1 00:00:16,130 --> 00:00:16,040 [Music] 2 00:00:24,010 --> 00:00:16,140 [Applause] 3 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:24,020 [Music] 4 00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:25,370 [Applause] 5 00:00:35,430 --> 00:00:32,709 welcome back to the ufo rabbit hole 6 00:00:37,190 --> 00:00:35,440 podcast i'm your host kelly chase 7 00:00:39,510 --> 00:00:37,200 over the last two episodes we've 8 00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:39,520 discussed two potential explanations for 9 00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:41,840 the ufo phenomenon that the highly 10 00:00:45,350 --> 00:00:43,520 advanced technological craft that are 11 00:00:48,549 --> 00:00:45,360 being recorded in our skies and in our 12 00:00:50,430 --> 00:00:48,559 oceans could be secret human technology 13 00:00:52,229 --> 00:00:50,440 or that they could in fact be 14 00:00:54,069 --> 00:00:52,239 extraterrestrial 15 00:00:56,310 --> 00:00:54,079 but despite the fact that we tend to 16 00:00:59,029 --> 00:00:56,320 associate ufos with either of those two 17 00:01:00,790 --> 00:00:59,039 possibilities we're just barely scraping 18 00:01:02,869 --> 00:01:00,800 the surface and our understanding of 19 00:01:05,350 --> 00:01:02,879 what these craft could actually be and 20 00:01:07,429 --> 00:01:05,360 i've got to warn you from here on out 21 00:01:09,590 --> 00:01:07,439 things get pretty strange 22 00:01:11,830 --> 00:01:09,600 in the last episode we talked about one 23 00:01:14,469 --> 00:01:11,840 of the most puzzling aspects of alleged 24 00:01:15,830 --> 00:01:14,479 alien encounters which is that they look 25 00:01:18,230 --> 00:01:15,840 a lot like us 26 00:01:20,710 --> 00:01:18,240 in other words they're anthropomorphic 27 00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:20,720 which is a mash-up of two greek words 28 00:01:26,149 --> 00:01:22,880 anthrap meaning human and morphic 29 00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:26,159 meaning shaped so literally human shaped 30 00:01:30,469 --> 00:01:28,640 and as we discussed although the idea 31 00:01:33,270 --> 00:01:30,479 that extraterrestrial beings would be 32 00:01:35,670 --> 00:01:33,280 anthropomorphic is counterintuitive the 33 00:01:37,749 --> 00:01:35,680 more we learn about how evolution works 34 00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:37,759 the more likely it seems that we could 35 00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:39,360 encounter intelligent beings from other 36 00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:41,840 planets who do look a lot like we do 37 00:01:44,550 --> 00:01:43,280 but what if there was another 38 00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:44,560 explanation 39 00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:47,040 what if they aren't just human-shaped 40 00:01:50,789 --> 00:01:49,200 but actually human 41 00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:50,799 what if what people are seeing aren't 42 00:01:55,830 --> 00:01:52,720 extraterrestrial beings that happen to 43 00:01:57,830 --> 00:01:55,840 evolve along a similar evolutionary path 44 00:01:59,670 --> 00:01:57,840 what if they're part of our evolutionary 45 00:02:01,350 --> 00:01:59,680 path but they're just further down the 46 00:02:02,950 --> 00:02:01,360 road than we are 47 00:02:05,270 --> 00:02:02,960 this is what is referred to as the 48 00:02:07,429 --> 00:02:05,280 future human hypothesis 49 00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:07,439 the basic premise of this hypothesis is 50 00:02:12,309 --> 00:02:10,000 that the origin of ufo phenomenon isn't 51 00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:12,319 from another world but from this world 52 00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:14,080 far in the future 53 00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:15,840 michael masters a professor of 54 00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:18,000 biological anthropology at montana 55 00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:20,560 technological university is a proponent 56 00:02:25,070 --> 00:02:22,640 of the future human hypothesis 57 00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:25,080 in his book identified flying objects a 58 00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:27,120 multi-disciplinary scientific approach 59 00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:29,040 to the ufo phenomenon 60 00:02:33,190 --> 00:02:31,200 masters makes the argument that although 61 00:02:35,509 --> 00:02:33,200 we tend to associate ufos with 62 00:02:36,949 --> 00:02:35,519 extraterrestrials that it actually makes 63 00:02:39,830 --> 00:02:36,959 a lot more sense that they have a 64 00:02:40,949 --> 00:02:39,840 terrestrial and more specifically human 65 00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:40,959 origin 66 00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:42,239 saying quote 67 00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:45,200 we know we're here we know humans exist 68 00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:46,560 we know that we've had a long 69 00:02:50,949 --> 00:02:49,040 evolutionary history on this planet and 70 00:02:53,190 --> 00:02:50,959 we know our technology is going to be 71 00:02:55,990 --> 00:02:53,200 more advanced in the future i think the 72 00:02:56,949 --> 00:02:56,000 simplest explanation innately is that it 73 00:02:58,630 --> 00:02:56,959 is us 74 00:03:00,790 --> 00:02:58,640 i'm just trying to offer what is likely 75 00:03:01,750 --> 00:03:00,800 the most parsimonious explanation end 76 00:03:04,070 --> 00:03:01,760 quote 77 00:03:06,070 --> 00:03:04,080 and he does have a point as we discussed 78 00:03:07,589 --> 00:03:06,080 in the last episode until we get 79 00:03:09,270 --> 00:03:07,599 incontrovertible proof of 80 00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:09,280 extraterrestrial life 81 00:03:12,790 --> 00:03:11,120 we just simply don't have enough data to 82 00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:12,800 know how common it is for life to 83 