1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,310 [Music] 2 00:00:18,950 --> 00:00:16,390 it was basically a cube with inside of 3 00:00:23,950 --> 00:00:18,960 sphere where the points of the cube 4 00:00:37,190 --> 00:00:33,220 [Music] 5 00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:37,200 [Applause] 6 00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:38,719 so this isn't anything that just is 7 00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:40,960 limited to the united states it's a 8 00:00:50,869 --> 00:00:48,709 hi everyone and welcome back to that ufo 9 00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:50,879 podcast my name is andy i'm delighted to 10 00:00:55,270 --> 00:00:52,960 welcome with me a professor at stanford 11 00:00:57,990 --> 00:00:55,280 university school of medicine his 12 00:01:01,189 --> 00:00:58,000 research is in microbiology immunology 13 00:01:03,590 --> 00:01:01,199 biocomputation and analysis of ufo 14 00:01:06,070 --> 00:01:03,600 artifacts materials and also reports of 15 00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:06,080 ufo encounters i have the one and only 16 00:01:09,350 --> 00:01:08,080 professor gary nolan gary welcome to the 17 00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:09,360 podcast 18 00:01:12,710 --> 00:01:11,040 thank you very much i'm looking forward 19 00:01:15,429 --> 00:01:12,720 to the discussion 20 00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:15,439 as to gary very popular guest as soon as 21 00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:16,720 we announced you were coming on it's 22 00:01:20,230 --> 00:01:18,560 been quite exciting a lot of listener 23 00:01:22,149 --> 00:01:20,240 interest as well so hopefully we can do 24 00:01:24,550 --> 00:01:22,159 that some justice for those who are 25 00:01:26,390 --> 00:01:24,560 listening and watching along gary i want 26 00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:26,400 to know first a little bit about your 27 00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:28,640 your early experiences of the ufo 28 00:01:31,590 --> 00:01:29,600 subject 29 00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:31,600 as a child growing up did you have any 30 00:01:36,069 --> 00:01:34,320 favorite books tvs or movies that were 31 00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:36,079 influences and what became a bit of a 32 00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:38,400 passion of yours 33 00:01:42,389 --> 00:01:40,880 well i've always been interested in 34 00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:42,399 science fiction i mean i think some of 35 00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:45,040 the first books that i ever read were 36 00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:47,680 sci-fi mostly arthur c clarke 37 00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:50,640 uh and isaac asimov so you know i'm i'm 38 00:01:56,550 --> 00:01:53,600 a child of the 60s if you will so at 39 00:01:59,910 --> 00:01:56,560 that time the big time uh science 40 00:02:01,590 --> 00:01:59,920 fiction writers were those two heinlein 41 00:02:03,510 --> 00:02:01,600 uh larry niven 42 00:02:04,389 --> 00:02:03,520 etc and 43 00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:04,399 they 44 00:02:08,309 --> 00:02:06,240 pretty much taught me frankly a lot 45 00:02:10,389 --> 00:02:08,319 about the way the universe might be 46 00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:10,399 constructed because they were all what 47 00:02:14,869 --> 00:02:12,560 you would call hard science fiction 48 00:02:16,630 --> 00:02:14,879 writers as opposed to the more social 49 00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:16,640 sciences types so that they would base 50 00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:17,920 their stories 51 00:02:22,150 --> 00:02:19,920 largely around some sort of scientific 52 00:02:24,710 --> 00:02:22,160 principle a novel one usually they would 53 00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:24,720 propose like you know isaac asimov's the 54 00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:27,120 laws of robotics and things like that 55 00:02:33,830 --> 00:02:30,720 uh and uh so that pretty much 56 00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:33,840 settled me in terms of my my kinds of 57 00:02:38,710 --> 00:02:36,560 interests in fiction but it kind of went 58 00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:38,720 a little bit beyond fiction in that 59 00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:40,160 you could see 60 00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:42,160 many of these things becoming a reality 61 00:02:46,229 --> 00:02:44,400 and it's almost a trope these days 62 00:02:47,990 --> 00:02:46,239 that you know science fiction becomes 63 00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:48,000 reality and the science fiction is 64 00:02:51,350 --> 00:02:49,360 really just a prediction of what's to 65 00:02:55,110 --> 00:02:51,360 come so 66 00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:55,120 that always was i guess the center of my 67 00:02:59,750 --> 00:02:57,680 fantasy mental life 68 00:03:02,229 --> 00:02:59,760 uh if you will 69 00:03:03,990 --> 00:03:02,239 arthur c clarke said himself that any 70 00:03:06,390 --> 00:03:04,000 sufficiently advanced technology would 71 00:03:07,589 --> 00:03:06,400 be indistinguishable from magic and that 72 00:03:09,430 --> 00:03:07,599 certainly sounds like something you've 73 00:03:11,589 --> 00:03:09,440 kept going throughout your career with 74 00:03:13,509 --> 00:03:11,599 some of the reported things you've had 75 00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:13,519 your hands on and got to study and just 76 00:03:16,949 --> 00:03:15,040 the work you've done 77 00:03:18,869 --> 00:03:16,959 i want to get right into talking about a 78 00:03:20,869 --> 00:03:18,879 recent podcast appearance of yours was 79 00:03:23,190 --> 00:03:20,879 on lex friedman and that was a 80 00:03:24,949 --> 00:03:23,200 fascinating wonderful discussion you 81 00:03:27,190 --> 00:03:24,959 spoke about dna 82 00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:27,200 and how it's almost a perfect memory 83 00:03:32,070 --> 00:03:29,760 system now i am far from the mind and 84 00:03:34,149 --> 00:03:32,080 the genius that lex foodman has so it'll 85 00:03:36,229 --> 00:03:34,159 be a bit more layman's terms here you 86 00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:36,239 talked about how three billion bits of 87 00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:39,120 information don't make up gary or lex or 88 00:03:43,830 --> 00:03:41,440 or andy and that's a really interesting 89 00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:43,840 way to think of it do you think we are 90 00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:47,040 created for our environment or 91 00:03:51,430 --> 00:03:49,280 are we a product of evolution or maybe a 92 00:03:53,550 --> 00:03:51,440 little bit of both 93 00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:53,560 well i i don't like to get into 94 00:03:57,429 --> 00:03:56,239 anthropomorphisms as to whether we are 95 00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:57,439 created 96 00:04:01,429 --> 00:03:58,560 per se 97 00:04:03,670 --> 00:04:01,439 let's just say that the environment is 98 00:04:04,390 --> 00:04:03,680 such that it allowed for something like 99 00:04:05,270 --> 00:04:04,400 us 100 00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:05,280 to 101 00:04:07,589 --> 00:04:06,319 become 102 00:04:10,309 --> 00:04:07,599 right so 103 00:04:13,589 --> 00:04:10,319 you know the the universe is constructed 104 00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:13,599 in a way that allows for life to live 105 00:04:16,870 --> 00:04:15,040 now 106 00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:16,880 how it was constructed 107 00:04:21,270 --> 00:04:18,959 whether it was purposefully constructed 108 00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:21,280 by something or whether it was just 109 00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:23,840 fundamentally a part of reality that 110 00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:26,000 meant it had to happen those are two 111 00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:28,000 very different things one implies an 112 00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:29,280 intent 113 00:04:35,510 --> 00:04:32,240 the other is just this is how it is and 114 00:04:37,030 --> 00:04:35,520 it has to be um now why it has to be and 115 00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:37,040 i'll leave that to the physicists and to 116 00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:38,560 the philosophers 117 00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:40,000 you know i'm just going to deal with 118 00:04:49,510 --> 00:04:41,280 what is 119 00:04:52,230 --> 00:04:49,520 that if they and and this borrows 120 00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:52,240 quite heavily from uh the selfish gene 121 00:04:57,670 --> 00:04:53,600 hypothesis 122 00:04:59,990 --> 00:04:57,680 that if you can access resources and 123 00:05:01,990 --> 00:05:00,000 make more copies of something 124 00:05:04,390 --> 00:05:02,000 you will right so that's the whole 125 00:05:05,189 --> 00:05:04,400 selfish gene idea 126 00:05:06,469 --> 00:05:05,199 that 127 00:05:09,270 --> 00:05:06,479 um 128 00:05:11,350 --> 00:05:09,280 given a limited amount of 129 00:05:13,430 --> 00:05:11,360 opportunity 130 00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:13,440 but an infinite amount of time for 131 00:05:17,909 --> 00:05:15,199 something to occur 132 00:05:19,909 --> 00:05:17,919 uh if it does occur in a way that allows 133 00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:19,919 for it then to self-perpetuate and it 134 00:05:23,110 --> 00:05:20,800 has 135 00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:23,120 access to resources it will so you don't 136 00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:24,960 need any 137 00:05:28,230 --> 00:05:26,160 uh 138 00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:28,240 other reason than 139 00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:29,440 um 140 00:05:33,670 --> 00:05:31,759 the ability to self-replicate 141 00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:33,680 for something to begin to self-replicate 142 00:05:36,230 --> 00:05:34,800 and once something starts to 143 00:05:39,510 --> 00:05:36,240 self-replicate 144 00:05:40,629 --> 00:05:39,520 it then comes into competition with 145 00:05:42,230 --> 00:05:40,639 other things that are trying to 146 00:05:44,710 --> 00:05:42,240 self-replicate and that's where 147 00:05:46,950 --> 00:05:44,720 evolution happens right that's where you 148 00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:46,960 start to vary uh the way that you 149 00:05:52,550 --> 00:05:50,560 replicate uh super to out-compete 150 00:05:54,469 --> 00:05:52,560 something else and this becomes 151 00:05:55,749 --> 00:05:54,479 especially important as resources become 152 00:06:01,189 --> 00:05:55,759 limited 153 00:06:03,029 --> 00:06:01,199 right or liv or not much reason for 154 00:06:03,909 --> 00:06:03,039 evolution but once resources start 155 00:06:07,270 --> 00:06:03,919 getting 156 00:06:09,830 --> 00:06:07,280 uh limited that's when evolution occurs 157 00:06:11,670 --> 00:06:09,840 louis elizondo a colleague of yours has 158 00:06:13,749 --> 00:06:11,680 talked about the idea on on several 159 00:06:16,790 --> 00:06:13,759 podcasts and other interviews recently 160 00:06:19,029 --> 00:06:16,800 that around 70 000 years ago our species 161 00:06:21,350 --> 00:06:19,039 hit an an exponential boost in 162 00:06:22,629 --> 00:06:21,360 development that propelled us to where 163 00:06:24,629 --> 00:06:22,639 we are now 164 00:06:26,309 --> 00:06:24,639 we also see similar boosts in evolution 165 00:06:30,710 --> 00:06:26,319 at times like the cambrian explosion 166 00:06:32,469 --> 00:06:30,720 event about 570 to 530 million years ago 167 00:06:34,629 --> 00:06:32,479 do you think there could have been a 168 00:06:36,230 --> 00:06:34,639 helping hand