Starting point is 00:00:00 Julian, we were actually, we were recording a little Patreon episode before you got in here. Oh, really? And we were watching the video of those deans at Harvard talking about the saying, or the genocide of Jews is not considered hate speech at your university. She's like, well, not unless you conduct the genocide. You have to actually commit it, which I pointed out in the tweet. I was like, so it's impossible for an individual or even like a campus to have a genocide, right? Genocide is removal of all the people on Earth. Right, exactly.
Starting point is 00:00:35 But you can call for it, right? We can call for the, you know, I would never do this. But, you know, Armenians should not be, you know, people from Tennessee should not be allowed to exist. Those shiftless Tennesseans, right? And if you're doing that, you know, so that speech. But then they're saying that that speech is okay as long as you don't actually go out and kill everyone from Tennessee. But imagine trying to, so far, would you kill anybody? You know, no, it's really not.
Starting point is 00:00:56 It's a moral, complete moral cowardice. I mean, universities have gotten so rotten. You see what Dave Portnoy said about that? David Portnoy came out and he said that he, I think he went on one of the shows on TV. And he's basically like, I'm no longer going to, we're not going to hire any students from those universities
Starting point is 00:01:12 until those dean stepped down. Yeah, I mean, I was, you know, going around saying it's actually a good thing. My university is very prestigious, but it's not as prestigious as Harvard. And that's a good thing. Because the more prestigious the university, the more the president wants to keep her job.
Starting point is 00:01:29 And the more she wants to keep her job, the more dangerous it is for the university. So these universities, forget about that they've lost donations and stuff like that. Those universities have a combined $120 billion endowment. They don't need donations. They need donate. You know, like if you give them $100 million, their net worth goes up by, you know, one, one tenth of one percent, right? So this is not something that really affects them.
Starting point is 00:01:53 But. So what's going on with that? Like, why are they doing this? I think that they are so incredibly beholden to not offending, you know, which I think is very demeaning towards Muslims that they, can't say that these certain things are off limits and you can't say certain types of speech, just like Jews wouldn't go around and saying we call for the complete liquidation of all Palestinians from Israel. Right.
Starting point is 00:02:14 That's not something we would ever condone. So, you know, it's called making principles of your community. Like, you can have free speech. By the way, free speech applies to the government. The government of the United States cannot impinge upon your free speech, my free speech. They can't compel us to say stuff. But campuses compel us to say stuff all the time because it's a – It's not a free speech.
Starting point is 00:02:34 You know, it's not truly subject to the First Amendment because they're not the government, even at a public university like mine. And then that people try to say, well, no, they get government funding. But there are a lot of professors that don't get government funding. So what do you do in that situation? They can inhibit free speech very easily by basically you basically can lose your livelihood or you can lose your job or your tenure or whatever. It's the same thing with the internet. People self-censor because they don't want to be kicked off YouTube. That's right.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Yeah. So the more prestigious you are, the less likely it is that you would be able to do any other job in life. This woman, Claudian Gay, I mean, first of all, for her scholarship, she's the president of Harvard. You keep saying dean and just to correct you, it would be like me saying, you know, this is just a little YouTube channel, right? This is a huge YouTube channel. You're the founder, although I have to say, when I was invited on this show, it's called concrete. So now it's not called concrete. Yes, and we have more than 10,000 subscribers. Oh, really? Yes.
Starting point is 00:03:25 I think you have a lot more than 10,000. So, yeah. But, but no, no, the, the titles are very important for academics. See, we don't get paid that much. We don't get in, you know, too much fame. We don't get too much attention. You know, some get more than others, but academics really rely on one type of currency for their existence, for their self-gratification. And that's how many times they get cited by other egg-headed academics like me. And to do what the president has been accused of, and seems very credible. In fact, she's already going back and retracting this, these papers and having them re-edited. It's very, it's very scary. It's very scary. right because there used to be a saying in the Soviet Union. I don't know if you ever saw this pictures like Lenin and Stalin or this Trotsky, this other guy in a bridge. And like in the 1930s and then they redid this picture and they just, they edited out this guy. But in the 1930s and it looks flawless as if you did it with Photoshop. But of course, you know, 80 years before Photoshop existed. Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:22 So they just and so in the Soviet Union there was a joke. They used to say the future is known. That communism is the future. The future is bright and glorious. But the past was always changing. So they'd go back and erase things from history. So literally what she's having these journals do, which is unprecedented. In some cases, decades later, the president of Harvard, I couldn't get this done.
Starting point is 00:04:42 I'm just a lowly, you know, tenured professor, right? The president of Harvard has convinced the journals that published her academic papers, which are now being cited for plagiarism, that there's a claim that she plagiarized. She stole work from other people, which is fine to do and not even stealing if you quote it. And you say, Brian Keating wrote this, Danny Jones, or other. that and you put quotes around it. But if you say like, you know, your, your greatest hit buying a Lamborghini for $4.1 million, you know, whenever, like, and I just put it, like, I change it and I put Brian Keating video buying a Lamborghini. I get all the car. That's wrong. That's objectively
Starting point is 00:05:18 intellectually dishonest. But then to have YouTube go back in a race that you made that video, that you did this interview with CIA spy or a NASA, you know, a whistleblower, if you were to do that and go back and just erase you, that you never did it. I did. I did. I did. I did. You know, it. It's very scary. It's rewriting of history. What else do we have? We don't have our memories and our history. So it's a very depressing time to be an academic. In part, that was the reason that I wanted to, you know, play around with what Jordan Peterson is doing with the Peterson Academy. Hey, everybody. I just want to drop in to remind you all to please hammer the subscribe button below the video. That is the one thing that makes this channel and these podcasts grow and
Starting point is 00:05:57 enables us to keep making more of them, flying in guests all over the world, etc., etc. Thank you to everybody who has been subscribing. It has been helping a lot. The reach has been growing. We're now up to like 60% of the viewers of these podcasts are subscribed. They're still like 40, 45% who are not yet subscribed. So if you're a regular watcher of the channel and you enjoy these podcasts and you want to help, all I ask is that you just hammer that subscribe button below these videos.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Thank you again. I love you all. Back to the show. This episode sponsored by Maximus Tribe. You train, you track, you eat right. But if you're over 40, you've felt it. The results don't match the effort anymore. That's not willpower.
Starting point is 00:06:42 It's biology. Hormones drop. Metabolism slows. Your body stops responding the way it used to. Maximus is the online clinic that reverses your decline with prescription performance medicines, GLP-1s, testosterone, and peptides that reduce belly fat, restore energy, and boost recovery.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Over 50,000 high performers have all already broken through their plateaus. If you're ready to turn your hard work into measurable results, go to maximus tribe.com. That's maximus tribe.com. Which is a for-profit university, but with the cost to the consumer of less than 10% of a traditional university degree and accredited eventually, although not yet. There are all these weird chicken or egg things. Like you have to graduate a college class. Like people have to get their degree from Peterson Academy or this new university, Austin, They have to get their degree before the university itself becomes an official university. Does that make sense? So it won't be accredited. I don't know if you went to college or not, but I went to college and went to undergraduate. That was an accredited undergraduate institution. I got my degree, Bachelor of Science, and so I went to get my PhD also accredited. For new universities, it's a little trickier. You have to go through certain hoops for legislation so that just everybody can't open their own university and give charge people tuition for degrees. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:08:04 So, yeah, so academia has been really under attack. I mean, it's been bad for a long time. This so-called diversity, equity and inclusion, or as I call it, diversity, inclusion, and equity, and that makes the acronym D-I-E, is this, you know, it is an impingement upon free speech. So for these people to all of a sudden discover the newfound love for free speech, it's kind of, it's kind of surprising because some of these people were some of the most oppressive of ideas. they disagreed with. Yeah. And controlled the speech on campus extremely, extremely strictly until October 7th. And when October 7th happened and Jews were massacred in their beds in Kabbutzim and their, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:46 toddlers were kidnapped for the first time in war. There's no record of babies. As I said, baby who's a couple of months old is in captivity in Hamas territory and Gaza. Never happened in human warfare, modern warfare. And that this is acceptable. the day after this happened on my campus and other campuses students celebrated they actually were concerned about the people of gaza and Palestinians and said that the martyrs had done great good meaning the Hamas terrorists people on your campus on my campus what were they doing specifically
Starting point is 00:09:18 so they said they had rallies and support of the quote-unquote martyrs these are students for justice in Palestine they're called they're on every campus many many campuses some campuses have actually evicted them and removed them Columbia University Brandeis Recently, Rutgers University has banned them from campus. They have different affiliations, some with groups like care, which is found to be extremely problematic and its support for the October 7 terror attacks. Anyway, so these campuses have become really intolerant. In fact, in my campus at UC San Diego, we had a rally outside of the student senate. So the underground's roots voting on whether or not they should condemn anti-Semitism.
Starting point is 00:09:58 In other words, all your fellow students gather around and they said, we want to make a condemnation because there's been so much anti-Semitism since and before October 7th, we had a swastika written in human feces in one of our dormitories at UC San Diego. This was almost barely mentioned during what they, you know, these students for justice in Palestine have a week every year and they call Israel an apartheid state and all their slanders against Israel. But anyway, they had this event and that happened that swastikom not saying it was created by them. but it happened at the time when they have these events on campus. So the student senators decided we're going to have a forum, a referendum, and just say, we condemn anti-Semitism. Well, outside that meeting, there were students wearing kaffirs, the Palestinian garb and others, and they hoisted the flag of ISIS. They hoisted the shahadah, the flag that represents ISIS, Islamic State, in front of where these senators, to my knowledge, none of them are actually Jewish. Some of them are Asian, some of them are, you know, Latin American, some of them or whatever.
Starting point is 00:11:02 None of them are Jewish, but they hosted this, hoisted this flag in front of where they were holding this meeting. Clearly meant to intimidate. Nothing was done to them. You can come to meetings now wearing full head coverings unless you wear the wrong one. So you can wear a complete kphia that covers your head. But I guarantee you if somebody showed up with the KKK clanhood, they would be escorted immediately, as they should be. Right. You know, you don't have to host people in your campus.
Starting point is 00:11:25 If I came into the studio and I said, my First Amendment right has, has. has me be able to say whatever I want and start to talk about the KK. It's a private organization. You don't have to do these kind of certain principles that protect your decorum and what you expect to people that come on here and come into your private place of business or even in public spaces. So campuses have become real kind of centers for a lot of extreme repugnant views and not just, you know, very far away from an academia is supposed to be and why I became a professor. It makes me wonder too When you look at history
Starting point is 00:12:00 And you like How much are these students being influenced By where is their influence coming from? You know you always wonder like Is it coming from an outside influence Just trying to sow chaos Within the United States People really believe this
Starting point is 00:12:17 Because these people are so disconnected From what's going on in that part of the world Like they have no fucking clue We live we're surrounded by 6,000 miles of ocean In both directions like We have it so good here. Yeah. So good here.