00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:15,120 develop and how often that life evolves 84 00:03:18,869 --> 00:03:17,280 to a level of technological advancement 85 00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:18,879 that would make interstellar travel 86 00:03:22,869 --> 00:03:21,440 possible and even then interstellar 87 00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:22,879 travel is something that is only 88 00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:24,480 hypothetically possible using 89 00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:26,400 hypothetical technology 90 00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:28,720 there's just a lot of unknowns there 91 00:03:32,949 --> 00:03:30,959 as masters points out the future human 92 00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:32,959 hypothesis doesn't need to overcome any 93 00:03:36,789 --> 00:03:35,040 of those challenges we don't need to 94 00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:36,799 unlock the mysteries of the universe to 95 00:03:40,869 --> 00:03:39,040 find an explanation for this phenomenon 96 00:03:42,070 --> 00:03:40,879 all the answers we need are right in 97 00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:42,080 front of us 98 00:03:46,869 --> 00:03:44,400 and yet as we'll see the future human 99 00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:46,879 hypothesis offers us anything but easy 100 00:03:49,509 --> 00:03:47,920 answers 101 00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:49,519 so let's take a little time to explore 102 00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:51,519 this idea starting with the question of 103 00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:53,120 how humans might evolve to look in the 104 00:03:56,550 --> 00:03:54,640 future 105 00:03:58,390 --> 00:03:56,560 now it's impossible to play the tape 106 00:03:59,750 --> 00:03:58,400 forward on evolution and know for 107 00:04:01,750 --> 00:03:59,760 certain what humans will look like in 108 00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:01,760 the future but we only need to look at 109 00:04:06,070 --> 00:04:03,920 our own evolutionary path up until this 110 00:04:07,670 --> 00:04:06,080 point to see how drastically a species 111 00:04:09,429 --> 00:04:07,680 can change over time 112 00:04:11,190 --> 00:04:09,439 and we know enough to make some basic 113 00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:11,200 assumptions that allow us to at least 114 00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:13,280 approach this as an interesting thought 115 00:04:16,629 --> 00:04:14,560 experiment 116 00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:16,639 so based on what we know what might 117 00:04:20,789 --> 00:04:18,560 future humans look like 118 00:04:22,950 --> 00:04:20,799 well if current trends continue they 119 00:04:25,670 --> 00:04:22,960 will probably look much more similar to 120 00:04:28,390 --> 00:04:25,680 each other than present-day humans do 121 00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:28,400 humanity as we know it is very diverse 122 00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:30,720 over the last 200 000 years or so as 123 00:04:34,629 --> 00:04:33,040 humans spread out across the globe we 124 00:04:36,629 --> 00:04:34,639 develop different traits based on 125 00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:36,639 adaptations to our environment 126 00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:38,400 interbreeding with other ancient human 127 00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:41,440 species and random mutation as a result 128 00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:43,199 there's a stunning amount of variety in 129 00:04:47,909 --> 00:04:45,680 our skin color eye color hair color and 130 00:04:49,510 --> 00:04:47,919 texture height etc 131 00:04:51,510 --> 00:04:49,520 however as we become more 132 00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:51,520 technologically advanced our world is 133 00:04:55,430 --> 00:04:54,000 getting smaller we're no longer isolated 134 00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:55,440 from each other in little pockets of 135 00:04:58,230 --> 00:04:56,400 humanity 136 00:05:00,790 --> 00:04:58,240 and we're increasingly mixing together 137 00:05:02,870 --> 00:05:00,800 in one giant genetic melting pot 138 00:05:05,749 --> 00:05:02,880 the natural result of this is that our 139 00:05:07,830 --> 00:05:05,759 genes are becoming more homogenized 140 00:05:09,510 --> 00:05:07,840 dominant traits like brown eyes become 141 00:05:11,510 --> 00:05:09,520 much more common the recessive traits 142 00:05:13,749 --> 00:05:11,520 like blue eyes and the traits that 143 00:05:16,469 --> 00:05:13,759 aren't tied to one specific gene like 144 00:05:18,150 --> 00:05:16,479 skin color and eye shape blend together 145 00:05:19,430 --> 00:05:18,160 causing people to look more and more 146 00:05:22,390 --> 00:05:19,440 alike 147 00:05:24,070 --> 00:05:22,400 in 2013 artist and researcher nicolet 148 00:05:27,029 --> 00:05:24,080 lamb worked with computational 149 00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:27,039 geneticist dr alan kwan to illustrate 150 00:05:30,629 --> 00:05:28,880 what humans might look like a hundred 151 00:05:32,710 --> 00:05:30,639 thousand years from now 152 00:05:34,550 --> 00:05:32,720 based on their research they theorized 153 00:05:36,710 --> 00:05:34,560 that human foreheads would continue to 154 00:05:39,270 --> 00:05:36,720 get larger and cranial capacities would 155 00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:39,280 continue to accommodate larger brains a 156 00:05:44,629 --> 00:05:42,560 trend that started in the 14th century 157 00:05:46,790 --> 00:05:44,639 they also proposed that as humans begin 158 00:05:48,629 --> 00:05:46,800 to colonize space that we will probably 159 00:05:50,870 --> 00:05:48,639 have much bigger eyes to help us see 160 00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:50,880 better in low-light environments 161 00:05:55,270 --> 00:05:52,960 according to quan these eyes