Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.

0:03

The Joe Rogan Experience.

0:05

Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.

0:09

Gentlemen, here we go.

0:14

Terrence, thank you for coming back.

0:17

It was a lot of fun having you on the first time.

0:19

Obviously, a lot of people wanted to talk to you after they heard all these

0:22

ideas of yours.

0:24

And then my friend Eric reached out and he said he would love to do it.

0:28

Eric, one of my most brilliant friends, tell everybody your background, like

0:33

your academic background so people understand what you...

0:36

Sure.

0:36

So I'm a Ph.D. in mathematics, specifically in mathematical physics.

0:41

I've had positions in economics, mathematics, and physics departments at places

0:48

like MIT, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Harvard, after my doctorate, Oxford.

0:56

And I'm a podcaster in part...

1:00

Very good podcaster.

1:01

Boosted.

1:02

Bring it back to Portal.

1:03

You have a lot to do with all of these things, Joe.

1:06

Listen, one of my favorite episodes of any podcast was your interview with Werner

1:09

Herzog.

1:10

Oh, man.

1:10

That was a great episode.

1:12

Have you had him in here?

1:12

I have not, but I would love to.

1:14

Because it seems to me like that's the conversation I want to listen to.

1:17

I would like to corner him because I believe that Grizzly Man was a secret

1:20

comedy.

1:21

I really do.

1:22

There's something about the way he edited Grizzly Man.

1:24

I'm like, this motherfucker is being funny on purpose.

1:27

I know he is.

1:28

I know he's like editing these like short clips.

1:32

So it's the guy's so ridiculous that you start laughing.

1:35

I didn't see it because I...

1:37

You haven't seen Grizzly Man?

1:38

We have different tastes.

1:39

How dare you?

1:40

By the way...

1:40

It's a work of art.

1:41

I need to also just say that I was not...

1:44

Terrence, I think, you know, I heard him on TMZ.

1:47

I was not looking for a debate.

1:49

I wanted to make sure that Terrence had his position steel-manned so that

1:53

anything that he didn't know how to do within mathematics that was legit gave a

1:58

chance to put his best foot forward before he got, like, reviewed.

2:03

And I didn't ask to come on.

2:06

You asked to have me on.

2:07

I'm happy to do it because I'm a friend of the show.

2:09

Well, you reached out about the episode specifically.

2:11

Yeah, sure.

2:11

And I felt like if anybody could talk to Terrence and actually understand what

2:14

they're talking about.

2:15

Yeah, and after I watched the interview with you and Brian Keating, I realized

2:20

that you weren't trying to eviscerate me or anything like that.

2:25

You actually wanted to hear a well-put-together argument concerning these

2:31

things.

2:32

So I appreciated you taking the time to come and examine these things and love

2:36

to hear your stuff.

2:37

But I wanted to say thank you to you, Joe, and for putting me on the show

2:42

initially and for your audience for how they responded and, you know, the

2:47

support and the people that were against it because it raises the idea of

2:50

critical thinking because that's what we're supposed to be doing at this

2:54

crucial time is the critical thinking.

2:56

So I thank all the haters and I thank all the supporters and I thank the people

3:00

that's on the fence.

3:02

And I'm hoping that today we can move people over to one side or the other.

3:07

Well, at least we can better inform people.

3:10

And Terrence, it's been really cool to meet you because I've heard about you

3:14

and you're an exceptional human being.

3:16

You really are.

3:16

You're very, very unusual.

3:18

For a guy to be that good of an actor, I almost always dismiss them as being a

3:22

moron or at least crazy or at least crazy, you know, like, but in a different

3:26

kind of crazy, like, like, you're super friendly and you're, it's, your recall

3:32

is insane.

3:33

But I wanted you to talk to someone who's had a deep education in it and let's

3:37

see, like, what, what he believes about these ideas and maybe you guys can

3:42

collaborate or just, like, let's start from Eric.

3:46

Like, what at, what out of the podcast that I did with Terrence really stood

3:49

out with you or something that you wanted to.

3:51

Well, what I thought is, I got to, I have to be honest, I've been listening.

3:56

I was not so happy with certain things that happened in the podcast.

3:59

And then I started hearing the response to it.

4:02

And I was much more infuriated by the response than anything I heard in the

4:06

podcast because I thought that a lot of people just use their position of

4:10

greater formal education in some of these areas to be jerks.

4:14

And to be really dismissive and pretend that they couldn't understand things

4:17

that you were saying.

4:18

And I didn't.

4:20

No, I'm not kidding.

4:21

I heard.

4:21

Because I think this thing goes out to millions of people and whatever, let me

4:25

just say something else positive about Terrence.

4:28

What he just did was very big.

4:29

He said, thank you to the haters.

4:31

I haven't gotten to that plane of existence yet.

4:33

You've got to stay offline.

4:34

I keep telling you.

4:35

No, no, no, no.

4:36

Some people just shouldn't be reading the comments.

4:38

It's not the online stuff.

4:39

It's the academic stuff.

4:40

The academic stuff is really vicious stuff.

4:44

And it's always with like a pretend smile on the face.

4:47

So it's the worst.

4:48

And what I thought I would do is I can't critique a man if I haven't built a

4:53

model of what he's actually saying in my own mind that he agrees with.

4:59

Like, in other words, if I start coming after Terrence and saying, I think this

5:02

stuff here is bullshit, and he's like, I didn't say that.

5:05

That's what you inferred from what I wrote.

5:07

Then I've just basically insulted a person incorrectly.

5:11

And so, and if I praise something, I don't know whether I built that in my mind

5:15

or he built it.

5:16

So the first thing I thought we would do is I would try to recapitulate what I

5:20

understand of Terrence's sort of grand arc and see whether or not I can steel

5:25

man it.

5:26

And then Terrence can say yes, and then I can evaluate it.

5:30

But until we do that, I don't know whether I'm actually reacting to the real

5:33

man.

5:33

I think that's really important.

5:34

And what you said about the viciousness of academics, I think that's just a

5:39

human thing that exists at the highest levels where people are doing something

5:44

very difficult.

5:45

And there's a lot of stress and anxiety involved.

5:47

And you attack even your peers because your biggest fear is your peers

5:51

attacking you.

5:52

And usually, generally, it happens with people that are getting more

5:57

recognition than someone who thinks they should be getting more think deserve.

6:02

Like, someone thinks they should be getting more recognition.

6:05

They see someone getting recognition, especially for something that perhaps

6:08

could be controversial.

6:09

And then they start attacking them viciously.

6:11

But it's generally people that wish they got more attention.

6:15

It's part of the thing.

6:16

Sure.

6:17

If you think about it, though, if you think about the number of people in

6:20

podcasting who sort of have tried to lift each other up, it's pretty good,

6:24

right?

6:24

Yes.

6:25

Like, you, Lex, Sam Harris, all sorts of people have been good to each other.

6:29

And one of the reasons that is is that there's enough money in it.

6:32

What happened in academics is that it went into a contractive state in which

6:37

you killed or you died, right?

6:39

And so, basically, the ethics of academics plummeted after the early 70s.

6:44

It was always, it was always very competitive.

6:46

But really what it is is it's the Hunger Games.

6:50

And, you know, in acting, for example, if there's money among the elite set,

6:55

people have trouble with each other.

6:58

Same thing in tech.

6:59

They kind of fight each other, but they all get rich together and then they

7:02

bury hatchets and things like that.

7:03

You don't see that as much in academics because it's kill or be killed.

7:08

And so we've had an implosion ethically.

7:11

And so one of the things that I wanted to do was to try to just begin by steel

7:15

manning because I've been really disappointed in a lot of the critique that Terrence

7:19

has experienced.

7:20

The funny thing is the scientists that attacked, most of them was upset that I

7:26

got into their lane and climbed into their lane talking about science.

7:32

But here, they're not inside a lab somewhere.

7:35

They're not in Cambridge or Oxford somewhere.

7:39

They're on social media.

7:41

They're on the entertainment world.

7:43

And I've never sat up and said, oh, you're full of this because you have no

7:47

business doing this.

7:49

But they got upset that I'm talking about the foundational problems associated

7:54

with mathematics that's held us back.

7:57

But I think people really care about these ideas, though.

8:01

What they should do is talk about the ideas.

8:03

It's the personal attacks that are attached to the ideas by people that want to

8:06

be taken seriously.

8:07

It fucks the whole thing up because, like, either you're correct or you're

8:11

incorrect.

8:12

Tell me what you think is right, and then you tell me what you think is right.

8:16

Let's work this out.

8:17

But this personal attack shit, if you're talking about something as complex as

8:21

the things that you discussed on this podcast, there's no room for bullshit.

8:25

There's no room for bullshit.

8:26

You're dealing with such highly complex ideas.

8:28

It says that, and to his credit, you know, I found that interview you were

8:32

doing with that woman where you're wearing a wig.

8:34

I was doing the movie.

8:35

I was in the middle of doing fight night, and they had a shooting.

8:39

I had to do the interview in between shots.

8:41

It's amazing.

8:42

It's an amazing interview with the wig on.

8:45

It's amazing.

8:46

Well, I remember that line from High Heels, you could put that wig head on your

8:48

head.

8:49

But, bro, you could pull that wig off.

8:50

You could just start to speak it at Oxford with that wig on.

8:53

Fuck it.

8:53

But anyway, so Terrence was there, wigged out, and he was saying this.

8:58

Wigged out, literally?

8:58

Literally wigged out.

9:00

And he was saying this thing.

9:01

He said, look, all I care about is the truth.

9:02

And that freed me up to come on, right?

9:04

Because the spectrum of Terrence, from the best to the worst, is a broad

9:10

spectrum.

9:11

And he seriously wants to improve what he's doing.

9:14

He cares about it.

9:15

And if I can play a part in that, I think he's...

9:21

I love you.

9:21

I want to offer to you, I want to be able to show you the things that I tried

9:26

to show Neil deGrasse Tyson

9:27

that he would not even really take a look at.

9:30

But no, he did take a look at it, right?

9:32

He responded in a long video recently.

9:34

Yeah, but his response was disingenuous.

9:37

Guys, may I make a recommendation?

9:38

Let's start with the ideas, because I think we all care about those.

9:42

Yes, for sure.

9:43

But hold, please, because this is an important thing that just came out.

9:45

He was so disingenuous, because I sent him a long email after he sent me back

9:51

the red line

9:51

thing, thanking him for reviewing it and saying, look forward to when we can

9:55

discuss these things,

9:56

because I sent the treaties to him so we could discuss that on the show.

10:00

His whole point was, I'm going to bring you on my show, and we're going to

10:04

talk.

10:04

So here's the stuff that we're going to talk about that I would like to talk

10:07

about.

10:08

He never followed up from that point forward, just sent one-line emails.

10:12

Any other thing you got, you got to go to somebody else.

10:15

So he's pretended like, oh, I was trying to be, you know, very helpful, but

10:20

that's not what

10:22

the email trails show.

10:23

So he did make this one very large response, though, right?

10:27

He did.

10:29

He did go over the treaties, very, like, all the red line stuff.

10:33

He only has so much time, you know?

10:35

He might be in a position to defend him, but he might be in a position where he's

10:39

like, look,

10:40

I just said what I said about all this stuff.

10:42

Good luck.

10:42

I don't have the time to, like, sit here and discuss these things in depth.

10:47

Maybe that's possible.

10:48

That's great.

10:49

But it's like you invited me to come and do your show.

10:51

I put this stuff together to come and talk to you on your show, and then there's

10:55

no follow-up

10:56

with the show.

10:57

Got it.

10:58

So where's the beer?

10:59

I understand it.

11:00

I mean, I understand your perspective for sure.

11:02

It's like, come on, man.

11:03

If you're going to do it, do it.

11:04

He got to a point where it's like a thing where he thinks it's ridiculous, and

11:08

he doesn't

11:08

want to engage it on the show.

11:10

Ridiculous.

11:10

Amen.

11:11

And I believe that, but if you've got 97, 98 patents and four supersymmetrical

11:16

systems

11:17

that you're claiming you have, and all you need is someone to review them.

11:20

I'm going to have to jump in.

11:21

I don't want to do it this way.

11:22

That'd be great.

11:23

Listen, we're just having a conversation.

11:24

This isn't about Tyson.

11:25

What's the problem?

11:26

This is a colleague of mine.

11:27

Yeah, this isn't about Tyson, and I love him.

11:29

I love him.

11:30

I grew up watching him, and I appreciated him.

11:32

But what is the problem?

11:33

We're defending him.

11:34

I certainly am.

11:35

Because Neil's a complicated guy, and part of what's going on is that there's a

11:41

problem

11:42

in general, which we scientists do not behave honestly with respect to certain

11:48

things.

11:48

We'll make these claims, but science is about communication and challenging

11:53

ideas and all

11:54

these things, and everybody can be a scientist, and all these sorts of...

11:57

of things that we say.

11:59

Science is interesting.

11:59

Science is fun.

12:00

Well, very often it's not interesting.

12:02

Very often it's not fun.

12:03

Very often you can't really say that everybody can do science, because it's

12:06

super demanding.

12:08

We don't welcome people.

12:10

You know, you're a mathematician, too.

12:12

We'll say that to kids, and then the kid will say something, and then we'll say,

12:16

be quiet.

12:16

And so, this is not peculiar to Neil.

12:22

It's like science in general has portrayed itself as a place where everyone's

12:27

welcome.

12:28

We debate out the ideas.

12:30

We have the scientific method to tell us what's true and what isn't.

12:33

And that's disingenuous.

12:35

It's not really how the game works.

12:37

And this is going to involve peer review.

12:40

It's going to involve people who are dual in terms of both doing research and

12:44

being public

12:45

figures.

12:45

People who are public figures who we think of as researchers who aren't really

12:49

doing much

12:49

research.

12:51

People who are, you know, pushing crazy agendas in public without a recognition

12:56

that their

12:57

colleagues don't think much of what they're doing.

12:59

I mean, this is a very complicated story that Terrence has walked into.

13:02

And I have to think about my colleagues, and I have to think about how they

13:08

hear things, what

13:09

they will say.

13:10

And so, I am in part speaking to your audience, but I'm also partially speaking

13:13

to a thousand

13:14

people who are seeing this at a different level.

13:18

But just for the record, like I said, I grew up watching Neil and having

13:24

someone that was

13:25

light-skinned, that looked like me, up there making these grand steps towards

13:31

helping people

13:32

to understand.

13:32

I admire him, and I still would like the opportunity to sit down and show him

13:39

these things and have

13:41

that beer, because I think that he will be pleased once he sees the supersymmetry

13:47

associated

13:48

with it, and understand where all of the passion came from.

13:52

And I hope that other scientists will take a look at it, but that's the whole

13:55

point of

13:56

us doing this.

13:56

I don't know how serious he is about that beer.

13:58

No.

13:59

Right, because I saw him say that, right?

14:01

Mm-hmm.

14:02

And, you know, that was a very complicated thing that he did.

14:06

And it had many layers as to whether or not you took it on the surface, you

14:10

took the hidden

14:11

meaning, and you took the meaning below that.

14:13

And so plunging right into that from the beginning, in my opinion, is not

14:19

served very well by having

14:20

the three of us here.

14:21

Because the first thing is, what is the nature of Terence's ideas?

14:25

I don't think Neil actually understood some of your ideas, to be entirely

14:27

honest.

14:27

No.

14:28

And what he forgot is, when I say one times one equals two, that's a metaphor

14:35

for challenging

14:36

the status quo.

14:37

Despite the fact that the square root of two has all of its issues, when you

14:43

cube it or you

14:44

multiply it by two, which creates a contradiction, despite the fact that the

14:49

square root of two

14:50

has a problem with the prime numbers, the fact that they call number two a

14:55

prime number,

14:56

when it's clearly a composite number.

14:59

Any other prime number, and I'll jump into this, any prime number that you

15:03

subtract from

15:04

another prime number, you always get a composite number, except with the

15:08

situation of the number

15:09

two.

15:10

And there's so many people that, and that's why the prime numbers are

15:14

unpredictable, because

15:15

of that problem associated.

15:17

So there's been a problem with two for so long.

15:20

Two is different.

15:20

I mean, you will find that mathematicians will often talk about proving

15:27

something for characteristic

15:28

not equal to two.

15:30

So they'll single out two as being just very, very different.

15:33

So look that up when you, when we're done.

15:35

Yeah, but why?

15:36

But why would they do that?

15:37

Because in part of what you're saying, the prime two, two, it does belong as a

15:41

prime,

15:41

but it is also special.

15:43

And in other words, I have the opportunity to straw man you if I want to,

15:48

because what

15:49

you just said sounded crazy.

15:50

And I also have the possibility to steal man you.

15:54

So all the algebraic topologists who just heard, you know, for characteristic

15:57

not equals

15:58

to two, they're like saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fair.

16:01

And so in part, by just jumping into the middle of this, we don't have the

16:06

benefit of putting

16:07

your best foot forward.

16:09

Because, you know, if you say one times one equals two, everybody knows that

16:12

that's crazy.

16:13

But what you actually may mean, and what the fact that you don't use certain

16:18

terms, or

16:18

the fact that you use certain pronunciations that communicate to me something

16:23

very positive,

16:24

which is that you taught yourself, you learn the stuff from reading about it,

16:27

because nobody

16:28

taught you, or you wouldn't pronounce certain words the way you pronounce them.

16:31

True.

16:31

Yeah.

16:32

So, you know, in part, you always have the ability to make fun of somebody who

16:36

pronounces

16:36

a word the way it's read on the page.

16:38

And then you also have the opportunity to say, holy cow, that guy actually

16:41

taught himself.

16:42

That's more impressive.

16:43

And so, so in part, what I want to do is I want to start by giving you your

16:47

best, your

16:48

best foot forward and see if I even understood what you said when you went into

16:52

this whole flower

16:53

of life riff that becomes your, your larger theory.

16:58

And the only way I know how to do this is to see whether or not I actually grasped

17:04

it.

17:04

Let's go.

17:05

Because, you know, I also had to spend some time.

17:07

I didn't spend a ton of time.

17:08

But, you know, my time is valuable.

17:11

Your time is valuable.

17:12

So, let's do this thing.

17:13

Yeah.

17:13

So, I'll follow your lead.

17:15

What's going on with the number two?

17:17

The CIA is in charge of the number two.

17:21

What's up with two?

17:22

Two's different.

17:23

Because of what he said.

17:25

You know, the fact that the even odd distinction.

17:27

Isn't that odd, though?

17:28

That two's different?

17:29

What a strange thing.

17:30

The problem that's associated with the number two is because of the identity

17:34

principle,

17:35

which I call the Jim Crow laws of mathematics.

17:38

That A times 20.

17:41

I know.

17:42

You don't want to go into it yet.

17:43

No, no, no.

17:44

Let's get into it.

17:44

Just as a base.

17:45

Just as a base.

17:46

You're going right into his neighborhood.

17:47

Just as a base.

17:48

You're in the mathematical hood right now.

17:51

Trying to keep a black man down.

17:52

No.

17:52

You have Marie von Franz, who argued about the problems associated with the

18:00

identity principle.

18:02

You got Kurt Godel, who talked about it.

18:04

You got Wells.

18:05

All of them said it made everything incommensurable, just because they gave

18:11

that identity principle

18:12

to the number one.

18:14

And that has been the stumbling block for mathematicians, because it's what's

18:20

held

18:20

everybody behind, because they keep trying to make that work.

18:23

Am I wrong?

18:24

Yeah, you're wrong if we do it that way.

18:26

I mean, in other words, I can take...

18:29

Is anything that he's saying correct?

18:31

Terrence has several influences, which, again, I don't think it's clear to me.

18:39

I have to ask him questions to find out whether I'm even right.

18:42

Look, one of the problems is, is I may be wrong about my model of Terrence.

18:46

This is the first time I'm meeting him.

18:47

I didn't know who he was before the podcast.

18:50

And I just, I need to know whether or not I'm even building the right model of

18:54

Terrence,

18:55

because otherwise it's just silly to have me here, and I'm going to critique

18:59

what I built

18:59

in my own mind from Terrence's words.

19:01

Right.

19:01

What I would love, what I was hoping is that you would be able to explain your

19:06

geometric

19:08

unity model.

19:08

That's a different day.

19:10

This is about you.

19:11

Okay, then, all right, then...

19:14

But you guys can definitely get it.

19:15

That could be a whole nother podcast.

19:16

But what about what he was saying is incorrect just now?

19:21

He's saying things that are often at a level that are allegorical, and you

19:28

could make them...

19:29

So Terrence sometimes mentions something called category theory, right?

19:32

And there's a weird way in which category theory can take something that seems

19:37

to be an analogy

19:38

and make it precise and powerful, right?

19:43

So you can have two systems that don't look the same, and you spot an analogy

19:48

between them,

19:49

and then you say, holy cow, there's an exact mapping of one system onto another

19:56

in which it was unexpected

20:01

that those are the same structure.

20:04

So, for example, we're going to get into something about multiplication, where

20:08

Terrence has an issue

20:08

with multiplication, but to the best of my knowledge, you don't have an issue

20:12

with addition.

20:13

I don't have an issue with multiplication either.

20:16

Well, then one times one is what?

20:18

One times one should equal two.

20:20

And action times an action...

20:22

If you can show me one place in the universe...

20:24

You just shifted frames.

20:26

No, no, no.

20:26

Show me one place in the universe, one natural observable phenomenon, where one

20:33

times one equals

20:34

one, where an action times an action doesn't have a reaction.

20:37

So then you just went into some...

20:40

There's a concept called logomachie, which is arguing over words.

20:43

And what you want is not to be caught...

20:47

If I can beat you in a word game or you can beat me in a word...

20:49

You can beat me in a word game.

20:50

I didn't go to MIT or anything like that.

20:53

By the way, I heard you with B.B. King, where he was having trouble improv-ing

20:58

on the spot.

20:59

And your mind just rescued him with a partial rhyme.

21:02

I really appreciate that, because he's one of my favorites.

21:04

Yeah, he invited me to do a show.

21:05

That was a big deal.

21:06

I got to play with him.

21:07

I was scared to play guitar, though, with him.

21:09

I should have put off the guitar.

21:10

But I was scared.

21:11

I was scared to get on the stage and play with him.

21:14

It's B.B. King, man.

21:15

I sang with him, but I...

21:16

Yeah, it's B.B. King.

21:17

Thank you for appreciating that.

21:19

So, let's get to this flower of life, because that's sort of the beginning of

21:25

this exploration.

21:26

But can you correct what he said about one time...

21:30

What is, like, what about an action and a reaction?

21:32

So, I was trying to get to something.

21:34

Do you have a problem with the way we do addition?

21:37

I understand...

21:38

The addition is the addition, the subtraction, and division is all right beyond...

21:42

The only problems I have is dividing by...

21:44

You can't divide by zero, but you can multiply by zero.

21:47

And if division is the inverse operation of multiplication, then you should be

21:53

able to divide by it.

21:54

But if you divide by zero, you end up with an infinity.

21:57

And there was a great system put together by Marco Rodin, the vortexual-based

22:03

math system, where they removed the zero.

22:06

But it's able to predict all the things necessary.

22:10

It was 100% precise as a model, but it's been abandoned or it's been relegated

22:16

to the outskirts.

22:18

Don't know that.

22:18

We do do things where sometimes we can divide by zero.

22:21

We have concepts like the pointed infinity, where you can complete a structure

22:26

that the original structure can't accommodate a problem, an operation, but you

22:32

can complete it to a larger system in which that thing does become sensible.

22:37

So, as an example of the one times one, assume that Terence doesn't have a big

22:42

problem with addition, because addition doesn't have the division by zero

22:46

problem.

22:47

It is the case that if you take any two numbers, A and B, two real numbers,

22:56

right, or make them positive, and take the natural logs of those two numbers

23:03

and add those together, then you take the exponent of that.

23:08

So, we haven't done a times operation at all.

23:10

Right.

23:11

Right?

23:12

The exponential of the LN of A plus LN of B.

23:15

That is equal to A times B.

23:19

In other words, addition and multiplication are what we would say is isomorphic,

23:25

or an ordinary person would say exactly the same thing.

23:30

So, in other words, if you don't allow me multiplication, but you would allow

23:34

me, because you like waves, so with waves you need exponentials and you need

23:38

natural logarithms, there's no way of changing the law of multiplication and

23:45

accepting the law of addition, because they're the same system.

23:49

The multiplication should initially started as exaggerated addition.

23:54

That was the whole point of it.

23:55

Well, the precise statement would be that the positive real numbers under

24:00

multiplication, with the identity element being the multiplicative identity,

24:06

being one, are isomorphic to the total real numbers under addition, with the

24:12

additive identity being zero.

24:15

And the natural logarithm and exponential are group homomorphisms that connect

24:20

the two, with one being the other's inverse.

24:23

So, by the principle of explosion, the reason that people are in part going to

24:27

freak out about your stuff is that we have a vulnerability.

24:31

And that vulnerability says that from a single contradiction, if you can sneak

24:36

one contradiction through TSA, the entire airport collapses.

24:41

Everything that we do just is destroyed.

24:45

And so, the idea is that the security on mathematics and physics and physical

24:51

sciences is extraordinary for outside ideas, because the first contradiction in

24:56

the unity of knowledge destroys all of it.

24:59

If you've ever seen one of these warehouse racking collapses, where some forklift

25:04

guy hits some strut and the entire warehouse goes, that's what you're dealing

25:08

with, with the principle of explosion.

25:10

And that's the problem with the identity principle, that they've been trying to

25:16

work on for years.

25:17

For years.

25:18

Norman J.

25:19

Wildberger talks about it.

25:22

It is what's, because you have to cancel conservation of energy, and you have

25:28

to cancel the action and reactionary laws in order for one times one.

25:34

Now, I understand.

25:35

You're seeing one, one time.

25:38

But because of the associative law, the associative law that says, if A and B

25:43

are both positive integers, then A is to be added to itself, in multiplication,

25:49

A is to be added to itself as many units as is indicated by B.

25:53

Well, hang on there.

25:55

If I change the word itself to the word zero, which you're going to say, there

25:59

is no zero.

26:00

Why do I say there's no zero?

26:03

Because you have, well, this is why I keep trying to get back to what I

26:06

understand of Terrence's underlying metaphysics.

26:09

What I'm saying is to say zero, zero is supposed to represent no thing, nothing

26:15

whatsoever.

26:16

But they have zero as a number, set up as a number.

26:20

But to say no thing, your brain creates a chemical structure even in saying

26:25

nothing.

26:26

So there is what I'm saying philosophically.

26:30

There's a difference between the empty set and zero.

26:32

The empty set, that's the difference.

26:33

So if I say to you, Terrence, what is the collection of kittens that you have

26:39

sold to North Korea to be used for spare parts?

26:43

You would say, it's the empty set.

26:46

I've never sold a kitten.

26:47

I say, hey, Terrence, what is the number of kittens that you've sold for the

26:52

internal organs to North Korea?

26:54

You would say zero.

26:55

So zero is the...

26:58

I would say none, yes.

26:59

That's right.

26:59

So there is a zero.

27:01

But to multiply something by the nothing, to multiply something by nothing, don't

27:08

they have to be dimensionally equal to in order to multiply?

27:12

Like you can't multiply a human by an ant because they're not dimensionally

27:16

equal.

27:17

Well, if there was a thing called a human ant.

27:19

No, that was your point about dollars, right?

27:22

What dollar times a dollar, that was a problem that people...

27:26

It's not a Dewey Decimal system.

27:27

It's not a Dewey Decimal.

27:28

No, the problem comes up with the Dewey Decimal system, why a dollar times a

27:33

dollar can be different values based on different currencies.

27:36

That was the point of that.

27:38

I was pointing out, hey, the Dewey Decimal system is whack.

27:41

Terrence makes a correct point, that we say one times one equals one, but if

27:46

you say a dollar times a dollar is not a sensible thing, unless a dollar

27:50

squared is a unit that you can interpret.

27:53

That was your point about dimensionality.

27:55

Right.

27:56

Now, in the moment, what is a dollar squared?

27:58

What does a dollar squared become?

27:59

But since the dollar is no longer based on a hard asset, it's no longer gold,

28:05

it's just an integer.

28:07

It's just an integer in a computer being multiplied.

28:10

It's a unit of account.

28:11

It's a unit of account, but it's an integer that's still...

28:14

Now you're able to multiply it under different currencies.

28:17

States are not allowed to print dollars, but states are allowed to print as

28:21

much change.

28:22

So who's to say that the state isn't saying, okay, we're going to make, we're

28:26

going to print...

28:27

We can get into seniorage, which is the concept of theft that occurs when

28:31

either the Fed or a counterfeiter creates more script, thereby devaluing,

28:37

increasing the unit.

28:40

The number of units that are in circulation decreases the value per unit.

28:45

But my claim is, you're going to do a series of things.

28:47

Like, I've watched how you deal with people and interaction.

28:50

And you've created an incredible effect.

28:55

Rick Rubin, the hip-hop producer...

28:57

Yeah, he did my album.

28:59

Okay, well, that makes some sense.

29:01

Because the first thing that happens is I'm awakened by a message from Rick Rubin.

29:05

He's like, how come you can't explain physics the way Terrence Howard explains

29:08

it?

29:08

That's not a way to get on my good side at 8 o'clock in the morning.

29:11

Yeah, but he's probably baiting you.

29:12

What?

29:13

Rick's probably baiting you.

29:14

He's always baiting you.

29:15

He's the best.

29:15

He's the best.

29:16

I'm trying to explain physics the way you explain it.

29:19

Well, okay.

29:20

I'm looking for a partnership at the end of this.

29:22

That's what I'm hoping to win you over as a proselyter.

29:25

You can try.

29:26

I'm hoping that the information does that.

29:29

There's at least one area that you have won me over in, which I'm very excited

29:32

about.

29:33

But I'd like to get back to you.

29:35

What is that area?

29:36

Don't leave us hanging.

29:37

The linchpin.

29:38

We'll get to it.

29:39

Yeah, but you can't leave us hanging.

29:41

Well, I'm trying to get back.

29:42

Look, I'm trying to do a service to this.

29:43

Listen, let me let you talk.

29:46

You're just going to talk.

29:47

Stop trying to control everything, you freak.

29:49

He's got a plan.

29:52

I know.

29:52

He's got a very rigid plan.

29:54

Can I have a good time?

29:56

Can I get an ayahuasca, Chino?

29:57

Actually, is there a way to bring the temperature?

30:03

Yeah, we can lower the temperature in here.

30:05

Yeah, because I'm schvitzing.

30:06

But you are wearing a jacket, sir.

30:08

Well, because I'm trying to be professional.

30:10

That's hilarious.

30:11

Isn't that adorable?

30:12

Like, I like how you dress, man.

30:13

I do pictures of that cold costume.

30:14

Beautiful geometric pattern on your hoodie.

30:16

Looks much more comfortable.

30:17

This thing you're doing, everybody does that.

30:20

Smart as you are, you can wear a fucking dirty Nirvana t-shirt.

30:24

You come in.

30:26

You don't need this nonsense suit.

30:27

Although I do enjoy a good suit.

30:29

But most of the stuff that I've been pointing out...

30:33

Don't try to control everything.

30:34

The stuff I've been pointing out has been the blaring inconsistencies that they

30:39

shove down

30:40

until you just accept.

30:42

And if I hadn't had...

30:44

If I didn't come up with a separate cosmogony...

30:46

I didn't come up with it.

30:48

If a separate cosmogony hadn't been handed to me, given to me, that's why I

30:53

explained that thing.

30:54

Okay, I'm going to be quiet.

30:56

Let's start with the flower of life.

30:58

You're wearing it on your shirt.

30:59

I'm wearing some aberration of the flower.

31:02

That's right.

31:02

So I think the way I came to understand what you're doing...

31:05

Because it's confusing, right?

31:07

And the one thing I can't go with you on is I can't go on the Nantucket Slay

31:11

Ride

31:11

where we're talking about the Bose-Einstein condensate and then we're talking

31:14

about the...

31:15

Oh, I'm going to show you that.

31:16

We can do that.

31:17

But he wants to stick to specific topics one at a time.

31:20

Because otherwise it's just, I'll be chasing after you and you'll get nothing.

31:24

Yeah, that was part of the plan today.

31:26

I just wanted to kind of let some of it play out.

31:27

So you want to start with...

31:29

The Flower of Life.

31:29

The Flower of Life.

31:30

Jamie, can you pull that up, please, from my book?

31:35

It's on page 134.

31:38

Tcotlc.com.

31:40

Or it should be in the regular thing.

31:42

And also that blender thing is very cool.

31:44

Yeah, which for rebuilding of Saturn?

31:47

No, the one that you were talking to this other guy where he's asking you

31:51

questions about the five forms.

31:52

Jeff Menzies.

31:53

I found that through sleuthery on the internet where it was doable.

31:58

And because it's, you know, in particular, when you do them opaque, it's very

32:02

hard to see.

32:03

Sometimes when you let it become translucent, it's easier to see.

32:06

Well, that's why, while he's getting that, I'm going to...

32:09

Got it.

32:10

No, no, no, I don't.

32:11

I'm on your website.

32:12

I don't know exactly where the book would be.

32:14

Oh.

32:14

Is it one of these links?

32:16

Just go down.