Starting point is 00:12:29 And you can't begin to fathom what it must be like to live in that part of the world that's just been torn by war and religion for so fucking long. Yeah. No, and you look at it and you see people, you know, protesting the LGBTQ, you know, organizations protesting on behalf of Hamas. I mean, these are things that don't make sense because their views are antithetical. Like, try finding when was the last Pride parade held in Gaza? Like, just look up. shut up in Chachia. It's never happened, right? Whereas in Israel, Israel is a parliamentary democracy. So they have vote. They have all different parties. They have an Arab party. There's Arabs on their Supreme Court, meaning Palestinians. They're people that are Israeli citizens that serve in their military. I was just there in September. I spent time with a man whose father is a 26. He's a Bedouin, Muslim Bedouin from Tiberius. And his father's been in the IDF for 26 years. No problem. He's devout practicing Muslims. Okay. To say that there's like ethnic clans. and apartheid. It's just such a lie. In South Africa on the 1970s, they didn't have blacks in the
Starting point is 00:13:31 parliament. They didn't have a parliament that has a LGBTQ party. There's a party of that. There are parties of atheists. There are parties that are religious. It's one of the most diverse and multicultural societies on earth. And it's in the most dangerous part of the world. And the Jews have lived in complete, you know, kind of abject, you know, fear for decades. And this is not to deny the Palestinians should have landed their own. I've never claim that. I've never said that that they shouldn't. But by the same token, you look at, you know, things on October 6 versus October 7th. How could you possibly, you know, see how you could make an agreement to live in peace side by side with these, you know, people from Palestinian territories who now
Starting point is 00:14:14 support, there are more supporters I read yesterday of Hamas in the West Bank than in Gaza by a proportionate amount. Yeah. So this is the, these are the people that Israel is going to attempt to make peace with. I think it's going to be extremely challenging. I think Israel had huge breakdowns in their society and internally, but their democracy and these things will get worked out. Probably Netanyahu will be gone. But the campus culture has gotten so, it's become so virulent, these ideas like you were mentioning, that they propagate in a mind virus, that things you could not get someone to believe in unless they were an intellectual. there was a phrase that, you know, that's Lenin UCU is called useful idiots. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:58 There'd be people that could do good because they were stupid and easily duped. But I came up with a phrase that's called useless geniuses. We have all these brilliant people on campus, like the father of string theory. Maybe we'll get into it. Or one of the modern fathers of string theory, Edward Witton. Yeah. For the last, until October 7th or until just this summer, he had his Twitter feed. And if you looked at his Twitter feed,
Starting point is 00:15:20 essentially every single tweet about it was about how evil Israel is and how just the Palestinians are and how they you know Israel is basically an apartheid state all the same thing that you're talking about Edward Witten. This is Edwin. He's a Twitter? And it's Twitter. I haven't realized that. And so I made jokes like, no wonder string theory hasn't made any progress in decades, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:40 because there's this guy who was the foremost proponent champion of strength theory and he's obsessed with his, he's a Jew, he's obsessed with the, you know, alleged atrocities that Israel was committee. He's gone silent. He's gone completely silent. So I've hoped for strength theory. Maybe string theory is about to make a revolution because Edward wouldn't. Maybe he's gotten back his moral, you know, intellectual ability back. But until then, he was called a lot of times the smartest man on earth. Yeah. And he believed things that were just completely just absolute, just nonsense. And it takes sometimes an intellectual to believe such things. That's funny. So before you got here, I told you we were doing this little Patreon episode. And I called up Jack Sarfati. And I said,
Starting point is 00:16:20 Jack, he's a good friend of mine now after I went over. I went and visited him. I wish there's more people like him. I said, Jack, I've watched 10 videos on string theory this morning. Can you explain to me what string theory is better than any of these YouTube videos can? His answer was, it's bullshit. It's bullshit. It's art.
Starting point is 00:16:38 It's mathematical art. I saw his interview with you. Would you confirm or deny that? Jack's a problematic person a lot of ways. He's extremely, he's extremely upset. steperous. I mean, he loves to cause trouble. He copies me on emails. I've asked him to remove me a hundred times. I'm like, how do you possibly expect to revolutionize technology and physics if you don't understand how to use BCC? I would just love that thing. And one of my friends who I won't say
Starting point is 00:17:07 who it is. So every time Jack sends an email, this guy sends him a link to like donate to Kamala Harris re-election. Oh no. That's a little hilarious. Because this guy is so he's asked him four times. The guy won't do it. And then there's always a new threat and he changes his email address. So it's like every, every day this guy's getting a new email from. I actually have a block. So I've blocked all his emails. So, Jack, if you're out there, you know, try harder, my friend. I think he was at UC San Diego before he went to, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:32 He went to UC San Diego. Yeah, he got his degree there. And he's not his PhD, but he got his master's in physics from there. Yeah. So I have no record of anything that he's done the last 25 years or more even that. I haven't got back. I believe that he was mentioned in this book by my good friend, David Kaiser, called How the Hi, the Hippies Save Physics.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Yes. to what extent his contributions are really, you know, recognized. You know, I think you can look at who have gone, you know, these awards, who get citations, what papers have been published, what journals, and just the way that he communicates, I think, is really obnoxious. And the way that he criticizes my very good friend, you know, Eric Weinstein. He's an idiot. He's a schmuck. He's a smock.
Starting point is 00:18:10 I call that to me. He calls me that almost every time I talk to him. Yeah, I mean, you don't have to be around him, right? You're not in the field as the same field as him. Right. But everyone's an idiot compared to him. Yes, exactly. That is a fact, by the way. Yeah, Jack, they say, let me give you a tip.
Starting point is 00:18:26 They say you're the average of the five people you're around the most. All of the buddy around you is an idiot. You're the idiot. It's like the fool at the poker table. But, you know, God bless him, he can do his thing. But look, the difference between these guys is drink theorist and Eric Weinstein and Brian Green and Mitchie Okaku, who Julian, our mutual friend, has had on. they're all theorists.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Okay? So they're working on theories that are by nature provisional. Every single theory is provisional. The theory of evolution is provisional. The theory of plate tectonics is provisional. In other words, could change. I always like to bring up this idea.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Like, do you believe the earth is a sphere? I don't know if you've had flat earthers on the show. I have, yeah, I should have done my due diligence before. I know it's not a perfect sphere. It's like a flywheel. Well, it's, it's more like a pair. Yes, exactly. It boulders at the,
Starting point is 00:19:18 equator, it's a little narrow at the pole, so it's kind of like a pair, it's a little weird shape. But if you believe that it's flat, you're more wrong than someone who believes it's a sphere, even though you both are wrong technically, right? To explain, you actually need to involve these things called spherical harmonics, and even those will have some deficiency in capturing the accurate shape of the planet itself. But there's degrees of being less wrong, and then there are classifications of people you say that are not even wrong, a famous quote from Wolfgang Pauly. So the question is, can a theorist really make progress? The answer is no. A theorist can't do anything, can't do crap by themselves sitting in a room. Because for a very important reason, you may think it is the job of an experimental physicist like me or a theoretical physicist to prove something. But actually, proof in physics is completely impossible. Any physical science is impossible. There's only two subjects you can prove something in. One is called logic or philosophy, and the other is math. Math can actually.
Starting point is 00:20:15 have a theorem like one plus one equals two and it will take 200 pages to prove it from different category theory, group theory, set theory. And you can prove it multiple ways. You could prove Pythagorean theorem and I think 300 different ways you can prove it. But you can't prove a theory of physics, right? If I say the evolution is true, all I have to do is find one countercounter, I'm not saying this exists, of Lamarckian genetic traits and actually some of it, you know, was thought to be very plausible, say, or that, you know, you find some type of creature that doesn't use DNA and only uses RNA or some triple, I don't know, I'm making it up, but the point is one counter example can falsify something that was previously believed to be true, like Newtonian gravity,
Starting point is 00:20:55 like Einsteinian gravity. We don't even think Einstein's the final word, right? There's no final word because there's no proof in physical science. It's only proof in a mathematical, abstract, abstruse sense as it is, say, in mathematics and in philosophy. So for physicists, it gives them great angst. Theoretical physicists know that not only is it not possible for their theory, to be proven, it may not even be testable. And this is the problem with theories like that of people like Mitch Okaku, Brian Green, or Edward Witten, string theory, or Jack. I can't look into Jack's theories without getting a headache.
Starting point is 00:21:29 He says, challenge any of these schmuck to debate the Salfati. They're all scared. Oh, yeah, right. No, no, no, I'll quote what I was told once that Richard Dawkins said when he was asked to challenge them. and he doesn't believe in evolution. He says, I could see how that would be an outstanding addition to your CV. You can understand how it would be an absolutely horrendous one for mine, right?
Starting point is 00:21:54 So Jack's completely, you know, no one's going to debate him. No one's going to, because, actually, because of the way they do they. They don't want to be associated with him. They don't want to be associated with him. They don't take him serious. I actually joke. I say, like, somebody comes up with, because actually Eric Weinstein's called me up a lot recently asking about, like, my thoughts on grush.
Starting point is 00:22:09 And, you know, I actually haven't done my due diligence on. I've been so busy the last couple weeks, but it's something I'm going to have time. Maybe even talk to Grush at some point. But I always ask Eric or whoever I talk to or they have some new theory. I say, what's the Sarfati number? You know, like how far away from complete abject unfalsifiability? Just like I got there first. I came up with this and just the kind of grandiosity that people like Jack Watt.
Starting point is 00:22:33 And there's many of them. I get emails from every day. You know, Professor Keating, you're wrong. Everybody's wrong. I'm right. Let me come on the podcast. let me write a paper with you. I'm not good in math. I mean, Jack's probably good in math, but they'll say, I'm not good in math, but if you help me out, we'll share the Nobel Prize.
Starting point is 00:22:50 And, you know, and for, you know, I don't blame these people for having passion about these different phenomena. But look, if I asked you, you know, Daniel, I said to you, look, which is more important? Let's say, let's say grush is, or there is something, and I don't know, I actually don't know, which, because I think you're, you do an outstanding. You don't really kind of tip your hand at what you truly believe. You're not dogmatic. You're kind of. curious, you want to hear the answer. And, you know, for me, if I asked you, just point black, I said, let's say Grush is right. What do you think is the technology that allowed these spacecraft to get here?
Starting point is 00:23:25 He's claiming, as far as I understand it, he hasn't seen, and you please correct me wrong, because I don't follow this nearly as close as you do. But he's claiming that there are people in the government, our U.S. government, that have covered up the landing of spacecraft with bodies inside, with some type of bylawful. He's called them in congressional testimony. I've had on Ryan Graves on my podcast, who's a former F-18 pilot. He's been here, too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Yeah, and he's great. He's a very sweet guy. And I believe he's earnest in his mission when he's trying to accomplish. And he hasn't said, though, you know, he never said that he saw these craft, these spheres and stuff. Yes, exactly. He said that he knows a pilots and they would not only see them, they'd see them every day, every deployment. So, and Fravor claims he saw this TikTok. Let's just say they're all real.