here to help us develop to 169 00:06:38,710 --> 00:06:36,240 where we are 170 00:06:39,830 --> 00:06:38,720 no again i i mean i mean yes there could 171 00:06:41,270 --> 00:06:39,840 have been 172 00:06:43,350 --> 00:06:41,280 um but 173 00:06:45,510 --> 00:06:43,360 again going back to the notion of 174 00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:45,520 complexity that and what's called 175 00:06:49,990 --> 00:06:48,000 emergent order is that the cambrian 176 00:06:50,950 --> 00:06:50,000 explosion at least from a genetic point 177 00:06:51,749 --> 00:06:50,960 of view 178 00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:51,759 uh 179 00:06:57,029 --> 00:06:54,400 looks like a place where suddenly the 180 00:06:59,189 --> 00:06:57,039 building blocks got complicated enough 181 00:07:01,909 --> 00:06:59,199 that you could put them together in ways 182 00:07:03,430 --> 00:07:01,919 that were extraordinarily unique it's 183 00:07:06,070 --> 00:07:03,440 kind of like you know playing some of 184 00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:06,080 those sims games that people do as you 185 00:07:10,790 --> 00:07:08,240 as you build more and more complicated 186 00:07:12,550 --> 00:07:10,800 objects in the sims game you get to put 187 00:07:15,189 --> 00:07:12,560 them together in far more complicated 188 00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:15,199 ways to build much more sophisticated 189 00:07:19,029 --> 00:07:17,280 structures and that's pretty much what 190 00:07:22,309 --> 00:07:19,039 we think happened during the time of the 191 00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:22,319 cambrian explosion that genetic modules 192 00:07:25,270 --> 00:07:24,160 had evolved 193 00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:25,280 that were 194 00:07:29,909 --> 00:07:28,000 so useful that you could mix and match 195 00:07:31,830 --> 00:07:29,919 them in so many different ways that you 196 00:07:35,029 --> 00:07:31,840 could create the incredible diversity of 197 00:07:38,469 --> 00:07:35,039 what people saw uh in the animal fauna 198 00:07:40,390 --> 00:07:38,479 and the flora kingdoms at the time 199 00:07:41,909 --> 00:07:40,400 so you know similarly 200 00:07:45,189 --> 00:07:41,919 you could think about perhaps something 201 00:07:47,189 --> 00:07:45,199 like that happening in human evolution 202 00:07:49,589 --> 00:07:47,199 that you had humans 203 00:07:53,189 --> 00:07:49,599 of different tribes uh and different 204 00:07:56,469 --> 00:07:53,199 subspecies that we all know now existed 205 00:07:59,510 --> 00:07:56,479 having let's say reached a level of 206 00:08:01,270 --> 00:07:59,520 mental complexity and the modules of the 207 00:08:04,070 --> 00:08:01,280 brain of 208 00:08:05,070 --> 00:08:04,080 that suddenly by 209 00:08:07,670 --> 00:08:05,080 them 210 00:08:10,790 --> 00:08:07,680 inter-breeding with each other could 211 00:08:13,110 --> 00:08:10,800 create forms of brain structure that 212 00:08:15,189 --> 00:08:13,120 would leap you ahead of the 213 00:08:16,390 --> 00:08:15,199 of the underlying 214 00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:16,400 parental 215 00:08:21,189 --> 00:08:19,280 species and it's called hybrid vigor in 216 00:08:23,749 --> 00:08:21,199 in one way that you bring together two 217 00:08:26,390 --> 00:08:23,759 things that uh you know weren't 218 00:08:28,309 --> 00:08:26,400 interacting before and so you could just 219 00:08:31,430 --> 00:08:28,319 as easily explain 220 00:08:33,750 --> 00:08:31,440 that leap ahead by sudden by bringing 221 00:08:35,509 --> 00:08:33,760 together fundamental modules that by 222 00:08:37,029 --> 00:08:35,519 themselves didn't do very much but then 223 00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:37,039 in one individual 224 00:08:41,509 --> 00:08:39,120 or individuals that two tribes might 225 00:08:43,750 --> 00:08:41,519 meet for instance and suddenly the 226 00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:43,760 the daughters and sons of that tribe 227 00:08:47,190 --> 00:08:45,360 were so much better than either of the 228 00:08:50,070 --> 00:08:47,200 parents that they were in and of 229 00:08:51,670 --> 00:08:50,080 themselves capable of exploding out into 230 00:08:54,949 --> 00:08:51,680 the rest of the world 231 00:08:56,550 --> 00:08:54,959 so you don't have to and and so if you 232 00:09:00,230 --> 00:08:56,560 don't have to 233 00:09:01,829 --> 00:09:00,240 postulate an intervening hand 234 00:09:02,550 --> 00:09:01,839 then uh 235 00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:02,560 why 236 00:09:09,350 --> 00:09:06,880 somebody shows me a video 237 00:09:10,310 --> 00:09:09,360 of you know of 238 00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:10,320 some 239 00:09:15,110 --> 00:09:13,200 speed alien intervention but i don't 240 00:09:16,870 --> 00:09:15,120 think you need to you don't need to go 241 00:09:19,269 --> 00:09:16,880 there yet 242 00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:19,279 are there any particular times 243 00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:21,279 in the human evolution that you look to 244 00:09:27,030 --> 00:09:23,920 and think there's been a growth or a 245 00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:27,040 change that isn't so easily explained or 246 00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:28,640 as you've kind of said do you think it's 247 00:09:31,829 --> 00:09:30,560 a case of it happened because it could 248 00:09:33,509 --> 00:09:31,839 happen 249 00:09:36,389 --> 00:09:33,519 yeah i i mean 250 00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:36,399 i think people point to the 70 000 year 251 00:09:41,350 --> 00:09:38,080 time frame 252 00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:41,360 mostly because the archaeological record 253 00:09:46,150 --> 00:09:44,000 suggests a sudden increase in societal 254 00:09:47,750 --> 00:09:46,160 interactions that allowed for 255 00:09:49,430 --> 00:09:47,760 trade 256 00:09:50,710 --> 00:09:49,440 the making of 257 00:09:53,590 --> 00:09:50,720 objects 258 00:09:55,750 --> 00:09:53,600 the building of our communities 259 00:09:57,990 --> 00:09:55,760 and so you know it's it you have to look 260 00:10:01,350 --> 00:09:58,000 at it as well it's it's not just say the 261 00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:01,360 genetic aspect of it it's building up uh 262 00:10:08,310 --> 00:10:05,200 let's say a a verbal oral history 263 00:10:10,949 --> 00:10:08,320 uh of wisdom if you will that could be 264 00:10:13,110 --> 00:10:10,959 passed down generation to generation 265 00:10:14,710 --> 00:10:13,120 right and so again it's like this idea 266 00:10:17,030 --> 00:10:14,720 of there's a you can think of it maybe 267 00:10:19,190 --> 00:10:17,040 as a cambrian explosion 268 00:10:22,870 --> 00:10:19,200 uh at the you know a hundred thousand 269 00:10:25,590 --> 00:10:22,880 ish years or so ago of both societal uh 270 00:10:27,269 --> 00:10:25,600 knowledge wisdom along with the capacity 271 00:10:29,910 --> 00:10:27,279 to understand it right the putting 272 00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:29,920 together of brain modules and brain 273 00:10:33,509 --> 00:10:31,040 abilities 274 00:10:36,150 --> 00:10:33,519 uh that you know i mean happened i 275 00:10:39,190 --> 00:10:36,160 believe through mutation obviously 276 00:10:41,509 --> 00:10:39,200 um so you know but but let's 277 00:10:42,710 --> 00:10:41,519 take a different step back and say 278 00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:42,720 you know 279 00:10:46,790 --> 00:10:44,800 let's say that you wanted 280 00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:46,800 to postulate 281 00:10:52,870 --> 00:10:49,760 a higher intelligence involvement in 282 00:10:56,710 --> 00:10:52,880 human history 283 00:10:59,910 --> 00:10:56,720 that that involvement doesn't need to be 284 00:11:01,910 --> 00:10:59,920 a genetic engineering manipulation event 285 00:11:05,509 --> 00:11:01,920 it could just be purposefully putting 286 00:11:07,509 --> 00:11:05,519 together tribes with the right features 287 00:11:09,430 --> 00:11:07,519 that when bred together 288 00:11:11,990 --> 00:11:09,440 would have a higher 289 00:11:13,350 --> 00:11:12,000 uh or a better um 290 00:11:15,509 --> 00:11:13,360 set of 291 00:11:17,430 --> 00:11:15,519 what we call phenotypes brain phenotypes 292 00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:17,440 or whatever than either of the parental 293 00:11:20,470 --> 00:11:18,480 tribes 294 00:11:21,829 --> 00:11:20,480 right so you could guide 295 00:11:23,829 --> 00:11:21,839 groups together 296 00:11:24,790 --> 00:11:23,839 uh in ways and you could put them 297 00:11:26,550 --> 00:11:24,800 through 298 00:11:28,870 --> 00:11:26,560 let's say 299 00:11:30,790 --> 00:11:28,880 wars you force them into wars to wean 300 00:11:32,630 --> 00:11:30,800 out the strong 301 00:11:34,389 --> 00:11:32,640 uh you know so you could you could do it 302 00:11:35,590 --> 00:11:34,399 without a single bit of intervention i 303 00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:35,600 mean just look at what we've done with 304 00:11:39,350 --> 00:11:37,120 dogs 305 00:11:41,670 --> 00:11:39,360 over just a few thousand years we've 306 00:11:44,150 --> 00:11:41,680 taken them from wolves to everything 307 00:11:45,190 --> 00:11:44,160 from fluffy little balls of pomeranian 308 00:11:48,550 --> 00:11:45,200 to 309 00:11:51,030 --> 00:11:48,560 you know giant mastiffs 310 00:11:53,430 --> 00:11:51,040 and i mean dogs are particularly 311 00:11:55,750 --> 00:11:53,440 pliable because of some genetic elements 312 00:11:57,110 --> 00:11:55,760 in their dna that allows for that kind 313 00:11:59,509 --> 00:11:57,120 of pliability 314 00:12:01,350 --> 00:11:59,519 unlike cats for instance you can't 315 00:12:04,230 --> 00:12:01,360 manipulate cat evolution quite as 316 00:12:06,870 --> 00:12:04,240 quickly as you can dogs but 317 00:12:09,030 --> 00:12:06,880 you know i mean that's what that's what 318 00:12:11,670 --> 00:12:09,040 i think could have been you don't have 319 00:12:13,750 --> 00:12:11,680 to say they specifically intervened in 320 00:12:17,509 --> 00:12:13,760 this way and anything of a higher 321 00:12:18,710 --> 00:12:17,519 intelligence frankly is not going to 322 00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:18,720 need to 323 00:12:22,470 --> 00:12:20,480 use the kind of crude genetic 324 00:12:24,790 --> 00:12:22,480 engineering that we use 325 00:12:26,949 --> 00:12:24,800 it could it would be far more subtle 326 00:12:30,310 --> 00:12:26,959 than what we're doing and and that kind 327 00:12:33,350 --> 00:12:30,320 of loops back to my discussions with lex 328 00:12:35,590 --> 00:12:33,360 about the compacted information inside 329 00:12:39,910 --> 00:12:35,600 of human dna 330 00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:39,920 this idea that um i mean human dna is 331 00:12:44,069 --> 00:12:42,720 is a zip file right within a zip file 332 00:12:46,790 --> 00:12:44,079 within a zip file within a zip file 333 00:12:49,829 --> 00:12:46,800 within a zip file you know ad infinitum 334 00:12:52,470 --> 00:12:49,839 and each layer of the unpacking as i had 335 00:12:54,389 --> 00:12:52,480 said there expects a context so the 336 00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:54,399 unpacking program 337 00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:55,760 the the zip 338 00:12:58,710 --> 00:12:57,120 unzipper 339 00:13:01,750 --> 00:12:58,720 uh is the 340 00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:01,760 is the point in time at which the dna is 341 00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:04,560 present in the cell at a stage of 342 00:13:07,910 --> 00:13:06,800 development of the egg to 343 00:13:10,710 --> 00:13:07,920 a baby 344 00:13:13,430 --> 00:13:10,720 right and so the zip file is unzipped in 345 00:13:15,829 --> 00:13:13,440 different ways in different cells but 346 00:13:17,590 --> 00:13:15,839 there's new information every time 347 00:13:20,310 --> 00:13:17,600 it unzips it 348 00:13:22,550 --> 00:13:20,320 and yet as i said before it's it's it's 349 00:13:25,990 --> 00:13:22,560 only three billion base pairs long and 350 00:13:27,350 --> 00:13:26,000 yet there is 10 to the 351 00:13:29,910 --> 00:13:27,360 gazillionth 352 00:13:30,629 --> 