have him on I've watched a 17 00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:15,060 number of his videos on the theories of 18 00:01:19,730 --> 00:01:16,560 everything he's got a great YouTube 19 00:01:21,109 --> 00:01:19,740 channel and podcast interviews all kinds 20 00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:21,119 of interesting people and a number of 21 00:01:25,249 --> 00:01:23,040 people in the UFO world and that's 22

into them uh 25 00:01:36,469 --> 00:01:34,140 curiosity and uh he he has uh uh has had 26 00:01:37,730 --> 00:01:36,479 a number of really great guests and I'm 27 00:01:40,429 --> 00:01:37,740 going

you know I've had a lot of people uh I 34 00:01:54,590 --> 00:01:52,020 announced last week that you're going to 35 00:01:55,969 --> 00:01:54,600 be on this week and I got some email 36 00:01:57,889 --> 00:01:55,979 people are pretty excited that you're 37 00:01:59,929 --> 00:01:57,899 coming on so there's a lot of there's 38 00:02:02,990 --> 00:01:59,939 believe it or not even if you didn't you 39 00:02:04,069 --> 00:02:03,000 do UFOs there is a crossover of people 40 00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:04,079 that 41 00:02:07,850 --> 00:02:06,240 you know watch your channel and you and 42 00:02:10,669 --> 00:02:07,860 you I saw you have a lot of subscribers 43 00:02:12,830 --> 00:02:10,679 and a lot of very popular videos that 44 00:02:14,750 --> 00:02:12,840 you you put out there 45 00:02:15,949 --> 00:02:14,760 well I hope I don't disappoint those 46 00:02:18,350 --> 00:02:15,959 people who are looking forward to this 47 00:02:20,990 --> 00:02:18,360 no you won't no you won't want me to 48 00:02:24,170 --> 00:02:21,000 disappoint you no not at all so what 49 00:02:26,210 --> 00:02:24,180 made you decide uh to to actually create 50 00:02:28,190 --> 00:02:26,220 this the theories of everything or it's 51 00:02:31,250 --> 00:02:28,200 just called theories of everything uh 52 00:02:33,770 --> 00:02:31,260 podcast and uh YouTube channel 53 00:02:35,869 --> 00:02:33,780 so I've always been interested in in the 54 00:02:38,030 --> 00:02:35,879 physics term theories of everything that 55 00:02:39,830 --> 00:02:38,040 is how do you how do you unify Quantum 56 00:02:42,170 --> 00:02:39,840 field Theory and then gravity or general 57 00:02:43,369 --> 00:02:42,180 relativity I've always been almost 58 00:02:45,290 --> 00:02:43,379 always been interested in that since 59 00:02:47,089 --> 00:02:45,300 I've been a kid 60 00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:47,099 and then when I went to University I 61 00:02:50,809 --> 00:02:48,959 became more interested in stand-up and 62 00:02:52,130 --> 00:02:50,819 from stand up so stand-up comedy from 63 00:02:54,890 --> 00:02:52,140 that I did film 64 00:02:56,690 --> 00:02:54,900 and then from there when I graduated I 65 00:02:59,150 --> 00:02:56,700 went into filmmaking rather than into 66 00:03:00,650 --> 00:02:59,160 math and physics primarily because when 67 00:03:03,290 --> 00:03:00,660 you're when you have to do math and 68 00:03:05,210 --> 00:03:03,300 physics at least for myself I despise it 69 00:03:07,550 --> 00:03:05,220 so my favorite courses were always the 70 00:03:09,530 --> 00:03:07,560 courses that I wasn't in that I wasn't 71 00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:09,540 assigned so someone says you have to do 72 00:03:14,509 --> 00:03:10,800 so and so you have to do this homework 73 00:03:17,630 --> 00:03:14,519 assignment I I despise that I can't I 74 00:03:20,690 --> 00:03:17,640 I'm extremely averse to it I don't it 75 00:03:22,369 --> 00:03:20,700 makes me tense it makes me so makes me 76 00:03:23,869 --> 00:03:22,379 not want to do it 77 00:03:25,610 --> 00:03:23,879 so 78 00:03:27,589 --> 00:03:25,620 but however if there's a different 79 00:03:28,910 --> 00:03:27,599 course I'll look up the book for that 80 00:03:30,110 --> 00:03:28,920 course even though I'm supposed to be 81 00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:30,120 studying for some other course anyway 82 00:03:34,369 --> 00:03:31,920 the point is I don't like to do what I'm 83 00:03:36,770 --> 00:03:34,379 supposed to do so I went into filmmaking 84 00:03:38,690 --> 00:03:36,780 then which is a great 85 00:03:40,789 --> 00:03:38,700 a great 86 00:03:44,270 --> 00:03:40,799 Avenue for people who are just as 87 00:03:45,770 --> 00:03:44,280 desultory as myself then I started to 88 00:03:47,930 --> 00:03:45,780 make a film and release some of the 89 00:03:50,030 --> 00:03:47,940 interviews on 90 00:03:52,729 --> 00:03:50,040 on YouTube and those are essentially 91 00:03:54,530 --> 00:03:52,739 podcasts interviews and that started to 92 00:03:56,990 --> 00:03:54,540 take traction and I thought given that 93 00:03:58,009 --> 00:03:57,000 the pandemic is imminent or occurring 94 00:03:59,509 --> 00:03:58,019 right now 95 00:04:09,770 --> 00:03:59,519 why not 96 00:04:11,570 --> 00:04:09,780 Donald Hoffman because I hear so many 97 00:04:13,610 --> 00:04:11,580 people talk about his theories and I've 98 00:04:15,289 --> 00:04:13,620 heard him yes at a fairly superficial 99 00:04:17,270 --> 00:04:15,299 level and he's claiming that there's 100 00:04:18,830 --> 00:04:17,280 mathematics behind it okay well I can 101 00:04:20,569 --> 00:04:18,840 read that math why don't I read his 102 00:04:22,069 --> 00:04:20,579 papers and then interview him I did that 103 00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:22,079 and then that took off and I thought hey 104 00:04:25,850 --> 00:04:24,360 given that I'm extremely interested 105 00:04:27,409 --> 00:04:25,860 there's like this Burning passion in me 106 00:04:29,749 --> 00:04:27,419 for theories of everything why not go 107 00:04:31,189 --> 00:04:29,759 back into that it's never left me even 108 00:04:33,950 --> 00:04:31,199 when I was doing films there's an 109 00:04:36,110 --> 00:04:33,960 element of physics and math in them so I 110 00:04:37,909 --> 00:04:36,120 put out more interviews quote-unquote 111 00:04:40,249 --> 00:04:37,919 interviews not even podcasts on that 112 00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:40,259 subject and that seemed to take off and 113 00:04:43,490 --> 00:04:41,520 so it's not as if it was a conscious 114 00:04:45,590 --> 00:04:43,500 decision at one single point it was the 115 00:04:47,090 --> 00:04:45,600 gradual change and at some point I 116 00:04:49,430 --> 00:04:47,100 called it theories of everything whereas 117 00:04:52,670 --> 00:04:49,440 before it had a different name yeah yeah 118 00:04:54,650 --> 00:04:52,680 well uh it's it's fascinating and you 119 00:04:57,530 --> 00:04:54,660 know I've I've had these Curiosities too 120 00:05:00,230 --> 00:04:57,540 but not at your level you know not at 121 00:05:03,409 --> 00:05:00,240 such a deep scientific or a mathematical 122 00:05:06,170 --> 00:05:03,419 level but I I'm still fascinated 123 00:05:08,689 --> 00:05:06,180 I would say I'm a fan of it all and and 124 00:05:12,110 --> 00:05:08,699 uh so it's I have a curiosity about it 125 00:05:14,150 --> 00:05:12,120 and I think it's great that you also 126 00:05:16,610 --> 00:05:14,160 looked into a number of different topics 127 00:05:19,189 --> 00:05:16,620 and we'll talk about uh them later as 128 00:05:21,950 --> 00:05:19,199 well uh because you know Consciousness 129 00:05:24,469 --> 00:05:21,960 is something that you've looked into and 130 00:05:26,930 --> 00:05:24,479 have done some interviews on but it's 131 00:05:28,550 --> 00:05:26,940 also something that I get contacted all 132 00:05:30,409 --> 00:05:28,560 the time and people are saying they 133 00:05:33,170 --> 00:05:30,419 believe there's a connection between 134 00:05:35,029 --> 00:05:33,180 UFOs and Consciousness and I I can't 135 00:05:38,210 --> 00:05:35,039 I've been trying to understand exactly 136 00:05:40,670 --> 00:05:38,220 what that would be or how how that works 137 00:05:41,930 --> 00:05:40,680 and even when I've had people try to 138 00:05:46,129 --> 00:05:41,940 explain it to me I still can't 139 00:05:47,689 --> 00:05:46,139 understand and there uh there's a great 140 00:05:49,850 --> 00:05:47,699 quote 141 00:05:51,890 --> 00:05:49,860 um and I'm trying to remember 142 00:05:55,249 --> 00:05:51,900 um who who did the who said the quote 143 00:05:56,930 --> 00:05:55,259 that what we know is a draw what we know 144 00:05:57,650 --> 00:05:56,940 is a drop and what we don't know is an 145 00:06:00,409 --> 00:05:57,660 ocean 146 00:06:02,210 --> 00:06:00,419 right yeah and I do believe that I 147 00:06:04,670 --> 00:06:02,220 believe there's so much to learn and we 148 00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:04,680 just know a little tiny tiny fraction of 149 00:06:10,070 --> 00:06:07,440 what there is to learn yeah I agree 150 00:06:11,330 --> 00:06:10,080 yeah so I'm glad you're doing this and 151 00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:11,340 what do you think the connection is 152 00:06:16,129 --> 00:06:13,199 between UFOs and consciousness 153 00:06:19,370 --> 00:06:16,139 I could come across I have tried to 154 00:06:21,050 --> 00:06:19,380 understand that and uh you know some 155 00:06:23,570 --> 00:06:21,060 people are saying that it's created 156 00:06:24,290 --> 00:06:23,580 through our Consciousness but then that 157 00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:24,300 doesn't 158 00:06:30,110 --> 00:06:27,120 you know like on an individual basis but 159 00:06:32,330 --> 00:06:30,120 interesting but I don't you know then I 160 00:06:34,370 --> 00:06:32,340 I counter that with okay well what about 161 00:06:35,629 --> 00:06:34,380 the mass sightings you know there's so 162 00:06:37,490 --> 00:06:35,639 many sightings like the Phoenix Lights 163 00:06:40,909 --> 00:06:37,500 that had thousands of people that saw it 164 00:06:42,290 --> 00:06:40,919 and there's one in Chicago in a area and 165 00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:42,300 there's this whole bunch of sightings 166 00:06:47,570 --> 00:06:44,880 where there's been you know many 167 00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:47,580 multiples of witnesses so 168 00:06:52,249 --> 00:06:49,919 that doesn't really you know pan out in 169 00:06:55,129 --> 00:06:52,259 that particular situation 170 00:06:57,590 --> 00:06:55,139 so yeah but I think it's it's still 171 00:06:59,870 --> 00:06:57,600 really interesting 172 00:07:02,510 --> 00:06:59,880 um and I've seen several people on your 173 00:07:05,029 --> 00:07:02,520 show like I was just listening to Ross 174 00:07:07,790 --> 00:07:05,039 coldheart and uh he's been on my show 175 00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:07,800 before I really I really respect him 176 00:07:12,230 --> 00:07:10,440 liked him liked him he's a journalist in 177 00:07:13,670 --> 00:07:12,240 Australia of course 178 00:07:16,909 --> 00:07:13,680 um and 179 00:07:18,770 --> 00:07:16,919 he says some fascinating things so I'm 180 00:07:20,330 --> 00:07:18,780 just wondering was he one of the more 181 00:07:25,550 --> 00:07:20,340 interesting guests that you've talked to 182 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,230 foreign 183 00:07:34,850 --> 00:07:32,930 I think I I promise I'm not being or 184 00:07:36,770 --> 00:07:34,860 trying to be politically correct but 185 00:07:38,270 --> 00:07:36,780 each person that I interview on the UFO 186 00:07:39,650 --> 00:07:38,280 topic is interesting in their