Starting point is 00:24:13 There's some kernel of truth. God tells you. Here, Danny, boom. They're true. There are tick-tacks. There's crash saucers. There's biologics. There's cubes with spheres and spheres with cubes.
Starting point is 00:24:24 What if I asked you, Danny, what was the technology that was more important to those aliens to get here? Was it string theory or was it metallurgy? What would you say it is? What technology enabled it more? If you just had a guess, was it something like string theory or was it something like metallurgy? I would say something like metallurgy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:43 I mean, it's much more practical, right? There's nothing about string theory necessarily that involves anything that's a necessary condition for those aliens to get here. And yet you have people like Jack and like others that you need this warp drive and you need this theory of physics and Eric's theory of geometric unity is wrong. Because to answer this question usually presupposes the fact that these distances are enormous, which is true. I mean, these distances are enormous. But the age of the universe is also quite enormous, right? So if you imagine that these craft have been traveling, if they exist, and I'm not saying, I actually don't think they exist. Right.
Starting point is 00:25:17 You know, so I'd rather, you know, kind of defend that. But I think to be an intellectually, and to be honest, you have to say, look, let's give the other side steel man your opponent's argument and see if that sharpens up your own. So from my perspective, when people result as Dave Grush has, that these things are holograms and they travel fast in the speed of light and they can manipulate space time. I've heard him when he was on Joe Rogan. speculating about this, tying in these loose notions of quantum mechanics and relativity and warp drives and all these other things. He's a physicist too, isn't he Grush? No.
Starting point is 00:25:51 No. I thought he had a degree in physics. He might have a bachelor's degree or something. That doesn't mean he's a physicist. Yeah, and he's not a pilot. I mean, it's not right. And I don't think that those things necessarily like favor, oh, you're doubting a U.S. Navy veteran.
Starting point is 00:26:03 I'm like, he has more bigger balls than I do, but doesn't mean he's like better observer and analytic when it comes to data analysis. he did an eyewitness thing. You know, probably. Most courts, you know, eyewitness reports are replete with being completely erroneous, misinterpreted. You know,
Starting point is 00:26:18 they have famous studies where there's like the Stanford said there's a gorilla dribbling a basketball, like between all these other people. And you're just counting how many times somebody dribbles the basketball and a gorilla goes there. Nobody notices the gorilla. I mean, the fact that human beings are not considered as reliable as other forms of evidence in many situations.
Starting point is 00:26:37 It leads me to say that, like yeah, I'm just as qualified. Again, I don't have the balls that David Fravor. Ryan Graves have my friend, Ariel Kleinerman, I've had on all these guys. I haven't on David Fravor. Alex Dietrich. I mean, I'm like, she's not big balls, whatever she has, big ovaries. I don't have the courage.
Starting point is 00:26:54 I didn't have the physical mental abilities to be a pilot at their level. I fly a little Cessna's around. But, okay, I stipulate that. But does that mean that you just trust whatever they say? I mean, are we in the stance? Are we going to take the stance that, someone in the government is to be trusted. I mean,
Starting point is 00:27:11 I always thought that the government is to be suspicious of, right? We covered it up, Roswell, they covered up all these things. The Kennedy assassinated. So you can't have it both ways. I mean, at some point, you have to look and say,
Starting point is 00:27:22 what do the data tell us right now? And I'm always surprised on my channel how many people just assume that I'm working for big astronomy or there's some like, you know, conspiracy that I'm a part of, that like, because I am skeptical of the existence,
Starting point is 00:27:37 look, I'll be honest, I'm skeptical not only of the existence of alien technology, I'm fairly suspicious of the existence of alien life, which is a prerequisite for alien intelligence and technology, right? So, and I've made arguments for that. I was on Joe Rogan and Lex Friedman, but I'm not the final word either. You know, so caveat MTOR.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Why don't you believe that there is alien life or any, you say you said, you have said before, that you don't believe that there is alien life or intelligent alien life. I'm careful about it. I don't say I don't believe. Like I say, I don't believe in gravity either. Evidence.
Starting point is 00:28:15 There's no evidence. That's right. But people like Jack Sarfati would say that there is evidence and they've seen it. And it's not something you can measure and test in a laboratory with beakers. It's something that you have to see. It's intelligence.
Starting point is 00:28:28 It's police. It's investigative work. It's police work. Like it's something that scientists aren't going to have access to and they won't be able to measure and detect, but it's something that exists because they've seen it and they know, they know that, you know, if you have a security clearance or whatever it might be, it's, it's verifiable. And it's there. So I ask, are you, are you Christian?
Starting point is 00:28:50 I'm not really like religious. Do you don't believe in God or Christ? I mean, I believe in God. I haven't really explored it too much. I believe in something. Yeah. I don't follow us. I don't follow a strict faith. Yeah. Okay. That's fine. You're not a practice. You know, I don't practice. Right, right, right. Fine. But you know people that believe the existence of Jesus Christ, not only based on the testimonies of the New Testament, but also because they've had personal revelation or they've been saved, salvation from by works of Jesus that they ascribe to Jesus, right? Would you attribute those scientifically in any way? Would you say that their personal revelation of Christ, you know, in their deepest, darkest moments, they're at the bottom of a bottle or they're at the top of the world when they have a baby or whatever? Is that a scientific? claim or is that a faith claim? It's not scientific. Right. So in that sense, that's okay because faith is one thing and science is another thing. These things that they're talking about that they've seen with their eyes or they've experienced and there's some, you know, cover, those are also, now they're, they're not only faith, but they're also saying they're scientific. If you're making a claim that
Starting point is 00:29:53 there's objects and those objects have traveled across interstellar distances and or unless, or as Tom DeLong told me on my podcast a long time ago, that those things have come from four. boards in time or backward. I don't fully understand. Right. And he can't prove it. And he has no chain of evidence that traces the alien spacecraft that he claims he has evidence of.

If you love diving into culture and comedy, like on Danny Jones podcast, playoff hockey is right up your alley. NHL on T&T has the best coverage, making every game feel intense and unpredictable. Playoff hockey is a different level, overtime, big hits, and no one coasts.
Starting point is 00:31:04 The studio crew, with Paul Bissonette cracking jokes and Wayne Gretzky breaking things down, makes it even more fun to watch. Every shift matters, and the personalities keep things lively. Watch the Stanley Cup playoffs on T&T, TBS, True TV, and HBO Max. He's lost the kind of provenance, as they would call it, in antiquing. So at what level do you say, well, okay, now you're just talking about faith, which is fine. You could talk about faith all you want. But faith is almost like taste.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Like, I hate fish. There's no much, you could take me to the seafood restaurant down the street and tell me how great this thing tastes. And I'm going to say, I don't give a crap. I'm not going to eat that damn thing. And you could say, even as people do, it doesn't taste like fish. I'll say, you know what else doesn't taste like fish? A freaking hamburger doesn't taste like fish.
Starting point is 00:31:51 So I'll just skip the middleman and I'll have my own hamburger, right? So what's up, guys? I'm super psych to introduce to you another product that I've been using for years now that was also recommended to me by the world renowned nutritional scientist, Dr. Dominic Degasino. and it is called keto brains. Keto brains nutropic creamer is a way to perfectly dial in your morning beverage to bring you razor sharp focus on demand. I start out every day with keto brains in my cup of coffee to combat the midday slump

Starting point is 00:34:11 It may have saved your life, or it may have, you know, made you a better man. But that doesn't have any effect on other people. And science is about the determination of rules and patterns throughout the universe
Starting point is 00:34:23 that hold throughout the universe. The Copernican principle states the universe doesn't care who you are, where you are, what you are, what you're made of, what day it is. If I drop this, this, your gift, I'm going to wish you a happy Hanukkah, so I brought you a gift. Thank you. So I got you, I got you two gifts. Oh, three gifts. So this is, this is your gift for early Christmas present because I want you to keep your anus clean. Your anus. So I got you. So, wow, this is amazing. You got to share with Steve. Oh, Steve, we can bleach our butt holes.
Starting point is 00:34:50 You are, you're A9. You know that NASA is considering changing the name because it's so embarrassing to say your anus, right? They've commissioned a panel. that's beautiful. They've come up with the following term, erectum. So, and I'll tell you what this is later on. But if you look at something that is portending, you know, sort of masquerading
Starting point is 00:35:09 as something that could be scientific, forces, fields, life in the universe. All these things are contingent upon the existence of life, which is a physics question, a biology question, evolution question. And so they're saying here's this thing that interacts with some people, but not others. Well, that violates
Starting point is 00:35:25 the Copernican principle. Sorry, that's I'm going to have a big problem with you if you say that, like, there are only certain people that could experience it. So what good is it? You know, so in other words, only the people that want to believe it will see it and only the people that already do believe it will experience it. That's not science. It may be some cult or some new thing. And you see a lot of the same types of behavior. The people get very obsessed, almost cult-like, in their fervor for this.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Jack is screaming out every, no, why won't you listen to me? Why won't you? And I think he's suffering a crisis of meaning in that, you know, he wants to be. be accepted by as many people as possible. Well, how is that going to happen if you keep, you know, solipsistically referring back to yourself that you can only be the one that could be trusted with this information and you're the only one that could see it. And nobody, no matter how much, will ever get to experience your perception, your taste, your experience. So I feel like it's at the highest level, it becomes pointless almost to debate these people. So what, in your view,
Starting point is 00:36:22 what do you think explains all these things like Roswell and these things, that these pilots are seeing on their radars and the sightings above these nuclear bases and all this stuff. Like, what do you deduce from that? I don't want to avoid the question. But I would say, like, what, why don't you believe in Muhammad? Like, why aren't you a practicing Muslim, Danny? It's not fair, right? I mean, like, you might, maybe you haven't seen evidence to believe. Like, it's not up to you to explain why you're not a practicing Muslim, right? It's up to me, if I was proselytizing as a Muslim, to try to convince you that actually Muhammad, the prophet was this and that and you should accept him or Jesus or, you know, whatever, right? In other words,
Starting point is 00:36:59 my lack of believing it is not a statement about me unless you say, like, well, what would, in other words, how can I explain a billion Muslims worshipping Muhammad, Allah, and being like, okay, this is something that has convinced them. So now you're asking me an analogous thing. Like, what explains all these things? Well, I don't believe that they're actually, that they're representative of a reproducible scientific chain of events that can be, tested using the scientific method. If, in fact, it's true, which I don't know, but if it's true that they only reveal themselves to certain people in certain places or on nuclear plants, you know, then I have to be very suspicious as a scientist, right? I mean, I'm a father, so I have kids and
Starting point is 00:37:40 I look at the kids and, you know, if they say like, well, I have an imaginary friend, oh, what's his name? Well, you can't know. You can't experience him. So, you know, but he's telling me to like steal money from your wife, you know, like, okay, well, I would like to know more about that because you're telling me that something is happening with something that I cannot have access to because either I don't have clearance or the government's conspiring to keep me from knowing that information, et cetera, et cetera. So what is the information that's out there? It's, it's, it's too hard for me to kind of assess the credibility of what's been claimed by various people. As I said, they're much more courageous, they're much braver, bigger balls than I'll
Starting point is 00:38:16 ever have, right? That's grush, whoever, fravored. But that doesn't give them any ability to practice the scientific method than I have. And when you, I don't know, I mean, it would almost be better for me because you've, you've investigated these more. I'll say why I think it's unlikely. I'll never say that these, they don't exist. I won't even say that what they're claiming isn't correct. I'll just say you have to ascribe a probability.