would 162 00:05:57,270 --> 00:05:55,280 likely be unnervingly large by today's 163 00:05:59,029 --> 00:05:57,280 standards and we might even develop 164 00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:59,039 eyeshine to further enhance our low 165 00:06:01,749 --> 00:06:00,560 light vision 166 00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:01,759 not everyone agrees with these 167 00:06:05,590 --> 00:06:03,840 predictions and honestly there's no real 168 00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:05,600 reason for them to do so it's all just 169 00:06:09,430 --> 00:06:07,440 wild speculation 170 00:06:11,189 --> 00:06:09,440 what it comes down to is this 171 00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:11,199 close encounter accounts typically 172 00:06:16,629 --> 00:06:14,560 describe ufo tenants as bipedal hairless 173 00:06:20,150 --> 00:06:16,639 human-like beings with large brains 174 00:06:21,749 --> 00:06:20,160 large eyes small noses and small mouths 175 00:06:23,350 --> 00:06:21,759 and that's interesting 176 00:06:25,110 --> 00:06:23,360 super interesting 177 00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:25,120 but just because the beings that people 178 00:06:30,150 --> 00:06:27,600 report seeing in and around ufos look 179 00:06:31,749 --> 00:06:30,160 like us doesn't necessarily mean that 180 00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:31,759 they are us 181 00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:33,360 but they could be 182 00:06:37,749 --> 00:06:35,440 so let's have a little fun with this and 183 00:06:38,870 --> 00:06:37,759 assume that ufos are future human in 184 00:06:41,510 --> 00:06:38,880 origin 185 00:06:43,189 --> 00:06:41,520 the first and most obvious question is 186 00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:43,199 what are they doing here 187 00:06:48,309 --> 00:06:44,960 there are three basic buckets of 188 00:06:51,510 --> 00:06:48,319 possibilities one they're just curious 189 00:06:53,749 --> 00:06:51,520 two they're trying to save us and three 190 00:06:55,430 --> 00:06:53,759 they're trying to save themselves 191 00:06:57,029 --> 00:06:55,440 so let's break these down 192 00:06:58,790 --> 00:06:57,039 let's start with the idea that they're 193 00:07:00,710 --> 00:06:58,800 just curious 194 00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:00,720 the thinking with this theory is that if 195 00:07:04,870 --> 00:07:02,800 a species evolved technologically to the 196 00:07:06,629 --> 00:07:04,880 point where time travel was possible 197 00:07:08,070 --> 00:07:06,639 then the natural inclination would be to 198 00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:08,080 go back in time and check out what 199 00:07:11,909 --> 00:07:10,000 things were like in the past 200 00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:11,919 so it could be that they're basically 201 00:07:14,950 --> 00:07:13,120 tourists 202 00:07:17,110 --> 00:07:14,960 maybe in the distant future instead of 203 00:07:19,029 --> 00:07:17,120 taking a caribbean cruise you can 204 00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:19,039 vacation by going back in time to see 205 00:07:23,909 --> 00:07:21,520 the dinosaurs then fly through egypt to 206 00:07:25,749 --> 00:07:23,919 watch the pyramids being built and then 207 00:07:27,510 --> 00:07:25,759 pop up north in a few thousand years to 208 00:07:28,710 --> 00:07:27,520 watch the fall of rome before heading 209 00:07:30,870 --> 00:07:28,720 back home 210 00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:30,880 that does sound pretty awesome 211 00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:32,560 and it makes sense that if we could do 212 00:07:36,950 --> 00:07:34,960 such a thing that we probably would so 213 00:07:38,629 --> 00:07:36,960 that is one possibility 214 00:07:41,029 --> 00:07:38,639 another possibility is that they could 215 00:07:42,870 --> 00:07:41,039 be more formally studying us 216 00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:42,880 time travel would be an absolute game 217 00:07:46,309 --> 00:07:44,400 changer for historians and 218 00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:46,319 archaeologists of the future 219 00:07:49,909 --> 00:07:48,240 instead of painstakingly collecting 220 00:07:52,150 --> 00:07:49,919 artifacts and data and piecing them 221 00:07:53,830 --> 00:07:52,160 together scholars and scientists could 222 00:07:56,629 --> 00:07:53,840 go back and see what was going on during 223 00:07:58,390 --> 00:07:56,639 a particular time period for themselves 224 00:08:00,390 --> 00:07:58,400 it also could be that they aren't here 225 00:08:02,469 --> 00:08:00,400 just to observe us but that they're here 226 00:08:04,309 --> 00:08:02,479 on a very specific mission 227 00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:04,319 and some people think that that mission 228 00:08:07,990 --> 00:08:06,400 could be to save us by preventing some 229 00:08:09,510 --> 00:08:08,000 massive calamity 230 00:08:12,070 --> 00:08:09,520 maybe they're here to warn us of an 231 00:08:14,390 --> 00:08:12,080 impending disaster or maybe their goal 232 00:08:16,629 --> 00:08:14,400 is to alter the timeline just enough to 233 00:08:18,390 --> 00:08:16,639 avert some unknown outcome 234 00:08:20,790 --> 00:08:18,400 one reason that some people gravitate 235 00:08:22,790 --> 00:08:20,800 towards this particular explanation is 236 00:08:25,909 --> 00:08:22,800 that there is an undeniable connection 237 00:08:27,589 --> 00:08:25,919 between ufos and nuclear technology 238 00:08:29,990 --> 00:08:27,599 where there are nuclear weapons and 239 00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:30,000 nuclear facilities you tend to find lots 240 00:08:34,790 --> 00:08:32,159 of reports of ufo sightings 241 00:08:36,469 --> 00:08:34,800 over the last decade or so more and more 242 00:08:38,709 --> 00:08:36,479 current and former members of the u.s 243 00:08:41,350 --> 00:08:38,719 military have come forward to talk about 244 00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:41,360 ufo encounters in which these craft 245 00:08:45,670 --> 00:08:43,120 didn't