own way 187 00:07:42,350 --> 00:07:39,660 and I think you found that true and 188 00:07:44,150 --> 00:07:42,360 found that as well someone said to me 189 00:07:46,370 --> 00:07:44,160 that there's no 190 00:07:48,350 --> 00:07:46,380 there's only characters in the scene 191 00:07:50,450 --> 00:07:48,360 and I don't know why that is but it 192 00:07:52,070 --> 00:07:50,460 seems that that's the case Ross seems to 193 00:07:54,890 --> 00:07:52,080 be much more of the sober individual but 194 00:07:56,570 --> 00:07:54,900 they're many of the more public-facing 195 00:08:00,650 --> 00:07:56,580 ones are 196 00:08:03,230 --> 00:08:00,660 have have uncommon personalities 197 00:08:04,070 --> 00:08:03,240 so I find them interesting let me think 198 00:08:05,390 --> 00:08:04,080 if there were any that were 199 00:08:06,290 --> 00:08:05,400 uninteresting because I think that's a 200 00:08:08,150 --> 00:08:06,300 more 201 00:08:16,909 --> 00:08:08,160 act I can give an accurate answer to 202 00:08:19,550 --> 00:08:18,770 okay if I encounter one I'll let you 203 00:08:24,770 --> 00:08:19,560 know 204 00:08:26,990 --> 00:08:24,780 there's there's one one or two yeah that 205 00:08:28,369 --> 00:08:27,000 were that I call uninteresting but that 206 00:08:29,930 --> 00:08:28,379 don't mean that they're wrong or that I 207 00:08:33,110 --> 00:08:29,940 disbelieve them that just means that I 208 00:08:36,170 --> 00:08:33,120 was that you had Stephen Greer on which 209 00:08:40,130 --> 00:08:36,180 I kind of I'm not really kind to Stephen 210 00:08:43,610 --> 00:08:40,140 Greer and and on the show to too kind 211 00:08:44,750 --> 00:08:43,620 um but uh but you a lot of people uh as 212 00:08:46,130 --> 00:08:44,760 soon as you had them on and people 213 00:08:47,630 --> 00:08:46,140 watched that show they said oh you got 214 00:08:51,410 --> 00:08:47,640 to watch this he really challenged him 215 00:08:54,710 --> 00:08:51,420 on a lot of things and so uh uh you did 216 00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:54,720 a nice job on that particular uh show I 217 00:09:00,110 --> 00:08:57,120 believe and and challenging him which I 218 00:09:01,310 --> 00:09:00,120 I think anyone you know that is out 219 00:09:03,470 --> 00:09:01,320 there claiming 220 00:09:05,329 --> 00:09:03,480 you know more or less that they know 221 00:09:08,030 --> 00:09:05,339 what's going on needs to be challenged 222 00:09:09,230 --> 00:09:08,040 in my opinion because I I personally 223 00:09:11,990 --> 00:09:09,240 think 224 00:09:13,550 --> 00:09:12,000 that we have no idea our government has 225 00:09:15,769 --> 00:09:13,560 no government so I don't believe really 226 00:09:18,470 --> 00:09:15,779 have a full understanding I saw that 227 00:09:20,389 --> 00:09:18,480 Ross kind of touched on that as well 228 00:09:23,570 --> 00:09:20,399 uh but they may know more than we know 229 00:09:24,949 --> 00:09:23,580 about the UFO topic 230 00:09:31,250 --> 00:09:24,959 yeah 231 00:09:33,889 --> 00:09:31,260 not my job my goal in any of the podcast 232 00:09:36,050 --> 00:09:33,899 is never to challenge a guest if that 233 00:09:38,389 --> 00:09:36,060 happens that just happens it's just 234 00:09:40,310 --> 00:09:38,399 questions happen questions occur to me 235 00:09:42,590 --> 00:09:40,320 and I ask them so don't go in thinking 236 00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:42,600 how can I disprove or approve a person I 237 00:09:46,490 --> 00:09:44,160 go in thinking how can I understand what 238 00:09:47,810 --> 00:09:46,500 they're saying and how can I if I if I 239 00:09:49,970 --> 00:09:47,820 don't understand it if there are gaps in 240 00:09:51,889 --> 00:09:49,980 my knowledge how can I fill them so with 241 00:09:53,570 --> 00:09:51,899 Stephen Greer I didn't intend to 242 00:09:54,949 --> 00:09:53,580 challenge him I also don't think I 243 00:09:56,810 --> 00:09:54,959 challenged him so I know some people are 244 00:09:58,670 --> 00:09:56,820 saying that my I think what they're 245 00:10:01,009 --> 00:09:58,680 referring to is he said 246 00:10:02,329 --> 00:10:01,019 I could explain the physics of this but 247 00:10:03,710 --> 00:10:02,339 your audience wouldn't understand that 248 00:10:05,509 --> 00:10:03,720 and I said okay well I don't think you 249 00:10:07,250 --> 00:10:05,519 know what show you're on that's why the 250 00:10:09,350 --> 00:10:07,260 audience is here at least the majority 251 00:10:10,790 --> 00:10:09,360 of them so please if you have that 252 00:10:12,949 --> 00:10:10,800 knowledge and then people were getting 253 00:10:14,269 --> 00:10:12,959 some people like stream minority of 254 00:10:15,470 --> 00:10:14,279 people are getting upset because they're 255 00:10:17,449 --> 00:10:15,480 saying you shouldn't have asked them to 256 00:10:19,250 --> 00:10:17,459 explain physics he's not a physicist 257 00:10:20,690 --> 00:10:19,260 I didn't say was a physicist I'm sorry 258 00:10:22,790 --> 00:10:20,700 he was the one who said that he could 259 00:10:24,410 --> 00:10:22,800 explain so that's what I was doing and 260 00:10:26,870 --> 00:10:24,420 that was that came across as a challenge 261 00:10:28,509 --> 00:10:26,880 I didn't intend it secondly there are 262 00:10:30,829 --> 00:10:28,519 many of his claims that I asked for 263 00:10:33,710 --> 00:10:30,839 quote-unquote evidence which which 264 00:10:35,210 --> 00:10:33,720 triggered him but I I take that as a 265 00:10:38,269 --> 00:10:35,220 fault on mine I need to improve as an 266 00:10:40,430 --> 00:10:38,279 interviewer because maybe he Maybe not 267 00:10:41,570 --> 00:10:40,440 maybe my demeanor came across as 268 00:10:43,370 --> 00:10:41,580 disbelieving and perhaps even 269 00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:43,380 disparaging and I apologize to that 270 00:10:47,810 --> 00:10:45,360 Stephen if you're watching and I I 271 00:10:49,790 --> 00:10:47,820 didn't mean it to be that way so that's 272 00:10:52,670 --> 00:10:49,800 just my fault I need to work on that 273 00:10:54,290 --> 00:10:52,680 yeah well no I think I think that was uh 274 00:10:57,230 --> 00:10:54,300 I think that was that's exactly what 275 00:10:59,569 --> 00:10:57,240 they were talking about and uh yeah it's 276 00:11:01,790 --> 00:10:59,579 uh there's a lot of times I've said that 277 00:11:03,769 --> 00:11:01,800 too you know I've had uh people on the 278 00:11:06,110 --> 00:11:03,779 show that have made extraordinary claims 279 00:11:08,210 --> 00:11:06,120 and you know I had a woman 280 00:11:10,910 --> 00:11:08,220 on the show that claims she was riding 281 00:11:13,970 --> 00:11:10,920 through the rings of Saturn you know 282 00:11:16,130 --> 00:11:13,980 um and I basically had to end this show 283 00:11:18,110 --> 00:11:16,140 early it was a live show 284 00:11:20,210 --> 00:11:18,120 um I just you know I mean it was just 285 00:11:22,370 --> 00:11:20,220 going out there a little too far from I 286 00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:22,380 wasn't I was uncomfortable with it how 287 00:11:32,389 --> 00:11:29,630 in the softest way I could 288 00:11:34,130 --> 00:11:32,399 and uh I just said well that's gonna do 289 00:11:36,530 --> 00:11:34,140 it for the show you know tonight and 290 00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:36,540 okay so she wasn't offended 291 00:11:40,610 --> 00:11:38,880 uh I talked to her afterwards and kind 292 00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:40,620 of smoothed it over a little bit okay so 293 00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:42,480 she was there was some umbrage there I 294 00:11:47,329 --> 00:11:43,920 was wondering why I cut the show short 295 00:11:51,170 --> 00:11:47,339 yeah she was on with a with a guest uh 296 00:11:52,730 --> 00:11:51,180 uh with a co-guest so anyway but that's 297 00:11:54,290 --> 00:11:52,740 uh there was only a couple times that 298 00:11:59,269 --> 00:11:54,300 I've done that in you know over 10 years 299 00:12:02,030 --> 00:11:59,279 so 11 years now and uh I I guess uh as 300 00:12:04,910 --> 00:12:02,040 far as this subject goes when it comes 301 00:12:05,810 --> 00:12:04,920 to UFOs UAP whatever you'd like to call 302 00:12:08,569 --> 00:12:05,820 them 303 00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:08,579 do you think that there's uh any one 304 00:12:12,949 --> 00:12:11,040 Theory over another that these things 305 00:12:14,389 --> 00:12:12,959 could be or do you think they could be a 306 00:12:15,650 --> 00:12:14,399 multiple of things that people are 307 00:12:18,829 --> 00:12:15,660 seeing 308 00:12:18,839 --> 00:12:22,190 I think that 309 00:12:27,230 --> 00:12:24,290 I so I don't favor one Theory over the 310 00:12:29,750 --> 00:12:27,240 others I I find flaws 311 00:12:31,250 --> 00:12:29,760 like six blemishes if I think about a 312 00:12:32,569 --> 00:12:31,260 single theory for a minute I just see 313 00:12:33,769 --> 00:12:32,579 that's what I mentioned that I that's 314 00:12:35,569 --> 00:12:33,779 what I meant when I said that I have 315 00:12:37,490 --> 00:12:35,579 questions they occur to me and I don't 316 00:12:39,110 --> 00:12:37,500 get to cite them all or recite them all 317 00:12:40,130 --> 00:12:39,120 sorry I don't get to bring them up to 318 00:12:42,350 --> 00:12:40,140 the guests 319 00:12:44,690 --> 00:12:42,360 so I just find flaws with virtually 320 00:12:46,490 --> 00:12:44,700 every interpretation which either means 321 00:12:48,110 --> 00:12:46,500 that there are flaws which I think is 322 00:12:49,850 --> 00:12:48,120 the case but it also means that I don't 323 00:12:50,930 --> 00:12:49,860 understand them or also could mean I 324 00:12:52,670 --> 00:12:50,940 don't understand them which which I 325 00:12:55,129 --> 00:12:52,680 think is the case so that's why I need 326 00:12:57,590 --> 00:12:55,139 to work harder to understanding these 327 00:13:00,050 --> 00:12:57,600 theories and then thirdly that we don't 328 00:13:01,490 --> 00:13:00,060 have complete information which I think 329 00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:01,500 is the one 330 00:13:06,110 --> 00:13:04,560 fact fact that we can that virtually 331 00:13:08,509 --> 00:13:06,120 everyone agrees on we don't have 332 00:13:10,670 --> 00:13:08,519 complete information on this yes 333 00:13:13,190 --> 00:13:10,680 yes thought that's why it's difficult 334 00:13:16,550 --> 00:13:13,200 for me to favor a theory over another in 335 00:13:19,069 --> 00:13:16,560 that in that way though how how would 336 00:13:20,449 --> 00:13:19,079 you as as a scientist yourself how would 337 00:13:25,129 --> 00:13:20,459 you 338 00:13:27,170 --> 00:13:25,139 suggest that people are looking into 339 00:13:30,230 --> 00:13:27,180 this topic are trying to get data for 340 00:13:32,150 --> 00:13:30,240 this for for what is occurring I mean 341 00:13:34,310 --> 00:13:32,160 it's such a so 342 00:13:36,290 --> 00:13:34,320 yeah yeah given that it's not replicable 343 00:13:39,110 --> 00:13:36,300 right it doesn't seem like it is however 344 00:13:41,030 --> 00:13:39,120 there is ce5 that some people claim is 345 00:13:43,730 --> 00:13:41,040 something that can be verified and 346 00:13:45,889 --> 00:13:43,740 repeated I don't know but that's the 347 00:13:49,910 --> 00:13:45,899 claim and many people who aren't even in 348 00:13:51,710 --> 00:13:49,920 the Stephen Greer Camp claim that so I 349 00:13:54,170 --> 00:13:51,720 would say that the best way to gather 350 00:13:56,150 --> 00:13:54,180 data in this is twofold one is to 351 00:14:01,370 --> 00:13:56,160 perform ce5 near 352 00:14:02,870 --> 00:14:01,380 some some of the X some of the 353 00:14:04,610 --> 00:14:02,880 uh 354 00:14:06,530 --> 00:14:04,620 instruments some of the instruments of 355 00:14:09,710 --> 00:14:06,540 the Galileo project 356 00:14:11,569 --> 00:14:09,720 and then secondly apparently there are 357 00:14:13,009 --> 00:14:11,579 some hot spots 358 00:14:16,190 --> 00:14:13,019 yes 359 00:14:17,949 --> 00:14:16,200 so why not launch a private all requires 360 00:14:21,650 --> 00:14:17,959 billions or a million at least at least 361 00:14:24,110 --> 00:14:21,660 why not launch a private satellite 362 00:14:26,150 --> 00:14:24,120 to monitor some of these 363 00:14:26,810 --> 00:14:26,160 hot spots and live stream it if it could 364 00:14:28,490 --> 00:14:26,820 be 365 00:14:30,230 --> 00:14:28,500 that's what I meant that's like the 366 00:14:33,290 --> 00:14:30,240 easiest that come to mind 367 00:14:34,970 --> 00:14:33,300 yeah study this scientifically it has to 368 00:14:37,310 --> 00:14:34,980 be streamed because otherwise you get 369 00:14:39,110 --> 00:14:37,320 like even for instance the 370 00:14:40,610 --> 00:14:39,120 the Large Hadron Collider which by the 371 00:14:43,069 --> 00:14:40,620 way costs multi-million so it's not as 372 00:14:45,530 --> 00:14:43,079 if this is some project that's unheard 373 00:14:47,810 --> 00:14:45,540 of there's a president for it even that 374 00:14:49,550 --> 00:14:47,820 the data is classified sorry that's 375 00:14:51,170 --> 00:14:49,560 false even that the data is not released 376 00:14:53,150 --> 00:14:51,180 because there's terabytes terabytes or 377 00:14:54,230 --> 00:14:53,160 petabytes there's so much data they have 378 00:14:55,910 --> 00:14:54,240 to compress it they have to use 379 00:14:56,889 --> 00:14:55,920 algorithms so you don't get to see the 380 00:14:59,329 --> 00:14:56,899 data 381 00:15:01,490 --> 00:14:59,339 somehow we need to be able to see the 382 00:15:03,350 --> 00:15:01,500 data for a private satellite that's 383 00:15:04,730 --> 00:15:03,360 launched and everyone needs to be able 384 00:15:07,069 --> 00:15:04,740 to have access to that now I don't know 385 00:15:09,250 --> 00:15:07,079 how that works in terms of logistics 386 00:15:11,389 --> 00:15:09,260 but 387 00:15:13,670 --> 00:15:11,399 conceivably can be done 388 00:15:16,970 --> 00:15:13,680 yeah there are a few people that are are 389 00:15:18,170 --> 00:15:16,980 kind of going along that line that are 390 00:15:23,329 --> 00:15:18,180 trying to 391 00:15:25,490 --> 00:15:23,339 think what it's called it's it's open 392 00:15:28,370 --> 00:15:25,500 it's open what do they call like open 393 00:15:29,629 --> 00:15:28,380 software or whatever it is oh yeah so 394 00:15:32,629 --> 00:15:29,639 there are people that are trying to put 395 00:15:34,670 --> 00:15:32,639 things like that together and uh where 396 00:15:36,710 --> 00:15:34,680 everyone could have not everyone but 397 00:15:38,870 --> 00:15:36,720 people that are involved in this can 398 00:15:42,470 --> 00:15:38,880 have some type of equipment equipment at 399 00:15:44,750 --> 00:15:42,480 their home and like you say if something 400 00:15:47,329 --> 00:15:44,760 is caught you know that is not 401 00:15:49,250 --> 00:15:47,339 explainable that can be seen then they 402 00:15:51,230 --> 00:15:49,260 could live stream it to you know 403 00:15:54,170 --> 00:15:51,240 basically everyone else that's involved 404 00:15:56,210 --> 00:15:54,180 and I think it's free for anyone I can't 405 00:15:58,370 --> 00:15:56,220 remember the name of it people may ask 406 00:16:01,370 --> 00:15:58,380 me that so if I figure that out I could 407 00:16:04,310 --> 00:16:01,380 put it in the show notes but uh there is 408 00:16:05,810 --> 00:16:04,320 that service that is out there as far as 409 00:16:07,970 --> 00:16:05,820 I know it's already been established 410 00:16:10,189 --> 00:16:07,980 where people are are setting up all over 411 00:16:13,670 --> 00:16:10,199 and um you know and 412 00:16:15,949 --> 00:16:13,680 there are a lot of there are a lot of 413 00:16:17,990 --> 00:16:15,959 people that just say there's nothing to 414 00:16:20,329 --> 00:16:18,000 this you know for instance 415 00:16:22,310 --> 00:16:20,339 um Neil deGrasse Tyson you hear him 416 00:16:23,930 --> 00:16:22,320 often like just say there's there's 417 00:16:27,290 --> 00:16:23,940 nothing and he goes on and on about 418 00:16:29,569 --> 00:16:27,300 there's you know eight billion 419 00:16:31,310 --> 00:16:29,579 uh cell phones out there why don't we 420 00:16:33,050 --> 00:16:31,320 have a crystal clear picture and you 421 00:16:35,689 --> 00:16:33,060 know I mean and then just the military 422 00:16:37,550 --> 00:16:35,699 is seeing these things and you know all 423 00:16:41,629 --> 00:16:37,560 like that and so I guess I want to ask 424 00:16:44,810 --> 00:16:41,639 you uh I considered that close-minded 425 00:16:47,569 --> 00:16:44,820 and not really scientific to just 426 00:16:49,670 --> 00:16:47,579 pass it all off like that 427 00:16:52,189 --> 00:16:49,680 um you know I'm using him as an example 428 00:16:54,050 --> 00:16:52,199 but uh you know what do you think about 429 00:16:57,530 --> 00:16:54,060 that don't you think that science should 430 00:16:59,389 --> 00:16:57,540 be open to at least exploring what all 431 00:17:01,370 --> 00:16:59,399 these people are seeing 432 00:17:04,549 --> 00:17:01,380 and there is some data for 433 00:17:06,289 --> 00:17:04,559 I think it's a form of for I have to be 434 00:17:07,429 --> 00:17:06,299 careful because I would like to get Neil 435 00:17:10,130 --> 00:17:07,439 on the podcast 436 00:17:13,669 --> 00:17:10,140 yeah but okay let me let me burn some 437 00:17:16,730 --> 00:17:13,679 bridges I think it would be I think it's 438 00:17:19,010 --> 00:17:16,740 an example of scientific grandstanding I 439 00:17:21,289 --> 00:17:19,020 don't believe he means what he says I 440 00:17:23,929 --> 00:17:21,299 think that he says that 441 00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:23,939 or and people like else speak broadly I 442 00:17:27,949 --> 00:17:26,160 think people like to say that to give 443 00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:27,959 off an error that they're rational and 444 00:17:32,090 --> 00:17:30,720 thus Superior in some Manner and I don't 445 00:17:33,710 --> 00:17:32,100 think that he believes what he's saying 446 00:17:35,210 --> 00:17:33,720 because you can ask him a set of 447 00:17:37,850 --> 00:17:35,220 questions which I don't want to ask here 448 00:17:41,210 --> 00:17:37,860 because I don't it's it's a force I 449 00:17:44,210 --> 00:17:41,220 don't want him to well I want to ask it 450 00:17:47,390 --> 00:17:44,220 to him directly but essentially 451 00:17:49,070 --> 00:17:47,400 Neil if you believe that 452 00:17:51,590 --> 00:17:49,080 like what is it precisely that you're 453 00:17:53,270 --> 00:17:51,600 saying no to firstly Define it secondly 454 00:17:55,070 --> 00:17:53,280 give the probabilities thirdly let's bet 455 00:17:57,470 --> 00:17:55,080 on it and I'm willing to put some money 456 00:17:59,810 --> 00:17:57,480 up and I want I wonder if he is as well 457 00:18:01,730 --> 00:17:59,820 so if you that's to me the true test of 458 00:18:04,010 --> 00:18:01,740 a belief are you willing to put some 459 00:18:06,770 --> 00:18:04,020 money against it and then the odds have 460 00:18:08,810 --> 00:18:06,780 to be like bookie odds Booker bookie 461 00:18:10,850 --> 00:18:08,820 yeah like a bookie that is to say 462 00:18:12,289 --> 00:18:10,860 imagine he says 99 to 1. well then that 463 00:18:14,690 --> 00:18:12,299 means Neil that if I put up a hundred 464 00:18:16,130 --> 00:18:14,700 dollars and you put up 9 900 you believe 465 00:18:18,470 --> 00:18:16,140 this to be a fair bet 466 00:18:19,850 --> 00:18:18,480 okay so let's do that and if you want to 467 00:18:22,070 --> 00:18:19,860 make it even more interesting let's do 468 00:18:23,870 --> 00:18:22,080 it as a percentage of income so that's 469 00:18:26,390 --> 00:18:23,880 actually more fair so let's do that oh 470 00:18:28,970 --> 00:18:26,400 yeah you truly believe it's 99 99 200 471 00:18:30,470 --> 00:18:28,980 99.999 to one then I'm going to put up a 472 00:18:32,390 --> 00:18:30,480 dollar and you put up a million and you 473 00:18:34,789 --> 00:18:32,400 think that that's and that should be 474 00:18:36,710 --> 00:18:34,799 fair so that's what I would say 475 00:18:39,529 --> 00:18:36,720 yeah and look imagine he doesn't imagine 476 00:18:42,590 --> 00:18:39,539 he then backpedals and says okay it's 80 477 00:18:44,810 --> 00:18:42,600 to 20. okay well then it doesn't deserve 478 00:18:46,730 --> 00:18:44,820 the same derisive attitude 80 to 20 479 00:18:47,990 --> 00:18:46,740 there are pills that you're not even 480 00:18:50,510 --> 00:18:48,000 allowed to touch as a pregnant woman 481 00:18:52,430 --> 00:18:50,520 because it has a one point or zero point 482 00:18:54,110 --> 00:18:52,440 zero zero two percent chance of causing 483 00:18:55,789 --> 00:18:54,120 some damage to your fetus so you're not 484 00:18:59,770 --> 00:18:55,799 even allowed to touch that pill let 485 00:19:03,049 --> 00:18:59,780 alone swallow it so you're saying that 486 00:19:05,870 --> 00:19:03,059 you're scorning a whole not generation 487 00:19:09,350 --> 00:19:05,880 but a whole set of people and I'm being 488 00:19:12,350 --> 00:19:09,360 snide and so on for a 80 to 20 chance 489 00:19:13,970 --> 00:19:12,360 there's so okay so there's so much I 490 00:19:15,350 --> 00:19:13,980 have to say but I'd rather save it for a 491 00:19:19,130 --> 00:19:15,360 conversation with them 492 00:19:21,650 --> 00:19:19,140 yeah yeah there's a there's a video out 493 00:19:22,730 --> 00:19:21,660 there where he says something like 494 00:19:24,529 --> 00:19:22,740 um 495 00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:24,539 you need to know 496 00:19:29,810 --> 00:19:27,600 in science uh when you don't know you 497 00:19:31,669 --> 00:19:29,820 need to be smart enough to say that you 498 00:19:35,390 --> 00:19:31,679 don't know which I agree with 499 00:19:37,610 --> 00:19:35,400 and and then yet he goes on and and 500 00:19:40,010 --> 00:19:37,620 claims he knows everything about UFOs 501 00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:40,020 that they're not you know they're uh 502 00:19:44,090 --> 00:19:42,480 they're not real they're not uh oh he 503 00:19:47,870 --> 00:19:44,100 makes an argument which I think is again 504 00:19:49,010 --> 00:19:47,880 a fallacious one or at least it's a 505 00:19:53,810 --> 00:19:49,020 it's 506 00:19:55,010 --> 00:19:53,820 look unidentified means unidentified you 507 00:19:57,169 --> 00:19:55,020 see something you don't all of a sudden 508 00:19:58,909 --> 00:19:57,179 jump to aliens I see a blur in the sky 509 00:20:01,070 --> 00:19:58,919 therefore aliens that's not how it works 510 00:20:02,270 --> 00:20:01,080 though Neil it's not just that you see 511 00:20:04,070 --> 00:20:02,280 something in the sky and you jump to 512 00:20:05,810 --> 00:20:04,080 aliens it's that you see something in 513 00:20:07,850 --> 00:20:05,820 the sky and is correlated with what many 514 00:20:09,890 --> 00:20:07,860 other people see it's correlated with 515 00:20:11,570 --> 00:20:09,900 other sorts of experiences it's 516 00:20:13,970 --> 00:20:11,580 