32:17

I think it'll be a little more, square root of two.

32:24

No, no, no, no, no, no.

32:25

Yeah, if you'll just type into my book, TCO.

32:31

That's from...

32:32

Well, where is the book?

32:33

It's...

32:34

Or you could also Google O-T-O-E-T.

32:39

O-T-O-E-T will take you to that?

32:41

Yeah, one times one equals two is the acronym.

32:45

If you go to...

32:46

Just go to tcotlc.com, and that'll be a pull-up.

32:49

I'll...

32:50

It's in T-C-O-T-L-C.com.

32:54

Yep, right below there, Terrence Howard.

32:56

Yep.

32:57

Flower Live, sis.

32:59

Yep.

32:59

Flower Live.

33:01

Let's see if you just open up the book.

33:03

You got to open it, though.

33:04

Download, yeah.

33:07

Right there?

33:07

That's...

33:09

I don't know if that's what downloads the book.

33:11

Yeah, I don't know.

33:12

Let's see.

33:13

Open.

33:14

I'm clicking that, and that just takes me to this, and then it's not doing

33:18

anything.

33:19

It's not doing it.

33:20

Let's try searching Google O-T-O-E-T.

33:25

And then several...

33:27

All right, so if you go...

33:30

And then put in Howard.

33:32

No.

33:38

Or put in PDF.

33:40

We should be able to pick...

33:43

Yeah, okay.

33:44

That's probably right.

33:45

Yeah, there you go.

33:47

Okay.

33:47

And then go to page 134 on the right-hand side.

33:51

You do have several editions.

33:52

Yeah.

33:54

I didn't even...

33:55

That other one somebody else set up there to probably distract and keep people

33:59

from being

34:00

able to find it.

34:01

It's probably the government.

34:02

Yeah, we're going to do that later.

34:04

You're going to love that.

34:04

Mm-hmm.

34:06

They're coming.

34:07

Yeah, just tap on that jewel right there.

34:11

Okay.

34:12

Okay.

34:12

So this is...

34:13

And we can rotate that with the cursor and get a...

34:16

Oh, what's great about this, I'll be able to pull pieces out of it.

34:19

Yeah, so just tap onto that drill.

34:21

Brilliant.

34:21

So we can start with this.

34:24

So the way I understand it, because I didn't know anything of...

34:26

I've seen this pattern before, didn't know its history.

34:29

I know you can sort of construct it with ruler and compass, which is sort of a

34:33

mathematical

34:33

thing about what you can and can't construct with two simple instruments.

34:37

But what these overlapping circles are is a question.

34:40

And the way in which I got to understand how Terence sees the world is he says,

34:44

look, there's

34:46

this very old pattern that's distributed all over the world, and there isn't a

34:51

great explanation

34:52

for why it's found in so many different places, at least as far as I'm aware

34:56

and part of your

34:57

point.

34:57

And so I think you took a sort of Straussian approach to this by saying, I bet

35:02

that this

35:02

thing is hiding a secret.

35:04

And that the reason that this is widely distributed is that it's cryptic.

35:09

There's something that has to be understood that is not on the surface.

35:12

And then you said something that's very reminiscent of Plato's cave, which is

35:17

that maybe this is

35:18

like a shadow on a flat wall, and that those two things are exploitable.

35:26

And so the idea that this is occurring in a surface is, first of all,

35:31

suspicious to you

35:32

because of that curve linear triangle that you see in black.

35:36

And so you said, I wonder if, you know, people always say as above, so below.

35:41

But what if you said as below, so above, and you imagine that there was a three

35:45

dimensional

35:45

structure floating above this that actually projects down to this and distorts

35:50

down to

35:51

this.

35:52

So that's the first idea.

35:53

The first idea is, it's not this, it's the thing that projected to this.

35:58

And that's what you mean when you say opening the flower.

36:00

Because the flower of, when I was researching where the platonic solids came

36:05

from, this is

36:08

the oldest version that I got from all of antiquity.

36:13

It came back to them.

36:15

Well, there are no, there are no platonic solids because you're in dimension

36:19

two, except for

36:20

what you built, which is the thing above in black.

36:23

But what they did years ago, 6,000 years ago was draw straight lines where the

36:27

circles

36:28

overlapped.

36:29

And I thought in, in what I was reasoning with regard to all energy being

36:33

expressed in motion,

36:35

all motion being expressed in waves, all waves being curved, and that there

36:39

were no straight

36:40

lines in the universe.

36:41

So I was like,

36:42

There's several errors in what you just said.

36:43

If I stop there, we'll get off track again.

36:46

Yeah, but you should, you should correct those errors while we're there.

36:49

Okay.

36:49

It is not true that all energy is expressed in motion.

36:52

What energy is not expressed in motion?

36:54

Potential energy is not expressed in motion.

36:57

If I have a weight on a spring, which is sort of the quintessential, people don't

37:01

know

37:01

this, but most of physics comes out of the system represented by a weight on a

37:06

spring.

37:07

So the simple harmonic oscillator is the heart of, of all physics, even the

37:11

most theoretical

37:12

physics.

37:13

It's very, very strange thing.

37:14

Hook's law.

37:15

When that weight is going up and down, if the spring is frictionless, energy is

37:21

conserved.

37:22

Now at the top and at the bottom, that weight is not moving because all of the

37:27

energy is in

37:28

the potential of the spring.

37:30

It's in the stress of the crystallization that has occurred with, within that,

37:36

that system.

37:37

And then you will say something like.

37:38

The moment that, but that energy is still being held together.

37:42

There is still energy there and it's still moving at, at a microscopic level.

37:48

It's still spinning.

37:49

We have to get into what you will make a point, for example.

37:54

Is that true?

37:54

What he's saying is that it's still in motion.

37:56

It's just in motion in a lower frequency.

37:58

No, there's nothing moving at the, the, let me, let me show you what goes wrong

38:04

in the

38:04

interaction.

38:05

Okay.

38:05

Terrence says, show me in nature, a single straight line.

38:08

Okay.

38:08

And I liked your point about Euclidean women.

38:10

That was awesome.

38:11

That was, that was from Alan Watts.

38:13

So if I, if I show this to Terrence, cause I just bought this from the end of

38:19

the seventh

38:20

ray.

38:20

A lot of straight lines.

38:22

A lot of straight lines.

38:24

Now Terrence is going to say.

38:25

Or what you would think is a straight line.

38:26

You see what, but when you look at it under an electron microscope, you're

38:30

going to see

38:31

the crystalline structure.

38:32

So again, this configuration is an illusion.

38:37

You're just saying it's not perfect.

38:38

It's an optical illusion because crystals form in symmetrical.

38:42

Yeah.

38:43

Very often.

38:45

But a lot of straight lines, a lot of straight lines, perceived straight lines,

38:49

but right.

38:50

But every atom is filled with empty space.

38:53

I mean, we could take this down to the, like, there is no matter.

38:55

That is, we could get crazy.

38:57

So we're, we're, we're about to, well, you've seen that Mexican cave.

39:00

That's the best example ever.

39:02

The Mexican cave is amazing.

39:03

It's insane.

39:05

The best example I've ever seen of crystals.

39:07

Yeah.

39:08

Where you've seen it?

39:08

No.

39:09

Oh my God.

39:09

It's insane.

39:10

Okay.

39:10

Just for a little sidetrack.

39:13

Let's take a look at it because this, uh, Mexican cave is probably one of the

39:19

most spectacular

39:20

things that exists on earth.

39:21

By the way, the spaceship behind you is supposed to be a mushroom, Joe.

39:24

No, it's a spaceship.

39:25

That's the classic UFO.

39:26

And that's me with the headphones.

39:28

Um, look at that.

39:30

That's amazing.

39:30

How insane is that this was created on earth?

39:34

By nature.

39:35

Just by nature.

39:36

It's so different.

39:37

Than anything else we see that it makes our mind go.

39:40

What the fuck?

39:41

Yeah.

39:41

Like those are crystals.

39:42

How?

39:43

How?

39:43

What happened?

39:44

Okay.

39:44

Wild.

39:45

So in this beautiful thing, I would say there are a lot of straight lines, but

39:50

I've also

39:51

studied Terrence enough to know that he's going to say, ah, they're not

39:53

perfectly straight.

39:54

They're not perfectly straight.

39:55

They're not straight at all.

39:56

The moment you look at them through an electron microscope, you'll see all of

39:59

the curves.

40:00

This is part of where we get into.

40:02

Right.

40:02

So they're not precisely straight is your point.

40:05

And in fact, let's imagine that I.

40:07

But the earth isn't precisely circular, right?

40:10

No.

40:10

No.

40:11

It's a five mile.

40:12

Very far away.

40:13

We use this thing called the geoid, which is not circular either, but at least

40:17

it's smooth.

40:18

Right.

40:19

We have many different geois.

40:20

Let's not get.

40:20

It does seem odd though.

40:22

The earth isn't round totally.

40:25

No, it's, well, the earth is aging.

40:26

It's being, it's on its way out.

40:28

It's on its way out.

40:30

It used to be perfectly spherical.

40:33

We're falling apart.

40:34

We need some Botox.

40:35

No, we don't.

40:35

The earth needs Botox.

40:37

The earth just.

40:37

You want a drink?

40:38

We can drink.

40:38

No, no, no.

40:39

Not this early.

40:40

Not this early.

40:40

This early.

40:41

What does that mean?

40:42

You're an American man.

40:44

You should be able to do whatever the fuck you want.

40:46

God damn it.

40:47

I'm in Sweden right now.

40:47

And you're in Texas.

40:48

You're an American man in Texas.

40:50

This is a free state, sir.

40:52

What do you have?

40:54

Will you have whiskey?

40:55

Oh, I would love one.

40:56

That's what we need.

40:57

We need whiskey.

40:57

Let's get some whiskey and some ice.

40:59

Yes, and then we're going to get into the wave conjugation.

41:02

I want to show you something, and I wanted to ask your opinion before I forget.

41:05

There was a recently, well, I recently found it online, of these two photons

41:10

that were entangled,

41:12

and it looks like a yin and a yang.

41:14

Have you seen this?

41:15

No.

41:15

Yes, no, it's not true.

41:17

I have seen it out of the corner of my eye.

41:18

I did not study what caused this.

41:20

I had to run it by you, because you're probably the only one that I know, other

41:24

than maybe

41:24

Terrence, it could understand what the fuck they're saying.

41:26

I have a motto of it.

41:27

Okay.

41:29

I do.

41:30

And I don't.

41:30

I do.

41:31

I believe you.

41:32

I believe you.

41:33

I believe you.

41:33

I have a motto of it.

41:33

So what are they saying?

41:35

How did they see this?

41:36

Like this bifoton digital holography?

41:39

Can someone explain that?

41:39

Maybe, but I don't know what those words mean yet.

41:42

Okay.

41:42

Do you know what it means, Terrence?

41:44

Like how they could see this?

41:47

A bifoton.

41:48

Bi always meaning two, but they're examining two.

41:51

Someone got Michio Kaku on the phone.

41:52

Oh, no.

41:53

Did they smash them?

41:54

Are they smashing them together?

41:56

What's their process of looking at it?

41:58

That's a very good question.

41:59

And they're using the same interferometer that Michelson-Morley experiment,

42:05

which turned

42:06

out to be, it turned out that it actually proved there was an ether.

42:10

They just, there's a paper.

42:11

There's a way in which you're right about the ether, to be blunt.

42:14

That's what I've defined as the ether.

42:15

Listen to this statement in the beginning.

42:17

Look, you know, put the bong down and listen to this.

42:20

High dimensional bifoton states are promising resources for quantum

42:25

applications ranging from

42:27

high dimensional quantum communications to quantum imaging.

42:30

Just that phrase, what fucking percentage of human beings breathing on earth

42:36

right now

42:37

have any idea what any of that means?

42:39

I imagine that you have a state in a bosonic fox space, which is multi-particle.

42:47

So you've got something in the degree two level of a bosonic fox space where

42:54

the two photons

42:55

were created together.

42:56

And that's going to be where the entanglement comes from.

42:59

High dimensional, I don't know what it means because I know too many different,

43:02

I assume

43:04

it's a term of art in this area.

43:06

And what they're saying is if I can create something that is geographically

43:11

distributed, but also

43:13

linked at the point of creation, like if a photon decays into an electron positron

43:21

pair, those

43:22

two are going to be entangled.

43:24

And if you'd make a measurement in a quantum sense of one, you seal the fate of

43:28

the entire

43:29

system.

43:30

And so what they're trying to say is if you want to get jiggy, people always

43:34

want to talk

43:35

about faster than light communications by taking an entangled pair and saying

43:39

that if

43:39

I do something in one place, I know what happens outside of my light cone.

43:43

So we can give meaning to these things and then you have to say, well, it doesn't

43:46

allow you to

43:47

create information transfer faster than the speed of light.

43:50

You have to be very careful and precise about it.

43:52

But if you just start getting jiggy, then you start thinking.

43:55

Unless you introduce the ether.

43:57

Thank you, sir.

43:58

So the ether, so, you know, in part when I've been here on previous versions of

44:03

Jerry, I

44:04

talked about vector bundles and in a certain sense, how do you have a wave

44:09

without a medium?

44:10

The medium was supposed to be this ether, but the medium is actually something

44:14

called a vector

44:15

bundle.

44:15

It's a little bit weird that you're a wave.

44:17

No, it's perfect because the vector bundle, go ahead.

44:20

You're a wave in a medium and you as a wave don't know that you're a wave and

44:26

you don't

44:26

know what medium you live in.

44:27

And it's funny that you go through life not understanding what you are.

44:31

No, but that medium, that luminiferous medium, ether, that Maxwell wrote all of

44:38

his equations

44:39

off of, Newton believed that light was propagated on that same medium.

44:43

The only reason that special relativity came along was because they couldn't,

44:49

they had misread

44:50

the results from the Michelson-Morley experiment because it did show a slight

44:55

change or a,

44:56

some drag, but they, from that point on, because Einstein's theory of

45:02

relativity was so easy

45:04

and it predicted all of the movements of things, it did, they allowed, they

45:08

abandoned.

45:09

They had a bad idea of what the ether was going to be and special relativity

45:13

said.

45:13

They thought it would be and what you were trying to say, the way I interpret

45:18

it, again, and

45:20

I don't know if I'm right if we don't do the work, is hey, the spiritual

45:25

successor to the

45:26

idea of the ether exists.

45:30

Yes.

45:31

And that thing has properties.

45:33

And if you say, if I put a vector bundle on top of a Lorentzian manifold, then

45:39

you don't

45:39

have a contradiction.

45:40

And if you call that the ether, that's more or less what we work with.

45:44

And then we do this weird thing where we say, well, they used to think the

45:46

ether existed

45:47

and it didn't, ha, ha, ha.

45:49

And that's not really.

45:50

Because that's when they said that space was a vacuum and they realized that

45:54

space is

45:54

not a vacuum.

45:55

It's not a vacuum.

45:56

It's not a vacuum.

45:57

Do you know how much is going on in that vacuum?

45:59

It's all going on.

46:00

Yes, all of this stuff.

46:01

I understand.

46:02

So this is the thing, which is if you step on this thing the wrong way,

46:05

everybody laughs

46:06

and says, ha, ha, ha.

46:07

He doesn't understand the Michelson-Mortley experiment.

46:10

He doesn't understand why there's no ether.

46:13

And then we secretly sneak it back in, in this.

46:15

Thank you.

46:16

Thank you, Joe.

46:17

Cheers.

46:18

Cheers, Joe.

46:19

Cheers.

46:20

These professional spherical cubes.

46:22

Yeah.

46:23

They're cool, right?

46:24

Brown ice cubes.

46:25

Now I can have a conversation.

46:26

Oh, yeah.

46:27

Now.

46:28

Ah.

46:29

Freedom.

46:30

Mental freedom in a glass.

46:31

So.

46:32

So.

46:33

Or in prison.

46:34

If you're careful about it, it makes sense.

46:38

If you're not careful about it, the whole thing blows up in your face.

46:40

And the reason that I speak about the ether, all of the wave conjugations, all

46:45

of my patents,

46:46

have been defining different aspects of the ether.

46:50

I believe that I've defined the electric side, the plasmid side, and I believe

46:55

that I've defined

46:56

the magnetic side, and the constitution between them.

46:59

I mean, that's what I want to show.

47:01

I want to get to that.

47:02

Let's go back to the flower.

47:03

Oh, but before you go from that other spot, if you look at that picture again

47:07

of those two

47:08

photons interacting, it looks like it's at the center of what would typically

47:14

be a whirlpool.

47:16

This is like the very center of a whirlpool.

47:18

So they've got them moving right by each other or in creating that vortices,

47:23

that natural vortices.

47:25

That's what they took the picture of.

47:27

They look directly down at something being at two lights moving a fluid.

47:33

And they described how they take the picture.

47:35

It's so complicated.

47:36

Jamie, go back to where it was where they were explaining what they use.

47:41

Here it is.

47:42

Here we introduce bifoton digital holography in analogy to off-axis digital

47:48

holography,

47:50

where we coincidence imaging of the superposition of an unknown state with a

47:55

reference state is

47:56

used to perform quantum state tomography.

47:58

What the fuck?

47:59

See, but that's because of the uncertainty and Schrodinger, all of that.

48:04

But if you were able, because they started off trying to predict an electron

48:11

cloud and find

48:12

a little particle inside of it and couldn't predict it, so all these uncertainties

48:16

and probabilities

48:17

came out, but they were doing things on a two-dimensional basis.

48:20

That's what I believe that I've figured out with the wave conjugations, because

48:25

they talk about the hyper...

48:26

they show the pieces of hyperbolic space to where you don't have to go through

48:31

all these unnecessary steps to reach it.

48:33

I am just so happy that someone's doing something like this.

48:36

I'm so happy that we can talk about it.

48:38

I don't think most people have any understanding of what's going on at the

48:44

highest levels of this kind of science,

48:46

because it's so damn fascinating.

48:49

These people are finding the very building blocks of the universe and studying

48:54

them.

48:55

It's fascinating.

48:56

But this is a bit up from that.

48:58

I mean, the tomography is like how we assemble a picture of you when we do an NMR

49:06

or a CAT scan.

49:08

We have this thing called the radon transform, where we send waves through your

49:16

body, and then we assemble a picture of what's inside your body,

49:17

reconstructing it based on sending probes in and measuring how the system

49:23

responds.

49:24

We could get through this, but I can tell you that I can't read this instantly.

49:31

It's going to, you know, that would take me 15 minutes with looking things up.

49:34

I was just going to say, it's just an unbelievably fascinating time that we can

49:43

actually look at these quantum entangled photons like that and just see it.

49:47

But we need to do a better job.

49:49

Look, right now we're in a crisis where no one knows what's true.

49:53

Nobody knows who's full of shit.

49:55

Nobody knows where they can trust, you know, what they can trust, who they can

49:59

trust.

49:59

One of the things that actually, you know, moved me to come and to reach out to

50:04

Joe is that by default, I think, you know, I've addressed the National Academy

50:10

of Sciences four times, I think, because they were lying and I caught them.

50:15

And so they wanted to know how much I knew about their lie.

50:19

It's weird to think that this little studio, in a weird way, is one of the

50:24

rivals of universities when we don't know what's going on at Harvard, as you

50:29

have recently seen, we don't kick out plagiarists, we don't check what's going

50:34

on at the National Institute of Health.

50:36

And so it's very strange that this table is one of the last things that is

50:42

trusted by many people.

50:44

And that's one of the reasons I'm here, which is people have a chance to see

50:48

people in conversation about things and, you know, you screw up, but the

50:52

conversations recorded and we all go on and people have a chance to see what's

50:55

coming out.

50:56

If we can go back to the flower of life, I can try to love that.

50:59

But like with the flower, all of these things I took, I went up to Oxford eight

51:06

years ago and tried to present them there to be examined.

51:10

They didn't want to take me seriously.

51:12

Because you keep coming at it in the way that you do it.

51:15

Because the one times one, when I said the one times one, but like I said, that

51:19

was a metaphor to say something's wrong, something's wrong, but they know

51:23

something's wrong with the math.

51:25

It's not adding up.

51:26

So you bring up renormalization theory.

51:29

Right.

51:29

Renormalization theory is a way of saying we know that we're working with math

51:32

that's wrong, and on the other hand, we have a way of working with math that's

51:36

wrong, even though we know it's wrong.

51:39

If you have an error of a particular kind and you can find an expression with

51:44

the same error that's different in the denominator, sometimes you can cancel

51:49

the part that's wrong because you introduced it twice.

51:52

So introducing two problems is better than having only one problem because you

51:56

have the opportunity to have one problem kill another.

51:59

So is there a potential future where human beings, through whatever means,

52:05

develop a superior method of mathematics that doesn't have a problem with the

52:10

number two, that doesn't have all these issues that we're talking about?

52:14

Well, that's what I think I've done with my wave conjugations.

52:18

It solves all of those problems.

52:19

That's what I can't wait to talk about it.

52:21

Okay.

52:22

It solves all of those problems.

52:23

Let's crack.

52:23

So this is, like we said, we start with the tetrian now.

52:26

No, no, no.

52:27

We haven't gone to the tetrian.

52:29

Oh, you're just talking about the flower.

52:30

Look, you have a story.

52:32

Yes.

52:33

And by doing the Nantucket sleigh ride, you lose everybody like me because

52:36

nobody thinks it's real.

52:38

And what parts of it are real and what parts of it are wrong and what parts can

52:41

be improved and what parts should be improved and how important it is, is never

52:45

going to get adjudicated.

52:47

Beautiful.

52:48

So you start off with the flower of life.

52:50

It's a very coherent story that this thing is found all over the world.

52:53

I learned from this.

52:54

I didn't understand how widespread it was.

52:56

I didn't know that there was a mystery of it.

52:59

I know something about sacred geometry is a kind of spiritual geometric thing.

53:04

We can talk about it later.

53:05

Terence has a couple of ideas, maybe three.

53:08

One of which is maybe it's not about that flower of life because that's in a

53:12

two-dimensional plane.

53:13

Maybe that is a shadow cast by something in higher dimensions.

53:17

And it's a cryptic message from an advanced consciousness that will open its

53:24

secrets when we finally understand it.

53:29

Now, there was something, for example, called the Antikthyra Mechanism, which

53:32

is a bunch of gears found by this Greek island of Antikthyra.

53:36

And famously, it was just in the Athens Museum.

53:40

It predicts the constellations.

53:42

We didn't know that.

53:43

There were two cats who really focused on it.

53:46

One was named Derek de Sola Price and the other was Richard Feynman.

53:49

And they were obsessed with it.

53:50

And it turned out that that thing completely rewrote our understanding of how

53:54

much ancient wisdom and knowledge there was because this was a mechanical

53:58

calculator for understanding the positions of celestial objects far more

54:02

advanced than we had any idea was possible.

54:05

So, if you want an analogy, in part, I'm trying to steel man you, we have a

54:10

situation in which the Antikthyra Mechanism gives you a possible example of

54:15

what the flower of life might be.

54:18

It might be a cryptic instruction.

54:20

And a different version of this, the Kerala School of Astronomy, which was a

54:26

religious school in the south of India, in the west coast of India, more or

54:31

less worked out.

54:32

Look at that beautiful thing.

54:35

Well, that's a, that's a reconstruction.

54:36

Yeah.

54:37

Yeah.

54:37

That thing.

54:38

Yeah, that's the real one.

54:39

Yeah.

54:39

But, I mean, when you look at the actual reconstruction, what they think it

54:41

actually looked like.

54:42

Oh, and if we, fascinating.

54:44

Can we get the video for the reconstruction?

54:46

It's mind-blowing.

54:47

What year was this that they believe it was constructed?

54:50

2,000 years ago?

54:52

This is when they still believed in the Ptolemaic, you know, example of the

54:57

world.

54:58

But this doesn't seem to follow Ptolemaic equations, those 39 equations from

55:03

now.

55:04

Well, it's, you know, because of so many different factors, war, natural

55:08

disasters, there's been a lot of moments in history where shit got lost.

55:12

Just the, the pyramids are the best example of that, right?

55:17

Like, what the fuck did they do?

55:18

We don't really know.

55:19

You know, we don't really know how they did it.

55:20

Well, another, we're just talking about Werner Herzog.

55:23

Yes.

55:23

Werner Herzog created an entire film, Fitzgeraldo, just to test his theory

55:29

about how to move heavy objects over a mountain.

55:33

Right?

55:34

So he wrote, he wrote an entertainment to test an engineering theory.

55:38

And this idea about entertainers not being scientists or engineers is just

55:43

total bunk.

55:44

Like, Werner Herzog is an engineer.

55:46

And...

55:47

He's also an actor in a cheeseball movie.

55:49

He was in Reacher with Tom Cruise.

55:52

He was the bad guy.

55:55

Yeah, he gives that guy an opportunity to cut off his finger or something.

55:58

Hilarious.

55:59

It was hilarious.

55:59

He's good, though.

56:00

Hedy Lamarr, famous for spread spectrum technology.

56:04

Oh, yeah.

56:05

She did Wi-Fi, essentially.

56:06

That's one of the reasons I just, I believe that we listen to people who have,

56:09

have things to say.

56:10

So if we go back to the flower of life.

56:12

So Terence has a couple of ideas.

56:19

One of which is, this is the shadow.

56:20

Another of which is that, um, once you go into higher dimensions, you should be

56:26

thinking in, um, so you should be thinking, uh, of these curve linear

56:32

structures.

56:33

And then instead of focusing on the spheres, you should focus on the areas in

56:38

between the voids and in crystallography, you might call this the interstitial,

56:44

the interstitial voids.

56:46

Um, so there's several ideas that this confused, by the way, Neil deGrasse

56:51

Tyson, because he said, I don't know where these shapes come from, but they are

56:56

beautiful.

56:57

That was like the faint praise that he ends his critique with.

57:01

So what Terence is doing here is he's saying, look, this, the circles are, are

57:06

cross sections of spheres and the spheres have to be placed in very precise

57:12

places to generate what Terence is going to start talking about as wave conjugations.

57:19

And he has different ways that spheres run into each other.

57:24

Then he says something very cryptic where he says, if you drop a pebble in the

57:29

center of a spherical lake, circular, circularly symmetric lake, the wave will

57:35

radiate out until it hits the wall, the shore, and then it will radiate back.

57:41

And so he's talking about this and he says wave conjugations and wave conjugation

57:46

didn't call up anything directly.

57:48

When I heard him say it, they would call it a phase conjugation or they would

57:52

talk about, you know, the conjugate wave coming back.

57:55

If you know, if you, if you do something, uh, like a garden hose, that's a fix

58:00

to the wall, the wall, it'll hit the wall and come back or something.

58:04

So what Terence is talking about is the idea, and you could do this where we

58:09

could drop like, let's say six stones in precise places in water.

58:15

And then, you know, using super slow-mo, watch what happens as these waves in

58:20

precisely placed places run into each other.

58:24

Because really what physics is, is waves in collision.

58:26

And they're going to create a particular cymatics, which is going to show the

58:31

harmonic points where matter and all of those things occur.

58:34

That's the predictability.

58:35

I'm not going there yet.

58:36

Okay.

58:36

So then what Terence does is he has in blender, um, some means of bringing up

58:45

platonic solids that are not the usual.

58:51

So I bought some of these platonic solids, uh, from Amazon and you see that

58:58

they're all, uh, extremely Cartesian.

59:01

They're made up of flat faces, our best attempt to do flat faces.

59:05

Terence says, I don't think that that has to be the case.

59:08

If you generate these things from this pattern, um, and he focuses on the tetrahedron

59:15

and an octahedral structure.

59:17

Can you go up, Jamie, please, so we can see it as, um, from that, that side

59:21

perspective of it.

59:22

Yeah.

59:23

Go around.

59:24

Okay.

59:24

So what that is, is a curve linear tetrahedron with spherical, and it's not

59:29

actually hyperbolic.

59:31

Those are going to be, um, positive curvature, not negative curvature.

59:34

This is negative curvature.

59:35

No, it's not, it's going to be positive curvature.

59:36

Compressing in.

59:38

Yeah.

59:39

I think it's positive curvature because those are going to be parts of spheres.

59:44

The spheres are interacting, pushing inside.

59:47

Yes, but negative curvature would be more like a Pringles trip, a chip, where

59:51

the principal axis of curvature went in different directions.

59:54

So I think it's not negative curvature.

59:57

So this isn't the negative space between four bubbles?

1:00:00

No, what you mean by negative space, negative curvature and negative space are

1:00:03

different concepts.

1:00:04

So the word negative is appearing twice, and that's why we're confused.

1:00:07

Again, you know, there are a million of these gotchas where you're not going to...

1:00:10

Can you, uh, describe the difference between the two?

1:00:12

Sure.

1:00:12

If I take the tip of my nose, that's going to be positive curvature because I've

1:00:17

got one, uh...

1:00:19

Extending out.

1:00:20

One curve going one direction.

1:00:22

The other is going in, they're curved in the same direction.

1:00:24

On the other hand, if you look at, like, the crease of my nose, um, that's

1:00:28

going to be negative curvature because I've got one that's going like this and

1:00:33

another that's going like that.

1:00:34

Jamie, is it possible to take a look at a monkey saddle?

1:00:37

So that would be negatively curved, right?

1:00:46

Because you'd have, you'd have things going in opposite directions.

1:00:49

That looks like a cool seat.

1:00:51

Yeah.

1:00:52

Yeah.

1:00:53

That looked a little comfortable.

1:00:55

Okay.

1:00:55

So negative curvature is what...

1:00:56

I actually have a motto of that.

1:00:57

Yeah, so negative curvature would be what we would be talking about with, like,

1:01:02

um, hyperbolic space.

1:01:03

And spherical curvature would be what we're talking about with the inside of

1:01:08

those curved linear triangles on his...

1:01:11

So he's making, again, I don't see this as...

1:01:15

This isn't where I think it's worth, you know, saying he's wrong.

1:01:18

He's just doesn't know the language and doesn't know that there's a formalization

1:01:22

of it.

1:01:22

Now, if you take, um...

1:01:26

So the other structure that he keeps running across is an octahedral curved

1:01:31

linear, um, I don't know what...

1:01:34

It's not really a platonic solid because it's not flat.

1:01:36

If you go and push, you have to push on the, um, jewel on the side, Jamie, if

1:01:40

you go to the side of the thing, press on that jewel, and then go to the perp,

1:01:46

to that blue on that right.

1:01:49

That blue, yep.

1:01:50

And then you get where eight bubbles work.

1:01:53

So now what he's doing is he's saying, if I have eight bubbles, and these

1:01:59

bubbles, all, each face of this object, this octahedral object, um,

1:02:06

he's taking a, a sort of curve linear triangle on a sphere, and he's imagining

1:02:12

that these things are all sort of racing towards each other.

1:02:19

Um, and how would you generate, no, no, no, don't, if you put those two in, he's

1:02:24

going to go into a different world.

1:02:27

No, no, no.

1:02:28

So if we take the...

1:02:29

You can just tap on each one of those tetrians.

1:02:31

Just tap it, it'll go away.

1:02:32

Tap it, it'll go away.

1:02:33

Now, how would you generate, so Neil doesn't know where this comes from, right?

1:02:37

Now, the way in which, uh, you would do this, I believe, is that you would take

1:02:46

a, let me think about how you do this.

1:02:49

Um, you take the eight...

1:02:56

Petri, yeah.

1:02:57

Eight, no, no, no.

1:02:57

You take the eight vertices of a cube, and you'd put a sphere at each one, a

1:03:04

small sphere.

1:03:06

So imagine that you had a vertex, uh, at one, one, one, in three-dimensional

1:03:13

space, and then you had another vertex where all of the vertices are going to

1:03:18

have either ones or negative ones.

1:03:20

So you have eight possibilities, so you could have negative one, one, one, one,

1:03:24

or one, negative one, negative one, et cetera.

1:03:26

You allow those spheres to increase to a size of square root of two radius, and

1:03:33

that will close off all of the means of escape, leaving a cavity in the center

1:03:39

of your cube.

1:03:42

And that cube will have an octahedral cavity that looks like this.

1:03:46

That's how I think you generated the sucker.

1:03:48

I actually generated this by putting eight of the pieces together.

1:03:54

I took eight of those triangular pieces together, and I put them together.

1:03:58

They basically became the basis of two tetrians.

1:04:02

Yeah.

1:04:03

You know, which this would be seen as a neutron, and the interesting thing

1:04:08

about this piece right here is nature always makes things in pairs, and they're

1:04:13

always balanced.

1:04:14

This doesn't exist.

1:04:16

This exists only as a result of a pressure condition, a higher pressure

1:04:21

condition.

1:04:22

Jamie, if you go to that last blue, tap that last blue on, yeah, pass, not the

1:04:29

last blue, go around one more time, that one right there.

1:04:34

That tetra, that hunting, only exists as a result of the four, of the eight

1:04:40

pressure conditions created.

1:04:42

Hold on, you'll appreciate this.

1:04:44

Tap, now tap on that tetra, the hunting in the middle.

1:04:47

No, no, no, not that one.

1:04:48

Damn, you got to start it again.

1:04:49

Yeah, you can, yeah, hit that one again, and then tap on the, on to, yeah, tap

1:04:55

that.