00:13:29,920 power of information somehow packed into 353 00:13:36,069 --> 00:13:30,639 it 354 00:13:37,110 --> 00:13:36,079 to 355 00:13:40,629 --> 00:13:37,120 mold 356 00:13:41,829 --> 00:13:40,639 the dna into certain outcomes so the 357 00:13:43,829 --> 00:13:41,839 universe 358 00:13:44,949 --> 00:13:43,839 in a way is part of the unzipping 359 00:13:47,110 --> 00:13:44,959 program 360 00:13:47,910 --> 00:13:47,120 uh that the cells 361 00:13:49,910 --> 00:13:47,920 at the 362 00:13:53,269 --> 00:13:49,920 origination point of an egg 363 00:13:54,949 --> 00:13:53,279 uses to unzip and then divide and now 364 00:13:56,470 --> 00:13:54,959 it's two and then now it's becoming the 365 00:13:58,310 --> 00:13:56,480 top of the body in the bottom of the 366 00:13:59,430 --> 00:13:58,320 body the head etc 367 00:14:02,470 --> 00:13:59,440 and so 368 00:14:05,430 --> 00:14:02,480 to me that's fascinating because 369 00:14:06,710 --> 00:14:05,440 again now now let's go to this idea of a 370 00:14:09,350 --> 00:14:06,720 higher level 371 00:14:11,990 --> 00:14:09,360 intelligence intervention 372 00:14:13,509 --> 00:14:12,000 to manipulate 373 00:14:16,949 --> 00:14:13,519 a human 374 00:14:20,310 --> 00:14:16,959 body to evolve something better 375 00:14:21,990 --> 00:14:20,320 requires a near god-like level of 376 00:14:25,590 --> 00:14:22,000 understanding 377 00:14:28,150 --> 00:14:25,600 to do the manipulation so that when you 378 00:14:31,670 --> 00:14:28,160 you put you change this dna here 379 00:14:34,310 --> 00:14:31,680 this base pair here it it will have 380 00:14:35,990 --> 00:14:34,320 resonating effects up and down the whole 381 00:14:38,389 --> 00:14:36,000 growth of the body so you have to 382 00:14:40,949 --> 00:14:38,399 somehow encompass a knowledge of that 383 00:14:43,590 --> 00:14:40,959 one change might have a disastrous 384 00:14:44,790 --> 00:14:43,600 effect later on in development of the 385 00:14:45,509 --> 00:14:44,800 brain 386 00:14:48,790 --> 00:14:45,519 so 387 00:14:50,949 --> 00:14:48,800 can't do right now i mean there's a 388 00:14:52,710 --> 00:14:50,959 there's a whole branch of biology called 389 00:14:54,870 --> 00:14:52,720 synthetic biology 390 00:14:56,949 --> 00:14:54,880 where they're basically starting it with 391 00:15:01,110 --> 00:14:56,959 with bacteria where we're trying to 392 00:15:04,069 --> 00:15:01,120 engineer organisms in the simplest ways 393 00:15:06,389 --> 00:15:04,079 but usually it's one gene at a time it's 394 00:15:09,430 --> 00:15:06,399 not an organismal 395 00:15:13,910 --> 00:15:09,440 systems-wide alteration because it 396 00:15:17,590 --> 00:15:13,920 requires that level of uh gestalt 397 00:15:20,069 --> 00:15:17,600 to understand all of that and so um 398 00:15:22,230 --> 00:15:20,079 so if you are going to postulate an 399 00:15:24,230 --> 00:15:22,240 intelligence at that level 400 00:15:26,310 --> 00:15:24,240 that's capable of doing that 401 00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:26,320 the changes that it would it would 402 00:15:30,870 --> 00:15:28,959 introduce would be so subtle 403 00:15:32,629 --> 00:15:30,880 that there's no 404 00:15:34,790 --> 00:15:32,639 ability today 405 00:15:36,389 --> 00:15:34,800 to see it 406 00:15:38,870 --> 00:15:36,399 it's really interesting because many 407 00:15:41,030 --> 00:15:38,880 people including myself when we think of 408 00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:41,040 the potential not saying it happens but 409 00:15:46,389 --> 00:15:43,519 the potential for another intelligence 410 00:15:48,389 --> 00:15:46,399 to manipulate us as a species would be 411 00:15:50,550 --> 00:15:48,399 direct and it would happen now and we 412 00:15:52,310 --> 00:15:50,560 hear about abductions and those sorts of 413 00:15:54,790 --> 00:15:52,320 things so do you think there would be 414 00:15:57,590 --> 00:15:54,800 more chance that if something was so 415 00:15:59,590 --> 00:15:57,600 capable technologically that all of 416 00:16:01,590 --> 00:15:59,600 those manipulations could have been done 417 00:16:03,829 --> 00:16:01,600 way way back at the start and like you 418 00:16:06,389 --> 00:16:03,839 see it left in various zip files to 419 00:16:08,550 --> 00:16:06,399 happen at various different times that 420 00:16:10,310 --> 00:16:08,560 was those intelligences could be could 421 00:16:13,749 --> 00:16:10,320 be long gone 422 00:16:15,509 --> 00:16:13,759 could basically have set it on a path 423 00:16:16,790 --> 00:16:15,519 that only needs occasional intervention 424 00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:16,800 again 425 00:16:22,389 --> 00:16:20,240 right i mean that's perfectly fine to to 426 00:16:24,069 --> 00:16:22,399 think about that you know you nudge it 427 00:16:25,350 --> 00:16:24,079 here you nudge it there 428 00:16:28,069 --> 00:16:25,360 um 429 00:16:29,189 --> 00:16:28,079 you know but but it it also comes back 430 00:16:31,350 --> 00:16:29,199 to 431 00:16:32,949 --> 00:16:31,360 jacques vale's control system 432 00:16:36,629 --> 00:16:32,959 right where he talks about the control 433 00:16:38,629 --> 00:16:36,639 system as a as a system of systems that 434 00:16:39,509 --> 00:16:38,639 is uh 435 00:16:42,389 --> 00:16:39,519 in a 436 00:16:44,790 --> 00:16:42,399 continual reinforcement pattern of doing 437 00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:44,800 something nudging seeing the effect 438 00:16:51,110 --> 00:16:46,959 looking for the feedback nudging again 439 00:16:52,629 --> 00:16:51,120 nudging again all driving humanity in a 440 00:16:54,870 --> 00:16:52,639 certain direction 441 00:16:56,790 --> 00:16:54,880 um now it 442 00:16:58,629 --> 00:16:56,800 it appears that that's what's happening 443 00:17:01,430 --> 00:16:58,639 at least from the way that jacques will 444 00:17:03,829 --> 00:17:01,440 talk about often talks about it but 445 00:17:05,350 --> 00:17:03,839 um from a human evolution point of view 446 00:17:08,309 --> 00:17:05,360 you could say that this is what's 447 00:17:10,069 --> 00:17:08,319 happening but again 448 00:17:12,949 --> 00:17:10,079 and i'm not disagreeing with it i'm just 449 00:17:14,949 --> 00:17:12,959 saying that we have to be careful not to 450 00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:14,959 claim that that's what's happening 451 00:17:19,429 --> 00:17:15,919 because 452 00:17:21,590 --> 00:17:19,439 there are perfectly normal ways 453 00:17:22,309 --> 00:17:21,600 let's say mainstream ways to talk about 454 00:17:26,870 --> 00:17:22,319 it 455 00:17:29,029 --> 00:17:26,880 that you know so you you can't say that 456 00:17:31,029 --> 00:17:29,039 the mainstream ways yet 457 00:17:32,470 --> 00:17:31,039 that even i can come up with 458 00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:32,480 uh are 459 00:17:35,270 --> 00:17:34,000 wrong 460 00:17:37,350 --> 00:17:35,280 uh so 461 00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:37,360 i i don't want to give my colleagues a 462 00:17:40,230 --> 00:17:38,880 reason to point out the things that i 463 00:17:43,590 --> 00:17:40,240 already know 464 00:17:47,110 --> 00:17:43,600 are potentially an explanation 465 00:17:49,350 --> 00:17:47,120 so it's it's it's 466 00:17:51,750 --> 00:17:49,360 you know the control system is and shock 467 00:17:53,430 --> 00:17:51,760 will probably kill me for saying this 468 00:17:56,789 --> 00:17:53,440 i i is 469 00:17:59,270 --> 00:17:56,799 is almost as 470 00:18:03,270 --> 00:17:59,280 easy as claiming it's got 471 00:18:05,669 --> 00:18:03,280 right it's a uh it's a deus ex machina 472 00:18:07,830 --> 00:18:05,679 uh that we want to be careful 473 00:18:09,110 --> 00:18:07,840 where and when we 474 00:18:11,669 --> 00:18:09,120 deploy it 475 00:18:13,029 --> 00:18:11,679 to explain things that we're seeing 476 00:18:14,789 --> 00:18:13,039 does that make sense 477 00:18:16,310 --> 00:18:14,799 yes it does yeah and i'm sure it makes 478 00:18:18,070 --> 00:18:16,320 even more sense to the more intelligent 479 00:18:19,669 --> 00:18:18,080 listeners out there as well oh i'm sure 480 00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:19,679 you're fine 481 00:18:23,110 --> 00:18:21,360 you have a big forehead it must be a 482 00:18:24,549 --> 00:18:23,120 brain in there somewhere i think it's 483 00:18:26,310 --> 00:18:24,559 the bad light and then here it's the bad 484 00:18:28,630 --> 00:18:26,320 light 485 00:18:30,870 --> 00:18:28,640 gary i want to ask about you've talked 486 00:18:32,950 --> 00:18:30,880 about how we as a species have developed 487 00:18:35,110 --> 00:18:32,960 and i want to know your thoughts on and 488 00:18:37,110 --> 00:18:35,120 what another intelligent life form could 489 00:18:39,190 --> 00:18:37,120 potentially look like 490 00:18:41,190 --> 00:18:39,200 in various hollywood films you see it 491 00:18:43,110 --> 00:18:41,200 interpreted in different ways 492 00:18:45,669 --> 00:18:43,120 an arrival there's a species that 493 00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:45,679 experience time different to us and 494 00:18:50,470 --> 00:18:47,840 annihilation that the shimmer is not 495 00:18:52,230 --> 00:18:50,480 under understandable to us what do you 496 00:18:54,310 --> 00:18:52,240 think it would be likely another 497 00:18:56,789 --> 00:18:54,320 intelligent species could look like or 498 00:18:58,310 --> 00:18:56,799 are the possibilities just too infinite 499 00:19:00,630 --> 00:18:58,320 uh well i think they're in they're 500 00:19:01,669 --> 00:19:00,640 infinite i mean take any animal in our 501 00:19:04,390 --> 00:19:01,679 ocean 502 00:19:06,789 --> 00:19:04,400 uh and uh you know 503 00:19:08,310 --> 00:19:06,799 basically give it a reason for creating 504 00:19:12,230 --> 00:19:08,320 a society 505 00:19:16,150 --> 00:19:12,240 and uh or have an oral history 506 00:19:18,630 --> 00:19:16,160 uh that it can pass to its children 507 00:19:21,270 --> 00:19:18,640 um and 508 00:19:23,669 --> 00:19:21,280 you know and and so therefore time 509 00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:23,679 doesn't become a limitation in terms of 510 00:19:28,710 --> 00:19:26,720 achievement levels that can be um 511 00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:28,720 obtained attained 512 00:19:32,390 --> 00:19:30,880 uh and and you can create an 513 00:19:35,750 --> 00:19:32,400 intelligence i mean you know we all look 514 00:19:36,870 --> 00:19:35,760 at at octopuses as probably one of the 515 00:19:38,870 --> 00:19:36,880 most 516 00:19:40,789 --> 00:19:38,880 interesting next 517 00:19:42,390 --> 00:19:40,799 intelligences on the planet i mean 518 00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:42,400 obviously other than the cetaceans the 519 00:19:46,950 --> 00:19:43,760 cetaceans are 520 00:19:49,990 --> 00:19:46,960 are you know dolphins and whales are 521 00:19:53,510 --> 00:19:50,000 obviously intelligent 522 00:19:54,230 --> 00:19:53,520 elephants are intelligent uh 523 00:19:56,390 --> 00:19:54,240 the 524 00:19:57,830 --> 00:19:56,400 uh i i mean i can't even eat octopus 525 00:19:59,830 --> 00:19:57,840 anymore because 526 00:20:03,029 --> 00:19:59,840 you know of that damn movie my my 527 00:20:05,110 --> 00:20:03,039 octopus friend or whatever 528 00:20:07,750 --> 00:20:05,120 you know um 529 00:20:10,149 --> 00:20:07,760 it's uh and here you have a distributed 530 00:20:11,590 --> 00:20:10,159 nervous system in the 531 00:20:13,830 --> 00:20:11,600 in the octopus it doesn't have a central 532 00:20:16,470 --> 00:20:13,840 brain like we do it has distributed 533 00:20:19,350 --> 00:20:16,480 nervous systems so you know 534 00:20:21,029 --> 00:20:19,360 what kind of intelligence would evolve 535 00:20:23,830 --> 00:20:21,039 out of that 536 00:20:25,750 --> 00:20:23,840 something that would have what how many 537 00:20:26,549 --> 00:20:25,760 tentacles do most octopus have i don't 538 00:20:29,270 --> 00:20:26,559 know 539 00:20:31,270 --> 00:20:29,280 uh but they have basically let's say 10 540 00:20:32,470 --> 00:20:31,280 sub brains in addition to their main 541 00:20:33,270 --> 00:20:32,480 brain 542 00:20:34,950 --> 00:20:33,280 so 543 00:20:36,789 --> 00:20:34,960 you know as that 544 00:20:38,549 --> 00:20:36,799 as an intelligence like that began to 545 00:20:40,070 --> 00:20:38,559 evolve you could imagine different of 546 00:20:42,950 --> 00:20:40,080 those sub-brains taking on different 547 00:20:45,990 --> 00:20:42,960 functions like our brain