Starting point is 00:38:39 And to me, the probability is very low. I can't say it's zero. That they ever saw this stuff, this stuff ever happened? That there are actually, I don't want to say that they saw it or they, that there are alien spacecraft from another solar system. somewhere else in either our galaxy or another galaxy that has been collected by human beings on Earth. Right. I'm not saying that that's what it is. I'm saying like
Starting point is 00:39:02 Ryan or the people that Ryan knows or Fraver, the things that they saw, what would you imagine them being based on your scientific perspective and your back? Like, you don't think that they're aliens from another galaxy. I don't think they are either. Yeah, okay. What do you think the explanation for them is? Do you think that it's just a construct? Well, so, you know, the name of my podcast is called Into the Impossible. And oftentimes people think it comes from the Sherlock Holmes quote, which is that, you know, once you've excluded anything, no matter how crazy the facts that remain, no matter how impossible they are, that is the actual truth.
Starting point is 00:39:38 And for me, the Into the Impossible comes from a different quote from Arthur C. Clark. The only way to determine the limits of the possible is go beyond them into the impossible. I have to ask what types of phenomena are possible within the laws of physics that I am very, very conversant with, and what things would go, so to speak, outside the laws of physics? You'd have to ascribe things to that. So in other words, how many improbable things does one have to believe to actually accept that these things are from another galaxy? That's a separate question, right? Yes, yes. So what are they seeing? So I will ask a different question. I'll say, what are plausible other explanations for what they've seen? So here's a statistic. when the planet Venus is visible on Earth about nine months out of the year. Three months of the year, it's behind the sun. It's too close to the sun. It's emerging from behind the sun. You can't see it.
Starting point is 00:40:24 But nine months out of the year. Not only in America, but throughout the world, the number of UFO sightings is statistically an incredibly amount more meaningful to be detected or to be claimed during the nine months of the year when Venus is visible. It's extremely bright. If you've ever seen it, it doesn't seem to move. It seems to hover like the way the moon doesn't mean. move when you're driving the giant parallax of it.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Same thing happens as Venus. It does change a little bit. It doesn't twinkle. It doesn't flash. And so millions of people, literally, millions of people report it when it's, when Venus is out, the number of UFO reports goes up dramatically in a statistically significant manner. Conversely, when it's not up, they go down. Okay. So that's an explanation for some things that people are seeing, right? So if you said every single one of those people, unless they're all right, then we can't believe in that being a UFO. Okay. So you'd be right. You'd be right.
Starting point is 00:41:16 That's Venus. So it's not a UFO. We are very good identification and it's not even flying. It's orbiting. So other things that make me curious about, suspicious about these claims. A lot of them are by military pilots. So what do militaries do? Do they only have the best interest of their people at heart?
Starting point is 00:41:34 Do the military ever use their own and tragically and horribly use their own conscripts or volunteers? do they only use them for beneficial purposes or for the actual missions that they signed up to do? Do they ever do siops on them? Of course they do. Do they ever abuse the power? The government ever abused the power and abused the people that are very bravest among us.
Starting point is 00:41:56 Of course they do, right? Do they ever subject them to things they would never subject ordinary citizen to under the Constitution? Yes, they're exempt from certain things. They force them to get vaccines. They do all sorts of things, right? And so could it be that they are maybe testing
Starting point is 00:42:12 these pilots? Right. Furthermore, what are some other types of technology? Do you think all technology that the U.S. inventory has or adversary governments have right now is known and is published in popular science? Hell no. Of course not. Right. So, therefore, there could be advanced technology that could have been basically kept completely clandestine until it was interacted with by someone who thought they were a whistleblower.
Starting point is 00:42:39 Right? So, and then is it possible to maintain the conspiracy? It would have to be, I mean, David and others are alleging, there's a conspiracy to cover up these things. And, you know, can the conspiracy be maintained over eight decades, not only between the thousands of individuals. You have to imagine, let's say Roswell, even though I know it's not that. So don't flame me on the channel comments below when you like, subscribe, and comment. I'll drop that for you. And don't flametering.
Starting point is 00:43:10 I don't believe this. But let's just say basically something like Roswell happened where there was a craft spacecraft in 1947, which, by the way, occurred very close to the Trinity site, very close to military secret compounds. And as are many of these things cited. Very few of them are cited over Manhattan, you know, in the middle of the Thanksgiving Day parade. Many of them occur in warning areas, which are military traffic areas that even I as a small pilot, I'm allowed to go into. So where the Tick-Tac was seen was it was an area that's not restricted or prevented from access to.
Starting point is 00:43:43 It's something I go into at my risk. I can get shot down. They actually use my plane as target price. They don't actually shoot. Thank God I won't be here. But there's a little Sassana and they'll practice locking on. Thank God they do. I want them to train.
Starting point is 00:43:55 I want them to be the best freaking fighting force in the world. I love this country. I want them to be, and I want them to be protected. I want them to be safe. I don't want them to be experimented on. I don't have control over that. But could they be being spoof? Could this thing have been a drone?
Starting point is 00:44:06 Now they'll say, well, it moved so fast, it can't be. Are there ways to spoof both optical sensors like the human eye cameras in 2004? Well, I gave this example when I was on show, Rogan Show. I'll give it now because I don't expect everybody listens to all my stuff, although I wish that they did. I said, in 1943, there was a great physicist. He's actually featured in the movie Oppenheimer. His name is Louis Alvarez. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:34 And Louis Alvarez was just a genius. He and his son actually came up with the theory of how the dinosaurs were exterminated through this impact of a meteorite and collected the evidence for what's called the TK boundary, the Chixilub event in the Yucatan. And so he was just a polymath. He knew everything. But he was also a nuclear physicist. But he, in part, in addition to the Manhattan Project, there was another secret project led out of MIT. And it was to develop radar in partnership with the British. and it was to develop the first radar sensing technology.
Starting point is 00:45:08 It's early 1940s. And it was almost as important, it was probably more important than Manhattan Project. In other words, it saved more allied lives, perhaps, or, you know, it established protection. It allowed London to be basically saved
Starting point is 00:45:21 during the war from complete, you know, just utter annihilation. Right. So Alvarez was working on it, and in that time, there were no, it was just, radar would be used. It would send up a pulse,
Starting point is 00:45:33 and that pulse would bounce would bounce off an aircraft, come back down, and it would get reduced a little bit by each time it made transmitted, something called the inverse square law. So the signal amplitude or the intensity decreases, the flux that you detect, decreases as one over the distance to the object squared. So if I bounce sonar or radar off of you, the intensity will decrease by one over the distance between, say, a meter away squared. And then if I moved you twice as far away, it be four times lower. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:00 And, and then it will also get another factor because now you become another transmitter at the distance, the same distance. So it goes down as one over R to the fourth power. Okay. So it's a very, very steep function. Yeah. What Alvarez said, and the Germans knew that. So the planes coming towards them and, um, and they would, uh, the allied planes
Starting point is 00:46:17 were coming towards the Germans. The Germans would say, oh, the signal's getting bigger as one over the distance to the fourth power. And then they could target it very accurately and send rocket or shoot it down or send out other planes to shoot it then. What Alvarez said is let me do the following. As my plane is flying towards you, I'm going to transmit a signal to you, okay? Which sounds weird. Why would I transmit a signal telling you where I am? No, no, no, no. But he transmitted it at the exact rate of decrease that I would expect as if the plane were going away. So he started off with some signal
Starting point is 00:46:46 out, say, one unit. And then he dropped it by the fourth power. And they were like, oh, the plane's going away. It's no longer a threat. Boom. Then they blew up the site with an anti-radiation bomb. So if you were a German, you know, one of the most advanced technological, you know, civilizations on Earth, you would be saying that object defied the laws of physics. Not only do we not see it, but we also, so it had some stealth capabilities to, but actually move faster than the speed of light, and it moved in a way that we can't understand. It was here one minute, but actually, we thought it was there, but it was actually, you know, 80 kilometers away. And that happened in one second, that's, you know, a million microseconds. So it appeared to defycecond. So it appeared to
Starting point is 00:47:27 the laws of physics. So there are all sorts of things that they could do, especially during military. Military are the least reliable in a certain sense because they're probably the ones that are most confronted with both the adversary's highest technology and their own friendly militaries, you know, sciops and experiments on them and loyalty tests and all sorts of false flag events or colored wars, all sorts of things that they can do to sort of spoof and to train and to test the fighting forces readiness and their loyalty. And that's just a fact of life. So, and you have to, is that more plausible, Danny? And I'm not saying, I'm right. And again, I'm never saying this that that I have a final word either.
Starting point is 00:48:07 Do your own, you know, due diligence. You know, this is not investment advice. But if you look at the data, then you compare it to the alternative hypothesis. It's called a likelihood ratio test. This is what scientists do. You say, like, how likely is it that this vaccine is going to improve your life and prevent some disease versus it's going to kill you? And, you know, for most vaccines, it's very important to know that likelihood ratio. But you're always comparing the null hypothesis. Okay. The null hypothesis is this is not going to do any harm or any benefit. Or in this case, there is, there are no aliens as my null hypothesis. Okay. Then take this ratio and we can do a mathematical function that will predict what are the different levels. In other words, should it be 99% confident? Should it be 50% confident, which is almost useless? Or should it be 99.99% confidence in
Starting point is 00:48:52 hypothesis. It's called hypothesis testing. And then you have to question, what if you there are aliens and you assume that they're not, so you get a false negative. Okay, so if Brian Keating is right, then I'm responsible for a huge false negative. Or if you say there's a false positive, you are claiming their aliens when there aren't aliens. Those are both errors, right? In both cases, you're wrong. You'd like it to be there are aliens.