just seem to be interested in our 246 00:08:47,350 --> 00:08:45,680 nuclear weapons but interacted with them 247 00:08:49,430 --> 00:08:47,360 directly 248 00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:49,440 one such alleged incident occurred on 249 00:08:55,590 --> 00:08:52,560 march 24th 1967 at maelstrom air force 250 00:08:57,990 --> 00:08:55,600 base in montana u.s air force captain 251 00:08:59,990 --> 00:08:58,000 robert salas was the on-duty commander 252 00:09:02,550 --> 00:09:00,000 of a secret underground launch control 253 00:09:06,230 --> 00:09:02,560 facility that night and he claims that 254 00:09:07,350 --> 00:09:06,240 he saw a giant ufo disable 10 nuclear 255 00:09:09,430 --> 00:09:07,360 weapons 256 00:09:11,430 --> 00:09:09,440 the saucer-shaped craft was seen 257 00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:11,440 floating above the base by multiple 258 00:09:16,630 --> 00:09:13,680 guards stationed on the ground and 259 00:09:19,430 --> 00:09:16,640 captain salus watched in astonishment as 260 00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:19,440 all 10 nuclear weapons were powered down 261 00:09:22,470 --> 00:09:21,279 and rendered useless 262 00:09:24,790 --> 00:09:22,480 something that should have been 263 00:09:27,990 --> 00:09:24,800 impossible as all 10 of the weapons were 264 00:09:30,310 --> 00:09:28,000 running on 10 independent systems 265 00:09:32,230 --> 00:09:30,320 salus reported that it took over a day 266 00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:32,240 to get them all back online 267 00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:34,240 no damage to the weapons systems was 268 00:09:37,190 --> 00:09:35,440 ever found 269 00:09:39,350 --> 00:09:37,200 nor has there ever been an explanation 270 00:09:41,430 --> 00:09:39,360 for what happened that day and this is 271 00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:41,440 just one of literally over a hundred 272 00:09:45,110 --> 00:09:43,360 reports from members of our military 273 00:09:46,870 --> 00:09:45,120 regarding the sort of phenomenon at 274 00:09:48,790 --> 00:09:46,880 nuclear sites 275 00:09:50,870 --> 00:09:48,800 many people look at this correlation and 276 00:09:52,389 --> 00:09:50,880 wonder if it could be that future humans 277 00:09:54,389 --> 00:09:52,399 are trying to warn us off from the 278 00:09:56,230 --> 00:09:54,399 devastating potential consequences of 279 00:09:58,150 --> 00:09:56,240 using our nuclear weapons 280 00:09:59,750 --> 00:09:58,160 and it's not like nuclear war is the 281 00:10:02,470 --> 00:09:59,760 only potential disaster that we're 282 00:10:04,069 --> 00:10:02,480 currently flirting with as a species 283 00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:04,079 so it really could be that they're doing 284 00:10:08,630 --> 00:10:06,480 their best to save us from ourselves 285 00:10:10,230 --> 00:10:08,640 and finally it could be that they aren't 286 00:10:12,389 --> 00:10:10,240 trying to save us 287 00:10:13,750 --> 00:10:12,399 but trying to save themselves 288 00:10:16,069 --> 00:10:13,760 we might have something that they need 289 00:10:17,990 --> 00:10:16,079 to survive but what could be going on in 290 00:10:20,150 --> 00:10:18,000 the future that would cause humanity to 291 00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:20,160 look to its past for help 292 00:10:24,150 --> 00:10:22,160 going back to michael masters in his 293 00:10:26,150 --> 00:10:24,160 book on the future human hypothesis 294 00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:26,160 identified flying objects 295 00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:28,000 he proposed that they could be coming 296 00:10:32,710 --> 00:10:30,240 back to harvest our dna 297 00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:32,720 the idea is that if the homogenization 298 00:10:37,350 --> 00:10:35,760 of human dna continues into the future 299 00:10:39,350 --> 00:10:37,360 that could make us particularly 300 00:10:42,150 --> 00:10:39,360 vulnerable to extinction 301 00:10:43,829 --> 00:10:42,160 for a species to stay strong and viable 302 00:10:46,069 --> 00:10:43,839 there needs to be a lot of variation 303 00:10:47,829 --> 00:10:46,079 among individuals if there isn't enough 304 00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:47,839 variation the species will become 305 00:10:51,430 --> 00:10:49,680 vulnerable to diseases caused by 306 00:10:52,550 --> 00:10:51,440 everything from recessive traits to 307 00:10:54,389 --> 00:10:52,560 viruses 308 00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:54,399 and they could be wiped out 309 00:10:59,350 --> 00:10:56,399 and if you needed to introduce more 310 00:11:01,269 --> 00:10:59,360 variation into your dna your ancient 311 00:11:02,150 --> 00:11:01,279 ancestors would be a great place to 312 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:02,160 start 313 00:11:06,890 --> 00:12:09,829 [Music] 314 00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:12,389 i'll be honest and say that i struggle 315 00:12:15,990 --> 00:12:14,560 with the future human hypothesis 316 00:12:18,230 --> 00:12:16,000 for reasons that we'll talk about in 317 00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:18,240 just a minute i just ultimately don't 318 00:12:22,949 --> 00:12:20,720 find it to be very satisfying 319 00:12:24,790 --> 00:12:22,959 however there is one odd bit of 320 00:12:26,949 --> 00:12:24,800 potential evidence in support of this 321 00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:26,959 idea that i personally find too 322 00:12:30,389 --> 00:12:28,800 compelling to ignore 323 00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:30,399 there is this award-winning 324 00:12:35,350 --> 00:12:32,480 investigative journalist from australia 325 00:12:38,310 --> 00:12:35,360 named ross coldheart who recently wrote 326 00:12:40,790 --> 00:12:38,320 a phenomenal book on the ufo phenomenon 327 00:12:43,509 --> 00:12:40,800 called in plain sight an investigation 328 00:12:45,990 --> 00:12:43,519 into ufos and impossible science 329 00:12:47,910 --> 00:12:46,000 this was a big departure and a big risk 