lived out that way for I think it 510 00:21:47,369 --> 00:21:45,639 was nine years so um the the the thing 511 00:21:49,049 --> 00:21:47,379 I'm coming up with did your did you 512 00:21:53,249 --> 00:21:49,059 father actually see an entity of some 513 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:53,259 type no no just the just the light and 514 00:21:57,419 --> 00:21:54,610 it was the same thing there weren't 515 00:22:00,149 --> 00:21:57,429 lights on it he just he described it as 516 00:22:03,029 --> 00:22:00,159 glowing it's just not not radiating 517 00:22:05,039 --> 00:22:03,039 beams of light as they do when you look 518 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:05,049 at a bright light in the dark street 519 00:22:09,389 --> 00:22:06,610 light or whatever but just sort of a 520 00:22:13,399 --> 00:22:09,399 glow that I had yeah but no I don't 521 00:22:15,659 --> 00:22:13,409 think I don't think it was a any sort of 522 00:22:17,730 --> 00:22:15,669 presence of a being or any sort of 523 00:22:20,430 --> 00:22:17,740 communication or anything like that yeah 524 00:22:22,739 --> 00:22:20,440 yeah you know we're gonna be talking 525 00:22:25,259 --> 00:22:22,749 about time travel the possibility of it 526 00:22:28,649 --> 00:22:25,269 and this is what your book kind of I 527 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:28,659 believe the the basis of a possible 528 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:30,850 basis of it and you know as a kid I 529 00:22:34,390 --> 00:22:33,129 remember I used to I used to make a lot 530 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:34,400 of stupid jokes and one of them 531 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:36,530 was well we'll never invent time travel 532 00:22:40,390 --> 00:22:38,090 because we never see anyone from the 533 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:40,400 future but I think your book kind of is 534 00:22:44,650 --> 00:22:42,890 questioning that it addresses that 535 00:22:47,530 --> 00:22:44,660 specifically that was always Stephen 536 00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:47,540 Hawking's principle argument to is that 537 00:22:51,430 --> 00:22:49,130 because we're not inundated with time 538 00:22:54,550 --> 00:22:51,440 tourists it must mean that time travel 539 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:54,560 will never be possible yeah yeah one of 540 00:22:59,140 --> 00:22:56,690 the things up I was thinking about know 541 00:23:02,100 --> 00:22:59,150 what I wanted to tell you your your get 542 00:23:05,220 --> 00:23:02,110 your thoughts on this ISM I had an 543 00:23:08,620 --> 00:23:05,230 astrobiologist on this show 544 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:08,630 astrophysicists on the show a number of 545 00:23:13,710 --> 00:23:11,210 years ago and Jeffrey I just can't think 546 00:23:18,490 --> 00:23:13,720 of his last name right now and he said 547 00:23:21,370 --> 00:23:18,500 that him and his colleagues at NASA was 548 00:23:23,350 --> 00:23:21,380 a senior visiting scientists at NASA and 549 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:23,360 he said they would kind of talk you know 550 00:23:28,930 --> 00:23:26,330 quietly and one of the things you know 551 00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:28,940 about the possibility of you know space 552 00:23:33,100 --> 00:23:31,130 travel and all that and one of the 553 00:23:35,850 --> 00:23:33,110 things they you know that they kind of 554 00:23:37,690 --> 00:23:35,860 bounced off each other is that if a 555 00:23:39,910 --> 00:23:37,700 civilization can get through the 556 00:23:41,740 --> 00:23:39,920 bottleneck of Technology without blowing 557 00:23:44,410 --> 00:23:41,750 themselves up then they would be 558 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:44,420 traveling the Stars and this so I wanted 559 00:23:50,050 --> 00:23:47,570 to wanted to get your your feedback on 560 00:23:52,060 --> 00:23:50,060 that phrase yeah I mean that was a big 561 00:23:54,490 --> 00:23:52,070 part of the Drake Equation too I think 562 00:23:57,940 --> 00:23:54,500 one of the most important variables is 563 00:24:00,820 --> 00:23:57,950 El in his equation is how long does a 564 00:24:02,530 --> 00:24:00,830 civilization exist how how long can they 565 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:02,540 persist after they reached that point 566 00:24:09,450 --> 00:24:05,690 when they develop complex societies and 567 00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:09,460 in politics and economics and war and 568 00:24:15,310 --> 00:24:12,130 yeah it does seem like there would be 569 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:15,320 some sort of intrinsic bottleneck 570 00:24:21,100 --> 00:24:18,650 associated with that in looking at 571 00:24:22,780 --> 00:24:21,110 humanity on this planet and that is 572 00:24:25,540 --> 00:24:22,790 currently our only frame of reference 573 00:24:26,980 --> 00:24:25,550 since we don't have other visitors from 574 00:24:28,870 --> 00:24:26,990 other planets coming here and 575 00:24:31,330 --> 00:24:28,880 interacting with us openly and telling 576 00:24:33,670 --> 00:24:31,340 us what's going on on their own planet 577 00:24:35,350 --> 00:24:33,680 but here yeah we've been a very warm on 578 00:24:36,910 --> 00:24:35,360 green species for a long time and there 579 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:36,920 have been very peaceful societies 580 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:39,050 throughout history and prehistory but 581 00:24:43,870 --> 00:24:42,050 they tend to not last very long or have 582 00:24:46,210 --> 00:24:43,880 been driven to the outskirts by 583 00:24:47,950 --> 00:24:46,220 agricultural groups especially after the 584 00:24:49,810 --> 00:24:47,960 Neolithic Revolution 585 00:24:53,260 --> 00:24:49,820 the dawn of Agriculture and and yeah 586 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:53,270 ever since then we anytime as I tell my 587 00:24:57,970 --> 00:24:55,970 my anthropology classes anytime humans 588 00:25:00,130 --> 00:24:57,980 have developed technology to kill each 589 00:25:02,350 --> 00:25:00,140 other better that technology and those 590 00:25:04,300 --> 00:25:02,360 people spread very rapidly you see it 591 00:25:06,610 --> 00:25:04,310 with the Copper Age Iron Age gunpowder 592 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:06,620 age and now with the potential to 593 00:25:10,810 --> 00:25:08,570 completely wipe ourselves out or at 594 00:25:12,670 --> 00:25:10,820 least to really damage the human 595 00:25:14,140 --> 00:25:12,680 population and the earth that we live on 596 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:14,150 with nuclear war 597 00:25:19,180 --> 00:25:15,890 yeah it really makes you think about 598 00:25:22,930 --> 00:25:19,190 that and and contemplate how important 599 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:22,940 that might be what if we did create a 600 00:25:27,490 --> 00:25:24,970 true bottleneck both genetically 601 00:25:29,380 --> 00:25:27,500 technologically it set us back 602 00:25:31,330 --> 00:25:29,390 tremendously in all of the progress 603 00:25:33,070 --> 00:25:31,340 that's brought us to where we are today 604 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:33,080 I definitely think that's important to 605 00:25:37,810 --> 00:25:35,570 consider yeah yeah well we're right at 606 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:37,820 our break right now so we're going to go 607 00:25:43,270 --> 00:25:40,730 to a break and so hang in there everyone 608 00:25:57,420 --> 00:25:43,280 over at kera we'll be right back right 609 00:25:57,430 --> 00:26:04,979 race a race 610 00:26:10,769 --> 00:26:07,649 I'm not sure if you if race is there and 611 00:26:15,169 --> 00:26:10,779 brought us to break or not so we'll I 612 00:26:19,739 --> 00:26:17,399 it's the first time this has happened 613 00:26:24,239 --> 00:26:19,749 when in doubt when in doubt keep going I 614 00:26:27,509 --> 00:26:24,249 guess yeah yeah so no I think you know I 615 00:26:30,229 --> 00:26:27,519 think of a number of things and you know 616 00:26:32,369 --> 00:26:30,239 you've heard you know the fear of 617 00:26:35,609 --> 00:26:32,379 artificial intelligence you know I mean 618 00:26:37,559 --> 00:26:35,619 mm-hmm what that can do in the future I 619 00:26:39,599 --> 00:26:37,569 mean you know you could create a machine 620 00:26:42,149 --> 00:26:39,609 that says destroy the world and you know 621 00:26:44,099 --> 00:26:42,159 keep creating new machines to destroy 622 00:26:45,539 --> 00:26:44,109 the world and you know and then it can 623 00:26:48,689 --> 00:26:45,549 get out of control you know that's kind 624 00:26:50,729 --> 00:26:48,699 of like you know maybe that's a little 625 00:26:52,949 --> 00:26:50,739 way out there but I mean if well it's 626 00:26:55,259 --> 00:26:52,959 it's been a theme in so many science 627 00:26:57,659 --> 00:26:55,269 fiction films and a lot of times those 628 00:26:59,759 --> 00:26:57,669 are based in real fears real 629 00:27:02,219 --> 00:26:59,769 possibilities I could certainly see 630 00:27:04,019 --> 00:27:02,229 where where there might be the potential 631 00:27:06,599 --> 00:27:04,029 for that you think as humans we would 632 00:27:08,189 --> 00:27:06,609 tame it once it got to the point where 633 00:27:09,930 --> 00:27:08,199 it maybe that could potentially happen 634 00:27:12,299 --> 00:27:09,940 and a lot of it comes down to 635 00:27:14,669 --> 00:27:12,309 consciousness - and this idea of free 636 00:27:17,849 --> 00:27:14,679 will and there may be more to it than 637 00:27:19,739 --> 00:27:17,859 just the robots decide to do this but no 638 00:27:21,509 --> 00:27:19,749 it's it's definitely something who 639 00:27:23,669 --> 00:27:21,519 wasn't it I think Elon Musk 640 00:27:25,349 --> 00:27:23,679 just came out recently and yeah and 641 00:27:28,999 --> 00:27:25,359 warned us of that and a couple other 642 00:27:31,649 --> 00:27:29,009 high-level executives smart people 643 00:27:33,599 --> 00:27:31,659 certainly very intelligent and connected 644 00:27:35,189 --> 00:27:33,609 people so yeah when when people like 645 00:27:37,799 --> 00:27:35,199 Elon Musk say we should be afraid of 646 00:27:38,819 --> 00:27:37,809 that I definitely sit up and listen yeah 647 00:27:44,939 --> 00:27:38,829 yeah definitely 648 00:27:47,549 --> 00:27:44,949 yeah and and so if if one of the things 649 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:47,559 I have said many times on this show also 650 00:27:51,779 --> 00:27:49,690 when talking with people that have 651 00:27:55,139 --> 00:27:51,789 different ideas on you know what 652 00:27:57,889 --> 00:27:55,149 possibly could UFOs be I always say a 653 00:28:01,289 --> 00:27:57,899 lot of times that we often think in 654 00:28:03,599 --> 00:28:01,299 terms of human terms and it's so hard to 655 00:28:06,109 --> 00:28:03,609 and that that comes to everything even 656 00:28:09,029 --> 00:28:06,119 down to physics you know we think of 657 00:28:11,579 --> 00:28:09,039 well they can't get they can't get here 658 00:28:13,769 --> 00:28:11,589 from there because it's it is extremely 659 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:13,779 vast I mean it's you can't even 660 00:28:18,610 --> 00:28:15,890 comprehend the vastness of 661 00:28:20,919 --> 00:28:18,620 one star to another and all that so I 662 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:20,929 understand that but I also understand 663 00:28:25,810 --> 00:28:23,090 that we are we are thinking in human 664 00:28:27,970 --> 00:28:25,820 terms we're thinking of terms of what we 665 00:28:29,890 --> 00:28:27,980 know and and we don't know if everything 666 00:28:33,250 --> 00:28:29,900 has been thought of in physics it's most 667 00:28:35,919 --> 00:28:33,260 likely not so what are your what were 668 00:28:39,340 --> 00:28:35,929 your thoughts that kind of led you on 669 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:39,350 the path of possible time travel instead 670 00:28:45,789 --> 00:28:43,730 of visitors well I think you're 671 00:28:49,930 --> 00:28:45,799 absolutely right and humans have a 672 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:49,940 tremendous knack for anthropomorphizing 673 00:28:54,190 --> 00:28:51,770 things and ascribing human 674 00:28:56,110 --> 00:28:54,200 characteristics or I mean it's really 675 00:28:57,789 --> 00:28:56,120 all we know we can't sit down with 676 00:28:59,980 --> 00:28:57,799 dolphins and and have these 677 00:29:01,990 --> 00:28:59,990 conversations about dolphin points of 678 00:29:04,419 --> 00:29:02,000 view or chimpanzee points of view we're 679 00:29:06,070 --> 00:29:04,429 kind of alone in our intellect at least 680 00:29:10,060 --> 00:29:06,080 with regard to these higher level 681 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:10,070 cognition types of things but but for me 682 00:29:14,830 --> 00:29:12,770 personally the main thing was is the 683 00:29:18,580 --> 00:29:14,840 physiology the physical characteristics 684 00:29:20,830 --> 00:29:18,590 and looking at long term evolutionary 685 00:29:23,980 --> 00:29:20,840 changes in the hominid lineage and two 686 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:23,990 of the main changes that characterize us 687 00:29:28,870 --> 00:29:27,410 as humans and hominins which is just us 688 00:29:31,630 --> 00:29:28,880 and our upright-walking 689 00:29:33,190 --> 00:29:31,640 ancestors going back to the split 690 00:29:35,049 --> 00:29:33,200 between us and eventually what became 691 00:29:36,940 --> 00:29:35,059 the chimpanzee which was about six to 692 00:29:39,510 --> 00:29:36,950 eight million years ago when we shared a 693 00:29:42,820 --> 00:29:39,520 common ancestor but the two main changes 694 00:29:45,820 --> 00:29:42,830 have to do with our brains increasing in 695 00:29:47,890 --> 00:29:45,830 size and expanding laterally from the 696 00:29:49,810 --> 00:29:47,900 inside out but also forward and coming 697 00:29:51,850 --> 00:29:49,820 out over top of our eyeballs and in fact 698 00:29:54,100 --> 00:29:51,860 we're the only mammal that has that 699 00:29:56,919 --> 00:29:54,110 craniofacial configuration in which our 700 00:29:59,260 --> 00:29:56,929 forebrain sits right on top of our i/o 701 00:30:01,240 --> 00:29:59,270 orbits and the trade-off there is that 702 00:30:03,150 --> 00:30:01,250 our faces have to get out of the way it 703 00:30:05,860 --> 00:30:03,160 would be like it'd be like putting a 704 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:05,870 camper trailer on top of a Corvette and 705 00:30:10,570 --> 00:30:07,970 expecting that to work out logistically 706 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:10,580 it's just and it's the same thing with 707 00:30:14,409 --> 00:30:12,290 with cranial facial morphology you can 708 00:30:16,650 --> 00:30:14,419 see it very clearly in dogs as an 709 00:30:20,590 --> 00:30:16,660 example a Doberman Pinscher collie 710 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:20,600 versus a pug or a even a Rottweiler 711 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:22,370 larger dogs that still have those 712 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:25,610 retract faces and larger larger 713 00:30:30,450 --> 00:30:28,610 foreheads so over evolutionary time and 714 00:30:33,090 --> 00:30:30,460 especially more 715 00:30:35,250 --> 00:30:33,100 in recent human evolution the last 716 00:30:38,670 --> 00:30:35,260 800,000 years or so our brains have 717 00:30:40,860 --> 00:30:38,680 continued this increase in size but also 718 00:30:43,230 --> 00:30:40,870 a change in shape they've become what we 719 00:30:45,210 --> 00:30:43,240 as anthropologists call globular and 720 00:30:47,700 --> 00:30:45,220 increasing globular T where they become 721 00:30:49,950 --> 00:30:47,710 more rounded more balloon licker we 722 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:49,960 become more bubble-headed essentially 723 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:52,570 and our faces continue to get out of the 724 00:30:56,610 --> 00:30:54,730 way of this runaway brain and and it's 725 00:30:59,700 --> 00:30:56,620 it's not just that morphology but it's 726 00:31:02,640 --> 00:30:59,710 also given us this this evolution in our 727 00:31:04,830 --> 00:31:02,650 culture going back 3 3.3 million years 728 00:31:07,140 --> 00:31:04,840 ago with the advent of the first stone 729 00:31:09,210 --> 00:31:07,150 tools that set in motion this 730 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:09,220 accelerating rate of change in our 731 00:31:14,370 --> 00:31:11,530 culture and technology as well and the 732 00:31:17,310 --> 00:31:14,380 phones that we have any sort of 733 00:31:20,100 --> 00:31:17,320 machinery computers all of it is the 734 00:31:22,500 --> 00:31:20,110 direct descendants of those first stone 735 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:22,510 tools three million years ago so if we 736 00:31:28,230 --> 00:31:26,050 look at time and and and the sense of 737 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:28,240 deep time and human evolution both 738 00:31:34,590 --> 00:31:31,570 culturally and biologically you can 739 00:31:36,660 --> 00:31:34,600 really see this this consistent pattern 740 00:31:39,690 --> 00:31:36,670 these tenacious trends both in our 741 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:39,700 morphology and culture and projecting 742 00:31:44,910 --> 00:31:42,730 those forward you would get something 743 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:44,920 that very much resembles the most 744 00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:47,770 commonly described alien form or what I 745 00:31:52,260 --> 00:31:49,840 refer to as an extra tempest trail in 746 00:31:56,790 --> 00:31:52,270 the book replacing tear the Latin root 747 00:31:59,880 --> 00:31:56,800 for earth with Tom the root for time so 748 00:32:02,220 --> 00:31:59,890 so even even without making claims or 749 00:32:03,900 --> 00:32:02,230 speculating about what might happen if 750 00:32:05,730 --> 00:32:03,910 we did blow ourselves up and there was 751 00:32:07,980 --> 00:32:05,740 nuclear war and we had to live in space 752 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:07,990 or underground without even going down 753 00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:10,810 that speculative road just looking at 754 00:32:15,150 --> 00:32:12,910 the continuation of these same enduring 755 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:15,160 trends throughout hominid evolution into 756 00:32:18,780 --> 00:32:17,290 the future you would expect to get 757 00:32:21,450 --> 00:32:18,790 something very similar to what's 758 00:32:24,660 --> 00:32:21,460 commonly described in these reports of 759 00:32:28,650 --> 00:32:24,670 Close Encounters Wow well I just found 760 00:32:30,690 --> 00:32:28,660 out that we are we are on break no cage 761 00:32:33,780 --> 00:32:30,700 here hey but that's okay where this is 762 00:32:35,550 --> 00:32:33,790 that was moot no no that's okay 763 00:32:37,550 --> 00:32:35,560 it's all gonna be on YouTube and on my 764 00:32:41,260 --> 00:32:37,560 podcast so it's all good it's all good 765 00:32:44,590 --> 00:32:41,270 so but we're going back in about 766 00:32:46,780 --> 00:32:44,600 a half a minute from now so we won't 767 00:32:48,430 --> 00:32:46,790 we'll just we'll just continue on with 768 00:32:50,020 --> 00:32:48,440 the conversation that's all