1:04:56

Make that go away.

1:04:58

That right there is the pressure condition created from eight tetrians

1:05:04

interacting, and they create that other greater pressure condition.

1:05:10

That's the negative space that they generate, but it doesn't, it's a massless

1:05:15

area,

1:05:16

because the moment that the tetrians disappear, that space goes away, and the

1:05:20

energy generated disappears.

1:05:22

But it's a part of everything in the, in the, in my motto.

1:05:27

So you're, you're putting a lot of words, like, first of all, let's just admit

1:05:32

that this looks gorgeous.

1:05:34

Pretty cool.

1:05:35

It's incredibly cool.

1:05:35

Turn it around, Jamie, so they can see it, please.

1:05:39

So, you know, the problem, Terrence, is, is that you have a desire to go

1:05:43

immediately towards what this means, right?

1:05:47

And before you get to what it means, people don't even know what it is.

1:05:50

True.

1:05:51

Right?

1:05:51

So what I'm going to claim is I've got these eight rambutons here.

1:05:57

What's a rambuton?

1:05:59

It's like a gorilla testicle.

1:06:01

You ever had these?

1:06:02

No, what are they?

1:06:03

Is it fruit?

1:06:04

Yeah, it's like lychees.

1:06:05

Oh, lychees.

1:06:06

I've had lychees.

1:06:07

But this is, I think, rambut is the Indonesian word for hair.

1:06:11

Where'd you pick those up?

1:06:12

Ranch 99 Market.

1:06:15

It would have got you some flowers, but the light changed.

1:06:18

If I take eight of these suckers, and I arrange them in a cubicle formation,

1:06:26

there's going to

1:06:28

be one of Terrence's things in the center, except there are going to be six

1:06:35

holes for the sides

1:06:37

of the cube where you can get in.

1:06:39

Now, what Terrence is saying is, imagine that these are special magical rambutons.

1:06:43

I can't even hold this thing.

1:06:45

And that you allow them to grow a little bit bigger so that those holes close

1:06:50

off by moving

1:06:51

through each other.

1:06:52

Imagine that they're made of magical substances.

1:06:54

In the center, you're going to get one of his curved linear octahedral

1:06:58

structures, which

1:07:00

is the thing that he just subtracted off.

1:07:01

He calls it the hantian.

1:07:03

If you tap on the pink right there, you'll be back to that.

1:07:07

Oh, the next one next to it.

1:07:08

I don't, wow, I shouldn't have done that.

1:07:10

Okay.

1:07:11

So what's going on is that, for example, is that Neil can't figure out, well,

1:07:16

where did

1:07:17

this come from?

1:07:18

So what it is, is spheres of radius root two at the eight vertices of a cube

1:07:27

passing through

1:07:29

each other, but closing off an octahedral cavity with positively curved

1:07:34

triangles inside.

1:07:36

That's what I needed you for.

1:07:38

Well.

1:07:38

That's what I, just when I needed you most.

1:07:43

Thank you.

1:07:44

Pretty glamorous.

1:07:46

Okay.

1:07:48

Can I ask you, Terrence, before we go any further, what was the inspiration for

1:07:52

diving into this?

1:07:53

Like, what revelation did you have that caused you to start looking at this as

1:07:57

a 3D structure

1:07:58

and the space inside of it?

1:07:59

They're going to call me crazy again, but when I was 42 and had been kicked out

1:08:06

of the world

1:08:07

as a result of the allegations, I had another dream.

1:08:11

And that same being woke me up and took me back to where I was when I was a

1:08:17

child.

1:08:18

And I saw the, I started putting the pieces together, the all shapes.

1:08:23

In your dream.

1:08:24

In the dream together.

1:08:26

And then I was like, oh, so it's where four forces meet that makes a difference.

1:08:30

So when I put four spheres, four circles, I cut four circles out and I made the

1:08:35

all shape.

1:08:36

And then when I started adding them together, then I saw the flower of life.

1:08:41

I didn't see the flower of life initially.

1:08:43

I saw that after when, well, I'll show you the pieces.

1:08:47

But the all shape is a different thing because in this case, in order to do

1:08:51

this, what he

1:08:52

did is he said, I'm going to make mathematical spheres.

1:08:54

They're going to start to intersect each other, right?

1:08:57

And the intersections are going to be ignored because it's made out of fictitious

1:09:03

math material

1:09:04

until they close off the holes in the cubicle lattice structure, leaving octahedral

1:09:10

voids

1:09:10

with this kind of curvature.

1:09:11

To make what he calls the all shape, you do something very different.

1:09:16

You'd start off with the tetrahedron, which is distinguished among the five

1:09:19

platonic solids

1:09:20

as being self-dual.

1:09:22

That is, there are four vertices and there are four faces.

1:09:25

And you can interchange faces with vertices.

1:09:29

And in fact, I don't know if you guys have these things.

1:09:33

You have this?

1:09:34

No.

1:09:34

What is it?

1:09:36

So this is an engineering feat.

1:09:39

So if you think platonic solids are old, a guy named Chuck Haberman figured out

1:09:45

how to

1:09:45

take the self-duality of a tetrahedron.

1:09:47

And you can change the color of the sphere by throwing it up.

1:09:54

And effectively, if you think about the four dots on the surface of one of

1:09:58

these, in between

1:10:01

them are four triangles.

1:10:03

And he figured out a mechanism.

1:10:07

We can cut one of these open.

1:10:08

There's a gearing mechanism inside that's hidden from the public where you get

1:10:12

a dot.

1:10:13

You should hold that up so they could see it.

1:10:14

So the audience could see it.

1:10:16

So as you pull this thing apart, it can change colors.

1:10:23

Yeah.

1:10:24

You spin it ever so slightly, Joe.

1:10:27

Oh, wow.

1:10:29

Yeah?

1:10:30

All right.

1:10:31

That's for you guys.

1:10:32

It's cool, right?

1:10:33

Yeah.

1:10:33

That's very bizarre.

1:10:34

All right.

1:10:35

Now, my point is that one of the things that Terrence has going against him is

1:10:39

people are

1:10:40

saying, oh, you know, he's just playing with stuff people have played with

1:10:43

since antiquity.

1:10:44

There's nothing new.

1:10:45

And then I would say, well, then why did Charles Haberman create a mechanism

1:10:50

realizing the self-duality

1:10:52

of the tetrahedron?

1:10:53

Nobody even talks about it that way.

1:10:54

And by the way, here's something that people, you know, play Dungeons and

1:10:57

Dragons they don't

1:10:58

really even have any idea of, is if you take the five platonic solids here and

1:11:05

you put

1:11:06

the tetrahedron in the middle and you put the triangular structures of the octahedron

1:11:11

and the

1:11:13

icosahedron off to the sides, there's a duality that interchanges the pairs

1:11:21

with the center being

1:11:24

self-dual.

1:11:25

In other words, the cube has six faces and eight vertices.

1:11:30

The octahedron has eight faces and six vertices.

1:11:33

The dodecahedron, 12 faces, 20 vertices.

1:11:37

The icosahedron, 20 faces, 12 vertices.

1:11:40

Now, all these pairs have the same number of sides because the number of

1:11:45

vertices plus the

1:11:46

number of faces minus the number of edges has to equal two for anything that is

1:11:50

spherical

1:11:51

in nature.

1:11:52

Now, if all of my things, when they come together, if they create a natural dodecahedron

1:12:00

and

1:12:00

they create a natural icosahedron, what does that say?

1:12:05

They do and they don't.

1:12:05

They do?

1:12:06

No, I'm going to show you.

1:12:07

No, I'm saying you haven't seen yet.

1:12:09

I haven't shown you yet.

1:12:10

But they will when you see it.

1:12:12

So, Terry, why don't you show it to them right now?

1:12:14

We're on it right now.

1:12:16

Show it to them right now.

1:12:19

Shout out to all the homies right now trying to figure out what the fuck's

1:12:27

going on.

1:12:28

Shout out to all the homies.

1:12:30

Like, what are these guys talking about?

1:12:33

Holy shit.

1:12:34

Legalized schedule one.

1:12:36

So, we can't hear you, Terrence.

1:12:43

You're not on camera right now, unfortunately.

1:12:45

I'm speaking to myself right now.

1:12:47

Right.

1:12:48

You're speaking to myself right now.

1:12:49

The problem is it's in the middle of a podcast.

1:12:51

How's the family?

1:12:54

Everything's great, man.

1:12:55

How you doing?

1:12:56

I saw your dog.

1:12:57

I met Marshall for the first time.

1:12:58

Oh, that's right.

1:12:59

You've never met him before.

1:13:00

He's the best.

1:13:01

He's a lovable guy.

1:13:02

Him and Carl, they were getting after it.

1:13:04

Is Carl worn out?

1:13:05

Oh, yeah.

1:13:06

Oh, he's done.

1:13:07

Yeah, I wore Carl out.

1:13:08

Everybody wore Carl out.

1:13:09

So, here we are.

1:13:11

I'm going to first.

1:13:13

Terrence, no one can hear you.

1:13:15

I know you can.

1:13:15

I know, but we have a podcast going on right now.

1:13:18

Because we're about to put the headphones back on.

1:13:19

Okay, here we go.

1:13:20

I'll be right here next to it.

1:13:21

The problem is you were talking off in the distance.

1:13:22

I can't even hear you.

1:13:24

I'm right here.

1:13:24

So, this is where, if you'll go to where the 12 bubbles meet.

1:13:29

Yeah.

1:13:30

Can I finish my riff on those toys before we get to these toys?

1:13:38

Sure.

1:13:38

My point was that I call bullshit on the idea that because Terrence is playing

1:13:45

with stuff

1:13:46

that people have been playing with since antiquity, that you can't come up,

1:13:49

that there's nothing

1:13:50

new under the sun.

1:13:51

Because if there's nothing new under the sun, first of all, how did Charles Haberman

1:13:55

come

1:13:55

up with something so cool?

1:13:56

Second of all, that means that there's an object that hasn't been invented.

1:14:02

I give this to high school kids.

1:14:04

You should be able to throw one of these up as a cube and have it come back as

1:14:07

an octahedron.

1:14:08

You should come up with a gearing mechanism.

1:14:09

And you should be able to throw up a dodecahedron and have it come back in your

1:14:13

hand as a differently

1:14:14

colored icosahedron, and I've never seen those toys, just the way the Rubik's

1:14:19

Cube came out

1:14:20

of nowhere, or hungry, and that thing took over the world by storm.

1:14:25

So, to claim that a guy can't do engineering on platonic solids and come up

1:14:31

with something

1:14:32

new, the Rubik's Cube, the Habermans switch pitch, these things prove that that's

1:14:39

not true.

1:14:39

I think it's a foolish thing almost always to pretend there's nothing new under

1:14:44

the sun.

1:14:44

You should always consider it.

1:14:46

It might not be correct, but there's only one way to find out.

1:14:50

Well, there's a difference between, you see, Terrence has much greater odds of

1:14:54

contributing

1:14:55

to the world of engineering than he does to the world of mathematics.

1:14:58

I mean, the odds that he's doing something new in mathematics, I'll be blunt,

1:15:02

are very,

1:15:03

very small.

1:15:04

Even though I have patents on it that shows that all of this is novel?

1:15:07

I don't want to go there.

1:15:08

The patents do not speak to what you think that they speak to.

1:15:11

That's, okay.

1:15:13

Look, you can see into my heart.

1:15:15

I'm not trying to...

1:15:16

No.

1:15:16

No, no, no, no, no, no.

1:15:17

All right.

1:15:18

But we were talking, I told you that they produce a supersymmetrical structure

1:15:22

that...

1:15:22

When you say supersymmetry, I don't know that you know what a supersymmetry is.

1:15:26

What does supersymmetry mean to you, Terrence?

1:15:29

Supersymmetry means that all things come together, fit together, relate to each

1:15:33

other.

1:15:34

They come, they're self-referential, and they are from a fractal that comes

1:15:39

back to that same

1:15:41

fractal space.

1:15:42

That's supersymmetry.

1:15:43

So what you mean is a symmetry that is amped up, but supersymmetry is a reserve

1:15:50

term that

1:15:51

means something hyper-particular.

1:15:52

And that's what this is.

1:15:53

Between bosons and fermions.

1:15:55

That's what this is.

1:15:56

This is the bosons, for the layman out there, the boson, the cloud, the whole

1:16:02

boson thing

1:16:03

is the force field or the energy field that the fermions is considered the

1:16:08

matter aspects

1:16:10

of it.

1:16:10

So if we can go into his...

1:16:12

He's got five of these patterns, one of which he calls the...

1:16:18

But what is wrong with the term supersymmetry?

1:16:20

Then I want to see an algebra, which is a linear vector space, which has an

1:16:29

object called a bracket.

1:16:31

And I want to see that that bracket obeys a super Jacoby identity.

1:16:36

And otherwise, there's no supersymmetry.

1:16:38

So it's a specifically used scientific term and he's using it incorrectly.

1:16:42

It's a reserved term of art.

1:16:43

Yeah, but it's...

1:16:44

Geometry is its own proof.

1:16:46

Supersymmetry and geometry allows you to visualize, like you look at the ocean

1:16:52

and you see the supersymmetry

1:16:53

associated with it.

1:16:55

I think what he's saying is you're talking about a thing and you're using the

1:16:58

term supersymmetry,

1:16:59

and he's saying that supersymmetry only applies to a very specific thing that's

1:17:04

been defined.

1:17:05

Because in their math...

1:17:06

That's been defined.

1:17:06

No, in their math, the platonic solids, like I said before, have a discrete

1:17:11

symmetry.

1:17:12

You can only line up the blocks and all of those things.

1:17:15

You can't put all of them together and tell a full story to where they fold

1:17:19

into each other.

1:17:21

I don't think he's disagreeing with you with that.

1:17:23

I think he's disagreeing that you're using a reserved term of art.

1:17:27

And you're using it incorrectly.

1:17:29

That's what he said.

1:17:30

And you're going to pay a penalty.

1:17:31

Okay, I don't want to pay no penalty.

1:17:32

This is a thing where, like if I'm watching an MMA fight and someone's doing

1:17:36

commentary and they call a kick wrong,

1:17:39

I'm like, why are you doing this?

1:17:40

You don't even know what that is.

1:17:42

Like you incorrectly reference something that's very specific that we've been

1:17:46

talking about for a long time.

1:17:48

If you're getting intimate with your lady and you're into rough play and she's

1:17:53

not wearing any clothes,

1:17:54

is it a rear naked choke if she grabs you from behind?

1:17:57

No.

1:17:58

A rear naked choke is a particular move.

1:18:00

Yes.

1:18:00

It doesn't have anything to do with what she did.

1:18:02

Unless she gets the hooks in.

1:18:04

Question.

1:18:05

In the world of physics, in the world of mathematics,

1:18:10

is there a supersymmetrical system, geometric system, ever been produced in

1:18:17

mathematics?

1:18:18

Yes.

1:18:19

In mathematics, yes.

1:18:20

We've never seen super Poincaré algebra.

1:18:24

Yeah, but that's on a plane.

1:18:29

That's not volumetrically.

1:18:33

That doesn't scale up.

1:18:34

Terrence, you have an entire way of thinking that is completely foreign to

1:18:38

everyone that I know.

1:18:39

And I've tried to understand what it is.

1:18:41

Oh, I'm sorry.

1:18:42

No, it's not a question.

1:18:43

No, I don't think he's saying this is a negative.

1:18:45

No, no, no, no.

1:18:46

I didn't see it as a negative.

1:18:47

What I'm trying to say is,

1:18:49

the reason that science works as well as it does

1:18:55

is that up until very recently, there were clear rules, cultures.

1:19:00

We agreed to leave certain things that are at the door, like our religious

1:19:04

beliefs.

1:19:04

We agreed to submit to certain sorts of things.

1:19:07

We were decent to each other.

1:19:09

And that system is in a process of collapse at the moment.

1:19:11

Now, well, Terrence comes from an earlier way of thinking.

1:19:20

When things were much more wide open,

1:19:22

you don't find many polymaths anywhere in a respectable position anymore.

1:19:29

Terrence is coming from a polymathic perspective.

1:19:32

He's all over the map in terms of the quality of his thinking.

1:19:36

As far as I understand, some of his stuff is really, really good.

1:19:41

Some of his stuff is offensive.

1:19:42

And it's everything in between.

1:19:44

Now, I'm not gunning for you.

1:19:46

No, no, no.

1:19:47

I don't take that offensively.

1:19:48

I take it in the fact that you're here.

1:19:51

But let's get back to what I was saying about having,

1:19:54

if my pieces naturally come together and form those same structure,

1:20:00

well, here we have...

1:20:03

How do they not, Eric?

1:20:04

Well, I'm going to show them.

1:20:05

Here's where 12 bubbles meet.

1:20:06

If you go to the yellow one right there,

1:20:09

Jamie, please tap on that.

1:20:11

This is where the negative space where 12 bubbles meet.

1:20:15

I call this the Arbrian.

1:20:17

I named it after my oldest daughter.

1:20:18

Okay.

1:20:19

You can take a look at it and how it behaves.

1:20:22

Here, Joe.

1:20:24

So you can have it and you...

1:20:26

You can have a larger one or a smaller one.

1:20:28

By the way, I would be honored to have...

1:20:30

I'm going to give you some of these pieces.

1:20:31

Anything that you make of this type in my home is very, very cool.

1:20:34

I'm about to...

1:20:35

So when I put 10 of them together, they look like this.

1:20:39

Yeah.

1:20:40

I put 20 of them together.

1:20:42

They make a natural icosahedron.

1:20:46

Yeah.

1:20:47

Without breaking any rules,

1:20:52

I'm saying that the...

1:20:54

I believe in this.

1:20:55

This I don't...

1:20:56

I don't disbelieve.

1:20:57

I haven't gone through the math,

1:20:58

but I don't disbelieve this.

1:20:59

I'm not...

1:21:00

I want to...

1:21:00

I said the same thing about one other thing.

1:21:02

So here's the light unit.

1:21:04

If you'll go back to the green,

1:21:05

Jamie, please.

1:21:07

This is the light unit.

1:21:09

Now we're going to get into some stuff

1:21:11

that's not going to be so much fun,

1:21:13

but it is going to be...

1:21:14

You are going to get what you want.

1:21:16

No, you're going to love this.

1:21:17

You're going to love this

1:21:17

because what I'm going to show you,

1:21:19

as I said...

1:21:21

Whoa.

1:21:21

And what you said concerning...

1:21:26

Here.

1:21:28

Now look at that.

1:21:29

That's pretty dope.

1:21:30

Put that down.

1:21:30

And it'll show you...

1:21:32

this is where 20...

1:21:34

where I've put 20 of them together

1:21:36

the same way I put 20 of these together,

1:21:38

and it makes a natural dodecahedron.

1:21:41

But what it's showing you

1:21:42

is where electricity

1:21:44

is being pushed into the center,

1:21:46

and you'll see these magnetic waves coming out.

1:21:49

It's showing you the magnetic field.

1:21:51

So these predict

1:21:53

and create a natural dodecahedron,

1:21:56

whereas these come together

1:21:58

and create a natural arcosahedron.

1:22:00

that's not something

1:22:01

that just happens by accident.

1:22:03

No, this isn't an accident.

1:22:05

This is...

1:22:07

I'll put it over there.

1:22:08

What's going on, Terrence, for me...

1:22:11

Can you connect all these together

1:22:12

in one big ball of fury?

1:22:13

Yes.

1:22:14

Yes, they just keep getting...

1:22:15

Because it's supersymmetry.

1:22:17

They all fit together.

1:22:19

I want to see these and these together.

1:22:20

It ain't supersymmetry,

1:22:22

but it's freaking cool.

1:22:23

Right.

1:22:23

I know what you're saying.

1:22:24

The problem is that term, right?

1:22:26

It keeps using that term.

1:22:27

Again, my point is

1:22:29

that you can run into all kinds of terms of art

1:22:31

in a field that you don't know well.

1:22:32

Right.

1:22:33

And Terrence is...

1:22:35

Like, I come on your show

1:22:38

and I do this thing,

1:22:39

which I've never really discussed why I do it.

1:22:41

I have this feeling that somehow

1:22:43

Sean Carroll, 15 years ago,

1:22:45

started talking about a suite of ideas

1:22:47

like entanglement, the multiverse,

1:22:49

these Boltzmann brains, whatever.

1:22:53

And people have been talking about them ever since

1:22:55

because it was a very successful tour.

1:22:57

Much of the coolest stuff in mathematics and physics

1:23:01

that's completely established,

1:23:02

that's non-speculative,

1:23:04

is not discussed.

1:23:06

And I don't know why.

1:23:07

And one of the things that I tried to do

1:23:08

is I tried to show you the hop vibration.

1:23:10

I tried to do the thing about the Dirac string trick.

1:23:16

Terrence is bringing cool stuff

1:23:20

from the world of geometry.

1:23:21

It's a proof, effectively,

1:23:26

that people don't know where it's coming from.

1:23:29

A lot of this is real as geometry.

1:23:31

He, if you look at the thing

1:23:34

that he calls the Tarrington, right?

1:23:36

The Tetrean, what?

1:23:38

The Tetrean is the...

1:23:39

The Tetrean.

1:23:40

The Tetrean is just the Tetrean.

1:23:41

So the Tetrean that is the thing

1:23:42

that is closest to us,

1:23:43

the black thing that is closest to us.

1:23:45

Yeah, tap, yeah.

1:23:45

So he then starts to make noises about it.

1:23:48

And he says things that I don't love,

1:23:50

which are that those faces

1:23:52

he associates with the electric field

1:23:56

and the vertices,

1:23:58

which sometimes he calls vortices

1:23:59

and sometimes...

1:24:00

I'm not quite sure.

1:24:01

He associates with the magnetic field.

1:24:04

Yes.

1:24:05

Now, I don't have a clue

1:24:09

why he says the next thing,

1:24:12

which is...

1:24:13

And because the number of magnetic

1:24:16

and the number of electric things

1:24:19

are balanced,

1:24:20

they cancel out

1:24:22

and therefore it's the weak force.

1:24:23

And to me,

1:24:24

it's just like super cool stuff

1:24:28

and then suddenly turns into horseshit.

1:24:31

But listen, why?

1:24:32

Here we have those two Tetreans on the end.

1:24:37

They share...

1:24:39

They both have equal poles,

1:24:40

four electric poles

1:24:41

and four magnetic poles,

1:24:43

according to how I see it,

1:24:44

where magnetism is spinning off of the tips,

1:24:48

the vortices,

1:24:49

because it's no longer able to maintain

1:24:51

that center space of spinning centripetly.

1:24:54

I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

1:24:56

What brought you to that conclusion?

1:24:58

With what?

1:24:59

The way you're describing the energy involved in this.

1:25:02

Well, anytime you look at electricity,

1:25:03

that was one of the things

1:25:04

that Victor Schauberger was talking about.

1:25:07

Electricity is...

1:25:09

It's when water starts to spin to the right,

1:25:11

it cools down.

1:25:13

That's the natural nature of electricity.

1:25:16

Electricity is colder.

1:25:17

It flows better in the coldest environment.

1:25:22

So those...

1:25:24

As it's cooling down,

1:25:25

as it's spinning down to a higher point,

1:25:27

trying to get to that higher point,

1:25:29

that's the highest point there.

1:25:31

It's looking for the highest density.

1:25:33

That's the north.

1:25:34

North is always the highest density.

1:25:36

South, no matter where you are,

1:25:39

south is always away from the higher point

1:25:42

when you're talking about universally,

1:25:44

not talking about geographically on the earth.

1:25:47

North is always seeking a higher position.

1:25:49

South is always seeking a lower position.

1:25:52

That's based upon stuff

1:25:53

that Walter Russell talked about,

1:25:54

based upon the stuff

1:25:56

that Victor Schauberger talked about.

1:25:58

But it's a problem

1:25:59

with the definition of the words, the terms.

1:26:02

Right, but your description of electromagnetic force

1:26:07

and magnetism,

1:26:09

like what is happening

1:26:13

that it's bringing you to this conclusion

1:26:15

that you're so specifically saying

1:26:17

that something that you literally can't even see

1:26:19

with the human eye

1:26:20

is happening very clearly.

1:26:23

I'm saying four magnetic fields

1:26:25

are pushing in on that area.

1:26:28

I don't see magnetic fields.

1:26:31

I see those spheres.

1:26:33

Would be magnetism,

1:26:35

what does magnetism do?

1:26:36

It expands out.

1:26:37

But what brings you to the conclusion

1:26:39

that electric...

1:26:40

Well, let's say radiative field.

1:26:41

Let me use the term radiative field.

1:26:42

Do you know what we think

1:26:43

electricity and magnetism are?

1:26:45

You think it's the same thing.

1:26:47

No.

1:26:48

Part of the same force

1:26:49

that you have them coupled together.

1:26:50

What do you think?

1:26:50

Jamie, could I ask you

1:26:53

to find a Faraday tensor?

1:26:57

Yeah, what I was trying to get

1:26:58

to the conclusion,

1:26:59

like magnetism and electricity,

1:27:01

like what brings you

1:27:02

to this definitive conclusion

1:27:04

that you can so clearly state

1:27:06

that this is what's happening there?

1:27:07

Well, based upon

1:27:10

any time there's an electric force

1:27:12

acting on something,

1:27:14

it causes a cavity.

1:27:15

Electricity is always pulling in

1:27:17

from the inside.

1:27:18

It's always trying to tighten the density.

1:27:22

And you assume this energy

1:27:23

exists in the flower of life.

1:27:24

Why?

1:27:24

Because that's where

1:27:26

all those circles,

1:27:28

the overlapping circles,

1:27:29

they represent the magnetic field.

1:27:31

They represent the radiative field

1:27:34

that's coming out and coming back.

1:27:36

Well, why does a bubble

1:27:37

take the shape of a ball?

1:27:38

Why not a square or a triangle?

1:27:41

Why does it expand into a sphere?

1:27:44

A sphere is an abstraction

1:27:45

that's going to be the solution

1:27:48

to many different problems.

1:27:49

If I ask you to give me

1:27:50

the maximum possible volume

1:27:52

with the minimum possible area,

1:27:54

I'm going to get a sphere.

1:27:56

If I ask you

1:27:57

what is the best thing

1:27:59

to launch out of an old-style canon

1:28:01

and to stack next to it,

1:28:03

you're going to say a sphere.

1:28:04

Then you have a question about

1:28:06

is that the same concept of a sphere?

1:28:08

You know,

1:28:09

if I take the three-dimensional sphere

1:28:11

of unit quaternions,

1:28:12

is that the same concept of a sphere?

1:28:16

You are in part freely associating,

1:28:20

repeatedly,

1:28:21

between things that remind you

1:28:23

of other things.

1:28:24

Now,

1:28:24

you have an incredible storehouse

1:28:26

of things between your ears

1:28:27

that you know to associate with.

1:28:30

And your brain is like,

1:28:32

I mean,

1:28:32

in part,

1:28:32

it's like,

1:28:34

if you think about

1:28:35

the totality of your brain,

1:28:36

it's like a Ferrari engine

1:28:37

and a Volkswagen.

1:28:38

The Volkswagen chassis

1:28:40

is not capable of supporting

1:28:42

something else

1:28:43

that you're doing really well.

1:28:44

And so what you're constantly doing,

1:28:46

as far as I can tell...

1:28:47

The chassis being education,

1:28:48

formal education.

1:28:49

It's not just that.

1:28:50

I mean,

1:28:50

it's in part...

1:28:52

People who see many connections

1:28:57

are often bad

1:28:58

at cleaning up their own stuff.

1:29:00

And people who don't see connections

1:29:02

are often very rigorous

1:29:04

and they don't do shit

1:29:05

for their entire life.

1:29:06

Right?

1:29:06

See,

1:29:07

that's why I like...

1:29:07

I love the geometry

1:29:09

because the geometry

1:29:10

demonstrates,

1:29:11

even though I've been autodidactic

1:29:14

and have learned these things

1:29:15

on my own,

1:29:16

the geometry

1:29:17

is its own proof.

1:29:19

Like,

1:29:19

even in showing

1:29:20

that these become...

1:29:21

that these create

1:29:22

an icosahedron,

1:29:23

if you'll move those

1:29:25

just for a second...

1:29:26

Eric,

1:29:26

you pulled this up,

1:29:27

though,

1:29:27

before we get any further

1:29:28

away from that.

1:29:28

Explain this, please.

1:29:29

Electromagnetic tensor.

1:29:31

What you see,

1:29:31

that F super mu nu

1:29:33

is an anti-symmetric

1:29:36

four-by-four matrix.

1:29:37

That is,

1:29:38

there are only six

1:29:39

independent components

1:29:41

because if you flip

1:29:44

that matrix

1:29:45

from the northwest

1:29:46

to the southeast

1:29:49

as the line

1:29:51

in which you flip over

1:29:52

with the zeros,

1:29:52

the things above the zeros

1:29:55

determine the things below.

1:29:56

So there are six

1:29:57

independent entries

1:29:58

in the top triangle.

1:30:00

Now,

1:30:00

the top three

1:30:01

are the electric components

1:30:03

in a Cartesian coordinate system

1:30:05

of the tensor,

1:30:06

and the B fields

1:30:09

are the magnetic.

1:30:10

Terence could say something

1:30:14

closer to what we understand

1:30:16

reality to be.

1:30:16

He could,

1:30:17

for example,

1:30:18

hold up a cube

1:30:19

and say,

1:30:20

you know,

1:30:20

the six faces

1:30:21

of the cube

1:30:22

remind me

1:30:23

of the six

1:30:25

independent entries

1:30:27

in the electromagnetic

1:30:28

field strength.

1:30:29

And then,

1:30:31

the idea is

1:30:32

there's a duality,

1:30:33

and the duality

1:30:34

relates the electric field

1:30:35

to the magnetic field.

1:30:36

And then he might

1:30:37

invent something

1:30:38

called

1:30:38

Olive-Montone

1:30:41

and electromagnetic duality.

1:30:42

Right?

1:30:43

So,

1:30:44

in other words,

1:30:45

if I took the top three,

1:30:46

if I hold the cube

1:30:48

up like this

1:30:48

and I put electric

1:30:49

above and magnetic below,

1:30:52

and then I did

1:30:53

a transformation

1:30:54

that took top faces

1:30:56

to bottom faces,

1:30:57

he would be doing

1:30:59

something

1:30:59

that might bring him

1:31:01

to recent research

1:31:03

on electromagnetic duality.

1:31:05

But instead,

1:31:06

what's happening

1:31:07

is that the spheres

1:31:08

are reminding him

1:31:09

of waves,

1:31:10

like wave fronts

1:31:12

that are expanding

1:31:13

spherically.

1:31:14

And he's got

1:31:16

super cool geometry

1:31:18

that the reason

1:31:19

that this is so cool

1:31:20

is that we haven't

1:31:20

seen much of it.

1:31:21

And it's not saying

1:31:22

that it doesn't exist.

1:31:23

I'm not saying

1:31:23

he's the inventor.

1:31:24

Well,

1:31:25

I am the inventor

1:31:26

because I own

1:31:26

the patents to it.

1:31:27

But you can find out

1:31:28

that there's prior art

1:31:29

later.

1:31:30

Look,

1:31:30

everybody's been hurt.

1:31:32

I would love

1:31:32

to see that.

1:31:33

Like I said,

1:31:34

though,

1:31:34

I think...

1:31:35

Terrence,

1:31:35

I have no desire

1:31:37

to take this away.

1:31:37

So far as I know,

1:31:38

you're the first person

1:31:39

to do this.

1:31:40

Now,

1:31:41

with that said,

1:31:42

you're taking something

1:31:44

where he's saying

1:31:44

real stuff

1:31:45

about geometrical

1:31:48

understanding

1:31:49

based on a

1:31:50

spiritual undertaking.

1:31:53

And it used to be

1:31:53

that spirituality

1:31:54

and science

1:31:55

were hand in hand.

1:31:56

That's what I was

1:31:57

trying to say

1:31:57

about the Kerala school

1:31:58

that figured out

1:31:59

almost got calculus

1:32:00

coming out of

1:32:01

religious verse,

1:32:02

like stuff that rhymed.

1:32:03

It's crazy.

1:32:04

Terrence is coming

1:32:07

from an older perspective

1:32:08

where he's drawing

1:32:09

tons of inspiration

1:32:10

from all these

1:32:11

different sources.

1:32:12

I can track it,

1:32:13

but good luck

1:32:14

finding people

1:32:15

who can track this

1:32:15

because the number

1:32:17

of people who can do

1:32:18

this is very,

1:32:19

very small.

1:32:19

But that's the problem.

1:32:20

Okay, go ahead.

1:32:21

Agreed.

1:32:21

Now,

1:32:22

then,

1:32:23

every time he steps

1:32:24

on a landmine,

1:32:25

my colleagues

1:32:26

just start laughing

1:32:27

and that makes me crazy

1:32:29

because they could

1:32:31

help him

1:32:32

figure out

1:32:33

what actually

1:32:34

he is trying to say.

1:32:35

So if we go back

1:32:36

back to his flower...

1:32:37

This electromagnetic

1:32:38

tensor,

1:32:39

how does this apply

1:32:40

to these patterns

1:32:43

and the void

1:32:43

between these patterns?