correlated with 517 00:20:16,930 --> 00:20:13,980 say cattle mutilations it's correlated 518 00:20:19,370 --> 00:20:16,940 with plenty else and 519 00:20:21,110 --> 00:20:19,380 if not all correlated it's not as if 520 00:20:22,370 --> 00:20:21,120 every time you see your voice you find a 521 00:20:24,770 --> 00:20:22,380 cattle mutilated but I'm saying there's 522 00:20:26,390 --> 00:20:24,780 correlations so it's not merely you see 523 00:20:28,070 --> 00:20:26,400 something and thus you jump 524 00:20:29,690 --> 00:20:28,080 quote-unquote jump to the conclusion 525 00:20:32,090 --> 00:20:29,700 that is therefore 526 00:20:33,770 --> 00:20:32,100 aliens and also it's unclear if it's 527 00:20:35,270 --> 00:20:33,780 just aliens it's not as if that's the 528 00:20:36,890 --> 00:20:35,280 only Theory going around in these 529 00:20:39,169 --> 00:20:36,900 circles yes right it's not even clear 530 00:20:41,270 --> 00:20:39,179 what alien means doesn't mean time 531 00:20:42,710 --> 00:20:41,280 traveling people well that's difficult 532 00:20:45,789 --> 00:20:42,720 to verify it's difficult to understand 533 00:20:48,409 --> 00:20:45,799 what that means without breaking well 534 00:20:50,810 --> 00:20:48,419 yes without breaking certain laws of 535 00:20:52,549 --> 00:20:50,820 physics but even that's dubious because 536 00:20:54,230 --> 00:20:52,559 you can have closed time like curves and 537 00:20:56,029 --> 00:20:54,240 general relativity it's just there's 538 00:20:57,950 --> 00:20:56,039 certain problems with 539 00:20:59,810 --> 00:20:57,960 with time traveling but then there are 540 00:21:04,250 --> 00:20:59,820 other the point is 541 00:21:06,830 --> 00:21:04,260 that that is not simply you see some 542 00:21:09,169 --> 00:21:06,840 object in the sky and then you 543 00:21:10,549 --> 00:21:09,179 conclude that it's thus some 544 00:21:12,830 --> 00:21:10,559 extraterrestrial 545 00:21:15,169 --> 00:21:12,840 but that's what he's that's what he's 546 00:21:17,690 --> 00:21:15,179 saying that or I don't want to speak 547 00:21:20,090 --> 00:21:17,700 about him because I'd rather speak to 548 00:21:23,390 --> 00:21:20,100 him but that's what some people in the 549 00:21:25,310 --> 00:21:23,400 skeptic Community claim is going on and 550 00:21:27,890 --> 00:21:25,320 I don't think that's fair I don't think 551 00:21:29,930 --> 00:21:27,900 it's fair either because there's a lot 552 00:21:33,770 --> 00:21:29,940 of the people I talk to about this 553 00:21:36,590 --> 00:21:33,780 subject are not saying that that's what 554 00:21:38,270 --> 00:21:36,600 it is you know a lot of people say that 555 00:21:40,310 --> 00:21:38,280 they have no idea what it is other than 556 00:21:42,289 --> 00:21:40,320 you know there was something there you 557 00:21:44,990 --> 00:21:42,299 know they're not saying 558 00:21:46,730 --> 00:21:45,000 um you know extraterrestrial I'm I'm I 559 00:21:48,529 --> 00:21:46,740 think that's a very good possibility but 560 00:21:50,690 --> 00:21:48,539 I don't know if you know myself my own 561 00:21:52,549 --> 00:21:50,700 opinion that is a very good possibility 562 00:21:54,890 --> 00:21:52,559 that that's what it is but it could be 563 00:21:57,110 --> 00:21:54,900 so many other things you know I mean 564 00:21:58,570 --> 00:21:57,120 like you mentioned the time travel is 565 00:22:01,370 --> 00:21:58,580 one of the theories that are out there 566 00:22:04,730 --> 00:22:01,380 interdimensional is another one 567 00:22:08,270 --> 00:22:04,740 um you know and then uh I had uh the 568 00:22:10,010 --> 00:22:08,280 next CIA officer last week who thinks 569 00:22:13,010 --> 00:22:10,020 that it's something that's always been 570 00:22:15,350 --> 00:22:13,020 here you know before us and uh Still 571 00:22:16,250 --> 00:22:15,360 Still Remains here and around we're the 572 00:22:19,789 --> 00:22:16,260 foreigners 573 00:22:22,970 --> 00:22:19,799 the ones that proceeded or whatever 574 00:22:25,789 --> 00:22:22,980 which uh it's all fat to me it's one of 575 00:22:27,590 --> 00:22:25,799 the reasons I keep doing this show I 576 00:22:30,230 --> 00:22:27,600 really enjoy doing the show because I 577 00:22:32,870 --> 00:22:30,240 get to hear all these ideas and things 578 00:22:35,870 --> 00:22:32,880 and and you know after all these years 579 00:22:39,350 --> 00:22:35,880 of doing this and over 500 and well 580 00:22:43,190 --> 00:22:39,360 you're I think you're 537 for the guest 581 00:22:45,909 --> 00:22:43,200 um I I don't really know 137 guests yeah 582 00:22:49,130 --> 00:22:45,919 I really don't know anymore 583 00:22:52,130 --> 00:22:49,140 at this point you know it's just uh it's 584 00:22:54,049 --> 00:22:52,140 still very exciting to me because 585 00:22:56,630 --> 00:22:54,059 you know I I like to hear about the 586 00:22:58,909 --> 00:22:56,640 actual incidents as well that really 587 00:23:02,210 --> 00:22:58,919 fascinates me a lot you know because 588 00:23:05,450 --> 00:23:02,220 some of them are so bizarre they make 589 00:23:06,049 --> 00:23:05,460 no sense at all which 590 00:23:09,169 --> 00:23:06,059 um 591 00:23:12,409 --> 00:23:09,179 to me almost makes them even stronger 592 00:23:14,990 --> 00:23:12,419 you know like uh pass out just bizarre 593 00:23:17,690 --> 00:23:15,000 things uh because it doesn't sound it 594 00:23:20,870 --> 00:23:17,700 doesn't appear like it's anything that 595 00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:20,880 um could be made up or I I I'd like to 596 00:23:26,270 --> 00:23:23,760 when I meet someone that 597 00:23:29,090 --> 00:23:26,280 is outside of the UFO world or whatever 598 00:23:31,789 --> 00:23:29,100 and I happen to bring up a topic that 599 00:23:33,230 --> 00:23:31,799 you know it kind of feeds into this and 600 00:23:36,590 --> 00:23:33,240 I say well by the way I do a show on 601 00:23:38,750 --> 00:23:36,600 UFOs oh well let me tell you about this 602 00:23:41,990 --> 00:23:38,760 story and they I've heard some just 603 00:23:43,850 --> 00:23:42,000 amazing stories that are so bizarre and 604 00:23:45,950 --> 00:23:43,860 almost don't even make any sense you 605 00:23:47,870 --> 00:23:45,960 know I mean I'll just give a quick 606 00:23:49,549 --> 00:23:47,880 example I mean this is my show I know 607 00:23:52,669 --> 00:23:49,559 I've talked about it before on my show 608 00:23:55,370 --> 00:23:52,679 but I was out in Phoenix at a conference 609 00:23:57,470 --> 00:23:55,380 out there and there was a 610 00:23:59,990 --> 00:23:57,480 uh I was walking my dog and there was a 611 00:24:02,270 --> 00:24:00,000 girl out that worked the 612 00:24:04,730 --> 00:24:02,280 um casino that was outside 613 00:24:06,169 --> 00:24:04,740 uh smoking cigarette and she said what's 614 00:24:08,990 --> 00:24:06,179 going on in there and I said well it's a 615 00:24:10,610 --> 00:24:09,000 UFO conference and she goes oh wow geez 616 00:24:11,990 --> 00:24:10,620 maybe I should check that out and then 617 00:24:13,789 --> 00:24:12,000 she started telling me the story she 618 00:24:16,850 --> 00:24:13,799 said her and her friend were driving 619 00:24:20,390 --> 00:24:16,860 past the Mesa and they saw this like 620 00:24:22,669 --> 00:24:20,400 triangular thing like lift off and kind 621 00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:22,679 of float toward them and then it was 622 00:24:27,049 --> 00:24:25,140 directly over their car and then it 623 00:24:29,750 --> 00:24:27,059 blasted like this bright light down 624 00:24:31,490 --> 00:24:29,760 inside their car and they sped up to 625 00:24:32,930 --> 00:24:31,500 like 100 miles an hour 626 00:24:36,590 --> 00:24:32,940 and 627 00:24:39,289 --> 00:24:36,600 just right over the top of the car the 628 00:24:41,690 --> 00:24:39,299 whole time and so they like went off on 629 00:24:43,970 --> 00:24:41,700 side roads or something like that and 630 00:24:46,190 --> 00:24:43,980 she said and it was gone it just 631 00:24:47,990 --> 00:24:46,200 vanished and then she said all of a 632 00:24:49,430 --> 00:24:48,000 sudden the biggest owl I've ever seen in 633 00:24:51,710 --> 00:24:49,440 my life was right there in front of the 634 00:24:53,570 --> 00:24:51,720 car now something so weird that doesn't 635 00:24:56,090 --> 00:24:53,580 make any sense 636 00:24:57,950 --> 00:24:56,100 I just think that is just an incredible 637 00:25:01,669 --> 00:24:57,960 thing and and other people have talked 638 00:25:03,110 --> 00:25:01,679 about owls and here's this this girl I'm 639 00:25:05,450 --> 00:25:03,120 talking to that 640 00:25:07,970 --> 00:25:05,460 has never looked into the UFO topic just 641 00:25:09,649 --> 00:25:07,980 had that one event and there's a lot of 642 00:25:12,710 --> 00:25:09,659 there's a lot of interesting stories 643 00:25:16,250 --> 00:25:12,720 like that uh you know that make no sense 644 00:25:19,930 --> 00:25:16,260 I love the ones that make no sense 645 00:25:22,010 --> 00:25:19,940 you know it's just very curious 646 00:25:23,630 --> 00:25:22,020 does she 647 00:25:26,149 --> 00:25:23,640 was she able to explain how she could 648 00:25:29,029 --> 00:25:26,159 see it above her car because yeah she 649 00:25:32,450 --> 00:25:29,039 had a wife she had a uh well it came in 650 00:25:34,130 --> 00:25:32,460 from the the she had a sunroof and it 651 00:25:35,870 --> 00:25:34,140 came in that way but she saw it like 652 00:25:38,330 --> 00:25:35,880 first of all she saw it over the they 653 00:25:40,850 --> 00:25:38,340 could see it was over the car itself and 654 00:25:43,370 --> 00:25:40,860 then the light came down and lit it up 655 00:25:45,649 --> 00:25:43,380 like uh like a blast of light the whole 656 00:25:47,750 --> 00:25:45,659 car was very very bright inside and it 657 00:25:49,549 --> 00:25:47,760 was turned during the day it wasn't an 658 00:25:53,390 --> 00:25:49,559 evening sighting either 659 00:25:55,250 --> 00:25:53,400 so yeah it's really bizarre yeah again 660 00:25:56,690 --> 00:25:55,260 makes makes no sense but those are the 661 00:25:58,970 --> 00:25:56,700 ones I like 662 00:26:02,330 --> 00:25:58,980 yeah yeah 663 00:26:04,370 --> 00:26:02,340 um so as far as uh you know we're going 664 00:26:07,310 --> 00:26:04,380 to talk about other other topics as well 665 00:26:09,710 --> 00:26:07,320 besides UFO topic but what do you think 666 00:26:14,750 --> 00:26:09,720 about the uh us government's involvement 667 00:26:19,130 --> 00:26:16,250 well 668 00:26:21,230 --> 00:26:19,140 it's it's either an admission 669 00:26:25,490 --> 00:26:21,240 or its obfuscation 670 00:26:28,610 --> 00:26:25,500 another one's interesting to me yeah 671 00:26:30,529 --> 00:26:28,620 yeah that that that's uh something I 672 00:26:33,169 --> 00:26:30,539 never really thought of but you know uh 673 00:26:36,049 --> 00:26:33,179 some people have said that in the UFO 674 00:26:38,630 --> 00:26:36,059 world that they think that you know this 675 00:26:40,490 --> 00:26:38,640 is just window dressing and 676 00:26:43,070 --> 00:26:40,500 um and just hoping you know people go 677 00:26:46,070 --> 00:26:43,080 away after they get some answers and not 678 00:26:48,350 --> 00:26:46,080 really uh get too many you know enough 679 00:26:50,029 --> 00:26:48,360 out there and we've been told this a 680 00:26:51,529 --> 00:26:50,039 number of times that you know it's being 681 00:26:54,169 --> 00:26:51,539 looked into and 682 00:26:56,090 --> 00:26:54,179 over the over the decades Project Blue 683 00:26:58,130 --> 00:26:56,100 Book the Condon 684 