we can do at 769 00:32:53,020 --> 00:32:50,030 this point because I I wasn't prepared 770 00:32:54,820 --> 00:32:53,030 for that so I'll try to work some of 771 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:54,830 that back in at some points I do think 772 00:32:59,530 --> 00:32:56,570 it's important to understanding the 773 00:33:03,520 --> 00:32:59,540 argument yeah and and the the holistic 774 00:33:05,710 --> 00:33:03,530 aspects of the argument yeah okay so I'm 775 00:33:09,670 --> 00:33:05,720 just gonna break here for just a second 776 00:33:17,590 --> 00:33:09,680 race you want to con us back in race you 777 00:33:23,550 --> 00:33:17,600 there okay we're ready to go 778 00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:23,560 yeah we're ready five four three two all 779 00:33:30,370 --> 00:33:26,510 right welcome back my guest is dr. 780 00:33:35,500 --> 00:33:30,380 Michael masters and during the break we 781 00:33:38,170 --> 00:33:35,510 were talking about how the evolution is 782 00:33:40,930 --> 00:33:38,180 possible and can kind of just go since 783 00:33:43,450 --> 00:33:40,940 um since we didn't realize we were on a 784 00:33:45,070 --> 00:33:43,460 break here I want to repeat the same 785 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:45,080 thing right over again but can you kind 786 00:33:48,490 --> 00:33:46,610 of give like a nutshell of what you were 787 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:48,500 saying just so to catch the people up 788 00:33:54,310 --> 00:33:51,050 over there at kgr a radio yeah nope no 789 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:54,320 problem and in in instructing and being 790 00:33:58,810 --> 00:33:56,330 a professor we have to give cliff notes 791 00:34:01,150 --> 00:33:58,820 versions of things all the time so yeah 792 00:34:03,370 --> 00:34:01,160 the bottom line is the after we stood up 793 00:34:05,650 --> 00:34:03,380 right after we became bipedal about six 794 00:34:08,380 --> 00:34:05,660 to eight million years ago one of the 795 00:34:09,850 --> 00:34:08,390 main changes that results from that and 796 00:34:11,740 --> 00:34:09,860 I actually didn't mention this in the 797 00:34:13,720 --> 00:34:11,750 break so it adds new content to what was 798 00:34:15,550 --> 00:34:13,730 just mentioned is that our heads have to 799 00:34:18,550 --> 00:34:15,560 rotate down in order to see where we're 800 00:34:20,050 --> 00:34:18,560 going our heads have to come forward to 801 00:34:22,660 --> 00:34:20,060 keep our eyes in line with the horizon 802 00:34:25,420 --> 00:34:22,670 and quadrupedal animals don't have that 803 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:25,430 requirement hmm so we stood upright our 804 00:34:29,740 --> 00:34:27,410 heads rotate it down and that created a 805 00:34:31,570 --> 00:34:29,750 flexing of our cranial base so the 806 00:34:33,820 --> 00:34:31,580 anterior cranial base that area where 807 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:33,830 the forebrain sits right on top of the 808 00:34:38,740 --> 00:34:36,530 eye orbits came down and the foramen 809 00:34:40,450 --> 00:34:38,750 magnum the big hole where our spinal 810 00:34:42,730 --> 00:34:40,460 cord passes to connect with our brain 811 00:34:44,740 --> 00:34:42,740 rotated downward and forward in 812 00:34:46,870 --> 00:34:44,750 association with their heads rotating 813 00:34:49,930 --> 00:34:46,880 down and that really more than anything 814 00:34:51,610 --> 00:34:49,940 else is a big part of why we grew such 815 00:34:53,230 --> 00:34:51,620 large brains in the first place that 816 00:34:55,180 --> 00:34:53,240 created what's called cranial flexing 817 00:34:57,099 --> 00:34:55,190 you can think of bending two ends of a 818 00:34:59,530 --> 00:34:57,109 slinky down toward each other it creates 819 00:35:01,180 --> 00:34:59,540 this bowing on the top and this more 820 00:35:03,130 --> 00:35:01,190 bulbous characteristic that is 821 00:35:06,460 --> 00:35:03,140 essentially what our brains look like so 822 00:35:08,829 --> 00:35:06,470 beyond any of the other changes that 823 00:35:10,930 --> 00:35:08,839 took place in hominid evolution really 824 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:10,940 just standing upright was a big catalyst 825 00:35:15,130 --> 00:35:12,770 for the development of these larger 826 00:35:16,990 --> 00:35:15,140 brains more retracted faces more 827 00:35:19,240 --> 00:35:17,000 intelligence you certainly have to add 828 00:35:21,609 --> 00:35:19,250 to that the free use of our hands we're 829 00:35:23,380 --> 00:35:21,619 not using our our arms and our hands to 830 00:35:25,359 --> 00:35:23,390 walk around anymore rather we can use 831 00:35:27,910 --> 00:35:25,369 them to make tools and and to 832 00:35:29,829 --> 00:35:27,920 communicate and to do things that we 833 00:35:32,309 --> 00:35:29,839 couldn't do if they're burdened with 834 00:35:34,780 --> 00:35:32,319 locomotion so really standing upright 835 00:35:37,569 --> 00:35:34,790 set in motion a number of important 836 00:35:41,380 --> 00:35:37,579 changes that really contributed to the 837 00:35:43,359 --> 00:35:41,390 uniqueness of modern humans and a lot of 838 00:35:45,940 --> 00:35:43,369 the unique traits of our ancestors as 839 00:35:48,250 --> 00:35:45,950 well now I know I understand I've read 840 00:35:50,530 --> 00:35:48,260 quite a bit just from my own interest 841 00:35:52,660 --> 00:35:50,540 and you know Neanderthals and now 842 00:35:53,980 --> 00:35:52,670 they're you know with recent discoveries 843 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:53,990 they they believed that they were 844 00:35:59,710 --> 00:35:55,970 actually cooking with fire which is 845 00:36:02,530 --> 00:35:59,720 pretty amazing and oh not it echoes way 846 00:36:05,109 --> 00:36:02,540 back at 1.8 million years ago you see 847 00:36:07,950 --> 00:36:05,119 the first step and then although erectus 848 00:36:11,079 --> 00:36:07,960 oh wow and that also adds to 849 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:11,089 intelligence too right absolutely yeah 850 00:36:15,099 --> 00:36:12,890 and and the trade-off I was mentioning 851 00:36:17,410 --> 00:36:15,109 between our brain size and our facial 852 00:36:19,569 --> 00:36:17,420 size our face had to get out of the way 853 00:36:23,380 --> 00:36:19,579 of our expanding brains and by cooking 854 00:36:25,540 --> 00:36:23,390 our food it it it helped with a number 855 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:25,550 of things that made the food safer to 856 00:36:30,339 --> 00:36:27,650 eat it cooked off bacteria and parasites 857 00:36:32,500 --> 00:36:30,349 and viruses and things but it also 858 00:36:35,380 --> 00:36:32,510 reduced selective pressure to maintain 859 00:36:37,809 --> 00:36:35,390 big teeth and a big chewing apparatus or 860 00:36:41,050 --> 00:36:37,819 mastication masticatory muscles as we 861 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:41,060 call them so so it allowed a reduction 862 00:36:46,540 --> 00:36:44,690 in the face because of culture that that 863 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:46,550 allowed the brain to continue expanding 864 00:36:50,589 --> 00:36:48,410 and that's why in anthropology we talk 865 00:36:51,849 --> 00:36:50,599 about bio cultural evolution we can't 866 00:36:54,370 --> 00:36:51,859 really separate those there's many 867 00:36:56,589 --> 00:36:54,380 things about our physiology that there 868 00:36:58,510 --> 00:36:56,599 that are the direct result of our 869 00:37:00,940 --> 00:36:58,520 culture and many things in our culture 870 00:37:03,069 --> 00:37:00,950 that are influenced by our biology so we 871 00:37:05,530 --> 00:37:03,079 really look at them as the synergy this 872 00:37:08,290 --> 00:37:05,540 relationship that's that's inseparable 873 00:37:09,130 --> 00:37:08,300 and looking at the the long history of 874 00:37:14,410 --> 00:37:09,140 human evolution 875 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:14,420 on this planet well modern humans now 876 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:16,490 that's always baffled me because you 877 00:37:21,009 --> 00:37:18,890 know they say modern humans have doesn't 878 00:37:24,279 --> 00:37:21,019 it appear that they've been around that 879 00:37:27,099 --> 00:37:24,289 long and as far as it's in the hundreds 880 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:27,109 of thousands of years and it's it's just 881 00:37:33,849 --> 00:37:31,010 baffling to me where do you where do you 882 00:37:35,470 --> 00:37:33,859 I think I read somewhere in some of your 883 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:35,480 literature or whatever there's no such 884 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:37,010 thing as a missing link anymore 885 00:37:41,019 --> 00:37:39,410 so do you want to you want to tackle 886 00:37:41,529 --> 00:37:41,029 that a little you know talk about that a 887 00:37:44,319 --> 00:37:41,539 little bit 888 00:37:46,589 --> 00:37:44,329 yeah if somebody says something about a 889 00:37:50,620 --> 00:37:46,599 missing link that's an instant red flag 890 00:37:54,250 --> 00:37:50,630 that it's sort of an archaic idea mostly 891 00:37:55,599 --> 00:37:54,260 an attempt to refute evolutionary change 892 00:37:57,430 --> 00:37:55,609 or human evolutionary change 893 00:38:00,720 --> 00:37:57,440 specifically but no at this point we 894 00:38:03,700 --> 00:38:00,730 have a very very good understanding of 895 00:38:05,349 --> 00:38:03,710 our evolutionary history as I mentioned 896 00:38:07,059 --> 00:38:05,359 going back to that time when we first 897 00:38:08,890 --> 00:38:07,069 started walking upright about six to 898 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:08,900 eight million years ago and a big part 899 00:38:14,529 --> 00:38:11,930 of my research is looking at those 900 00:38:16,359 --> 00:38:14,539 evolutionary changes and there are 901 00:38:19,749 --> 00:38:16,369 places where there's not as much 902 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:19,759 information beginning with our own genus 903 00:38:24,759 --> 00:38:22,490 Homo habilis is one of the best examples 904 00:38:26,589 --> 00:38:24,769 we have a number of skulls and bones and 905 00:38:27,849 --> 00:38:26,599 there were some of the first used stone 906 00:38:30,549 --> 00:38:27,859 tools so we have a lot of information 907 00:38:32,980 --> 00:38:30,559 but it's all relative but there is no 908 00:38:35,289 --> 00:38:32,990 point that we just don't know what was 909 00:38:38,319 --> 00:38:35,299 going on and and I think a big part of 910 00:38:41,950 --> 00:38:38,329 that comes down to for some people it's 911 00:38:44,319 --> 00:38:41,960 a desire to not understand it or to try 912 00:38:46,779 --> 00:38:44,329 to find some reason to criticize it even 913 00:38:48,789 --> 00:38:46,789 though that's it's an outdated idea but 914 00:38:51,849 --> 00:38:48,799 it's also that that there's a disconnect 915 00:38:53,559 --> 00:38:51,859 between what we do as scientists and 916 00:38:55,779 --> 00:38:53,569 where we publish and then what is 917 00:38:58,029 --> 00:38:55,789 released in more mainstream media 918 00:39:00,670 --> 00:38:58,039 outlets and that's just an aspect of 919 00:39:03,700 --> 00:39:00,680 science in generals that we write for 920 00:39:05,529 --> 00:39:03,710 each other the vast majority of time in 921 00:39:07,829 --> 00:39:05,539 order to communicate new things new 922 00:39:10,450 --> 00:39:07,839 discoveries to have really detailed 923 00:39:11,799 --> 00:39:10,460 arguments about the morphology of this 924 00:39:13,269 --> 00:39:11,809 hominin and how it fits in with these 925 00:39:15,370 --> 00:39:13,279 other ones and should it be a different 926 00:39:17,859 --> 00:39:15,380 species or classified as the same 927 00:39:19,720 --> 00:39:17,869 species but the general public is left 928 00:39:21,839 --> 00:39:19,730 out of that conversation because it's 929 00:39:22,900 --> 00:39:21,849 very esoteric and it's it's complicated 930 00:39:25,210 --> 00:39:22,910 speed 931 00:39:27,430 --> 00:39:25,220 but but you do have stories come out 932 00:39:29,980 --> 00:39:27,440 there's big fines and and one thing I 933 00:39:32,650 --> 00:39:29,990 try to do with this book is is to really 934 00:39:35,470 --> 00:39:32,660 explain things in understandable terms 935 00:39:40,630 --> 00:39:35,480 and and to present not just an argument 936 00:39:43,299 --> 00:39:40,640 about what or who rather these aliens 937 00:39:45,430 --> 00:39:43,309 might be these extraterrestrials but 938 00:39:47,859 --> 00:39:45,440 also to really give people a deep 939 00:39:49,569 --> 00:39:47,869 understanding of human origins and of 940 00:39:52,240 --> 00:39:49,579 human evolution and of cultural 941 00:39:54,730 --> 00:39:52,250 evolution and what things really got us 942 00:39:56,109 --> 00:39:54,740 to where we are today and and tie it 943 00:39:58,029 --> 00:39:56,119 into all of this but it would be 944 00:40:00,700 --> 00:39:58,039 impossible to read this book I think and 945 00:40:04,359 --> 00:40:00,710 to walk away without a much deeper 946 00:40:06,099 --> 00:40:04,369 knowledge of anthropology astrobiology 947 00:40:09,279 --> 00:40:06,109 astronomy and physics because I really 948 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:09,289 try to to do a science communication 949 00:40:15,430 --> 00:40:12,410 thing and really could convey in real 950 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:15,440 understandable terms what we can learn 951 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:16,970 from each of these fields and how it 952 00:40:22,150 --> 00:40:19,490 applies to this UFO phenomenon hmm 953 00:40:23,950 --> 00:40:22,160 I remember reading something in a 954 00:40:26,140 --> 00:40:23,960 dentist office I was something an 955 00:40:28,329 --> 00:40:26,150 article I I forget what magazine it was 956 00:40:30,970 --> 00:40:28,339 in but it was saying that you know they 957 00:40:32,380 --> 00:40:30,980 think within you know I forget about a 958 00:40:35,589 --> 00:40:32,390 thousand years or something like that 959 00:40:37,660 --> 00:40:35,599 that most people will have more of a 960 00:40:40,329 --> 00:40:37,670 darker complexion and you know dark hair 961 00:40:43,420 --> 00:40:40,339 and all that what what would be the 962 00:40:45,789 --> 00:40:43,430 basis of you know I don't know if you've 963 00:40:49,029 --> 00:40:45,799 ever heard that as well but what would 964 00:40:51,609 --> 00:40:49,039 be the basis for thoughts of that I mean 965 00:40:54,700 --> 00:40:51,619 how can someone judge where we're 966 00:40:58,170 --> 00:40:54,710 heading or is it just by the subtle 967 00:41:00,940 --> 00:40:58,180 things that have repeated in the past 968 00:41:03,309 --> 00:41:00,950 yeah that's that's a sticky wicket 969 00:41:05,980 --> 00:41:03,319 really I I try to stay away from those 970 00:41:07,450 --> 00:41:05,990 types of conjectures in my own research 971 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:07,460 because there really is no way to know 972 00:41:13,349 --> 00:41:09,890 it so many little things like that 973 00:41:15,849 --> 00:41:13,359 especially stature height weight 974 00:41:17,710 --> 00:41:15,859 different characteristics that are 975 00:41:19,930 --> 00:41:17,720 already so variable among humans like 976 00:41:21,819 --> 00:41:19,940 skin color and that have a long 977 00:41:24,339 --> 00:41:21,829 evolutionary history associated with 978 00:41:27,370 --> 00:41:24,349 them those tend to also respond to 979 00:41:28,900 --> 00:41:27,380 environmental variables and without 980 00:41:30,730 --> 00:41:28,910 knowing what those environmental 981 00:41:33,339 --> 00:41:30,740 variables are going to be in the 982 00:41:36,930 --> 00:41:33,349 proximate or distant future it's much 983 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:36,940 harder to say what those traits would be 984 00:41:40,950 --> 00:41:38,890 would look like I touch on them a little 985 00:41:43,170 --> 00:41:40,960 bit in the book in the context of 986 00:41:46,710 --> 00:41:43,180 current cultural trends there is a 987 00:41:48,210 --> 00:41:46,720 tendency to whitewash a lot of people 988 00:41:50,010 --> 00:41:48,220 with darker skin try to lighten their 989 00:41:52,020 --> 00:41:50,020 skin but at the same time a lot of 990 00:41:53,580 --> 00:41:52,030 people with light skin spend a lot of 991 00:41:55,350 --> 00:41:53,590 money and a lot of time and put 992 00:41:57,510 --> 00:41:55,360 themselves at risk for skin cancer and 993 00:41:59,520 --> 00:41:57,520 trying to darken their skin too so 994 00:42:01,590 --> 00:41:59,530 there's a number of things that play 995 00:42:04,770 --> 00:42:01,600 into that issue of skin color 996 00:42:07,530 --> 00:42:04,780 I do talk a little bit about the self 997 00:42:10,650 --> 00:42:07,540 domestication process and one of the 998 00:42:13,470 --> 00:42:10,660 things that happens as we domesticate 999 00:42:14,940 --> 00:42:13,480 other animals and and as we domesticate 1000 00:42:16,500 --> 00:42:14,950 ourselves because beginning with 1001 00:42:19,140 --> 00:42:16,510 agriculture we've started domesticating 1002 00:42:21,930 --> 00:42:19,150 ourselves as well is that you have a 1003 00:42:23,850 --> 00:42:21,940 reduction in pigmentation and so in 1004 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:23,860 looking at this commonly reported 1005 00:42:29,070 --> 00:42:26,530 characteristic and close encounters 1006 00:42:31,710 --> 00:42:29,080 where the bean was actually seen or an 1007 00:42:33,750 --> 00:42:31,720 individual was abducted they often 1008 00:42:36,210 --> 00:42:33,760 report a sort of grayish looking skin 1009 00:42:38,970 --> 00:42:36,220 and that that doesn't exist in humans we 1010 00:42:40,590 --> 00:42:38,980 don't have gray skin we have brown skin 1011 00:42:42,090 --> 00:42:40,600 and black skin and white skin and 1012 00:42:44,460 --> 00:42:42,100 everything in between and if you did 1013 00:42:47,550 --> 00:42:44,470 average out the skin tone of the whole 1014 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:47,560 human population it would sort of be a 1015 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:49,090 brownish color and that could 1016 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:50,650 potentially be what they were talking 1017 00:42:55,410 --> 00:42:52,930 about and that article is more of an 1018 00:42:58,260 --> 00:42:55,420 averaging or homogeneous Asian of these 1019 00:43:02,070 --> 00:42:58,270 genes that code for skin color but but 1020 00:43:05,540 --> 00:43:02,080 even outside of that and domesticated 1021 00:43:08,510 --> 00:43:05,550 ourselves we may start to just reduce 1022 00:43:11,460 --> 00:43:08,520 pigmentation in general which over time 1023 00:43:14,130 --> 00:43:11,470 could potentially result and and those 1024 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:14,140 characteristics of a greyish color skin 1025 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:16,690 without all of the melanocytes firing 1026 00:43:21,690 --> 00:43:19,330 off melanin and creating the brown skin 1027 00:43:25,020 --> 00:43:21,700 color just a sort of a pale grayish 1028 00:43:27,270 --> 00:43:25,030 color that lacks pigmentation but but 1029 00:43:30,450 --> 00:43:27,280 again that's that's rooted in and things 1030 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:30,460 we've already shown experimentally with 1031 00:43:34,500 --> 00:43:32,410 other animals so there's a little bit 1032 00:43:37,830 --> 00:43:34,510 more of a basis for arguments like that 1033 