1:32:44

That thing,

1:32:45

we did not understand

1:32:47

until the mid-1970s.

1:32:49

Remember I tried

1:32:49

to tell you

1:32:50

to get Jim Simons

1:32:51

on this podcast

1:32:51

and then he just died?

1:32:52

Jim Simons

1:32:55

and Sien Yang

1:32:56

figured out,

1:32:57

and this is going to

1:32:58

figure into

1:32:58

what Terrence is saying,

1:32:59

that everything,

1:33:00

all forces are curvature.

1:33:02

It's not just gravity,

1:33:03

which we've known

1:33:04

has been curvature

1:33:05

since 1915,

1:33:06

actually 1913

1:33:08

for Einstein Grossman.

1:33:09

It's actually the case

1:33:11

that electromagnetism,

1:33:13

the weak force

1:33:15

and the strong force

1:33:16

are a different form

1:33:17

of curvature,

1:33:18

which might be called

1:33:19

Erismanian curvature

1:33:20

or fiber bundle curvature,

1:33:21

which is not necessarily

1:33:22

Ramanian intrinsic curvature.

1:33:24

This object

1:33:26

encodes the curvature,

1:33:28

encodes electromagnetism

1:33:29

as the components

1:33:30

of curvature.

1:33:31

to your point

1:33:32

about nothing is

1:33:33

a straight line.

1:33:34

But this is where

1:33:36

I have issues.

1:33:37

You're talking about

1:33:38

this is in Cartesian space

1:33:40

and in Cartesian space,

1:33:42

curvature is not allowed.

1:33:44

There's no curvature

1:33:46

that's allowed

1:33:47

in Cartesian space.

1:33:48

No, that's wrong.

1:33:49

Really?

1:33:50

Yeah, because what you have,

1:33:52

and by the way,

1:33:53

this is a super subtle thing.

1:33:54

We've only really known

1:33:55

this for 50 years,

1:33:56

thereabouts.

1:33:57

There is a weird,

1:34:01

mysterious circle

1:34:02

that none of us

1:34:03

can see

1:34:04

at every point

1:34:05

in space and time

1:34:06

that we can't derive

1:34:07

from space.

1:34:08

Okay?

1:34:09

You can have space-time

1:34:10

and something else

1:34:11

put a circle

1:34:12

at every point

1:34:13

that is obscured from us.

1:34:15

And that thing

1:34:17

has a curvature

1:34:18

even if space and time

1:34:19

is flat.

1:34:20

So we call it

1:34:21

idealization

1:34:22

of flat space-time

1:34:24

Minkowski space.

1:34:25

You can slap

1:34:26

a curvature tensor

1:34:28

of a circle

1:34:29

on top of it,

1:34:30

generate this,

1:34:31

and it wasn't until,

1:34:32

and this is mind-blowing.

1:34:33

Can we get the

1:34:34

Aronoff-Bohm effect

1:34:35

up here?

1:34:36

See, but that's where

1:34:37

my biggest issue

1:34:39

is why go through

1:34:41

all of those steps

1:34:42

to define curved space

1:34:44

with flat plane matrix

1:34:47

when you have

1:34:48

the definition of it

1:34:50

right in front of you?

1:34:52

That's why

1:34:53

when you get a chance,

1:34:54

I'd love for you

1:34:54

to lay these out

1:34:55

so you can see

1:34:56

it predicts

1:34:57

every distribution,

1:34:58

every waveform.

1:34:59

There's nothing

1:35:00

that this doesn't predict.

1:35:01

I want you to think

1:35:02

about,

1:35:02

you ever play blackjack?

1:35:03

I've never been good

1:35:05

at blackjack.

1:35:06

Okay.

1:35:06

Well, that's...

1:35:07

I've never been good.

1:35:07

Because you're sitting there...

1:35:08

I always overbett.

1:35:09

You're sitting...

1:35:09

I always overbett.

1:35:10

You're overbett.

1:35:11

Hit at 17.

1:35:11

And you're sitting there

1:35:13

on 19,

1:35:13

and you say,

1:35:14

hit me.

1:35:14

And all I hear

1:35:16

is,

1:35:16

hit me on 19,

1:35:17

and you keep going over.

1:35:19

Okay.

1:35:20

All right?

1:35:20

Now,

1:35:22

this thing here

1:35:23

is a proof.

1:35:27

This is a gift for you.

1:35:29

This says,

1:35:31

we did not understand

1:35:32

classical electromagnetism

1:35:33

until the late 1950s,

1:35:35

well after Mr. Maxwell.

1:35:37

Now,

1:35:38

what happened is

1:35:40

we thought electromagnetism

1:35:42

was that thing

1:35:42

with the electric magnetic

1:35:44

field components

1:35:45

that we just saw.

1:35:46

if you put

1:35:48

a wire

1:35:50

coming out

1:35:52

of the plane

1:35:52

of the screen

1:35:53

and you insulate it

1:35:55

where it says solenoid,

1:35:56

can we just isolate that?

1:35:57

Mm-hmm.

1:35:58

We can see it.

1:35:59

Yeah.

1:35:59

Okay.

1:36:00

Now,

1:36:02

you have this crazy thing

1:36:03

which is like

1:36:03

you have a cathode ray tube

1:36:05

at A,

1:36:05

let's imagine,

1:36:06

and you shoot it

1:36:07

through a double slit

1:36:08

and you want to know

1:36:11

whether or not

1:36:12

there's current flowing

1:36:13

in this insulated thing

1:36:15

that you can't see.

1:36:15

Now,

1:36:16

you think that the insulation

1:36:17

is going to keep you

1:36:18

from being able to tell

1:36:19

whether there's current flowing.

1:36:20

It turns out

1:36:21

that the interference pattern

1:36:23

changes whether there's current

1:36:27

even though there's no E and B fields

1:36:29

outside of that insulated structure.

1:36:32

And that proves

1:36:34

that it cannot be

1:36:35

the electromagnetic field strength

1:36:37

that actually determines

1:36:38

electromagnetic phenomena.

1:36:40

What's really going on,

1:36:42

can we call up

1:36:43

the electromagnetic four potential?

1:36:45

So one of the things is

1:36:48

if you want to hang

1:36:49

with the cool kids

1:36:50

on any of this stuff,

1:36:51

you don't try to map

1:36:53

the electromagnetic fields

1:36:54

because it's the electromagnetic

1:36:55

four potential

1:36:57

that's got it going on.

1:36:58

Look at that thing.

1:36:59

That was cool as fuck.

1:37:01

I'm looking for something

1:37:02

that looks like

1:37:03

A equals

1:37:04

and then four components.

1:37:06

Well,

1:37:07

you hit that thing,

1:37:09

what you just had.

1:37:10

That's good.

1:37:10

That A,

1:37:13

where you see

1:37:14

partial derivative of A,

1:37:16

that thing is called

1:37:17

the gauge potential.

1:37:18

And the gauge potential,

1:37:19

it's the force potential.

1:37:20

The gauge potential

1:37:22

is really where

1:37:23

the electromagnetism

1:37:24

is happening.

1:37:25

This thing over here

1:37:26

on the right,

1:37:26

the Faraday tensor,

1:37:28

is a consequence

1:37:30

of the real star

1:37:32

of the show.

1:37:32

A is the thing

1:37:35

that matters.

1:37:36

And we thought

1:37:37

that A was

1:37:37

a convenience product

1:37:38

that constructed

1:37:39

the electromagnetic field strength

1:37:41

until the late 1950s.

1:37:42

I think one of these guys

1:37:43

who developed this,

1:37:44

his name is

1:37:45

Yakir Aronoff,

1:37:46

who's at Chapman University,

1:37:48

I think he's still alive.

1:37:49

So in other words,

1:37:50

we fooled ourselves

1:37:51

into thinking

1:37:52

we understood electromagnetism

1:37:53

until the late 1950s,

1:37:55

which is one of the reasons

1:37:56

that you listen

1:37:57

to your heterodox colleagues

1:37:58

as opposed to making fun

1:37:59

of them mercilessly

1:38:00

because you're not nearly

1:38:02

as smart as you think you are.

1:38:03

Now,

1:38:04

most of the time

1:38:04

what Neil says is,

1:38:07

oh yes,

1:38:07

one in 10,000

1:38:08

heterodox people

1:38:10

have a point.

1:38:10

And Neil bets

1:38:12

on the 9,999

1:38:14

who don't.

1:38:15

And so he doesn't listen.

1:38:16

This thing here

1:38:18

is a proof

1:38:21

that you can find

1:38:23

elementary omissions

1:38:25

very late in the game

1:38:27

that change everything.

1:38:29

And everybody

1:38:30

who pretends

1:38:31

that peer review works

1:38:32

and that we've known

1:38:34

this since antiquity,

1:38:35

all this stuff,

1:38:36

they need to understand

1:38:37

the exceptions

1:38:37

we've already found.

1:38:38

If Terence wants

1:38:39

to do good,

1:38:40

he would take that A

1:38:42

with the new

1:38:42

at the beginning

1:38:44

and he would say,

1:38:45

okay,

1:38:46

electromagnetism

1:38:47

isn't about the electric

1:38:48

and magnetic fields.

1:38:49

It's about four

1:38:50

of these suckers

1:38:51

rather than six of those.

1:38:52

On a simple level,

1:38:55

how would you describe

1:38:56

electricity?

1:38:57

Well,

1:38:59

I wouldn't know

1:38:59

how to do it simply.

1:39:00

Electricity is really,

1:39:03

electromagnetism

1:39:04

is really about

1:39:06

rock,

1:39:07

paper,

1:39:07

scissors.

1:39:08

In other words,

1:39:09

is rock better

1:39:11

than paper?

1:39:12

No,

1:39:14

it's worse.

1:39:14

Then you do it

1:39:15

around that thing.

1:39:16

The failure of these things

1:39:17

to knit together,

1:39:18

if I had...

1:39:20

Terence,

1:39:20

give me your hands.

1:39:22

I want to put my hand

1:39:24

over yours

1:39:25

and then you put...

1:39:26

Under,

1:39:26

go with your right hand

1:39:27

under,

1:39:27

it's like jujitsu.

1:39:28

Go right hand under,

1:39:29

under on your hand

1:39:31

and I'll grab his wrist.

1:39:32

There you go.

1:39:32

That thing,

1:39:33

who's on top?

1:39:35

All of us.

1:39:37

Okay,

1:39:37

the electromagnetic field strength,

1:39:39

so now make your hand

1:39:41

into like a plane,

1:39:42

measures the degree

1:39:45

of the Escher staircase.

1:39:47

The Escherness

1:39:47

in that Penrose staircase

1:39:49

is measured

1:39:50

by that E and B stuff.

1:39:51

Okay?

1:39:52

That A

1:39:55

basically measure

1:39:57

is the collection

1:39:59

of hands

1:40:00

that we had,

1:40:00

the planes.

1:40:01

Jamie,

1:40:02

show the Penrose staircase

1:40:04

just so people know

1:40:05

what the fuck

1:40:05

we're talking about

1:40:05

because it's a very bizarre

1:40:07

optical illusion.

1:40:08

There it is.

1:40:12

So the key point

1:40:13

is the Penrose staircase

1:40:14

is not just an optical illusion.

1:40:16

It's actually an effect

1:40:17

called holonomy

1:40:18

and those things

1:40:20

are called

1:40:20

horizontal subspaces

1:40:21

and the electromagnetic potential

1:40:23

which gives rise

1:40:24

to the photon

1:40:25

actually is a series

1:40:28

of stairs

1:40:29

that appears to be

1:40:29

in some kind

1:40:30

of a contradiction.

1:40:31

The curvature

1:40:32

that he keeps talking about

1:40:34

is the thing

1:40:36

that actually resolves

1:40:37

that contradiction

1:40:38

and in a weird way

1:40:40

the photon is a function,

1:40:42

sorry,

1:40:42

the photon is a derivative

1:40:44

and the electron

1:40:46

is its function

1:40:47

and you use that derivative

1:40:49

to differentiate

1:40:49

the function.

1:40:50

That's a crazy way

1:40:51

of saying it

1:40:52

but at its deepest level

1:40:54

that's really what we are.

1:40:55

We're in a geometry

1:40:56

in which those flat planes

1:40:58

say derivative equals zero

1:40:59

and you're trying

1:41:01

to take the derivative

1:41:02

of an electron

1:41:03

based on this stuff

1:41:04

and geometrically

1:41:05

this only got worked out

1:41:06

in Stony Brook, Massachusetts

1:41:08

in the mid-1970s

1:41:10

except for a guy

1:41:11

named Robert Herman

1:41:12

who nobody listened to

1:41:13

in Boston

1:41:13

who was off self-publish.

1:41:16

Well, let's consider

1:41:19

one of the things

1:41:20

that this is talking about

1:41:21

again, this is where

1:41:23

I have issues

1:41:24

because we're talking

1:41:26

about two-dimensional

1:41:27

or three-dimensional space

1:41:29

that does not exist.

1:41:30

We're still talking

1:41:31

about imaginary things

1:41:33

instead of talking

1:41:34

about real things

1:41:35

like math's departure

1:41:37

from where numbers started

1:41:40

representing actual things.

1:41:42

math departed from that

1:41:44

to where now math

1:41:44

doesn't represent

1:41:46

actual things.

1:41:47

The numbers don't represent

1:41:48

any true things

1:41:50

and so anything can happen

1:41:52

inside the mathematics

1:41:53

that they build from

1:41:55

but when you have

1:41:56

the actual stuff

1:41:57

like what I wanted you to do

1:41:59

if you could lay these out

1:42:01

just for...

1:42:03

I'm so worried

1:42:03

I'm going to break these things.

1:42:04

No, you're not.

1:42:04

I made these over

1:42:06

the last few days.

1:42:06

Just lay them out.

1:42:07

You have to move

1:42:08

those other things

1:42:09

so you can see

1:42:09

and what I'm talking about

1:42:11

the interesting thing...

1:42:12

Bro, I want to see

1:42:12

a YouTube video

1:42:13

of you and your lab

1:42:15

putting these things together.

1:42:16

If you shine a light

1:42:18

on these

1:42:19

they end up creating

1:42:21

all of the cymatics.

1:42:23

No, don't even stack them up.

1:42:24

I don't even want you

1:42:25

to stack them.

1:42:26

I just want you to

1:42:27

align them

1:42:29

like I'm saying

1:42:31

if you move this one

1:42:34

out of that

1:42:35

out of the way

1:42:36

and some of those.

1:42:39

This will continually

1:42:41

predict every harmonic node

1:42:45

every wave function

1:42:47

it will continue on

1:42:49

they overlap on each other

1:42:51

to where any size

1:42:54

any crystalline configuration

1:42:57

that somebody could hope for

1:42:59

occurs.

1:43:00

This is the supersymmetry

1:43:03

that I'm talking about

1:43:05

that defines

1:43:06

the entire wave field.

1:43:08

This is one part of...

1:43:09

This is the crystalline

1:43:10

electric wave field.

1:43:11

That's not even...

1:43:12

That's just one of the crystals.

1:43:14

How cool is this?

1:43:14

Pretty cool.

1:43:15

The problem that you're in

1:43:16

right now

1:43:16

is

1:43:18

everything that you touch

1:43:21

in this space

1:43:22

made of spheres

1:43:23

and platonic solids

1:43:24

and whatever.

1:43:25

You could spend

1:43:25

your entire life

1:43:26

and I've seen people do it

1:43:28

staring into this

1:43:29

and just finding

1:43:31

cool thing

1:43:31

after cool thing

1:43:32

thinking that you're

1:43:33

seeing Jesus.

1:43:34

I promise you.

1:43:35

Okay?

1:43:35

I want you to hold

1:43:37

this in your hand.

1:43:38

This is made by a woman

1:43:39

named Beth Sheba Grossman.

1:43:41

Pleasure to shout her out.

1:43:43

She is a mathematical artist

1:43:45

par excellence.

1:43:46

Shout out to Beth.

1:43:47

That is an eight dimensional

1:43:49

lattice called E8

1:43:52

projected into three dimensions

1:43:54

which is one of the craziest

1:43:56

sort of sphere packing gadgets.

1:43:57

This is ultimately

1:43:59

maybe the weirdest object

1:44:01

in the universe.

1:44:02

It comes from a 248 dimensional group.

1:44:05

Wow.

1:44:06

Let me show you this

1:44:07

in real life.

1:44:08

No, no, no.

1:44:08

You're going to

1:44:11

bob and riff

1:44:12

and all this stuff.

1:44:13

Hold on.

1:44:14

Let them keep going.

1:44:14

And what I'm trying to get at

1:44:16

is

1:44:16

look

1:44:18

I want you to think about this

1:44:20

legitimately as a drug.

1:44:21

Okay?

1:44:23

And if you're not very careful

1:44:25

with the mathematics

1:44:26

that you're playing with

1:44:27

you are going to get so high.

1:44:29

You are going to see

1:44:31

everything connect to everything.

1:44:32

And there's a reason

1:44:35

that this stuff takes place

1:44:36

in Islamic art.

1:44:37

There's a reason.

1:44:39

You know,

1:44:40

if I bring up

1:44:41

this is another version

1:44:44

of the

1:44:45

self-duality of the tetrahedron.

1:44:49

I believe in spiritual

1:44:50

and sacred geometry

1:44:51

they call this the Merkaba

1:44:53

which is like Hebrew

1:44:54

for chariot.

1:44:55

Everything connects

1:44:58

to everything else

1:44:59

in this unbelievably

1:45:00

beautiful way.

1:45:01

And the concern

1:45:02

that I have

1:45:03

Terrence

1:45:04

to be entirely honest

1:45:05

is

1:45:05

you have to get disciplined

1:45:08

about this as a drug

1:45:10

because otherwise

1:45:11

you're going to see

1:45:11

everything

1:45:12

in everything

1:45:14

all the time

1:45:14

and you're going to have

1:45:15

the same

1:45:16

repetitive conversation

1:45:18

where people don't

1:45:18

take you seriously

1:45:19

because you're going to

1:45:20

keep hitting on 19.

1:45:21

But do

1:45:23

if these

1:45:24

if light passing

1:45:25

through these

1:45:26

show the same

1:45:27

cymatics

1:45:28

that we look at

1:45:30

when we're looking

1:45:31

at natural occurrences

1:45:32

of individual frequencies

1:45:34

doesn't that become

1:45:36

its own

1:45:36

secondary proof

1:45:38

beyond the symmetry

1:45:39

of what it does?

1:45:41

You say geometry

1:45:42

is a proof

1:45:43

and one of the things

1:45:44

is you are at your weakest

1:45:45

when you have

1:45:46

when you have an equal sign.

1:45:48

No, no, no.

1:45:48

You're at your strongest

1:45:49

geometrically.

1:45:49

You're at your weakest

1:45:51

when you have an equal sign.

1:45:53

You say the dumbest stuff

1:45:54

about equalities

1:45:56

and you say the coolest

1:45:57

stuff about geometries

1:45:58

and I wonder

1:46:01

whether you mean something

1:46:03

like it took me

1:46:03

a long time

1:46:04

to figure out

1:46:05

what I think you mean

1:46:06

when you do this riff

1:46:07

on the square root of 2.

1:46:08

Jamie, could I trouble you

1:46:10

for that portal group

1:46:12

slash TH?

1:46:14

Okay.

1:46:18

If you do the square root

1:46:20

of 2 challenge, right?

1:46:21

You say Howard's

1:46:22

unbalanced equation.

1:46:23

You say,

1:46:24

okay, take the square root

1:46:25

of 2.

1:46:25

You cube it.

1:46:27

That's equal to 2 times

1:46:29

the square root of 2.

1:46:30

That is illogical.

1:46:31

It is unbalanced.

1:46:32

It is unnatural.

1:46:33

Now, at first,

1:46:35

I had no idea

1:46:36

what the hell you were doing.

1:46:37

So, I came up

1:46:37

with something

1:46:38

to prove to you

1:46:39

that I'm trying

1:46:40

to understand you

1:46:41

and I said,

1:46:42

take the number

1:46:42

of magi

1:46:43

at Jesus' birth.

1:46:45

He was born

1:46:46

in the 25th day

1:46:48

of the 12th month.

1:46:49

If I raise

1:46:51

the 12th root of 3

1:46:53

to the 25th power

1:46:54

and I take the fact

1:46:56

that Jesus died

1:46:57

in the 9th hour

1:46:57

according to the Bible,

1:46:58

I see the same trinity

1:47:01

rooted by the number

1:47:03

of apostles.

1:47:03

Now, that seems

1:47:05

to be like a profound

1:47:06

statement.

1:47:07

But the fact is,

1:47:09

all I really did

1:47:10

is I created

1:47:11

an equation

1:47:13

based on two numbers,

1:47:15

x and y,

1:47:16

and your version of it

1:47:18

I put in 1

1:47:19

and square root of 2

1:47:20

and in mine

1:47:21

I used 12 and 3

1:47:23

and the reason

1:47:24

I got 12, 25

1:47:25

was that 25

1:47:26

is just 2 times 12

1:47:28

plus 1.

1:47:29

So, in other words,

1:47:30

the danger of this stuff

1:47:32

is that when you start

1:47:35

to see patterns

1:47:35

and you start to see

1:47:36

stuff that looks crazy,

1:47:37

you don't realize

1:47:39

what you're actually doing.

1:47:40

What you're really saying

1:47:41

is you're coming

1:47:42

from a perspective

1:47:43

that is philosophical

1:47:44

before it's scientific

1:47:45

or mathematical

1:47:45

and you have a statement

1:47:46

which says

1:47:47

everything is in motion

1:47:49

and then you go

1:47:50

into a riff

1:47:51

about loops

1:47:52

and you say

1:47:53

take out your calculator,

1:47:54

turn it to the side,

1:47:55

take the square root of 2,

1:47:57

cube it,

1:47:58

take that

1:47:59

divided by 2

1:48:01

and you do this thing

1:48:02

where you happen

1:48:03

to know the large

1:48:03

decimal expansion

1:48:04

up to a point

1:48:05

which increases

1:48:07

people's confidence.

1:48:08

You've got to be worried

1:48:08

because that's like

1:48:09

the confidence

1:48:10

in con man too

1:48:11

but you make a point.

1:48:13

We have a name

1:48:14

for the thing

1:48:14

you call a loop.

1:48:15

We call it

1:48:16

a fixed point.

1:48:17

A fixed point.

1:48:18

A fixed point.

1:48:19

Now, a fixed point,

1:48:20

you have something

1:48:21

called a transformation.

1:48:22

The transformation,

1:48:23

let me see if,

1:48:24

Jamie,

1:48:26

if we can bring that back

1:48:28

so I'm just trying

1:48:29

to standardize your,

1:48:31

can we go below that?

1:48:33

Let me see.

1:48:33

Okay, Terrence loop.

1:48:35

You have a mapping

1:48:37

T for Terrence

1:48:38

from the real numbers

1:48:39

to the real numbers

1:48:40

given by x cubed

1:48:41

divided by 2.

1:48:42

If you take the polynomial

1:48:45

y cubed minus 2y equals 0,

1:48:47

that factors

1:48:49

as y minus square root of 2

1:48:51

times y plus square root of 2

1:48:52

times y minus 0.

1:48:54

You claim that there's

1:48:56

only one number

1:48:56

that satisfies

1:48:57

a fixed point relationship

1:48:59

according to that mapping,

1:49:00

which you call a loop.

1:49:02

There are actually three,

1:49:03

0, negative square root of 2,

1:49:05

and 2.

1:49:06

You make the correct point

1:49:09

that if you iterate that

1:49:10

for numbers above

1:49:11

the square root of 2,

1:49:11

it's going to go off

1:49:12

to infinity.

1:49:13

If you were to go below

1:49:14

numbers of square root of 2

1:49:16

but above 0,

1:49:17

it'll go towards 0.

1:49:18

0 will go to 0.

1:49:19

And then you have

1:49:21

the same thing

1:49:21

below negative square root of 2,

1:49:23

it'll go off

1:49:23

to negative infinity.

1:49:24

And above square root of 2

1:49:26

but below 0,

1:49:27

I think it'll go off

1:49:27

to 0.

1:49:28

Okay?

1:49:28

That thing

1:49:30

is studied

1:49:32

under fixed point theory.

1:49:33

And you can look up

1:49:34

the Lefschetz fixed point theorem,

1:49:36

the Kakutani fixed point theorem,

1:49:37

the Brouwer fixed point theorem.

1:49:40

All of these

1:49:41

are proofs

1:49:42

that you have

1:49:43

to have fixed points.

1:49:44

Now I thought,

1:49:44

why does he keep

1:49:45

doing this RIF?

1:49:46

And then I realized

1:49:47

that he's got a thing

1:49:48

about everything

1:49:48

is in motion.

1:49:49

So for him,

1:49:51

it's unnatural

1:49:52

and illogical,

1:49:54

you use both words,

1:49:55

that the square root of 2

1:49:58

would be fixed

1:49:59

under this iterated

1:50:00

experiment.

1:50:01

Now,

1:50:02

that is not unnatural.

1:50:04

There is something,

1:50:06

I hate to say it,

1:50:07

it's called

1:50:08

the Harry Ball theorem.

1:50:09

Can we bring up

1:50:10

the Harry Ball theorem?

1:50:11

Before you put

1:50:12

your hairy balls

1:50:13

on my pieces.

1:50:14

That was good.

1:50:20

Okay,

1:50:21

the Harry Ball theorem

1:50:22

says that you cannot

1:50:23

comb the hair

1:50:24

on a Rambutan

1:50:25

without creating

1:50:29

a colic.

1:50:29

So let's see

1:50:31

if we have any

1:50:32

cool images of it.

1:50:33

In other words,

1:50:34

if you have a map

1:50:35

of the wind

1:50:35

that is going along

1:50:36

the surface of a sphere,

1:50:38

there has to be

1:50:39

some point

1:50:40

which is perfectly still.

1:50:41

If you have a map

1:50:43

of a sphere

1:50:43

to a sphere,

1:50:44

there has to be

1:50:44

some point

1:50:45

that doesn't move.

1:50:46

In other words,

1:50:48

what you're saying

1:50:49

about things

1:50:50

can't be still

1:50:51

is not only incorrect,

1:50:53

it is impossible

1:50:54

to avoid stillness.

1:50:58

and this is in part

1:50:59

what John Nash

1:51:00

got his Nobel award

1:51:03

in economics for

1:51:04

because he took work

1:51:06

of von Neumann

1:51:07

and Morgenstern

1:51:08

on two-person games,

1:51:10

turned them into

1:51:10

multi-person games

1:51:11

with a higher

1:51:12

dimensional fixed-point theorem

1:51:13

and said a multi-person game

1:51:15

is more interesting

1:51:16

because that's a market,

1:51:16

therefore markets

1:51:17

have equilibria.

1:51:19

So you're saying

1:51:20

real stuff

1:51:21

in a way

1:51:22

that fundamentally

1:51:23

just doesn't,

1:51:24

we don't know

1:51:26

how to talk

1:51:27

your talk.

1:51:28

Then teach me.

1:51:29

Yeah, I know.

1:51:30

Teach me.

1:51:30

I'm learning right now.

1:51:32

But Jamie,

1:51:33

do me a favor.

1:51:33

Pull up the calculator.

1:51:35

I want you to

1:51:36

pull up the calculator.

1:51:37

We're going to look

1:51:38

at this loop

1:51:38

and you tell me

1:51:40

that this loop

1:51:41

isn't a contradiction

1:51:42

and says that the math

1:51:45

is gone here.

1:51:45

I want a scientific calculator.

1:51:47

There we go.

1:51:48

Yep.

1:51:48

Okay.

1:51:48

Yep, hit two.

1:51:50

Square root.

1:51:52

It'll be over one more.

1:51:56

I think that may be it.

1:51:58

Yeah.

1:51:58

Yep.

1:51:59

Cubit.

1:52:00

Hit X to the third.

1:52:02

No, no.

1:52:03

No, no.

1:52:04

Go back.

1:52:05

Go back.

1:52:05

Yep.

1:52:06

Hit two.

1:52:07

Two.

1:52:08

Square root.

1:52:09

Cubit.

1:52:10

Up, right up there.

1:52:11

Yep.

1:52:11

Now divide by two.

1:52:13

Divide by two.

1:52:15

Hit equal.

1:52:16

Cubit again.

1:52:18

X to the third.

1:52:20

Divide by two.

1:52:21

That is a loop.

1:52:25

Cubit again.

1:52:27

Hit X to the third.

1:52:28

That's an unnatural equation.

1:52:32

Talk to me about unnatural.

1:52:33

It's a loop.

1:52:34

It's a tuck inside of the matrix.

1:52:37

It does not allow for math to make sense because of the square, because of the

1:52:42

identity principle.

1:52:43

Okay.

1:52:44

Eric.

1:52:47

You're trying to say a something.

1:52:48

What you're saying is wrong.

1:52:50

What I'm seeing, no.

1:52:52

No, no, no, no, no.

1:52:53

You're saying, what you're saying is fine.

1:52:55

I agree that you have a transformation that I called T.

1:52:57

You can put those two steps together, which is cube and divide by two.

1:53:02

That thing is going to be dead still till the end of time.

1:53:06

That's your point.

1:53:07

And then you pass judgment on it.

1:53:11

And you say, that is not logical and it's irrational.

1:53:15

And I don't know what you mean.

1:53:19

Well, because here we're multiplying something basically three times and it's

1:53:25

coming up to the same value as if we multiplied it by two.

1:53:29

And you keep doing that.

1:53:31

Yeah.

1:53:31

Oh, I did that with the 12th root of three.

1:53:34

And I have a transform just like you.

1:53:36

But that 12th root of three, that hypothetical situation you put up there does

1:53:42

not affect the rest of mathematics.

1:53:45

Sure it does.

1:53:46

That loop right there.

1:53:48

Oh, is your point that there's something special about the square root of two?

1:53:52

I'm saying that the square root of two is a manufactured number because of the

1:53:57

identity principle.

1:53:58

If the identity principle was not involved, then they wouldn't have a problem

1:54:04

with one times one equaling two.

1:54:06

Why are you offended by one times one equaling one?

1:54:10

Just because action and reaction.

1:54:12

The universe, it's the separation of math from science.

1:54:15

And math was supposed to define physical things.

1:54:19

So when they have things that doesn't align, we can't make sense.

1:54:23

The rest of the audience don't understand.

1:54:25

They're like, wait a minute.

1:54:26

Well, okay.

1:54:27

Objects in motion tend to remain in motion, right?

1:54:29

That was his first law.

1:54:31

Well, what's what do objects at rest do?

1:54:33

There's no object at rest.

1:54:35

Ah, so you have a problem with Mr. Newton.

1:54:37

No, no, there are no objects at rest because everything is sitting on something

1:54:42

that's in motion.

1:54:44

Everything is in motion within itself.

1:54:45

So this is like there's no straight lines in nature.

1:54:48

So the idea is you're saying at some level that you don't believe.

1:54:53

That anything's steel.

1:54:54

At a subatomic level.

1:54:56

That nothing's steel because everything in the universe is connected.

1:54:59

So if you have one steel thing, then everything connected to it also has to be

1:55:03

steel.

1:55:04

If I understand what you're doing and I try to steel man it, you're trying to

1:55:07

say, look, first of all, the vacuum isn't a vacuum.

1:55:09

It's roiling with activity, right?

1:55:12

The void isn't a void.

1:55:14

Stuff is happening.

1:55:15

Virtual particles are coming in and out of existence.

1:55:18

There is no vacuum, right?

1:55:20

You're very much in tune with modern physics on that.

1:55:22

You really are, okay?

1:55:24

Then you have this idea of math is supposed to be about the physical world.

1:55:29

It's not supposed to be unto itself.

1:55:31

And if there is no vacuum, then there is nothing at rest because the vacuum is

1:55:37

going to be in constant quantum tumult.

1:55:40

And then you get to the point, which is something that is rest, therefore is unphysical,

1:55:45

therefore it is unnatural.

1:55:47

It took me a long time to figure out what the hell.

1:55:49

No, I'm literally saying there is nothing in the universe that is at rest

1:55:55

because everything is moving and communicating through vibration.

1:55:59

And vibration requires oscillation and oscillation requires motion.

1:56:03

So what you're trying to say is that if the universe at its deepest level is a

1:56:10

quantum mechanical system in which there is no ability to create vacuum in a

1:56:18

naive sense that the vacuum that we talk about is not the vacuum that people naively

1:56:23

think.

1:56:24

Therefore, any mathematics that references anything that is zero or still or

1:56:29

whatever is invalid.

1:56:31

It's imaginary.

1:56:32

It's talking about an imaginary space.

1:56:34

Okay.

1:56:34

I don't know what to tell you about this because it's like if I say something

1:56:43

about a sphere, you might say, hey, Eric, what is the thickness of your sphere?

1:56:50

All the points unit distance away from the origin.

1:56:52

And I'd say, it has no thickness.

1:56:54

And you'd say, show me one thing in the universe that doesn't have thickness.

1:56:59

And then I'd say, well, wait a second.

1:57:02

I'm talking to you about a mathematical structure that exists as math.

1:57:08

You're like, I don't want it to hear about math that isn't immediately

1:57:11

referenced to physics.

1:57:12

First of all, that's not how this game goes.