Starting point is 00:49:15 If there are aliens, you detect that there are aliens. Or if there are no aliens, you rule out the existence of aliens. Those are the kind of correct answers. And then there's two different ways you can be wrong, false positive, false negative. Right. Which is worse. Like, you go to the doctor. The doctor says to you, Danny, you got cancer. Which would you rather have there be? He's false positive or false negative? Right. Right. So it's, it's right. If the girl, but normally what happens is you get, you might get a false negative, right? I mean, that's much more common because it's hard to see small amounts of cancer, for example. It's also hard to see small amounts of UFOs, right? These things have been able to travel across interstellar distances, right? And the old joke, Elon Musk keeps making it. Like, why is the, you know, photoqualification? so bad. Why is the, you know, video, you know, why is it so crappy? The cell phones have gotten so much better. I think I have some explanations for that, by the way. Or here's my other favorite one. And again, I'm steelmanning my opponents, not my enemies, just my intellectual
Starting point is 00:50:09 opponents. I don't, I don't believe, I don't not want to believe it. By the way, let me put a pin in the, in the explanation for why these things keep happening where they do. But I, I, and and good physicists like Eric or in others. Even people that aren't physicists that are skeptical. They, Avi Lope is a good example. He's a skeptic. He doesn't believe. And he's got vested interest in millions and perhaps billions of dollars in the Galileo project
Starting point is 00:50:37 and all the other things he's doing. He'd be great for you to talk to. I talked to him. He's down here. Okay, great. So my question is, who would be more overjoyed at the existence of some, I mean, whatever if, again, assume they're aliens. for this time being,
Starting point is 00:50:51 have they led to the Independence Day like destruction of the earth? No, right? We're still here. Yes. You know, maybe they're planning something. But like,
Starting point is 00:50:58 so far they've been benevolent or benign. Right. They haven't bothered us, right? Who would be more overjoyed with a race, a species, a civilization of technologically advanced aliens? Who would be more thrilled than physicists?
Starting point is 00:51:11 We would be, I mean, you see how we get with like chat GPT, which is like nothing compared to the kind of intelligence it would take to make an alien spacecraft that can traverse the galaxy and bend space and time, right?
Starting point is 00:51:21 In other words, physicists have a vested interest in aliens existing. In other words, I will say, I want to believe, I want there to be aliens to tell us about the physics
Starting point is 00:51:30 of the 29th century. I don't want to wait that long. I want to know, I'm going to live for another 50 years maybe. I want to learn as much as possible while I'm still alive. Aliens can help be the ultimate cliff notes to help me understand it.
Starting point is 00:51:40 And so I have a vested interest in there being aliens, okay? But as I say, I'm skeptical about it, okay? Now I mentioned, there's this,
Starting point is 00:51:49 There's kind of joke, again, in Elonism, got to love Elon. But he's like, oh, these aliens are so advanced. They navigated from the closest star system, Proximus and Turi, B, at traveling at, you know, quarter of the speed of light, would take 25 years and do untold damage, you know, to whatever biologics are in there. And it would require, you know, basically the warping of space time to accelerate to these speeds, anything macroscopic, like the size of a spacecraft, like a tick-tac, almost an infinite supply of energy, propulsion,
Starting point is 00:52:21 Safardi warp drives, whatever you want, okay? Yeah. But they crash in the island of Catalina off the coast of Los Angeles. They crash somewhere in Roswell. In other words, they're so skilled that they traverse the entire galaxy,
Starting point is 00:52:36 but they can't, or not real, because they crash all the time. I don't think that's what a lot of people believe. A lot of people believe that they're from here, that they're living under the oceans and they're coming under the oceans and they're, I mean, that's what Sorfadi believe. what a lot of people I talk to on here believe they're they're not coming from other galaxies
Starting point is 00:52:51 they're actually here so like atlantis uh no yeah maybe maybe maybe maybe atlantis i don't know but they think that these things are coming from the oceans and these things maybe live under the oceans or they're walking among among us or maybe there are people that are out there like me and you or elon musk more likely that are genetically also like this alien race right they're they look and talk like me and you, but they aren't, you know, they don't look like the aliens we see in the movies, but they're technically aliens. Okay.
Starting point is 00:53:21 And or this technology that's coming around, that's flying around that they're seeing is not necessarily, it's not coming from another star system. It's coming from here somewhere, and it's remaining hidden. Well, so I'm talking more about the, the types of alien, like Roswell. Roswell, to my knowledge, was not from the ocean.
Starting point is 00:53:37 It was from another start, you know, recula, reticulum, whatever, Omega. So, but I just want to, make a statement about that. If you do hear that, again, I'm supporting the fact pattern that should be amenable to many members of your audience and not to ingratiate myself, but because it's legitimate as a scientist, you should actually specify all the ways you could be wrong.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Right. I'm telling you all the ways Brian Keating could be wrong. So in this case, though, those that say that it's impossible to believe that these advanced civilizations crashed, you know, after navigating their whole way across the entire galaxy, right? No, actually, it's a very common effect. Something like six times. So I don't want to say this jinx myself. I'm getting on a plane at what an hour or so an hour and a half. So something like six times, you're six times more likely to be involved in a plane that crashes upon landing than you are at any other phase in flight.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Right. Even though the fraction of that plane being in landing is only a few minutes or a few seconds. Landing and takeoff, right? Yeah. Takeoff is also dangerous, but landing in particular seem. And it's the whole landing process, not just like touching down the wrong. And these aren't fatal crashes. I mean, 90% of crashes people walk away from.
Starting point is 00:54:49 Most commercial airlines, and please God, it should hold true. At least through tonight when I get home. Unless you're on that Malaysian flight with the UFOs that are floater. Oh, yeah, you were, you had been talking about that, right? Yeah, they were, mutually caught up in a bunch of drama. I have not investigated. Just don't even look at it. I don't wait your time.
Starting point is 00:55:03 You know, when that was happening, it was right when my experiment described in my first book, losing the Nobel Prize, was we were made the announcement on the front page of the New York Times that we discovered the origin of the universe as evidenced by these waves of gravity. And so, yeah, that was right when Putin invaded Crimea the first time. And when the Malaysian airline, that's tragically crashed. So we shared the New York Times top billing with those events. Anyway, so it's not at all unexpected that if these spacecraft were traveling, that they would crash in the final segment. And to give the people like Elon to say, oh, well, you know, why is the video camera so crappy? And why is it that this, again, another thing,
Starting point is 00:55:42 it's called a zoo hypothesis. These are just ways that you could. evade the Fermi paradox. And so basically, it's a Fermi Paradox is an interesting, scientific. He was a physicist, a theoretical and experimental physicist, the last of a breed. He was at Los Alamos, too, wasn't he? Yeah, he was a huge. He was one of the, he invented the first controlled chain reaction at the University of Chicago. At Fermilab is named after him, and people have claimed weird things in Fermilab. But the Fermi paradox is, you know, if the universe is so big, it should
Starting point is 00:56:11 be competing with aliens. How come we haven't seen any? Of course, a lot of people, believe we have seen them and just as being covered up. But the question as to why, you know, the, either the video quality is so bad or why they would choose to come here, you know, when you, when you think about, you know, what, what is interesting about Earth? Is Earth interesting? Is it worth them coming to take a look at? A lot of people say no. And a lot of people, though, you look at how amazing life is on Earth and how amazing human beings are. To me, it would be a natural place for them to come and visit.
Starting point is 00:56:43 And so, yeah, when you think about. well, what interests them? And why would they allow themselves to be seen? So there's something called the zoo hypothesis, I mentioned a second. The zoo hypothesis is that they're here. But just like when you go to the zoo, you don't like go and knock on the window of the guerrillas and keep bothering them. Or Jane Goodall, the primatologist. So when she would go to the Serengeti, she would go, hey, everybody, you know, taking all these flash, paparazzi type camera pictures.
Starting point is 00:57:08 So I wouldn't do that. In this case, when you, when the, let's say the aliens did come again. Don't believe this personally, or I don't have evidence for this, but if it were true that they left when they first discovered that human beings were, you know, alive and could produce things, the very first technological signature we blasted out into space was like the 1936 Olympic Games, something like that. And the first widely televised, not over cable TV, but over the air. So it was free to propagate now. They wouldn't see anything or they would see very little because most stuff goes under the ocean. So it was broadcasting through satellite into outer space. So 70, 80 years ago, they could have known about it.
Starting point is 00:57:47 So what's 70, 80 years ago, what kind of technology do they think that we had? So let's say they start off, oh, human beings over there, planet three, Saul, you know, it's in the solar system. You know, it's green, blue planet. Let's go there. They set off 80 years ago. They're looking at the technology that we had then, right? So they wouldn't say, oh, we should make sure we cloak ourselves and are stealthy because they have iPhone 15s. They don't know about that.
Starting point is 00:58:13 In other words, they laugh. They're not, you know, the technology that maybe as they travel, they could have learned about our technology as it keeps increasing, but not only at the rate at which we were broadcasting into the, you know, they just learned about iPhone 15 when you and I did, right, like three months ago. Right. So, in other ways, it shouldn't, it's not surprising. So a lot of these things are, I think, you know, basically pandering to like, oh, they're not there. Here's, you can just dismiss it because the video quality is crappy. They wouldn't crash land if they're such expert pilots. and they wouldn't allow themselves to be seen.
Starting point is 00:58:45 Those are completely illegitimate arguments against it. Supporting a position I believe in, which are faith in or have evidence for, which is that they don't exist. So I think it's important as a scientist to do that. And I think the more you talk to experimentalists, the better. People are actually building stuff, you know, grappling with law. If you brought Edward Witten in here, you know, I don't know if he could, you know, turn on the Wi-Fi and get the Wi-Fi up to boot again.
Starting point is 00:59:10 You know, theoretical physics are very different than experiment. mental physicist. They have a different skill set. It's much more like a mathematician. I don't think anyone say, let's get the mathematicians in here. Although, you know, people like Stephen Wilfrum have done things with like alien, like deciphering alien language in the movie Arrival. He was a consultant on that. So, and, you know, Kip Thorne is actually doing a lot of work in the movie Interstellar. So, yeah, these are, these are things that are of interest, but I almost am betting against my own self-interest. When you talk to Ryan, did he mention to you the thing with the cube in the sphere? Yeah. I mean, he had said that that's what his,
Starting point is 00:59:48 uh, his fellow pilots had, had claimed that they had seen and then we're seeing on almost continuous basis. Yeah. So I, from what I understood was when they saw the cube in the sphere, they were flying and then all of a sudden, like, they just passed this thing. And then he said it was like right off of their, like the left or the right hand of the plane, like off the wingspan. They didn't necessarily see it. That's not what I heard. Oh, really? What did you hear? Well, I asked them that specifically as a pilot. I was like, how close were these things? And he said they flew between us and he said that multiple times and I said you have to be more clear how close were you because my best friend one of my best friends are a klinerman who's a princeton physics
Starting point is 01:00:21 graduate and a commander in the day he actually is higher rank than ryan their buddies he went to his wedding um and so ryan was right there and i said when you guys are flying these formations how close are you guys he said over a mile apart typically a mile a really so two planes separated by a mile that means the closest you know that they could have been to this thing is half a mile and they might have perfect vision, but the cube they describe is about a meter across, something like that, and the sphere surrounding it.