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:37,840 rather than saying that that will will 1034 00:43:42,690 --> 00:43:40,570 have more sun or less ozone we can't 1035 00:43:44,130 --> 00:43:42,700 know those things for sure so I do try 1036 00:43:47,370 --> 00:43:44,140 to stay away from those as much as 1037 00:43:48,860 --> 00:43:47,380 possible in my own research now number 1038 00:43:50,190 --> 00:43:48,870 of things I've thought of over the years 1039 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:50,200 or whatever 1040 00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:52,810 you know if we're we're a rare solar 1041 00:43:58,740 --> 00:43:55,810 system or we only have one son you know 1042 00:44:01,110 --> 00:43:58,750 most a lot of solar systems have you 1043 00:44:03,420 --> 00:44:01,120 know more than one son yeah there's all 1044 00:44:07,710 --> 00:44:03,430 these different things that play into 1045 00:44:10,890 --> 00:44:07,720 with how we evolved and so it's it's 1046 00:44:14,580 --> 00:44:10,900 always been curious to me to wonder how 1047 00:44:18,150 --> 00:44:14,590 something could evolve on another planet 1048 00:44:21,150 --> 00:44:18,160 the variables of oxygen or breathable 1049 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:21,160 air or whatever it is they can learn to 1050 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:23,970 breathe the weight of the planet gravity 1051 00:44:28,830 --> 00:44:26,890 and that's a major part in the 1052 00:44:30,660 --> 00:44:28,840 development of something something as 1053 00:44:32,910 --> 00:44:30,670 simple as a moon or not having a moon 1054 00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:32,920 with the tides and things like that are 1055 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:36,250 all all stepping stones with to how we 1056 00:44:45,030 --> 00:44:41,890 got here and so is that just some of the 1057 00:44:46,790 --> 00:44:45,040 variables on an evolution and how we you 1058 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:46,800 know crawled out of the water basically 1059 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:49,210 yeah but those are certainly important 1060 00:44:55,980 --> 00:44:52,570 ones a binary star system would really 1061 00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:55,990 complicate the formation of life in 1062 00:45:01,530 --> 00:44:57,930 different ways it can certainly happen 1063 00:45:03,150 --> 00:45:01,540 but its evolutionary trajectory would 1064 00:45:05,130 --> 00:45:03,160 certainly be very different than our own 1065 00:45:07,710 --> 00:45:05,140 and and yeah you're right the chemistry 1066 00:45:10,020 --> 00:45:07,720 the climate the distance from the Sun 1067 00:45:12,930 --> 00:45:10,030 the amount of water the amount of ice 1068 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:12,940 moon all of those things are important 1069 00:45:15,810 --> 00:45:14,290 I'm really glad you mentioned gravity 1070 00:45:19,830 --> 00:45:15,820 too because that's one that I talk about 1071 00:45:22,770 --> 00:45:19,840 a lot in the book is we we suffer a lot 1072 00:45:25,020 --> 00:45:22,780 of maladies associated with our upright 1073 00:45:27,750 --> 00:45:25,030 form of walking bipedal locomotion as we 1074 00:45:28,500 --> 00:45:27,760 call it and we're one of a few mammals 1075 00:45:30,900 --> 00:45:28,510 that does it 1076 00:45:33,180 --> 00:45:30,910 habitually most animals are quadrupedal 1077 00:45:35,670 --> 00:45:33,190 walking on all four so the fact that we 1078 00:45:38,270 --> 00:45:35,680 have things like like herniated discs 1079 00:45:41,430 --> 00:45:38,280 fractured discs blown out knees 1080 00:45:44,630 --> 00:45:41,440 hemorrhoids hernias just all kinds of 1081 00:45:46,980 --> 00:45:44,640 problems with our knees ankles hips 1082 00:45:49,170 --> 00:45:46,990 broken hips and older age with 1083 00:45:53,250 --> 00:45:49,180 osteoporosis all of these things 1084 00:45:56,820 --> 00:45:53,260 indicate that we are at the upper limit 1085 00:45:59,130 --> 00:45:56,830 of what a planet might be able to 1086 00:46:01,530 --> 00:45:59,140 sustain with regard to bipedalism and 1087 00:46:03,300 --> 00:46:01,540 and we're only at 9.8 meters per second 1088 00:46:04,140 --> 00:46:03,310 squared and an argument I make in the 1089 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:04,150 book is that 1090 00:46:08,940 --> 00:46:05,890 most of the planets that have been found 1091 00:46:10,859 --> 00:46:08,950 as part of the Kepler mission are far 1092 00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:10,869 heavier than Earth I think only about 1093 00:46:17,299 --> 00:46:14,650 2.2 2.7 I forget the exact number but 1094 00:46:20,250 --> 00:46:17,309 somewhere under 3 percent of them are 1095 00:46:23,220 --> 00:46:20,260 much larger than Earth which would 1096 00:46:26,609 --> 00:46:23,230 really make it prohibitive for an 1097 00:46:28,529 --> 00:46:26,619 upright walking humanoid form to evolve 1098 00:46:31,710 --> 00:46:28,539 and a big part of what I was talking 1099 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:31,720 about earlier but for Darien it gets a 1100 00:46:35,819 --> 00:46:32,890 little bit after the break 1101 00:46:38,700 --> 00:46:35,829 is that bipedalism was so important for 1102 00:46:40,079 --> 00:46:38,710 us becoming what we are today having the 1103 00:46:42,870 --> 00:46:40,089 ability to sit down and have these 1104 00:46:46,019 --> 00:46:42,880 conversations in different parts of the 1105 00:46:48,150 --> 00:46:46,029 country I can't see you you can't see me 1106 00:46:50,910 --> 00:46:48,160 I guess we can through Skype which also 1107 00:46:52,500 --> 00:46:50,920 is a testament to our success but but we 1108 00:46:55,950 --> 00:46:52,510 have all of these technologies and these 1109 00:46:59,099 --> 00:46:55,960 abilities that really are either 1110 00:47:01,529 --> 00:46:59,109 directly or indirectly the result of our 1111 00:47:04,980 --> 00:47:01,539 bipedalism so so in looking at all of 1112 00:47:07,950 --> 00:47:04,990 this this variability in size across 1113 00:47:09,539 --> 00:47:07,960 these different planets even taking out 1114 00:47:12,420 --> 00:47:09,549 of the equation the chemistry and the 1115 00:47:15,240 --> 00:47:12,430 climate and the binary or you know you 1116 00:47:17,700 --> 00:47:15,250 know one star systems we still aren't 1117 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:17,710 likely to have bipedalism on those 1118 00:47:22,740 --> 00:47:19,450 planets and we aren't likely to have 1119 00:47:27,049 --> 00:47:22,750 this humanoid form so so even looking at 1120 00:47:30,289 --> 00:47:27,059 the other reports of mantis men and 1121 00:47:33,539 --> 00:47:30,299 insects like humanoids and reptilians 1122 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:33,549 there they're still almost universally 1123 00:47:37,589 --> 00:47:35,650 universally described as being bipedal 1124 00:47:39,779 --> 00:47:37,599 and and that's just not something you 1125 00:47:43,250 --> 00:47:39,789 would expect to see based on the current 1126 00:47:45,890 --> 00:47:43,260 data coming out of of the Kepler mission 1127 00:47:48,690 --> 00:47:45,900 interesting never would think of that 1128 00:47:50,609 --> 00:47:48,700 and I know we're going to get into all 1129 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:50,619 of that topic we're coming up in about 1130 00:47:57,839 --> 00:47:53,650 seven minutes on the next break and so 1131 00:48:00,480 --> 00:47:57,849 is evolution I mean that this has always 1132 00:48:03,299 --> 00:48:00,490 been kind of fascinating to me it's very 1133 00:48:06,269 --> 00:48:03,309 very slow it seems to be very very slow 1134 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:06,279 I know you know if it done they've done 1135 00:48:11,190 --> 00:48:09,970 studies and like the Galapagos Islands 1136 00:48:14,849 --> 00:48:11,200 the different islands the same bird 1137 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:14,859 changed with a lot of it had to do with 1138 00:48:20,970 --> 00:48:16,210 the food and and 1139 00:48:24,359 --> 00:48:20,980 and all that but how slow is first of 1140 00:48:28,109 --> 00:48:24,369 all is part of evolution can part of 1141 00:48:30,690 --> 00:48:28,119 evolution be a freak of nature like you 1142 00:48:34,010 --> 00:48:30,700 know someone that is all of a sudden 1143 00:48:36,630 --> 00:48:34,020 born differently and then they you know 1144 00:48:37,950 --> 00:48:36,640 proceed to have children and that that 1145 00:48:41,190 --> 00:48:37,960 change happens like that or is it just 1146 00:48:43,740 --> 00:48:41,200 very very always known to be extremely 1147 00:48:45,839 --> 00:48:43,750 slow and very subtle how does that work 1148 00:48:49,380 --> 00:48:45,849 well it really depends on the 1149 00:48:51,510 --> 00:48:49,390 reproductive time of the organism so one 1150 00:48:53,970 --> 00:48:51,520 of the reasons why we're constantly 1151 00:48:56,700 --> 00:48:53,980 having to develop new drugs to combat 1152 00:48:58,589 --> 00:48:56,710 diseases that we've evolved with over 1153 00:49:01,500 --> 00:48:58,599 many millennia is because they evolved 1154 00:49:04,020 --> 00:49:01,510 much faster than we do so if you have 1155 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:04,030 for instance influenza is a good example 1156 00:49:08,609 --> 00:49:06,010 because each year we have to identify 1157 00:49:10,589 --> 00:49:08,619 which strain of influenza is going to be 1158 00:49:12,870 --> 00:49:10,599 the dominant one sometimes they get it 1159 00:49:14,609 --> 00:49:12,880 wrong as it turns out and then we have a 1160 00:49:17,550 --> 00:49:14,619 different strain and the vaccine is 1161 00:49:19,140 --> 00:49:17,560 completely useless but well what we 1162 00:49:21,630 --> 00:49:19,150 would the reason we have to do that is 1163 00:49:23,250 --> 00:49:21,640 because it's constantly evolving it's 1164 00:49:26,609 --> 00:49:23,260 evolving very very quickly because 1165 00:49:30,329 --> 00:49:26,619 viruses evolve very rapidly you take a 1166 00:49:33,180 --> 00:49:30,339 petri dish and subjects bacteria to 1167 00:49:37,859 --> 00:49:33,190 these strong environmental conditions 1168 00:49:39,329 --> 00:49:37,869 you add radiation or a lot of solvents 1169 00:49:42,540 --> 00:49:39,339 and and they're going to evolve very 1170 00:49:44,490 --> 00:49:42,550 quickly we've created many really 1171 00:49:48,660 --> 00:49:44,500 interesting forms of Drosophila fruit 1172 00:49:50,849 --> 00:49:48,670 flies a lot of our early genetics data 1173 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:50,859 and an understanding of the double helix 1174 00:49:54,690 --> 00:49:52,570 came from research that was done with 1175 00:49:56,089 --> 00:49:54,700 these fruit flies and the main reason is 1176 00:49:58,320 --> 00:49:56,099 because they have a very rapid 1177 00:50:00,390 --> 00:49:58,330 reproductive cycle they don't live very 1178 00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:00,400 long they reproduce I think it's just a 1179 00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:02,290 couple of days or something like that so 1180 00:50:09,630 --> 00:50:04,810 those organisms evolve very quickly us 1181 00:50:12,630 --> 00:50:09,640 with with it taking until puberty age 1182 00:50:14,790 --> 00:50:12,640 1213 and in modern times we typically 1183 00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:14,800 wait even longer to reproduce it is a 1184 00:50:20,250 --> 00:50:17,170 much slower process as seen by us 1185 00:50:22,410 --> 00:50:20,260 obviously you know if you asked a sloth 1186 00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:22,420 or a tortoise they'd probably think we 1187 00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:24,490 look like the Drosophila and if you 1188 00:50:28,170 --> 00:50:26,050 asked her softly they think it was 1189 00:50:30,030 --> 00:50:28,180 incredibly slow and they'd be dead 1190 00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:30,040 before they even finished that thought 1191 00:50:33,810 --> 00:50:31,930 because they are born and died so 1192 00:50:35,820 --> 00:50:33,820 quickly but but it really just comes 1193 00:50:37,850 --> 00:50:35,830 down to the organism and also the 1194 00:50:41,670 --> 00:50:37,860 environment like I mentioned if you were 1195 00:50:44,580 --> 00:50:41,680 subjecting those organisms to a very 1196 00:50:47,100 --> 00:50:44,590 strong selective pressure they're going 1197 00:50:49,020 --> 00:50:47,110 to evolve very quickly so it's both both 1198 00:50:53,010 --> 00:50:49,030 of those things and yeah as you point 1199 00:50:55,310 --> 00:50:53,020 out those freaks of nature mostly result 1200 00:50:59,700 --> 00:50:55,320 from mutations and if there's a mutation 1201 00:51:01,560 --> 00:50:59,710 that's beneficial and that individual is 1202 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:01,570 able to make more babies relative to 1203 00:51:04,710 --> 00:51:02,890 other individuals that don't have that 1204 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:04,720 mutation and then there are offspring 1205 00:51:08,220 --> 00:51:06,490 also have it and they make more babies 1206 00:51:09,510 --> 00:51:08,230 you're very quickly going to see that 1207 00:51:12,810 --> 00:51:09,520 trait spread throughout the population 1208 00:51:14,940 --> 00:51:12,820 and over subsequent generations if that 1209 00:51:16,980 --> 00:51:14,950 traits a negative characteristic and 1210 00:51:19,500 --> 00:51:16,990 especially if it kills that individual 1211 00:51:21,900 --> 00:51:19,510 before reproductive age it's not going 1212 00:51:24,090 --> 00:51:21,910 to show up anywhere it dies with that 1213 00:51:25,890 --> 00:51:24,100 individual so yeah those freaks of 1214 00:51:27,720 --> 00:51:25,900 nature those random things that happen 1215 00:51:29,130 --> 00:51:27,730 are really an important part of 1216 00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:29,140 evolution and understanding the 1217 00:51:34,290 --> 00:51:32,050 evolutionary process mm-hmm now I know 1218 00:51:37,350 --> 00:51:34,300 that you know the life spans have 1219 00:51:39,150 --> 00:51:37,360 changed dramatically you know even over 1220 00:51:42,570 --> 00:51:39,160 the last four or four hundred years you 1221 00:51:45,750 --> 00:51:42,580 know I mean you think of the 30s were 1222 00:51:48,660 --> 00:51:45,760 the average age of a you know due to all 1223 00:51:51,900 --> 00:51:48,670 different types of reasons and so and 1224 00:51:54,720 --> 00:51:51,910 like you said you know the children were 1225 00:51:57,300 --> 00:51:54,730 I mean basically there were there was 1226 00:52:01,380 --> 00:51:57,310 childbirth at you know 14 12 and you 1227 00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:01,390 know all the way so but other than I 1228 00:52:09,540 --> 00:52:05,890 know that you know like I've seen armor 1229 00:52:11,580 --> 00:52:09,550 from knights from you know the 1500s and 1230 00:52:15,060 --> 00:52:11,590 Middle Ages or whatever and they're very 1231 00:52:17,790 --> 00:52:15,070 small you know I mean very short and for 1232 00:52:20,130 --> 00:52:17,800 the most part but other than height and 1233 00:52:23,100 --> 00:52:20,140 things like that have we been able to 1234 00:52:24,860 --> 00:52:23,110 record in human you know recorded human 1235 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:24,870 history any type of changes in 1236 00:52:30,270 --> 00:52:29,650 development of our species well yeah 1237 00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:30,280 absolutely 1238 00:52:34,590 --> 00:52:32,170 I know we're coming up on a break so 1239 00:52:37,710 --> 00:52:34,600 okay you put pretty short but but yeah 1240 00:52:40,050 --> 00:52:37,720 you're right Heights diachronic thing 1241 00:52:41,700 --> 00:52:40,060 and you can easily see whenever there's 1242 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:41,710 at one of the first studies I worked on 1243 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:43,210 in grad school looked at this whenever 1244 00:52:46,500 --> 00:52:43,810 you ever 1245 00:52:48,690 --> 00:52:46,510 session or a depression or a war height 1246 00:52:50,790 --> 00:52:48,700 drops tremendously and it starts to come 1247 00:52:52,260 --> 00:52:50,800 back up ya know it's very it's one of 1248 00:52:54,810 --> 00:52:52,270 the main variables we use in bio 1249 00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:54,820 archaeological analyses when we dig up 1250 00:52:59,670 --> 00:52:57,610 past cemeteries we there's a big study 1251 00:53:01,590 --> 00:52:59,680 though I have a state that looked at pre 1252 00:53:04,380 --> 00:53:01,600 agricultural and post agricultural 1253 00:53:06,140 --> 00:53:04,390 populations and just after agriculture 1254 00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:06,150 that same thing happened our health 1255 00:53:11,130 --> 00:53:08,770 deteriorated we started having all kinds 1256 00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:11,140 of new problems diseases but one of the 1257 00:53:15,390 --> 00:53:13,330 biggest indicators is our size or height 1258 00:53:16,770 --> 00:53:15,400 decrease tremendously as it did with 1259 00:53:19,410 --> 00:53:16,780 other animals that we were trying to 1260 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:19,420 domesticate so yeah there's there's 1261 00:53:23,850 --> 00:53:22,330 quite a few of those malaria is an 1262 00:53:27,150 --> 00:53:23,860 important one another biocultural 1263 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:27,160 example where we started to live in 1264 00:53:31,980 --> 00:53:30,010 places with standing pools of water and 1265 00:53:35,130 --> 00:53:31,990 without the trees that other animals 1266 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:35,140 inhabit and we started to evolve 1267 00:53:40,170 --> 00:53:37,450 sickle-cell alleles sickle-cell anemia 1268 00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:40,180 which in itself is a negative thing but 1269 00:53:44,370 --> 00:53:42,010 in a malarial environment it actually 1270 00:53:47,010 --> 00:53:44,380 protects you against malaria so there's 1271 00:53:48,930 --> 00:53:47,020 there's quite a few changes like that 1272 00:53:50,250 --> 00:53:48,940 and I mentioned a number of them in the 1273 00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:50,260 book that are associated with more 1274 00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:52,930 recent evolutionary changes things that 1275 00:53:57,900 --> 00:53:55,450 you can identify that have happened in 1276 00:54:00,420 --> 00:53:57,910 very recent human history I wonder if 1277 00:54:03,270 --> 00:54:00,430 we're going to I was in a cafe yesterday 1278 00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:03,280 and I happen to look out and the whole 1279 00:54:08,670 --> 00:54:06,370 entire cafe everyone in that cafe was 1280 00:54:10,710 --> 00:54:08,680 looking down at their phone every single 1281 00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:10,720 person and I think if we're gonna 1282 00:54:16,850 --> 00:54:13,090 develop somehow if our bodies are going 1283 00:54:19,140 --> 00:54:16,860 to develop to change with a cell phone 1284 00:54:20,550 --> 00:54:19,150 we're right under the break so we're 1285 00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:20,560 gonna come back right after these 1286 00:54:29,610 --> 00:54:23,650 messages everyone hang in there we'll be 1287 00:54:31,740 --> 