1:57:14

When did physics, when did math separate from accounting for physical things?

1:57:20

Was the beginning of imaginary numbers?

1:57:22

The beginning of imagination.

1:57:24

I mean, you know, if I have a picture from AI of a woman that doesn't exist,

1:57:28

but you can't tell the fact that that was generated by an AI.

1:57:33

Are you going to say that that graphics file doesn't exist?

1:57:36

No, the graphics file exists.

1:57:38

Mathematics has a physically independent structure.

1:57:43

It is a system of logic.

1:57:46

Then you have this very weird thing, which is, you know, Eugene Wigner famously

1:57:49

talked about the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics and the physical

1:57:53

sciences.

1:57:54

But, you know, David Tong, I think, talked about the unreasonable effectiveness

1:57:59

of physics and the mathematical sciences.

1:58:02

That's many of us have had that for the last 50 years since Simons and Yang.

1:58:09

And then there's also this thing which people associate with Max Tegmark, which

1:58:13

is older, which is the mathematical universe, that the math is the basis, that

1:58:17

there is a point at which the map becomes the territory to borrow from our

1:58:20

friends in the psychedelic community.

1:58:24

Now, I can hear you, I can understand you, I can track you, but what you were

1:58:31

doing when you were lecturing is terrible.

1:58:34

It's really, really bad because you have points.

1:58:40

And by going over them and saying the super dramatic thing, you are, in fact,

1:58:45

causing people to, who don't trust Tony Fauci, let's say, because Tony Fauci

1:58:51

shouldn't be trusted, to say, maybe we can't trust mathematics.

1:58:57

Now, I have a lot of competitors, enemies, people I really don't like.

1:59:02

I have stalkers who actually stalk my family and interfere in my personal life

1:59:07

who have PhDs, okay?

1:59:09

My level of disagreement with them about the physical universe and the

1:59:14

mathematical universe is essentially zero up to 1973.

1:59:19

We don't really start to see a breakdown in the community of science, I think,

1:59:26

until the 1980s.

1:59:28

And why is that?

1:59:30

Well, money, money, power, money and power.

1:59:33

Ronald Reagan brought in a guy named Eric House to the NSF and the university

1:59:37

stopped expanding and they started playing games.

1:59:41

We had a thing called the Mansfield Amendment, which got the military out of

1:59:44

science, which was a disaster.

1:59:45

There's a lot of things that happened.

1:59:47

But imagine if science took a wrong turn when it walked down the road of

1:59:54

relativity.

1:59:57

If in abandoning the ether and now they've walked down this road and now they

2:00:02

realize that it's a potential dead end, but instead of turning around and

2:00:06

saying, okay, well, let's use the luminiferous ether that all of these

2:00:10

equations were built off of.

2:00:12

And here a young man that's outside of the world has come in and said, okay, I

2:00:17

have the wave conjugations that make up and prove the etheric nature, the etheric

2:00:24

substance.

2:00:26

So, Jamie, if we could bring back the portal group page, I can sort of show

2:00:31

what Terrence is talking about, what his geometries, how he relates them to the

2:00:36

physical world.

2:00:38

So, if we could go up to Howard's unifications claim.

2:00:41

Okay.

2:00:43

So, you say you've come up with the grand unified field equation.

2:00:49

First of all, he's doing something very unusual.

2:00:54

He's saying grand unified, which actually is less than unified, because unified

2:00:59

would include gravity.

2:01:00

But he's also drawing from a group, I think, called the Electric Universe.

2:01:05

No.

2:01:06

Okay.

2:01:06

No, no, no.

2:01:07

I'm drawing from Lorentz and Heinz's work when they were deciding, they were

2:01:14

trying to prove that it was electricity and magnetism.

2:01:17

They could derive all of the effects of nature that we see from electricity and

2:01:22

magnetism.

2:01:23

All right.

2:01:24

So, if we go down here, hopefully, because we just prepared this.

2:01:27

By the way, shout out to Dr. Brooke Dallas, who put this together and just got

2:01:31

her PhD from Caltech.

2:01:33

Congratulations.

2:01:34

Yeah.

2:01:35

Congratulations.

2:01:36

All of this, these four things, are how the community that you're trying to unseat

2:01:45

thinks about nature at its deepest level.

2:01:49

Now, let me see.

2:01:50

Is there anything under there?

2:01:51

Maybe not.

2:01:51

So, go up to, let's do David Tong's, because you brought up David Tong.

2:01:58

Okay.

2:01:58

I think I understand this, and I'm able to talk to you about it.

2:02:05

Is this something, so this is my community and how it thinks of everything in

2:02:10

the world.

2:02:11

All right?

2:02:12

Right.

2:02:12

Do you have a way of relating what you think about in terms of what my

2:02:18

community has wrong?

2:02:21

Does this mean anything to you?

2:02:24

If you remove gravity outside of the equation, you take gravity out, because

2:02:29

gravity is affected, gravity is actually covered by that strong electrical

2:02:35

force.

2:02:36

Terrence, one second.

2:02:37

Without, this is not a gotcha, and it's not me.

2:02:40

No, no, I know.

2:02:40

I'm not, I'm just saying.

2:02:41

Do you know how to read this?

2:02:42

As best as, we're talking about I as imaginary.

2:02:50

Yeah.

2:02:51

You know, D to the four.

2:02:52

I don't know what the D represents.

2:02:54

So that's the volume element saying that you're in four-dimensional space, and

2:02:57

you're going to take an integral.

2:02:58

And why to a negative G?

2:03:00

Why to a negative gravity?

2:03:01

That's the determinant of the space-time metric with which you might have an

2:03:05

issue.

2:03:06

Okay, so in other words, you're normalizing, you're saying that if the rulers

2:03:10

look one way or the rulers look another way, according to Einstein, you have to

2:03:14

put more weight or less weight on a region of space.

2:03:17

Do you know what that R is?

2:03:19

That's the foreplay, and then in the parentheses is where the stuff gets crazy.

2:03:24

Explain it.

2:03:25

That's what's called the scalar curvature.

2:03:27

So after Einstein did his big general relativistic field equations, that was

2:03:33

like Einstein scaling the sheer face of halftone.

2:03:37

Hilbert walked up the backside like a week later and said, you know, you can

2:03:41

derive your super complicated field equations from the simplest thing in the

2:03:44

world, which is the scalar curvature.

2:03:47

So when you say everything is curved, that R is the scalar curvature of

2:03:51

Einstein's pseudo-Romanian metric.

2:03:55

And then remember F.M.U. knew that's what we were just riffing on before?

2:03:58

That's saying we don't know what to do with the electromagnetic stuff, so we're

2:04:02

going to do the stupidest thing possible, and we're going to figure out how big

2:04:05

it is and square that, and we're going to shove that into this thing to be

2:04:10

minimized, which means make this as small as possible.

2:04:13

So give me the configuration that gives me the least electromagnetic size.

2:04:19

Then, because of 1954, a guy named Tien Yang and his sidekick Mills, who didn't

2:04:26

do nearly as much afterwards, said, you know what?

2:04:30

The strong and the weak force are exactly the same structure as electromagnetism,

2:04:35

and we didn't know that.

2:04:36

So nature, in that first line, from the R to the W, takes curvature four times,

2:04:43

and three of those are doubled, like F, F, G, G, W, W, but one of them is singly

2:04:49

in there, and that is really sort of the soul of the incompatibility, not what

2:04:53

Ed Witten says about you can't quantize gravity.

2:04:59

That's not the discrepancy we've been lied to for a long time, in my opinion.

2:05:03

What it is, is that the curvature that enters as gravitational and the

2:05:07

curvature that enters as the internal forces, the nuclear forces and

2:05:10

electromagnetism, occurs differently.

2:05:13

One is Ramanian, one is Erismanian.

2:05:16

The line below that, Dirac, in that term, psi bar d psi, is telling us the kinetics

2:05:23

and the interaction through minimal coupling of the matter with the force that's

2:05:30

in the line above.

2:05:33

And then the last three terms are the fudge factor due to Peter Higgs, because

2:05:37

when we found out in the late 50s, a gal named Madame Wu, the dragon lady of

2:05:42

physics, told us that if you put cobalt-60 and let it beta decay in a strong

2:05:47

magnetic field, all the particles come out spun one way.

2:05:52

And that left-right asymmetry meant that you couldn't put in masses in a

2:05:56

standard way for the matter, which is showing up as psi.

2:05:59

So instead what we do is we have this thing, which is a field called the Higgs

2:06:03

boson.

2:06:04

Psi is the wave function?

2:06:06

Psi is the fermionic wave function of the matter.

2:06:10

That's the quarks, that's the electron, and that's all the neutrinos that are

2:06:14

penetrating us all the time.

2:06:17

That kinetic term, the D-H's, tells us how this Higgs field will move, but

2:06:23

mostly, you see, imagine that in this room it's 69 degrees Fahrenheit, okay?

2:06:30

You think that it's the same everywhere, but maybe where Joe is is actually

2:06:35

like 68.7, and over there it's 70.1.

2:06:39

There's a different frequency, a different space.

2:06:40

And so that H thing is said to have a VEV that varies slightly in the world,

2:06:45

vacuum expectation value, because the vacuum isn't boring.

2:06:50

Right.

2:06:51

Now that V of H, that is the potential term that you neglect every time you say

2:06:56

that all energy in the world comes from kinetics.

2:06:59

That's not true.

2:07:01

And that V, and there's a portion hidden in those FFGGWWs, which is pure

2:07:07

potential.

2:07:08

That last thing, which is not commented upon here, is called the Yukawa

2:07:12

coupling.

2:07:13

And that last term is how the Higgs field gives the illusion of mass to the

2:07:21

matter, which was prohibited from having a naked mass,

2:07:25

because of the efforts of Madame Wu and Yang and Li, which is the same Yang of

2:07:29

Yang and Mills.

2:07:30

That thing that we just went through, which may have been boring to people, is

2:07:33

the source of everything we know about the world at its deepest level.

2:07:38

Right?

2:07:39

This thing right here, which might be called the partition function, is a Feynman

2:07:43

path integral of this.

2:07:45

And if you could understand what this is, we don't know of anything that isn't

2:07:49

in what you're seeing.

2:07:50

It's a woe.

2:07:51

Can I get a woe?

2:07:53

Can I get...

2:07:55

I live for this.

2:07:56

Now, this is the difference between having, you know, this has been...

2:08:02

They've been working on this for damn near 60, 70 years.

2:08:05

But they don't have any physical models that represent any of these things.

2:08:12

And if my physical models describe the electric force and the magnetic force,

2:08:18

and is able to account for all of the actions that takes place or the effects

2:08:24

that we see,

2:08:25

then it should be a better replacement instead of having to go through...

2:08:30

Terrence, you didn't do that.

2:08:31

I did do that.

2:08:32

Let me show you.

2:08:33

All right.

2:08:33

Let me show you.

2:08:33

All right.

2:08:33

Now it's time to show.

2:08:35

Okay.

2:08:35

Here we go.

2:08:36

I really want a YouTube video of him creating these things.

2:08:44

I would love that.

2:08:45

So...

2:08:46

Just you with an acetylene torch.

2:08:49

I want him in glass.

2:08:50

I want him in glass, brother.

2:08:52

Yeah, somebody needs to make these.

2:08:53

Yeah, well, I tried to do that before.

2:08:55

Well, you know, we have a community of mathematical artists I want to hook you

2:08:58

up.

2:08:58

I would love that.

2:08:59

So this tetrion, as I say, begins the entire dance.

2:09:03

It's the...

2:09:05

I would call that...

2:09:06

That would be plonk to me.

2:09:07

That would be the proton.

2:09:08

That would be the beginning of everything.

2:09:11

You map four different things to this.

2:09:13

You say, one, it's dark matter because it's interstitial.

2:09:17

Wait, wait, one second.

2:09:17

Okay.

2:09:17

You say, one, it's dark matter because it's interstitial.

2:09:20

Two, you say it's hydrogen.

2:09:23

It becomes...

2:09:25

Three, you say, well, look, it's got four electric and four magnetic because

2:09:31

you associate

2:09:32

the faces with electric and you associate with the vertices with the magnetic.

2:09:37

You say, you go back to Walter Russell, who has this whole thing about exhaling

2:09:41

and inhaling,

2:09:41

expanding and contraction.

2:09:43

You know, it's a lot like Ecclesiastes.

2:09:45

There's a time and purpose to everything under heaven.

2:09:48

And then you say, because it's balanced as four and four, it must be the weak

2:09:52

force because

2:09:53

there's no net voodoo on it.

2:09:57

Okay.

2:09:58

Then when you get to your, if you can bring up what you call the Huntian.

2:10:02

Hold on.

2:10:02

Let me, let's stay on this one.

2:10:05

All right.

2:10:05

Okay.

2:10:05

I say that this right here, like nothing in the universe, the universe does

2:10:10

nothing for

2:10:11

a single motive.

2:10:12

Everything has multiple purposes and accomplishes multiple things.

2:10:18

This becoming the, the geometry of hydrogen or the very first visible element

2:10:24

is as a result

2:10:25

of all of those forces pushing on it.

2:10:29

But the first, um, no, yeah, I can use another here.

2:10:32

Yeah.

2:10:32

It's called explainer juice.

2:10:36

Yes.

2:10:37

All right.

2:10:38

Yeah.

2:10:38

So thank you.

2:10:40

Thank you.

2:10:41

Thank both of you.

2:10:44

So if we start with this as, as electricity, then we want to go to the very

2:10:50

first phase

2:10:51

from it.

2:10:52

The first thing that happens to it is it decays the first line of decay.

2:10:57

And that first line of decay is literally just putting on two magnetic fields.

2:11:03

If you'll hold that for a second, um, I've got to get something else out.

2:11:08

I got to say, I love these things.

2:11:13

They're really, they're really, they're really dope.

2:11:15

Yeah.

2:11:15

You need a shelf in your office.

2:11:16

Yeah.

2:11:17

Uh, for sure.

2:11:18

I put this in my house, but Taryn, I just don't see.

2:11:21

We're not done.

2:11:22

All right.

2:11:23

We're not done.

2:11:23

All right.

2:11:24

So when you put, didn't you see the box you came in with bro?

2:11:28

What kind of box?

2:11:29

That.

2:11:29

No.

2:11:31

Box of stuff.

2:11:32

So when you, now, when they line up, then they begin to create, and if you lay

2:11:41

it down

2:11:42

on your, um, thing, you can lay them down and you'll see them align.

2:11:47

If you can, I want to design a skate park around these, uh, sharp surfaces,

2:11:55

this is going to

2:11:56

get fucked up.

2:11:56

Any, anytime you're urinating, a man is urinating, he sees this pattern where

2:12:04

it's expanding and

2:12:06

contracting.

2:12:06

Expanding, contracting, expanding, contracting, that braiding behind the boat,

2:12:11

this describes

2:12:12

that motion from, from that.

2:12:15

But then let's add, let's go to the next stage of decay.

2:12:18

The next stage of decay would be, it would be four, four sides.

2:12:23

Now, what these are responsible for, boom, boom.

2:12:30

How you doing, Eric?

2:12:31

All right, Joe.

2:12:32

Yeah, here we go.

2:12:33

And this is...

2:12:36

This is the hard part for me.

2:12:37

This is the fun part.

2:12:38

Okay.

2:12:38

This is the part I've been waiting for.

2:12:40

This is the part I've been waiting for.

2:12:43

Now, let's put this...

2:12:44

This is an elaborate hoax.

2:12:45

Yes.

2:12:46

My whole life is an elaborate hoax.

2:12:48

Now, I should be putting the patterns up so that everybody isn't out there

2:12:52

saying, you

2:12:53

know, this isn't his shit, but...

2:12:56

So, when you get to this level of decay, they start to come together and they

2:13:02

create this

2:13:03

natural...

2:13:03

How gorgeous is that?

2:13:04

Look at that.

2:13:05

But, do me a favor, they also create these spaces, and if you lay them out, one

2:13:12

on top

2:13:12

of...

2:13:13

Well, I'm still riffing on this one.

2:13:14

Well, you're about to see that interact with the other side.

2:13:18

Like, we came to play today.

2:13:22

Boy, nothing like these conversations make me understand how different people's

2:13:26

brains

2:13:27

work.

2:13:27

There's just different humans out there.

2:13:30

Here we go.

2:13:31

So, all right.

2:13:32

Let's...

2:13:34

If I can move some of your stuff.

2:13:36

By the way, I just didn't know what I was...

2:13:39

Yeah.

2:13:39

I brought, like, some weird tools in case you were going to make weird points.

2:13:42

So, if you're laying these out, you're starting to see this pattern.

2:13:48

But, what's interesting, these have chirality.

2:13:52

These spin in opposite directions from each other.

2:13:55

But, they ultimately...

2:13:57

They ultimately reform together to make...

2:14:04

To fully tell that story.

2:14:07

So, this is why category theory is so powerful.

2:14:12

Because you're analogizing brain.

2:14:14

I mean, let's be honest.

2:14:16

I want everybody to form...

2:14:18

Without saying anything to each other.

2:14:21

What is this most similar to?

2:14:23

The DNA.

2:14:26

All right.

2:14:26

I was going to say the same.

2:14:27

All right.

2:14:27

And, if it was DNA, what would be the interstitial between these two things?

2:14:32

That would be the...

2:14:34

That ladder.

2:14:35

Each line, it would be the...

2:14:37

That would be the...

2:14:37

The ATCG.

2:14:38

The hydrogen.

2:14:38

That would be the hydrogen bond.

2:14:40

It would be...

2:14:40

Okay.

2:14:41

Phosphorus, phosphorus, oxygen, oxygen.

2:14:43

Now, if I was a protein scientist, what would I say this was?

2:14:47

You would say it's a ribosome.

2:14:48

I would say it's an alpha helix.

2:14:51

Oh.

2:14:51

Right?

2:14:52

I would say this was a secondary structure in protein.

2:14:54

So, my claim is, is that one of the reasons that Rosalind Franklin didn't

2:15:00

actually get to the double helix

2:15:04

is that she was a really good scientist.

2:15:06

And Watson and Crick were not good scientists.

2:15:07

She said, look, I can see right through you.

2:15:11

You just found out that Linus Pauling figured out the alpha helix in protein.

2:15:17

And you wannabes who don't know jack shit about biochemistry want an alpha helix.

2:15:22

And you want to do nucleic acid as an alpha helix and look based on the x-ray

2:15:26

crystallography of the Maltese cross.

2:15:29

You're going to try to shove DNA into something so you get to be Linus Pauling

2:15:34

all over again.

2:15:35

I don't want any part of it.

2:15:36

And the problem for her was, yeah, helices are ubiquitous at all different

2:15:41

levels.

2:15:42

Right?

2:15:43

So, in other words, Watson and Crick didn't own the double helix.

2:15:47

What happened is, is that a very common structure that's going to come up over

2:15:50

and over again,

2:15:51

it's going to come up in viruses, where you have helical viruses, you have it

2:15:55

in protein, you have it in nucleic acid.

2:15:57

That structure is because there's a platonic form, which you're finding here.

2:16:04

You're going to find helices over and over and over again because you can't

2:16:08

really have nature stop finding the structure.

2:16:11

It doesn't belong to any instantiation of the system.

2:16:14

And so, everything is going to rhyme.

2:16:18

Now, your big problem is that everything rhymes to you because you know a lot

2:16:22

of stuff and you know a lot of similarities.

2:16:25

Your brain is very good at that.

2:16:26

And what your brain is not very good at is pruning the amount of rhymes that it

2:16:30

sees.

2:16:30

Well, what I'm, what I'm saying is this is defining all motion.

2:16:35

We just define the motion behind a boat.

2:16:37

We just define that other aspect.

2:16:40

And remember I was saying about the Tetris, about the Huntian being, being a

2:16:44

massless particle.

2:16:46

It only exists as a result of these four to eight Tetris pushing down because

2:16:51

of pressure.

2:16:52

The moment that these eight Tetris disappear, that interior space, it's no

2:16:58

longer there.

2:17:00

The moment that that disappears.

2:17:02

I don't know how to stop you from doing this.

2:17:04

I hate doing that.

2:17:05

I hate you stopping me from doing what I'm not supposed to be doing.

2:17:08

No, no, I don't.

2:17:08

Terry, I'm so far out over my skis.

2:17:11

I promise you what the internet is going to say the next day about me is ha-ha,

2:17:15

Eric Weinstein, blah, blah, blah.

2:17:17

Don't read the internet.

2:17:17

Stop reading the damage.

2:17:19

Okay, what I'm trying to tell you is you're taking all the good stuff that you're

2:17:24

doing and you get into 19 and you're saying hit me.

2:17:27

And each time you do that, I want to slap you and say don't do that.

2:17:33

Because even if what you're saying is true, let's imagine that we find some

2:17:37

structures like the ones you're talking about in wave fronts, right?

2:17:42

I think what you're doing is totally canonical and it's very, very natural.

2:17:46

And I think you're building models and you don't know how to do the algebra

2:17:49

probably and you probably don't know how to do the differential equations, all

2:17:53

that.

2:17:53

Fine, I can point you to books.

2:17:55

I can try to help you.

2:17:56

I'm a geometer.

2:17:59

I like doing geometry.

2:18:02

I would love to work with a mathematician that can define and redefine these

2:18:06

pieces and write new axioms if there's real axioms to be made from it or postulates

2:18:11

to be made from it.

2:18:13

That's what I wanted to do with Dr. Tyson.

2:18:17

Okay, but part of what you're doing is you're coming into another community.

2:18:20

Like what you said about David Tong is so unfair to David Tong.

2:18:25

What did I say?

2:18:26

David Tong.

2:18:28

Okay, first of all, do you know who David Tong is?

2:18:30

I know him on the internet.

2:18:32

I know, but I've watched a few of his things.

2:18:35

I was very impressed with it.

2:18:36

That's why I reached out to him.

2:18:38

He's, he's amazing.

2:18:40

And I have my difference.

2:18:41

He's an acquaintance of mine.

2:18:43

I haven't seen him since 2011.

2:18:44

Okay.

2:18:45

He's an amazing treasure because that guy has a gift for explanation in our

2:18:51

community.

2:18:53

And in a world where a lot of people in string theory have no, have lost

2:18:56

complete touch with reality.

2:18:58

Right?

2:18:59

This guy knows every aspect of physics so well that he can explain it with

2:19:04

razor sharp clarity.

2:19:06

So he's an absolute, he's a national treasure of the UK.

2:19:12

And I reached out and I said to him, look, dude, you're talking about these 16

2:19:17

fields.

2:19:18

I said, I have the models for your 16 fields, which was-

2:19:22

You're teaching.

2:19:22

Yeah.

2:19:23

That's, okay.

2:19:25

If you want to say, I don't understand this, you get a positive reaction from

2:19:29

us.

2:19:29

If you say, I have something and I'm not quite sure what it is.

2:19:33

Can I get an evaluation because I think I might have something?

2:19:37

You should be able to get something from a guy like me.

2:19:39

And that's what I did.

2:19:41

I went to Oxford.

2:19:41

I know.

2:19:42

Didn't get that.

2:19:43

But I'm trying to say something.

2:19:44

I went to these guys.

2:19:44

Yes, okay.

2:19:45

Then you do this other thing, which is you teach.

2:19:48

And your teaching is not good.

2:19:51

You tell us stuff that's not true, that we can tell is not true.

2:19:56

And then we say, okay, I can throw out the entirety of what he's saying.

2:20:01

What did I say that wasn't true though?

2:20:03

That's what I'm, that's, that's, that's, I mean.

2:20:06

Well, one times one is not equal to two.

2:20:08

Let's start there.

2:20:10

That, in fact, I'm angry at Joe because Joe should have pushed back on that.

2:20:16

Joe is in awe.

2:20:17

The calculator says one times one doesn't equal one because of that square root

2:20:22

of two issue.

2:20:23

Can we pull the portal group back up?

2:20:25

There's a lot of wild shit I don't push back on if I'm not sure what the fuck

2:20:28

that person's saying.

2:20:29

I understand.

2:20:30

That's why.

2:20:30

But also because I know that people are going to eventually.

2:20:33

But Joe, right now we've got a crisis where nobody knows what to believe.

2:20:36

And unfortunately for you, you were in a bad spot because you wanted to have

2:20:40

fun.

2:20:40

You had a show and it got really big.

2:20:42

That's why you're a big daddy.

2:20:43

Okay, wait, wait.

2:20:44

I'm saying people have, can we go to the Terrence product, maybe below that?

2:20:50

I think you were, I think you were in the right place.

2:20:54

Yeah.

2:20:55

Okay.

2:20:56

Here's how we would do this in, in mathematics.

2:20:59

Assume you were a colleague, right?

2:21:00

And I wasn't trying to get rid of you and get you out of my office.

2:21:03

I'd say, okay, let, no, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not kidding.

2:21:06

I know you're interested in wanting to have further conversations, so go.

2:21:09

Okay.

2:21:09

The standard thing, what we would do is we'd say, okay, wait a second.

2:21:12

I don't really buy your claim that one times one equals two, but let's try to

2:21:17

evaluate what

2:21:18

you're saying.

2:21:18

Then I'd create something called the Terrence times binary operation star sub t.

2:21:23

And I'd say that provisionally, I define a star sub t times b to be equal to a

2:21:33

times one

2:21:34

plus b, because your rule says that you should add a to itself b number of

2:21:39

times.

2:21:40

So that is the formula in standard mathematics for what you are introducing as

2:21:45

times.

2:21:47

Then I come up with the Terrence root of c equaling d if d Terrence producted

2:21:56

with itself equals

2:22:01

c.

2:22:01

So now I have Terrence binary operation, Terrence root, and the Terrence square

2:22:07

operation.

2:22:08

And I say now, okay, now that's a totally legitimate object until you try to

2:22:13

blow away times or multiplication

2:22:16

in the normal sense.

2:22:17

Now what I've got is I've got a new operation and I want to know its properties.

2:22:21

Is it commutative?

2:22:22

No, a times, a Terrence times b is not b Terrence times a.

2:22:26

Those are two different numbers.

2:22:28

Then I ask, is it associative?

2:22:30

Yes, it is associative.

2:22:31

So now I'm trying to make standard math out of the crazy ass shit that you say

2:22:36

when you

2:22:37

go to Oxford.

2:22:38

And this is how I would start to understand it.

2:22:41

I would say, Terrence, do we get anything new out of Terrence times, Terrence

2:22:45

root, Terrence

2:22:46

square?

2:22:47

And I would, I would therefore not incur the penalty that you're incurring.

2:22:52

The penalty that you're incurring is when the rest of us work our effing asses

2:22:57

off and you

2:22:57

come in and you say, I've developed, like imagine if I got on this program and

2:23:02

I said, is John Jones

2:23:03

out there, he's a huge pussy, doesn't know how to fight.

2:23:06

I have a one touch technique and if I lay a pinky on John Jones, you're going

2:23:11

to see a quivering

2:23:12

little pout of butter.

2:23:12

Sean Strickland has no disciplines.

2:23:15

Guy, guy's a big fatty.

2:23:16

It's not going to go well.

2:23:19

No.

2:23:20

Okay.

2:23:20

So what I'm trying to get at is that's what you're doing to us.

2:23:23

I didn't mean to.

2:23:24

That's not what I meant to do.

2:23:26

But in me saying one times one equals two, like I said, that's a metaphor that

2:23:32

there's

2:23:32

something very wrong with the math because math should not be done.

2:23:36

There's nothing wrong with the math.

2:23:37

I'm saying the math that we are doing is still based on linear projections,

2:23:41

even though we

2:23:43

are in a multidimensional space.

2:23:45

And if, and if the square root of two didn't have that problem.

2:23:49

Listen to me very carefully.

2:23:51

Assume you have the most beautiful curve linear object.

2:23:54

My wife.

2:23:55

Yeah.

2:23:56

Can we do a four?

2:23:59

I don't want to, I don't want to talk about, I don't want, I don't want my

2:24:02

words about, I saw what happened to Will Smith.

2:24:05

I want to keep my, your wife's name out of my mouth.

2:24:08

You'll meet my wife.

2:24:10

She's, she's very beautiful.

2:24:11

I'm sure she's dope.

2:24:12

Okay.

2:24:12

If you take the most beautiful ski slope you've ever been on and you imagine it

2:24:17

was perfectly

2:24:17

groomed so that there's just, all it is, is smooth.

2:24:22

You cannot create non-linear smoothness without giving rise to something called

2:24:28

the tangent

2:24:29

bundle.

2:24:30

And the tangent bundle has made up of linear objects.

2:24:34

The non-linear includes the linear.

2:24:39

And it actually goes with your philosophy, which is that everything is an

2:24:42

action and a reaction.

2:24:43

The non-linear creates the linear, but the linear encodes the non-linearity.

2:24:47

So if you actually wanted to practice, if you wanted to get as high as you

2:24:52

could on Walter

2:24:53

Russell, you would not try to deny the linear.

2:24:56

You would say that the non-linear is part and parcel with the linear and that

2:25:02

creating the

2:25:03

non-linear requires creating the linear.

2:25:05

The differential operators at a point on a non-linear structure form a linear

2:25:10

space.

2:25:11

And that's how we encode the tangent bundle when something doesn't sit inside

2:25:16

of something

2:25:18

else, because you hear that the universe is expanding.

2:25:20

You say, well, what's it expanding into?

2:25:22

Well, what we do is we encode that expansion without having a structure around

2:25:28

it, no ambient

2:25:29

space, by saying that the differential operators at a point are linear.

2:25:33

So we've got an entire language that you don't know about.

2:25:37

But let's unpack that.

2:25:40

Sure.

2:25:40

For something to be linear, something to be straight, that means that it is no

2:25:47

longer having to deal

2:25:49

with the equal and opposite forces that nature puts on everything, because the

2:25:54

greater the

2:25:55

the greater the action, the greater the reaction, greater the reaction, greater

2:25:59

the resistance,

2:26:00

greater the resistance, greater the curvature.

2:26:02

Everything in this universe has the resistance, and that's where the curvature

2:26:07

come from.

2:26:08

So when they talk about, I don't mind them trying to go in a straight line, or

2:26:13

try and, but the

2:26:15

curvature of the universe is literally, is that phi at 1.618, that expansion

2:26:22

aspect of it, that's

2:26:23

the only consistent thing that you see in everything in the universe.

2:26:28

All right, if you take the concept of why is the cosmological constant almost

2:26:35

zero?

2:26:36

I have no idea.

2:26:39

Well, nobody really knows.

2:26:41

So you're, you're not alone.

2:26:42

I mean, and them saying that the cosmological constant is zero, which means,

2:26:47

what does that

2:26:48

mean?

2:26:48

Do you, do you know who Jim Gates is?

2:26:48

No.

2:26:49

Jim Gates is...

2:26:50

Can you explain what the cosmological constant means?

2:26:52

Can we bring up the Einstein field equations with cosmological constant?

2:26:56

Is that the, the, the, um...

2:27:01

The dark energy?

2:27:02

That's that dark, that, that, um, the, the, the quantum field that they, not

2:27:07

the quantum

2:27:08

field, the, what do they call it, the, um, the, the vacuum.

2:27:13

All right.

2:27:13

Is that the vacuum?

2:27:14

Yeah, let's pull that one.

2:27:16

No, no, no.

2:27:16

Yeah, I like that one.

2:27:18

Okay.

2:27:19

So that arm you knew is the Ricci curvature.

2:27:22

That is a sub, sub, sort of a sub packaging of the full curvature.

2:27:27

So you throw away a piece like filleting it of the, and you throw away the vile

2:27:30

curvature.

2:27:31

Plus a bi-vector?

2:27:32

Well, these are symmetric two tensors.

2:27:36

Sometimes people call bi-vector, I find that terminology confusing, but yeah,

2:27:41

you're in the

2:27:42

right neighborhood.

2:27:42

That lambda is what's called the cosmological constant.

2:27:45

And there's a raging controversy as to whether that thing is a number or

2:27:50

whether that thing

2:27:51

is like the temperature, which might vary subtly.

2:27:54

And this was this thing that where Einstein supposedly said his greatest blunder

2:27:59

was to

2:28:00

put this in.

2:28:00

He then found that you need this because Hubble shows that the universe is

2:28:06

expanding.

2:28:07

And then very recently in the end of the millennium, they said, not only is it

2:28:10

expanding, but it's

2:28:12

expanding at an accelerating rate, and that's when this whole dark energy thing

2:28:15

really took

2:28:15

shape.

2:28:16

That thing, and where was I going with this?

2:28:20

Oh yeah.

2:28:21

Jim Gates, who's probably the finest African-American physicist we have,

2:28:28

brilliant, brilliant guy at

2:28:29

the University of Maryland College Park.

2:28:31

He's a strengthier, so he and I are naturally like Montagues and Capulets.

2:28:36

But he's a lovely guy, very, very brilliant.

2:28:38

He says, look, we need supersymmetry because that thing should blow up.

2:28:43

And it's almost zero.

2:28:44

And the only way that it's almost zero is because the bosons and the fermions,

2:28:49

if supersymmetry

2:28:50

is true, have to be balanced.

2:28:52

Right?

2:28:53

So imagine that you had two gods pushing on a door, and they're of exactly

2:28:59

equal strength.