00:27:00,470 --> 00:26:58,140 um commission or whatever that was 685 00:27:02,990 --> 00:27:00,480 called so there's been a number of times 686 00:27:05,210 --> 00:27:03,000 that there's there feels like there's 687 00:27:07,789 --> 00:27:05,220 going to be some type of Promise of 688 00:27:10,669 --> 00:27:07,799 understanding this but I really don't 689 00:27:12,010 --> 00:27:10,679 think that they understand that's my own 690 00:27:14,870 --> 00:27:12,020 opinion 691 00:27:18,649 --> 00:27:14,880 yeah I get that feeling as well 692 00:27:20,870 --> 00:27:18,659 yeah I mean if if they had to 693 00:27:23,090 --> 00:27:20,880 say to 694 00:27:25,789 --> 00:27:23,100 to the United States you know the the 695 00:27:28,070 --> 00:27:25,799 people of the United States like we 696 00:27:31,610 --> 00:27:28,080 really don't know what it is 697 00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:31,620 uh that's flying around in the sky that 698 00:27:36,350 --> 00:27:33,120 people are seeing we have no idea what 699 00:27:38,450 --> 00:27:36,360 it is I think that would be that would 700 00:27:41,090 --> 00:27:38,460 raise a lot of fear in a lot of people 701 00:27:44,269 --> 00:27:41,100 and I don't think they'll ever say that 702 00:27:45,890 --> 00:27:44,279 hmm I don't know I I imagine that the 703 00:27:47,570 --> 00:27:45,900 panic quote-unquote panic would be 704 00:27:48,649 --> 00:27:47,580 momentary for that if they just said 705 00:27:50,269 --> 00:27:48,659 there are 706 00:27:52,430 --> 00:27:50,279 objects in the sky and we don't know 707 00:27:54,289 --> 00:27:52,440 what they are I don't know if that would 708 00:27:55,909 --> 00:27:54,299 cause extreme Panic or if it would be 709 00:27:57,710 --> 00:27:55,919 Panic that would be prolonged I think 710 00:27:59,870 --> 00:27:57,720 that's an excuse unless they have 711 00:28:02,090 --> 00:27:59,880 something else that I don't that it 712 00:28:03,710 --> 00:28:02,100 doesn't occur to me I don't know I don't 713 00:28:05,149 --> 00:28:03,720 buy that as an excuse I don't think it 714 00:28:06,289 --> 00:28:05,159 would happen and I just don't buy it as 715 00:28:07,850 --> 00:28:06,299 an excuse 716 00:28:12,049 --> 00:28:07,860 but again 717 00:28:13,669 --> 00:28:12,059 I don't know I'm learning and 718 00:28:15,350 --> 00:28:13,679 I don't know 719 00:28:17,269 --> 00:28:15,360 I don't buy it 720 00:28:19,850 --> 00:28:17,279 yeah yeah 721 00:28:22,450 --> 00:28:19,860 um so if have you yourself ever had a 722 00:28:27,350 --> 00:28:22,460

to 759 00:30:00,590 --> 00:29:58,260 go through some unread messages 760 00:30:03,049 --> 00:30:00,600 but that's not enough time 761 00:30:05,210 --> 00:30:03,059 and then by the time the next session 762 00:30:08,210 --> 00:30:05,220 there's so much more piled up so yeah 763 00:30:10,850 --> 00:30:08,220 that's unfortunate yeah I remember I 764 00:30:14,450 --> 00:30:10,860 talked to you are you familiar with who 765 00:30:16,850 --> 00:30:14,460 Seth shostak is at seti he's uh the 766 00:30:19,430 --> 00:30:16,860 senior scientist it's the city 767 00:30:21,169 --> 00:30:19,440 um Institute and he told me he gets 4 768 00:30:23,210 --> 00:30:21,179 000 emails a day I don't know if that's 769 00:30:25,490 --> 00:30:23,220 if that's true or not but that's that's 770 00:30:27,649 --> 00:30:25,500 a heck of a lot of emails yeah I doubt 771 00:30:30,590 --> 00:30:27,659 that's I doubt it's 4 000 but yeah yeah 772 00:30:32,450 --> 00:30:30,600 maybe including newsletters he signed up 773 00:30:34,970 --> 00:30:32,460 for but yes it could be 774 00:30:36,830 --> 00:30:34,980 yeah I mean I could I could see hundreds 775 00:30:39,470 --> 00:30:36,840 I mean I feel like yeah exactly I get 776 00:30:41,690 --> 00:30:39,480 many dozens myself well you can do a 777 00:30:43,130 --> 00:30:41,700 calculation like four thousand times 365 778 00:30:44,810 --> 00:30:43,140 and how many is that is it the same 779 00:30:46,789 --> 00:30:44,820 person emailing multiple times Jack 780 00:30:48,470 --> 00:30:46,799 sarfatty if anyone's on his list there 781 00:30:50,630 --> 00:30:48,480 are at least 20 emails a day from Jack 782 00:30:54,110 --> 00:30:50,640 so does that count as 20 emails or one 783 00:30:58,130 --> 00:30:54,120 yeah exactly exactly 784 00:30:59,690 --> 00:30:58,140 um so let's uh I I think I think I kind 785 00:31:02,090 --> 00:30:59,700 of went through everything that I was 786 00:31:03,889 --> 00:31:02,100 thinking about uh I guess I do want to 787 00:31:05,029 --> 00:31:03,899 ask you do you ever think that people 788 00:31:07,310 --> 00:31:05,039 will 789 00:31:10,070 --> 00:31:07,320 eventually understand what what it is 790 00:31:11,510 --> 00:31:10,080 that that UFOs uapr 791 00:31:13,730 --> 00:31:11,520 yeah 792 00:31:15,710 --> 00:31:13,740 so I'm in a minority camp but again this 793 00:31:16,909 --> 00:31:15,720 is my present deliberation it tends to 794 00:31:19,370 --> 00:31:16,919 change every 795 00:31:21,529 --> 00:31:19,380 every couple weeks or every day 796 00:31:23,750 --> 00:31:21,539 sometimes so I think yes I think we'll 797 00:31:25,669 --> 00:31:23,760 understand it but we'll understand it in 798 00:31:27,769 --> 00:31:25,679 the same way that we understand a sperm 799 00:31:29,690 --> 00:31:27,779 whale so we don't know what the heck a 800 00:31:30,830 --> 00:31:29,700 sperm whale does with the majority of 801 00:31:32,750 --> 00:31:30,840 its time 802 00:31:35,269 --> 00:31:32,760 we don't know how it attacks how it eats 803 00:31:36,769 --> 00:31:35,279 its prey there's so many Mysteries but 804 00:31:38,690 --> 00:31:36,779 but yeah we've 805 00:31:40,010 --> 00:31:38,700 we imagined that they're a mammal we 806 00:31:41,930 --> 00:31:40,020 think they're mammal when we see the 807 00:31:44,029 --> 00:31:41,940 evidence for that and we understand they 808 00:31:45,230 --> 00:31:44,039 live in the ocean we understand they're 809 00:31:47,330 --> 00:31:45,240 evolutionary 810 00:31:49,970 --> 00:31:47,340 their their relationship in the 811 00:31:51,769 --> 00:31:49,980 phylogenetic tree and we understand 812 00:31:53,750 --> 00:31:51,779 a bit about what it does eat even though 813 00:31:55,970 --> 00:31:53,760 we don't know how it does eat it 814 00:31:58,130 --> 00:31:55,980 so I imagine it would be like that like 815 00:32:01,010 --> 00:31:58,140 broad Strokes we would understand but as 816 00:32:03,289 --> 00:32:01,020 for specifics much like anything else in 817 00:32:06,529 --> 00:32:03,299 science it's it's it's not going to be 818 00:32:08,090 --> 00:32:06,539 complete nor in the case of the sperm 819 00:32:09,230 --> 00:32:08,100 whale satisfactory at least not to 820 00:32:11,690 --> 00:32:09,240 people who study sperm whales most 821 00:32:14,810 --> 00:32:11,700 people don't care 822 00:32:16,850 --> 00:32:14,820 yeah yeah well you know a lot of people 823 00:32:20,090 --> 00:32:16,860 are saying that we're in some type of 824 00:32:23,990 --> 00:32:20,100 disclosure now since 2017. 825 00:32:25,430 --> 00:32:24,000 um you know and I I think that's and a 826 00:32:28,070 --> 00:32:25,440 lot of people claim we've already it's 827 00:32:31,130 --> 00:32:28,080 already been disclosed but I don't I 828 00:32:33,230 --> 00:32:31,140 don't yeah I don't see I don't know what 829 00:32:34,730 --> 00:32:33,240 they are referring to and I've heard 830 00:32:36,289 --> 00:32:34,740 these I've heard so many so many people 831 00:32:38,090 --> 00:32:36,299 say this but what do you mean what 832 00:32:39,889 --> 00:32:38,100 counts as disclosure to them like yeah 833 00:32:42,710 --> 00:32:39,899 do they even say that 834 00:32:44,510 --> 00:32:42,720 I what do they mean we're in the middle 835 00:32:46,370 --> 00:32:44,520 of disclosure what they mean is that 836 00:32:49,850 --> 00:32:46,380 it's a long process and we've started 837 00:32:51,230 --> 00:32:49,860 Step Zero or one okay but if what they 838 00:32:52,430 --> 00:32:51,240 mean is that it's been disclosed like 839 00:32:53,990 --> 00:32:52,440 what more do you want what do you mean 840 00:32:56,570 --> 00:32:54,000 what more do you want do you not do you 841 00:32:59,510 --> 00:32:56,580 have that little disconnect with 842 00:33:00,950 --> 00:32:59,520 with not ufology but just the because 843 00:33:03,230 --> 00:33:00,960 that's a word that's apparently tainted 844 00:33:05,630 --> 00:33:03,240 the people who are interested in UFOs do 845 00:33:08,750 --> 00:33:05,640 you not understand what what they want 846 00:33:11,090 --> 00:33:08,760 like they don't want just some 847 00:33:13,190 --> 00:33:11,100 government saying that there are objects 848 00:33:14,509 --> 00:33:13,200 and we don't know where they're from we 849 00:33:15,950 --> 00:33:14,519 want to know do they know more do they 850 00:33:18,649 --> 00:33:15,960 have access to craft can we see a 851 00:33:21,649 --> 00:33:18,659 picture can we have some admission some 852 00:33:23,450 --> 00:33:21,659 explicit admission it's not I don't know 853 00:33:25,509 --> 00:33:23,460 what's meant when they say disclosure 854 00:33:28,430 --> 00:33:25,519 has occurred what are they referring to 855 00:33:31,789 --> 00:33:28,440 anything right 856 00:33:35,930 --> 00:33:31,799 yeah agreed so I I don't buy that 857 00:33:38,210 --> 00:33:35,940 I had uh Lou elizondo's been on my show 858 00:33:40,130 --> 00:33:38,220 a few times and one of the things he 859 00:33:43,070 --> 00:33:40,140 said on another podcast and I questioned 860 00:33:46,130 --> 00:33:43,080 to him about it was that we're soon to 861 00:33:49,490 --> 00:33:46,140 see a 23 minute video I don't know where 862 00:33:50,990 --> 00:33:49,500 he came up with that exactly uh but it 863 00:33:53,750 --> 00:33:51,000 was supposed to be with multiple craft 864 00:33:56,810 --> 00:33:53,760 and it's going to be really good you 865 00:33:59,210 --> 00:33:56,820 know evidence or whatever so I've been 866 00:34:02,029 --> 00:33:59,220 waiting for that for almost a year now 867 00:34:03,529 --> 00:34:02,039 yeah 23 minutes coincidentally is the 868 00:34:05,029 --> 00:34:03,539 exact time frame of a television show 869 00:34:07,669 --> 00:34:05,039 with commercials so I don't know what 870 00:34:09,470 --> 00:34:07,679 form this this video takes and by the 871 00:34:12,310 --> 00:34:09,480 way I I love Lou and I respect Lou that 872 00:34:14,930 --> 00:34:12,320 was no in no way a jab to Lou like I I I 873 00:34:18,349 --> 00:34:14,940 so just so you know I do not take that 874 00:34:20,149 --> 00:34:18,359 as a like I I just I'm just letting you 875 00:34:22,849 --> 00:34:20,159 know maybe he's been told something yeah 876 00:34:25,730 --> 00:34:22,859 I I expect that he's been told that 877 00:34:27,409 --> 00:34:25,740 right right all right well let's uh 878 00:34:28,790 --> 00:34:27,419 there's some other topics I would like 879 00:34:31,010 --> 00:34:28,800 to talk to you about 880 00:34:33,230 --> 00:34:31,020 um and 881 00:34:37,129 --> 00:34:33,240 uh so I guess I would like to ask you 882 00:34:39,050 --> 00:34:37,139 what is the most exciting research topic 883 00:34:42,290 --> 00:34:39,060 when it comes to theoretical physics 884 00:34:42,300 --> 00:34:44,750 right 885 00:34:51,050 --> 00:34:48,530 so physics okay so let's get clear as to 886 00:34:52,669 --> 00:34:51,060 what theoretical physics means because 887 00:34:54,169 --> 00:34:52,679 so if there's high energy physics which 888 00:34:55,369 --> 00:34:54,179 is what I like which actually doesn't 889 00:34:57,890 --> 00:34:55,379 