00:54:29,620 back in just a few minutes alrighty 1288 00:54:34,770 --> 00:54:31,750 welcome back this is Martin Willis with 1289 00:54:36,690 --> 00:54:34,780 podcast UFO and my guest is dr. Michael 1290 00:54:38,220 --> 00:54:36,700 P masters and we're having a very 1291 00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:38,230 interesting conversation we haven't 1292 00:54:45,180 --> 00:54:41,530 really got into what these things 1293 00:54:47,910 --> 00:54:45,190 possibly are yet and I'm heading that 1294 00:54:49,650 --> 00:54:47,920 way just to let you know if you're the 1295 00:54:53,550 --> 00:54:49,660 listener we're gonna take calls in about 1296 00:54:56,850 --> 00:54:53,560 a half an hour so from now so that 1297 00:54:57,910 --> 00:54:56,860 number is going to be the same as always 1298 00:55:01,809 --> 00:54:57,920 next 1299 00:55:03,190 --> 00:55:01,819 we should have a call screening set in 1300 00:55:05,829 --> 00:55:03,200 place with a different phone number that 1301 00:55:08,049 --> 00:55:05,839 number will be announced and I did want 1302 00:55:10,630 --> 00:55:08,059 to tell the listener that if anyone 1303 00:55:15,039 --> 00:55:10,640 wants to jump over at the the 1304 00:55:18,249 --> 00:55:15,049 International UFO Congress website 1305 00:55:21,059 --> 00:55:18,259 that's UFO Congress calm there is a code 1306 00:55:28,150 --> 00:55:21,069 you can put in there that's I you f Oh 1307 00:55:30,549 --> 00:55:28,160 see that's I you F Oh see that's like a 1308 00:55:32,890 --> 00:55:30,559 UFO with an eye in front of it and a C 1309 00:55:35,019 --> 00:55:32,900 after it and put in that code and you'll 1310 00:55:38,589 --> 00:55:35,029 get $30 off if you want to get a ticket 1311 00:55:40,269 --> 00:55:38,599 for the International UFO Congress 1312 00:55:42,370 --> 00:55:40,279 coming up this September I can't wait 1313 00:55:45,420 --> 00:55:42,380 I'll be there as usual and it'll be a 1314 00:55:48,579 --> 00:55:45,430 lot of fun and so well our guest dr. 1315 00:55:50,349 --> 00:55:48,589 Michael masters will be there yeah like 1316 00:55:50,849 --> 00:55:50,359 that will be really nice to meet you in 1317 00:55:52,720 --> 00:55:50,859 person 1318 00:55:53,890 --> 00:55:52,730 absolutely I'm really looking forward to 1319 00:55:55,779 --> 00:55:53,900 that thing it's gonna be a really great 1320 00:55:58,329 --> 00:55:55,789 event I'd also like to mention that I 1321 00:56:00,910 --> 00:55:58,339 thought Alejandro's news segment was 1322 00:56:03,309 --> 00:56:00,920 tremendously fascinating really 1323 00:56:04,059 --> 00:56:03,319 informative and yeah that was so super 1324 00:56:05,859 --> 00:56:04,069 fun to listen to 1325 00:56:08,890 --> 00:56:05,869 oh that's great I'm glad I'll give him 1326 00:56:10,630 --> 00:56:08,900 that feedback yeah he does he's you know 1327 00:56:13,210 --> 00:56:10,640 there's not too many people in the topic 1328 00:56:17,979 --> 00:56:13,220 as deeply as he is and yeah that's a lot 1329 00:56:21,450 --> 00:56:17,989 of fun he's a good guy oh yeah so the we 1330 00:56:24,039 --> 00:56:21,460 haven't really touched on the possible 1331 00:56:25,779 --> 00:56:24,049 things that people are seeing possibly 1332 00:56:28,150 --> 00:56:25,789 time-travels yeah we're going to get 1333 00:56:32,289 --> 00:56:28,160 into that some more about a couple more 1334 00:56:35,049 --> 00:56:32,299 questions I had for you is you have 1335 00:56:37,829 --> 00:56:35,059 heard what people have described as what 1336 00:56:40,359 --> 00:56:37,839 they are seeing in these abduction 1337 00:56:42,700 --> 00:56:40,369 sequences you mentioned the greys that's 1338 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:42,710 a one typical there's a lot of different 1339 00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:44,930 ones that people are saying a different 1340 00:56:49,089 --> 00:56:47,930 species or whatever and you know and I'm 1341 00:56:51,249 --> 00:56:49,099 on the fence about all that stuff 1342 00:56:55,779 --> 00:56:51,259 because I I don't really know you know 1343 00:57:01,269 --> 00:56:55,789 but do you think that we are on the path 1344 00:57:02,769 --> 00:57:01,279 of evolution to head toward a species 1345 00:57:04,839 --> 00:57:02,779 with the characteristics that you're 1346 00:57:06,339 --> 00:57:04,849 seeing they always talk about the large 1347 00:57:08,710 --> 00:57:06,349 eyes he always talk about the little 1348 00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:08,720 slit for the mouth thin bodies small and 1349 00:57:11,980 --> 00:57:10,970 stature mostly 1350 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:11,990 this is what a lot of people are 1351 00:57:16,530 --> 00:57:13,930 reporting I don't know if you've ever 1352 00:57:20,530 --> 00:57:16,540 listened to any of the aerial school 1353 00:57:22,300 --> 00:57:20,540 incident in South Africa but that you 1354 00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:22,310 know they describe very well on what 1355 00:57:29,260 --> 00:57:25,370 they saw and similar aspects but skin 1356 00:57:31,930 --> 00:57:29,270 like porcelain and you know just there's 1357 00:57:34,390 --> 00:57:31,940 been so many accounts do you so the 1358 00:57:37,060 --> 00:57:34,400 question I know I'm rambling here but do 1359 00:57:40,540 --> 00:57:37,070 you see like a trend of evolution going 1360 00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:40,550 in any of these directions slowly yeah 1361 00:57:44,170 --> 00:57:41,810 absolutely 1362 00:57:47,950 --> 00:57:44,180 that's really a big focus of the book I 1363 00:57:49,750 --> 00:57:47,960 think is to to really focus on what we 1364 00:57:52,510 --> 00:57:49,760 can know now and looking back our 1365 00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:52,520 evolutionary past we can see these 1366 00:57:57,370 --> 00:57:55,010 changes taking place and we have a very 1367 00:57:59,770 --> 00:57:57,380 good record of them and we have very 1368 00:58:02,620 --> 00:57:59,780 good means with which to study them 1369 00:58:05,590 --> 00:58:02,630 primarily through CT scans and endo 1370 00:58:08,110 --> 00:58:05,600 casts and an MRI which is something I've 1371 00:58:09,970 --> 00:58:08,120 used in my own research quite a lot and 1372 00:58:12,810 --> 00:58:09,980 yeah if you look at these evolutionary 1373 00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:12,820 changes in our own lineage here on earth 1374 00:58:18,310 --> 00:58:15,410 projecting those forward you would get 1375 00:58:21,070 --> 00:58:18,320 something very very similar to what is 1376 00:58:23,410 --> 00:58:21,080 so ubiquitously reported and these 1377 00:58:25,810 --> 00:58:23,420 accounts and and I break it down into 1378 00:58:28,330 --> 00:58:25,820 more concrete terms and talk about what 1379 00:58:30,550 --> 00:58:28,340 specifically has led to our brains 1380 00:58:34,330 --> 00:58:30,560 growing larger and our faces growing 1381 00:58:35,830 --> 00:58:34,340 smaller and even trying to address 1382 00:58:37,660 --> 00:58:35,840 things like telepathy 1383 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:37,670 that's so commonly reported and what 1384 00:58:41,890 --> 00:58:40,130 what what might contribute to that over 1385 00:58:44,530 --> 00:58:41,900 evolutionary time and looking at modern 1386 00:58:46,180 --> 00:58:44,540 research into brain to brain interaction 1387 00:58:49,390 --> 00:58:46,190 and different evolutionary trends 1388 00:58:50,890 --> 00:58:49,400 related to the the reduction of our face 1389 00:58:53,410 --> 00:58:50,900 and how that it could impact 1390 00:58:58,620 --> 00:58:53,420 vocalization over the long term so so 1391 00:59:01,870 --> 00:58:58,630 yeah I very much took time to research 1392 00:59:03,730 --> 00:59:01,880 numerous abduction accounts and other 1393 00:59:06,790 --> 00:59:03,740 Close Encounters of the fourth and fifth 1394 00:59:08,620 --> 00:59:06,800 kind in which these beams were observed 1395 00:59:10,540 --> 00:59:08,630 or people claim to have observed them 1396 00:59:13,750 --> 00:59:10,550 and and like I tell people all the time 1397 00:59:17,350 --> 00:59:13,760 if they were consistently describing 1398 00:59:19,030 --> 00:59:17,360 some ten legged squid-like monster 1399 00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:19,040 creature I never would have written this 1400 00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:23,210 book but the fact that they so often so 1401 00:59:27,099 --> 00:59:24,890 consistently are described 1402 00:59:30,549 --> 00:59:27,109 as hominins I mean if you look at the 1403 00:59:33,549 --> 00:59:30,559 form of these organisms and the the 1404 00:59:35,979 --> 00:59:33,559 average say even taking into account the 1405 00:59:39,249 --> 00:59:35,989 reptile like insect like and but even if 1406 00:59:41,349 --> 00:59:39,259 you average them all out what you get is 1407 00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:41,359 something that if you put them next to 1408 00:59:46,450 --> 00:59:43,730 us and our hominoid relatives the 1409 00:59:49,059 --> 00:59:46,460 chimpanzees orangutans gorillas all of 1410 00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:49,069 the different primates there's no 1411 00:59:53,470 --> 00:59:51,650 question that they would be considered a 1412 00:59:55,239 --> 00:59:53,480 hominid they have all of the 1413 00:59:58,299 --> 00:59:55,249 characteristics that we have and like I 1414 01:00:01,539 --> 00:59:58,309 said earlier we fight a lot of help what 1415 01:00:03,849 --> 01:00:01,549 traits should be used to classify a 1416 01:00:06,249 --> 01:00:03,859 specific species or a specific genus 1417 01:00:08,710 --> 01:00:06,259 within our own human evolutionary 1418 01:00:10,690 --> 01:00:08,720 history but but looking at this this 1419 01:00:12,579 --> 01:00:10,700 form that so commonly reported and 1420 01:00:14,739 --> 01:00:12,589 described in these accounts there's 1421 01:00:16,359 --> 01:00:14,749 there's absolutely no question and and 1422 01:00:19,539 --> 01:00:16,369 something that came up I gave a talk at 1423 01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:19,549 a MUFON meeting in Oregon just last week 1424 01:00:24,940 --> 01:00:21,890 two weeks ago and something that came up 1425 01:00:27,339 --> 01:00:24,950 were hybrids and I I mentioned to them 1426 01:00:30,370 --> 01:00:27,349 mmm well I mentioned to them that if you 1427 01:00:34,390 --> 01:00:30,380 believe that we are hybridizing with 1428 01:00:36,460 --> 01:00:34,400 these extra tempest' reels as I call 1429 01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:36,470 them then you have to acknowledge that 1430 01:00:40,779 --> 01:00:38,450 they are human because that's the 1431 01:00:42,999 --> 01:00:40,789 definition of a species the DEF and the 1432 01:00:44,859 --> 01:00:43,009 biological criteria of species 1433 01:00:47,349 --> 01:00:44,869 classification is that if two organisms 1434 01:00:48,609 --> 01:00:47,359 can mate with each other and produce 1435 01:00:50,710 --> 01:00:48,619 viable offspring 1436 01:00:52,749 --> 01:00:50,720 meaning that offspring itself is able to 1437 01:00:55,089 --> 01:00:52,759 reproduce then by definition they are 1438 01:00:57,549 --> 01:00:55,099 the same species so if you believe that 1439 01:00:59,289 --> 01:00:57,559 we are hybridizing with these aliens and 1440 01:01:01,299 --> 01:00:59,299 whatever capacity you understand them 1441 01:01:03,339 --> 01:01:01,309 you have to admit that they are human 1442 01:01:05,710 --> 01:01:03,349 simply because that's the criteria we 1443 01:01:07,839 --> 01:01:05,720 use to define humaneness and to define a 1444 01:01:10,239 --> 01:01:07,849 species so there's a there's a lot of 1445 01:01:12,430 --> 01:01:10,249 traits even beyond that that I think are 1446 01:01:14,970 --> 01:01:12,440 really important to consider and the 1447 01:01:17,410 --> 01:01:14,980 point of the book and in addition to 1448 01:01:19,329 --> 01:01:17,420 looking at questions of what 1449 01:01:20,950 --> 01:01:19,339 extraterrestrial life might look like in 1450 01:01:24,239 --> 01:01:20,960 other planets and the question of time 1451 01:01:27,069 --> 01:01:24,249 and time travel the cosmos writ large 1452 01:01:29,019 --> 01:01:27,079 there the main focus of the book or at 1453 01:01:33,370 --> 01:01:29,029 least a principal focus of the book is 1454 01:01:36,099 --> 01:01:33,380 that is what what have we done what has 1455 01:01:38,470 --> 01:01:36,109 happened to us how have we evolved over 1456 01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:38,480 the last six to eight million years 1457 01:01:43,270 --> 01:01:40,370 and what's that going to look like going 1458 01:01:45,130 --> 01:01:43,280 forward just if we project those same 1459 01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:45,140 things forward and and that's hard to 1460 01:01:50,460 --> 01:01:47,690 argue that it wouldn't look like what's 1461 01:01:52,810 --> 01:01:50,470 being described in these encounters has 1462 01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:52,820 all these different thoughts are going 1463 01:01:58,090 --> 01:01:54,890 through my mind is you're speaking and 1464 01:01:59,860 --> 01:01:58,100 one of them is you know I talked about 1465 01:02:01,720 --> 01:01:59,870 earlier the bottleneck of Technology 1466 01:02:04,690 --> 01:02:01,730 it's possible we could wipe ourselves 1467 01:02:06,730 --> 01:02:04,700 out and start over again 1468 01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:06,740 I mean if time is you know if we have 1469 01:02:13,030 --> 01:02:09,410 enough time left before the Sun swells 1470 01:02:16,900 --> 01:02:13,040 up and yeah burns everything on earth we 1471 01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:16,910 have time to evolve again possibly but I 1472 01:02:21,190 --> 01:02:19,130 don't know I'm going off on that one but 1473 01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:21,200 one of the things I was thinking about 1474 01:02:26,980 --> 01:02:24,770 is you talked about telepathy and a lot 1475 01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:26,990 of people have reported kind of 1476 01:02:30,430 --> 01:02:28,490 something that kind of fits with what 1477 01:02:33,580 --> 01:02:30,440 you're talking about I would have to say 1478 01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:33,590 a lot of people report of take care of 1479 01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:35,210 your planet you know they're them along 1480 01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:39,050 those lines like you know you hear about 1481 01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:41,090 that and I mentioned you know the aerial 1482 01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:43,730 school very is very commonly yeah yeah 1483 01:02:48,310 --> 01:02:46,130 so that kind of fits with your thoughts 1484 01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:48,320 but another thing that comes to mind is 1485 01:02:53,140 --> 01:02:50,450 like the butterfly effect uh you know 1486 01:02:55,270 --> 01:02:53,150 don't change anything because that one 1487 01:02:57,550 --> 01:02:55,280 little subtle change may wipe out the 1488 01:02:59,380 --> 01:02:57,560 fact that you even exist so what were 1489 01:03:01,960 --> 01:02:59,390 your what how did you get into any of 1490 01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:01,970 that stuff oh yeah we do any of that oh 1491 01:03:07,390 --> 01:03:04,370 absolutely we dive we dive very very 1492 01:03:10,660 --> 01:03:07,400 deep into that part of the swimming pool 1493 01:03:13,420 --> 01:03:10,670 I'd like to circle back to something you 1494 01:03:16,210 --> 01:03:13,430 just said though is there if a big part 1495 01:03:18,250 --> 01:03:16,220 of this model and what I think is 1496 01:03:20,530 --> 01:03:18,260 important especially for your your 1497 01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:20,540 scientific listeners are your listeners 1498 01:03:24,340 --> 01:03:22,130 that are involved in the scientists as 1499 01:03:26,590 --> 01:03:24,350 to understand is that it is a testable 1500 01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:26,600 hypothesis it's falsifiable and as you 1501 01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:28,970 mentioned even if we wipe ourselves out 1502 01:03:37,810 --> 01:03:33,890 we've still tested this model we we by 1503 01:03:39,910 --> 01:03:37,820 definition we would become them and at 1504 01:03:41,860 --> 01:03:39,920 that point at which we do or whatever 1505 01:03:44,140 --> 01:03:41,870 point they decide to let us in on this 1506 01:03:46,150 --> 01:03:44,150 we would understand this we would know 1507 01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:46,160 this we could search the heavens for 1508 01:03:50,950 --> 01:03:48,410 millenia trying to find organisms on 1509 01:03:52,660 --> 01:03:50,960 other planets that fit our hominin form 1510 01:03:54,609 --> 01:03:52,670 and and just keep 1511 01:03:56,559 --> 01:03:54,619 keep looking but at some point we would 1512 01:03:58,319 --> 01:03:56,569 eventually become them under this model 1513 01:04:01,569 --> 01:03:58,329 and I think that's an important thing to 1514 01:04:03,039 --> 01:04:01,579 mention and like you said yeah why would 1515 01:04:04,900 --> 01:04:03,049 they why would they constantly be 1516 01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:04,910 telling us take care of your planet that 1517 01:04:09,059 --> 01:04:06,890 are warning us about nuclear weapons or 1518 01:04:11,710 --> 01:04:09,069 why would there be so many reports 1519 01:04:14,289 --> 01:04:11,720 during major historic events like World 1520 01:04:17,710 --> 01:04:14,299 War two and the Foo Fighters or with all 1521 01:04:19,450 --> 01:04:17,720 of the sightings over major historic 1522 01:04:22,049 --> 01:04:19,460 prehistoric sites all of those things 1523 01:04:24,940 --> 01:04:22,059 just make more sense in the context of 1524 01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:24,950 future humans investigating their past 1525 01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:28,010 or possibly even tourism like hockey and 1526 01:04:32,950 --> 01:04:29,210 always said what we started this 1527 01:04:35,020 --> 01:04:32,960 conversation with earlier is that if 1528 01:04:36,789 --> 01:04:35,030 because we're not inundated with time 1529 01:04:39,549 --> 01:04:36,799 tourists means time travel must not 1530 01:04:41,500 --> 01:04:39,559 exist and I counter that by saying we're 1531 01:04:43,539 --> 01:04:41,510 probably seeing them all the time and 1532 01:04:45,700 --> 01:04:43,549 that's what the UFO phenomenon is or at 1533 01:04:48,789 --> 01:04:45,710 least a big part of it so I think it's 1534 01:04:51,250 --> 01:04:48,799 important to also acknowledge those 1535 01:04:55,020 --> 01:04:51,260 things but but ya know the a big part I 1536 01:04:58,870 --> 01:04:55,030 would say as I just mentioned the first 1537 01:05:02,170 --> 01:04:58,880 major focus of this book is on our 1538 01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:02,180 evolutionary anatomy and what links our 1539 01:05:06,849 --> 01:05:04,730 past to our present and our present to 1540 01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:06,859 our presumed future but the other big 1541 01:05:12,549 --> 01:05:08,930 part is time you can't talk about time 1542 01:05:14,349 --> 01:05:12,559 and time travel and the context of this 1543 01:05:16,930 --> 01:05:14,359 phenomenon without providing a very 1544 01:05:19,049 --> 01:05:16,940 detailed account of our