2:29:01

The door doesn't move practically at all, not because they're not powerful, but

2:29:05

because

2:29:05

they're perfectly balanced, like unnaturally balanced.

2:29:08

And so what happens when an irresistible force hits an immovable object?

2:29:11

Well, but these are two irresistible forces pushing in different directions and

2:29:14

creating the

2:29:15

immovable object between them, to carry through the analogy.

2:29:18

So that thing has to do with a balancing between two incredibly powerful but

2:29:28

opposite structures.

2:29:31

And I think that you're negating the idea very often that you can have

2:29:36

perfectly balanced

2:29:38

things through fine-tuning issues.

2:29:39

Now, one of the fine-tuning issues that we don't talk about, we usually talk

2:29:43

about them

2:29:43

in physics, but the most famous one should be the one in biology, which is

2:29:47

before we had

2:29:48

DNA, there was a guy named Erwin Chargaff, and he gave Watson and Crick the

2:29:54

worst peer

2:29:55

review in human history.

2:29:56

He said that these are two idiots, that they were pitch men in search of a helix.

2:29:59

They didn't know anything about chemistry, and he totally dismissed them.

2:30:03

He is the guy who figured out that the amount of A was equal to the amount of C,

2:30:08

and the amount

2:30:09

of T was equal to the amount of G. And the only reason that that's true is

2:30:14

because of hydrogen

2:30:16

bonding that fixed the amount of A to be the amount of C on the other side.

2:30:20

Hydrogen, cytosine, alanine, and thiamine.

2:30:23

And so the idea is that that was the fine-tuning solution. Why did you always

2:30:27

have equal amounts

2:30:28

of these things? Oh, because you didn't see that they'd been paired in a helix.

2:30:31

You just saw

2:30:32

it once it was broken. But the actual nucleotides had been paired, and so they're

2:30:37

always,

2:30:38

the hydrogen bond enforced that. One was a double bond, one was a triple bond.

2:30:42

This is like this. We're trying to figure out why lambda, we would understand

2:30:49

better if it

2:30:50

were zero, or we would understand better if it was enormous. The fact that it

2:30:55

is almost

2:30:56

zero in a world where the vacuum is filled with crazy stuff, to your point,

2:31:02

this is one

2:31:02

of the greatest reasons for, this is probably the greatest, I agree with Jim,

2:31:06

this is the reason

2:31:07

for supersymmetry. Without supersymmetry, we don't have an explanation for why

2:31:12

that thing doesn't

2:31:12

blow up.

2:31:13

So if you saw a geometric structure that defined and worked together completely,

2:31:21

would this qualify

2:31:24

as a supersymmetrical system? And we haven't even gotten to the magnetic field

2:31:29

yet, but you

2:31:30

see how these things fit together and what they might do in replacing...

2:31:35

So you have a metaphor, and you have a metaphorical mind. So you have this

2:31:38

thing that you call

2:31:39

the... what's the tetrahedron one?

2:31:42

The tetrahedron.

2:31:42

The tetrahedron. You got one called the huntian.

2:31:45

The huntian, that's my son.

2:31:46

Okay. And then you have a different one where the huntian is flanked by two tetrahedron,

2:31:54

which you call a transformer because it's a step down.

2:31:56

I call it a light unit. I call that a light unit.

2:31:58

Then you say it's a photon.

2:31:59

Yes, it's a step up and step down transformer.

2:32:01

And then here's how your unification scheme goes. You say, look, I don't need

2:32:05

gravity because

2:32:05

I simulated Saturn without gravity. By the way, electromagnetism looks very

2:32:09

similar to gravity,

2:32:10

which causes all older electrical engineers...

2:32:13

That's what I've been saying. Electricity is the cause of gravity.

2:32:17

Gravity is an effect. It's a draft. Like the thermos...

2:32:20

Like the thermos is a draft of radiation...

2:32:22

Well, you stop teaching, man. You've got to stop teaching because you're saying

2:32:26

interesting stuff

2:32:26

and then you just always go over it.

2:32:28

Okay.

2:32:29

Look, you want to know what the DMT of this stuff is? I'll hand you the stuff

2:32:35

that'll blow your mind.

2:32:35

Right now, where this is, is something called the double copy. The double copy

2:32:41

is a relation that was totally

2:32:44

unexpected between the amplitudes associated with gravity and the amplitudes

2:32:49

associated with the Yang-Mills stuff.

2:32:51

And I just met with a guy, Zvi Burn, at UCLA, who's one of the guys who brought

2:32:58

us this double copy. And it's a great mystery. It's like looking directly into

2:33:04

the equimolar relations before you have the double helix. So there is a

2:33:08

relationship that is much deeper than the superficial relationship between, you

2:33:14

know... Can we bring up the Newtonian force of gravitation?

2:33:18

Yeah, and then let's do a bathroom break. Sure. We could do one right now. We

2:33:22

could do it right now. Do a bathroom break right now. Yeah. We'll be right back.

2:33:25

Yeah. You don't know who he is?

2:33:27

No, the last three weeks, all I've been doing is watching your shit. Bob Lazar.

2:33:31

Me?

2:33:32

I'm like, let me see what it is. Oh, man. Bob Lazar was a guy who cleaned.

2:33:37

I caught you on TMZ suddenly talking about me. It was like, what is my name

2:33:41

doing in Terrace's mouth?

2:33:42

That's hilarious. TMZ asked you a question at all? Yeah, and they said, do I

2:33:46

have anything going on? And I was like, yeah, man, I'm Eric Weinstein. I said

2:33:49

Weinstein.

2:33:51

Stein. I said Weinstein, because Brian Keaton said Weinstein. He said Weinstein

2:33:56

on the thing.

2:33:57

Yeah, Weinstein is Weinstein, not Weinstein. Yeah. Yeah. So it's Weinstein.

2:34:01

It's whatever Harvey is. Keating said Weinstein? Is that what you're saying?

2:34:05

He said Weinstein. No, he said Weinstein, so I thought I said Weinstein, but I

2:34:08

didn't know if that was just a joke or a play on things.

2:34:11

They got super sensitive after Harvey. Yeah.

2:34:13

Shoot, I don't know.

2:34:17

So what we were talking about was Bob Lazar, who was a guy who claimed to be

2:34:22

back engineering UFOs for the government back in the late 80s.

2:34:27

That's what we were just talking about.

2:34:28

I did see something about him.

2:34:31

Yeah. He was on the podcast many years ago. It's a fascinating story that I

2:34:35

hope is real.

2:34:36

And that's what we were discussing, like whether or not Eric could make sense

2:34:41

of it.

2:34:41

So that's what we were talking about. We walked in here.

2:34:43

What were we talking about right before we went for our bathroom break?

2:34:47

We went. He threw up an equation.

2:34:49

Not threw up.

2:34:51

The Newtonian. And then what was after that?

2:34:53

We were about to do the analogy between electromagnetism and gravitation.

2:34:59

The Newtonian gravitational force law.

2:35:01

So we have these inverse square laws.

2:35:04

And because of the similarity, can we do the electromagnetic force law?

2:35:10

With two charges separated by a distance of R.

2:35:23

Joe, who has smoked weed in this while we're waiting for it?

2:35:26

Okay.

2:35:26

Nobody.

2:35:26

Okay. Just Elon. He's the only one who...

2:35:30

Okay. So if you look at... Let's do the electromagnetic...

2:35:34

The Fe equals KQQ over R squared.

2:35:38

This one?

2:35:39

Yeah.

2:35:40

Okay. So fix that in your mind and imagine that I turn the Q1 and the Q2 into

2:35:47

masses and the R is the distance between them and that K becomes a different

2:35:53

constant.

2:35:53

So now let's do Newtonian gravitational force.

2:36:01

Okay.

2:36:01

You can go above.

2:36:02

Yeah. Let's do the one with the two big spheres right there.

2:36:07

So you see that it's like very, very similar formally.

2:36:11

Right?

2:36:11

There's a constant in front.

2:36:13

There are two different objects and there's a distance.

2:36:16

So one of the reasons that I wasn't...

2:36:18

I have the same feeling you do about that Saturn hexagon.

2:36:22

Like, what the hell is that?

2:36:23

It's unexpected.

2:36:23

And I've never understood this great red spot on Jupiter being a...

2:36:28

If it's a gas giant, it's just so stable for millennia.

2:36:32

The whole thing doesn't super make sense to me.

2:36:34

It's going to give birth to a moon.

2:36:36

Okay.

2:36:37

So partially what happens when electrical engineers get older, they start to

2:36:42

have this idea about electricity and gravitation.

2:36:46

And you get the stuff about electric gravitics.

2:36:49

Sometimes people call it gravited dynamics.

2:36:51

And the formal similarities between these things appeal to people and they want

2:36:57

to see one as the other.

2:36:59

And, of course, the Kaluza-Klein theory tried to connect gravitation and

2:37:04

electromagnetism super early on.

2:37:07

So part of what happens is that Terence tries to say, look, I keep coming up

2:37:12

with these ideas of somehow wave fronts.

2:37:15

The wave fronts create these shapes that are related to the platonic solids but

2:37:18

curved linear versions of them.

2:37:20

He associates the tetrahedron with the weak force.

2:37:23

He associates the octahedron with the strong force.

2:37:28

He associates an octahedron flanked by two tetrahedron all curved linear on

2:37:34

opposite faces with the photon, i.e. electromagnetism.

2:37:39

He replaces gravitation.

2:37:41

Then he says, weirdly, that he has a grand unified theory because he doesn't

2:37:46

have gravity, so he doesn't need to put gravity in because of the similarity.

2:37:51

And then he's got these shapes and the disconnect is between the shapes and invoking

2:38:00

forces.

2:38:03

In other words, there's a moment in the story in which it's just this massive

2:38:10

leap.

2:38:10

From the shapes creating force?

2:38:15

Well, it was the issue in which I tried to show you the Lagrangian inside of a

2:38:20

partition function for encoding everything.

2:38:24

And in order to unseat, let me just give an advertisement for the establishment.

2:38:30

The Lagrangian, most of the time when people hear Lagrangian, I'm just saying

2:38:34

this further, Lagrangian points are those points in space where the magnetic

2:38:39

fields meet up into where there's almost a balance.

2:38:43

Same cat, different issue.

2:38:46

Okay.

2:38:46

Like when ZZ Top is singing about Lagrange.

2:38:49

Well, no, that's what I'm saying.

2:38:50

When most people hear Lagrangian, that's what they're thinking is Lagrangian,

2:38:53

but I'm sure you're thinking about something else.

2:38:56

No, I'm thinking about an objective function.

2:38:58

I'm thinking about something to be minimized.

2:39:00

In effect, normal human beings think about physics and equations, like Einstein's

2:39:05

equation or the Schrodinger equation or all this kind of stuff.

2:39:09

Physicists don't think in that way.

2:39:12

And if you permit me an analogy, imagine you have four forces and the four

2:39:17

forces are analogized to the four different configurations of the Beatles.

2:39:22

When Ringo is singing Octopus's Garden, he's in front, everybody else is

2:39:26

supporting, right?

2:39:28

So when it's, well, my guitar gently weeps, George is out front, Penny Lane is

2:39:33

going to be Paul and Strawberry Fields is going to be John.

2:39:39

Those four different configurations of the Beatles are all the Beatles, but

2:39:43

they're different configurations, right?

2:39:45

Yes.

2:39:46

And the equations are like the different configurations of one person in front

2:39:51

and everybody else supporting that person.

2:39:53

But the Beatles is like the Lagrangian, right?

2:39:57

Okay.

2:39:57

So the Lagrangian is a machine for creating those four configurations.

2:40:02

Now, in the case of physics, right, you have these different equations for the

2:40:10

different fields.

2:40:13

The gravitational field equation has gravity in the metric out front.

2:40:18

The Yang-Mills equation has the photon, the gluons, the WZ particles out front.

2:40:24

The Dirac equation has the matter out front.

2:40:29

And the Klein-Gordon equation with potential has the Higgs field out front.

2:40:35

And those are the basic fields of reality so far as we understand it.

2:40:39

But the Higgs field is responsible for like 1% of the force applied upon them,

2:40:45

right?

2:40:46

It's so that I understand the Higgs field.

2:40:49

The Higgs field has to do with the fact like none of us are zipping off at the

2:40:53

speed of light, yet we're all made of matter that has an asymmetry due to the

2:40:58

weak force.

2:40:59

If the weak force was not around, we would not need the Higgs force and the Higgs

2:41:05

field, rather, the Higgs field to generate an as-if mass.

2:41:09

But because of the asymmetry built into the weak force, which is the only thing

2:41:13

that has this left-right asymmetry, we can't have normal mass.

2:41:17

There's a place to put a normal mass in the equation that's forbidden if the

2:41:21

universe is left-right asymmetric.

2:41:23

This has to do with this thing called the tau-theta puzzle from the 1950s.

2:41:27

We were freaked out.

2:41:29

Can we get a picture of Cindy Crawford?

2:41:31

That's a good transition.

2:41:35

No, no, it's important.

2:41:37

I like it.

2:41:39

So, by the way, I'm dating myself because, okay.

2:41:43

How old are you?

2:41:44

What?

2:41:44

How old are you?

2:41:45

58.

2:41:45

Okay, you got me by three years.

2:41:47

Well, you said you were a young man.

2:41:48

I was flattered to hear it.

2:41:49

I'm 55, so we're good.

2:41:50

Now, let's notice how beautiful this woman is and the fact that she's asymmetric,

2:41:55

right?

2:41:56

And the asymmetry has to do with a mole that she didn't remove from her face.

2:42:00

So, we can tell when you have an image of her, like if she wasn't holding a can

2:42:06

of Pepsi and she wasn't next to a Pepsi machine, you wouldn't be able to tell

2:42:12

but for the mole whether you were looking at her or a reversed image of her

2:42:18

down the center line.

2:42:20

So, Marilyn Monroe, Sidney Crawford have this left-right asymmetry to them.

2:42:25

That thing is like the weak force.

2:42:28

It's the only thing that can detect this difference between left and right.

2:42:31

And the weak force is the thing that prohibits a normal mass that forces us

2:42:35

into a Higgs mass through something called a Yukawa coupling.

2:42:39

So, that's the whole reason that it's in that thing is it's a crazy Hail Mary

2:42:44

to save all of physics because normally if the world were left-right asymmetric

2:42:49

due to beta decay, the thing that causes a neutron to decay into a proton and

2:42:53

emit an electron and an anti-electron neutrino in the process, that process is

2:42:58

the thing that denies us mass.

2:43:01

And we would be at the speed of light and we would all zip off in opposite

2:43:04

directions but for the Higgs field.

2:43:06

And that process is the radiative process.

2:43:09

That's the process I call magnetism that tears apart, that rarefies that which

2:43:16

was concentrically drawn together through electricity.

2:43:21

That weak force is an equal force to electricity.

2:43:26

Terrence, let me ask you a question.

2:43:28

That's what I feel.

2:43:29

I'm taller than Joe.

2:43:30

Right.

2:43:31

Imagine I challenge Joe to a fight.

2:43:33

What do you think happens next?

2:43:35

I get my ass kicked.

2:43:38

Well, Joe knows some shit that you don't know.

2:43:40

Joe knows some serious shit.

2:43:41

I have an advantage on it in terms of weight.

2:43:44

I have an advantage on it in terms of height.

2:43:46

He's in great condition.

2:43:48

The guy knows how to fight and he's got a spinning back kick to die for.

2:43:51

Okay?

2:43:52

What happens is I get my ass kicked.

2:43:54

You do not know when you're going to get your ass kicked.

2:43:58

And it's a big problem that you're going to keep courting because I watch you.

2:44:02

You keep finding the space where we could come together and you insist on

2:44:07

teaching into it.

2:44:09

And it's like, I'm trying to be nice as pie because I'm inspired by what you're

2:44:15

trying to do.

2:44:17

But you have no idea like when you're fucking with a guy with an Italian last

2:44:24

name and a shiny suit with a funny collar that you don't recognize.

2:44:28

You just, you've got to stop.

2:44:31

Yeah, and I see the metaphor in it.

2:44:34

Can I ask you, before we go on further, you feel that the theory of gravity is

2:44:41

incorrect and there's something else that accounts for all of the effects that

2:44:47

we call gravity.

2:44:49

Yes, I feel that gravity is the draft left behind from the electric force.

2:44:59

As the electricity moves through, there's a draft that's generated because it

2:45:05

creates whirlpools.

2:45:06

Each of those whirlpools is the gravity or the cosmic foam or, I forget, there's

2:45:13

another term that they were using for this foam.

2:45:18

But it's a flowing in the same way that thermals are effective by magnetism or

2:45:25

radiation creates these thermals that you're able to fly on.

2:45:30

The opposite of those thermals, I believe that gravity is the opposite of those

2:45:35

thermals in the electric force.

2:45:37

It's the pulling down the same way the thermals push up.

2:45:42

What do you think about that?

2:45:44

I didn't even want to touch it.

2:45:47

Because I'm going to get into the same thing.

2:45:50

I'm trying to say to you.

2:45:52

I know, I'm just saying, and I could be wrong, because based upon what I am

2:45:57

putting together is taking commonsensical geometries and taking definitions of

2:46:04

words and putting them together in a manner by which the layman sees it.

2:46:10

Because the whole point is for everyone to understand science.

2:46:15

But you're teaching repeatedly.

2:46:17

And that is going to be your downfall.

2:46:20

No, I'm listening.

2:46:21

Right now, I'm a student.

2:46:22

Right now, I swear to you, right now, I am a student.

2:46:25

But I'm also a student.

2:46:25

I don't know how you generate all that stuff.

2:46:27

I've tried to understand your mind.

2:46:30

I try to do this.

2:46:31

By the way, this isn't peculiar to you.

2:46:34

So far as I know, I'm the only person who's tried to understand Peter White's

2:46:38

theory of the universe, Garrett Lisi's theory of the universe, Stephen Wolfram's

2:46:42

theory of the universe, your theory of the universe.

2:46:45

My colleagues don't do this.

2:46:47

See, I thought I was special.

2:46:49

No, no, no.

2:46:49

You just made me feel not special anymore.

2:46:51

Brother, you are certainly special.

2:46:54

That's not what I'm trying to say.

2:46:55

What I'm trying to say is that physics and science is broken down.

2:47:00

I will steel man you.

2:47:01

I will try to put your best foot forward.

2:47:03

I'm not out to get you.

2:47:04

Where we are right now is that the Brian Greens of the universe will not look

2:47:10

at anything that isn't string theory.

2:47:14

They're really like that.

2:47:15

So whether it's Ed Witten or Sean Carroll or Neil deGrasse Tyson, this

2:47:20

generosity of spirit, spirit of collegiality, it's dead.

2:47:25

And what you get is gotcha artists.

2:47:29

Right.

2:47:29

And that's all they do.

2:47:31

They're just trying.

2:47:32

There's also something called gripe and swipe where they try to find any flaw

2:47:35

in what you do so that they can throw you aside and then they can take every

2:47:38

right thing that you did and put it under their own name.

2:47:41

That's why I patented.

2:47:43

That's why I patented everything before doing it, because I thought that might

2:47:48

be the case because I went to somebody at MIT and I showed him the wave conjugations.

2:47:53

I can't remember his name.

2:47:55

Because it's a small community.

2:47:57

We all know each other.

2:47:59

I will remember his name by the time I'm done.

2:48:02

But he said, oh, I've seen these before.

2:48:06

And I was like, no, you wouldn't.

2:48:07

No, you haven't.

2:48:07

Because if you had seen them, I wouldn't have the patents.

2:48:10

So this is part of the problem.

2:48:11

This is a very important digression.

2:48:14

You need help from the community.

2:48:17

Yes.

2:48:18

But the community also sees you as a 17-year-old blonde girl from Minnesota

2:48:23

getting off the bus in the Sunset Strip having no idea where she is.

2:48:28

Even though I've got the 97 patents and all of that stuff, it doesn't matter.

2:48:31

Does not matter.

2:48:31

Because first of all, you cannot patent science.

2:48:33

They took away our ability to earn a living from doing science, right?

2:48:39

You can do technology and patent it, but you cannot patent fundamental

2:48:44

mathematics and physics.

2:48:47

Well, see, that's what I'm hoping.

2:48:48

I'm hoping that they ultimately take the patents from me because they become

2:48:53

basic, general.

2:48:54

Let me tell you something.

2:48:55

It is more important that you get a small number of us to say he did something

2:48:59

than you fooled some patent examiner who has no idea what the hell is going on

2:49:03

and can't actually earn a living the way he dreamed of being an engineer.

2:49:07

And so, you know, at some level.

2:49:09

The most important thing that you've done is weirdly based on an error, so far

2:49:15

as I can tell.

2:49:16

So can you bring us a linchpin?

2:49:20

Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing.

2:49:22

Okay.

2:49:23

And, Jamie, could I trouble you for bringing up that same page over and over

2:49:28

again?

2:49:28

I'm sorry about that, brother.

2:49:29

Just bring one.

2:49:39

No, no, no.

2:49:40

Okay.

2:49:40

Can't wait.

2:49:40

But we're dead air here.

2:49:43

Okay.

2:49:43

Okay.

2:49:43

Howard's linchpin.

2:49:44

Howard's extraordinary claims for the linchpin appear to mirror Green's

2:49:48

extraordinary claims for the string.

2:49:50

So let's look at Terrence Howard.

2:49:53

Filling up the dead air here.

2:49:54

Talking about the linchpin.

2:49:56

Okay.

2:49:57

The linchpin is the lowest common denominator of all matter, either seen or

2:50:00

unseen.

2:50:01

The linchpin is the internal dimensions of a torus.

2:50:04

The linchpin is the universal wave conjugator for all things matter.

2:50:08

It is the true currency of the universal flow because it is the common factor

2:50:12

of all things.

2:50:13

It is the measurable constitution of a quantum or quanta, the smallest

2:50:17

reflection, ultimately in collective potential of all things, which equals the

2:50:21

multiverse, blah, blah, blah.

2:50:23

Let's now just watch our friend Brian Green do the same thing.

2:50:28

It's a great expression of Brian's face.

2:50:30

String theory comes along and suggests that inside these particles there is

2:50:35

something else.

2:50:37

So if I take a little cork and I magnify it, conventional idea says there's

2:50:42

nothing inside, but string theory says I'll find a little tiny filament.

2:50:46

A little filament of energy, a little string like filament, and just like the

2:50:52

string on a violin, I pluck it and it vibrates, creates a little musical note

2:50:57

that I can hear.

2:50:58

The little strings in string theory, when they vibrate, they don't produce

2:51:03

musical notes.

2:51:04

They produce the particles themselves, so a cork is nothing but a string

2:51:08

vibrating in one pattern.

2:51:10

An electron is nothing but a string vibrating in a different pattern.

2:51:16

A neutrino, nothing but a string vibrating in a different pattern still.

2:51:23

So if I take all of this back together, I have my ordinary orange, and if these

2:51:29

ideas are right, they are speculative, but if they are right,

2:51:31

deep inside the orange or any other piece of matter, there's nothing but a

2:51:36

dancing, vibrating, cosmic symphony of strings.

2:51:39

Okay, now if you take what he just said, this is entirely respectable.

2:51:44

This is a Columbia professor lecturing me for 40 fucking years about what they're

2:51:51

going to do one day when they grow up.

2:51:53

That everything is just a string, and just the way a violin can vibrate in

2:51:57

different modes.

2:51:58

All of the particles come from the excitation of the string.

2:52:01

That's exactly how you sound with the linchpin.

2:52:05

Now, string theory is not a terrible idea initially.

2:52:09

It becomes a terrible idea when the string theorists suggest that nothing else

2:52:14

has happened for 40 years.

2:52:15

They've sought to kill off every single person who has pointed out that there

2:52:20

are other ideas and that they don't listen to their colleagues.

2:52:24

And so, in part, you're going to incur an emotional penalty from me with the linchpin,

2:52:29

which is a terrible thing because the linchpin is actually incredibly cool.

2:52:33

So, the same basic pattern, which is one thing explains it all, has a terrible

2:52:42

kind of cadence.

2:52:42

Because I'm about to get you.

2:52:43

No.

2:52:44

I'm about to get you.

2:52:45

I got some.

2:52:46

I'm about to get you.

2:52:47

I got some.

2:52:48

But my point is, this thing that you created is based on an error.

2:52:52

And it's a beautiful error.

2:52:54

And I think people are just not going to grasp it.

2:52:56

What's the error?

2:52:57

The error is, is that the arc cosine of minus one-third is not equal to three-fifths

2:53:07

pie.

2:53:07

Garlic makes my feet stink.

2:53:09

Okay.

2:53:16

That was perfect.

2:53:17

Okay.

2:53:18

Terence with the timing today.

2:53:21

I didn't...

2:53:22

I'm sorry.

2:53:23

It may be the whiskey.

2:53:24

It is the whiskey.

2:53:25

It's certainly helping.

2:53:26

No, but I'm not mad about it at all.

2:53:29

All right.

2:53:30

No, it's hilarious.

2:53:31

What I mean is, is that inside of a tetrahedron, if I understand you correctly,

2:53:34

I've got these

2:53:36

vectors that point out towards the vertices.

2:53:39

And between any two vertices, any of the four vertices, there's one of the six

2:53:46

edges.

2:53:46

Right.

2:53:47

What's the angle between those two vertices as measured from the center of mass

2:53:53

inside of a tetrahedron?

2:53:55

Still be at 120 degrees.

2:53:57

No, it's the arc cosine of minus one-third.

2:54:01

That's what you're talking about.

2:54:02

That's what I'm talking about.

2:54:03

Okay.

2:54:04

Now, you say this is an undiscovered geometry.

2:54:07

Now, why is that an undiscovered geometry?

2:54:09

Well, because they gave me the patents.

2:54:11

No, no, no.

2:54:12

You've got to stop that with the patents.

2:54:13

I don't give a shit about these patents.

2:54:14

No, no.

2:54:15

I did the patents because they...

2:54:16

I have watched so many people come and take somebody's work.

2:54:20

No, no, no.

2:54:21

So it was just...

2:54:22

It was a protection.

2:54:23

Okay.

2:54:24

We've covered the patents.

2:54:25

My claim is that what you discovered is a little bit like even temperament.

2:54:33

Now, even temperament is a lie.

2:54:37

Right.

2:54:38

Do you know about even temperament?

2:54:39

Yes.

2:54:40

Okay.

2:54:41

Well, no, no, no.

2:54:42

No, no, no.

2:54:43

You can...

2:54:44

Keep retucking it back together.

2:54:46

They keep...

2:54:47

It's an attempt to modulate or keep everything start right back at the

2:54:52

beginning and avoid the

2:54:53

Pythagorean comma.

2:54:54

Avoid the necessary expansion.

2:54:56

Okay.

2:54:57

Now we're talking the Pythagorean comma.

2:54:59

The difference...

2:55:00

All right.

2:55:01

Jamie.

2:55:02

Can we get...

2:55:04

Can we get the 12th root of 2 raised to the 19th power?

2:55:10

Good luck with that, Jamie.

2:55:12

Come on, Jamie.

2:55:13

No way.

2:55:14

Show it on a calculator.

2:55:15

I'm going to do this Terrence Howard.

2:55:16

I don't know what you want to see on a calculator.

2:55:17

I'm going to do this Terrence Howard style.

2:55:18

I'm going to do this Terrence Howard style.

2:55:19

There's a flaw in all of mathematics and all of music.

2:55:22

Take out your calculators.

2:55:23

They won't...

2:55:24

They won't allow me to project it.

2:55:25

I don't know.

2:55:26

So if we take the scientific calculator, turn it on its side.

2:55:29

Take the number 2.

2:55:31

Okay.

2:55:32

2.

2:55:33

Now, we have an X root Y.

2:55:36

Can we find...

2:55:39

No, root...

2:55:40

Right below that.

2:55:42

Yeah.

2:55:43

Try it again.

2:55:44

2.

2:55:45

Okay.

2:55:46

And then do 12.

2:55:51

Just type in 12.

2:55:54

Hold on.

2:55:55

Sorry.

2:55:56

I was going to show it.

2:55:57

I'm not going to show it.

2:55:58

Okay.

2:55:59

And now raise that to the 19th power.

2:56:01

That's this one, right?

2:56:03

Yeah.

2:56:04

Oh, shit.

2:56:09

It's almost 3.

2:56:10

The speed of light.

2:56:11

It's almost 3.

2:56:12

It's 2.9966.

2:56:15

That is...

2:56:16

If we take the national anthem...

2:56:17

Can you sing?

2:56:18

I think you can.

2:56:19

Give me...

2:56:20

Oh, say.

2:56:21

Oh, say.

2:56:23

Okay.

2:56:24

Now take from say and get me to land of the free.

2:56:26

To the land of the free.

2:56:33

Okay.

2:56:34

That is supposed to be the ratio of 3.

2:56:38

But if we did it on a harmonica, and the harmonica was probably tuned...

2:56:43

Sorry.

2:56:44

That's not going to be 3.

2:56:54

It's going to be 2.9966.

2:56:57

Because the reason we divided that octave into 12 parts...

2:57:01

Is that we couldn't figure out how to get 3 to be perfect because...

2:57:05

What you said, Pythagorean comma, which most people don't have any idea of.

2:57:09

By the way, you have to get Jacob Collier on the show.

2:57:12

We call it the Procustrian fifth because when you...

2:57:15

Even like when I put these together...

2:57:17

Yeah.

2:57:18

You'll see that there's points where they will not connect because everything

2:57:23

is expanding by fee.

2:57:24

Okay.

2:57:25

And that expansion...

2:57:26

You've got a Pythagorean comma in the middle of your linchpin.

2:57:29

Yes, I do.

2:57:30

Yeah.

2:57:31

With 109.

2:57:32

109.

2:57:33

4.7.

2:57:34

Yeah.

2:57:35

Rather than 108.

2:57:36

Yes.

2:57:37

You bastard.

2:57:38

Yes.

2:57:39

Yeah, so I caught you.

2:57:40

Okay.

2:57:41

Well, you didn't catch me.

2:57:42

I just used a little thing that they don't know about.

2:57:43

No, I know about the reason.

2:57:45

But...

2:57:46

Wait, wait, wait.

2:57:47

I ain't going...

2:57:48

Terrence, come back.

2:57:49

Come back here, Terrence.

2:57:50

I ain't coming back.

2:57:51

I'm about to bring you something.

2:57:52

We're talking about...

2:57:53

Terrence.

2:57:54

I'm coming.

2:57:55

I'm coming.

2:57:56

I'm coming.

2:57:57

I promise you.

2:57:58

I'm coming right over to you.

2:57:59

I just want to have these so when it's time to...

2:58:01

Terrence, I don't think you understand the dead air principle at the JRE.

2:58:04

Dead air principle?

2:58:05

I'm here.

2:58:06

As long as I'm here, everything is well and alive.

2:58:10

Terrence, okay.

2:58:11

So the reason that you came up with an undiscovered geometry is that you

2:58:16

figured out something that

2:58:17

is analogous to even temperament, which is if you shove a pentagon, which

2:58:24

should have three

2:58:26

radians distributed around five angles.

2:58:31

In degree terms, that's 108.

2:58:34

But the angle between the vertices of a tetrahedron is one of 9.47 and change.

2:58:42

And so effectively the same game that we played and people like Bach started

2:58:47

playing with even

2:58:48

temperament is where do you pay for even temperament?

2:58:53

Well, you end up paying for it in the expansion of the song.

2:58:57

It does not follow a natural extension.

2:59:00

That's true.

2:59:01

There's no circle of fifths.

2:59:02

There's what?

2:59:03

A spiral of fifths.

2:59:04

There's a phi.

2:59:05

And you know what the worst note is?

2:59:07

The worst note?

2:59:08

C and B and E and F hitting at the same time.

2:59:13

No, no, no.

2:59:14

You're saying something different.

2:59:16

You're saying that in the Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do.

2:59:19

Right?

2:59:20

Do to me is an abomination.

2:59:23

Right?

2:59:24

Can we do a, do I can turn?

2:59:27

Yes.

2:59:28

Left a good job in the city.

2:59:29

Let's go.

2:59:30

Left a good job in the city.

2:59:33

Okay.

2:59:34

Okay.

2:59:35

Working for a man every night and day.

2:59:39

But I never lost a minute of sleep.

2:59:44

Thinking about the way things might have been.

2:59:49

Don't know the big wheels.

2:59:51

Keep on turning.

2:59:53

Keep on turning.

2:59:54

Rob, Mary, keep on burning.

2:59:57

Keep on burning now.

2:59:59

Rolling.

3:00:00

Oh, Lord.

3:00:01

Rolling.

3:00:02

Oh, Lord.

3:00:03

Rolling on the river.

3:00:06

Rolling on the river.

3:00:07

Okay.

3:00:08

It's basically Mary had a little lamb, right?

3:00:11

But it's much cooler.

3:00:12

Now, left a good job in the city.

3:00:15

City is going to be the third.

3:00:16

And that third is wildly sharp to the Pythagorean third.

3:00:20

That's the penalty we pay for dividing the perfect octave.

3:00:23

Right?

3:00:24

Can you give me somewhere over the rainbow?

3:00:27

Somewhere over the rainbow, birds fly way up high.

3:00:40

Mm-hmm.