330 00:12:51,590 --> 00:12:47,920 for someone who had built his career and 331 00:12:52,550 --> 00:12:51,600 reputation on being a serious journalist 332 00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:52,560 and yet 333 00:12:56,470 --> 00:12:54,880 coldheart stuck to his guns believing 334 00:12:58,230 --> 00:12:56,480 that there was more than enough evidence 335 00:13:00,150 --> 00:12:58,240 to not only confirm that the ufo 336 00:13:02,069 --> 00:13:00,160 phenomenon is real 337 00:13:04,150 --> 00:13:02,079 but that there has been a massive 338 00:13:05,509 --> 00:13:04,160 international cover-up to hide this fact 339 00:13:07,750 --> 00:13:05,519 from the public 340 00:13:09,990 --> 00:13:07,760 and recently he's come out in interviews 341 00:13:12,069 --> 00:13:10,000 and said that according to some of his 342 00:13:15,750 --> 00:13:12,079 high-level contacts inside the u.s 343 00:13:17,030 --> 00:13:15,760 government ufos are in fact humans from 344 00:13:18,949 --> 00:13:17,040 the future 345 00:13:21,430 --> 00:13:18,959 listen to this answer that he gave on an 346 00:13:23,430 --> 00:13:21,440 interview with kurt jymungal on theories 347 00:13:26,310 --> 00:13:23,440 of everything when he was asked to 348 00:13:27,910 --> 00:13:26,320 comment on lou elizondo's now infamous 349 00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:27,920 somber comment 350 00:13:31,269 --> 00:13:29,360 did you see the interview that i had 351 00:13:33,910 --> 00:13:31,279 with luke where he mentioned somber this 352 00:13:35,670 --> 00:13:33,920 word somber okay what do you think he 353 00:13:37,509 --> 00:13:35,680 not meant by the word but meant by the 354 00:13:40,069 --> 00:13:37,519 implications 355 00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:40,079 that the world would be somber 356 00:14:08,710 --> 00:13:41,360 i 357 00:14:10,629 --> 00:14:08,720 phenomenon that go beyond far beyond the 358 00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:10,639 whole notion of just i mean i wish it 359 00:14:13,590 --> 00:14:12,240 was as simple as extraterrestrials 360 00:14:14,790 --> 00:14:13,600 getting in their little spaceships and 361 00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:14,800 flying from 362 00:14:19,509 --> 00:14:17,360 zeta reticuli and coming to this planet 363 00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:19,519 that's the easy explanation 364 00:14:26,470 --> 00:14:21,760 the explanation that 365 00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:26,480 i've been exploring in recent months is 366 00:14:30,389 --> 00:14:28,560 more complex and i've already spoken 367 00:14:31,670 --> 00:14:30,399 about this to some extent so i will say 368 00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:31,680 it involves 369 00:14:35,430 --> 00:14:33,839 the notion of 370 00:14:36,949 --> 00:14:35,440 future human 371 00:14:39,110 --> 00:14:36,959 time travel 372 00:14:41,269 --> 00:14:39,120 and look it's only hypothetical i'm not 373 00:14:44,230 --> 00:14:41,279 saying it's real 374 00:14:47,910 --> 00:14:44,240 but if what i'm being told about that is 375 00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:47,920 true then yeah i would be somber too 376 00:14:52,470 --> 00:14:50,160 why is that somber why is the fact or 377 00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:52,480 the potential that it might be humans in 378 00:14:55,590 --> 00:14:53,920 the future 379 00:14:56,949 --> 00:14:55,600 terrifying 380 00:14:58,870 --> 00:14:56,959 well i think i wouldn't be giving too 381 00:15:00,230 --> 00:14:58,880 much away if i said that 382 00:15:03,269 --> 00:15:00,240 you think about 383 00:15:05,509 --> 00:15:03,279 why since 1947 384 00:15:07,750 --> 00:15:05,519 has there been a phenomenon taking an 385 00:15:09,990 --> 00:15:07,760 interest in the human race particularly 386 00:15:13,430 --> 00:15:10,000 in nuclear weapons 387 00:15:15,110 --> 00:15:13,440 why is something or someone apparently 388 00:15:17,030 --> 00:15:15,120 trying to send us a message about 389 00:15:21,590 --> 00:15:17,040 nuclear weapons 390 00:15:24,550 --> 00:15:21,600 shut down by 391 00:15:27,590 --> 00:15:24,560 what slight nine refers to as 392 00:15:29,590 --> 00:15:27,600 remote sensor disassembly 393 00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:29,600 what's it trying to say 394 00:15:33,189 --> 00:15:31,440 what's coming 395 00:15:34,870 --> 00:15:33,199 imagine if and i'm only speaking 396 00:15:37,829 --> 00:15:34,880 hypothetically here 397 00:15:39,749 --> 00:15:37,839 imagine if future humans knew that if we 398 00:15:41,269 --> 00:15:39,759 continue on the path we're going there's 399 00:15:43,350 --> 00:15:41,279 going to be a nuclear war or a 400 00:15:45,590 --> 00:15:43,360 conflagration of some time 401 00:15:48,069 --> 00:15:45,600 wouldn't you want to head that off 402 00:15:49,590 --> 00:15:48,079 wouldn't you want to protect your kin 403 00:15:51,910 --> 00:15:49,600 and 404 00:15:53,749 --> 00:15:51,920 imagine if you were somebody in the u.s 405 00:15:56,710 --> 00:15:53,759 defense and intelligence establishment 406 00:16:00,310 --> 00:15:56,720 but was aware of that quite insane 407 00:16:01,509 --> 00:16:00,320 sounding idea that this might be a 408 00:16:03,509 --> 00:16:01,519 time thing 409 00:16:05,269 --> 00:16:03,519 a future war thing 410 00:16:07,350 --> 00:16:05,279 and imagine if you're worried that 411 00:16:10,310 --> 00:16:07,360 anything you do 412 00:16:13,269 --> 00:16:10,320 might jeopardize that time stream 413 00:16:14,230 --> 00:16:13,279 ah i see that's interesting 414 00:16:15,430 --> 00:16:14,240 that's 415 00:16:17,590 --> 00:16:15,440 where i'm 416 00:16:19,350 --> 00:16:17,600 working at the moment and i don't know 417 00:16:20,949 --> 00:16:19,360 if i'll ever get an answer 418 00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:20,959 wild right 419 00:16:25,350 --> 00:16:22,880 this conversation goes on from here and 420 00:16:26,629 --> 00:16:25,360 is a fascinating interview to listen to 421 00:16:28,710 --> 00:16:26,639 i'll link it up in the comments so you 422 00:16:30,310 --> 00:16:28,720 can go check it out for yourself 423 00:16:32,230 --> 