current 1545 01:05:21,670 --> 01:05:19,059 understanding of what time is or how 1546 01:05:23,770 --> 01:05:21,680 backward time travel may be achieved so 1547 01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:23,780 a big section throughout the middle of 1548 01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:27,010 the book focus is on the history of our 1549 01:05:33,069 --> 01:05:30,170 understanding of time and what time 1550 01:05:34,270 --> 01:05:33,079 means cross-culturally it's really 1551 01:05:36,940 --> 01:05:34,280 interesting to look at how other 1552 01:05:40,059 --> 01:05:36,950 cultures perceive time or don't at all 1553 01:05:42,940 --> 01:05:40,069 some societies don't have any word or 1554 01:05:44,910 --> 01:05:42,950 any verbs that describe actions and the 1555 01:05:48,190 --> 01:05:44,920 past or the future 1556 01:05:50,829 --> 01:05:48,200 so just acknowledging that variation and 1557 01:05:53,500 --> 01:05:50,839 our understanding of perception of time 1558 01:05:56,430 --> 01:05:53,510 and then really getting into how 1559 01:05:58,510 --> 01:05:56,440 physicists understand time they 1560 01:06:00,130 --> 01:05:58,520 historians and logicians and 1561 01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:00,140 philosophers would probably argue with 1562 01:06:04,359 --> 01:06:01,970 this to some extent but but physicists 1563 01:06:06,490 --> 01:06:04,369 are in the best position to really 1564 01:06:09,430 --> 01:06:06,500 understand what time is 1565 01:06:11,140 --> 01:06:09,440 and they in engineers and people and 1566 01:06:13,950 --> 01:06:11,150 material sciences are probably going to 1567 01:06:17,470 --> 01:06:13,960 be the most instrumental and actually 1568 01:06:22,090 --> 01:06:17,480 developing a time machine so I really 1569 01:06:25,660 --> 01:06:22,100 turn to modern physics research research 1570 01:06:27,550 --> 01:06:25,670 in quantum mechanics with regard to not 1571 01:06:30,070 --> 01:06:27,560 just how we might achieve backward time 1572 01:06:33,010 --> 01:06:30,080 travel when I go into great detail about 1573 01:06:35,140 --> 01:06:33,020 that and looking at early research in 1574 01:06:37,930 --> 01:06:35,150 this with Van Stockham and gödel and 1575 01:06:40,690 --> 01:06:37,940 Tipler and modern research that's that's 1576 01:06:43,090 --> 01:06:40,700 come from that much of which really all 1577 01:06:45,910 --> 01:06:43,100 of which started with Einstein and his 1578 01:06:48,430 --> 01:06:45,920 general relativity model and different 1579 01:06:51,130 --> 01:06:48,440 solutions to his field equations so I go 1580 01:06:52,660 --> 01:06:51,140 deep into that but then also get into 1581 01:06:54,970 --> 01:06:52,670 what your you're talking about you know 1582 01:06:57,910 --> 01:06:54,980 what happens if we travel through time 1583 01:07:00,250 --> 01:06:57,920 and the the big questions always sent 1584 01:07:02,410 --> 01:07:00,260 around paradoxes the grandfather paradox 1585 01:07:04,990 --> 01:07:02,420 and other consistency paradoxes and you 1586 01:07:09,130 --> 01:07:05,000 see these in television and movies all 1587 01:07:12,250 --> 01:07:09,140 the time many books really look at time 1588 01:07:15,730 --> 01:07:12,260 travel and unobscured terms and fantasy 1589 01:07:17,890 --> 01:07:15,740 terms but well what I found that I have 1590 01:07:19,750 --> 01:07:17,900 to do often times and talking about this 1591 01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:19,760 book and talking about modern physics 1592 01:07:23,980 --> 01:07:22,370 research into this question is correct a 1593 01:07:26,350 --> 01:07:23,990 lot of those assumptions that people 1594 01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:26,360 have that they've gotten from things 1595 01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:29,210 like back to the future or Futurama or 1596 01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:31,370 any other a show that talks about that 1597 01:07:36,070 --> 01:07:33,410 future Futurama they actually do a great 1598 01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:36,080 job they really acknowledge paradoxes 1599 01:07:39,820 --> 01:07:37,970 and try to stay consistent with it and 1600 01:07:42,790 --> 01:07:39,830 they have I think collectively they had 1601 01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:42,800 50 years at Harvard and masters and PhD 1602 01:07:46,030 --> 01:07:44,690 programs the writers on that show it's a 1603 01:07:48,310 --> 01:07:46,040 very good show and they do a great job 1604 01:07:50,590 --> 01:07:48,320 but there are a lot of others that don't 1605 01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:50,600 they don't have that expertise to draw 1606 01:07:56,500 --> 01:07:54,170 from and and so I find that that I often 1607 01:07:58,570 --> 01:07:56,510 am addressing those things and those 1608 01:08:00,430 --> 01:07:58,580 questions that relate to the paradoxes 1609 01:08:03,700 --> 01:08:00,440 and you're right the butterfly effect is 1610 01:08:07,950 --> 01:08:03,710 a big one and and it's important to 1611 01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:07,960 acknowledge though that the the main 1612 01:08:14,890 --> 01:08:11,330 idea or the consensus among among 1613 01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:14,900 physicists is that time and space exist 1614 01:08:19,269 --> 01:08:17,210 is one giant entity what they refer to 1615 01:08:20,270 --> 01:08:19,279 as block time or landscape time or the 1616 01:08:22,250 --> 01:08:20,280 block universe 1617 01:08:26,270 --> 01:08:22,260 something that you often time here we're 1618 01:08:28,700 --> 01:08:26,280 all moments all events that ever existed 1619 01:08:30,530 --> 01:08:28,710 or will exist from the beginning of the 1620 01:08:33,230 --> 01:08:30,540 Big Bang to the end of time when all 1621 01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:33,240 matter is sucked up into black holes or 1622 01:08:40,250 --> 01:08:36,570 however happens exists is one static 1623 01:08:43,610 --> 01:08:40,260 block of space-time and we as cognizant 1624 01:08:45,860 --> 01:08:43,620 organisms biological beings move through 1625 01:08:49,610 --> 01:08:45,870 that and it feels like we do so linearly 1626 01:08:51,650 --> 01:08:49,620 we perceive these events that are exist 1627 01:08:54,020 --> 01:08:51,660 as part of the static block universe as 1628 01:08:56,630 --> 01:08:54,030 a sequential series of events we have 1629 01:08:59,630 --> 01:08:56,640 this entrenched idea of an arrow of time 1630 01:09:02,210 --> 01:08:59,640 or linear time which really is is kind 1631 01:09:04,550 --> 01:09:02,220 of a false sense of how things work 1632 01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:04,560 almost everything in physics is time 1633 01:09:08,510 --> 01:09:06,690 reversible it's time neutral can it 1634 01:09:10,820 --> 01:09:08,520 makes just as much sense running from 1635 01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:10,830 future to past as it does from past to 1636 01:09:17,300 --> 01:09:14,730 future but we see see things as 1637 01:09:19,730 --> 01:09:17,310 progressing in this way so a lot of a 1638 01:09:21,380 --> 01:09:19,740 lot of those issues related to the 1639 01:09:23,390 --> 01:09:21,390 butterfly effect and consistency 1640 01:09:25,790 --> 01:09:23,400 paradoxes just have to do with our 1641 01:09:29,480 --> 01:09:25,800 entrenched view of linear time rather 1642 01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:29,490 than being some some violation of the 1643 01:09:33,530 --> 01:09:31,410 physical laws of the universe so I think 1644 01:09:38,030 --> 01:09:33,540 it's important to make that distinction 1645 01:09:39,530 --> 01:09:38,040 and then I really dive into what's 1646 01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:39,540 what's referred to as the Novikov 1647 01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:41,850 self-consistency principle he was a 1648 01:09:46,150 --> 01:09:43,410 Russian physicist he was really 1649 01:09:48,830 --> 01:09:46,160 instrumental and continues to be 1650 01:09:50,540 --> 01:09:48,840 instrumental and providing clarity on 1651 01:09:53,570 --> 01:09:50,550 these issues and hope he's helping us 1652 01:09:57,290 --> 01:09:53,580 understand how the future can dictate 1653 01:09:58,910 --> 01:09:57,300 events in the past given that the future 1654 01:10:00,440 --> 01:09:58,920 present and past are all one if you 1655 01:10:02,930 --> 01:10:00,450 understand it in the context of this 1656 01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:02,940 block universe and block time then none 1657 01:10:06,890 --> 01:10:04,890 of them are ahead of or behind each 1658 01:10:08,870 --> 01:10:06,900 other in the presence of a time machine 1659 01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:08,880 once you have a time machine the ability 1660 01:10:13,370 --> 01:10:10,370 to travel through the block universe 1661 01:10:15,230 --> 01:10:13,380 there there is no pass to future 1662 01:10:18,230 --> 01:10:15,240 causality any longer and this has 1663 01:10:22,550 --> 01:10:18,240 actually recently been demonstrated with 1664 01:10:26,900 --> 01:10:22,560 with some experiments in physics looking 1665 01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:26,910 at wheelers Gedanken models and things 1666 01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:29,250 that are probably not something I should 1667 01:10:32,570 --> 01:10:30,530 go into now because they're pretty 1668 01:10:34,220 --> 01:10:32,580 complex and I probably put people to 1669 01:10:37,010 --> 01:10:34,230 sleep with it but 1670 01:10:39,010 --> 01:10:37,020 the the main takeaway here is that 1671 01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:39,020 visiting in the past its non-disruptive 1672 01:10:44,689 --> 01:10:42,330 so anything resulting from someone 1673 01:10:47,540 --> 01:10:44,699 visiting the past interacting with the 1674 01:10:49,700 --> 01:10:47,550 past already occurred before that person 1675 01:10:52,189 --> 01:10:49,710 ever left from the future to go to the 1676 01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:52,199 past it's it's always a part of it so 1677 01:10:56,689 --> 01:10:54,330 there's an inherent self-consistency 1678 01:10:58,970 --> 01:10:56,699 that's maintained across these different 1679 01:11:00,410 --> 01:10:58,980 slices of block time so we don't have to 1680 01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:00,420 worry about a butterfly effect we don't 1681 01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:02,610 have to worry about a new parallel 1682 01:11:06,830 --> 01:11:04,890 universe papi now for the universe 1683 01:11:07,490 --> 01:11:06,840 having to correct itself when we travel 1684 01:11:09,410 --> 01:11:07,500 into the past 1685 01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:09,420 because it's already self-correcting 1686 01:11:16,490 --> 01:11:11,090 there's already self-consistency 1687 01:11:18,290 --> 01:11:16,500 inherent across the block universe this 1688 01:11:20,390 --> 01:11:18,300 is this really fascinating to me 1689 01:11:22,689 --> 01:11:20,400 I was gonna mention I'm just going to 1690 01:11:25,100 --> 01:11:22,699 talk about parallel universe Possible's 1691 01:11:27,979 --> 01:11:25,110 possibilities and other dimensions and 1692 01:11:29,810 --> 01:11:27,989 all that but I I wanted to you know when 1693 01:11:31,970 --> 01:11:29,820 you're talking about time in the very 1694 01:11:34,729 --> 01:11:31,980 beginning back there it reminded me of I 1695 01:11:37,939 --> 01:11:34,739 had a great science teacher in high 1696 01:11:40,220 --> 01:11:37,949 school and he said on Friday afternoon 1697 01:11:42,229 --> 01:11:40,230 he said okay your your assignment for 1698 01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:42,239 this week is weekend is to come back 1699 01:11:50,300 --> 01:11:45,210 with a full definition of time and then 1700 01:11:51,590 --> 01:11:50,310 he and I remember you know I really it 1701 01:11:53,180 --> 01:11:51,600 was a fascinating Monday was a 1702 01:11:55,580 --> 01:11:53,190 fascinating day I can't really remember 1703 01:11:59,240 --> 01:11:55,590 yet it's a long long time ago but yeah 1704 01:12:00,590 --> 01:11:59,250 but you know was I you know basically 1705 01:12:04,419 --> 01:12:00,600 we're saying well this is how you 1706 01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:04,429 measure you know like you know you know 1707 01:12:08,330 --> 01:12:06,690 measure moments you know type of thing 1708 01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:08,340 but no one could really I mean there 1709 01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:11,130 really isn't you know what is the best 1710 01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:13,770 description of time and and how how we 1711 01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:15,810 understand it you know you said that any 1712 01:12:19,790 --> 01:12:17,370 old time and that's all we can really 1713 01:12:23,090 --> 01:12:19,800 understand right my favorite definition 1714 01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:23,100 of time physicists or his first name 1715 01:12:28,189 --> 01:12:26,730 William Phillips maybe well he quoted 1716 01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:28,199 this I guess it was Einstein that first 1717 01:12:32,990 --> 01:12:31,290 said it but he he would often respond to 1718 01:12:36,380 --> 01:12:33,000 that question with time as what clocks 1719 01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:36,390 measure yeah and that was it because no 1720 01:12:40,130 --> 01:12:38,250 but if own people like Einstein don't 1721 01:12:42,260 --> 01:12:40,140 fully understand what time is and we 1722 01:12:43,970 --> 01:12:42,270 have gotten a much better idea since 1723 01:12:45,919 --> 01:12:43,980 then and especially with research and 1724 01:12:47,839 --> 01:12:45,929 the quantum mechanics and particle 1725 01:12:50,060 --> 01:12:47,849 physics and cosmology and 1726 01:12:52,419 --> 01:12:50,070 formation of the universe we have a much 1727 01:12:55,700 --> 01:12:52,429 better understanding than we used to but 1728 01:12:56,899 --> 01:12:55,710 it's still something that eludes us and 1729 01:12:58,910 --> 01:12:56,909 I think that's awesome 1730 01:13:01,069 --> 01:12:58,920 that you're your teacher asked that 1731 01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:01,079 question and especially with no clarity 1732 01:13:05,419 --> 01:13:03,449 given whatsoever just throwing it out 1733 01:13:08,629 --> 01:13:05,429 there and say are you guys figure that's 1734 01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:08,639 a great teaching tool heuristic devices 1735 01:13:13,490 --> 01:13:10,530 we call them because it forces you to 1736 01:13:16,189 --> 01:13:13,500 think well what is he asking or she I 1737 01:13:17,930 --> 01:13:16,199 don't know yeah and and what why did 1738 01:13:19,339 --> 01:13:17,940 they ask that and well what if they were 1739 01:13:20,899 --> 01:13:19,349 asking for this reason then you have to 1740 01:13:22,790 --> 01:13:20,909 go and look at all of these different 1741 01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:22,800 things and you get a much deeper insight 1742 01:13:27,020 --> 01:13:25,050 into that thing and with time it takes 1743 01:13:29,510 --> 01:13:27,030 that with something as complex as time 1744 01:13:32,390 --> 01:13:29,520 it takes really coming at it in all of 1745 01:13:35,750 --> 01:13:32,400 these different ways and I remember our 1746 01:13:38,419 --> 01:13:35,760 social media site for academics early 1747 01:13:41,540 --> 01:13:38,429 swear we can keep track of publications 1748 01:13:44,870 --> 01:13:41,550 and who's publishing what when is a site 1749 01:13:47,390 --> 01:13:44,880 called research gate and I think was 1750 01:13:49,790 --> 01:13:47,400 last year sometime one of my peer 1751 01:13:52,189 --> 01:13:49,800 reviewers asked a very specific and 1752 01:13:55,700 --> 01:13:52,199 insightful question I'm related to a 1753 01:13:57,500 --> 01:13:55,710 specific aspect of time and because 1754 01:13:59,120 --> 01:13:57,510 there's so many different academics from 1755 01:14:01,550 --> 01:13:59,130 all over the world and the site I just 1756 01:14:03,890 --> 01:14:01,560 posted her question copy and pasted it 1757 01:14:06,050 --> 01:14:03,900 on to research gate and within a day 1758 01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:06,060 there was something like 200 responses 1759 01:14:13,490 --> 01:14:10,050 by PhDs in physics and philosophy and 1760 01:14:15,530 --> 01:14:13,500 history and astronomy just coming out of 1761 01:14:17,300 --> 01:14:15,540 the woodwork because people are so 1762 01:14:20,300 --> 01:14:17,310 passionate about and it's this one of 1763 01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:20,310 the last great unknowns is not not just 1764 01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:24,090 what time is but but how how do we 1765 01:14:28,939 --> 01:14:25,770 really understand it and how could we 1766 01:14:31,310 --> 01:14:28,949 manipulate it potentially in the same 1767 01:14:33,530 --> 01:14:31,320 way that you see with all of these 1768 01:14:35,390 --> 01:14:33,540 celestial bodies and black holes where 1769 01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:35,400 there's this tremendous war bridge of 1770 01:14:41,270 --> 01:14:37,530 space and time and with very rapid 1771 01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:41,280 movement high velocity and it was it was 1772 01:14:44,990 --> 01:14:43,290 really unsafe I read every single one of 1773 01:14:48,050 --> 01:14:45,000 them and I'd kind of jump in from time 1774 01:14:51,890 --> 01:14:48,060 to time but what I really just watched 1775 01:14:53,780 --> 01:14:51,900 is this really complex conversation 1776 01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:53,790 unfolded in front of me because of this 1777 01:14:58,010 --> 01:14:56,010 one simple question that one of my peer 1778 01:15:00,770 --> 01:14:58,020 reviewers asked about and and I think 1779 01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:00,780 that's a testament to how how 1780 01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:01,770 interesting 1781 01:15:11,570 --> 01:15:04,770 but yet how elusive the question of time 1782 01:15:13,070 --> 01:15:11,580 really is right right now the the one 1783 01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:13,080 question I have for you now there have 1784 01:15:20,300 --> 01:15:17,970 been people reporting abductions 1785 01:15:22,730 --> 01:15:20,310 the earliest known one was in the 1920s 1786 01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:22,740 and then you really didn't hear of 1787 01:15:28,550 --> 01:15:25,770 anything then you heard nineteen sixty 1788 01:15:30,740 --> 01:15:28,560 62 with a Betty and Barney Hill and then 1789 01:15:32,510 --> 01:15:30,750 and then you start and then Travis 1790 01:15:35,150 --> 01:15:32,520 Walton and then you you started hearing 1791 01:15:40,220 --> 01:15:35,160 more and more of them I guess the 1792 01:15:42,740 --> 01:15:40,230 question is for you is why now why in 1793 01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:42,750 the modern more what we were going to 1794 01:15:48,050 --> 01:15:45,570 call the modern times modern UFO you 1795 01:15:51,260 --> 01:15:48,060 know we called the modern UFOs 1947 so 1796 01:15:54,410 --> 01:15:51,270 till now type of thing but why would you 