3:00:41

Let me see what it would be.

3:00:42

I feel like I'm in a boxcar.

3:00:49

I feel like I'm on the launching pad where the UFO lands on Close Encounters.

3:00:58

Somewhere is a doubling of frequency, right?

3:01:01

Right.

3:01:02

The doubling is perfect.

3:01:05

The fifth is a lie, but it's a good lie.

3:01:09

The third is an abomination.

3:01:11

It's not until you get to 53 notes, which the Turks use, that you get a better

3:01:17

fifth and a better third.

3:01:18

You get a better fifth of 29 notes per scale.

3:01:21

Yes.

3:01:22

And you get a worse third.

3:01:23

So there's no reason to do that.

3:01:25

It's a 12th, the 29th, 53rd.

3:01:28

Yeah.

3:01:29

Now, my claim is, is that you pulled off the same thing by finding a cheat

3:01:35

inside of the linchpin, which is why it's genius.

3:01:39

And I don't even think you know how genius this thing is, is my guess.

3:01:42

I'm about to show you noble gas and I'm going to show you matter.

3:01:45

I'm going to fuck the whole thing up.

3:01:48

Listen to me.

3:01:50

The number of edges in a tetrahedron is what?

3:01:53

And a tetrahedron is six.

3:01:56

And that's why you have six pentagons.

3:01:58

But these six pentagons are not, either they're not perfect or they're not

3:02:03

joined perfectly.

3:02:04

You put six motors in these things with propellers and you have six degrees of

3:02:09

freedom.

3:02:09

There you go.

3:02:10

You have an object.

3:02:12

So we talk about pitch, roll, and yaw.

3:02:15

But those are basically, if I understand correctly, the basis vectors for the

3:02:21

Lie algebra of SO3 or spin 3 or SU2.

3:02:25

What's the Lie algebra?

3:02:26

Well, so the idea is I have a rotation group of symmetries of this object about

3:02:32

its central vertex.

3:02:32

Right.

3:02:33

And that's one of the things.

3:02:35

You can put one of these things up and with three degrees of freedom I can spin

3:02:39

it, right, like a full-on UFO and just have it moving in crazy ways that

3:02:44

nothing else can move.

3:02:44

Because a quadcopter has only four degrees of freedom because it's got the four

3:02:48

motors.

3:02:48

This is unlimited.

3:02:49

Okay.

3:02:50

Oh, but it's going to distract this.

3:02:53

Let's get to that in one second because it's super cool.

3:02:56

Okay.

3:02:57

By the way, that's a CGI.

3:02:58

Yes, that's a CGI.

3:02:59

I'm going to show you the real world.

3:03:00

But I've actually seen a guy actually flying this around, so I don't want to do

3:03:03

this.

3:03:03

We've got like 19 of them that's actually.

3:03:05

So what's going on with this is that you have three degrees of freedom, which

3:03:09

is the rotations that I need here.

3:03:12

But you've got three extra degrees of freedom to move in different places.

3:03:17

Now there's something called the affine group, which is the semi-direct product

3:03:22

of SO3 with the R3 group of translations.

3:03:24

And SO3 has eight, it introduces the chromatic aspect of.

3:03:30

Don't go chromatic.

3:03:31

Don't go chromatic.

3:03:32

You've got something brilliant.

3:03:33

Okay.

3:03:34

Okay.

3:03:35

I'm listening.

3:03:36

I'm just trying to understand.

3:03:37

The best thing that I've seen out of Terrence Howard that I will, I will tell

3:03:40

people, this is why you never throw the baby out with the bathwater.

3:03:43

And again, I don't know that you invented it.

3:03:45

I think you did.

3:03:46

I did invent it.

3:03:47

I promise you, I think you did.

3:03:48

No, I didn't invent it.

3:03:49

It was given to me.

3:03:50

An angel gave that to me and I'm sorry that everybody.

3:03:52

Terrence, I'm sorry to say this.

3:03:54

There's a way in which we all feel pressure to give away the genius stuff that

3:04:00

we do to some higher power.

3:04:02

This is why if you ask like Khabib Nurmagomedov, like, how do you do such great

3:04:07

things?

3:04:07

He'll say.

3:04:08

Masha Allah or.

3:04:09

Right.

3:04:10

Right.

3:04:11

Right.

3:04:12

Because Islam is very good about you always give away the compliment because

3:04:17

you don't, you can't hold it because it'll cause you an ego distortion.

3:04:20

This thing here has six degrees of freedom based on the relative speeds of the

3:04:26

motors that you put into it.

3:04:28

Plus, there's an affine group called SO3 semidirect product R3, which has six

3:04:35

Lie algebra elements.

3:04:37

That means that this thing can potentially span the Lie algebra.

3:04:42

And if you have a track ball over here as a controller and you put like three

3:04:48

theremins so that you could control in three dimensional space, you potentially

3:04:55

have a drone that can rotate itself in three dimensions and get anywhere based

3:05:01

on these six objects.

3:05:02

Now I could be wrong about that.

3:05:03

No, you're right.

3:05:04

We've actually done that.

3:05:05

Okay.

3:05:06

So my claim is if the only thing you'd done, forget the art, forget the science,

3:05:11

forget the this, forget the that.

3:05:12

If the only thing you did was to introduce an error, which is 109.47 is not

3:05:18

exactly 108.

3:05:19

But 108 is that key of a, which is, you won't stop.

3:05:24

I'm not stopping.

3:05:25

I'm just, I'm working with you.

3:05:27

I know.

3:05:28

Keep going.

3:05:29

Keep going.

3:05:30

All right.

3:05:31

All right.

3:05:32

You talk.

3:05:33

That is a really cool grade a idea until I hear that somebody else did it or

3:05:36

that when you machine this, because this is the thing.

3:05:38

Now this is when you put four of them together.

3:05:40

Now the thing is, it's very cool.

3:05:45

If you take what Intel does with drones, where they sort of synchronize these

3:05:49

swarms, this thing comes together and it forms a stable structure.

3:05:53

Now, if you look at it, the tolerances that you've built into this thing,

3:05:57

because these pentagons do not exactly come together.

3:06:00

109.47.

3:06:02

It's not 108.

3:06:05

That thing within, within engineering is like even temperament.

3:06:11

Even temperament is a lie.

3:06:13

It's a fraud, but oh my God, all the most beautiful music in the world is built

3:06:19

on even temperament.

3:06:20

But look at what it generates.

3:06:21

That's what I'm talking about.

3:06:22

You put four, now four of these come together and make this.

3:06:27

Four of these come together and they make this larger structure that is the

3:06:33

same exact thing.

3:06:34

So that's not a lie.

3:06:36

It is a lie.

3:06:37

You're trying to build the whole universe off of the lynching.

3:06:40

I'm defining something new.

3:06:42

You are.

3:06:43

To the best of my knowledge.

3:06:44

By the way, I looked at this years ago.

3:06:46

Wait, wait, wait.

3:06:47

Hold on, hold on.

3:06:48

No, no, no.

3:06:49

Before you go there.

3:06:50

The other side of it.

3:06:51

Yeah.

3:06:52

This is, this is what, what is, what's very interesting.

3:06:56

Like these, they'll come together and meet.

3:06:58

You can see where they meet up.

3:07:00

Yeah.

3:07:01

Their natural meeting up.

3:07:02

Yeah.

3:07:03

Now this one looks exactly like this one, but they don't have the same mixture.

3:07:08

So what this is creating, this is actually showing, this is the equal and

3:07:13

opposite.

3:07:13

This is, this is matter.

3:07:15

This becomes the anti-matter.

3:07:16

I can't stop you doing that.

3:07:17

You can't stop me.

3:07:18

I know.

3:07:19

I'm sorry.

3:07:20

I'm my own worst enemy and my own best friend.

3:07:22

You know what?

3:07:23

That, that was a beautiful statement.

3:07:25

But that I, what I'm trying to say is the fact that they keep, and these four

3:07:31

will keep,

3:07:31

this is just the magnetic, what I consider the magnetic field.

3:07:34

You see, you stopped yourself.

3:07:35

I consider, I consider this to be the magnetic field because they're expanding

3:07:39

at the center

3:07:40

and magnetism to, in my language, magnetism expands out and becomes greater.

3:07:46

And you know, when you just said in my language.

3:07:48

In my language.

3:07:49

That's what I just did with the Terrence product.

3:07:50

In other words.

3:07:51

You said in your language.

3:07:52

I'm trying to get you to stop pissing my community off.

3:07:54

I don't want to piss them off.

3:07:55

I know.

3:07:56

I want friends.

3:07:57

I need friends.

3:07:58

Terrence, that's why we're here.

3:07:59

Right?

3:08:00

But when you have, and these will keep bonding with greater ones and keep

3:08:04

making the same

3:08:05

structure.

3:08:06

The point is, it's good enough within engineering tolerances to be a dodecahedron.

3:08:13

This dodecahedron's are, I'm not going to teach.

3:08:17

Now, if, if, if, Jamie, can we bring up T4 bacteriophage capsid?

3:08:22

Because I think, do you know about what a capsomere is?

3:08:25

No.

3:08:26

All right.

3:08:27

I know what a pap smear is.

3:08:29

It's the second time you did that.

3:08:31

Just had one last week.

3:08:32

What?

3:08:33

Okay.

3:08:34

I think you got a bad doctor.

3:08:36

Okay.

3:08:37

Now, let's do the one below the cartoon.

3:08:44

So you see where it says collard and sheath.

3:08:47

Let's do, yeah.

3:08:49

Oh, these run, those are these quick things that run along.

3:08:53

They're moved so very quickly along.

3:08:55

No, you're talking about something else.

3:08:56

You're talking about a transport thing.

3:08:57

This is a virus.

3:08:58

Oh, this is a virus.

3:08:59

It looks like the transport thing.

3:09:01

This is phage lambda.

3:09:02

And what this thing is, that thing is an icosahedral capsid.

3:09:06

So all of the nucleic acid is upstairs in that compartment, but it's not a

3:09:12

perfect icosahedron

3:09:13

because it has the elongation of some triangles and the truncation of others.

3:09:17

Now, this thing is an example of imperfection in nature.

3:09:25

Right?

3:09:26

So nature wanted to do something very rigid to protect the nucleic acid by

3:09:32

coming up with

3:09:32

an icosahedron, but she didn't do a perfect one.

3:09:34

Can we find any other that, like you see above that one?

3:09:37

That's way too perfect.

3:09:38

It's not true.

3:09:39

That's a good one.

3:09:41

So in some sense, what you find often enough is that nature actually chooses

3:09:48

imperfect perfection.

3:09:49

Nested.

3:09:50

Yeah.

3:09:51

They're just nesting instead of...

3:09:52

Now, the way this works, can we look up capsomere?

3:09:57

Again, I'm way out of my element.

3:09:59

C-A-P-O...

3:10:00

That's something different.

3:10:02

C-A-P-S-O capsomere.

3:10:06

Yeah.

3:10:12

And then images.

3:10:13

So the idea is that you have these little units, which are very much like your

3:10:19

drone units,

3:10:19

your linchpins, that come together to form capsids.

3:10:26

So when you...

3:10:27

Can you hold up one that encases a dodecahedron?

3:10:30

Oh, um...

3:10:31

Like right here, right here.

3:10:32

Yeah.

3:10:33

So that is like a capsid made from capsomeres.

3:10:36

So I want you to spend some time on the protein data bank.

3:10:40

Maybe let's go to the protein PDB capsomere.

3:10:43

And you'll get an understanding of all the ways in which nature has been doing

3:10:49

this engineering

3:10:50

that we've been learning from.

3:10:54

Maybe actually just go to the site PDB.

3:10:59

Yeah.

3:11:00

Let's try that.

3:11:04

Herpes.

3:11:09

Basically what these are are little nature's version of linchpins that come

3:11:15

together to

3:11:15

form platonic solids, which are the triangular platonic solids are valued

3:11:20

because the triangle

3:11:21

is a stable structure.

3:11:22

If you think about a square, a square can become a parallelogram very easily.

3:11:28

So they're not very, you know, engineers will use triangles over squares.

3:11:33

Um, what you need to do, in my opinion, is to figure out the Eternal One's

3:11:39

understanding

3:11:40

of these structures and how he or she creates these things with the stability

3:11:46

that actually

3:11:47

use the imperfections just the way you were using the imperfections.

3:11:50

And by the way, I did look at this years ago and totally discarded it because

3:11:55

108 wasn't

3:11:55

equal to 109.47.

3:11:56

Right.

3:11:57

It's close.

3:11:58

And the fact that you're willing to deal with something doped with imperfection

3:12:03

is what

3:12:04

actually is the genius akin to even temperament.

3:12:07

Well, it's like, how do you walk?

3:12:09

You don't walk by a perfect gait.

3:12:11

Yeah.

3:12:12

You walk by moving past the point of equilibrium and catching yourself.

3:12:17

It's the catchment.

3:12:18

I don't know how to think like that.

3:12:20

I think perfectly, not imperfectly, and it's to my detriment in many situations.

3:12:25

Well, you've got an incredible mind.

3:12:26

As do you, sir.

3:12:27

Can we go back to the main page?

3:12:30

Because another thing that I see you taking a lot of guff for is the periodic

3:12:34

table.

3:12:34

Now, I don't like your periodic table, but you are also the only person I know

3:12:39

who's

3:12:40

pushing into the public consciousness, the understanding.

3:12:44

Okay.

3:12:45

So, first of all, do you know Stanley Jordan?

3:12:47

Not by name.

3:12:48

All right.

3:12:49

He smoked wheat.

3:12:50

Stanley Jordan is one of the...

3:12:53

I don't even want to call him a guitarist.

3:12:55

He's an alien intelligence from another universe.

3:12:59

But if you go up and you click that, people have been saying that Terence

3:13:05

Howard is making

3:13:06

up this thing about the periodic table and the sound of the elements.

3:13:10

And I want you to hear what he calls sonification.

3:13:12

The ionization energies of the elements as represented here in a periodic table.

3:13:18

And we are going to produce tones representing those energies.

3:13:23

The way that this app works is each one of these elements in the table is

3:13:29

actually a push

3:13:29

button, and I can play tones with these push buttons.

3:13:33

The settings in this control panel here will determine how those energies will

3:13:38

be converted

3:13:39

into tones that we can hear.

3:13:41

First of all, we're just going to look at a few of the controls for now.

3:13:44

See, we have transposed frequency.

3:13:46

The frequencies corresponding to these ionization energies are extremely high.

3:13:51

So we have to transpose them down to arrange them.

3:13:54

As you said.

3:13:55

So here we're going to transpose it down.

3:13:57

In this case, 42 octaves.

3:13:59

Negative 42.

3:14:00

So let's start with hydrogen.

3:14:02

If I transpose it 43 octaves down, I get that tone.

3:14:10

Or I can go 44 octaves down.

3:14:14

I can also transpose it chromatically.

3:14:17

As you can see here, I can go up and up again and up again.

3:14:28

But normally I set that at zero and just leave it there.

3:14:31

And I only change the octave.

3:14:34

Let's go back to 42.

3:14:36

And I'm going to show you some of the other controls that we have here.

3:14:39

The duration is in seconds.

3:14:41

So here we go, one second long.

3:14:44

Or we could go longer, let's say two seconds.

3:14:47

And the damping factor controls how quickly the tone decays.

3:14:53

Three is kind of like a nice...

3:14:54

So what he's doing is he's preparing you for the fact that he's going to play

3:14:58

the periodic table.

3:14:59

And by the way, I just want to say this thing.

3:15:01

Stanley Jordan is a frigging mega genius.

3:15:04

I see that now.

3:15:06

And what you're talking about, I was talking with him about several years ago.

3:15:11

And what he was going to do is to mine the periodic table for the music of the

3:15:17

elements.

3:15:17

And also go beyond that for molecules.

3:15:20

See, I tried to do the same thing.

3:15:22

And I asked, I called...

3:15:25

People treat you like you're nuts.

3:15:27

I called UCLA asking for the prime resonant frequency of the elements and they

3:15:32

wouldn't give them to me.

3:15:32

Nobody would give them to me.

3:15:33

Well, because in part...

3:15:34

Wait, listen to this.

3:15:35

Boron.

3:15:36

Carbon.

3:15:37

Nitrogen.

3:15:38

Oxygen.

3:15:39

Fluorine.

3:15:40

Neon.

3:15:41

Neon.

3:15:42

Now, what happens is, as you start listening to these, you start to notice

3:15:54

patterns.

3:15:56

That's knee sharp.

3:15:57

Let me go and go through this second row again, but I won't say them, I'll just

3:16:03

go ahead and play through them.

3:16:03

Beep.

3:16:04

Beep.

3:16:05

Beep.

3:16:06

Beep.

3:16:07

Beep.

3:16:08

Beep.

3:16:09

Beep.

3:16:10

Beep.

3:16:11

Beep.

3:16:12

Beep.

3:16:13

Beep.

3:16:14

Beep.

3:16:15

Beep.

3:16:16

Beep.

3:16:17

Beep.

3:16:18

Beep.

3:16:19

Beep.

3:16:20

Beep.

3:16:21

Beep.

3:16:22

Kind of a beautiful melody, isn't it?

3:16:24

Now, these pitches that we're hearing are determined straight from a

3:16:30

calculation based on the actual energy of the element.

3:16:35

So, we are getting tones that you couldn't necessarily play on a piano, a lot

3:16:42

of them would fall in between the keys.

3:16:44

So, they don't fit our conventional...

3:16:47

Their sense sharp or sense flat.

3:16:49

Their pitch system.

3:16:50

But if you want it to fit, we can enable this, it says quantize pitch.

3:16:55

So, all these pitches are slid to the nearest note in the chromatic scale.

3:16:58

So, when you say key of E.

3:16:59

The chromatic scale just means all of the notes that we could play on a piano.

3:17:03

And I'm talking about 432 when I'm talking about the key of E on it.

3:17:08

Well, you make an error again.

3:17:10

So, you say this thing about hydrogen, 40.5?

3:17:16

Well, no, I wasn't saying...

3:17:17

Wait, wait, wait a second.

3:17:18

Wait a second.

3:17:19

Wait a second.

3:17:20

But I wasn't saying that hydrogen is 40.5.

3:17:22

I was saying that the key of E is 40.5 hertz and doubles to 162.

3:17:28

Those things...

3:17:29

Yeah, but you said it in a very authoritative way.

3:17:31

And the 40.5 is not 40.5 hertz.

3:17:34

It's 40.5 megahertz associated not with hydrogen but with mercury.

3:17:39

But you have to keep...

3:17:40

Once you keep doubling that...

3:17:42

But wait a second, Terrence.

3:17:43

You'll get to the...

3:17:44

You activated a bunch of chemists who said, I don't know this frequency.

3:17:49

Because they're looking at 440.

3:17:51

They're looking at...

3:17:52

No, 440 is an irrelevancy, Terrence.

3:17:54

440 is concert A in a time when we've decided that that is concert A.

3:18:00

If you were to use the Indian, the Hindustani system, let's say, instead of do,

3:18:06

re, mi, fa, sola, ti, do...

3:18:07

It was ut, re, mi, fa, sola.

3:18:09

No, they do...

3:18:10

Sa, re, ga, ma, pa...

3:18:11

Sa, re, ga, pa, da, pa, ga, sa, re, ga, ga, re, sa, re.

3:18:16

They use a different...

3:18:18

I did the suffolgian.

3:18:19

I did the suffolgian skill.

3:18:20

I know.

3:18:21

That's what I did.

3:18:22

But I'm saying this is that for North India, right?

3:18:25

It's an irrelevancy because everybody's allowed to tune their sa to a different

3:18:31

tone.

3:18:31

They don't have to tune their sa around A440 because there's only three

3:18:37

instruments.

3:18:37

There's a tabla, which doesn't have...

3:18:40

That tone is an important part.

3:18:42

There's a tanpura, which is tuned to the soloist, and the soloist determines

3:18:46

what their sa should be.

3:18:47

So can we do sa, re, ga?

3:18:52

So in that system, the absolute value doesn't matter because you can tune it to

3:18:58

whatever you want to tune it.

3:18:59

You're not trying to come up with an orchestra.

3:19:01

It's only the orchestral aspect of Western music and the need for even temperament

3:19:06

that forces us all to listen to the concertmaster as to what A440 is, right?

3:19:11

Okay.

3:19:12

Joseph Goebbels pushed that around the world.

3:19:14

Okay.

3:19:15

Let's not do Joseph Goebbels.

3:19:16

Let's just keep drinking whiskey.

3:19:19

What you have is a situation in which nobody understood what you said about the

3:19:24

periodic table except for a tiny number of people.

3:19:27

Now, if we go to that page, Jamie, that we put up, go back below that, the

3:19:38

Sound of Hydrogen from WSU.

3:19:41

So this is an academic page dedicated to the idea that you're trying to figure

3:19:47

out how to play these things.

3:19:49

And this is the sonification.

3:19:51

Now, you attribute more meaning to this, I think, but you need to know about a

3:19:57

guy named Luca Turin, who's a buddy of mine in the UK at Buckingham University,

3:20:02

which is trying to do some wild radical stuff.

3:20:05

They are working on the idea that smell is not based on shape, but is based on

3:20:11

frequency of the valence electrons and that particles that vibrate the same way

3:20:17

smell the same, even if the shapes are different.

3:20:20

And if their shapes are very similar, but their vibrations are very different,

3:20:25

they don't smell the same.

3:20:26

So there's an entire book called The Emperor of Scent about the academic, like

3:20:31

all the people who try to push you down.

3:20:33

They're trying to push Luca Turin down as if he doesn't know what's going on.

3:20:37

He's written the Bible of perfume.

3:20:39

I don't know if you like scent.

3:20:40

I do.

3:20:41

He, uh, he understands the vibratory quality of scent.

3:20:44

And so trying to sort of synesthese these things by saying that everything that

3:20:49

has frequency and vibration can be understood in each other's terms as a small

3:20:54

freak community of very smart people trying to do what it is you're doing.

3:20:59

The only problem is you gave us, you know, people ask me for an analogy.

3:21:04

What do you think of Terrence Howard?

3:21:05

Terrence Howard.

3:21:06

That's all I got for like a week.

3:21:07

Can we pull up the, the, um, Terrence Howard, Joe Rogan experience?

3:21:12

Yeah.

3:21:13

No, no, no.

3:21:14

We're having that right now that Janet, it'll, it'll come up as Janet left step

3:21:21

periodic table.

3:21:22

What you did to the periodic table was by the way, what a gift that I hate the

3:21:29

periodic table.

3:21:29

Can't stand it.

3:21:30

The problem is I had to analogize.

3:21:34

When I said, when people asked me what I thought of you, let's click on that

3:21:39

thing.

3:21:39

That periodic table is one of the alternate periodic tables.

3:21:43

That's much more in favor with people who are mathematically minded.

3:21:46

Like you are rather than the Walter Russell periodic table, because what this

3:21:53

does is it uses the quantum mechanics, uh, to stop with those exceptions.

3:21:59

Isn't it weird that there's like a footnote in the middle of the standard

3:22:03

periodic table in which you just say, well, these things are exceptions to the

3:22:08

rule.

3:22:08

This is an attempt to use the electron orbitals in terms of the spherical

3:22:16

harmonics, uh, where you're looking at complex valued functions on the two

3:22:21

dimensional sphere.

3:22:23

And this sort of alpha principle, imagine that there was only a Coulomb

3:22:28

potential centered at the origin in, in the hydrogen situation.

3:22:32

You would go along and say hydrogen first, helium, then lithium, then beryllium,

3:22:37

then boron, carbon, nitrogen, et cetera.

3:22:39

And this is the way in which you would build up the outer shells of the

3:22:44

electrons in which the, um, you have this principal quantum number, which is

3:22:50

basically the energy level.

3:22:51

But then the L quantum number is what we would call a highest weight for a

3:22:55

highest weight representation of SU two or spin three, which is the double

3:22:59

cover of SO three.

3:23:00

Um, that first one is one dimensional, um, but it's spin up and spin down.

3:23:07

So you get two elements.

3:23:08

The next one is going to be three dimensional, but you're going to get six

3:23:13

elements and then you're going to get five dimensional because spin, uh, it's

3:23:18

SO three that determines the representation theory.

3:23:20

So this thing is what I wish you had given us rather than the Walter Russell

3:23:26

thing, which is sort of a historical artifact.

3:23:29

Now, no offense, but the big problem is, is that if you are trying to talk

3:23:34

about like hydrogen and then you imagine carbon is an octave above, I think is

3:23:41

what you said.

3:23:42

Doubling the frequency.

3:23:45

What is that thing below hydrogen?

3:23:48

And you say, no, no, no, it's, it's too dense to be perceived like bullshit.

3:23:53

But there is ultra low frequencies, even though we cannot hear it.

3:23:58

Yes, but there's ultra low frequencies.

3:24:00

And that's what I'm saying.

3:24:01

That's where your analogy broke down.

3:24:03

No, because hydrogen sits in the same exact position as carbon does when you're

3:24:10

looking at it.

3:24:11

No, it doesn't.

3:24:12

It, it doesn't come off at the same coloration.

3:24:15

It doesn't have the same tone.

3:24:17

Terrence, you're talking about a periodic table from like 1926, something like

3:24:23

that.

3:24:23

And Walter Russell had some decent intuitions that he instantiated terribly.

3:24:29

Now look at all this shit that you're doing and look at the fact that he's

3:24:33

locked in 1926.

3:24:34

Dirac is not going to come up with the Dirac equation to supersede the Schrodinger

3:24:40

equation

3:24:40

for another two years.

3:24:42

Quantum electrodynamics isn't going to be born.

3:24:44

The neutron isn't going to be discovered until the early thirties.

3:24:47

And you're taking the wrong fight.

3:24:51

You're saying when David Tong, here's what I really didn't appreciate about

3:24:55

what you did.

3:24:55

David Tong said, this is all a lie.

3:25:00

And you took the wrong meaning from that.

3:25:02

What David Tong was saying was different.

3:25:04

David Tong was saying, we teach hard little ball theory, right?

3:25:09

There's an up quark and two down quarks in every neutron and two up quarks and

3:25:15

one down quark.

3:25:15

And they're all little hard little balls stuck together by rubber bands.

3:25:18

And then we've got one electron going crazy around it.

3:25:20

And he's like, that's not what's true.

3:25:22

And what did he say?

3:25:23

It wasn't a lie in the sense that...

3:25:25

He said, that's the best knowledge that we have.

3:25:27

He said, I don't know how to say the word field to a seven year old.

3:25:30

They're fields.

3:25:32

They're not hard little balls.

3:25:33

But that was my problem with David Tong because here I showed him...

3:25:37

You don't have a problem with that.

3:25:39

No, no.

3:25:40

The problem that I had was with his response to me was here I was showing him.

3:25:45

These are the way fields that your particles sit within.

3:25:48

Every time you teach, you incur a penalty.

3:25:51

But see, that's the problem.

3:25:52

How do you not teach when you have something new?

3:25:55

I'll tell you how to do it.

3:25:57

Okay?

3:25:58

First thing is you try to figure out who's ethical and who isn't.

3:26:02

I'm not kidding around with this.

3:26:04

You've got to be Jesus Christ to figure that out.

3:26:06

Because most people, they have a good face.

3:26:09

Terrence, let me ask you a question.

3:26:10

Have I been fair to you this time?

3:26:12

You've been amazingly fair.

3:26:13

Okay.

3:26:14

Have I been very kind?

3:26:15

Have I been uniformly...

3:26:16

No, I haven't been uniformly kind.

3:26:17

You have.

3:26:18

You've been honest.

3:26:19

Well, you're talking to me about...

3:26:20

My heart is open to you, right?

3:26:22

No, you've actually talked about the things that I've talked about.

3:26:25

That's right.

3:26:26

You've given me criticism on things where I've made mistakes.

3:26:28

You've told me where I've offended people.

3:26:29

Okay, this is not available as a service in academics.

3:26:31

I know.

3:26:32

In academics, basically, it's a closed little world.

3:26:35

And if you don't come with protection, we stab you in the eye.

3:26:40

This idea that Neil said about why doesn't he just submit to peer review?

3:26:44

Oh, I did.

3:26:45

It's the biggest bunch of shit I've ever heard in my life.

3:26:47

We've got two papers.

3:26:48

The geometry of the proton.

3:26:49

Did you get to see that?

3:26:50

Did you get to see that?

3:26:51

Can we pull up the Neil stuff that I prepared on that page?

3:26:58

Because I cannot believe how disingenuous this is.

3:27:01

He calls you the worst insult in academics, which is...

3:27:05

There was a study called...

3:27:06

The Dunning-Kroger effect.

3:27:07

The Dunning-Kroger effect.

3:27:08

It's both an effect that is studied and the ultimate insult.

3:27:14

It's basically your mama, right?

3:27:17

Let's just click on that and see what happens.

3:27:20

I spent a lot of time on it.

3:27:22

And I thought, out of respect for him,

3:27:25

what I should do is give him my most informed critical analysis that I can.

3:27:33

In my field, we call that a peer review.

3:27:34

You come up with an idea.

3:27:36

You present it either at a conference or you first write it up,

3:27:40

and you send it to your colleagues.

3:27:42

It is their duty to alert you of things about your ideas that are either misguided

3:27:49

or wrong,

3:27:50

or there's a miscalculation that doesn't work out,

3:27:53

or the logic doesn't comport.

3:27:56

That's their job.

3:27:57

Not all ideas will turn out to be correct.

3:28:00

Most won't be.

3:28:01

But to get to that point, you need to know things like,

3:28:04

what has everyone else said about this same subject?

3:28:07

Am I repeating someone else's work?

3:28:09

Is this a new insight that no one else has had,

3:28:12

but has foundations that are authentic or legitimate or objectively true?

3:28:17

Am I making a false assumption?

3:28:19

Am I making an assumption that someone else has already shown to be false?

3:28:22

All of this goes on, on the frontier of science.

3:28:27

Let me make it clear that I'm delighted when I see people with active minds

3:28:32

trying to tackle the great unknowns in the universe.

3:28:36

It's a beautiful thing that people want to participate on this frontier.

3:28:40

What can happen is if you're a fan of a subject, let's say, a hobbyist, let's

3:28:46

call it,

3:28:46

it's possible to know enough about that subject to think you're right,

3:28:52

but not enough about that subject to know that you're wrong.

3:28:57

And so there's this sort of valley in there, a valley of false confidence.

3:29:02

This has been studied by others, and it's called the Dunning-Kruger effect.

3:29:07

It's the phenomenon where a little bit of knowledge, you over assess how much

3:29:13

of that subject you actually know.

3:29:15

And then when you learn even more, you realize, no, I didn't know as much as I

3:29:19

thought I did.

3:29:19

So then there's a sort of a lull there.

3:29:21

And then when you learn even more, you come back up.

3:29:23

Ultimately, learning enough to know whether you were right or wrong.

3:29:27

To become an expert means you spend all this time.

3:29:31

It doesn't happen overnight.

3:29:33

You can't just sit in an armchair and say, I'm now an expert.

3:29:36

It requires years and years of study, especially looking through journals

3:29:43

where new ideas are published and contested.

3:29:47

That's what we have learned is the most effective means of establishing that

3:29:52

which is objectively true.

3:29:53

Or determining that which is objectively false.

3:29:57

Both of those work hand in hand to move the needle on our understanding of the

3:30:02

universe.

3:30:02

I'm going to read you just my opening line here.

3:30:06

It's titled one times one equals two.

3:30:08

Okay.

3:30:09

So I lead off.

3:30:10

So that was the, that was, now if we go below that, what do we have?

3:30:16

Is there, is that, let's try that.

3:30:18

Hi.

3:30:19

Sir Arthur Eddington, an astrophysicist, provided the first experimental

3:30:24

evidence for Einstein's general theory of relativity.

3:30:26

Which by the way, was published in a peer reviewed journal.

3:30:30

Crazy idea.

3:30:31

The platform to be accepted for the ideas is not social media.

3:30:38

It is not Joe Rogan.

3:30:41

It is not my podcast.

3:30:43

It is research journals where attention can be given on a level that at the end

3:30:53

of the day offers no higher respect for your energy and intellect than by

3:30:59

declaring that what's in it is either right or wrong or worthy of publication

3:31:05

or not.

3:31:05

I wanted to post this to my website so you can see my comments mixed in with

3:31:09

his treaties, but you got the sense of it.

3:31:13

Thanks for listening.

3:31:14

Okay.

3:31:16

Um, I want to be very careful about my words.

3:31:19

Is there anything below that that we've put together?

3:31:21

This is, uh, let's go, let's go above.

3:31:28

This is Neil deGrasse Tyson.

3:31:31

Uh, just so you don't feel bad about yourself.

3:31:34

Talking about me and my theories based on a question and ask me anything.

3:31:42

Will you be able to talk about to Eric Weinstein about the new theory of

3:31:46

geometric unity?

3:31:47

This is from 2013.

3:31:49

We are all wondering about that.

3:31:51

Cosmos is not your normal talking head documentary.

3:31:54

In fact, it's the feature of the original that enabled the series to live for

3:31:57

an entire generation beyond the shelf life of hundreds of other science

3:32:00

documentaries that came afterwards.

3:32:01

So the answer is no.