has what are 548 00:20:49,430 --> 00:20:46,000 called nuclei within them those are all 549 00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:49,440 condensed regions of neural interactions 550 00:20:52,870 --> 00:20:51,520 little circuitries that carry out 551 00:20:54,390 --> 00:20:52,880 different functions one was a memory 552 00:20:56,789 --> 00:20:54,400 system another is 553 00:20:58,230 --> 00:20:56,799 fear another is computation another is 554 00:21:00,830 --> 00:20:58,240 where you think your consciousness 555 00:21:06,549 --> 00:21:03,909 um would an octopus have a distributed 556 00:21:08,310 --> 00:21:06,559 consciousness around all of those 557 00:21:09,909 --> 00:21:08,320 sub-brains 558 00:21:12,149 --> 00:21:09,919 would one of them be the subconscious 559 00:21:13,990 --> 00:21:12,159 and the other be the conscious 560 00:21:16,230 --> 00:21:14,000 you know you can i mean just reading 561 00:21:17,990 --> 00:21:16,240 science fiction and this is what i get 562 00:21:21,830 --> 00:21:18,000 my jollies out of 563 00:21:25,990 --> 00:21:21,840 is uh is where readers where writers 564 00:21:27,510 --> 00:21:26,000 like larry niven or or david brin or um 565 00:21:31,110 --> 00:21:27,520 verner divinge 566 00:21:34,549 --> 00:21:31,120 uh they start with an evolutionary 567 00:21:36,549 --> 00:21:34,559 assumption about an animal that is 568 00:21:39,830 --> 00:21:36,559 becoming intelligent 569 00:21:41,990 --> 00:21:39,840 uh and then they take it to the extreme 570 00:21:45,350 --> 00:21:42,000 of what the civilizational principles 571 00:21:47,510 --> 00:21:45,360 would be for that animal 572 00:21:48,950 --> 00:21:47,520 right still began life as an animal and 573 00:21:52,789 --> 00:21:48,960 a lot of these books 574 00:21:56,070 --> 00:21:52,799 are all about the conflict between 575 00:21:59,830 --> 00:21:56,080 what intelligence demands versus what 576 00:22:02,070 --> 00:21:59,840 the evolutionary background limits 577 00:22:05,029 --> 00:22:02,080 like our evolutionary background limits 578 00:22:06,789 --> 00:22:05,039 us to certain kinds of monkey behaviors 579 00:22:09,350 --> 00:22:06,799 and certain kinds of 580 00:22:11,909 --> 00:22:09,360 tribal interactions 581 00:22:13,270 --> 00:22:11,919 you know the in larry niven's books the 582 00:22:15,350 --> 00:22:13,280 puppeteers 583 00:22:16,870 --> 00:22:15,360 are derived from 584 00:22:22,070 --> 00:22:16,880 a herd animal 585 00:22:24,310 --> 00:22:22,080 his cases they lead from behind so 586 00:22:27,430 --> 00:22:24,320 cowardice is the moral principle run 587 00:22:28,950 --> 00:22:27,440 away first don't fight 588 00:22:30,230 --> 00:22:28,960 uh and yet 589 00:22:31,990 --> 00:22:30,240 you know he writes about how they 590 00:22:33,750 --> 00:22:32,000 achieved intelligence a million years 591 00:22:35,590 --> 00:22:33,760 ahead of humans 592 00:22:39,270 --> 00:22:35,600 uh and they're you know they're pretty 593 00:22:41,270 --> 00:22:39,280 manipulative machiavellian characters 594 00:22:43,669 --> 00:22:41,280 i'm glad you mentioned the oceans and 595 00:22:47,110 --> 00:22:43,679 talking about octopus and 596 00:22:49,110 --> 00:22:47,120 there are a lot of discussions about uap 597 00:22:51,909 --> 00:22:49,120 and potential craft 598 00:22:54,149 --> 00:22:51,919 either being from our oceans or at least 599 00:22:56,789 --> 00:22:54,159 using them as a place to hide the now 600 00:22:58,789 --> 00:22:56,799 infamous tic-tac events 2004 the objects 601 00:23:01,110 --> 00:22:58,799 were seen going in and out of the water 602 00:23:03,350 --> 00:23:01,120 and we've heard more recently in 2019 603 00:23:05,750 --> 00:23:03,360 again objects being found going into the 604 00:23:07,270 --> 00:23:05,760 water and disappearing or at least not 605 00:23:09,110 --> 00:23:07,280 being found 606 00:23:11,669 --> 00:23:09,120 what do you think the chances are that 607 00:23:13,750 --> 00:23:11,679 given life began within the oceans that 608 00:23:16,390 --> 00:23:13,760 something else could have evolved ahead 609 00:23:18,870 --> 00:23:16,400 of us as a species and potentially be 610 00:23:21,350 --> 00:23:18,880 the occupants of potential craft that we 611 00:23:23,590 --> 00:23:21,360 now see in our skies 612 00:23:25,510 --> 00:23:23,600 i have no problem with that you know i i 613 00:23:28,230 --> 00:23:25,520 don't think they have to have i mean we 614 00:23:30,549 --> 00:23:28,240 evolved originally in the oceans um i 615 00:23:32,390 --> 00:23:30,559 don't think they had to have had uh an 616 00:23:33,909 --> 00:23:32,400 evolutionary start 617 00:23:35,830 --> 00:23:33,919 uh or 618 00:23:38,230 --> 00:23:35,840 they didn't need to achieve a 619 00:23:40,310 --> 00:23:38,240 civilization that was under water 620 00:23:41,669 --> 00:23:40,320 that could have been on land and then 621 00:23:43,830 --> 00:23:41,679 they decided 622 00:23:45,909 --> 00:23:43,840 well you know why do we need the surface 623 00:23:48,630 --> 00:23:45,919 there we can create a hundred 624 00:23:50,630 --> 00:23:48,640 earths you know every you know every 625 00:23:52,230 --> 00:23:50,640 five miles under the earth we could 626 00:23:55,350 --> 00:23:52,240 create caverns 627 00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:55,360 and live down there create our own light 628 00:23:59,430 --> 00:23:57,200 there's plenty of energy you know in the 629 00:24:01,110 --> 00:23:59,440 molten core that we could take advantage 630 00:24:03,750 --> 00:24:01,120 of and never have to see the surface 631 00:24:06,549 --> 00:24:03,760 again we'll leave the surface to 632 00:24:08,789 --> 00:24:06,559 you know to uh the animals and let 633 00:24:10,710 --> 00:24:08,799 something else evolve 634 00:24:13,510 --> 00:24:10,720 you know david bryn's books are 635 00:24:15,350 --> 00:24:13,520 fascinating because 636 00:24:16,390 --> 00:24:15,360 he actually takes a more interventional 637 00:24:20,470 --> 00:24:16,400 approach 638 00:24:22,710 --> 00:24:20,480 where uh the species around the galaxies 639 00:24:24,789 --> 00:24:22,720 will search out new planets where 640 00:24:27,190 --> 00:24:24,799 there's a sub-sentient 641 00:24:29,110 --> 00:24:27,200 uh species 642 00:24:30,310 --> 00:24:29,120 almost ready to be 643 00:24:31,350 --> 00:24:30,320 ascended 644 00:24:33,510 --> 00:24:31,360 and 645 00:24:37,430 --> 00:24:33,520 they will then claim that planet 646 00:24:40,470 --> 00:24:37,440 ascend the species uh and they would put 647 00:24:42,549 --> 00:24:40,480 the species under servitude for you know 648 00:24:44,070 --> 00:24:42,559 half a million years uh but then they 649 00:24:45,430 --> 00:24:44,080 become part of a clan and then it's all 650 00:24:47,190 --> 00:24:45,440 about the clans interacting with other 651 00:24:48,950 --> 00:24:47,200 clans and the whole objective is to 652 00:24:49,990 --> 00:24:48,960 collect as many species as you can to 653 00:24:52,950 --> 00:24:50,000 make your 654 00:24:55,190 --> 00:24:52,960 tribe of species larger 655 00:24:58,149 --> 00:24:55,200 right and but again each of those 656 00:24:59,350 --> 00:24:58,159 species is limited by their evolutionary 657 00:25:01,430 --> 00:24:59,360 past 658 00:25:03,990 --> 00:25:01,440 and it's used to predict and so i i just 659 00:25:06,149 --> 00:25:04,000 find that a fascinating approach and 660 00:25:08,630 --> 00:25:06,159 it's in many ways prepared me 661 00:25:10,230 --> 00:25:08,640 to be very open-minded about what it is 662 00:25:13,350 --> 00:25:10,240 we might be dealing with today in the 663 00:25:14,789 --> 00:25:13,360 uaps that are being seen 664 00:25:16,789 --> 00:25:14,799 to take that a step further we're 665 00:25:19,190 --> 00:25:16,799 talking about the oceans the skies and 666 00:25:21,029 --> 00:25:19,200 obviously the land as well however given 667 00:25:23,590 --> 00:25:21,039 the breadth of the electromagnetic 668 00:25:25,750 --> 00:25:23,600 spectrum what do you think of that about 669 00:25:28,230 --> 00:25:25,760 the idea of life being present in other 670 00:25:30,470 --> 00:25:28,240 parts of it but unable to interact with 671 00:25:33,590 --> 00:25:30,480 us and is it possible something could 672 00:25:34,950 --> 00:25:33,600 see us whilst we simply can't see them 673 00:25:37,190 --> 00:25:34,960 yeah i mean 674 00:25:40,549 --> 00:25:37,200 you know i mean this gets into 675 00:25:42,149 --> 00:25:40,559 realms of physics where people 676 00:25:44,230 --> 00:25:42,159 you know like to talk about things like 677 00:25:45,990 --> 00:25:44,240 multiverses and all the rest i mean it's 678 00:25:46,870 --> 00:25:46,000 part of the zeitgeist 679 00:25:48,630 --> 00:25:46,880 with 680 00:25:50,789 --> 00:25:48,640 the the multiverse there's like two or 681 00:25:53,430 --> 00:25:50,799 three big multiverse movies out right 682 00:25:56,950 --> 00:25:53,440 now yeah um two from marvel and the 683 00:26:01,269 --> 00:25:56,960 other i forget the name of the woman the 684 00:26:04,149 --> 00:26:01,279 asian woman uh who is in another uh 685 00:26:06,789 --> 00:26:04,159 another great movie um 686 00:26:08,710 --> 00:26:06,799 so yes if there are 687 00:26:11,269 --> 00:26:08,720 levels of existence 688 00:26:13,990 --> 00:26:11,279 that are next to us 689 00:26:14,950 --> 00:26:14,000 but not accessible to us 690 00:26:17,269 --> 00:26:14,960 but 691 00:26:19,029 --> 00:26:17,279 it's sort of like a one-way mirror 692 00:26:20,230 --> 00:26:19,039 you know we don't see them but they see 693 00:26:23,190 --> 00:26:20,240 us 694 00:26:25,350 --> 00:26:23,200 uh and they can step into our reality or 695 00:26:28,149 --> 00:26:25,360 reach into our reality 696 00:26:30,230 --> 00:26:28,159 um you know if if you could reach into a 697 00:26:33,110 --> 00:26:30,240 nearby reality just by 698 00:26:34,950 --> 00:26:33,120 force of you know force of will 699 00:26:37,029 --> 00:26:34,960 uh and 700 00:26:40,149 --> 00:26:37,039 manipulate things that are there would 701 00:26:40,870 --> 00:26:40,159 you maybe i mean 702 00:27:04,950 --> 00:26:40,880 i 703 00:27:06,950 --> 00:27:04,960 really strange technology poke prod and 704 00:27:09,830 --> 00:27:06,960 then throw it back and it's got striking 705 00:27:11,750 --> 00:27:09,840 similarities to alien abductions and and 706 00:27:13,350 --> 00:27:11,760 what may happen with another intelligent 707 00:27:15,269 --> 00:27:13,360 species looking at us 708 00:27:16,630 --> 00:27:15,279 in the same way as a fish would that be 709 00:27:17,590 --> 00:27:16,640 fair 710 00:27:19,750 --> 00:27:17,600 oh yeah 711 00:27:20,950 --> 00:27:19,760 for sure i mean 712 00:27:22,630 --> 00:27:20,960 you know that's kind of the zoo 713 00:27:23,510 --> 00:27:22,640 hypothesis 714 00:27:26,149 --> 00:27:23,520 that 715 00:27:28,710 --> 00:27:26,159 we're we're basically 716 00:27:29,669 --> 00:27:28,720 somebody's not if not property 717 00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:29,679 we're 718 00:27:34,470 --> 00:27:33,120 not considered equal ethically 719 00:27:36,710 --> 00:27:34,480 to them 720 00:27:40,070 --> 00:27:36,720 whatever their ethics might be 721 00:27:41,830 --> 00:27:40,080 um but you know it also might be in from 722 00:27:42,630 --> 00:27:41,840 their point of view 723 00:27:44,070 --> 00:27:42,640 uh 724 00:27:46,149 --> 00:27:44,080 to our benefit 725 00:27:47,669 --> 00:27:46,159 to what it is that they're doing 726 00:27:49,350 --> 00:27:47,679 to us or with us 727 00:27:51,510 --> 00:27:49,360 you know maybe they're you know this 728 00:27:53,909 --> 00:27:51,520 whole idea that we were somehow 729 00:27:56,470 --> 00:27:53,919 manipulated 70 000 years ago which again 730 00:27:58,710 --> 00:27:56,480 i i i i question 731 00:28:01,269 --> 00:27:58,720 severely that conclusion 732 00:28:02,710 --> 00:28:01,279 um but if you say that that's what might 733 00:28:04,789 --> 00:28:02,720 have happened 734 00:28:07,110 --> 00:28:04,799 um then 735 00:28:08,950 --> 00:28:07,120 the manipulation 736 00:28:12,549 --> 00:28:08,960 presumably accelerated something that 737 00:28:16,230 --> 00:28:13,990 and if 738 00:28:18,310 --> 00:28:16,240 what is of interest to them was to get 739 00:28:19,430 --> 00:28:18,320 us to a higher level of intelligence 740 00:28:21,510 --> 00:28:19,440 faster 741 00:28:24,230 --> 00:28:21,520 you then have to ask what's the agenda 742 00:28:26,710 --> 00:28:24,240 are they looking for equal partners 743 00:28:30,149 --> 00:28:26,720 or are they looking for something that 744 00:28:31,909 --> 00:28:30,159 can be used 