mean physics 890 00:35:00,170 --> 00:34:57,900 it means a map that's inspired by 891 00:35:01,609 --> 00:35:00,180 physics so 892 00:35:03,710 --> 00:35:01,619 for people who are interested there's 893 00:35:05,870 --> 00:35:03,720 something called a poisson bracket you 894 00:35:07,550 --> 00:35:05,880 use that In classical mechanics now if 895 00:35:09,290 --> 00:35:07,560 you just take the poisson bracket and 896 00:35:10,790 --> 00:35:09,300 you find some new construction with it 897 00:35:13,130 --> 00:35:10,800 or some new results some new theorem 898 00:35:15,170 --> 00:35:13,140 involving the poisson bracket you can 899 00:35:16,910 --> 00:35:15,180 publish in a journal for classical 900 00:35:18,589 --> 00:35:16,920 mechanics even though it may have 901 00:35:21,230 --> 00:35:18,599 nothing to do with class with classical 902 00:35:23,810 --> 00:35:21,240 mechanics so that's what theoretical 903 00:35:25,849 --> 00:35:23,820 physics is like there's it's just math 904 00:35:28,670 --> 00:35:25,859 inspired by physics 905 00:35:30,410 --> 00:35:28,680 which is why there's such criticism for 906 00:35:32,210 --> 00:35:30,420 string theory because unclear does this 907 00:35:34,069 --> 00:35:32,220 have any application it may have in 908 00:35:36,530 --> 00:35:34,079 principle no application 909 00:35:39,530 --> 00:35:36,540 or no 910 00:35:40,790 --> 00:35:39,540 or in practice no application because in 911 00:35:42,710 --> 00:35:40,800 order to test it you may create a black 912 00:35:45,290 --> 00:35:42,720 hole for instance 913 00:35:48,589 --> 00:35:45,300 okay so there's that so but I happen to 914 00:35:50,690 --> 00:35:48,599 like that I I I love Theory so that's 915 00:35:53,930 --> 00:35:50,700 just like my bread and butter 916 00:35:55,370 --> 00:35:53,940 if I was to redo it I would go into like 917 00:35:56,870 --> 00:35:55,380 for something that's actually physics 918 00:35:58,490 --> 00:35:56,880 what I think is actually physics or what 919 00:36:00,470 --> 00:35:58,500 is actually physics is condensed matter 920 00:36:02,569 --> 00:36:00,480 physics so plenty of like I mentioned 921 00:36:04,730 --> 00:36:02,579 the theoretical side they have exotic 922 00:36:07,130 --> 00:36:04,740 States exotic states of matter that come 923 00:36:08,510 --> 00:36:07,140 about and it turns out that they have a 924 00:36:10,849 --> 00:36:08,520 basis in something called condensed 925 00:36:13,550 --> 00:36:10,859 matter physics so superconductors super 926 00:36:16,250 --> 00:36:13,560 cooling materials 927 00:36:28,490 --> 00:36:16,260 and 928 00:36:29,569 --> 00:36:28,500 of particle physics 929 00:36:32,810 --> 00:36:29,579 um 930 00:36:34,190 --> 00:36:32,820 can that explain the Universe I know 931 00:36:36,290 --> 00:36:34,200 that's kind of a 932 00:36:38,810 --> 00:36:36,300 intense question maybe I asked it wrong 933 00:36:43,030 --> 00:36:38,820 asked it wrong well 934 00:36:48,650 --> 00:36:46,210 I'm not trying to try to ask that again 935 00:36:53,030 --> 00:36:48,660 yeah how does a standard model of 936 00:36:57,589 --> 00:36:56,150 well it doesn't so 937 00:36:59,569 --> 00:36:57,599 okay 938 00:37:01,609 --> 00:36:59,579 it doesn't explain the universe it 939 00:37:03,170 --> 00:37:01,619 explains particle interactions and even 940 00:37:06,230 --> 00:37:03,180 there it doesn't explain quote-unquote 941 00:37:09,290 --> 00:37:06,240 it gives some calculations some tools 942 00:37:11,089 --> 00:37:09,300 there's a physicist that I philosopher 943 00:37:13,190 --> 00:37:11,099 of physics who I interviewed named Tim 944 00:37:15,650 --> 00:37:13,200 Maudlin and he said that 945 00:37:17,270 --> 00:37:15,660 every whenever you learn quantum 946 00:37:20,569 --> 00:37:17,280 mechanics sorry whenever you learned 947 00:37:22,609 --> 00:37:20,579 quantum theory in University you don't 948 00:37:24,890 --> 00:37:22,619 learn quantum theory you learn 949 00:37:27,770 --> 00:37:24,900 quantum mechanics so a tool for 950 00:37:30,050 --> 00:37:27,780 calculating what's going on at a 951 00:37:30,890 --> 00:37:30,060 small level so Quant at a subatomic 952 00:37:32,990 --> 00:37:30,900 level 953 00:37:35,390 --> 00:37:33,000 but a theory should have an account of 954 00:37:37,849 --> 00:37:35,400 ontology like what the heck is going on 955 00:37:39,650 --> 00:37:37,859 what is physically happening 956 00:37:41,930 --> 00:37:39,660 standard the standard model is much like 957 00:37:44,690 --> 00:37:41,940 the shut up and calculate mindset 958 00:37:46,490 --> 00:37:44,700 and it's it's not the 959 00:37:49,550 --> 00:37:46,500 it doesn't 960 00:37:51,650 --> 00:37:49,560 explain a part of an explanation at 961 00:37:53,510 --> 00:37:51,660 least what we think so is the as 962 00:37:55,370 --> 00:37:53,520 colloquially is to understand what's 963 00:37:57,829 --> 00:37:55,380 going on just because you have 964 00:37:59,810 --> 00:37:57,839 statistical correlations it doesn't give 965 00:38:01,609 --> 00:37:59,820 an account as to what's metaphysically 966 00:38:04,250 --> 00:38:01,619 happening so I want to say it explains 967 00:38:05,810 --> 00:38:04,260 the universe and secondly it just 968 00:38:07,550 --> 00:38:05,820 explains if it was to explain anything 969 00:38:09,109 --> 00:38:07,560 it would be particle interactions and 970 00:38:11,390 --> 00:38:09,119 it's not clear how gravity comes about 971 00:38:12,829 --> 00:38:11,400 it's not clear how Consciousness comes 972 00:38:14,569 --> 00:38:12,839 about and I would say that those are 973 00:38:16,010 --> 00:38:14,579 extreme parts of the unit well not 974 00:38:18,410 --> 00:38:16,020 extreme those are crucial parts of the 975 00:38:19,790 --> 00:38:18,420 universe that we would want to know an 976 00:38:21,950 --> 00:38:19,800 account of in order to quote unquote 977 00:38:22,970 --> 00:38:21,960 explain the universe and unless what 978 00:38:24,650 --> 00:38:22,980 they mean is explain the physical 979 00:38:26,150 --> 00:38:24,660 universe 980 00:38:28,130 --> 00:38:26,160 but even there like I mentioned it's 981 00:38:30,950 --> 00:38:28,140 incomplete and virtually every physicist 982 00:38:34,550 --> 00:38:30,960 agrees on that hmm 983 00:38:37,730 --> 00:38:34,560 now I know like the gravity is 984 00:38:41,630 --> 00:38:37,740 is really really hard to understand 985 00:38:44,930 --> 00:38:41,640 uh you know how how it works and I know 986 00:38:47,210 --> 00:38:44,940 there's been there was sort of a semi 987 00:38:52,130 --> 00:38:47,220 minor breakthrough in that I don't know 988 00:38:56,089 --> 00:38:52,140 maybe five or ten years ago and uh 989 00:38:58,010 --> 00:38:56,099 and how does that fit in with uh there's 990 00:39:00,170 --> 00:38:58,020 so many questions that I think we have 991 00:39:04,190 --> 00:39:00,180 that we can't really understand in like 992 00:39:06,290 --> 00:39:04,200 black uh dark matter and you know uh 993 00:39:10,069 --> 00:39:06,300 black energy what am I saying that Rock 994 00:39:12,230 --> 00:39:10,079 Energy yeah uh so there's just so many 995 00:39:13,910 --> 00:39:12,240 things that we don't understand and may 996 00:39:16,670 --> 00:39:13,920 they may have some type of relationship 997 00:39:18,109 --> 00:39:16,680 to each other all three of them 998 00:39:19,370 --> 00:39:18,119 yeah 999 00:39:22,790 --> 00:39:19,380 they may 1000 00:39:24,290 --> 00:39:22,800 think that the Mysteries have a 1001 00:39:27,890 --> 00:39:24,300 relationship to one another I don't know 1002 00:39:30,790 --> 00:39:27,900 if that's always the case but it is it's 1003 00:39:33,170 --> 00:39:30,800 one route to go 1004 00:39:35,690 --> 00:39:33,180 and uh one of the things that's always 1005 00:39:38,089 --> 00:39:35,700 fascinated me is to the quantum uh the 1006 00:39:40,970 --> 00:39:38,099 entanglement Theory so what are the 1007 00:39:46,250 --> 00:39:40,980 implications of quantum entanglement for 1008 00:39:51,170 --> 00:39:48,829 someone I want to interview Martin is 1009 00:39:53,150 --> 00:39:51,180 someone on this recent experiment at 1010 00:39:55,730 --> 00:39:53,160 Google about 1011 00:39:57,470 --> 00:39:55,740 quantum entanglement and wormholes 1012 00:39:58,970 --> 00:39:57,480 so I don't know I haven't looked into it 1013 00:40:03,890 --> 00:39:58,980 but apparently there's something called 1014 00:40:10,130 --> 00:40:08,210 just a moment epr equals 1015 00:40:12,530 --> 00:40:10,140 oh I signed rolls and bridges right 1016 00:40:14,569 --> 00:40:12,540 right here so er okay Einstein equals 1017 00:40:17,329 --> 00:40:14,579 sorry epr equals ER 1018 00:40:18,530 --> 00:40:17,339 that just means that entanglement equals 1019 00:40:20,150 --> 00:40:18,540 a wormhole 1020 00:40:22,430 --> 00:40:20,160 it doesn't exactly mean that there's 1021 00:40:24,530 --> 00:40:22,440 some mathematical formulation 1022 00:40:27,050 --> 00:40:24,540 I don't understand it I don't understand 1023 00:40:29,450 --> 00:40:27,060 the philosophical implications for 1024 00:40:31,910 --> 00:40:29,460 quantum entanglement and so something 1025 00:40:33,589 --> 00:40:31,920 I'm working on to understand it is a 1026 00:40:36,109 --> 00:40:33,599 book on the interpretations of quantum 1027 00:40:39,109 --> 00:40:36,119 mechanics so I'm 1028 00:40:41,270 --> 00:40:39,119 writing that and that will then I'll 1029 00:40:42,890 --> 00:40:41,280 hopefully have a coherent answer for you 1030 00:40:45,170 --> 00:40:42,900 So my answer whenever I don't understand 1031 00:40:47,750 --> 00:40:45,180 something I just tend to write about it 1032 00:40:49,910 --> 00:40:47,760 ah interesting do you think there ever 1033 00:40:55,370 --> 00:40:49,920 will be a Theory of Everything 1034 00:41:00,950 --> 00:40:58,849 I I see there being 1035 00:41:02,810 --> 00:41:00,960 for what a culture at a certain time 1036 00:41:04,790 --> 00:41:02,820 thinks of as complete 1037 00:41:07,310 --> 00:41:04,800 yes and then I imagine that there will 1038 00:41:10,370 --> 00:41:07,320 be some other piece of evidence that 1039 00:41:12,829 --> 00:41:10,380 comes about that reveals a new Vista so 1040 00:41:14,870 --> 00:41:12,839 for instance in the late 1900s there was 1041 00:41:16,849 --> 00:41:14,880 a theory of everything and it was 1042 00:41:19,130 --> 00:41:16,859 Newtonian mechanics so classical 1043 00:41:20,089 --> 00:41:19,140 mechanics plus statistical mechanics and 1044 00:41:21,950 --> 00:41:20,099 they thought that's all or 1045 00:41:23,030 --> 00:41:21,960 electrodynamics too and they thought 1046 00:41:24,890 --> 00:41:23,040 that's all 1047 00:41:26,810 --> 00:41:24,900 it was unclear how to combine them and 1048 00:41:28,370 --> 00:41:26,820 it turns out that you you get special 1049 00:41:30,109 --> 00:41:28,380 relativity and many other effects when 1050 00:41:31,970 --> 00:41:30,119 you combine them 1051 00:41:35,990 --> 00:41:31,980 but 1052 00:41:37,730 --> 00:41:36,000 and I imagine that that's 1053 00:41:40,190 --> 00:41:37,740 what will be in the state of in the next 1054 00:41:42,349 --> 00:41:40,200 30 Years the toe will be on the horizon 1055 00:41:45,050 --> 00:41:42,359 if not complete but then something new 1056 00:41:46,370 --> 00:41:45,060 will be discovered that shatters all of 1057 00:41:48,910 --> 00:41:46,380 that 1058 00:41:51,170 --> 00:41:48,920 hmm yeah 1059 00:41:53,990 --> 00:41:51,180 sorry agree with that part of it sure 1060 00:41:55,370 --> 00:41:54,000 yeah 1061 00:41:57,470 --> 00:41:55,380 and 1062 00:41:59,630 --> 00:41:57,480 so I guess uh 1063 00:42:01,849 --> 00:41:59,640 