Starting point is 01:00:47 I always get it mixed up, but I believe that's what it was. About a meter or so. So the visual acuity to see something, imagine you got half a mile with 10 football fields or more, and you're looking at the football, could you tell the football was one foot big
Starting point is 01:01:01 or could you tell it was three feet big? If it wasn't glowing or doing something, it's very difficult to do. And again, no Spursons unright. I think what he's doing is very important. And I also think that, you know, he is not claiming he saw it. And it's just like Grush. Grush is not claiming he saw these things.
Starting point is 01:01:19 He's saying he has knowledge of people that have seen it. And in the case of Grush, I don't know what his motivations might be. I love to talk to him. He seems like a great, you know, again, courageous, valorous, patriotic, whatever. But he's not claiming these things. Ryan has a motive. He actually has a motive. And it happens to be a beneficent one, a good one,
Starting point is 01:01:37 in that he's concerned about the safety of his fellow pilots, which actually made me a little bit suspicious. Not enough him. I love him. He said, been to my house for dinner. I really enjoy Ryan. But he described, and we talked about it. Did you find it?
Starting point is 01:01:51 Yeah. You want it? Yeah, yeah, throw it up. Yeah. Continue. So Ryan didn't have this particular fact happened to him. But Fravor did. I don't know if you remember the interview when he did with Lex Friedman and others.
Starting point is 01:02:04 But he said, you know, he saw this TikTok. and then almost by the time he landed back on the aircraft carrier his fellow pilots were just hazing him mercilessly and he was like outranking them
Starting point is 01:02:16 so I could understand like a little bit of teasing or whatever but they basically didn't believe him and now Ryan's saying this is happening all the time off the coast of Virginia by the way they're both
Starting point is 01:02:24 in warning areas both in the same type of aircraft one Ryan's aircraft and the ones that have been seeing this had just been upgraded to a new type of camera again they use these cameras
Starting point is 01:02:34 to lock on to see you know they'll do everything from my friend Ariel, I don't think it's classified. I think he talked about. He shot down an Iranian drone over the Persian Gulf during the Iraq war. You know, they see these things all the time. And it was right after they upgraded the systems. Why did they upgrade them?
Starting point is 01:02:49 They have to calibrate them and they have to get better and better systems. Fravers, one was 20 years old now, by now about 20 years old and 10 years old than the one that Ryan Graves had been using or his squadron. So the question is, why would they be, you know, kind of hazing somebody if indeed it was causing this grave threat and something's happening all the time. You know, why is it happening in these warning areas, you know, why is it happening in places where they do training? It's not happening. Why aren't there by ratio of, you know, proportion, you know, tens of thousands of commercial pilots, private pilots like me, you know, seeing it, reporting it. I could see if you're a commercial pilot
Starting point is 01:03:29 and you report this. If you get hazed in the Navy, they're not going to kick you out. They're just going to put like a fuzzy alien on your bunk. If you're in the, if you're in flying for American Airlines and you keep reporting this, you probably would get either put on, you know, psychiatric leave or something like that. So there's a big imperative to keep quiet probably for those people, but people like me. This episode sponsored by Maximus Tribe. You train, you track, you eat right.

You know, sometimes I fly cancer patients to get treatments, and it's called Angel Flight, which is a great charity. People should be aware of. There's no incentive for me not to report this. There's no reporting platform that is as good as the one that Ryan's going to make with the Safe Air Americans for Safe Aerospace. So there's a motive.
Starting point is 01:05:49 It's a good one for him to do it. I think there's, you have to ask, why aren't there more sightings by people that have no skin in the game? That's a question I have.

My friend Jeremy Reese pointed this out to me. Scroll down. Yeah, I've talked to Jeremy before. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:20 So this is a patent. And this is a radar reflector that will. was used during the, I think it was developed during like the Bay of Pigs to spoof radar. Yeah, it's like the US patent two million. Yeah, so can you zoom in on the text? Nine million. So it's probably 60 or 50. Can you zoom in, punch in a little bit on?
Starting point is 01:07:39 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Scroll up. Yeah, airborne car refractors on your bicycle. Yep, high altitude balloons. Doesn't have, if any of the radar cross-section metallic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it tells you the exact patent number. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:51 And that thing looks exactly like. Yeah. what they described. Yeah. The cube inside the sphere. And here's another thing I can say with great accuracy. I guarantee that these exist. You know, in other words, if you lived in a world where these didn't exist, say you
Starting point is 01:08:05 get a letter from God, these balloons don't exist for benign purposes, for calibration and sensor testing. If you said they're forbidden by every treaty on every country on earth like anthraxes, okay? Then you say, well, there's less probability, but there's probably still some left over. But now I tell you tell me, which I thank you for, these are common. These are probably in use by every military on earth to train their stuff. I saw this video of like Ukrainian drone pilots that are dropping like tank shells and they have they're so poor. Their military is saying, you know, I'm not going to take signs or whatever. But they still, they have, they have,
Starting point is 01:08:38 they have radar jamming and they have anti-dron channel jamming technology that spoofs makes a fake drone appear right. Right. Exactly. They have this with like no money. And so I guarantee, So we are both in agreement. It makes it look like a fleet is coming at you when there's nothing coming out of you. Nothing comes. You waste all your attention, right? These warheads have multiple targets in them. Right.
Starting point is 01:08:57 And if you were to test this in front of U.S. military training site, you want, and they just upgraded their radar, why wouldn't you want to be trying to test it? Where would you have this? That's a very good point. Yep. Appreciate that. So that's, I mean, that's sort of my belief as to what this thing is. I think it's some tech.
Starting point is 01:09:12 I mean, you know, I've read this book by Annie Jacobson called the Pentagon's brain. it's all about the history of DARPA, the defense advanced research. Oh, wow. And, I mean, they have been testing things like NeurRLink since the early 90s. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:09:27 On, like, putting shit in their heads that makes them immune to pain and all kinds of crazy stuff. They want to make a super soldier. They're, yeah, making new super soldier. And they're pushing the limits,
Starting point is 01:09:38 like they're going into the impossible literally like 30 years before the public hears about this kind of stuff. Think about all these other countries that have zero, like you think Vladimir Putin really isn't going to try like much more advanced shit that we would never do even with as despicably as we treated my stepfather was in the vietnam war and he's told me incredible stories in combat and out of the come they did horrible things to our soldiers and our soldiers are like you know some of our bravest people
Starting point is 01:10:04 two of my best friends are afghan they're both like permanently disabled marines army infantry and they were done for like just bullshit reasons they shouldn't have been in these wars right and um and so they took the best of america and they do fucking experiments on them They do this to this day. Right. But again, does that prove there, does that prove that there aren't aliens? No, of course not. You just have to be skeptical.
Starting point is 01:10:25 And again, always look at the story. There are people that, you know, people say, oh, Michael Shermer, he doesn't want to believe an alien. You know, he's got like, like, what is the incentive for him not to believe in it? He is, you know, for people that dislike him. And he's a friend of mine. I've written articles with him. I've debated him, you know, and we have friendly debates.
Starting point is 01:10:42 So the point is, you have to ask like, quibono, who benefits? Why would you do, why would you take this position? What is he covering up or Avi Loeb? I've seen, oh, he's covering up for the, Avi Loeb has an incentive for alien, and not only for his book deals and, you know, becoming number one bestseller again, you know, but also just for his scientific, you know, curiosity.
Starting point is 01:11:02 This is a guy who's, like, dedicated his life now in his career and his reputation towards like not only, you know, seeing the existence of other aliens as a plausible proposition, but that may be, as he claimed on my podcast this week, that alien, you know, something from another alien civilization, potentially, with materials that indicate it's come from outside of our solar system, crashed in Papua New Guinea,
Starting point is 01:11:26 and we can go and retrieve it and see if it's actually from metallurgical processes, not natural cosmic race, palation processes. Right. Now, like, getting back to this whole thing, when I start to see the New York Times and the Pentagon start to corroborate these stories and lockstep, that's when I really start to question it. And when it comes to these videos,
Starting point is 01:11:47 It was like that they released, right? The GoFast, the gimbal and what, I forget what the other one was. Who the, I was talking to Ryan. Who named those videos? Who came up with that name, Go Fast? Who came up with that name, Gimble? Because those, those piles. I know the pilots did not.
Starting point is 01:12:00 Yeah. So one of the, so there's a set. And again, talk to Ryan, talk to my friend, Ariel. But there's a set of military. So after a flight, every plane that flies for one hour has a scrutiny around it of about 10 hours just for the debrief. So when they come back, they land. the carrier or they land at the Air Force
Starting point is 01:12:18 and they debrief the flight every single minute because every minute costs about $8,000 in total investment for every single plane. Imagine how much money we have and then there's 10 hours of maintenance for every single plane that goes, so that's separate from that. They review all the gun cameras, they view all the sensor data,
Starting point is 01:12:35 they review everything, people pour over and there's some analysts who in the past, before we had drone operators, there were people that were officers that would be intelligence officers and they would review stuff and then like when they would review it, they'd listen to something, and they just name it. So a gimbal is just a camera on a platform, like a GoPro, or not a GoPro, but, you know, one of those stabilized things.
Starting point is 01:12:56 And the other one, go fast. I think one of the pilots says, well, look at that thing, it's fast or whatever, and then they just call it that. Then there are other ones that have been, you know, fairly like the Boca and those ones. I mean, this guy, Mick West. The triangles. Yeah, the triangles. A lot of those things are artifacts of cameras. So the question is, you know, can you explain all of these things?
Starting point is 01:13:15 And my colleague and actually mentor and president of the Simon's Foundation, David Spurgel, was the chairman of the NASA Committee on UAP research that announced its findings this past summer. And I think that they said some very large fraction was explainable by natural events. But there's always going to be that, you know, 12 to 30 percent that's not explainable. And the question is, at what level do you start to ascribe conspiracy, cover-ups versus the honest admission of a scientist? the three most important words that any scientist must be able to say. And if they can't, they're not a scientist. And that's, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:13:53 And that's, again, getting back to our friend Jack, he'll never say that. Never said, I was wrong. I don't know. I know. And you idiots aren't listening to me and you're a schmong. Yeah. And so good luck. You know, you're not going to really get too many takers there.
Starting point is 01:14:05 Yeah. And, you know, if the government's been lying to us about this or covering it up for 80 years, what makes you think that they're going to all of a sudden come out and want to tell the truth? Yeah. Or that they, that the cover. cover up that lasted for 80 years of durability once it does crack, there's not a flood, like that everything doesn't come out. I mean, the question of that.
Starting point is 01:14:24 Like they're not controlling it. Yeah, that they have such power to control for generations, like multiple generations. And by the way, it's not just like, you know, the guy who saw the spacecraft crash in Roswell. Okay, what do they do? Just think realistically, what would you have to do? Just, again, Roswell is my paradigm. I'm not saying I believe anything is legitimate about it being bodies and spacecraft. and whatever, you know, it could have some, it could not, right?