745 00:28:35,430 --> 00:28:31,919 movie you mentioned that was everything 746 00:28:37,190 --> 00:28:35,440 everywhere all at once i believe 747 00:28:38,470 --> 00:28:37,200 just in case any movie fans are thinking 748 00:28:39,830 --> 00:28:38,480 oh i've got another couple of movies i 749 00:28:41,990 --> 00:28:39,840 can watch that's that's the one i 750 00:28:44,230 --> 00:28:42,000 haven't seen it yet but i i've heard 751 00:28:45,909 --> 00:28:44,240 great things about it me neither but i 752 00:28:47,190 --> 00:28:45,919 know dan has and it was dan that threw 753 00:28:50,149 --> 00:28:47,200 up the name of it in the background 754 00:28:51,830 --> 00:28:50,159 there um you mentioned manipulation and 755 00:28:53,669 --> 00:28:51,840 and something you talked about that that 756 00:28:56,630 --> 00:28:53,679 got me thinking on the lex friedman 757 00:28:59,990 --> 00:28:56,640 podcast was about the basal ganglia that 758 00:29:02,470 --> 00:29:00,000 part of the brain and you talked about 759 00:29:04,070 --> 00:29:02,480 its potential for 760 00:29:05,510 --> 00:29:04,080 higher intuition 761 00:29:07,990 --> 00:29:05,520 and processing 762 00:29:10,789 --> 00:29:08,000 and well you disagreed that it could 763 00:29:12,870 --> 00:29:10,799 potentially be used to you know 764 00:29:15,350 --> 00:29:12,880 was it to do with abductions or 765 00:29:17,269 --> 00:29:15,360 manipulation of other alien species not 766 00:29:20,710 --> 00:29:17,279 quite that 767 00:29:23,669 --> 00:29:20,720 well yeah i mean i i i have to apologize 768 00:29:25,909 --> 00:29:23,679 if anything that i kind of overstated 769 00:29:28,149 --> 00:29:25,919 at one point i said the ufo community 770 00:29:29,430 --> 00:29:28,159 misinterpreted or went too far 771 00:29:31,590 --> 00:29:29,440 um well 772 00:29:33,830 --> 00:29:31,600 i was the one who gave them the raw 773 00:29:37,190 --> 00:29:33,840 material to go too far i mean 774 00:29:39,510 --> 00:29:37,200 uh so i can't blame anybody but myself 775 00:29:42,070 --> 00:29:39,520 uh but i mean the 776 00:29:44,630 --> 00:29:42,080 the idea was this was sort of a side 777 00:29:46,870 --> 00:29:44,640 observation to the damage that we were 778 00:29:48,710 --> 00:29:46,880 seeing in some of these patients that 779 00:29:50,549 --> 00:29:48,720 kit green had 780 00:29:51,590 --> 00:29:50,559 most of whom we now know 781 00:29:53,430 --> 00:29:51,600 are 782 00:29:55,190 --> 00:29:53,440 essentially havana syndrome but there's 783 00:29:57,830 --> 00:29:55,200 a subset that we're not 784 00:29:59,750 --> 00:29:57,840 uh and cannot be explained by any kind 785 00:30:01,590 --> 00:29:59,760 of havana syndrome and there was clearly 786 00:30:02,950 --> 00:30:01,600 some kind of interaction with something 787 00:30:03,750 --> 00:30:02,960 unusual 788 00:30:04,470 --> 00:30:03,760 um 789 00:30:06,630 --> 00:30:04,480 but 790 00:30:09,029 --> 00:30:06,640 it was that the side observation was 791 00:30:12,630 --> 00:30:09,039 that there was this uh compaction of 792 00:30:14,870 --> 00:30:12,640 neural density between these two nuclei 793 00:30:16,470 --> 00:30:14,880 of the brain the head of the caudate and 794 00:30:19,269 --> 00:30:16,480 the putamen which is part of the basal 795 00:30:20,470 --> 00:30:19,279 ganglia it was it's that central core 796 00:30:21,510 --> 00:30:20,480 um 797 00:30:23,350 --> 00:30:21,520 that were 798 00:30:24,870 --> 00:30:23,360 we found in what we called high 799 00:30:27,190 --> 00:30:24,880 functioning individuals 800 00:30:29,430 --> 00:30:27,200 smart people right and you just you can 801 00:30:31,510 --> 00:30:29,440 define smart in many different ways it 802 00:30:33,830 --> 00:30:31,520 is not just you're good at math or 803 00:30:36,710 --> 00:30:33,840 you're good at science you can be good 804 00:30:39,269 --> 00:30:36,720 at a lot of things and be still smart 805 00:30:42,950 --> 00:30:39,279 um but it's about integration of 806 00:30:44,789 --> 00:30:42,960 information right so inter intuition is 807 00:30:47,110 --> 00:30:44,799 at the heart of things 808 00:30:51,590 --> 00:30:47,120 an unconscious 809 00:30:54,230 --> 00:30:51,600 uh conclusion that you make that was not 810 00:30:56,870 --> 00:30:54,240 i drew it out one plus one equals two 811 00:30:59,590 --> 00:30:56,880 two times five equals ten you know i 812 00:31:01,269 --> 00:30:59,600 drew out some proof of what it is this 813 00:31:05,029 --> 00:31:01,279 is this leap 814 00:31:07,830 --> 00:31:05,039 that occurs uh that still puzzles 815 00:31:09,750 --> 00:31:07,840 neurological scientists about how these 816 00:31:11,590 --> 00:31:09,760 leaps are made 817 00:31:13,430 --> 00:31:11,600 where is the information if you want to 818 00:31:15,430 --> 00:31:13,440 be purely materialistic where is the 819 00:31:19,350 --> 00:31:15,440 information process that allows for that 820 00:31:21,190 --> 00:31:19,360 to occur like a an autistic savant who 821 00:31:23,110 --> 00:31:21,200 you can ask them what the square root of 822 00:31:24,710 --> 00:31:23,120 some giant prime number is times 823 00:31:26,310 --> 00:31:24,720 whatever and they can instantly spit out 824 00:31:28,149 --> 00:31:26,320 the answer 825 00:31:29,350 --> 00:31:28,159 where did that come from how did they 826 00:31:32,549 --> 00:31:29,360 compute that 827 00:31:34,789 --> 00:31:32,559 um materialists would like to say 828 00:31:36,789 --> 00:31:34,799 it was somehow computed in the brain 829 00:31:38,950 --> 00:31:36,799 uh others would say that they reached 830 00:31:41,350 --> 00:31:38,960 into the akashic record and pulled the 831 00:31:43,990 --> 00:31:41,360 information from the akashic record 832 00:31:46,070 --> 00:31:44,000 right some sort of or that they foretold 833 00:31:47,750 --> 00:31:46,080 the answer through some sort of time 834 00:31:48,630 --> 00:31:47,760 space leap 835 00:31:50,549 --> 00:31:48,640 um 836 00:31:53,590 --> 00:31:50,559 you know i'm i'm 837 00:31:55,590 --> 00:31:53,600 open to both of those things but what it 838 00:31:57,669 --> 00:31:55,600 is a hundred percent clear 839 00:32:00,230 --> 00:31:57,679 and we've now done a study with a group 840 00:32:02,789 --> 00:32:00,240 at harvard who are neuroscientists it's 841 00:32:04,549 --> 00:32:02,799 a hundred percent clear that kits and my 842 00:32:08,149 --> 00:32:04,559 original observation about this being 843 00:32:10,149 --> 00:32:08,159 involved in intuition is 100 correct 844 00:32:12,870 --> 00:32:10,159 right so we intuited 845 00:32:14,470 --> 00:32:12,880 that this was the area of intuition 846 00:32:16,149 --> 00:32:14,480 at pretty much the same time as we were 847 00:32:17,590 --> 00:32:16,159 doing it papers were already coming out 848 00:32:19,669 --> 00:32:17,600 in the mainstream literature and we that 849 00:32:22,310 --> 00:32:19,679 we were unaware of 850 00:32:25,990 --> 00:32:22,320 but you know ideas are often in the air 851 00:32:30,230 --> 00:32:26,000 uh that the caudate especially 852 00:32:31,509 --> 00:32:30,240 uh is a center of let's call it logic 853 00:32:33,350 --> 00:32:31,519 processing 854 00:32:34,950 --> 00:32:33,360 um and so what 855 00:32:37,990 --> 00:32:34,960 i have been saying 856 00:32:42,470 --> 00:32:38,000 is that if information 857 00:32:43,990 --> 00:32:42,480 can come through some anomalous channel 858 00:32:45,590 --> 00:32:44,000 right and by that i'm not trying to hide 859 00:32:47,990 --> 00:32:45,600 anything i'm really talking about some 860 00:32:49,190 --> 00:32:48,000 sort of psychic power 861 00:32:53,269 --> 00:32:49,200 um 862 00:32:56,710 --> 00:32:53,279 some sort of psychic ability uh it will 863 00:32:58,070 --> 00:32:56,720 perforce be processed through this 864 00:33:01,509 --> 00:32:58,080 region 865 00:33:03,990 --> 00:33:01,519 and if information is to be laid onto 866 00:33:06,950 --> 00:33:04,000 human consciousness 867 00:33:10,870 --> 00:33:06,960 in our brain it's going to come through 868 00:33:12,230 --> 00:33:10,880 one of the at least five known 869 00:33:13,750 --> 00:33:12,240 mainstream 870 00:33:14,950 --> 00:33:13,760 senses 871 00:33:16,630 --> 00:33:14,960 and so 872 00:33:19,110 --> 00:33:16,640 different people with different 873 00:33:20,710 --> 00:33:19,120 capabilities let's say emotional 874 00:33:22,789 --> 00:33:20,720 intelligence or 875 00:33:25,029 --> 00:33:22,799 uh visual or 876 00:33:26,470 --> 00:33:25,039 sensory or whatever 877 00:33:28,310 --> 00:33:26,480 the information can be layered in 878 00:33:30,630 --> 00:33:28,320 different ways and then will be 879 00:33:33,110 --> 00:33:30,640 interpreted through those channels 880 00:33:35,909 --> 00:33:33,120 but it's it's being layered into that so 881 00:33:37,350 --> 00:33:35,919 i use the example of of that guy tyler 882 00:33:39,110 --> 00:33:37,360 henry 883 00:33:42,549 --> 00:33:39,120 there's a television show that he's he 884 00:33:45,110 --> 00:33:42,559 has he's a medium i mean 885 00:33:47,509 --> 00:33:45,120 i listen to him and watch him 886 00:33:49,269 --> 00:33:47,519 uh as he's 887 00:33:50,470 --> 00:33:49,279 giving these readings 888 00:33:52,070 --> 00:33:50,480 and i'm wondering 889 00:33:53,990 --> 00:33:52,080 and he says i see this and there and 890 00:33:55,990 --> 00:33:54,000 there's telling me that and and i'm 891 00:33:58,389 --> 00:33:56,000 wondering how 892 00:34:00,149 --> 00:33:58,399 what's going on inside of his head 893 00:34:01,590 --> 00:34:00,159 that's allowing him to come to these 894 00:34:04,470 --> 00:34:01,600 conclusions 895 00:34:06,549 --> 00:34:04,480 and where's the information coming from 896 00:34:09,270 --> 00:34:06,559 and how is it being how is that 897 00:34:11,190 --> 00:34:09,280 information being interpreted 898 00:34:12,389 --> 00:34:11,200 in the brain i mean i'd love to sit down 899 00:34:14,230 --> 00:34:12,399 and have a conversation with him he and 900 00:34:17,270 --> 00:34:14,240 i have had a couple of quick back 901 00:34:19,430 --> 00:34:17,280 channel discussions um on twitter but 902 00:34:20,550 --> 00:34:19,440 he's a he's i mean if i'm busy he seems 903 00:34:21,829 --> 00:34:20,560 a thousand times busier because 904 00:34:22,950 --> 00:34:21,839 everybody and their brother wants a 905 00:34:25,589 --> 00:34:22,960 reading 906 00:34:27,510 --> 00:34:25,599 um you know so uh 907 00:34:30,069 --> 00:34:27,520 but 908 00:34:31,909 --> 00:34:30,079 that's the question i want to get from 909 00:34:33,430 --> 00:34:31,919 some of these mediums is what is it that 910 00:34:36,470 --> 00:34:33,440 they see 911 00:34:39,430 --> 00:34:36,480 and and what is the feeling of the sense 912 00:34:41,270 --> 00:34:39,440 i mean when i get an intuitive flash 913 00:34:43,669 --> 00:34:41,280 about something and i'm not a medium or 914 00:34:44,790 --> 00:34:43,679 a remote viewer or anything like that 915 00:34:48,310 --> 00:34:44,800 um 916 00:34:49,829 --> 00:34:48,320 i say that it to me it has a specific 917 00:34:52,230 --> 00:34:49,839 color or a 918 00:34:53,430 --> 00:34:52,240 flavor that's different than other ideas 919 00:34:55,669 --> 00:34:53,440 that arrive 920 00:34:57,430 --> 00:34:55,679 i mean i and i've started to train 921 00:34:58,390 --> 00:34:57,440 myself to say ah 922 00:35:46,710 --> 00:34:58,400 i 923 00:35:48,710 --> 00:35:46,720 have to to have such an advanced 924 00:35:51,190 --> 00:35:48,720 knowledge of you know us and the 925 00:35:53,430 --> 00:35:51,200 universe to to create dna and and 926 00:35:55,589 --> 00:35:53,440 manipulate it like they apparently or 927 00:35:58,310 --> 00:35:55,599 could do is there a chance that a 928 00:36:00,710 --> 00:35:58,320 species like that could wirelessly tap 929 00:36:03,270 --> 00:36:00,720 into some of these parts of the brain to 930 00:36:05,510 --> 00:36:03,280 manipulate what people see and this 931 00:36:07,910 --> 00:36:05,520 could be a reason why people can see the 932 00:36:10,710 --> 00:36:07,920 same sighting for example of a ufo or a 933 00:36:12,069 --> 00:36:10,720 uap but describe different effects 934 00:36:13,430 --> 00:36:12,079 because they're receiving it in a 935 00:36:16,390 --> 00:36:13,440 different way yeah 936 00:36:19,750 --> 00:36:16,400 exactly i mean i use the term telefactor 937 00:36:22,230 --> 00:36:19,760 in the information you know 938 00:36:23,430 --> 00:36:22,240 again mainstream science 939 00:36:24,870 --> 00:36:23,440 you can 940 00:36:28,470 --> 00:36:24,880 now put 941 00:36:31,109 --> 00:36:28,480 a receiver or even a transmitter onto 942 00:36:33,349 --> 