1797 01:15:56,900 --> 01:15:54,420 suspect that there wasn't these 1798 01:15:58,520 --> 01:15:56,910 situations happening prior to or do you 1799 01:16:02,360 --> 01:15:58,530 think they may have been happening and 1800 01:16:04,820 --> 01:16:02,370 just not not imported I I think they've 1801 01:16:07,430 --> 01:16:04,830 been happening as far back into the past 1802 01:16:11,210 --> 01:16:07,440 as our future descendants are able to go 1803 01:16:13,370 --> 01:16:11,220 I think and that's probably a really it 1804 01:16:16,190 --> 01:16:13,380 might be an evolving point in the past 1805 01:16:17,990 --> 01:16:16,200 to where with advances in technology 1806 01:16:20,870 --> 01:16:18,000 with the ability to go faster 1807 01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:20,880 well light cones are oriented toward the 1808 01:16:25,070 --> 01:16:22,770 past and you can create closed timelike 1809 01:16:29,090 --> 01:16:25,080 curves I think the challenge will be how 1810 01:16:31,790 --> 01:16:29,100 fast can they go where what time can 1811 01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:31,800 they get to physically in the past and I 1812 01:16:39,050 --> 01:16:35,970 think that will be a really important 1813 01:16:40,790 --> 01:16:39,060 threshold and one that will continue to 1814 01:16:43,940 --> 01:16:40,800 be pushed because it's important if 1815 01:16:46,610 --> 01:16:43,950 you're studying the past and you are 1816 01:16:48,530 --> 01:16:46,620 able to collect data from that past the 1817 01:16:51,020 --> 01:16:48,540 earlier you can go the more information 1818 01:16:53,690 --> 01:16:51,030 you have the broader the span of your 1819 01:16:56,090 --> 01:16:53,700 knowledge is so I think from whatever 1820 01:16:58,520 --> 01:16:56,100 point they're able to they have been 1821 01:17:01,640 --> 01:16:58,530 doing it and I can't say what point in 1822 01:17:04,820 --> 01:17:01,650 the past that is I think I actually saw 1823 01:17:08,090 --> 01:17:04,830 you know I think it was maybe even under 1824 01:17:11,150 --> 01:17:08,100 hypnosis Jim Penniston talking about the 1825 01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:11,160 information he was given a binary code 1826 01:17:15,229 --> 01:17:14,010 type of situation but but mentioned the 1827 01:17:16,700 --> 01:17:15,239 same thing I found this 1828 01:17:19,549 --> 01:17:16,710 after I published the book so it was 1829 01:17:21,379 --> 01:17:19,559 really interesting to see but then even 1830 01:17:23,299 --> 01:17:21,389 saying they could only go I think was 1831 01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:23,309 something like fifty thousand years into 1832 01:17:28,430 --> 01:17:25,530 the past just because of limitations and 1833 01:17:31,970 --> 01:17:28,440 and their craft and and the speed at 1834 01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:31,980 which they could obtain so no I think I 1835 01:17:37,399 --> 01:17:35,010 think it's probably two things an aspect 1836 01:17:40,790 --> 01:17:37,409 of that is somewhat becoming normalized 1837 01:17:42,169 --> 01:17:40,800 and that's really amazing to see right 1838 01:17:44,330 --> 01:17:42,179 now that it's something that's coming 1839 01:17:47,089 --> 01:17:44,340 out in the media more and it's it's 1840 01:17:49,129 --> 01:17:47,099 becoming something that's discussed and 1841 01:17:51,770 --> 01:17:49,139 those that have said no UFOs aren't real 1842 01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:51,780 or now having to really take a step back 1843 01:17:54,919 --> 01:17:53,730 and think about that and try to assess 1844 01:18:00,259 --> 01:17:54,929 whether they're just being closed-minded 1845 01:18:02,540 --> 01:18:00,269 or have biases or just really don't want 1846 01:18:08,020 --> 01:18:02,550 them to be real but in any case I think 1847 01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:08,030 that at some point we're gonna have to 1848 01:18:13,399 --> 01:18:11,130 come to grips with this that if if this 1849 01:18:17,419 --> 01:18:13,409 has been happening if this is happening 1850 01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:17,429 now and it's becoming normalized we're 1851 01:18:20,419 --> 01:18:19,170 gonna hear about it more as we hear 1852 01:18:22,339 --> 01:18:20,429 about it more it's going to help with 1853 01:18:25,250 --> 01:18:22,349 that normality and you can kind of hear 1854 01:18:27,620 --> 01:18:25,260 this drip drip drip of disclosure that 1855 01:18:29,779 --> 01:18:27,630 that we're just moving toward this point 1856 01:18:31,489 --> 01:18:29,789 where it might be something that's 1857 01:18:33,529 --> 01:18:31,499 that's widely Ignazio right about that 1858 01:18:35,299 --> 01:18:33,539 toward the end of the book where if we 1859 01:18:37,430 --> 01:18:35,309 do get to the point where there isn't 1860 01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:37,440 secrecy surrounding the subject and 1861 01:18:40,910 --> 01:18:39,449 these are indeed our future descendants 1862 01:18:43,370 --> 01:18:40,920 coming back through time and we don't 1863 01:18:45,169 --> 01:18:43,380 have to worry about disruptions to space 1864 01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:45,179 time or the butterfly effect or anything 1865 01:18:50,930 --> 01:18:48,570 like that it's possible that in the 1866 01:18:52,879 --> 01:18:50,940 future even the proximate future the 1867 01:18:54,950 --> 01:18:52,889 next hundred years or twenty years or 1868 01:18:58,189 --> 01:18:54,960 whatever point they decide we're ready 1869 01:18:59,779 --> 01:18:58,199 to know this we it could be as common to 1870 01:19:01,879 --> 01:18:59,789 hang out with people from a thousand 1871 01:19:03,979 --> 01:19:01,889 years in the future as it is now to hang 1872 01:19:06,109 --> 01:19:03,989 out with people from sub-saharan Africa 1873 01:19:09,410 --> 01:19:06,119 or Australia or the Far East or Europe 1874 01:19:11,569 --> 01:19:09,420 or the United States wherever we we see 1875 01:19:14,750 --> 01:19:11,579 variation geographically what refer to 1876 01:19:16,339 --> 01:19:14,760 as geographic race or ancestry but in 1877 01:19:19,189 --> 01:19:16,349 the future we could potentially be 1878 01:19:22,509 --> 01:19:19,199 interacting with people who have 1879 01:19:24,890 --> 01:19:22,519 temporal ancestry they have variation 1880 01:19:26,419 --> 01:19:24,900 resulting from where they came from in 1881 01:19:28,219 --> 01:19:26,429 time and I think that would be an 1882 01:19:29,060 --> 01:19:28,229 amazing thing to see and I certainly 1883 01:19:33,669 --> 01:19:29,070 hope that happened 1884 01:19:36,140 --> 01:19:33,679 my lifetime mm-hmm-hmm I wanted to just 1885 01:19:38,030 --> 01:19:36,150 another thing that I was just thinking 1886 01:19:42,260 --> 01:19:38,040 of just now is that a lot of times we 1887 01:19:44,030 --> 01:19:42,270 think of how people in even sometimes 1888 01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:44,040 just a few hundred years in the past 1889 01:19:48,979 --> 01:19:47,130 maybe not being as bright as us and and 1890 01:19:52,550 --> 01:19:48,989 I I don't agree with that at all as a 1891 01:19:55,310 --> 01:19:52,560 matter of fact you know I transcribed a 1892 01:19:58,399 --> 01:19:55,320 six-page letter of George Washington 1893 01:20:00,649 --> 01:19:58,409 wrote and I had to use the dictionary 25 1894 01:20:01,939 --> 01:20:00,659 times and there wasn't and then those 1895 01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:01,949 six pages it wasn't one single 1896 01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:05,730 misspelled and Wow so but and they were 1897 01:20:08,899 --> 01:20:07,290 writing it by hand weren't they they 1898 01:20:12,229 --> 01:20:08,909 were there is nothing else there is no 1899 01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:12,239 spellcheck yeah and raisin and so but 1900 01:20:16,339 --> 01:20:14,130 you go back in time and you know we just 1901 01:20:19,790 --> 01:20:16,349 assumed that people weren't as bright 1902 01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:19,800 and and I and I disagree I feel like 1903 01:20:25,010 --> 01:20:21,810 people have been you know just as smart 1904 01:20:26,839 --> 01:20:25,020 and and you know I mean you just for a 1905 01:20:29,419 --> 01:20:26,849 college person to pass a fourth-grade 1906 01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:29,429 test that was 200 years ago maybe 1907 01:20:35,089 --> 01:20:32,250 difficult you know I mean there's yeah 1908 01:20:37,580 --> 01:20:35,099 anyway what I'm getting at is do you 1909 01:20:40,459 --> 01:20:37,590 think there is a trend toward an 1910 01:20:43,490 --> 01:20:40,469 evolutionary trend to actual brain size 1911 01:20:45,859 --> 01:20:43,500 actually growing well 1912 01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:45,869 that's it's a an interesting question 1913 01:20:49,790 --> 01:20:47,489 there's a couple things going on with it 1914 01:20:53,060 --> 01:20:49,800 yes our brains have certainly been 1915 01:20:56,030 --> 01:20:53,070 growing larger over evolutionary time 1916 01:20:58,729 --> 01:20:56,040 and it's an accelerating change over the 1917 01:21:00,290 --> 01:20:58,739 last 800,000 years in particular our 1918 01:21:03,290 --> 01:21:00,300 brains have been getting much bigger 1919 01:21:05,959 --> 01:21:03,300 they've shrunk a little bit over the 1920 01:21:08,629 --> 01:21:05,969 last 10,000 years which is actually just 1921 01:21:13,609 --> 01:21:08,639 a result of our overall body size 1922 01:21:16,339 --> 01:21:13,619 reducing since about 30 25 30 thousand 1923 01:21:18,410 --> 01:21:16,349 years ago across the board almost every 1924 01:21:21,950 --> 01:21:18,420 human group has seen a reduction in body 1925 01:21:24,020 --> 01:21:21,960 size and but what's important to keep in 1926 01:21:26,810 --> 01:21:24,030 mind is it's not just size when it comes 1927 01:21:32,180 --> 01:21:26,820 to the brain in fact a lot of my 1928 01:21:36,620 --> 01:21:32,190 research specifically looks at at MRIs 1929 01:21:39,109 --> 01:21:36,630 and the connections among the brain the 1930 01:21:41,510 --> 01:21:39,119 thickness of different Joey within the 1931 01:21:41,839 --> 01:21:41,520 brain the relationship to I sighs how 1932 01:21:42,770 --> 01:21:41,849 the eye 1933 01:21:44,390 --> 01:21:42,780 really 1934 01:21:47,390 --> 01:21:44,400 it's two different structures within the 1935 01:21:49,250 --> 01:21:47,400 brain as well and one thing I found in 1936 01:21:51,169 --> 01:21:49,260 researching these things is that it's 1937 01:21:53,930 --> 01:21:51,179 almost as far as intelligence goes 1938 01:21:55,970 --> 01:21:53,940 better to have a smaller brain there's 1939 01:21:58,250 --> 01:21:55,980 denser connections it's it's dendritic 1940 01:22:00,290 --> 01:21:58,260 density Wow that really plays into 1941 01:22:03,169 --> 01:22:00,300 intelligence more than just the overall 1942 01:22:06,100 --> 01:22:03,179 size of the brain with that said there's 1943 01:22:09,260 --> 01:22:06,110 no doubt that our increase in brain size 1944 01:22:11,330 --> 01:22:09,270 over the last four to five million years 1945 01:22:13,609 --> 01:22:11,340 in particular and especially in the last 1946 01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:13,619 800,000 years there's no doubt that it's 1947 01:22:19,490 --> 01:22:17,610 correlated with intelligence we can see 1948 01:22:21,770 --> 01:22:19,500 that clearly in our culture and the 1949 01:22:24,319 --> 01:22:21,780 evolution of technology they're very 1950 01:22:26,299 --> 01:22:24,329 intricately linked but in looking at 1951 01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:26,309 differences among modern humans or 1952 01:22:31,370 --> 01:22:29,610 between the sexes or what have you size 1953 01:22:33,140 --> 01:22:31,380 of the brain isn't that important most 1954 01:22:35,510 --> 01:22:33,150 of it comes down to organization of the 1955 01:22:38,540 --> 01:22:35,520 brain the density of the dendritic 1956 01:22:40,459 --> 01:22:38,550 connections the shape and that's the 1957 01:22:42,529 --> 01:22:40,469 main thing to keep in mind as you talked 1958 01:22:43,910 --> 01:22:42,539 about earlier how we define modern 1959 01:22:46,459 --> 01:22:43,920 humans but we actually do have a 1960 01:22:48,979 --> 01:22:46,469 definition for that and the two main 1961 01:22:52,310 --> 01:22:48,989 traits that define anatomically modern 1962 01:22:54,290 --> 01:22:52,320 Homo sapiens sapiens are that globular T 1963 01:22:56,779 --> 01:22:54,300 that I mentioned earlier the rounded 1964 01:22:59,089 --> 01:22:56,789 skull shape where our parietal lobes and 1965 01:23:01,520 --> 01:22:59,099 our temporal lobes have expanded medial 1966 01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:01,530 at earlier from inside out but then also 1967 01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:04,050 a facial retraction to the extent that 1968 01:23:09,979 --> 01:23:06,570 we have a chin or a mental eminence as 1969 01:23:12,229 --> 01:23:09,989 we call it so the chin is actually one 1970 01:23:14,270 --> 01:23:12,239 of the criteria we use and and another 1971 01:23:16,790 --> 01:23:14,280 thing to keep in mind is that we're 1972 01:23:18,740 --> 01:23:16,800 talking about a continuous change so we 1973 01:23:21,350 --> 01:23:18,750 can't necessarily just draw a discreet 1974 01:23:22,879 --> 01:23:21,360 line in this continuum and say now we 1975 01:23:25,490 --> 01:23:22,889 have modern humans that's the first 1976 01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:25,500 person there with a bulbous cranium and 1977 01:23:30,830 --> 01:23:27,690 a chin it doesn't work that way it's a 1978 01:23:33,649 --> 01:23:30,840 continuum so a lot of people like to 1979 01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:33,659 speculate that aliens came down and made 1980 01:23:37,580 --> 01:23:35,610 modern humans or this there's this big 1981 01:23:39,140 --> 01:23:37,590 jump that happened it's just not true 1982 01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:39,150 there's no evidence for that whatsoever 1983 01:23:46,010 --> 01:23:43,610 we see this continuous change but we as 1984 01:23:48,410 --> 01:23:46,020 anthropologists have to have some 1985 01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:48,420 criteria with which to mark that change 1986 01:23:53,810 --> 01:23:51,449 or mark that new form and those are the 1987 01:23:56,270 --> 01:23:53,820 two main characteristics we use so so it 1988 01:23:56,650 --> 01:23:56,280 answer your question size of the brain 1989 01:23:59,770 --> 01:23:56,660 what 1990 01:24:02,610 --> 01:23:59,780 happens from now on isn't as important 1991 01:24:06,250 --> 01:24:02,620 as what shape changes take place and how 1992 01:24:08,380 --> 01:24:06,260 those shape changes are associated with 1993 01:24:11,170 --> 01:24:08,390 other characteristics in the face and 1994 01:24:13,990 --> 01:24:11,180 the body in the context of neoteny paedo 1995 01:24:15,970 --> 01:24:14,000 morphosis retaining juvenile eyes traits 1996 01:24:20,110 --> 01:24:15,980 into adulthood is a big part of the 1997 01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:20,120 shape change that we see and and so so 1998 01:24:25,390 --> 01:24:21,650 yeah brain size is important has been 1999 01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:25,400 important but it's it's really more 2000 01:24:31,180 --> 01:24:28,250 about how our brains are connected 2001 01:24:33,010 --> 01:24:31,190 what's going on inside them and at least 2002 01:24:35,380 --> 01:24:33,020 in the sense of what we see from the 2003 01:24:39,850 --> 01:24:35,390 outside what that overall shape of the 2004 01:24:42,430 --> 01:24:39,860 brain is it's um oh this is probably 2005 01:24:44,710 --> 01:24:42,440 kind of a bizarre question but is there 2006 01:24:46,690 --> 01:24:44,720 those are my favorite kinds of questions 2007 01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:46,700 just so you know okay 2008 01:24:53,110 --> 01:24:49,130 is there a part of the brain that could 2009 01:24:56,500 --> 01:24:53,120 develop enough or has there ever been 2010 01:24:58,630 --> 01:24:56,510 any research into what makes someone be 2011 01:25:03,700 --> 01:24:58,640 able to have telepathy you you know to 2012 01:25:05,970 --> 01:25:03,710 send like a telepathic message is there 2013 01:25:10,170 --> 01:25:05,980 part of the brain that that would 2014 01:25:13,300 --> 01:25:10,180 originate or start to develop or could 2015 01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:13,310 that actually it's really funny you 2016 01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:16,130 mentioned that is the subject of my next 2017 01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:19,370 research project what I I would I I 2018 01:25:25,420 --> 01:25:22,690 would really like to know that too and I 2019 01:25:30,330 --> 01:25:25,430 just actually agreed to co-author a book 2020 01:25:32,830 --> 01:25:30,340 with another PhD who also has a very 2021 01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:32,840 very deep interest in this and for a 2022 01:25:37,930 --> 01:25:35,930 very good reason and and we've talked a 2023 01:25:43,480 --> 01:25:37,940 lot about consciousness and telepathy 2024 01:25:46,620 --> 01:25:43,490 and lucid dreaming and teleport a do it 2025 01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:46,630 but the you it was mentioned earlier 2026 01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:49,010 alejandro mentioned it in his news 2027 01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:52,730 report the remote viewing yes people 2028 01:25:56,830 --> 01:25:54,890 people claim to be able to do this and 2029 01:25:58,480 --> 01:25:56,840 there's a lot of evidence that you know 2030 01:26:02,500 --> 01:25:58,490 some people are actually doing these 2031 01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:02,510 things so yeah we're planning to 2032 01:26:06,820 --> 01:26:05,330 research that more to my knowledge no 2033 01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:06,830 it's one of this it's one of these 2034 01:26:11,850 --> 01:26:09,370 things that much like study 2035 01:26:13,980 --> 01:26:11,860 UFOs are talking about UFOs and aliens 2036 01:26:16,170 --> 01:26:13,990 just instantly gets you nowhere in 2037 01:26:17,970 --> 01:26:16,180 academia yeah there's there's a lot of 2038 01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:17,980 people that have research that don't get 2039 01:26:22,230 --> 01:26:19,570 me wrong but at least in the sense of 2040 01:26:24,660 --> 01:26:22,240 getting grant money to do functional MRI 2041 01:26:27,150 --> 01:26:24,670 analyses of which part of the brain is 2042 01:26:29,850 --> 01:26:27,160 fiery and when someone is remote viewing 2043 01:26:31,860 --> 01:26:29,860 or connecting with another brain 2044 01:26:34,530 --> 01:26:31,870 telepathically I think there's a lot of 2045 01:26:36,930 --> 01:26:34,540 a lot of room to move about the cabin 2046 01:26:39,420 --> 01:26:36,940 and there's a lot of research that could 2047 01:26:41,850 --> 01:26:39,430 help us with actual testable hypotheses 2048 01:26:44,580 --> 01:26:41,860 like I mentioned before it's important 2049 01:26:46,290 --> 01:26:44,590 in doing these things to work within the 2050 01:26:48,390 --> 01:26:46,300 scientific method and to develop 2051 01:26:50,550 --> 01:26:48,400 testable hypotheses and data collection 2052 01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:50,560 and and I'd like to continue with that 2053 01:26:54,270 --> 