00:16:30,320 although i'm not the biggest fan of the 424 00:16:34,150 --> 00:16:32,240 future human hypothesis 425 00:16:36,629 --> 00:16:34,160 ross coldheart is someone who is well 426 00:16:37,990 --> 00:16:36,639 respected not just in the ufo community 427 00:16:39,189 --> 00:16:38,000 but in the world of mainstream 428 00:16:40,870 --> 00:16:39,199 journalism 429 00:16:43,350 --> 00:16:40,880 he has a reputation for being a 430 00:16:45,509 --> 00:16:43,360 hard-nosed and fearless investigator who 431 00:16:47,670 --> 00:16:45,519 has taken on and taken down 432 00:16:50,069 --> 00:16:47,680 everyone from terrorists to organized 433 00:16:51,350 --> 00:16:50,079 crime syndicates so when ross says 434 00:16:53,749 --> 00:16:51,360 something like this 435 00:16:55,430 --> 00:16:53,759 it's hard not to listen and wonder if he 436 00:16:57,590 --> 00:16:55,440 might be onto something 437 00:16:59,350 --> 00:16:57,600 granted and cold heart himself is very 438 00:16:59,990 --> 00:16:59,360 aware of this and is the first to admit 439 00:17:02,230 --> 00:17:00,000 it 440 00:17:04,949 --> 00:17:02,240 his information is only as good as his 441 00:17:06,710 --> 00:17:04,959 sources and right now we don't know who 442 00:17:08,390 --> 00:17:06,720 those sources are or what their 443 00:17:09,590 --> 00:17:08,400 motivations might be for telling him 444 00:17:11,510 --> 00:17:09,600 these things 445 00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:11,520 the reality is that intelligence 446 00:17:15,429 --> 00:17:13,839 agencies lie all the time 447 00:17:18,150 --> 00:17:15,439 and it could be that he's being 448 00:17:20,309 --> 00:17:18,160 intentionally fed misinformation 449 00:17:22,230 --> 00:17:20,319 but coldheart's sterling reputation 450 00:17:24,309 --> 00:17:22,240 leads many to believe that this is very 451 00:17:26,150 --> 00:17:24,319 likely what he's being told by his 452 00:17:28,069 --> 00:17:26,160 contacts in the government 453 00:17:30,630 --> 00:17:28,079 whether or not it's true is still up for 454 00:17:32,950 --> 00:17:30,640 debate because here's the thing the 455 00:17:33,909 --> 00:17:32,960 future human hypothesis has some real 456 00:17:35,510 --> 00:17:33,919 issues 457 00:17:37,350 --> 00:17:35,520 there's not enough evidence to rule it 458 00:17:40,070 --> 00:17:37,360 out but like i said there's something 459 00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:40,080 about it that's just unsatisfying 460 00:17:44,070 --> 00:17:42,240 first of all let's say that cold heart 461 00:17:46,789 --> 00:17:44,080 sources are right and that they are here 462 00:17:48,390 --> 00:17:46,799 to save us from some impending disaster 463 00:17:50,710 --> 00:17:48,400 it begs the question 464 00:17:52,549 --> 00:17:50,720 why wouldn't they just tell us that 465 00:17:54,789 --> 00:17:52,559 why would they instead decide to dick 466 00:17:56,789 --> 00:17:54,799 around for 80 years or so popping up 467 00:17:58,310 --> 00:17:56,799 randomly but without any clear message 468 00:18:00,390 --> 00:17:58,320 or intention 469 00:18:02,230 --> 00:18:00,400 and i also don't know that i totally buy 470 00:18:03,990 --> 00:18:02,240 that even if there was a huge calamity 471 00:18:05,750 --> 00:18:04,000 of some kind that whatever remained of 472 00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:05,760 humans in the future would choose to go 473 00:18:08,470 --> 00:18:07,280 back and fix it 474 00:18:10,230 --> 00:18:08,480 think about it 475 00:18:12,630 --> 00:18:10,240 if you had the ability to go back in 476 00:18:14,710 --> 00:18:12,640 time and prevent some horrible atrocity 477 00:18:16,870 --> 00:18:14,720 from happening like if you could go back 478 00:18:19,110 --> 00:18:16,880 and prevent the holocaust from happening 479 00:18:21,909 --> 00:18:19,120 the knee-jerk reaction is that yes of 480 00:18:23,990 --> 00:18:21,919 course you'd do it in a heartbeat 481 00:18:26,150 --> 00:18:24,000 but how far back would you go 482 00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:26,160 and what would you change to be certain 483 00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:28,480 that it wouldn't happen and here's where 484 00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:30,320 it gets really messy 485 00:18:34,630 --> 00:18:32,559 what impact would making those changes 486 00:18:36,710 --> 00:18:34,640 in the past have on the people who are 487 00:18:38,950 --> 00:18:36,720 alive in the present 488 00:18:41,430 --> 00:18:38,960 what if no one lost a loved one in the 489 00:18:43,190 --> 00:18:41,440 horrors of the concentration camps 490 00:18:45,190 --> 00:18:43,200 what if all the high school sweethearts 491 00:18:46,789 --> 00:18:45,200 didn't have to go away to fight a war 492 00:18:49,990 --> 00:18:46,799 never to return 493 00:18:52,150 --> 00:18:50,000 it sounds fantastic like a miracle 494 00:18:54,549 --> 00:18:52,160 but then you consider all of the people 495 00:18:55,669 --> 00:18:54,559 who were born because those people never 496 00:18:57,750 --> 00:18:55,679 returned 497 00:18:59,590 --> 00:18:57,760 if you go back and save them 498 00:19:00,789 --> 00:18:59,600 how many people are you killing in the 499 00:19:02,789 --> 00:19:00,799 present 500 00:19:04,549 --> 00:19:02,799 and is causing them not to exist the 501 00:19:06,230 --> 00:19:04,559 same thing as killing them 502 00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:06,240 and what if you found out that saving 503 00:19:11,270 --> 00:19:08,240 millions of lives would mean causing 504 00:19:12,789 --> 00:19:11,280 millions more never to exist 505 00:19:13,830 --> 00:19:12,799 and how would you even make that 506 00:19:15,750 --> 00:19:13,840 decision 507 00:19:17,430 --> 00:19:15,760 do the people who are around first get 508 00:19:18,549 --> 00:19:17,440 priority when it comes to choosing who 509 00:19:20,070 --> 00:19:18,559 to save 510 00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:20,080 do you make the choice that saves the 511 00:19:23,029 --> 00:19:21,760 most lives or do you make the choice 512 00:19:25,750 --> 00:19:23,039 that causes the least amount of 513 00:19:28,150 --> 00:19:25,760 suffering and how would you even