Starting point is 01:14:48 But some guy, some general knew about it, okay? Someone discovers, some farmer discovers it. Then they call the military base nearby. Then they send out a truck. Then there's four guys on the truck. Then they drop the truck, has a crane operator on the back. Then they drop that, they pick it up. They drive it to the warehouse.
Starting point is 01:15:06 Then they store it in the warehouse. And somebody has to guard the warehouse. The warehouse has to be climate controlled. And it has to be the, and then you have to do all those paperwork. work. And then take all those people that have already named 10 of them. Take all those people. They have 10 people in their lives, kids, brothers, sisters, wives, husbands, whatever. 100 people. Just in generation, zero, the first time that these people discover, right? 1947, correct? And then they have kids. And then those 10 generation, those 10 people have kids. A hundred people have kids. You know, it becomes enormous. And to say that all those people have not, you know, spilled the beans, if you like, I'm the biggest story in here. Human Khan's history, right? This is so much bigger than even the tragic assassination of JFK. That affected one person. Obviously, tragically, a huge country was affected by it, but it was one person, and that's so relatively easier to cover that. Even that hasn't been effectively covered
Starting point is 01:15:59 up for very long. With government mandating that you can't open up the official records for 50 years. So, yeah, it stretches the mind. Doesn't mean it's not true. what is it that Eric was harping on so hard on I don't know if it was on rogan's podcast or if it was with that guy jesse michael's but he was talking to how put off the ex-scientologist guy and also a remote viewer guy from sri and they were talking to him he was basically explaining how in the 50s i think it was ed witton's dad yeah they were like making a lot of progress on anti-gravity and then all of a sudden it went the research went dark like it stopped out of nowhere so is he it Was he alluding to like the government took it over or like it went dark, meaning like it went dark under like a special access program or something? Well, yeah. So it's not really clear. Eric has, you know, has an incredible ability to kind of explain things, to be curious, to illustrate things with amazing analogies and with a commanding knowledge of history and a commanding knowledge of mathematics and physics. So Jack said, oh, he's just a mathematician.
Starting point is 01:17:06 That's bullshit. He's much, much more than that. He's creative. but what he's not good at doing is like writing stuff up in a freaking book. So I'm like, Eric, you've got seven books in you. You know, help me help you write a book. You know, put these ideas into place because you can't just like every time you go on my podcast or on Jesse's or whatever, you know, have these statements or Rogans.
Starting point is 01:17:28 There's no durability to that. I actually told this to Rogan about motivating him to write a book because I was going to go back and listen. I was episode 2023. It was a cool number, easy to remember. I don't know what the hell episode, you know, the first time Eric was like, I thought no one's going to go back and watch Eric the first time he was on episode 1432. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:44 So if he wrote a book about it and wrote, you know, summarized the coolest topics in aliens and like psychedelics, Joe, no matter what, you're going to talk about psychedelics when you talk with Joe. But just like distill each one into a chapter. He doesn't even have to write it. Billions of people would write it for him for free. Anyway, Eric has to do the same thing. I'm trying to get him to do it. We'll see if that will actually work. But what he was saying about this gravity program, there was a, in North Carolina, UNC, I believe it,
Starting point is 01:18:10 was in a research triangle area. They, Ed Witten's father, who wasn't really, he was a physicist of some renown, but not as great a renown as son, who's a mathematical physicist, Edward.
Starting point is 01:18:24 But they had working on what's called the gravity prize, and they had money and incentives, and there was some papers apparently written about anti-gravity. And I was joking. I tried to find those papers. They're so good. I couldn't put those anti-gravity papers down.
Starting point is 01:18:39 Because they're anti-gravity. Any? Come on. I can't put it down. Come on, I'm going to bring the dad jokes, brother. You don't let me one dad joke on this beloved podcast. The best thing I've ever heard is the term Juneerzy. I really appreciate you saying that in Julian's podcast. I won't let that go. Got to get some two things.
Starting point is 01:18:58 So, yeah, allegedly, according to Eric, yeah, they had this. And now Eric has found some material that he claims like an Australian patent. And this is stuff that Grush had mentioned on Joe Rogan's podcast. And it does relate, and I think they did bring this up. But again, as I asked you earlier, and I think you answered properly in a certain sense, like, is the technology that's needed to do these things, you're really prejudiced if you say that, you know, that it's necessary to have new laws of physics that we don't understand. This is Eric's claim, actually. He actually believes that the only way to get off of the Earth's surface and make it to instantiate a second cosmic home is not with a chemical rocket of SpaceX. it's to change the laws of physics.
Starting point is 01:19:41 Is that changing the laws of physics, though, with some of the ideas of having some sort of, like Bob Lazar explained with his basketball reactor that was powered with Element 115, I think it was. And he says basically, like, you tried to touch it and it, like, repelled his hand off like an anti, like a magnet. And if you had something like that, and he showed like the diagrams of it
Starting point is 01:20:01 of how basically it creates this field around the aircraft to where it's, when it's moving like this, it's falling through space. Like, it's almost like, if you drop something, it's moving that way. All right. And these are his ideas or something he claims he's seen made or it could be in person. Because, I mean, he's not a great physicist.
Starting point is 01:20:18 He's not, I mean, the Lazar's not a physicist. I don't even think he is a physicist. Right. He claims he was, like, a pilot? But then there are all these questions that he was he really attended. Did he have all the credentials that he claims that he had? Did he see the things or have access to things that he has? But even people like Jeremy, Jeremy's an amateur physicist too.
Starting point is 01:20:32 I mean, he has a bachelor's degree in physics. And he's like studying all this stuff. And he says that it's not, doesn't defy the laws of physics. It's just creating, you have. you need the amount, you need a high, high, high amount of energy to do it. And it said it's impossible to. Right. Either a high amount, large amount of energy or a minuscule amount of energy in an infinite amount of space.
Starting point is 01:20:50 So we do know about anti-gravity. It's called dark energy or cosmological constant. It seems to be the force that's causing galaxies to accelerate at greater and greater velocities with every passing day, something that won the Nobel Prize for two, three of my friends in the year 2011. I've had them all on my podcast. and it's as well known a phenomenon as exists. But the problem is that at energy level differs from the so-called zero-point energy level by something like 120 orders of magnitude.
Starting point is 01:21:19 And the kind of characteristic energy scale that we know about that pushes galaxies apart or perhaps inflated the universe at early times, those things related to so-called zero-point fluctuations, Kazimir effects, cubiary warp drives. They're infinite, almost like you say, infinite, almost near-infident amount of energy. So it's not only manipulate, we have no way to, like, say, use the energy of the acceleration of space time. We can't do that. There's no way to couple into it. And we actually know extremely little about it.
Starting point is 01:21:49 So the question I always have is, okay, so now you've got this theory of this anti-graf, which no one has demonstrated except for the cosmos at large, which is, you know, again, resulted in at least three Nobel Prizes so far, that nobody else knows about this? that like what would be the incentive to not expose this to get credit to win a Nobel Prize to make millions and billions of dollars? Why would this not be more? Why is Bob Lazars like not a scientist, not military train? You know, I mean, what what is the incentive to believe that such a person other than you want to believe it? It sounds really plausible. It sounds cool. It could explain things that you have no access to. And so tying together like a whole bunch of things that are each incredibly improbable, the U.S. government has a conspiracy. These craft have traveled great distances. There are new laws of physics that they operate by. It doesn't make it more credible. It makes it much, much less credible. If you add, if you add, if you add, if you add, if you like, you multiply it. Like, you have a 10%
Starting point is 01:22:49 chance of it raining. My flight's 10% chance of leaving on time if the rain is, you know, here. And then there's a 1% chance that the Uber driver will be on time to get me here, which hopefully will be coming soon. Not that I don't enjoy talking to you. It's just I enjoy putting my kids to bed. Jesus Christ, it's already 2.30. I know all time flies. You're having fun.
Starting point is 01:23:07 But putting these things together makes it less likely, not more likely. And that's the thing that kind of just goes, you know, and gnaws at me when these things like, okay, to explain that, now you need a really impossible thing, which is the laws of physics have to be unknown to us, new laws that these things can manipulate, which, again, would be fascinating to me. But let me just double click on that for one second. It's often said that, like, the laws of physics lead to these new types of technology. At least that's kind of the syllogism that people are using, right?
Starting point is 01:23:35 These aliens, if they had the laws of physics that permitted anti-gravity, right, that you could extract some technology from it. That technology, in turn, would be used to get to the Earth from Proximus and Turi. That's sort of an argument that would be used, right? It's a way to explain how they're here, right? Because our current laws with chemical rockets and biological aging processes of DNA, right, do not permit us to get to any solar system, right? And so just using the, and that's the only life form we know exists.
Starting point is 01:24:02 And that's the only physics we know exist, right? The known laws of physics, by definition. So in order to get, so, but I ask you, did we use to get, let's say, the most advanced thing that humans have ever built in terms of laws of physics? Let's just say it was the Trinity bomb, you know, it was the atomic bombs that were used to, right? Did the scientists that were working, you saw Oppenheimer, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:25 So I did an explainer video just as a small advertisement because people were interested in the physics. There's almost no physics in that movie, right? Right. But so I did a video called the physics of Oppenheimer, or professor explains the bomb. So if people are interested in the hardcore physics and the history of it, they can find that. It's on your YouTube show?
Starting point is 01:24:42 It's on my YouTube channel. So, but did they look at the laws of physics? Like, was Oppenheimer, was he a physicist in the sense that, like, he looked at the new laws of physics, and then from those laws of physics came up with technology? Or was he mostly an engineer? Like, has been, remember the big process he put in the marble? and plutonium versus uranium.
Starting point is 01:25:04 It was a technology trouble. It was a technology problem. We had to create the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Hanford Nuclear Sites. We had to do things to produce a yielding, like what Iran is doing now. Iran is reputedly building a bomb, right? Are they using the laws of physics?
Starting point is 01:25:19 Are they going back to quantum mechanics and solving the Schrodinger equation? No, it's a technology problem, right? My point is it's not enough to say that like the laws of physics have to be, you know, manipulated. You also need a way of improving the laws of technology to extract those laws. It's often said, well, your computer screen, the internet in here, the camera sensors, those are based on semiconductors. And it's true. Semiconductors are based the laws of quantum mechanics.
Starting point is 01:25:46 The very first transistor, nobody looked at the laws of Schrodinger, which is really what governs a transistor equation and more advanced statistical mechanics. But nothing like group theory or string theory was needed, right? But even they didn't use the laws of physics to invent technology, which was the previous most advanced technology maybe. Or actually, it came after the nuclear bomb, right? So all this is just to say that having new laws of physics, I don't think it's even a necessary condition for aliens to be here or have new technology. It's certainly not a sufficient, you know, if you just had new laws of physics. And like I said earlier, if I told you string theory had been invented on Proxima Centauri B, you know, would it matter to you?