01:26:52,570 in this research and that to me is the 2054 01:26:57,450 --> 01:26:54,280 next big question is to understand 2055 01:26:59,610 --> 01:26:57,460 consciousness and to understand people's 2056 01:27:02,880 --> 01:26:59,620 psychic abilities certain people have 2057 01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:02,890 real abilities to tell what's going to 2058 01:27:07,890 --> 01:27:05,170 happen in some capacity or another and 2059 01:27:10,860 --> 01:27:07,900 in telepathy I think is just a big part 2060 01:27:13,380 --> 01:27:10,870 of that overarching aspect of 2061 01:27:16,110 --> 01:27:13,390 consciousness that I think is something 2062 01:27:19,020 --> 01:27:16,120 that the humanity should certainly be 2063 01:27:20,850 --> 01:27:19,030 looking into more yeah yeah it certainly 2064 01:27:23,850 --> 01:27:20,860 would save a lot of time and you know 2065 01:27:25,740 --> 01:27:23,860 together cellphones and all that well as 2066 01:27:27,900 --> 01:27:25,750 someone pointed out previously though it 2067 01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:27,910 would make podcasters jobs somewhat 2068 01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:30,130 difficult you know how do you do your 2069 01:27:39,060 --> 01:27:34,330 job if everyone's communicating that's 2070 01:27:42,300 --> 01:27:39,070 right yeah so tune in to the noggin 2071 01:27:43,470 --> 01:27:42,310 yeah this brainwave this frequency yeah 2072 01:27:45,900 --> 01:27:43,480 yeah that's pretty funny 2073 01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:45,910 so I do want to let you know that I did 2074 01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:48,970 put the phone number up we are accepting 2075 01:27:54,390 --> 01:27:51,610 calls for those of you over at kgr a 2076 01:27:58,590 --> 01:27:54,400 radio write this number down it's six 2077 01:28:00,240 --> 01:27:58,600 zero three nine six seven four o3o if 2078 01:28:04,710 --> 01:28:00,250 anyone would like to give us a jingle 2079 01:28:07,680 --> 01:28:04,720 and I got a question for four doctoral 2080 01:28:10,620 --> 01:28:07,690 masters so feel free to give us a call I 2081 01:28:13,500 --> 01:28:10,630 think it's to me this is a very 2082 01:28:14,820 --> 01:28:13,510 fascinating topic it's a little you do 2083 01:28:17,070 --> 01:28:14,830 you mind if I plug the book oh 2084 01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:17,080 absolutely go right to it yes well the 2085 01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:19,690 name of the book is identified flying 2086 01:28:23,310 --> 01:28:22,570 objects a multidisciplinary scientific 2087 01:28:25,950 --> 01:28:23,320 approach to the 2088 01:28:29,580 --> 01:28:25,960 UFO phenomenon and it's available in all 2089 01:28:33,060 --> 01:28:29,590 major platforms the websites probably 2090 01:28:34,770 --> 01:28:33,070 the best place to find places to 2091 01:28:37,770 --> 01:28:34,780 purchase it or to find out more 2092 01:28:40,350 --> 01:28:37,780 information or talks I think it came up 2093 01:28:42,750 --> 01:28:40,360 earlier that I'd be at the International 2094 01:28:44,939 --> 01:28:42,760 UFO Congress and Phoenix in September 2095 01:28:46,609 --> 01:28:44,949 I'll be speaking at the MUFON 50th 2096 01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:46,619 anniversary event in Irvine California 2097 01:28:52,919 --> 01:28:50,170 on in late July 2098 01:28:54,510 --> 01:28:52,929 so there's yeah there's a lot going on 2099 01:28:56,399 --> 01:28:54,520 there's a lot of moving bits and pieces 2100 01:28:58,410 --> 01:28:56,409 and like I've said from the beginning 2101 01:29:01,229 --> 01:28:58,420 it's just an evolving process an 2102 01:29:03,089 --> 01:29:01,239 evolving project and doing things like 2103 01:29:05,609 --> 01:29:03,099 this having conversations with you right 2104 01:29:09,060 --> 01:29:05,619 now is a very important part of that 2105 01:29:11,669 --> 01:29:09,070 yeah yeah I would put the I've actually 2106 01:29:14,939 --> 01:29:11,679 got bumped off of YouTube monetization 2107 01:29:17,250 --> 01:29:14,949 actually when I put a cover of a book up 2108 01:29:20,100 --> 01:29:17,260 so I can't do that anymore but it is 2109 01:29:22,530 --> 01:29:20,110 easy to find on Amazon or actually you 2110 01:29:24,660 --> 01:29:22,540 have as you mentioned your website which 2111 01:29:26,459 --> 01:29:24,670 actually stands for identified objects 2112 01:29:29,459 --> 01:29:26,469 right is that what yeah yeah it's just a 2113 01:29:33,899 --> 01:29:29,469 shortened version of the book I'd fly up 2114 01:29:36,419 --> 01:29:33,909 calm IDF oh why obj which in retrospect 2115 01:29:38,819 --> 01:29:36,429 I was on coast to coast and and George 2116 01:29:40,859 --> 01:29:38,829 Noory was you know doing the whole ship 2117 01:29:43,290 --> 01:29:40,869 EO and he looks like and his website is 2118 01:29:45,930 --> 01:29:43,300 just a random string of numbers all 2119 01:29:48,240 --> 01:29:45,940 right we'll be right back string of 2120 01:29:49,740 --> 01:29:48,250 letters he said I was like ah yeah he's 2121 01:29:51,660 --> 01:29:49,750 right I prize should have done something 2122 01:29:54,629 --> 01:29:51,670 else but I fo was taken I couldn't use 2123 01:30:00,479 --> 01:29:54,639 IFO and I was that was the next best 2124 01:30:02,160 --> 01:30:00,489 idea in my mind is I'd fly aab jaao he 2125 01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:02,170 called me out and he you know Strauss 2126 01:30:07,859 --> 01:30:05,770 what are you doing so yeah well again 2127 01:30:14,010 --> 01:30:07,869 the lines open if anyone like to call in 2128 01:30:17,459 --> 01:30:14,020 and so on as far as the future traits of 2129 01:30:19,700 --> 01:30:17,469 the human anatomy you said a lot of it 2130 01:30:23,250 --> 01:30:19,710 is a lot of it is shaped around 2131 01:30:26,850 --> 01:30:23,260 environment I know you know food supply 2132 01:30:30,569 --> 01:30:26,860 the food and all that but do you think 2133 01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:30,579 that we're I you know I was talking 2134 01:30:34,770 --> 01:30:32,650 really about intelligence and you know 2135 01:30:36,710 --> 01:30:34,780 some I've heard people say this and I 2136 01:30:39,050 --> 01:30:36,720 don't know just people talking whatever 2137 01:30:41,570 --> 01:30:39,060 they say people are getting less 2138 01:30:44,660 --> 01:30:41,580 intelligent is is there there's no way 2139 01:30:46,730 --> 01:30:44,670 to track that that's not really 2140 01:30:49,340 --> 01:30:46,740 happening is it that you're aware of oh 2141 01:30:51,260 --> 01:30:49,350 no there's tons of ways to track that 2142 01:30:54,890 --> 01:30:51,270 absolutely I mean we do all the time 2143 01:30:57,560 --> 01:30:54,900 yeah any time you see any quantitative 2144 01:30:59,570 --> 01:30:57,570 metric about schools or tests or 2145 01:31:03,560 --> 01:30:59,580 especially because we've standardized 2146 01:31:05,450 --> 01:31:03,570 tests for so long high IQ tests or I 2147 01:31:08,470 --> 01:31:05,460 don't know what the FCC rules are so 2148 01:31:11,420 --> 01:31:08,480 I'll just use a nice term our our bunk 2149 01:31:13,730 --> 01:31:11,430 essentially and were developed for very 2150 01:31:16,250 --> 01:31:13,740 horrible reasons as part of the eugenics 2151 01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:16,260 movement they're very racist no really 2152 01:31:21,910 --> 01:31:18,810 yeah I don't learn much credence to IQ 2153 01:31:23,960 --> 01:31:21,920 tests but there are standard 2154 01:31:25,790 --> 01:31:23,970 standardized tests that are very useful 2155 01:31:28,190 --> 01:31:25,800 and we can compare these across 2156 01:31:31,550 --> 01:31:28,200 different countries across different 2157 01:31:34,220 --> 01:31:31,560 demographic groups obviously different 2158 01:31:37,100 --> 01:31:34,230 ages different ethnicities and whatnot 2159 01:31:39,440 --> 01:31:37,110 and see what our intelligence is like 2160 01:31:41,420 --> 01:31:39,450 and yeah we've been falling by the 2161 01:31:44,630 --> 01:31:41,430 wayside certainly and and as you 2162 01:31:47,060 --> 01:31:44,640 mentioned I think it's important to 2163 01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:47,070 think about this to us we're people 2164 01:31:50,510 --> 01:31:48,810 smarter in the past sure as you 2165 01:31:52,430 --> 01:31:50,520 mentioned they were able to write 2166 01:31:54,410 --> 01:31:52,440 without spelling errors with very 2167 01:31:56,630 --> 01:31:54,420 beautiful handwriting and they took 2168 01:31:58,460 --> 01:31:56,640 their time to do it but what what did 2169 01:32:01,310 --> 01:31:58,470 they really produce and how quickly did 2170 01:32:04,280 --> 01:32:01,320 they produce it but culture builds on 2171 01:32:06,650 --> 01:32:04,290 top of culture and technology builds on 2172 01:32:09,290 --> 01:32:06,660 top of technology and there are people 2173 01:32:11,600 --> 01:32:09,300 that drive that forward were very very 2174 01:32:16,100 --> 01:32:11,610 smart people but it almost sounds like 2175 01:32:19,040 --> 01:32:16,110 you're asking are we as a species or the 2176 01:32:22,070 --> 01:32:19,050 average of humans sort of devolving 2177 01:32:24,140 --> 01:32:22,080 together or getting am i I'm often left 2178 01:32:26,780 --> 01:32:24,150 field there no no that's exactly what I 2179 01:32:29,620 --> 01:32:26,790 was wearing yes yeah and I think a lot 2180 01:32:33,710 --> 01:32:29,630 of that comes down to a couple of things 2181 01:32:35,930 --> 01:32:33,720 this is anecdotal to some extent but 2182 01:32:38,420 --> 01:32:35,940 there is also data to back this up and 2183 01:32:41,480 --> 01:32:38,430 studies to back this up that they're on 2184 01:32:44,660 --> 01:32:41,490 average there are more less intelligent 2185 01:32:46,460 --> 01:32:44,670 people in this country than in the past 2186 01:32:48,650 --> 01:32:46,470 and that could partly be because there 2187 01:32:50,660 --> 01:32:48,660 were fewer people in the past it also 2188 01:32:52,370 --> 01:32:50,670 comes down to birth rates 2189 01:32:54,200 --> 01:32:52,380 among different demographic groups and 2190 01:32:56,979 --> 01:32:54,210 especially those in poverty they tend to 2191 01:32:58,550 --> 01:32:56,989 have more children but that's also 2192 01:33:00,979 --> 01:32:58,560 socio-political that they have less 2193 01:33:05,120 --> 01:33:00,989 access to birth control and less 2194 01:33:07,340 --> 01:33:05,130 education about ways to prevent unwanted 2195 01:33:09,830 --> 01:33:07,350 births there's also more rape and abuse 2196 01:33:14,689 --> 01:33:09,840 and a number of things that play into it 2197 01:33:17,630 --> 01:33:14,699 so so yeah and looking at if we are sort 2198 01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:17,640 of devolving or getting dumber we have 2199 01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:20,130 to also factor into it the economic 2200 01:33:25,790 --> 01:33:22,290 situation and the political situation if 2201 01:33:28,700 --> 01:33:25,800 we're cut access to education health 2202 01:33:30,830 --> 01:33:28,710 care preventive measures then then yeah 2203 01:33:33,560 --> 01:33:30,840 you could definitely see the beginning 2204 01:33:37,669 --> 01:33:33,570 of a trend that would continue to push 2205 01:33:39,500 --> 01:33:37,679 us toward more people that have a lower 2206 01:33:42,250 --> 01:33:39,510 education and therefore less 2207 01:33:45,169 --> 01:33:42,260 intelligence as indicated by these 2208 01:33:50,390 --> 01:33:45,179 standardized tests you know I I myself 2209 01:33:52,820 --> 01:33:50,400 have seen a trend in just what I do 2210 01:33:55,310 --> 01:33:52,830 as far as you know your your phone has 2211 01:33:57,650 --> 01:33:55,320 spellcheck for you now you know there's 2212 01:34:00,530 --> 01:33:57,660 all these little things that calculators 2213 01:34:02,780 --> 01:34:00,540 yeah oh we don't say massive right out 2214 01:34:05,270 --> 01:34:02,790 hand you know right out and really you 2215 01:34:08,750 --> 01:34:05,280 know use your brain for it's so much 2216 01:34:12,800 --> 01:34:08,760 easier to ask Siri or or Alexa whatever 2217 01:34:15,070 --> 01:34:12,810 it is and you know and that that way and 2218 01:34:18,380 --> 01:34:15,080 in that way in particular I can see that 2219 01:34:20,570 --> 01:34:18,390 technology is harmful to us and actually 2220 01:34:22,790 --> 01:34:20,580 but but let me ask you this does that 2221 01:34:25,370 --> 01:34:22,800 does that mean we're Dumber or does that 2222 01:34:28,580 --> 01:34:25,380 mean we're smarter because again on 2223 01:34:30,979 --> 01:34:28,590 average you know regardless of what we 2224 01:34:32,720 --> 01:34:30,989 can do or can't do within our brains 2225 01:34:34,640 --> 01:34:32,730 we're still able to learn this 2226 01:34:36,350 --> 01:34:34,650 technology and we're still able to learn 2227 01:34:39,229 --> 01:34:36,360 how to use these apps and it's 2228 01:34:41,810 --> 01:34:39,239 constantly evolving technology that that 2229 01:34:43,580 --> 01:34:41,820 we have to adapt to and and and even 2230 01:34:46,430 --> 01:34:43,590 though yeah we might be getting Dumber 2231 01:34:49,939 --> 01:34:46,440 and certain segments of the population I 2232 01:34:53,320 --> 01:34:49,949 think we're still we still are required 2233 01:34:55,820 --> 01:34:53,330 to do things that a hundred years ago 2234 01:34:58,280 --> 01:34:55,830 just wouldn't really even be something 2235 01:34:59,870 --> 01:34:58,290 we could conceptualize so I don't know 2236 01:35:01,850 --> 01:34:59,880 it's a tough one I think it's a 2237 01:35:03,740 --> 01:35:01,860 multi-faceted day I'm really glad you 2238 01:35:04,550 --> 01:35:03,750 brought it up actually because it's it's 2239 01:35:06,770 --> 01:35:04,560 something that I 2240 01:35:08,570 --> 01:35:06,780 think we all kind of bounce around in 2241 01:35:10,610 --> 01:35:08,580 our heads and as something we should 2242 01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:10,620 have more of a discussion about yeah 2243 01:35:17,810 --> 01:35:15,210 yeah you know getting back to the topic 2244 01:35:22,670 --> 01:35:17,820 that you know my shows about UFOs 2245 01:35:24,260 --> 01:35:22,680 basically do you think that or is some 2246 01:35:28,070 --> 01:35:24,270 of your thoughts that what people are 2247 01:35:31,340 --> 01:35:28,080 seeing as far as a UFO are actually 2248 01:35:33,530 --> 01:35:31,350 carrying people you know from the future 2249 01:35:36,110 --> 01:35:33,540 to the past or do you think some 2250 01:35:37,670 --> 01:35:36,120 possibly that some of them are is that 2251 01:35:41,060 --> 01:35:37,680 is that kind of your theory that these 2252 01:35:44,450 --> 01:35:41,070 are actually time machines yeah I do I 2253 01:35:47,150 --> 01:35:44,460 that's the main argument and the book is 2254 01:35:51,140 --> 01:35:47,160 that these devices these UFOs themselves 2255 01:35:54,740 --> 01:35:51,150 are the actual time machine and I look 2256 01:35:57,650 --> 01:35:54,750 at like I mentioned earlier some of the 2257 01:36:01,310 --> 01:35:57,660 the early solutions to Einstein's field 2258 01:36:05,240 --> 01:36:01,320 equations and most of them involved some 2259 01:36:07,610 --> 01:36:05,250 sort of rotating cylinder or Silla node 2260 01:36:10,340 --> 01:36:07,620 or a disk many times a disk especially 2261 01:36:12,560 --> 01:36:10,350 in more recent research and the the main 2262 01:36:14,570 --> 01:36:12,570 thing that that happens the main way in 2263 01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:14,580 which you can travel into the past that 2264 01:36:19,640 --> 01:36:17,090 you reorient light cones toward the past 2265 01:36:22,490 --> 01:36:19,650 and a light cone is just all of the 2266 01:36:24,620 --> 01:36:22,500 possibilities with them the speed of 2267 01:36:28,280 --> 01:36:24,630 light within the laws of physics any 2268 01:36:29,930 --> 01:36:28,290 moment radiating out into the future if 2269 01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:29,940 you can imagine beams of light on either 2270 01:36:35,390 --> 01:36:32,970 side it creates this probability layer 2271 01:36:38,030 --> 01:36:35,400 this cone of probabilities which is 2272 01:36:39,410 --> 01:36:38,040 what's known as a light cone but in 2273 01:36:41,510 --> 01:36:39,420 order to travel into the past you have 2274 01:36:44,030 --> 01:36:41,520 to reorient those toward the past you 2275 01:36:47,210 --> 01:36:44,040 have to get them to tip over so that you 2276 01:36:50,930 --> 01:36:47,220 can actually move physically into a past 2277 01:36:52,490 --> 01:36:50,940 period and one of the this has been 2278 01:36:55,130 --> 01:36:52,500 demonstrated many times it's something 2279 01:36:57,950 --> 01:36:55,140 that we understand we can't create it 2280 01:37:00,020 --> 01:36:57,960 yet more recent research actually is 2281 01:37:01,850 --> 01:37:00,030 starting to investigate these things in 2282 01:37:05,060 --> 01:37:01,860 a laboratory setting and look into how 2283 01:37:06,740 --> 01:37:05,070 we create these frame dragon lens theory 2284 01:37:09,440 --> 01:37:06,750 and effects to create an actual time 2285 01:37:11,900 --> 01:37:09,450 machine but but they all come down to is 2286 01:37:14,330 --> 01:37:11,910 the rotation or at least a dominant 2287 01:37:18,290 --> 01:37:14,340 theme throughout is the rotation of a 2288 01:37:21,140 --> 01:37:18,300 highly massive or highly energetic disc 2289 01:37:22,510 --> 01:37:21,150 and and if you think about black holes 2290 01:37:26,030 --> 01:37:22,520 the only thing in the known universe 2291 01:37:27,560 --> 01:37:26,040 that can actually send matter back in 2292 01:37:29,320 --> 01:37:27,570 time at the event horizon the 2293 01:37:32,540 --> 01:37:29,330 Schwarzschild radius of a black hole 2294 01:37:34,850 --> 01:37:32,550 that is when it disappears from our four 2295 01:37:36,830 --> 01:37:34,860 dimensions of a spacetime even light 2296 01:37:38,960 --> 01:37:36,840 can't penetrate that event horizon 2297 01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:38,970 because of the massive gravitation and I 2298 01:37:43,780 --> 01:37:41,970 certainly don't think that these UFOs or 2299 01:37:46,820 --> 01:37:43,790 I foes as I call them in the book are 2300 01:37:49,610 --> 01:37:46,830 like black holes that would the tidal 2301 01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:49,620 forces of a black hole and singularity 2302 01:37:55,130 --> 01:37:50,970 associated with it would rip apart 2303 01:37:56,120 --> 01:37:55,140 anything that entered it but a good 2304 01:37:58,010 --> 01:37:56,130 surrogate for that is the 2305 01:37:59,720 --> 01:37:58,020 electromagnetic force and what a lot of 2306 01:38:01,910 --> 01:37:59,730 people don't realize is the 2307 01:38:05,840 --> 01:38:01,920 electromagnetic force is 10 to the 40 2308 01:38:08,030 --> 01:38:05,850 times stronger than gravity we think of 2309 01:38:09,890 --> 01:38:08,040 gravity as this thing that that holds us 2310 01:38:11,780 --> 01:38:09,900 to the earth and it holds the earth to 2311 01:38:14,480 --> 01:38:11,790 the Sun and the moon to the earth and 2312 01:38:16,580 --> 01:38:14,490 and there's an important force of the 2313 01:38:19,130 --> 01:38:16,590 four forces in nature but 2314 01:38:21,320 --> 01:38:19,140 electromagnetism is so much stronger so 2315 01:38:24,440 --> 01:38:21,330 if we could harness that electromagnetic 2316 01:38:27,680 --> 01:38:24,450 force and still create this frame dragon 2317 01:38:29,630 --> 01:38:27,690 effect or this rotational energy that's 2318 01:38:33,110 --> 01:38:29,640 needed to reorient those light