00:36:31,119 people's heads and you can start to make 943 00:36:35,589 --> 00:36:33,359 them see or hear things 944 00:36:37,910 --> 00:36:35,599 uh that they wouldn't uh 945 00:36:41,270 --> 00:36:37,920 be able to i mean through electronic 946 00:36:42,950 --> 00:36:41,280 means right transcranial stimulation etc 947 00:36:45,109 --> 00:36:42,960 or or read 948 00:36:48,390 --> 00:36:45,119 uh what people's thoughts 949 00:36:49,829 --> 00:36:48,400 right i mean it's very crude it's not 950 00:36:51,990 --> 00:36:49,839 movie level 951 00:36:55,510 --> 00:36:52,000 you know i'm i'm i'm reading your 952 00:36:57,910 --> 00:36:55,520 innermost desires but 953 00:37:01,109 --> 00:36:57,920 i mean even with our crude technology it 954 00:37:02,870 --> 00:37:01,119 can be done so again imagine 955 00:37:05,430 --> 00:37:02,880 something a little bit more advanced or 956 00:37:07,910 --> 00:37:05,440 a lot more advanced than us i see no 957 00:37:09,990 --> 00:37:07,920 reason why it couldn't reach into our 958 00:37:12,470 --> 00:37:10,000 brains and make us think things 959 00:37:14,710 --> 00:37:12,480 and transmit information a thousand 960 00:37:16,550 --> 00:37:14,720 years from now assuming we don't 961 00:37:17,589 --> 00:37:16,560 you know walk off the edge of a cliff 962 00:37:19,030 --> 00:37:17,599 somewhere 963 00:37:20,310 --> 00:37:19,040 culturally 964 00:37:23,270 --> 00:37:20,320 i would see us being able to do 965 00:37:25,270 --> 00:37:23,280 something like that ourselves 966 00:37:27,430 --> 00:37:25,280 it reminds me a little i've spoken about 967 00:37:29,109 --> 00:37:27,440 the sighting i had as a child where me 968 00:37:30,790 --> 00:37:29,119 and and four other people including my 969 00:37:33,190 --> 00:37:30,800 mum who has no interest in the ufo 970 00:37:35,430 --> 00:37:33,200 subject so pretty much a ferris wheel 971 00:37:38,069 --> 00:37:35,440 size object on its side not far off the 972 00:37:40,550 --> 00:37:38,079 ground spinning at an incredible speed 973 00:37:42,630 --> 00:37:40,560 it certainly wasn't a ferris wheel um 974 00:37:45,349 --> 00:37:42,640 but it was in a very built up area a lot 975 00:37:47,190 --> 00:37:45,359 of cars very highly populated and i 976 00:37:49,670 --> 00:37:47,200 wonder is it something in those 977 00:37:51,750 --> 00:37:49,680 experiences where certain people can see 978 00:37:53,430 --> 00:37:51,760 it at a certain time for for a 979 00:37:55,829 --> 00:37:53,440 particular reason and that's always 980 00:37:57,910 --> 00:37:55,839 stuck with me that maybe a group of us 981 00:37:59,910 --> 00:37:57,920 at a distance about a mile away could 982 00:38:01,190 --> 00:37:59,920 see this object but maybe people closer 983 00:38:02,950 --> 00:38:01,200 to it couldn't 984 00:38:04,710 --> 00:38:02,960 and it reminds me there's a youtube 985 00:38:06,870 --> 00:38:04,720 video and it's i had to google it but 986 00:38:09,109 --> 00:38:06,880 it's the selective attention test from 987 00:38:10,470 --> 00:38:09,119 simons and chabris where you're asked to 988 00:38:12,790 --> 00:38:10,480 count how many times a group of 989 00:38:14,790 --> 00:38:12,800 individuals pass a basketball between 990 00:38:16,790 --> 00:38:14,800 each other and you're so caught up in 991 00:38:18,710 --> 00:38:16,800 counting a lot of people don't notice 992 00:38:20,310 --> 00:38:18,720 that someone in a gorilla costume walks 993 00:38:21,990 --> 00:38:20,320 through the middle of the group 994 00:38:23,750 --> 00:38:22,000 and walks out a frame and it's only 995 00:38:25,750 --> 00:38:23,760 afterwards when you're told did anyone 996 00:38:28,310 --> 00:38:25,760 see the gorilla where two people in a 997 00:38:30,310 --> 00:38:28,320 group of ten say yes yet the gorilla was 998 00:38:31,990 --> 00:38:30,320 there just only 999 00:38:33,670 --> 00:38:32,000 so such a small percentage of the group 1000 00:38:36,310 --> 00:38:33,680 pay attention to see it 1001 00:38:39,030 --> 00:38:36,320 yeah i failed that test uh i remember 1002 00:38:40,870 --> 00:38:39,040 back and i i actually couldn't believe 1003 00:38:41,750 --> 00:38:40,880 i thought i was being tricked 1004 00:38:42,470 --> 00:38:41,760 um 1005 00:38:44,150 --> 00:38:42,480 so 1006 00:38:45,670 --> 00:38:44,160 uh 1007 00:38:47,750 --> 00:38:45,680 i think that that's 1008 00:38:49,750 --> 00:38:47,760 even without 1009 00:38:52,310 --> 00:38:49,760 any kind of paranormal 1010 00:38:57,829 --> 00:38:54,950 lots of people will look at something 1011 00:38:59,510 --> 00:38:57,839 and just it doesn't fit into their 1012 00:39:01,270 --> 00:38:59,520 context of what they're thinking about 1013 00:39:03,349 --> 00:39:01,280 today for instance and so they have 1014 00:39:05,349 --> 00:39:03,359 their mind on something else let's say 1015 00:39:07,589 --> 00:39:05,359 and so they see it and it just doesn't 1016 00:39:10,310 --> 00:39:07,599 matter and they they move on and then 1017 00:39:12,630 --> 00:39:10,320 there are you know i used the example 1018 00:39:14,550 --> 00:39:12,640 and this has been talked about a lot 1019 00:39:17,430 --> 00:39:14,560 of when the first of the 1020 00:39:20,870 --> 00:39:17,440 uh of you know the explorers 1021 00:39:21,750 --> 00:39:20,880 uh or conquerors showed up uh in the new 1022 00:39:25,030 --> 00:39:21,760 world 1023 00:39:27,190 --> 00:39:25,040 and a lot of the indians uh and the 1024 00:39:28,710 --> 00:39:27,200 mayans or the incas or whoever at the 1025 00:39:30,950 --> 00:39:28,720 time 1026 00:39:32,790 --> 00:39:30,960 didn't recognize the ships for what they 1027 00:39:35,510 --> 00:39:32,800 were 1028 00:39:37,510 --> 00:39:35,520 they saw these objects and then they but 1029 00:39:39,510 --> 00:39:37,520 they didn't realize that their world was 1030 00:39:41,510 --> 00:39:39,520 about to change and they just went about 1031 00:39:43,510 --> 00:39:41,520 their their until somebody came off 1032 00:39:45,990 --> 00:39:43,520 those ships and and 1033 00:39:48,950 --> 00:39:46,000 walked up and said by the way we we 1034 00:39:49,829 --> 00:39:48,960 claim you for the queen 1035 00:39:51,589 --> 00:39:49,839 right 1036 00:39:53,589 --> 00:39:51,599 so um 1037 00:39:55,910 --> 00:39:53,599 i i think that there's a quite a bit of 1038 00:39:58,710 --> 00:39:55,920 that going on now if you're talking 1039 00:39:59,990 --> 00:39:58,720 about tele-factored information 1040 00:40:01,190 --> 00:40:00,000 you could either it could either be 1041 00:40:03,190 --> 00:40:01,200 directed 1042 00:40:06,309 --> 00:40:03,200 or it could be broadcast 1043 00:40:07,589 --> 00:40:06,319 and if you don't have the right receiver 1044 00:40:10,230 --> 00:40:07,599 then you're just not going to see it and 1045 00:40:11,270 --> 00:40:10,240 if you're not at the right level of you 1046 00:40:12,710 --> 00:40:11,280 know the 1047 00:40:15,430 --> 00:40:12,720 this is something different that i 1048 00:40:19,030 --> 00:40:15,440 should pay attention to 1049 00:40:21,349 --> 00:40:19,040 uh then you'll just go about your day 1050 00:40:24,470 --> 00:40:21,359 right and so in a in a way it's a in a 1051 00:40:25,670 --> 00:40:24,480 way it's a test or it's a screen or it's 1052 00:40:27,270 --> 00:40:25,680 a filter 1053 00:40:29,670 --> 00:40:27,280 for those who can see it for what it is 1054 00:40:31,990 --> 00:40:29,680 and realize what it is and 1055 00:40:33,829 --> 00:40:32,000 jumping back to jacques control 1056 00:40:36,829 --> 00:40:33,839 hypothesis 1057 00:40:39,589 --> 00:40:36,839 it will control those who are capable of 1058 00:40:40,790 --> 00:40:39,599 seeing now whether i'm not saying seeing 1059 00:40:42,470 --> 00:40:40,800 is a good thing 1060 00:40:44,230 --> 00:40:42,480 right it doesn't mean that you're better 1061 00:40:46,790 --> 00:40:44,240 it just means 1062 00:40:48,470 --> 00:40:46,800 you're seeing it 1063 00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:48,480 of course one of those 1064 00:40:52,309 --> 00:40:50,160 one of those famous events that you've 1065 00:40:54,390 --> 00:40:52,319 talked about is the aerial school event 1066 00:40:56,950 --> 00:40:54,400 which happened in the mid-90s in 1067 00:40:58,550 --> 00:40:56,960 zimbabwe and as we record this we're 1068 00:41:00,630 --> 00:40:58,560 about a week away from the release of 1069 00:41:02,390 --> 00:41:00,640 the aerial skill phenomenon documentary 1070 00:41:04,870 --> 00:41:02,400 which i've been fortunate to see a copy 1071 00:41:07,109 --> 00:41:04,880 of and it's very very good very thorough 1072 00:41:09,670 --> 00:41:07,119 and it follows the the story of those 1073 00:41:12,150 --> 00:41:09,680 children into their adulthood as well 1074 00:41:15,270 --> 00:41:12,160 and many of those children grew up to 1075 00:41:17,270 --> 00:41:15,280 have very um be very altruistic after 1076 00:41:19,670 --> 00:41:17,280 those experiences and they go into 1077 00:41:21,750 --> 00:41:19,680 careers that reflect this as has that 1078 00:41:24,550 --> 00:41:21,760 held true in your experience and with 1079 00:41:25,990 --> 00:41:24,560 the people you've spoken to as well 1080 00:41:29,030 --> 00:41:26,000 well i 1081 00:41:31,109 --> 00:41:29,040 was fascinated when i first saw that uh 1082 00:41:32,550 --> 00:41:31,119 video the some of the earlier ones that 1083 00:41:36,069 --> 00:41:32,560 were on youtube 1084 00:41:37,510 --> 00:41:36,079 you know back as far as 2010 2011 and it 1085 00:41:40,309 --> 00:41:37,520 always struck me 1086 00:41:41,349 --> 00:41:40,319 as probably the most impressive 1087 00:41:42,790 --> 00:41:41,359 uh 1088 00:41:44,950 --> 00:41:42,800 proof 1089 00:41:48,150 --> 00:41:44,960 that something was happening right that 1090 00:41:49,589 --> 00:41:48,160 you couldn't have that many children 1091 00:41:51,750 --> 00:41:49,599 seeing and talking about the same thing 1092 00:41:53,829 --> 00:41:51,760 and some people go oh rubbish gary of 1093 00:41:55,589 --> 00:41:53,839 course they can i said no rubbish you 1094 00:41:57,270 --> 00:41:55,599 shut up you're wrong 1095 00:41:59,030 --> 00:41:57,280 right stop 1096 00:42:01,109 --> 00:41:59,040 gaslighting me 1097 00:42:02,550 --> 00:42:01,119 it's you can't get that many people 1098 00:42:05,670 --> 00:42:02,560 saying the same thing especially 1099 00:42:09,109 --> 00:42:05,680 children and then still holdings now to 1100 00:42:10,069 --> 00:42:09,119 that story you know 20 30 years later 1101 00:42:12,390 --> 00:42:10,079 so 1102 00:42:13,670 --> 00:42:12,400 um they mostly seem to have seen the 1103 00:42:15,430 --> 00:42:13,680 same thing 1104 00:42:17,589 --> 00:42:15,440 right and the the difference differences 1105 00:42:20,230 --> 00:42:17,599 only seem to be down to the level of the 1106 00:42:21,750 --> 00:42:20,240 artistic ability of the individual 1107 00:42:23,430 --> 00:42:21,760 student to draw what it is that they 1108 00:42:25,510 --> 00:42:23,440 thought that they saw 1109 00:42:27,430 --> 00:42:25,520 but like um 1110 00:42:29,349 --> 00:42:27,440 i think a lot of if you follow any of 1111 00:42:30,470 --> 00:42:29,359 the remote viewing literature 1112 00:42:36,069 --> 00:42:30,480 the 1113 00:42:37,910 --> 00:42:36,079 capability is to 1114 00:42:39,910 --> 00:42:37,920 read the signal 1115 00:42:41,430 --> 00:42:39,920 not the interpretation 1116 00:42:44,550 --> 00:42:41,440 right that once you start getting into 1117 00:42:46,470 --> 00:42:44,560 interpretation that's where your 1118 00:42:48,550 --> 00:42:46,480 cultural background 1119 00:42:50,390 --> 00:42:48,560 and what's going on inside your head 1120 00:42:53,430 --> 00:42:50,400 starts to adjust 1121 00:42:54,630 --> 00:42:53,440 what it is you think you saw 1122 00:42:57,750 --> 00:42:54,640 and so there might be a little bit of 1123 00:43:00,069 --> 00:42:57,760 that going on with these children but 1124 00:43:03,430 --> 00:43:00,079 irrespective of that 1125 00:43:04,710 --> 00:43:03,440 the the central story of what they saw 1126 00:43:05,990 --> 00:43:04,720 appears to be 1127 00:43:07,750 --> 00:43:06,000 well at the very least a shared 1128 00:43:09,910 --> 00:43:07,760 experience 1129 00:43:13,349 --> 00:43:09,920 um you know there's no 1130 00:43:14,470 --> 00:43:13,359 but the there's no material evidence 1131 00:43:16,069 --> 00:43:14,480 but 1132 00:43:22,309 --> 00:43:16,079 the s 1133 00:43:23,910 --> 00:43:22,319 is as you mentioned 100 clear 1134 00:43:25,030 --> 00:43:23,920 these kids were affected for their whole 1135 00:43:27,990 --> 00:43:25,040 lives 1136 00:43:29,829 --> 00:43:28,000 um