know 514 00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:28,160 any of those things ahead of time 515 00:19:32,310 --> 00:19:30,080 there are no easy answers when it comes 516 00:19:33,909 --> 00:19:32,320 to anything that involves time travel 517 00:19:35,990 --> 00:19:33,919 particularly when you start talking 518 00:19:37,750 --> 00:19:36,000 about altering timelines 519 00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:37,760 and that's where the primary issues with 520 00:19:43,510 --> 00:19:40,400 the future human hypothesis lie 521 00:19:45,510 --> 00:19:43,520 with the idea of time travel itself 522 00:19:47,750 --> 00:19:45,520 it causes all kinds of problems that we 523 00:19:49,350 --> 00:19:47,760 aren't sure how to solve and much like 524 00:19:51,830 --> 00:19:49,360 anyone who claims to have understood the 525 00:19:53,510 --> 00:19:51,840 plot of tenet i'm suspicious of anyone 526 00:19:55,270 --> 00:19:53,520 who claims to have any definitive 527 00:19:57,909 --> 00:19:55,280 answers on this issue 528 00:20:00,870 --> 00:19:57,919 because to start we don't even know for 529 00:20:03,430 --> 00:20:00,880 sure that time travel is even possible 530 00:20:05,190 --> 00:20:03,440 actually that's not true there is one 531 00:20:07,590 --> 00:20:05,200 kind of time travel that we know is 532 00:20:09,590 --> 00:20:07,600 possible but unfortunately it doesn't 533 00:20:11,750 --> 00:20:09,600 really help us with this scenario 534 00:20:13,669 --> 00:20:11,760 and that's because the only kind of time 535 00:20:16,470 --> 00:20:13,679 travel that we know how to do at least 536 00:20:17,510 --> 00:20:16,480 theoretically is going forward into the 537 00:20:19,510 --> 00:20:17,520 future 538 00:20:21,350 --> 00:20:19,520 but with this kind of time travel it's a 539 00:20:23,430 --> 00:20:21,360 one-way ticket 540 00:20:25,190 --> 00:20:23,440 we know that we can go forward in time 541 00:20:27,190 --> 00:20:25,200 through a property of einstein's theory 542 00:20:28,470 --> 00:20:27,200 of special relativity called time 543 00:20:30,710 --> 00:20:28,480 dilation 544 00:20:32,870 --> 00:20:30,720 so as a quick refresher we know from 545 00:20:35,430 --> 00:20:32,880 special relativity that time is not 546 00:20:37,190 --> 00:20:35,440 constant and that the faster you move or 547 00:20:40,149 --> 00:20:37,200 the stronger the gravitational field 548 00:20:41,270 --> 00:20:40,159 you're exposed to the slower time moves 549 00:20:43,110 --> 00:20:41,280 for you 550 00:20:44,789 --> 00:20:43,120 in a technical sense all of our 551 00:20:47,430 --> 00:20:44,799 astronauts who've spent any time in 552 00:20:49,909 --> 00:20:47,440 space are also time travelers because as 553 00:20:51,909 --> 00:20:49,919 they move at tremendous speeds in space 554 00:20:54,310 --> 00:20:51,919 time is actually moving fractionally 555 00:20:56,630 --> 00:20:54,320 slower for them than it is on the earth 556 00:20:59,110 --> 00:20:56,640 however the difference is only about 38 557 00:21:00,230 --> 00:20:59,120 microseconds per day so we don't really 558 00:21:02,310 --> 00:21:00,240 notice it 559 00:21:04,070 --> 00:21:02,320 but if we were able to put a human into 560 00:21:06,310 --> 00:21:04,080 a craft that could travel at near the 561 00:21:08,789 --> 00:21:06,320 speed of light it would be possible to 562 00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:08,799 send that person far into the future 563 00:21:12,549 --> 00:21:11,280 while only a few hours or days pass in 564 00:21:14,149 --> 00:21:12,559 their time 565 00:21:16,870 --> 00:21:14,159 but this only works when you're trying 566 00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:16,880 to go forward in time so obviously 567 00:21:20,789 --> 00:21:19,120 that's a problem because while it could 568 00:21:22,950 --> 00:21:20,799 give us clues as to how we might be able 569 00:21:25,270 --> 00:21:22,960 to visit future humans it doesn't 570 00:21:27,750 --> 00:21:25,280 explain how they could come to see us 571 00:21:29,590 --> 00:21:27,760 and if the trip is only one way all the 572 00:21:31,669 --> 00:21:29,600 primary theories for why the future 573 00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:31,679 humans might come here start to fall 574 00:21:34,710 --> 00:21:32,960 apart 575 00:21:36,870 --> 00:21:34,720 so let's go back to this idea of 576 00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:36,880 traveling backward in time 577 00:21:40,870 --> 00:21:38,640 sure we can't do it now but if we're 578 00:21:42,549 --> 00:21:40,880 talking about human technology thousands 579 00:21:43,669 --> 00:21:42,559 or even hundreds of thousands of years 580 00:21:45,190 --> 00:21:43,679 in the future 581 00:21:47,110 --> 00:21:45,200 it seems like we could probably figure 582 00:21:49,430 --> 00:21:47,120 it out eventually right 583 00:21:51,590 --> 00:21:49,440 so why are so many scientists adamant 584 00:21:52,870 --> 00:21:51,600 that traveling backwards in time isn't 585 00:21:54,950 --> 00:21:52,880 possible 586 00:21:56,470 --> 00:21:54,960 the main reason is the second law of 587 00:21:58,070 --> 00:21:56,480 thermodynamics 588 00:22:00,710 --> 00:21:58,080 almost all the laws of physics are 589 00:22:02,470 --> 00:22:00,720 symmetrical with regard to time which 590 00:22:05,270 --> 00:22:02,480 means that they would work the same way 591 00:22:07,190 --> 00:22:05,280 whether timer going backward or forward 592 00:22:09,590 --> 00:22:07,200 for instance imagine that you're playing 593 00:22:11,669 --> 00:22:09,600 pool you hit the cue ball with your pool 594 00:22:13,990 --> 00:22:11,679 cue and that cue ball hits the eight 595 00:22:15,110 --> 00:22:14,000 ball into the corner pocket you win 596 00:22:17,350 --> 00:22:15,120 hooray 597 00:22:19,270 --> 00:22:17,360 and if you wanted to understand exactly 598 00:22:21,669 --> 00:22:19,280 how much force was transferred from your 599 00:22:23,590 --> 00:22:21,679 hand to the pool ball to the eight ball 600 00:22:25,510 --> 00:22:23,600 you could use physics to figure that out 601 00:22:27,590 --> 00:22:25,520 it's just a math equation 602 00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:27,600 but if you could run time backward