cones 2319 01:38:34,910 --> 01:38:33,120 toward the past we could potentially 2320 01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:34,920 create a time machine without having to 2321 01:38:40,100 --> 01:38:37,890 create singularities associated with 2322 01:38:43,250 --> 01:38:40,110 black holes and the physics and particle 2323 01:38:46,550 --> 01:38:43,260 physics involved with that so so yeah an 2324 01:38:49,310 --> 01:38:46,560 idiom a common mantra and biology is 2325 01:38:51,140 --> 01:38:49,320 that form follows function and that 2326 01:38:53,750 --> 01:38:51,150 applies to anything and it certainly 2327 01:38:57,290 --> 01:38:53,760 applies here I think where the form of 2328 01:38:59,750 --> 01:38:57,300 these craft and the properties that they 2329 01:39:04,030 --> 01:38:59,760 have the common description of them 2330 01:39:06,500 --> 01:39:04,040 being disk-like and having rotating 2331 01:39:09,170 --> 01:39:06,510 could facilitate the function of 2332 01:39:12,140 --> 01:39:09,180 backward time travel so yeah I really do 2333 01:39:14,210 --> 01:39:12,150 believe and I feel like I make a strong 2334 01:39:16,180 --> 01:39:14,220 argument for this on the book that these 2335 01:39:20,860 --> 01:39:16,190 are the actual time machines themselves 2336 01:39:24,220 --> 01:39:20,870 Wow amazing so and the Foo Fighters 2337 01:39:26,510 --> 01:39:24,230 mostly were orbs so that that doesn't 2338 01:39:28,400 --> 01:39:26,520 that doesn't kind of follow that same 2339 01:39:31,400 --> 01:39:28,410 line you know I mean mostly what people 2340 01:39:32,180 --> 01:39:31,410 were seeing or no no I'd like to address 2341 01:39:34,460 --> 01:39:32,190 that yeah 2342 01:39:38,120 --> 01:39:34,470 he actually is I don't I don't think all 2343 01:39:40,940 --> 01:39:38,130 of them arm there are things like like 2344 01:39:44,870 --> 01:39:40,950 what was described recently the the cube 2345 01:39:47,570 --> 01:39:44,880 and orb or the something like that 2346 01:39:51,470 --> 01:39:47,580 I've been shown images of things that 2347 01:39:54,350 --> 01:39:51,480 appear to be drones that aren't that 2348 01:39:57,220 --> 01:39:54,360 certainly aren't time machines many of 2349 01:40:01,250 --> 01:39:57,230 them are more circular but the actual 2350 01:40:03,290 --> 01:40:01,260 craft that the large I hate to use this 2351 01:40:07,130 --> 01:40:03,300 word cuz it's so cliche but mothership 2352 01:40:09,080 --> 01:40:07,140 to hit craft they do seem to have the 2353 01:40:11,990 --> 01:40:09,090 capacity what comes out of those to do 2354 01:40:14,240 --> 01:40:12,000 whatever sort of thing is happening 2355 01:40:15,920 --> 01:40:14,250 obviously you're not just gonna take 2356 01:40:17,420 --> 01:40:15,930 that down in someone's bedroom and see 2357 01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:17,430 if you can get in there to abduct them 2358 01:40:21,860 --> 01:40:18,930 at that time you're gonna send a little 2359 01:40:24,320 --> 01:40:21,870 a little probe a little drone type thing 2360 01:40:27,140 --> 01:40:24,330 so I think a lot of the UFO phenomenon 2361 01:40:29,600 --> 01:40:27,150 is people observing those types of 2362 01:40:32,210 --> 01:40:29,610 things that are being sent out by our 2363 01:40:35,140 --> 01:40:32,220 time-traveling descendants in order to 2364 01:40:37,610 --> 01:40:35,150 do the research pick up a couple people 2365 01:40:40,610 --> 01:40:37,620 do their bio medical examination then 2366 01:40:43,130 --> 01:40:40,620 return to their own time without having 2367 01:40:45,920 --> 01:40:43,140 to really be there and hovering over 2368 01:40:47,960 --> 01:40:45,930 large metropolitan area so I think a lot 2369 01:40:49,550 --> 01:40:47,970 of the UFO phenomenon is just what 2370 01:40:55,520 --> 01:40:49,560 they're sending out as part of their 2371 01:40:58,730 --> 01:40:55,530 research mission well well and care to 2372 01:41:00,230 --> 01:40:58,740 speculate how many thousands and 2373 01:41:05,210 --> 01:41:00,240 thousands of years in the future you 2374 01:41:08,870 --> 01:41:05,220 think that this could I hate speculating 2375 01:41:12,530 --> 01:41:08,880 about that however to be fair I was just 2376 01:41:14,540 --> 01:41:12,540 talking about being on coast to coast a 2377 01:41:15,140 --> 01:41:14,550 couple months ago and George Noory made 2378 01:41:17,960 --> 01:41:15,150 me do it 2379 01:41:20,420 --> 01:41:17,970 he wouldn't he wouldn't go to commercial 2380 01:41:21,830 --> 01:41:20,430 really until I visit so so if I do it 2381 01:41:23,360 --> 01:41:21,840 for George Noory I feel like I should 2382 01:41:25,930 --> 01:41:23,370 have to do it for everyone last that 2383 01:41:31,570 --> 01:41:25,940 question but but the number I gave him 2384 01:41:35,570 --> 01:41:31,580 it was I think around I think around 2385 01:41:36,740 --> 01:41:35,580 20,000 years yes and that's again that's 2386 01:41:39,140 --> 01:41:36,750 not that oh really 2387 01:41:41,690 --> 01:41:39,150 but again it's also complicated because 2388 01:41:43,310 --> 01:41:41,700 we could potentially have the technology 2389 01:41:45,410 --> 01:41:43,320 to do this in a couple thousand years 2390 01:41:45,980 --> 01:41:45,420 but we will also wouldn't expect to see 2391 01:41:47,450 --> 01:41:45,990 people 2392 01:41:49,040 --> 01:41:47,460 from that time because they likely 2393 01:41:50,540 --> 01:41:49,050 already have records of what happened 2394 01:41:53,060 --> 01:41:50,550 and we wouldn't be that interesting 2395 01:41:56,560 --> 01:41:53,070 there's no real incentive to do it so I 2396 01:41:59,180 --> 01:41:56,570 think the vast majority of accounts 2397 01:42:03,020 --> 01:41:59,190 abduction accounts and whatnot where we 2398 01:42:05,030 --> 01:42:03,030 see these more evolved humans list with 2399 01:42:08,780 --> 01:42:05,040 still very hominin traits but slightly 2400 01:42:11,810 --> 01:42:08,790 derived versions of them based on those 2401 01:42:14,420 --> 01:42:11,820 is where I get that twenty thousand year 2402 01:42:17,270 --> 01:42:14,430 estimate though I I think the technology 2403 01:42:19,510 --> 01:42:17,280 will probably be available before that 2404 01:42:21,500 --> 01:42:19,520 it just won't be used for this 2405 01:42:23,690 --> 01:42:21,510 necessarily and it's important to keep 2406 01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:23,700 in mind too that once that technology 2407 01:42:27,730 --> 01:42:25,770 exists as I mentioned earlier in the 2408 01:42:30,860 --> 01:42:27,740 context of Novikov self-consistency 2409 01:42:33,140 --> 01:42:30,870 principle none of these things are ahead 2410 01:42:35,480 --> 01:42:33,150 of her behind the other once that time 2411 01:42:39,650 --> 01:42:35,490 machine is developed so there could 2412 01:42:41,510 --> 01:42:39,660 potentially be an IFO chocked full of 2413 01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:41,520 our future humans who actually have the 2414 01:42:47,720 --> 01:42:44,610 technology who went back and picked up a 2415 01:42:49,130 --> 01:42:47,730 bunch of Neanderthals and maybe they 2416 01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:49,140 dropped some off just to mess with us 2417 01:42:53,540 --> 01:42:50,970 and that's where the Bigfoot Sasquatch 2418 01:42:55,670 --> 01:42:53,550 thing comes from they picked them up in 2419 01:42:57,440 --> 01:42:55,680 the past they come back and get a couple 2420 01:42:59,420 --> 01:42:57,450 humans from a thousand years in the 2421 01:43:01,130 --> 01:42:59,430 future and then you know some major 2422 01:43:03,740 --> 01:43:01,140 celebrity just because it's funny and 2423 01:43:06,830 --> 01:43:03,750 then pick us up and we're looking at 2424 01:43:08,840 --> 01:43:06,840 this whole spectrum of human evolution 2425 01:43:10,640 --> 01:43:08,850 because they have the technology to do 2426 01:43:12,350 --> 01:43:10,650 that so so I think it's important that 2427 01:43:13,940 --> 01:43:12,360 even you know when I throw out this 2428 01:43:16,130 --> 01:43:13,950 arbitrary number Akali ously have no 2429 01:43:18,850 --> 01:43:16,140 idea I'm just speculating but based on 2430 01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:18,860 those physical traits they seem to be 2431 01:43:23,480 --> 01:43:21,690 from a period in our future that 2432 01:43:25,070 --> 01:43:23,490 somewhat consistent with twenty thousand 2433 01:43:28,190 --> 01:43:25,080 to fifteen thousand fifty thousand years 2434 01:43:30,380 --> 01:43:28,200 but anybody could be in there they can 2435 01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:30,390 pick up anybody they want within the 2436 01:43:35,810 --> 01:43:32,970 limits of what their craft can do within 2437 01:43:39,200 --> 01:43:35,820 the limits of when the earliest point 2438 01:43:41,630 --> 01:43:39,210 their craft can reach so I I think we 2439 01:43:44,150 --> 01:43:41,640 need to still consider a listicle II and 2440 01:43:46,550 --> 01:43:44,160 think about the whole of space-time and 2441 01:43:48,920 --> 01:43:46,560 not just when they might be coming from 2442 01:43:51,110 --> 01:43:48,930 in the future yeah I'm sure you probably 2443 01:43:53,180 --> 01:43:51,120 caught the headline a few months ago 2444 01:43:55,160 --> 01:43:53,190 where it said major breakthrough and 2445 01:43:57,720 --> 01:43:55,170 time travel and ended up just being 2446 01:44:00,540 --> 01:43:57,730 something with a quantum computer 2447 01:44:03,930 --> 01:44:00,550 and it really I hate this appointing 2448 01:44:08,760 --> 01:44:03,940 wait it was yeah there is a question in 2449 01:44:12,510 --> 01:44:08,770 the chat room Constantini Asst that's 2450 01:44:17,250 --> 01:44:12,520 the screen name have you ever come in 2451 01:44:19,440 --> 01:44:17,260 contact with Bashar bas har Bashar 2452 01:44:22,680 --> 01:44:19,450 shares the same concept of them being 2453 01:44:25,490 --> 01:44:22,690 descendants thus from the future 2454 01:44:29,760 --> 01:44:25,500 did you are you aware of that name or 2455 01:44:32,570 --> 01:44:29,770 I'm not but I I would like to respond to 2456 01:44:35,100 --> 01:44:32,580 that question by saying that I have been 2457 01:44:38,370 --> 01:44:35,110 really excited about how many people 2458 01:44:42,440 --> 01:44:38,380 have also thought of this and I've also 2459 01:44:45,240 --> 01:44:42,450 research this tremendously and and I 2460 01:44:47,130 --> 01:44:45,250 plan on looking this person up as well 2461 01:44:49,530 --> 01:44:47,140 because what I've also found is that 2462 01:44:53,040 --> 01:44:49,540 we've all come at it with a similar sort 2463 01:44:56,190 --> 01:44:53,050 of reason but with very different things 2464 01:44:58,470 --> 01:44:56,200 to add and and I've always said that you 2465 01:45:00,690 --> 01:44:58,480 know this is an evolving project and I'm 2466 01:45:03,030 --> 01:45:00,700 just trying to put some pieces of the 2467 01:45:05,550 --> 01:45:03,040 puzzle and where they might fit and then 2468 01:45:07,140 --> 01:45:05,560 hopefully start more dialogue and more 2469 01:45:09,060 --> 01:45:07,150 conversation especially among my 2470 01:45:11,280 --> 01:45:09,070 academic peers because this is what 2471 01:45:13,130 --> 01:45:11,290 science is supposed to be is asking 2472 01:45:16,800 --> 01:45:13,140 questions about things that are unknown 2473 01:45:18,810 --> 01:45:16,810 so I I would hope that more people would 2474 01:45:21,270 --> 01:45:18,820 start to look at these questions and 2475 01:45:24,180 --> 01:45:21,280 develop testable hypotheses but but I've 2476 01:45:27,780 --> 01:45:24,190 already been really excited by how many 2477 01:45:30,300 --> 01:45:27,790 other people have have really thought 2478 01:45:32,370 --> 01:45:30,310 about this and in deep terms and I've 2479 01:45:34,220 --> 01:45:32,380 had the chance to talk to many of them 2480 01:45:38,400 --> 01:45:34,230 with really exciting conversations 2481 01:45:40,310 --> 01:45:38,410 actually actually just started signed a 2482 01:45:44,130 --> 01:45:40,320 contract to start working with the TV 2483 01:45:47,520 --> 01:45:44,140 production company with with a couple 2484 01:45:49,380 --> 01:45:47,530 really amazing people who who are 2485 01:45:51,720 --> 01:45:49,390 excited about the project and who have 2486 01:45:55,650 --> 01:45:51,730 also thought about this and I've have 2487 01:45:58,860 --> 01:45:55,660 really been excited to build this and to 2488 01:46:00,690 --> 01:45:58,870 present it in a more means to a more 2489 01:46:02,580 --> 01:46:00,700 mainstream audience I sure hope they 2490 01:46:05,729 --> 01:46:02,590 don't go off the fringe fringe side with 2491 01:46:07,920 --> 01:46:05,739 it to make it more well no no no no no 2492 01:46:10,200 --> 01:46:07,930 we that was the very first thing we 2493 01:46:11,039 --> 01:46:10,210 talked about the very first thing that I 2494 01:46:13,289 --> 01:46:11,049 can do 2495 01:46:15,689 --> 01:46:13,299 by the your your manner in general that 2496 01:46:17,549 --> 01:46:15,699 you would oh my god no I you guys spoke 2497 01:46:20,339 --> 01:46:17,559 about ancient aliens earlier I've been 2498 01:46:24,239 --> 01:46:20,349 contacted by two producers of ancient 2499 01:46:27,119 --> 01:46:24,249 aliens in the last five months and and I 2500 01:46:28,769 --> 01:46:27,129 I hope we can find common ground stinks 2501 01:46:30,959 --> 01:46:28,779 I really would like to be on the show 2502 01:46:33,509 --> 01:46:30,969 but I'm not I'm not gonna sell out my 2503 01:46:35,250 --> 01:46:33,519 integrity good feel I'm not gonna I'm 2504 01:46:38,309 --> 01:46:35,260 not gonna lie I'm not gonna make things 2505 01:46:40,019 --> 01:46:38,319 up and and these guys know that we've 2506 01:46:41,279 --> 01:46:40,029 had some really great discussions and 2507 01:46:42,569 --> 01:46:41,289 I'm really excited to work with them I 2508 01:46:44,459 --> 01:46:42,579 think it'll be phenomenal 2509 01:46:45,869 --> 01:46:44,469 great we do have a caller on the line 2510 01:46:47,689 --> 01:46:45,879 caller your first name where are you 2511 01:46:50,939 --> 01:46:47,699 calling from 2512 01:46:52,979 --> 01:46:50,949 James and I'm in Bellevue Washington 2513 01:46:54,959 --> 01:46:52,989 oh yes James you've called him before 2514 01:46:57,599 --> 01:46:54,969 and you're just kind of a science etype 2515 01:47:02,399 --> 01:46:57,609 guy how are you yes that's right 2516 01:47:06,059 --> 01:47:02,409 yes great show thank you think yeah yeah 2517 01:47:11,159 --> 01:47:06,069 my I really can't wait to read the book 2518 01:47:13,259 --> 01:47:11,169 and and I like the whole idea of the IFO 2519 01:47:17,519 --> 01:47:13,269 so I'm just wondering what your thoughts 2520 01:47:22,319 --> 01:47:17,529 are you know there's such a huge variety 2521 01:47:25,199 --> 01:47:22,329 of descriptions of the various ships you 2522 01:47:28,649 --> 01:47:25,209 know there's triangles and I've heard of 2523 01:47:31,289 --> 01:47:28,659 rectangles and yeah and saucers all of 2524 01:47:33,959 --> 01:47:31,299 that and do you what do you think about 2525 01:47:38,399 --> 01:47:33,969 do you think it is possible that there 2526 01:47:41,159 --> 01:47:38,409 are other you know cultures or species 2527 01:47:43,439 --> 01:47:41,169 that may be visiting or maybe they're 2528 01:47:46,799 --> 01:47:43,449 von Neumann croaked or something along 2529 01:47:48,629 --> 01:47:46,809 those lines yeah that's a great question 2530 01:47:50,909 --> 01:47:48,639 I actually appreciate that question 2531 01:47:53,129 --> 01:47:50,919 because it's something that I didn't 2532 01:47:55,829 --> 01:47:53,139 really go into in much detail on the 2533 01:47:58,559 --> 01:47:55,839 book but I wished I'd had once I 2534 01:48:00,899 --> 01:47:58,569 published it you'll you'll be able to 2535 01:48:02,489 --> 01:48:00,909 see where that should have gone and 2536 01:48:05,219 --> 01:48:02,499 where I wished I would have put it if 2537 01:48:06,869 --> 01:48:05,229 you end up getting it but well one thing 2538 01:48:09,419 --> 01:48:06,879 I would like to mention I don't 2539 01:48:11,129 --> 01:48:09,429 necessarily think that they're they're 2540 01:48:13,079 --> 01:48:11,139 Extra Terrestrial there are different 2541 01:48:15,569 --> 01:48:13,089 shapes absolutely there's the sugar the 2542 01:48:16,889 --> 01:48:15,579 cigar shape is a very common one what I 2543 01:48:18,629 --> 01:48:16,899 personally think and I'm just 2544 01:48:21,629 --> 01:48:18,639 speculating here but what I personally 2545 01:48:25,080 --> 01:48:21,639 think is that the triangle ones are are 2546 01:48:27,209 --> 01:48:25,090 ours are ours now let me talk about 2547 01:48:30,180 --> 01:48:27,219 that well well modern man may because if 2548 01:48:32,010 --> 01:48:30,190 you think about it if they don't have to 2549 01:48:33,810 --> 01:48:32,020 worry about the time travel aspects if 2550 01:48:36,540 --> 01:48:33,820 they don't have to maintain that that 2551 01:48:38,310 --> 01:48:36,550 symmetrical shape and and have a 2552 01:48:40,620 --> 01:48:38,320 material that can withstand not just the 2553 01:48:43,589 --> 01:48:40,630 centrifugal forces but all of the 2554 01:48:45,570 --> 01:48:43,599 kinetic forces and the friction and 2555 01:48:49,200 --> 01:48:45,580 spinning something that fast and with 2556 01:48:51,870 --> 01:48:49,210 that much energy the title yeah exactly 2557 01:48:56,240 --> 01:48:51,880 but the triangles almost seem like a 2558 01:48:58,320 --> 01:48:56,250 primitive attempt by us to use that 2559 01:49:02,160 --> 01:48:58,330 anti-gravity electromagnetic propulsion 2560 01:49:04,350 --> 01:49:02,170 system to still make something that's 2561 01:49:06,320 --> 01:49:04,360 unidentifiable to us because we're used 2562 01:49:09,359 --> 01:49:06,330 to vector propulsion we're used to 2563 01:49:11,700 --> 01:49:09,369 airplanes with jets or helicopters but I 2564 01:49:14,010 --> 01:49:11,710 think the triangles are ours I almost 2565 01:49:16,350 --> 01:49:14,020 think that those have been developed 2566 01:49:18,839 --> 01:49:16,360 perhaps even with technology that was 2567 01:49:20,760 --> 01:49:18,849 acquired during the Roswell crash where 2568 01:49:25,350 --> 01:49:20,770 we reverse engineered and figured out 50 2569 01:49:27,390 --> 01:49:25,360 years is a long time oh we're 2570 01:49:29,580 --> 01:49:27,400 almost there like 70 years now since 2571 01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:29,590 that happened so so that's actually a 2572 01:49:34,169 --> 01:49:31,770 very long time to reverse engineer 2573 01:49:35,339 --> 01:49:34,179 something like that I personally think 2574 01:49:38,280 --> 01:49:35,349 the triangles and again I'm just 2575 01:49:43,290 --> 01:49:38,290 speculating but those shapes where it's 2576 01:49:44,729 --> 01:49:43,300 just about trying to get stability you 2577 01:49:47,310 --> 01:49:44,739 know like if you think about sitting on 2578 01:49:48,839 --> 01:49:47,320 your chair you have three legs 2579 01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:48,849 you're gonna wobble in three different 2580 01:49:52,830 --> 01:49:50,290 directions you have for your better 2581 01:49:54,330 --> 01:49:52,840 situated for that so that takes some of 2582 01:49:56,100 --> 01:49:54,340 the variables out of it where it's not a 2583 01:49:57,839 --> 01:49:56,110 rotational thing it's not like trying to 2584 01:50:00,930 --> 01:49:57,849 maintain a rotating frisbee in the air 2585 01:50:02,399 --> 01:50:00,940 but it's just these these three places 2586 01:50:05,430 --> 01:50:02,409 where you have to control those 2587 01:50:07,290 --> 01:50:05,440 independently well I would I'm actually 2588 01:50:09,629 --> 01:50:07,300 gonna have to cut this short but because 2589 01:50:12,240 --> 01:50:09,639