the the whole thing about entanglement 1064 00:42:03,950 --> 00:42:01,859 is just so fascinating it doesn't 1065 00:42:05,210 --> 00:42:03,960 it doesn't seem like it could even be 1066 00:42:08,510 --> 00:42:05,220 possible 1067 00:42:10,849 --> 00:42:08,520 the interactions across unlimited space 1068 00:42:12,530 --> 00:42:10,859 supposedly 1069 00:42:14,329 --> 00:42:12,540 I mean I don't even know how they test 1070 00:42:17,810 --> 00:42:14,339 something like that do you have any idea 1071 00:42:24,710 --> 00:42:22,370 yes so there are ways of 1072 00:42:27,050 --> 00:42:24,720 there are ways of creating a scenario 1073 00:42:29,210 --> 00:42:27,060 that because of a conservation law 1074 00:42:32,810 --> 00:42:29,220 meaning so here's a conservation law 1075 00:42:37,670 --> 00:42:35,810 if if this was to disappear 1076 00:42:38,990 --> 00:42:37,680 then the mass in the room changed and 1077 00:42:40,310 --> 00:42:39,000 you have to look somewhere else for the 1078 00:42:42,650 --> 00:42:40,320 mass and it turns out that if you look 1079 00:42:44,270 --> 00:42:42,660 hard enough you'll find the mass pop up 1080 00:42:45,950 --> 00:42:44,280 somewhere so there's Mass conservation 1081 00:42:47,450 --> 00:42:45,960 turns out that there's not exactly Mass 1082 00:42:48,829 --> 00:42:47,460 conservation but the point is I'm trying 1083 00:42:52,849 --> 00:42:48,839 to explain what a conservation law is 1084 00:42:55,130 --> 00:42:52,859 that something is conserved across time 1085 00:42:56,690 --> 00:42:55,140 it turns out spin is something that's 1086 00:42:59,569 --> 00:42:56,700 conserved across time so Elementary 1087 00:43:02,030 --> 00:42:59,579 particles Spin and they can spin in two 1088 00:43:05,750 --> 00:43:02,040 directions what's called up and what's 1089 00:43:08,270 --> 00:43:05,760 called down so if the total spin in this 1090 00:43:10,250 --> 00:43:08,280 room is zero and we created particles 1091 00:43:11,990 --> 00:43:10,260 and I know for sure one of the particles 1092 00:43:20,870 --> 00:43:12,000 has 1093 00:43:23,089 --> 00:43:20,880 cancel in order to equal zero so what 1094 00:43:25,069 --> 00:43:23,099 happens is you create particles that you 1095 00:43:26,990 --> 00:43:25,079 don't observe and through 1096 00:43:32,510 --> 00:43:27,000 some 1097 00:43:34,370 --> 00:43:32,520 have a defined up or down which is 1098 00:43:36,589 --> 00:43:34,380 strange to think about and there are 1099 00:43:38,569 --> 00:43:36,599 some theories that go against this for 1100 00:43:40,190 --> 00:43:38,579 instance Tim Maudlin is a realist and 1101 00:43:41,750 --> 00:43:40,200 believes the particles do actually carry 1102 00:43:44,030 --> 00:43:41,760 an up or down but in the standard 1103 00:43:45,770 --> 00:43:44,040 interpretations they don't have up or 1104 00:43:48,410 --> 00:43:45,780 down until they're observed they exist 1105 00:43:50,210 --> 00:43:48,420 in an amalgam of them of the they exist 1106 00:43:52,130 --> 00:43:50,220 in an amalgam of up and down a 1107 00:43:54,650 --> 00:43:52,140 superposition it's what's called 1108 00:43:56,510 --> 00:43:54,660 superposite I have I don't believe in 1109 00:43:59,390 --> 00:43:56,520 superposition I thought that's so 1110 00:44:00,410 --> 00:43:59,400 strange I'm making such inflammatory 1111 00:44:02,450 --> 00:44:00,420 statements 1112 00:44:03,710 --> 00:44:02,460 but I can explain why I don't believe in 1113 00:44:05,089 --> 00:44:03,720 superposition 1114 00:44:07,550 --> 00:44:05,099 later 1115 00:44:09,230 --> 00:44:07,560 anyway so it's up and down 1116 00:44:10,430 --> 00:44:09,240 let me be clear just in case someone's 1117 00:44:12,349 --> 00:44:10,440 going to comment and I never get to the 1118 00:44:14,089 --> 00:44:12,359 explanation I believe in superposition 1119 00:44:16,069 --> 00:44:14,099 as a mathematical tool I don't believe 1120 00:44:18,829 --> 00:44:16,079 that particles aren't indeed in two 1121 00:44:21,250 --> 00:44:18,839 places at once for instance okay so if 1122 00:44:24,170 --> 00:44:21,260 you create a particle or particle pair 1123 00:44:26,329 --> 00:44:24,180 and you know that 1124 00:44:27,890 --> 00:44:26,339 this particle is in some superposition 1125 00:44:29,270 --> 00:44:27,900 of up and down and this one is in a 1126 00:44:30,230 --> 00:44:29,280 superposition of up and down you created 1127 00:44:31,730 --> 00:44:30,240 it but you don't know what because 1128 00:44:33,770 --> 00:44:31,740 you're not going to observe it and then 1129 00:44:37,069 --> 00:44:33,780 you wait until you go until one goes off 1130 00:44:39,589 --> 00:44:37,079 to Canada where are you in the states 1131 00:44:41,210 --> 00:44:39,599 yes yeah okay so one goes off to Canada 1132 00:44:44,809 --> 00:44:41,220 the other goes to which which city are 1133 00:44:47,930 --> 00:44:44,819 you in well I'm in Rockland Maine okay 1134 00:44:50,809 --> 00:44:47,940 so one goes off to Maine and you can 1135 00:44:53,210 --> 00:44:50,819 and and you can figure out 1136 00:44:54,710 --> 00:44:53,220 sorry and you can measure them so every 1137 00:44:56,390 --> 00:44:54,720 time I measure mine I measure mine is up 1138 00:44:57,710 --> 00:44:56,400 let's say our measure mine is down it 1139 00:44:59,630 --> 00:44:57,720 doesn't matter I measure it as one 1140 00:45:01,490 --> 00:44:59,640 either up or down the other one is 1141 00:45:03,890 --> 00:45:01,500 either up or down correspondingly to 1142 00:45:04,790 --> 00:45:03,900 make it cancel every single time and 1143 00:45:07,309 --> 00:45:04,800 that has to happen because of 1144 00:45:09,109 --> 00:45:07,319 conservation now where does the so 1145 00:45:10,370 --> 00:45:09,119 there's nothing wrong with that but 1146 00:45:12,890 --> 00:45:10,380 where does the faster than light 1147 00:45:15,230 --> 00:45:12,900 communication come from well if I 1148 00:45:16,790 --> 00:45:15,240 measure mine I Collapse it I Collapse it 1149 00:45:18,109 --> 00:45:16,800 either to up or to down like 1150 00:45:19,069 --> 00:45:18,119 instantaneously I measure mine a 1151 00:45:22,250 --> 00:45:19,079 candidate I'm measuring the mine in 1152 00:45:24,349 --> 00:45:22,260 Toronto I ask you like you measure yours 1153 00:45:26,809 --> 00:45:24,359 and it turns out it still matches even 1154 00:45:28,970 --> 00:45:26,819 though there was no for the for light to 1155 00:45:30,109 --> 00:45:28,980 have traveled from me to you it didn't 1156 00:45:31,970 --> 00:45:30,119 have enough time it wouldn't have 1157 00:45:34,550 --> 00:45:31,980 reached you so it's strange how the heck 1158 00:45:37,430 --> 00:45:34,560 if these didn't have something defined 1159 00:45:40,130 --> 00:45:37,440 before I defined Mine by looking at it 1160 00:45:41,930 --> 00:45:40,140 it collapsed it collapses up how the 1161 00:45:44,569 --> 00:45:41,940 heck does yours even know to collapse to 1162 00:45:45,790 --> 00:45:44,579 down in order to in order to conserve 1163 00:45:48,829 --> 00:45:45,800 globally 1164 00:45:50,630 --> 00:45:48,839 that's what quantum entanglement is and 1165 00:45:51,650 --> 00:45:50,640 there are ways of formulating that 1166 00:45:54,410 --> 00:45:51,660 experiment 1167 00:45:55,730 --> 00:45:54,420 I don't think they go as far as hundreds 1168 00:45:58,069 --> 00:45:55,740 of kilometers but I think they've done 1169 00:46:00,349 --> 00:45:58,079 it it's to I think it's been done to 1170 00:46:05,349 --> 00:46:00,359 like 12 kilometers I'm not sure 1171 00:46:08,450 --> 00:46:05,359 yeah even even anything apart 1172 00:46:09,829 --> 00:46:08,460 yeah yeah just astonishing now I would 1173 00:46:12,349 --> 00:46:09,839 like to talk a little bit about 1174 00:46:14,270 --> 00:46:12,359 Consciousness because again I as I 1175 00:46:16,849 --> 00:46:14,280 mentioned in the beginning a lot of 1176 00:46:19,670 --> 00:46:16,859 people talk about that relationship with 1177 00:46:21,890 --> 00:46:19,680 UFOs which I really don't understand but 1178 00:46:32,450 --> 00:46:21,900 what what is the relationship between 1179 00:46:42,530 --> 00:46:37,069 so 1180 00:46:44,750 --> 00:46:42,540 question that comes that depends on if 1181 00:46:47,210 --> 00:46:44,760 one is a materialist or an idealist and 1182 00:46:49,069 --> 00:46:47,220 maybe some other IST or some other ISM 1183 00:46:50,329 --> 00:46:49,079 some of the materialist sense they would 1184 00:46:52,490 --> 00:46:50,339 say that hey there's just some 1185 00:46:54,710 --> 00:46:52,500 interactions of particles some Dynamics 1186 00:46:57,109 --> 00:46:54,720 and that creates Consciousness and then 1187 00:46:58,609 --> 00:46:57,119 in the idealist Consciousness is 1188 00:47:01,550 --> 00:46:58,619 fundamental sense they would say no no 1189 00:47:03,170 --> 00:47:01,560 the brain is an element of consciousness 1190 00:47:05,270 --> 00:47:03,180 and you're somehow interacting with 1191 00:47:07,069 --> 00:47:05,280 Consciousness so it's Consciousness it's 1192 00:47:09,290 --> 00:47:07,079 not as if the brain produces 1193 00:47:11,210 --> 00:47:09,300 Consciousness the brain is what 1194 00:47:13,190 --> 00:47:11,220 Consciousness looks like from another 1195 00:47:15,349 --> 00:47:13,200 perspective 1196 00:47:17,569 --> 00:47:15,359 I I don't know I don't know how to 1197 00:47:21,230 --> 00:47:17,579 answer such a question 1198 00:47:24,290 --> 00:47:21,240 yeah yeah well I also wondered 1199 00:47:27,290 --> 00:47:24,300 what type of beings have Consciousness 1200 00:47:30,970 --> 00:47:27,300 and what what don't in other words does 1201 00:47:33,950 --> 00:47:30,980 it does an ant have consciousness 1202 00:47:37,069 --> 00:47:33,960 uh you know I mean I don't know how that 1203 00:47:39,349 --> 00:47:37,079 is measured or anything yeah 1204 00:47:42,950 --> 00:47:39,359 yeah I don't know and this is an age-old 1205 00:47:44,930 --> 00:47:42,960 question it's unclear it's 1206 00:47:47,750 --> 00:47:44,940 yeah it's extreme so I can lead you down 1207 00:47:49,730 --> 00:47:47,760 some dark places if you if you seriously 1208 00:47:52,550 --> 00:47:49,740 contend with that question 1209 00:47:55,790 --> 00:47:52,560 and and basically how does it 1210 00:47:58,730 --> 00:47:55,800 how would Consciousness arise from a 1211 00:48:03,370 --> 00:48:00,530 you're asking like the hardest questions 1212 00:48:05,990 --> 00:48:03,380 man well these are questions 1213 00:48:07,849 --> 00:48:06,000 these are some philosophers have been 1214 00:48:10,010 --> 00:48:07,859 asking this question for for decades and 1215 00:48:12,349 --> 00:48:10,020 then maybe even some rudimentary version 1216 00:48:15,109 --> 00:48:12,359 of it for Millennia so I don't I don't 1217 00:48:17,270 --> 00:48:15,119 know how to answer that yeah yeah and by 1218 00:48:20,210 --> 00:48:17,280 the way this is uh you you're gonna 1219 00:48:23,109 --> 00:48:20,220 probably laugh when you hear this 1220 00:48:26,690 --> 00:48:23,119 um I used AI for some of these questions 1221 00:48:28,970 --> 00:48:26,700 sure and uh there's a new chat out there 1222 00:48:32,450 --> 00:48:28,980 I'm sure you've probably heard of it 1223 00:48:35,150 --> 00:48:32,460 um yeah so I use that in asking for help 1224 00:48:36,650 --> 00:48:35,160 with these questions and yeah they 1225 00:48:39,470 --> 00:48:36,660 really posts some some difficult 1226 00:48:41,450 --> 00:48:39,480 questions I think and here's another one 1227 00:48:45,589 --> 00:48:41,460 how does Consciousness shape our 1228 00:48:50,329 --> 00:48:47,930 I I don't know I I would say that it's 1229 00:48:54,109 --> 00:48:50,339 not it doesn't shape our perception of 1230 00:48:58,750 --> 00:48:54,119 reality it allows us to perceive 1231 00:49:02,569 --> 00:48:58,760 so hmm so so an 1232 00:49:02,579 --> 00:49:06,950 computers 1233 00:49:09,829 --> 00:49:08,089 so what's the relationship between 1234 00:49:12,230 --> 00:49:09,839 computers and computation well computers 1235 00:49:18,589 --> 00:49:12,240 allow computation to occur computers 1236 00:49:18,599 --> 00:49:22,370 hmm 1237 00:49:22,380 --> 00:49:25,010 okay 1238 00:49:28,190 --> 00:49:26,750 yeah I don't I don't know if that's 1239 00:49:33,770 --> 00:49:28,200 satisfactory and so the act of 1240 00:49:35,690 --> 00:49:33,780 perceiving is is consciousness then the 1241 00:49:37,069 --> 00:49:35,700 it's 1242 00:49:39,349 --> 00:49:37,079 yeah I don't know how to explain it I'm 1243 00:49:42,050 --> 00:49:39,359 sorry Martin yeah no no this is all this 1244 00:49:44,750 --> 00:49:42,060 is really interesting uh and this AI 1245 00:49:46,190 --> 00:49:44,760 this AI is a great yeah it's the AIS uh 1246 00:49:48,050 --> 00:49:46,200 and I'm going to ask a question about 1247 00:49:50,329 --> 00:49:48,060 that in a minute but 1248 00:49:51,890 --> 00:49:50,339 um and so I also asked what's a really 1249 00:49:53,450 --> 00:49:51,900 good question to ask about free will 1250 00:49:55,970 --> 00:49:53,460 because that's another one that's really 1251 00:49:56,990 --> 00:49:55,980 an interesting topic that I I think is 1252 00:50:00,170 --> 00:49:57,000 anyway 1253 00:50:02,990 --> 00:50:00,180 and is Free Will an illusion or is it a 1254 00:50:08,390 --> 00:50:05,270 I think Free Will is a word like 1255 00:50:10,910 --> 00:50:08,400 Consciousness where it's unclear how to 1256 00:50:12,829 --> 00:50:10,920 explicitly Define it but it does have a 1257 00:50:14,750 --> 00:50:12,839 meaning we mean something when we say it 1258 00:50:17,930 --> 00:50:14,760 it just seems that our 1259 00:50:20,270 --> 00:50:17,940 rational attempts to investigate it 1260 00:50:22,130 --> 00:50:20,280 are like us trying to grab water and it 1261 00:50:24,829 --> 00:50:22,140 just falls through our hands and it 1262 00:50:26,030 --> 00:50:24,839 means that it's easy to conclude that 1263 00:50:27,890 --> 00:50:26,040 it's an illusion I think that's the 1264 00:50:30,290 --> 00:50:27,900 easiest route to take 1265 00:50:32,750 --> 00:50:30,300 I think that it's The Logical route to 1266 00:50:34,130 --> 00:50:32,760 take the well that's even that's 1267 00:50:36,589 --> 00:50:34,140 difficult to say but I don't think the 1268 00:50:39,050 --> 00:50:36,599 rationality and logic is all 1269 00:50:41,630 --> 00:50:39,060 so I think that we're trying to capture 1270 00:50:43,069 --> 00:50:41,640 something that's extremely elusive 1271 00:50:45,170 --> 00:50:43,079 and 1272 00:50:46,609 --> 00:50:45,180 it allows people like Daniel Dennett to 1273 00:50:50,390 --> 00:50:46,619 conclude that even Consciousness is an 1274 00:50:52,309 --> 00:50:50,400 illusion so I don't know I don't think I 1275 00:50:54,410 --> 00:50:52,319 think that it has meaning and we're not 1276 00:50:56,870 --> 00:50:54,420 properly characterizing it we're trying 1277 00:50:59,750 --> 00:50:56,880 to with our words and our words can't 1278 00:51:02,329 --> 00:50:59,760 Define it currently so there's two 1279 00:51:05,030 --> 00:51:02,339 options to that one is the non-dual 1280 00:51:08,290 --> 00:51:05,040 route of just not speaking about it this 1281 00:51:11,630 --> 00:51:08,300 just escapes just experience it 1282 00:51:15,589 --> 00:51:11,640 the other route is that we need a more 1283 00:51:19,069 --> 00:51:15,599 explicated language and I tend to take 1284 00:51:21,290 --> 00:51:19,079 both routes I'm exploring both 1285 00:51:23,510 --> 00:51:21,300 much of these investigations into tolls 1286 00:51:24,770 --> 00:51:23,520 into theories of everything 1287 00:51:27,349 --> 00:51:24,780 they 1288 00:51:29,690 --> 00:51:27,359 uh 1289 00:51:31,250 --> 00:51:29,700 an inference that's easy to draw is that 1290 00:51:32,809 --> 00:51:31,260 we should just forget about speaking 1291 00:51:33,950 --> 00:51:32,819 about it just live your life go in the 1292 00:51:35,650 --> 00:51:33,960 mountains 1293 00:51:38,290 --> 00:51:35,660 well 1294 00:51:41,569 --> 00:51:38,300 and be endearing 1295 00:51:44,089 --> 00:51:41,579 and I think that's partly true I also 1296 00:51:45,710 --> 00:51:44,099 think it's true that there are many 1297 00:51:47,030 --> 00:51:45,720 several several problems in fact 1298 00:51:49,730 --> 00:51:47,040 virtually every problem we can think of 1299 00:51:50,990 --> 00:51:49,740 that Millennia ago couldn't be solved 1300 00:51:53,270 --> 00:51:51,000 because we didn't have the language for 1301 00:51:55,250 --> 00:51:53,280 it and now we can I think that it's just 1302 00:51:56,450 --> 00:51:55,260 part of part of the problem by the way 1303 00:52:05,510 --> 00:51:56,460 is 1304 00:52:07,790 --> 00:52:05,520 so now that Chalmers has made explicit 1305 00:52:09,890 --> 00:52:07,800 seemingly the hard problem of 1306 00:52:11,210 --> 00:52:09,900 Consciousness which is I think 20 years 1307 00:52:13,250 --> 00:52:11,220 old now or so 1308 00:52:15,650 --> 00:52:13,260 maybe 25 1309 00:52:17,329 --> 00:52:15,660 I imagine that Consciousness the hard 1310 00:52:19,430 --> 00:52:17,339 problem of consciousness 1311 00:52:23,089 --> 00:52:19,440 I imagine that the hard problem of 1312 00:52:26,329 --> 00:52:23,099 Consciousness will be solved in 25 years 1313 00:52:28,549 --> 00:52:26,339 and I also and now this is my present 1314 00:52:30,230 --> 00:52:28,559 deliberation again so I don't like to 1315 00:52:34,910 --> 00:52:30,240 State opinions because 1316 00:52:36,829 --> 00:52:34,920 I am fickle and my mind is Mercurial it 1317 00:52:39,770 --> 00:52:36,839 changes fairly rapidly 1318 00:52:41,750 --> 00:52:39,780 so either way I think my current 1319 00:52:43,549 --> 00:52:41,760 deliberation is that 1320 00:52:45,290 --> 00:52:43,559 Consciousness the heart problem will be 1321 00:52:47,390 --> 00:52:45,300 solved in 25 years and it will be so 1322 00:52:50,569 --> 00:52:47,400 trivial and we'll look back and think 1323 00:52:52,430 --> 00:52:50,579 that was obvious and furthermore there 1324 00:52:54,410 --> 00:52:52,440 will be some new problem right now 1325 00:52:56,630 --> 00:52:54,420 that's The Fad like oh my gosh you can't 1326 00:52:58,309 --> 00:52:56,640 just you can't go into a philosophical 1327 00:53:01,730 --> 00:52:58,319 discussion without mentioning the hard 1328 00:53:03,950 --> 00:53:01,740 problem of Consciousness so but go back 1329 00:53:05,990 --> 00:53:03,960 100 years that wasn't even there 1330 00:53:07,849 --> 00:53:06,000 I imagine that something new will occur 1331 00:53:09,530 --> 00:53:07,859 that just blows our mind and we can't 1332 00:53:11,809 --> 00:53:09,540 imagine how could you ever derive this 1333 00:53:13,790 --> 00:53:11,819 from this like the odds from the is 1334 00:53:15,589 --> 00:53:13,800 perhaps or maybe even more fundamental 1335 00:53:18,770 --> 00:53:15,599 and then our understanding of what 1336 00:53:21,770 --> 00:53:18,780 fundamental is Will constantly change 1337 00:53:24,470 --> 00:53:21,780 yeah excellent well I I think we'll 1338 00:53:27,890 --> 00:53:24,480 we'll we we're done our show basically 1339 00:53:30,170 --> 00:53:27,900 and I want to thank you so much for uh 1340 00:53:31,790 --> 00:53:30,180 for being here and uh you know I did 1341 00:53:33,230 --> 00:53:31,800 have one let's see if you can answer 1342 00:53:35,930 --> 00:53:33,240 this real quickly because we only have 1343 00:53:39,589 --> 00:53:35,940 about 30 seconds here uh do you think 1344 00:53:42,109 --> 00:53:39,599 that AI is a dangerous thing for our 1345 00:53:43,910 --> 00:53:42,119 future I mean maybe I think it may be 1346 00:53:46,130 --> 00:53:43,920 the most dangerous 1347 00:53:48,049 --> 00:53:46,140 but I don't know again yeah I don't know 1348 00:53:49,490 --> 00:53:48,059 and I think that some of the people who 1349 00:53:51,589 --> 00:53:49,500 are working on AI I think they should 1350 00:53:53,030 --> 00:53:51,599 examine their motivations and examine 1351 00:53:56,270 --> 00:53:53,040 what they're doing some of the people at 1352 00:54:00,530 --> 00:53:56,280 open AI who are creating chat GPT and 1353 00:54:03,109 --> 00:54:00,540 gpt4 and the mid-journey 3 and Dolly 1354 00:54:06,349 --> 00:54:03,119 four or Dolly three I think that they 1355 00:54:08,030 --> 00:54:06,359 don't think about the consequences of 1356 00:54:09,710 --> 00:54:08,040 what they're doing same with Google same 1357 00:54:11,390 --> 00:54:09,720 with Microsoft I think they're all 1358 00:54:13,430 --> 00:54:11,400 Engineers or the majority of them are 1359 00:54:14,930 --> 00:54:13,440 engineers and it's akin to people who 1360 00:54:16,910 --> 00:54:14,940 are in the Manhattan Project who are 1361 00:54:19,670 --> 00:54:16,920 physicists who are so jazzed about the 1362 00:54:20,870 --> 00:54:19,680 physics super Jazz it's fun me and you 1363 00:54:22,730 --> 00:54:20,880 were having extreme amount of fun 1364 00:54:24,530 --> 00:54:22,740 speaking about this it's even more fun 1365 00:54:25,849 --> 00:54:24,540 to investigate it with a pen and a paper 1366 00:54:28,010 --> 00:54:25,859 and do research 1367 00:54:29,329 --> 00:54:28,020 I think that they don't realize that 1368 00:54:31,190 --> 00:54:29,339 what they're creating they're going to 1369 00:54:32,390 --> 00:54:31,200 burn their hands just like Einstein said 1370 00:54:34,010 --> 00:54:32,400 I would have burned my hands had I know 1371 00:54:36,170 --> 00:54:34,020 the consequences of what I had signed 1372 00:54:39,170 --> 00:54:36,180 off to yeah speaking about the nuclear 1373 00:54:41,930 --> 00:54:39,180 bomb right so yeah so a question is like 1374 00:54:44,690 --> 00:54:41,940 well for these open AI people sure what 1375 00:54:48,230 --> 00:54:44,700 you're doing has a huge 1376 00:54:50,390 --> 00:54:48,240 there's the possibility for extreme 1377 00:54:52,849 --> 00:54:50,400 public benefit extreme 1378 00:54:55,609 --> 00:54:52,859 but is that worse is that worth the 1379 00:54:59,710 --> 00:54:55,619 possibility for extreme destruction 1380 00:55:02,030 --> 00:54:59,720 perhaps even civilization annihilation 1381 00:55:03,890 --> 00:55:02,040 I think that they need to 1382 00:55:05,630 --> 00:55:03,900 I think each person needs to think about 1383 00:55:07,670 --> 00:55:05,640 is what I'm doing ethical and or 1384 00:55:08,809 --> 00:55:07,680 possibly can it be turned into something 1385 00:55:10,849 --> 00:55:08,819 unethical 1386 00:55:12,530 --> 00:55:10,859 yeah and I think that it's terrible it's 1387 00:55:13,970 --> 00:55:12,540 a terrible place to be where someone 1388 00:55:15,470 --> 00:55:13,980 says well look I'm not going to quit my 1389 00:55:17,089 --> 00:55:15,480 job at Google because one it pays well 1390 00:55:19,430 --> 00:55:17,099 in a second if I don't do it someone 1391 00:55:20,930 --> 00:55:19,440 else will it reminds me of this movie I 1392 00:55:22,849 --> 00:55:20,940 forget what it was but it has Nicolas 1393 00:55:24,410 --> 00:55:22,859 Cage and he was a weapons dealer I 1394 00:55:26,150 --> 00:55:24,420 believe and he said hey I may as well 1395 00:55:27,950 --> 00:55:26,160 deal weapons because if I don't someone 1396 00:55:29,809 --> 00:55:27,960 else is going to take my position I 1397 00:55:32,930 --> 00:55:29,819 think