and 603 00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:29,520 watch as the eight ball pops back out of 604 00:22:33,270 --> 00:22:31,360 the corner pocket to roll back and hit 605 00:22:34,710 --> 00:22:33,280 the cue ball which rolls back to hit 606 00:22:36,789 --> 00:22:34,720 your pool cue 607 00:22:38,870 --> 00:22:36,799 you'd basically have the exact same math 608 00:22:40,310 --> 00:22:38,880 equation just in reverse 609 00:22:41,990 --> 00:22:40,320 if all the laws of physics were 610 00:22:43,510 --> 00:22:42,000 symmetrical in this way 611 00:22:45,110 --> 00:22:43,520 technically there would be no real 612 00:22:46,310 --> 00:22:45,120 reason for time to move forward instead 613 00:22:49,110 --> 00:22:46,320 of backward 614 00:22:50,549 --> 00:22:49,120 however the second law of thermodynamics 615 00:22:52,630 --> 00:22:50,559 is the exception 616 00:22:54,549 --> 00:22:52,640 this law states that over time 617 00:22:57,110 --> 00:22:54,559 everything moves from an ordered state 618 00:22:58,470 --> 00:22:57,120 to a disordered state this is called 619 00:23:00,070 --> 00:22:58,480 entropy 620 00:23:02,789 --> 00:23:00,080 think about what would happen if you put 621 00:23:04,950 --> 00:23:02,799 a drop of ink into a glass of water 622 00:23:07,110 --> 00:23:04,960 very quickly the drop starts to lose its 623 00:23:08,630 --> 00:23:07,120 shape it spreads out through the water 624 00:23:11,430 --> 00:23:08,640 and within a few minutes it will have 625 00:23:13,029 --> 00:23:11,440 lost its shape and structure entirely 626 00:23:15,350 --> 00:23:13,039 you won't even see the drop of ink in 627 00:23:17,350 --> 00:23:15,360 the water anymore the water will be dyed 628 00:23:19,350 --> 00:23:17,360 one consistent color as the ink 629 00:23:20,470 --> 00:23:19,360 distributes itself evenly within the 630 00:23:22,549 --> 00:23:20,480 glass 631 00:23:24,230 --> 00:23:22,559 no matter how many times you try it the 632 00:23:26,470 --> 00:23:24,240 ink in the glass will do this in a 633 00:23:28,310 --> 00:23:26,480 couple of minutes totally on its own 634 00:23:30,789 --> 00:23:28,320 even if you don't stir it 635 00:23:32,230 --> 00:23:30,799 and yet no matter how long you leave 636 00:23:33,669 --> 00:23:32,240 that glass there 637 00:23:36,470 --> 00:23:33,679 even if you could somehow leave it 638 00:23:39,510 --> 00:23:36,480 undisturbed for a thousand years the ink 639 00:23:41,350 --> 00:23:39,520 molecules would never come back together 640 00:23:43,590 --> 00:23:41,360 once the ink has distributed itself 641 00:23:45,029 --> 00:23:43,600 through the water you can't get the ink 642 00:23:47,430 --> 00:23:45,039 back out again 643 00:23:49,430 --> 00:23:47,440 the second law of thermodynamics is why 644 00:23:51,510 --> 00:23:49,440 you can mix the ingredients for a cake 645 00:23:53,510 --> 00:23:51,520 but you can't un-mix them 646 00:23:55,510 --> 00:23:53,520 and this doesn't just apply to cakes but 647 00:23:57,669 --> 00:23:55,520 to everything in the universe 648 00:23:58,870 --> 00:23:57,679 once something is mixed up it can't be 649 00:24:01,350 --> 00:23:58,880 unmixed 650 00:24:03,190 --> 00:24:01,360 this implies a directionality to time 651 00:24:04,630 --> 00:24:03,200 that many physicists think can't be 652 00:24:07,350 --> 00:24:04,640 overcome 653 00:24:09,110 --> 00:24:07,360 granted not everyone agrees and there 654 00:24:11,750 --> 00:24:09,120 are some physicists who think that 655 00:24:13,510 --> 00:24:11,760 backward time travel could be possible 656 00:24:15,669 --> 00:24:13,520 but most of them agree that even if you 657 00:24:17,110 --> 00:24:15,679 could travel backward in time you 658 00:24:19,750 --> 00:24:17,120 probably wouldn't be able to change 659 00:24:21,750 --> 00:24:19,760 anything the example that's often used 660 00:24:23,590 --> 00:24:21,760 is the grandfather paradox 661 00:24:25,269 --> 00:24:23,600 basically if you went back in time and 662 00:24:26,710 --> 00:24:25,279 killed your grandfather before your 663 00:24:28,630 --> 00:24:26,720 parent was born 664 00:24:30,549 --> 00:24:28,640 then you would never be born and if you 665 00:24:31,750 --> 00:24:30,559 were never born then who killed your 666 00:24:33,750 --> 00:24:31,760 grandfather 667 00:24:35,430 --> 00:24:33,760 many of these physicists suspect that if 668 00:24:36,950 --> 00:24:35,440 you went back in time and tried to 669 00:24:39,669 --> 00:24:36,960 change things that you would be 670 00:24:41,669 --> 00:24:39,679 prevented from doing so in some way 671 00:24:43,750 --> 00:24:41,679 like let's say you went back in time to 672 00:24:45,269 --> 00:24:43,760 try to prevent the covet pandemic by 673 00:24:46,470 --> 00:24:45,279 stopping patient zero from getting 674 00:24:48,470 --> 00:24:46,480 infected 675 00:24:50,310 --> 00:24:48,480 the theory is that even if you were able 676 00:24:52,310 --> 00:24:50,320 to stop that from happening 677 00:24:53,590 --> 00:24:52,320 the pandemic would still happen in some 678 00:24:55,830 --> 00:24:53,600 other way 679 00:24:57,830 --> 00:24:55,840 maybe you would become patient zero 680 00:24:59,669 --> 00:24:57,840 it's all highly speculative because 681 00:25:01,269 --> 00:24:59,679 while it's fun to think about 682 00:25:03,190 --> 00:25:01,279 time travel doesn't just break our 683 00:25:04,950 --> 00:25:03,200 brains but it breaks everything that we 684 00:25:05,909 --> 00:25:04,960 know about the laws of physics and how 685 00:25:07,510 --> 00:25:05,919 they work 686 00:25:09,430 --> 00:25:07,520 which is why tenant didn't make any 687 00:25:10,870 --> 00:25:09,440 goddamn sense and i stand by that so 688 00:25:12,310 --> 00:25:10,880 don't at me 689 00:25:15,269 --> 00:25:12,320 so that's where we'll leave the future 690 00:25:17,190 --> 00:25:15,279 human hypothesis for now and next week 691 00:25:19,830 --> 00:25:17,200 we'll explore yet another potential 692 00:25:21,350 --> 00:25:19,840 explanation for the ufo phenomenon 693 00:25:23,430 --> 00:25:21,360 yes there are more 694 00:25:25,510 --> 00:25:23,440 and as we go further down this rabbit 695 00:25:28,710 --> 00:25:25,520 hole the people and ideas we will 696 00:25:33,010 --> 00:25:28,720 encounter grow curiouser and curiouser