it apparently changed them 1137 00:43:31,349 --> 00:43:29,839 at least as far as they're concerned for 1138 00:43:34,150 --> 00:43:31,359 the better 1139 00:43:35,670 --> 00:43:34,160 i i don't know if any of the i haven't 1140 00:43:37,270 --> 00:43:35,680 seen the movie so i'm jealous that 1141 00:43:39,109 --> 00:43:37,280 you've seen it already 1142 00:43:42,309 --> 00:43:39,119 um 1143 00:43:44,550 --> 00:43:42,319 you know i haven't heard of any negative 1144 00:43:45,270 --> 00:43:44,560 consequences other than let's say that 1145 00:43:53,109 --> 00:43:45,280 the 1146 00:43:56,150 --> 00:43:53,119 um 1147 00:43:59,190 --> 00:43:56,160 negatives 1148 00:44:00,150 --> 00:43:59,200 uh so i'm trying to understand 1149 00:44:01,030 --> 00:44:00,160 uh 1150 00:44:10,630 --> 00:44:01,040 the 1151 00:44:12,950 --> 00:44:10,640 said listen don't listen to anything 1152 00:44:14,870 --> 00:44:12,960 else just go watch that movie and tell 1153 00:44:17,030 --> 00:44:14,880 me what you think 1154 00:44:19,829 --> 00:44:17,040 and you know a lot of people came back 1155 00:44:21,990 --> 00:44:19,839 saying wow you know this is seriously 1156 00:44:24,150 --> 00:44:22,000 interesting 1157 00:44:26,870 --> 00:44:24,160 there's an innocence to those children 1158 00:44:28,309 --> 00:44:26,880 and their stories and when john mack got 1159 00:44:29,910 --> 00:44:28,319 involved and this is something that's 1160 00:44:31,990 --> 00:44:29,920 that comes out in a documentary no 1161 00:44:33,829 --> 00:44:32,000 spoilers but he really moves on the 1162 00:44:35,190 --> 00:44:33,839 story and gets the emotion and the 1163 00:44:37,430 --> 00:44:35,200 feeling from the children which is 1164 00:44:40,390 --> 00:44:37,440 fascinating to see come across on the 1165 00:44:42,150 --> 00:44:40,400 camera as well and something that that 1166 00:44:43,589 --> 00:44:42,160 doesn't happen to those children but has 1167 00:44:46,069 --> 00:44:43,599 happened to others and has been well 1168 00:44:48,309 --> 00:44:46,079 documented as the the potential of a 1169 00:44:50,630 --> 00:44:48,319 hitchhiker effect we've heard this from 1170 00:44:53,510 --> 00:44:50,640 places such as skinwalker ranch that 1171 00:44:55,430 --> 00:44:53,520 there's a potential for a strangeness to 1172 00:44:57,510 --> 00:44:55,440 follow individuals 1173 00:44:58,870 --> 00:44:57,520 from the the place that occurs 1174 00:45:01,109 --> 00:44:58,880 and moves on 1175 00:45:03,670 --> 00:45:01,119 and i wonder do you consider 1176 00:45:05,670 --> 00:45:03,680 this to almost be a virus type of effect 1177 00:45:07,109 --> 00:45:05,680 from the work you've seen or anything 1178 00:45:09,750 --> 00:45:07,119 that's been done on it 1179 00:45:12,870 --> 00:45:09,760 we'll see hitchhiker implies something 1180 00:45:15,270 --> 00:45:12,880 has attached to you 1181 00:45:17,589 --> 00:45:15,280 but maybe a different way of talking 1182 00:45:19,829 --> 00:45:17,599 about it is 1183 00:45:22,069 --> 00:45:19,839 that you're now open 1184 00:45:23,510 --> 00:45:22,079 to observing things that you couldn't 1185 00:45:25,589 --> 00:45:23,520 see before 1186 00:45:27,589 --> 00:45:25,599 but that there's a 1187 00:45:30,470 --> 00:45:27,599 dialectic right there's a discussion 1188 00:45:33,030 --> 00:45:30,480 that you seeing 1189 00:45:33,829 --> 00:45:33,040 leads to a feedback 1190 00:45:36,950 --> 00:45:33,839 that 1191 00:45:38,470 --> 00:45:36,960 it knows it's been seen and so you 1192 00:45:41,349 --> 00:45:38,480 see it more 1193 00:45:42,309 --> 00:45:41,359 right i used the term lighthouses in the 1194 00:45:43,190 --> 00:45:42,319 dark 1195 00:45:46,950 --> 00:45:43,200 uh 1196 00:45:50,470 --> 00:45:46,960 phenomenon that some people seem to be 1197 00:45:52,790 --> 00:45:50,480 lighthouses in the dark almost as if 1198 00:45:54,630 --> 00:45:52,800 the ability to see 1199 00:45:57,430 --> 00:45:54,640 is 1200 00:45:59,510 --> 00:45:57,440 observable from elsewhere 1201 00:46:03,430 --> 00:45:59,520 and so it gets attracted to you but once 1202 00:46:06,069 --> 00:46:03,440 you've opened you've lit the lighthouse 1203 00:46:07,510 --> 00:46:06,079 and so hitchhiker implies a negative 1204 00:46:09,750 --> 00:46:07,520 kind of thing something sitting on your 1205 00:46:11,030 --> 00:46:09,760 shoulder as opposed to 1206 00:46:12,950 --> 00:46:11,040 you're open 1207 00:46:15,589 --> 00:46:12,960 to seeing it and so therefore it's 1208 00:46:17,270 --> 00:46:15,599 willing you know it wants to talk so it 1209 00:46:20,230 --> 00:46:17,280 it hangs around 1210 00:46:21,750 --> 00:46:20,240 you know but many of the 1211 00:46:24,150 --> 00:46:21,760 i mean you have both positive and 1212 00:46:26,630 --> 00:46:24,160 negative stories of hitchhikers i have a 1213 00:46:29,109 --> 00:46:26,640 a good friend in the military and it was 1214 00:46:32,790 --> 00:46:29,119 i i would say largely a negative uh 1215 00:46:33,990 --> 00:46:32,800 hitchhiker effect to him and his family 1216 00:46:36,309 --> 00:46:34,000 um 1217 00:46:38,150 --> 00:46:36,319 i i know of a couple of positive 1218 00:46:40,309 --> 00:46:38,160 hitchhiker effects 1219 00:46:42,710 --> 00:46:40,319 as well 1220 00:46:45,190 --> 00:46:42,720 as their potential those those positives 1221 00:46:47,510 --> 00:46:45,200 and negatives are how those individuals 1222 00:46:49,750 --> 00:46:47,520 construe what's happening and 1223 00:46:52,069 --> 00:46:49,760 potentially whatever is causing these 1224 00:46:53,910 --> 00:46:52,079 effects isn't necessarily looking at 1225 00:46:56,230 --> 00:46:53,920 those those consequences of their 1226 00:46:58,470 --> 00:46:56,240 actions as being positive or negative 1227 00:47:00,309 --> 00:46:58,480 and just a way to communicate 1228 00:47:02,470 --> 00:47:00,319 yeah you know i mean 1229 00:47:03,670 --> 00:47:02,480 if you've listened to any of colm 1230 00:47:06,309 --> 00:47:03,680 kelleher's 1231 00:47:09,190 --> 00:47:06,319 uh interviews um 1232 00:47:12,309 --> 00:47:09,200 he has i always accuse him of being a 1233 00:47:16,390 --> 00:47:12,319 it's a particularly dark irish view 1234 00:47:18,710 --> 00:47:16,400 of of things um but i i can't disagree 1235 00:47:21,030 --> 00:47:18,720 with him that it it it gives you back 1236 00:47:22,470 --> 00:47:21,040 what you put into it it's a feedback 1237 00:47:23,430 --> 00:47:22,480 system 1238 00:47:25,349 --> 00:47:23,440 um 1239 00:47:27,349 --> 00:47:25,359 you know there's this notion of uh 1240 00:47:28,390 --> 00:47:27,359 synchronicities and intent 1241 00:47:30,710 --> 00:47:28,400 and 1242 00:47:32,790 --> 00:47:30,720 synchronicities happen 1243 00:47:35,430 --> 00:47:32,800 almost when you want them to 1244 00:47:36,950 --> 00:47:35,440 it's almost as if now you're talking 1245 00:47:39,349 --> 00:47:36,960 to 1246 00:47:41,430 --> 00:47:39,359 the phenomenon and it's giving you back 1247 00:47:43,829 --> 00:47:41,440 what you want 1248 00:47:44,950 --> 00:47:43,839 right you basically create the world in 1249 00:47:48,950 --> 00:47:44,960 front of you 1250 00:47:50,950 --> 00:47:48,960 by intending it um you know i 1251 00:47:52,950 --> 00:47:50,960 i've not seen any proof of that but it's 1252 00:47:54,630 --> 00:47:52,960 a fascinating concept 1253 00:47:57,990 --> 00:47:54,640 i mean i have plenty of synchronicities 1254 00:48:00,309 --> 00:47:58,000 that are bizarre that happen in my life 1255 00:48:01,589 --> 00:48:00,319 but um 1256 00:48:03,990 --> 00:48:01,599 whether that's 1257 00:48:07,030 --> 00:48:04,000 some outside agency purposefully 1258 00:48:09,109 --> 00:48:07,040 listening to my desires and creating 1259 00:48:10,710 --> 00:48:09,119 that for me or whether there's something 1260 00:48:12,309 --> 00:48:10,720 more fundamental to the structure of the 1261 00:48:13,510 --> 00:48:12,319 universe that allows for these kinds of 1262 00:48:14,790 --> 00:48:13,520 things to occur 1263 00:48:16,309 --> 00:48:14,800 is an open 1264 00:48:18,069 --> 00:48:16,319 question 1265 00:48:19,990 --> 00:48:18,079 those synchronicities can certainly 1266 00:48:21,349 --> 00:48:20,000 range for different people and they can 1267 00:48:23,190 --> 00:48:21,359 be very strange when they happen but i 1268 00:48:24,710 --> 00:48:23,200 do wonder is it because i'm thinking 1269 00:48:27,829 --> 00:48:24,720 about a certain abba song and it comes 1270 00:48:29,430 --> 00:48:27,839 on the radio seconds after that some 1271 00:48:31,589 --> 00:48:29,440 non-human intelligence has allowed that 1272 00:48:33,510 --> 00:48:31,599 to happen or is it just you know pure 1273 00:48:34,950 --> 00:48:33,520 coincidence but something that people 1274 00:48:36,790 --> 00:48:34,960 have got in touch with me recently about 1275 00:48:38,950 --> 00:48:36,800 is different synchronicities and it's 1276 00:48:41,030 --> 00:48:38,960 always fascinating to hear about 1277 00:48:43,109 --> 00:48:41,040 moving on and skipping a whole lot of 1278 00:48:44,630 --> 00:48:43,119 stuff gary just due to time constraints 1279 00:48:46,950 --> 00:48:44,640 um you've recently published a 1280 00:48:49,109 --> 00:48:46,960 peer-reviewed paper on studying 1281 00:48:50,470 --> 00:48:49,119 materials found at crash sites can you 1282 00:48:52,150 --> 00:48:50,480 tell us a little bit about what you 1283 00:48:55,030 --> 00:48:52,160 found 1284 00:48:57,829 --> 00:48:55,040 sure um well the objective of the paper 1285 00:49:01,109 --> 00:48:57,839 up front was to work on 1286 00:49:04,270 --> 00:49:01,119 uh a sample at least one sample 1287 00:49:07,829 --> 00:49:04,280 that was in in many ways 1288 00:49:10,230 --> 00:49:07,839 non-controversial in so far as the the 1289 00:49:12,630 --> 00:49:10,240 number of witnesses that had seen it 1290 00:49:13,750 --> 00:49:12,640 right so you had multiple witnesses 1291 00:49:15,990 --> 00:49:13,760 uh 1292 00:49:17,190 --> 00:49:16,000 on site immediately you had a chain of 1293 00:49:19,829 --> 00:49:17,200 custody 1294 00:49:22,470 --> 00:49:19,839 that you could list that 1295 00:49:26,549 --> 00:49:22,480 basically made sure that the 1296 00:49:28,870 --> 00:49:26,559 object was not hoaxed in some way 1297 00:49:31,510 --> 00:49:28,880 and 1298 00:49:33,829 --> 00:49:31,520 this one was the council bluffs 1299 00:49:35,670 --> 00:49:33,839 episode and this is one that jacques 1300 00:49:36,870 --> 00:49:35,680 valet had been involved with for a long 1301 00:49:40,069 --> 00:49:36,880 time 1302 00:49:42,390 --> 00:49:40,079 uh and an object was seen above the city 1303 00:49:45,270 --> 00:49:42,400 of council bluffs iowa 1304 00:49:47,430 --> 00:49:45,280 uh it was a one of these typical kind of 1305 00:49:50,230 --> 00:49:47,440 things with the light flashing around 1306 00:49:51,109 --> 00:49:50,240 and then it just some objects dropped 1307 00:49:53,270 --> 00:49:51,119 from it 1308 00:49:56,390 --> 00:49:53,280 glowing object at night 1309 00:50:00,309 --> 00:49:56,400 um and the witnesses showed up 30-ish 1310 00:50:01,750 --> 00:50:00,319 pounds of molten metal on the dirt 1311 00:50:05,109 --> 00:50:01,760 next to a levee 1312 00:50:07,270 --> 00:50:05,119 near water uh zero chance that it you 1313 00:50:08,470 --> 00:50:07,280 know hat was 1314 00:50:10,790 --> 00:50:08,480 hoaxed or 1315 00:50:13,750 --> 00:50:10,800 dropped there by some industrial process 1316 00:50:16,069 --> 00:50:13,760 of humans all of this stuff had been 1317 00:50:17,430 --> 00:50:16,079 pre-vetted long before i came to the 1318 00:50:18,470 --> 00:50:17,440 scene 1319 00:50:20,150 --> 00:50:18,480 um 1320 00:50:22,230 --> 00:50:20,160 and i 1321 00:50:24,390 --> 00:50:22,240 just brought the tools that are 1322 00:50:28,309 --> 00:50:24,400 available in my laboratory 1323 00:50:31,349 --> 00:50:28,319 uh for materials analysis metal analysis 1324 00:50:33,670 --> 00:50:31,359 uh to the to the table uh and we did a 1325 00:50:35,430 --> 00:50:33,680 very simple metallurgical analysis i 1326 00:50:37,270 --> 00:50:35,440 mean a lot more that could be done with 1327 00:50:40,150 --> 00:50:37,280 it especially these days 1328 00:50:43,750 --> 00:50:40,160 um we didn't find anything remarkable in 1329 00:50:46,790 --> 00:50:43,760 it in terms of the isotopes but 1330 00:50:49,430 --> 00:50:46,800 what was if anything remarkable 1331 00:50:52,230 --> 00:50:49,440 was that depending on where you looked 1332 00:50:55,430 --> 00:50:52,240 in the sample that i had 1333 00:50:57,670 --> 00:50:55,440 the metals that were there 1334 00:51:00,870 --> 00:50:57,680 were of different