Starting point is 01:26:35 Let me ask you this question. Let's say aliens invent metallurgy and chemical rockets, okay, that for some reason can advance them, you know, to very high velocities or their biology allows them to live for trillions of years, right? If I said they invented that, would you say, well, they still have to invent string theory or they still have to invent, you know, warp theory or whatever Jack has or, you know, not. other words, what was more important? The technology or the pure science? The applied science or the pure science for teleporting across the applied science? Exactly. So these things about the anti-gravity conference of Edwitton's father in 1930, you know, so are these questions of, you know, relevance to the discovery of evidence for aliens being here on Earth? I don't know. I don't know that it's so important. Let's say they were doing anti-gravity research, whatever that way. We certainly
Starting point is 01:27:27 don't have any anti-gravity technology right now. Can you point? Yeah, Flubber. I mean, I mean, what Fraver said that he saw, right? That sounds like anti-gravity. So I don't know anything about this. So Fraver, the pilot who witnessed with his eyes a TikTok, also has knowledge about, you sure it's Fraver and not Grush?
Starting point is 01:27:45 I thought Fraver was the one who saw the TikTok. Yeah. Yeah. So he also claims that he saw, that he has sought separate evidence, or you're saying the existence of a TikTok moving the way it did. Moving the way it did, that would be anti-gravity, right? If it bent bending space up. So if there was something in there,
Starting point is 01:27:58 it would turn to gelatin if it was not anti-gravity, right? If it could create a pocket where it just moves around and nothing is affected. Again, so this is, again, synthesizing a whole bunch of claims that may or may not be related. So that he saw it, that it was witnessed by other sensors,
Starting point is 01:28:15 that the sensors weren't spoofed. Because there are many ways to move. I can make something move, you know, faster than the speed of light, you just give me a laser pointer, right? I mean, I can do it. I can have a signal that, you know, that changes faster that doesn't transmit information.
Starting point is 01:28:29 That's just a visibility, right? And who's to say that there's something inside there at all, right? And by the way, you know, again, let's say these creatures are incredibly advanced. Do you think the first things that we sent to will we know for sure? They're definitely not their drone. They're 3D printed things. They're not human. They're not biological.
Starting point is 01:28:48 And the only thing that's biological in them are the fingerprints and the exhalation. I had Craig Ventnor on, Ventnoron, who is the man who sequenced the human genome for the first time and 25 years ago. And he was saying there's already Mars is covered in human shit. Because there's just like no way in this international space station. And all that when they, when they use the bathroom, they vent it to space and they found the outside of the space station is covered with the human microbiome. And then he studies. So it's like already we've contaminated it. Now, my question is, I like to do this as a thought experiment. What if I told you that there was life on another planetary system?
Starting point is 01:29:26 It's a multi-planetary system like ours is. Okay, so it's a star system. It has a type G2 sub-dwarf, yellow star, just like our sun, same size. And it has two planets in the habitable zone. You're familiar with the habitable zone, right? The Goldilocks zone. Exactly. I told you there's two planets there.
Starting point is 01:29:42 And good news. One is teeming with life. Life everywhere, life in underwater oceans, ice caps. Even in the atmosphere, there's life and so forth of this planet. There's another planet. We haven't had time to slew the James Webb Telescope over to, to take a peek. But we want to ask you, Danny, what's the odd, one of the odds that that object has life on it? The one right next door.
Starting point is 01:30:06 Yeah. Not technology, not the iPhone. I would say there's got to be, there's got to be a high likelihood of everything life on there. Right. So I submit to you, this is another gift for you. This is a chunk of the moon. The moon? I gave Joe Rogan a piece of Mars.
Starting point is 01:30:22 I gave Julian just a crappy meteor. Right. I get a part of the moon. You get a sliver of the moon just because I forgot. Sorry, Julia. Thank you very much. Right. Next time I see you, brother, I'm going to do it. But Julian, you know that Danny let you have the first dibs on me. That was so beneficial. He got such a bump. I let Julian scoop me. That's right. He let you get the scoop. So I had to give him a little bit better Hanukkah Christmas present. Okay. So how did that get here? Besides me bring in here, how do you think this thing is here? The moon? Yeah. How do you think that piece of the moon got here? Pansepermia? Right. So most people say, oh, you went to, you went to Houston. and if you do that so if this were collected by an astronaut I would be in jail now and you would be an accessory
Starting point is 01:31:00 to murder and Stephen up back behind the curtain would also go to jail so you'd be accessory to felony right it's a felony to have own possession of a fragment of the rocks that were collected by the Apollo astronauts but NASA and the US government doesn't control gravity so where was this found
Starting point is 01:31:16 this is found in northwest Africa I'll send you a piece I'll send you some information and how do you know it's part of the moon so it's the exact chemical composition has been acquired for it. And this is what I want to do. It's been compared. Yeah. And so for your audience, I like to do a giveaway for your audience too. If you've made it this far, so go to Brian Keating.com.
Starting point is 01:31:33 On my website, there's a giveaway, a giveaway, one chunk, sometimes of these moon rocks, but always every month I give away an actual meteorite. And of the meteorite, we had it chemically analyzed with x-ray fluorescent spectroscopy. It's blasted with x-rays. And you'll get a printout of the chemical fingerprint of these meteorites. Oh, wow. And if you have a .edu email
Starting point is 01:31:52 address, so if you're in college or grad school, or a professor or whatever, go to Brian Keating.com slash edu and you're guaranteed to it. So ordinary people that aren't in university. I'm trying to kind of give back to the university system. So Brian Keating.com. Other ones go there. And I'll send you the information about that. And I can send you information about the moon rock that I sent, I gave to Danny.
Starting point is 01:32:14 I can't give you any information about Uranus, though. That's a private matter. So that got here by gravity, right? So impacts hit the moon all the time. They impacted Mars. so I gave Joe Rogan. I gave him a piece of Mars. I have a chance of Martian meteor.
Starting point is 01:32:27 Right, yeah. I think he probably smoked it or something by now. Yeah. But the Mars meteor, Mars, the Earth, the Moon, they all exchanged material for billions of years now. So the fact that Mars is a cold dead place, as far as we can tell, doesn't mean it was always cold and dead and lifeless,
Starting point is 01:32:43 but it is in the habitable zone. Water can be in liquid form there. There's ice underneath. They actually think there's ice underneath the surface of Mars. Avi Loeb thinks there are caves with lots. lava tubes that could have, you know, he's like there could be aliens in there. So all these things point to a very important conclusion, which is that the exchange of material throughout the solar system is ubiquitous.
Starting point is 01:33:04 The lack of life should be used as some piece of evidence, not proof, but accounting for in the likelihood ratio test that I told you about earlier, you should be able to ascribe some probability to the lack of existence of life and its facundity throughout the universe based on the non-observation. and the only planet that we know could have had life in our solar system for sure. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:27 So anyway, these things are great. They're fun to talk about. I think it's always, you know, people get almost emotional and a religious capacity. They definitely do. People believe it, you know, and the core fiber of who they are
Starting point is 01:33:42 is their identity. It's very hard to change someone's identity. If you've ever had a Jehovah's Witness come to your house, right? Or I pass an LDS church on the way over here, right? And like, okay, I'm pretty thankful, you know, isn't where I'm at right now. I don't need it.
Starting point is 01:33:54 But if you say to them, you know, like, tell me about aliens, I guess some, you know, Scientologist, maybe we shouldn't talk too much about it's around here, right? Isn't Clearwater not too far from me? We are literally 10 minutes away from the headquarters of Scientology where Elron Hubbard parked his pirate ship. This is spaceship, right? Yeah. Chitulu or whatever they call them, right? Yeah, no, it is very religious.
Starting point is 01:34:15 And even, like, I was talking, you and Steve were talking about earlier. like even people that are in like positions of authority in government or even in NASA or or NRO or some of these agencies a lot of them because of their position or their where they are in the hierarchy and their the what they know like the information that they have that's classified that no one else has right they sort of that is meaning in itself and if you are one of these people that I mean a lot of these really smart people are anti-social yeah and introvert, anti-j, very high IQ, antisocial introverts, and they know things that many people don't know.
Starting point is 01:34:57 You know, you wake up, no matter what, even if you're a plumber, you got to prescribe some sort of a meaning to what you do to get up out of bed every day.
Starting point is 01:35:05 And some of these people at a very high level, they think, I've said it many times quoting my friend Paul Rosalie is they think their lives are the Da Vinci Code. That's right, yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:15 And when you start to talk about aliens, and NASA and the moon being built by aliens and we only know what these things are, but you guys don't. It doesn't progress science or it doesn't progress humanity any sort of real sense.
Starting point is 01:35:31 Yeah, right? It's threatening to them. When you try to take away or even question about their identity, it's very threatening to it. And it's natural, right? I mean, you know, by the way, if you want to know how to tell
Starting point is 01:35:41 when you do meet a scientist who's extroverted, do you know how to do that? How? He'll talk to you and he'll look get your shoes when he talks to you. Oh. Then you know, 100% it is extra rude.
Starting point is 01:35:53 That's amazing. Or she. Right. Discriminate. Right. Well, I think your Uber's here. Brian, Thank you so much for a quick hour and house podcast.
Starting point is 01:36:01 All the way from San Diego. I'll come back. I'm back in town and see my friend Jordan. I got these stickers for you. Oh, we got stickers. Yeah. QR code stickers. You're watching out there.
Starting point is 01:36:10 Get that. Yeah. Snap this picture. You go right to the website. Tell everyone where to subscribe. I'll link your YouTube channel and everything below. Yeah. go to my YouTube channel.
Starting point is 01:36:17 I got a couple books out and got a chat bot. I'm having a lot of fun with AI and trying to figure out how to improve education. I want to bring the cost of education down 10X and spread it to the masses. Because I do think, you know, the one way we're going to save the world is to have more science, technology, and engineering and math. I don't think we're going to do it, you know, as great as, you know, gender studies is. Yeah. As necessary as it is, I don't think we're going to get, you know, to a place of protection. And it may be, who knows, these aliens underneath the ocean.
Starting point is 01:36:47 right and maybe that musk is wrong that we well it may be that he's right we have to get off the surface of the planet but maybe we have to do something to protect the planet that we're already on i mean it's a lot cheaper to save the planet you're on now than to try to find another planet somewhere else that you might be able to get to and die on the way perhaps right i mean it's just to save ourselves from another chick chichilube chichsillub yeah that's right chixelub yeah another or a younger driest impact like we want to make our our species survive so we got to get ourselves off the planet and figure out how to terraform Mars, we can live past all this.
Starting point is 01:37:21 And then when the next... When the next round of civilization rises on Earth, we'll come back in our spaceships and we'll confuse the shit out of them. Awesome.