3:32:02

Let me explain where you are.

3:32:05

Neil is not unaware that you are never going to get your hearing at a peer

3:32:12

reviewed, peer reviewed journey.

3:32:14

Your ideas are going to come through.

3:32:17

You're a self-taught autodidact polymath.

3:32:20

You haven't been cleaned up.

3:32:23

You haven't been taught how to speak properly.

3:32:27

You don't know.

3:32:28

You don't know the fact that when you say lube, we know fixed point.

3:32:30

I know how to do all this stuff, right?

3:32:32

You're not getting a peer review from me.

3:32:35

I know a lot more than you do about a lot of this stuff.

3:32:38

You're getting an elite review.

3:32:39

And my elite review says that a lot of this is bathwater, but a small amount of

3:32:47

this is baby.

3:32:48

And that's not available anywhere.

3:32:49

It's not available in a university.

3:32:51

It's not available in a journey in a journal that's available on the Joe Rogan

3:32:56

experience.

3:32:56

And, you know, Neil's right.

3:32:59

If what you want is peer review, you should go to a journal and they will laugh

3:33:05

you out.

3:33:05

They will take one look at your email address.

3:33:07

And if it doesn't end in .edu, I promise you, you're not going to get hurt.

3:33:11

Do me a favor, Jamie.

3:33:12

Can you pull up?

3:33:13

Wait, wait.

3:33:14

Let him finish.

3:33:15

Hold on.

3:33:16

Let him finish, because this is a sustained thought.

3:33:18

Let's go below where we just were, Jamie.

3:33:21

I don't think Neil deGrasse Tyson actually knows the history of peer review.

3:33:26

This is Google n-grams, and it tracks how often a phrase is found in the corpus

3:33:32

of English

3:33:33

language books published in the world.

3:33:36

Peer review basically begins in the mid-1960s.

3:33:41

Now, there were various forms of review.

3:33:45

Editors, in particular, were very distinguished individuals who were chosen to

3:33:50

not peer review

3:33:51

things, to simply take a look at things and see who should be published and who

3:33:55

should be not.

3:33:55

Can we bring that back up?

3:33:56

Okay.

3:33:57

More or less, from what I can piece together, Ghislaine Maxwell's father, who

3:34:05

started Pergamon

3:34:06

Press, destroyed-

3:34:08

Jeffrey Epstein's Ghislaine Maxwell?

3:34:10

Correct.

3:34:11

He figured out how to destroy science and make a fortune, by blowing out the

3:34:18

number of journals, and forcing

3:34:22

every university to subscribe to every journal that he could figure out how to

3:34:26

publish, because

3:34:27

to not subscribe to all of the journals required an admission that you had an

3:34:33

incomplete library.

3:34:34

So, he diluted the quality of the editorship of the leading journals.

3:34:40

This was a group, a very informal, high-quality enterprise.

3:34:44

Now, most of the destruction of science, in terms of how high-quality it used

3:34:51

to be, has

3:34:51

taken place relatively recently, post-Robert Maxwell.

3:34:55

Because now we have an enormous number of journals, staffed by people who can't

3:35:00

spot publication

3:35:01

cartels, where we agree to cite each other's work, and we agree to publish

3:35:06

stuff, you know,

3:35:07

pay for play.

3:35:08

All of the nonsense that you see with irreproducible research comes after this

3:35:16

peer-review thing.

3:35:17

The peer-review thing got woven in so that people think that the scientific

3:35:21

method and peer-review

3:35:22

are effectively the same thing, where one is an unwanted infection from the

3:35:28

biological, biomedical

3:35:29

universe, which had peer-review much longer than everything else.

3:35:33

Neil is giving you a very cursory back-of-the-hand brush-off.

3:35:39

Okay?

3:35:40

I felt it.

3:35:42

All right.

3:35:43

I'm here because I love this man, and this is a higher-quality environment.

3:35:48

We have to sort out what happened with Tony Fauci and the origin of COVID.

3:35:52

I was very distressed when Joe was sort of credulously accepting everything

3:35:57

that you were

3:35:57

saying at a level where he did say, "Look, I can't evaluate this."

3:36:02

He was letting you have your peace.

3:36:06

Joe has established an extraordinary thing where he can call on a Roger Penrose.

3:36:11

He can call on all sorts of amazing people.

3:36:13

He called on you.

3:36:14

Well, he has lapses in judgment, but he has his good quality.

3:36:20

My point being that this is actually what science was supposed to be.

3:36:25

We were supposed to listen to each other, not go after each other with an ice

3:36:29

pick to the eye.

3:36:30

We were supposed to try to figure out the best version.

3:36:32

Remember at the beginning of this where I was trying to say, "Look, I want to

3:36:35

do the best version of your idea and build it up."

3:36:37

So what you're saying, though, can I just summarize this?

3:36:39

Sure.

3:36:40

What you're saying is that Neil deGrasse's understanding of peer review is

3:36:44

flawed.

3:36:44

Sure.

3:36:45

It is not really available to someone like Terrence.

3:36:48

It really isn't.

3:36:49

He knows that.

3:36:50

You see, peer review is not one thing.

3:36:54

One thing peer review is the ability to get rid of the axe murderer who's just

3:36:59

wandered into your office with a manuscript and red crayon.

3:37:02

Well, while you guys are talking, I've got to run to the bathroom.

3:37:05

Go ahead.

3:37:06

Go ahead.

3:37:07

Go ahead.

3:37:08

Just this alone.

3:37:09

It's an important point.

3:37:10

Yeah.

3:37:11

Okay.

3:37:12

So what Joe and I were just talking about...

3:37:13

Yeah, we're back from the bathroom break.

3:37:14

...is what is peer review actually and why is it controversial?

3:37:17

So imagine that you have four types of people, right?

3:37:21

You've got two establishment figures, one of whom is screwing up the field, who's

3:37:27

in a very powerful position and should be removed from the impediment, being

3:37:35

the impediment to progress that they are.

3:37:36

Another person is an establishment figure who's killing it.

3:37:39

They're the establishment because they're supposed to be the establishment.

3:37:42

The establishment has recognized how valuable that person is.

3:37:45

Now you've got two other figures.

3:37:47

You've got an axe murderer who desperately feels that they've got the secret of

3:37:52

the universe and anybody who doesn't understand them is a horrible person.

3:37:57

Or you have a heterodox person who actually knows what they're talking about

3:38:02

and can overturn the established order, which is where you get a revolution.

3:38:08

So peer review just sees establishment versus non-establishment.

3:38:15

It will lock in a terrible idea for 40 years and it will stop somebody coming

3:38:22

from outside.

3:38:23

It will reapportion credit.

3:38:25

So suddenly you do a lot of work and somebody, you know, this is this thing I

3:38:29

said about gripe and swipe.

3:38:31

We notice one flaw in your work and we take the entire corpus that you've

3:38:36

produced away from you and we publish it under our own name.

3:38:38

I can tell you a dozen terrible stories of peer review where people have

3:38:45

confessed to using peer review as a weapon against their colleagues,

3:38:48

particularly younger colleagues.

3:38:50

And to simply say peer review, it works, bitches.

3:38:57

Holy cow.

3:38:59

How, how can this be?

3:39:01

I thought I was upset with some things that you had said and done.

3:39:05

No, no, no.

3:39:06

They're dwarfed.

3:39:07

They're dwarfed by this.

3:39:09

This is so disingenuous.

3:39:10

Basically, this is saying, please submit your stuff from a gmail.com address.

3:39:19

We'll take one look and say, it doesn't look like .edu to me.

3:39:22

And we'll throw whatever you do in the trash heap and we'll say, well, you've

3:39:27

got the benefit of my peer review.

3:39:29

Now you look at what Neil said about your stuff.

3:39:32

And by the way, he's right about one times one equaling one.

3:39:36

You're wrong about that.

3:39:38

That was your opener.

3:39:39

You picked a terrible move.

3:39:41

On the other hand, you heard what I said about the linchpin.

3:39:45

It was a combination of bath water and baby.

3:39:48

I do not have any economic or authoritative interest in taking anything that

3:39:58

you've done, putting it under my own name.

3:40:01

I am simply here to help you.

3:40:03

And when we talked about the angle and all this stuff, I can tell you that that's

3:40:08

a great idea.

3:40:08

It may have been had by somebody else because I don't know, but I assume it

3:40:12

comes from you.

3:40:13

It may not work in practice.

3:40:15

I think it's pretty promising.

3:40:18

And I think if you don't do anything else and you create one drone that just

3:40:24

does that really cool thing, it'll all have been worth it.

3:40:28

No, we've got tons of those.

3:40:31

You've already created this.

3:40:32

You're obviously doing cool stuff.

3:40:34

What I'm trying to say is we in science have lost the ability to talk to people

3:40:40

who do flawed stuff from outside.

3:40:42

All we want to do is get rid of you.

3:40:45

And it's because we have this fake openness.

3:40:48

We have a fake scientific method.

3:40:50

Peer review has nothing to do with the scientific method.

3:40:53

We got along fine without it.

3:40:55

Peer review isn't even peer review.

3:40:57

It's something called peer injunction, where your peers can stop you without

3:41:02

shorting you.

3:41:03

I'm happy to bet against you and all sorts of things that you're doing.

3:41:06

And if you win and I lose, I'm on an unbounded negative experience.

3:41:10

But if I block you and I won't short you, that's saying that I think you're

3:41:16

dangerous because it's too dangerous to say to go short.

3:41:20

And the idea that we're handing old people and established people and very

3:41:26

politically savvy people the ability to block you without shorting you is unforgivable.

3:41:33

So what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to offer.

3:41:36

I'm like, I'm not pretending to be your peer.

3:41:38

I know a lot more than you do.

3:41:40

I'm giving you an elite review and you're welcome.

3:41:43

And the elite review doesn't find you as baseless as the peer review that

3:41:47

supposedly got handed to you does.

3:41:49

So that's, you know, in part what I'm trying to get at is in my field that I

3:41:55

care about.

3:41:56

For 40 years, we've heard this unbelievable trope that only the string theory

3:42:02

people are doing real work and everybody else isn't.

3:42:06

And it's total hogwash.

3:42:08

And there's no way we can get out from under these people.

3:42:10

In the case of Anthony Fauci and Jay Bhattacharya, I was just with Jay Bhattacharya

3:42:16

in Italy, you have this guy who has a PhD in economics and he's a doctor and he's

3:42:22

a professor and he becomes a fringe epidemiologist overnight because some

3:42:28

bureaucrat was probably in control of the bioweapons portfolio.

3:42:32

You know, because we signed these two treaties during the 1970s, the Geneva

3:42:38

Convention and the Bioweapons Convention.

3:42:41

He and Francis Collins suddenly convert a respected colleague into a fringe

3:42:48

epidemiologist.

3:42:50

And it's like, no, we're going to have a mutiny.

3:42:53

And the mutiny is going to be based here because this is a place that you'd

3:42:58

invite Tony Fauci and Jay Bhattacharya.

3:43:01

Oh, for sure.

3:43:02

Yeah.

3:43:03

We could do any of that.

3:43:04

I'd bring garlic.

3:43:05

Yeah.

3:43:06

We could have Michio Kaku in here.

3:43:08

And some crosses on the wall.

3:43:10

Let's have Michio Kaku and Brian Greene.

3:43:11

Let's have a discussion about string theory.

3:43:13

Let's fundamentally discuss neoclassical economics.

3:43:16

Shall we discuss whether or not random mutation is the true engine of neo-Darwinism?

3:43:22

Is that reasonable?

3:43:23

Or do some of these crazy people who say, I don't know what it is, but random

3:43:28

mutation isn't powerful enough to build proteins?

3:43:30

Because stability is too difficult?

3:43:34

The sad fact, Joe, is that you built something that has some credibility.

3:43:39

And even though you think of it as, I just like having conversations with

3:43:42

people and a lot of them are fighters and I'm just a meatball, we don't have

3:43:45

any other place.

3:43:46

We can't go to the National Academy of Science that's too politicized.

3:43:49

We can't go to Harvard.

3:43:50

You saw what just happened with Claudine Gay who's still a professor.

3:43:53

We've lost everything.

3:43:55

And podcasts, as dippy and shitty and as variable in quality as they are, Jerry

3:44:02

very much included, is this is all that's left.

3:44:07

And my claim is, is that I'll challenge Neil.

3:44:09

I actually think that this is a better place to do review because I'm on the

3:44:13

hook.

3:44:13

And by the way, some of the shit that I've said is probably wrong.

3:44:17

The thing that pisses everybody off is the fact that I have the models behind

3:44:23

what I'm talking about.

3:44:24

When I talk about when we describe the electric field or the plasmic field, I've

3:44:30

got models that define every aspect of that motion and I'm waiting for it to be

3:44:35

reviewed.

3:44:35

I will show you.

3:44:36

I would love that.

3:44:38

I would love that.

3:44:39

I'll take some of your money.

3:44:40

I would love that.

3:44:41

I would love that.

3:44:42

I would love that.

3:44:43

But I'll also try to help make them better.

3:44:45

But it's having the proof.

3:44:48

And then, mind you, like Jamie, if you pull up the...

3:44:51

But Terrence, you know what he's saying about not being an expert in teaching

3:44:56

and then coming from the outside and that it's like...

3:44:58

It's insulting.

3:44:59

Yeah, it's insulting.

3:45:00

It's a bad way to approach a concept because the people that have been studying

3:45:07

these concepts for so long instantaneously are told that they don't know but

3:45:13

you know.

3:45:13

And that's offensive to people that are actual experts in a thing.

3:45:17

I think the same ideas could be portrayed in a way that does not do that.

3:45:23

I have to learn that nomenclature.

3:45:25

It's just you're so much smarter than most of the people you're talking to.

3:45:28

That's what the problem is.

3:45:29

And this is one of the failures of Joe's bullshit detector.

3:45:33

In other words, you believe what you're saying.

3:45:36

And you're obviously very, very smart.

3:45:38

And you obviously have a huge amount of things that you've been introduced to.

3:45:41

Like, how many other people bring up Herman Grossman and Geometric Algebra and

3:45:46

Clifford Algebra?

3:45:47

I think I'm probably the only other one in the history of this program to do

3:45:51

that, right?

3:45:51

When I saw you mention Clifford Algebra, I was like, okay, there's a commonality.

3:45:55

Right?

3:45:56

Now, Sean Carroll for sure knows what a Clifford Algebra.

3:45:58

I'm not sure whether Neil deGrasse Tyson does.

3:46:00

Brian Greene certainly does.

3:46:01

But in general, this stuff doesn't get introduced in places like this.

3:46:05

And then, and you'll watch this in yourself.

3:46:08

I'll try to put a circuit in your mind so you'll know exactly the point where

3:46:12

you start pissing my community off.

3:46:13

Can we bring up the cruel tutelage of Paime?

3:46:17

What's that?

3:46:19

I'm, I, I love chick flicks and I think the ultimate chick flick.

3:46:23

Joe?

3:46:24

It sounds like my ex-wife.

3:46:26

I'm seeing you there watching Legally Blonde.

3:46:28

I'm seeing you right now with your socks on.

3:46:31

Let's go, let's, let's go earlier than this.

3:46:36

Is that from Kill Bill?

3:46:38

Yeah.

3:46:39

Oh.

3:46:40

Oh, okay.

3:46:41

I can't show this.

3:46:42

That's why we can't.

3:46:43

Yeah.

3:46:44

You gotta be more specific.

3:46:45

I can't show this stuff on YouTube.

3:46:46

I'm on top of these stairs.

3:46:47

Okay.

3:46:48

And Paime asks her, what do you know?

3:46:53

And she says something like, I am acquainted with such and such so and so and I'm

3:46:58

more than proficient in the fine art of Japanese whatever.

3:47:02

And Paime completely kicks her ass because she doesn't understand where she is.

3:47:13

And my claim is, is that you need your ass kicked and you need to apprentice to

3:47:21

some of us who know more than you.

3:47:23

And believe me, let me just tell you this.

3:47:25

I've had my ass kicked and I will get my ass kicked more because you need some

3:47:30

kind of humility.

3:47:31

You're coming across wrong.

3:47:33

By the way, never pick a fight with Jamie Foxx.

3:47:35

Holy shit.

3:47:36

Is that good at everything?

3:47:37

I learned, I learned that the hard way.

3:47:40

Jamie, if you're out there, I totally love you.

3:47:43

And what you did in Ray is just unbelievable.

3:47:46

He does in every movie.

3:47:48

He's just, he's so damn good.

3:47:49

Yeah.

3:47:50

He's an insanely talented person.

3:47:51

He's insanely talented person.

3:47:52

He's one of the most intelligent people I've met.

3:47:55

I was sitting on the set of, of, um, Ali with him and I'm playing chess with

3:48:01

him and I'm playing a serious game of chess.

3:48:03

He's having a conversation with two other people while he's playing chess with

3:48:11

me as if it's nothing as if it's nothing.

3:48:14

Yeah.

3:48:15

And I play chess.

3:48:16

Well, so for, I was, I've never been more impressed with somebody who can

3:48:21

compartmentalize and he's an organizational genius.

3:48:25

He's, he's, he's, whatever he is, he is.

3:48:28

But you know what?

3:48:29

I had my guy.

3:48:30

My guy was named Noam Elkies.

3:48:32

I don't know if, uh, Noam Elkies.

3:48:34

You never heard of Noam Elkies.

3:48:35

Noam Elkies.

3:48:36

I entered Harvard at 19 with a master's degree.

3:48:38

Noam was 18.

3:48:39

He didn't have a master's degree.

3:48:41

So we were sort of in a weird way, neck and neck and everything that I thought

3:48:45

I was good at.

3:48:45

Noam was better.

3:48:46

Noam.

3:48:47

I played a little piano.

3:48:48

Noam could compose anything.

3:48:50

I mean, this guy's just like super genius beyond genius.

3:48:53

Right.

3:48:54

And he was, he wasn't a bad guy at all, but he was so powerful in his mind that,

3:49:00

uh, like

3:49:01

he composed, I think an 11 by 11 crossword with no black squares and stuff that

3:49:07

just can't

3:49:07

be done.

3:49:08

Um, and I thought, geez, there's just no point in competing with Noam Elkies.

3:49:14

And one Christmas party, the professor named Raoul Bott, um, heard me playing,

3:49:19

trying to play

3:49:20

boogie woogie piano.

3:49:21

And Noam sat down and like, Raoul said, well, why didn't you play us some boogie

3:49:27

woogie?

3:49:27

And Noam started playing what he thought was boogie woogie, but it was like

3:49:31

Rachmaninoff.

3:49:31

And Raoul would say, no, no, no.

3:49:33

And Noam would go into Chopin and then he'd go into Liszt.

3:49:36

He was playing ever more brilliant things.

3:49:38

And finally his brain just blew.

3:49:40

Cause he couldn't think through boogie woogie.

3:49:42

But Noam then became the youngest professor in the history of Harvard

3:49:47

university.

3:49:47

And I realized that I had accidentally entered in a year in which a Noam Elkies

3:49:52

was present.

3:49:53

And by having my ass kicked repeatedly by this guy, I had to ask myself the

3:49:58

question, well,

3:49:59

what am I doing on this planet?

3:50:01

What do I have to contribute?

3:50:03

And all the things I see Jamie Foxx doing, he's not trying to do anything like

3:50:08

this, right?

3:50:08

There's a creative spark and a spirit in you that I really see and appreciate.

3:50:12

And it comes from an older era.

3:50:13

And we don't have people like you in the academy anywhere.

3:50:16

We used to, we used to have lots of these polymaths who would connect fields.

3:50:19

And right now what we've got is a specialization epidemic.

3:50:23

And as far as I can tell, what you need is some discipline.

3:50:28

And you need discipline from coming into contact with people who know a lot

3:50:31

more than you,

3:50:32

who can educate you as to what we already understand, how to communicate those

3:50:38

things.

3:50:38

And not just shut them down.

3:50:40

Well, that's the thing.

3:50:41

And the epidemic we have is assassins.

3:50:45

We have an assassin epidemic because the midwits in the system, all they do is

3:50:52

see things in terms of like Dunning-Kruger, Dunning-Kruger, Dunning-Kruger.

3:50:55

The funny part about it is that that's the midwits endpoint is that they see

3:51:01

heterodox thinkers and they can't figure out how to place them.

3:51:05

And so they just say, if I can find one error, I can reject everything.

3:51:09

And you keep triggering that.

3:51:10

And that's why you are where you are.

3:51:11

With the one times one.

3:51:12

But that's why I keep saying the one times one is more of a metaphor.

3:51:15

It's not a metaphor to us.

3:51:17

It is life and death.

3:51:18

You try to sneak one times one through airport security.

3:51:21

It's like, it's just the Glock 19.

3:51:23

I understand that.

3:51:26

But it was really to gain the attention.

3:51:30

To never do it.

3:51:31

To gain the attention of something that's wrong.

3:51:33

Listen, you didn't know and now you know.

3:51:34

It's that simple.

3:51:35

There's one more that's going to keep us from ever getting you through this

3:51:38

thing.

3:51:38

Can we pull up my page again?

3:51:41

We're going to wrap it up with this one.

3:51:43

Well, I want to do this.

3:51:44

It'll be a little bit...

3:51:45

We're four and a half hours then.

3:51:46

But we didn't even do a lynch man.

3:51:48

Terrence.

3:51:49

Terrence, we're so far down the road.

3:51:51

If we...

3:51:52

This is four and a half hours?

3:51:54

Okay.

3:51:55

I want you to take a look at the chemical engineering PhD.

3:52:00

Because if we don't do that, I can't actually help you.

3:52:03

Oh, that right there.

3:52:05

Let me...

3:52:06

Talk to me.

3:52:07

Let me explain that.

3:52:08

Here, I took over to...

3:52:10

What was the name of the university?

3:52:12

South Carolina University.

3:52:14

Yeah.

3:52:15

I was working with Apollo Diamonds.

3:52:21

We were growing diamonds.

3:52:23

And I had developed a way in which to grow diamonds larger than the two carat

3:52:28

diamonds.

3:52:28

I went over to South Carolina University and I talked to them about introducing

3:52:34

the diamond process, you know, into their university.

3:52:37

They were going to give me an honorary degree.

3:52:41

Okay.

3:52:42

Now, I'm thinking they're giving me an honorary degree in chemical engineering

3:52:47

because of what I'm doing.

3:52:48

And it's just an honorary degree in humanities that they gave me.

3:52:53

And so I went on the show and I was like, yeah, well, I got an honorary degree

3:52:58

from them.

3:52:58

But that ended up coming across as if I got an honorary degree in chemical

3:53:03

engineering, which I don't have an honorary degree in chemical engineering.

3:53:06

Assume you did.

3:53:07

Assume you did.

3:53:08

An honorary degree...

3:53:09

Is worthless.

3:53:10

Is worthless.

3:53:11

It's like, would you take...

3:53:13

If your child needed brain surgery, would you go to Dr. Dre?

3:53:16

No.

3:53:17

No.

3:53:18

Okay.

3:53:19

Here, I want you to hold this.

3:53:24

As a guy who was 19 with a master's degree, Harvard University and I got into a

3:53:32

fight.

3:53:32

And it took me seven years to get that away from them.

3:53:36

And they would have been happy to bury me without it.

3:53:40

Okay?

3:53:41

That is blood, sweat, and tears.

3:53:43

And the work that I actually started doing ended up in somebody else's name

3:53:48

because Harvard University in part credited with them with it.

3:53:52

That's the peanut person?

3:53:53

When you screw around with a PhD, like this Claudine Gay, this woman needs to

3:54:01

be fired.

3:54:02

Okay?

3:54:03

Harvard University needs to go back to the business of kicking ass and taking

3:54:09

names and being the place that is the shining city on the hill.

3:54:12

Enough with the antisemitism.

3:54:14

Enough with the woke.

3:54:15

Enough with the DEI.

3:54:16

Don't ever let me catch you talking about Jim Crow mathematics.

3:54:21

You're getting absolutely treated seriously for the serious stuff that you've

3:54:27

done.

3:54:27

You're getting treated properly for the wrong stuff.

3:54:31

That thing about the PhD, it's basically fraud.

3:54:34

What I'm saying to you is, I don't give a shit.

3:54:39

Merit is merit.

3:54:40

If I can catch you in a fraud, if I can catch you in a lie, I can catch you in

3:54:44

an error.

3:54:44

I don't care.

3:54:45

My question is, what did you do?

3:54:47

What was the cool stuff you did do?

3:54:49

I'm not an assassin.

3:54:51

I don't care if you, in part, exaggerated your achievements.

3:54:55

I know what it feels like to be shat on.

3:54:58

I know that you have no ability to fight what's being said to you from on high.

3:55:03

Okay?

3:55:04

What I'm saying is, the only thing that matters is what you contribute in the

3:55:09

end.

3:55:09

And imagine that there was fraud.

3:55:11

Imagine that there were lies.

3:55:12

Imagine that there were errors.

3:55:14

And imagine that the linchpin turns out to be the next level drone that defines

3:55:19

everything

3:55:20

because accidentally there are six degrees of freedom and there's six

3:55:24

dimensions in the semi-direct product of SO3 with R3.

3:55:27

Whatever.

3:55:28

It doesn't matter.

3:55:29

It's that cool.

3:55:30

Gregor Mendel probably faked his Peapod experiments.

3:55:34

And there's a guy named David E. Kaplan at Johns Hopkins University who said to

3:55:40

me something.

3:55:40

It's so beautiful I can't reproduce it.

3:55:42

He said, "Physics is based on everything.

3:55:44

It's the backstabbing.

3:55:46

It's the frauds.

3:55:47

It's the geniuses.

3:55:49

It's the craftsmen and the workmen who get the job done.

3:55:53

The experimentalists who toil on papers with a thousand people."

3:55:57

And this community of all of these people have come together to produce

3:56:03

something which is something close to the source code of the universe.

3:56:05

And if you're interested in that pursuit and you want to get rid of some of the

3:56:10

baby fat and some of the bullshit, I'm happy to help.

3:56:14

There's a lot of work to do it.

3:56:16

It happens that I had done a lot of the work over my life so I didn't have to

3:56:20

put an infinite amount of energy into this.

3:56:22

But what happened is, is that you created a mass delusion.

3:56:26

And it was a mass delusion in part because we're not aware of what mass delusions

3:56:31

actually are.

3:56:32

They start with a nub of truth.

3:56:34

They start with creative sparks of genius.

3:56:36

So we're on the lookout for people who are just frauds, who have nothing that

3:56:41

they actually can contribute.

3:56:42

And what we don't realize is that you have these things about kayfabe, which

3:56:48

are these melanges of reality and fakery.

3:56:50

Right?

3:56:51

And they're interwoven.

3:56:53

What you've produced is something that is part bullshit and part real

3:56:59

contribution.

3:57:00

And we don't have a system to pull it apart and we don't have any experience

3:57:05

for how to sense when that's what's going on.

3:57:07

But they consider the bullshit to be the one times one equaling two and the 97

3:57:13

patents, the supersymmetry.

3:57:15

It's not the 97 patents, it's not the supersymmetry.

3:57:18

It's simply the residue, the reduction of when we get rid of all the stuff that

3:57:23

wasn't supposed to be here.

3:57:24

Because you're a self-taught polymath.

3:57:27

You're obviously incredibly intelligent.

3:57:29

You're obviously not taught by the system.

3:57:32

And you can't do that work all on your own.

3:57:37

No.

3:57:38

So you've got to come in and you've got to find somebody who's not looking to

3:57:41

kill you.

3:57:41

And that's been the entire dance.

3:57:43

What I've tried to do is introduce a new set of tools to the scientific and

3:57:49

mathematical community

3:57:51

so that they can advance past the platonic solids.

3:57:56

The platonic solids I still see in a two or three dimensional position.

3:58:03

And since we are living in hyperspace and hyperbolic reality,

3:58:09

then we need to have tools that define that hyperbolic space so we don't have

3:58:15

to go through Lorenz transformations

3:58:18

and all of these unnecessary steps in order to get to defining curved space.

3:58:25

I think that the real story Terence is going to be whether you can stop

3:58:30

teaching long enough to accept some help.

3:58:32

I'm here to accept the help.

3:58:34

And I'm here to learn from you because I'll tell you something.

3:58:37

The linchpin is a good example of something which I didn't know.

3:58:41

And to the extent that I did know it, I threw it away.

3:58:44

And I think it's a great idea.

3:58:46

And I think that the art and I think that some of the higher dimensional stuff.

3:58:49

And I think that a lot of this stuff has a kind of beauty that if John Horton

3:58:56

Conway were still alive and hadn't been killed by COVID, I'd know where to send

3:59:01

you.

3:59:01

There's a guy, you know, there are sphere packing people.

3:59:04

They're accommodators.

3:59:05

They're all sorts of people who play with stuff in this realm.

3:59:08

But the one thing that you've got to stop doing is, is that when you get on a

3:59:13

program that has millions of people, you can't create one more mass delusion.

3:59:17

I've got a Fauci mass delusion.

3:59:19

I've got a string theory mass delusion.

3:59:21

I've got a Biden is fine mass delusion.

3:59:23

I've got a Trump is not a problem mass delusion.

3:59:26

All I have morning, noon and night is mass delusion on mass delusion.

3:59:30

But people don't understand that the reason that these mass delusions get

3:59:34

started is that there's a nub of truth in them.

3:59:36

QAnon is not, can't be total bullshit because it's got some core in it.

3:59:43

That's right.

3:59:44

And some craziness.

3:59:45

If you think about Dianetics and Scientology, the first thing that they teach

3:59:50

you about is the reactive mind.

3:59:51

That's not a terrible theory.

3:59:52

And then before you know it, it's Xenu and volcanoes, right?

3:59:55

So what's going on is, is that people are not aware of how kayfabe works, right?

4:00:03

Wrestling is, is one of the most dangerous, demanding sports of a certain kind.

4:00:10

Now it happens to be theatrical and pre-programmed, but if you've ever dealt

4:00:15

with anybody, like the wrestling community suffers a death rate unlike any

4:00:20

other sport in the world.

4:00:21

What you have to understand is, is that kayfabe, and I highly recommend you

4:00:26

look at my essay from 2011, is about what happens when fantasy and reality

4:00:32

intermingle.

4:00:32

And that's what you did on the last time that you were here.

4:00:34

And I can talk to you about the fantasy.

4:00:36

I can talk to you about the fraud and the lies.

4:00:38

But I'm also going to talk to you about the contributions, the genius and the

4:00:42

insight.

4:00:42

And what I want the world to learn is, you're getting sucked into mass delusions

4:00:47

that you're not properly imagining.

4:00:49

There's almost always a core of truth and reality that the mainstream won't

4:00:54

acknowledge.

4:00:55

And then there's almost always a bullshit payload that gets leavened in,

4:01:00

because in some sense the mainstream is our official cult.

4:01:04

And then all of the rest of us produce these other cults.

4:01:07

And in my situation, I've gone 40 years and I haven't had a really deep

4:01:12

conversation about GU, geometric unity, with my own community.

4:01:16

Where you are is that you're in a world in which the number of people who are

4:01:20

both competent and honest and ethical enough to have the conversation with you

4:01:25

has dwindling to fewer than 10.

4:01:28

It's been a pleasure and an honor to appear with you.

4:01:31

Thanks for being a decent guy.

4:01:32

I know that not all of this has been welcome.

4:01:34

This has all been welcomed.

4:01:35

Any truth.

4:01:36

And like I said, I take you up on, on explaining and exploring these into the

4:01:43

areas.

4:01:43

Because like I said, these are tools.

4:01:45

I just want to offer a new set of tools to that community so that they can now

4:01:51

advance past the points where we are.

4:01:54

Try not offering because the first thing you need to do, the first thing you

4:01:58

need to do is not necessarily be a student.

4:01:59

It's not a higher versus lower, but just recognize that you're bringing gifts

4:02:04

and you're bringing problems.

4:02:05

And it's very expensive to help you, but it doesn't mean it's impossible.

4:02:10

And one of the great things about this program is that if there is anybody out

4:02:14

there, they can hear it.

4:02:15

Now, I'll be honest with you.

4:02:16

I've been on this program maybe six times before.

4:02:19

I am often astounded that I can reach all of planet Earth and there isn't a

4:02:25

single soul who can hear me.

4:02:26

And I think that one of the things you're going to have to reckon with is you're

4:02:30

saying certain things and you may get hundreds and hundreds or thousands of

4:02:35

responses and there won't be a single meaningful response among them.

4:02:38

And I don't know what to do about that.

4:02:41

Stay off Twitter.

4:02:42

I did my best to give you whatever response I could.

4:02:47

All I really want is if you saw some benefit in the things that I've displayed

4:02:52

and shared with you.

4:02:53

I want them in my house.

4:02:54

Then let's have a conversation.

4:02:56

I've got a set for you as a gift.

4:02:59

We got it.

4:03:00

We're all connected now.

4:03:01

Thank you very much, gentlemen.

4:03:02

It was a lot of fun.

4:03:03

Thank you guys.

4:03:04

It was very interesting, very informative.

4:03:05

Thank you, Jamie.

4:03:06

Thank you, Jamie.

4:03:07

Thank you very, very much.

4:03:08

All right.

4:03:09

Bye, everybody.

4:03:10

Thank you.