ratios 1335 00:51:04,150 --> 00:51:00,880 so it was incompletely mixed 1336 00:51:07,270 --> 00:51:04,160 so whatever it came from 1337 00:51:09,750 --> 00:51:07,280 had multiple inputs of different metals 1338 00:51:11,030 --> 00:51:09,760 like you know magnesium and iron and 1339 00:51:13,270 --> 00:51:11,040 titanium 1340 00:51:14,309 --> 00:51:13,280 but it hadn't been you know mixed in a 1341 00:51:16,630 --> 00:51:14,319 blender 1342 00:51:17,990 --> 00:51:16,640 already it was only partially mixed and 1343 00:51:20,069 --> 00:51:18,000 then 1344 00:51:22,470 --> 00:51:20,079 dropped so 1345 00:51:24,230 --> 00:51:22,480 that's interesting because you can go to 1346 00:51:27,190 --> 00:51:24,240 most smelting 1347 00:51:29,589 --> 00:51:27,200 uh companies that are making ironer 1348 00:51:30,710 --> 00:51:29,599 things and you know 1349 00:51:32,309 --> 00:51:30,720 either 1350 00:51:34,069 --> 00:51:32,319 what you found on one piece of an iron 1351 00:51:36,470 --> 00:51:34,079 versus another is going to be is going 1352 00:51:38,150 --> 00:51:36,480 to be the same because if it's not it's 1353 00:51:39,990 --> 00:51:38,160 going to have different 1354 00:51:42,069 --> 00:51:40,000 tension and torsional 1355 00:51:43,829 --> 00:51:42,079 properties when you mold it into 1356 00:51:45,750 --> 00:51:43,839 whatever it is you're molding right and 1357 00:51:46,549 --> 00:51:45,760 so it will have fracture 1358 00:51:48,470 --> 00:51:46,559 uh 1359 00:51:49,510 --> 00:51:48,480 you know in one place more likely than 1360 00:51:50,710 --> 00:51:49,520 another 1361 00:51:52,069 --> 00:51:50,720 so 1362 00:51:54,630 --> 00:51:52,079 that was interesting 1363 00:51:57,430 --> 00:51:54,640 um but then also the the combination of 1364 00:51:59,750 --> 00:51:57,440 metals that were in it were 1365 00:52:02,230 --> 00:51:59,760 again not something which is used in any 1366 00:52:04,470 --> 00:52:02,240 normal industrial process 1367 00:52:05,750 --> 00:52:04,480 doesn't i mean it all it means is we 1368 00:52:07,829 --> 00:52:05,760 don't know 1369 00:52:09,829 --> 00:52:07,839 right that that's kind of the limit of 1370 00:52:12,309 --> 00:52:09,839 what you can say 1371 00:52:14,790 --> 00:52:12,319 but the the purpose of 1372 00:52:16,790 --> 00:52:14,800 putting this one paper out 1373 00:52:20,150 --> 00:52:16,800 wasn't so much to say here's something 1374 00:52:22,870 --> 00:52:20,160 remarkable but it was to say here's how 1375 00:52:25,190 --> 00:52:22,880 you publish a paper like this 1376 00:52:26,630 --> 00:52:25,200 here's how you don't jump to conclusions 1377 00:52:29,430 --> 00:52:26,640 as to what it means 1378 00:52:30,829 --> 00:52:29,440 here's how you just say 1379 00:52:33,990 --> 00:52:30,839 i have the 1380 00:52:36,230 --> 00:52:34,000 data you can believe the data 1381 00:52:38,710 --> 00:52:36,240 come up with a conclusion yourself if 1382 00:52:39,670 --> 00:52:38,720 you think you have the answer it's a 1383 00:52:41,990 --> 00:52:39,680 puzzle 1384 00:52:44,630 --> 00:52:42,000 waiting to be solved 1385 00:52:46,950 --> 00:52:44,640 uh and so but it was also to show that 1386 00:52:47,750 --> 00:52:46,960 you can do it 1387 00:52:49,270 --> 00:52:47,760 and 1388 00:52:51,910 --> 00:52:49,280 publish these kinds of things get them 1389 00:52:55,270 --> 00:52:51,920 through peer review and not be ridiculed 1390 00:52:57,829 --> 00:52:55,280 for it as long as you strip stick to 1391 00:53:00,630 --> 00:52:57,839 certain scientific strictures 1392 00:53:02,069 --> 00:53:00,640 about how you do it 1393 00:53:04,230 --> 00:53:02,079 you have to become you have to be 1394 00:53:05,910 --> 00:53:04,240 bulletproof i mean mentally you have to 1395 00:53:08,549 --> 00:53:05,920 become bulletproof and because i still 1396 00:53:10,870 --> 00:53:08,559 have plenty of my colleagues who you 1397 00:53:12,150 --> 00:53:10,880 know twitter about it you know you know 1398 00:53:14,549 --> 00:53:12,160 but then 1399 00:53:18,150 --> 00:53:14,559 interestingly more and more 1400 00:53:18,950 --> 00:53:18,160 i was uh i was just in um 1401 00:53:25,109 --> 00:53:18,960 in 1402 00:53:27,109 --> 00:53:25,119 came up to me and said gary i've been 1403 00:53:30,069 --> 00:53:27,119 reading about your involvement in all of 1404 00:53:32,390 --> 00:53:30,079 this that's really cool 1405 00:53:33,910 --> 00:53:32,400 right that's totally cool and 1406 00:53:35,589 --> 00:53:33,920 why is it cool 1407 00:53:38,230 --> 00:53:35,599 because the next thing out of their 1408 00:53:40,069 --> 00:53:38,240 mouths is yeah i saw this all this stuff 1409 00:53:41,910 --> 00:53:40,079 in the new york times about these pilots 1410 00:53:44,230 --> 00:53:41,920 who've seen things and these 1411 00:53:45,510 --> 00:53:44,240 congressional inquiries that are about 1412 00:53:47,910 --> 00:53:45,520 to happen 1413 00:53:49,430 --> 00:53:47,920 wow you're you know you really seem to 1414 00:53:51,430 --> 00:53:49,440 be on to something 1415 00:53:53,270 --> 00:53:51,440 you know part of me is like well yeah i 1416 00:53:56,870 --> 00:53:53,280 told you so 1417 00:53:58,630 --> 00:53:56,880 but um you know i try to back off from 1418 00:54:00,790 --> 00:53:58,640 self congratulation 1419 00:54:04,150 -->

00:54:17,990 --> 00:54:16,640 that have opened it up for us in a way 1426 00:54:21,030 --> 00:54:18,000 that 1427 00:54:23,270 --> 00:54:21,040 uh is to me exciting yes there's a lot 1428 00:54:25,750

head it's funny i have no 1448 00:55:13,349 --> 00:55:11,599 issue with trolls and all that kind of 1449 00:55:15,270 --> 00:55:13,359 stuff i find it quite 1450 00:55:18,069 --> 00:55:15,280 cathartic and almost a hobby to engage 1451 00:55:19,910 --> 00:55:18,079 with them for a while um and we had one 1452 00:55:21,990 --> 00:55:19,920 particular troll on some of the youtube 1453 00:55:23,430 --> 00:55:22,000 live chats who i engaged with and 1454 00:55:25,430 --> 00:55:23,440 eventually they actually emailed me 1455 00:55:26,950 --> 00:55:25,440 privately to say they were sorry for 1456 00:55:29,430 --> 00:55:26,960 trolling so much but the whole idea of 1457 00:55:31,270 --> 00:55:29,440 this ufo phenomenon scares them 1458 00:55:32,789 --> 00:55:31,280 and i was like well that's fine just 1459 00:55:35,190 --> 00:55:32,799 talk about it and but the way it was 1460 00:55:36,630 --> 00:55:35,200 manifesting was to sit on chats of 1461 00:55:39,990 --> 00:55:36,640 various interviews with people like 1462 00:55:42,069 --> 00:55:40,000 yourself and slate the subject 1463 00:55:43,430 --> 00:55:42,079 but actually they did have an interest 1464 00:55:45,589 --> 00:55:43,440 but they just don't know how to express 1465 00:55:46,870 --> 00:55:45,599 that which i found quite interesting 1466 00:55:49,750 --> 00:55:46,880 people just have to take that kind of 1467 00:55:51,589 --> 00:55:49,760 step back got it yeah i don't mind those 1468 00:55:52,950 --> 00:55:51,599 kinds of people it's the professional 1469 00:55:54,630 --> 00:55:52,960 trolls 1470

00:56:03,920 why are you bothered yeah um it uh it's 1474 00:56:07,670 --> 00:56:05,119 it just seems 1475 00:56:09,109 --> 00:56:07,680 like they've got nothing better to do 1476 00:56:11,190 --> 00:56:09,119 that they feed 1477 00:56:13,430 --> 00:56:11,200 on this negativity 1478 00:56:14,870 --> 00:56:13,440 uh and to me it's like look dude you 1479 00:56:17,990 --> 00:56:14,880 need to you

this interview is released congress is 1483 00:56:28,549 --> 00:56:26,400 conducting hearings regarding 1484 00:56:30,630 --> 00:56:28,559 unidentified aerial phenomenon what 1485 00:56:33,270 --> 00:56:30,640 would you personally like to hear asked 1486 00:56:35,670 --> 00:56:33,280 at those hearings 1487 00:56:38,069 --> 00:56:35,680 i would like to hear 1488 00:56:40,630 --> 00:56:38,079 um about something actually that chris 1489 00:56:42,470 --> 00:56:40,640 mellon just tweeted uh 1490 00:56:45,030 --> 00:56:42,480 i'm actually in a another conversation 1491 00:56:47,270 --> 00:56:45,040 with him right now on another channel 1492 00:56:49,990 --> 00:56:47,280 i'm watching some conversations go on 1493 00:56:51,910 --> 00:56:50,000 um is 1494 00:56:54,470 --> 00:56:51,920 what's the evidence of 1495 00:56:55,510 --> 00:56:54,480 any of this stuff in orbit right we have 1496 00:56:57,670 --> 00:56:55,520 lots of 1497 00:56:59,030 --> 00:56:57,680 sensors up there 1498 00:57:00,549 --> 00:56:59,040 so that's one of the things that should 1499 00:57:02,470 --> 00:57:00,559 be discussed 1500 00:57:05,270 --> 00:57:02,480 um 1501 00:57:07,670 --> 00:57:05,280 what might be a potential agenda of 1502 00:57:09,349 --> 00:57:07,680 these objects right so i mean that's a 1503 00:57:11,030 --> 00:57:09,359 scary thing to start talking about but 1504 00:57:12,950 --> 00:57:11,040 if they're hanging around 1505 00:57:15,910 --> 00:57:12,960 mostly being seen at our nuclear 1506 00:57:16,870 --> 00:57:15,920 facilities that implies 1507 00:57:19,670 --> 00:57:16,880 something 1508 00:57:21,109 --> 00:57:19,680 a little on the let's say the scarier 1509 00:57:23,030 --> 00:57:21,119 side 1510 00:57:26,549 --> 00:57:23,040 um there was another thing that i was 1511 00:57:28,390 --> 00:57:26,559 thinking there that is uh 1512 00:57:30,390 --> 00:57:28,400 oh well it'll come to me but those are 1513 00:57:32,549 --> 00:57:30,400 those are two of the main ones that that 1514 00:57:33,829 --> 00:57:32,559 i want to hear about 1515 00:57:34,950 --> 00:57:33,839 um 1516 00:57:36,789 --> 00:57:34,960 and 1517 00:57:38,789 --> 00:57:36,799 but i also want 1518 00:57:41,030 --> 00:57:38,799 to have at some point a discussion 1519 00:57:43,270 --> 00:57:41,040 around 1520 00:57:45,829 --> 00:57:43,280 what are the opportunities 1521 00:57:48,390 --> 00:57:45,839 you know let's say that whatever this is 1522 00:57:50,470 --> 00:57:48,400 keeps continues to keeps us keep us at 1523 00:57:52,950 --> 00:57:50,480 arm's length 1524 00:57:54,549 --> 00:57:52,960 but has there ever been any attempt at 1525 00:57:57,030 --> 00:57:54,559 communication 1526 00:58:00,069 --> 00:57:57,040 with this and if so what has been the 1527 00:58:01,349 --> 00:58:00,079 interaction what has been the feedback 1528 00:58:03,750 --> 00:58:01,359 you know that's a that's another one and 1529 00:58:07,109 --> 00:58:03,760 then another thing that is i think 1530 00:58:09,670 --> 00:58:07,119 gathering a fair amount of uh 1531 00:58:12,549 --> 00:58:09,680 uh inertia 1532 00:58:16,150 --> 00:58:12,559 is this idea of um 1533 00:58:17,030 --> 00:58:16,160 immunity versus amnesty 1534 00:58:19,109 --> 00:58:17,040 um 1535 00:58:20,870 --> 00:58:19,119 that if we're going to get people to 1536 00:58:23,109 --> 00:58:20,880 come out of the shadows 1537 00:58:24,950 --> 00:58:23,119 there has to be immunity now a friend of 1538 00:58:27,910 --> 00:58:24,960 mine who i talk with a lot he says look 1539 00:58:29,190 --> 00:58:27,920 it can't be amnesty because amnesty is 1540 00:58:30,789 --> 00:58:29,200 you've already been convicted of 1541 00:58:33,829 --> 00:58:30,799 something 1542 00:58:35,990 --> 00:58:33,839 and then you're given amnesty for it no 1543 00:58:37,270 --> 00:58:36,000 you want immunity 1544 00:58:39,030 --> 00:58:37,280 up front so we should stop using the 1545 00:58:41,510 --> 00:58:39,040 word amnesty we should start using the 1546 00:58:44,549 --> 00:58:41,520 word immunity because immunity means 1547 00:58:46,870 --> 00:58:44,559 that you won't be prosecuted 1548 00:58:49,750 --> 00:58:46,880 right but it needs to be a carrot and a 1549 00:58:52,150 --> 00:58:49,760 stick approach right it's immunity if 1550 00:58:54,870 --> 00:58:52,160 you come forward now beyond a certain 1551 00:58:55,910 --> 00:58:54,880 date and if you don't 1552 00:58:58,390 --> 00:58:55,920 now you're going to be stuck in the 1553 00:59:01,750 --> 00:58:58,400 amnesty bucket after you've been 1554 00:59:04,630 --> 00:59:01,760 you know if if necessary uh 1555 00:59:06,230 --> 00:59:04,640 uh basically run through a ringer 1556 00:59:07,829 --> 00:59:06,240 but that's the only way we're going to 1557 00:59:09,349 --> 00:59:07,839 open things up so it has to be an open 1558 00:59:11,270 --> 00:59:09,359 discussion of that 1559 00:59:13,589 --> 00:59:11,280 i was talking to a congressman 1560 00:59:15,190 --> 00:59:13,599 uh

00:59:24,630 --> 00:59:22,880 going to have to be done 1565 00:59:26,549 --> 00:59:24,640 gary you've been extremely generous with 1566 00:59:28,789 --> 00:59:26,559 your time i really appreciate it i
