      4:56 - "Completely ignorant of the physical world"? That describes the last two generations of architects (and other domains / professions), hinting this is not confined to physics. // Eric seems confused, though, by a future where having [magnanimous billionaires and benign, handholding AI] is consistent with 'too many people' serving as a plague upon the Earth, when surely all scarcity even in a 2023 (except following natural disasters and in islands in the middle of nowhere) without those things, is contrived. // Eric is also unwilling or unable to recognize that the current U.S. administration is courting WW3 almost avidly---it hardly takes a "despot" as he means it.

      Eric is one of those physicists that accuse other physicists of not being in contact with the real world while doing the same as them. The truth is Eric's theories also do not have anything in common with real physics. Every good theory have to be experimentally confirmed and falsifiable. Physicists these days are elitists that invent their own particles, that they never detected, multiple universes that they could never observe and string theories that cannot be proven. Purpose of modern physics is to create a theory that cannot be disproven.
      The latest example of this bullsh*t science is dark matter stars. In order to explain JWST data physicists think dark matter stars can explain early universe. Since science still don't know what dark matter is, dark matter stars are perfect example how these people try to explain the unexplainable with even more unexplainable dark matter.
      Physicists remind me on Idiocracy where people claim Brawndo is what plants crave, because Brawndo has electrolytes. Everyone think that Brawndo is what plants crave without any skepticism or common sense, because this is the scientific dogma in Idiocracy.

    I'll never forget the moment in a genetics class when I really grasped the enormity of what I was learning. The ability to write in the language of life itself. The challenge in genetics isn't getting things to do what you want them to do. The challenge is reigning them in, limiting their effectiveness, making sure they only target the cells or systems you want them to target. Sometimes I feel like the field of genetics is a day-care where all the toddlers have butcher knives. The question isn't 'Can we cut something?' it's 'How do we prevent everyone from bleeding to death?'. Knowing that I had been given all the tools and knowledge I needed to be an absolute cartoon villain level of evil if I wanted with the only thing stopping me being my own morals and fear was humbling. Knowing that that same level of knowledge is available to just about anyone with no vetting process was horrifying. If I want to learn to build a bomb that can level a city, there are all kinds of hurdles I have to clear to get that sort of education, never mind getting my hands on the tools and materials to actually make it. But if I want to create an aggressively contagious form of airborne virus that massively increases the rate of cancer in somatic cell lines? All I need a moderately stocked school lab and a couple masters degree level classes. No one stops to ask if you should be taught how to do that.

      So is this somehow an anti-education comment? What's the purpose? It doesn't add anything to the conversation in my opinion. Just as freshman- and sophomore-level chemistry students learn the chemical reaction pathways necessary to synthesize amphetamines, I'm sure the same applies to any sensitive knowledge. That's why we have laws/policies against letting in, say, international students from certain countries that the U.S. generally doesn't trust, to higher education programs

    He said that he once talked to a doctor of physics or a PhD student and asked him if it was true, if reality was really an entangled bubble of quantum strings, and if this theory contributed anything useful.
    The physicist in question sighed heavily and said that this model has a LOT of problems, but NOBODY will propose anything new or challenge mainstream science until the people who have been working on it since the 1970s have made careers out of it and are now chancellors at universities, sit on all these science committees or work as government science advisors, all die out.

Because research money is limited, that means that there is a struggle to acquire some share of that money, and the bigger the share, the better. If you follow Retraction Watch as an example, you can see how very frequently, salesmanship triumphs over reseasonable research proposals.

He found that, other than the case of 3 time dimensions and 1 space dimension, all other cases would be unstable.

      Some rare people are not influenced by the desire to conform to other persons agendas or claims, they do not believe that might or fame or wealth or the majority makes right.

    Eric is a fascinating guest. I agree that the physics of the 1920’s and 30’s which revolutionized the world into this technological era has been used and abused by those who inherited it.
    My grandfather was a Manhattan project physicist. He was the research assistant to Dr E Newton Harvey of Princeton who collaborated with Alfred Loomis on various experiments at his Tuxedo Park private laboratory. Alfred Loomis was the money behind the research as a Wall Street banker with Yale credentials and a Harvard Law degree. His cousin, Henry Stimson was Secretary of war during WW 1&2. It’s when I realized Stimson was Skull and Bones and Loomis was the 10th wealthiest person in the country that a light bulb lit up. Albert Einstein was a regular guest there and lived in the same private guarded neighborhood.
    Fellow Bonesman Prescott Bush was funding Hitler through UBS bank while Loomis and Stimson were funding the Atomic Bomb and Ernest Lawrence’s nuclear fission research at Berkeley.
    All that died when Loomis died in 1975. Now his great grandson Reed Hastings is CEO of Netflix producing propaganda pieces degrading American culture and keeping people entertained with bullshit.
    The CERN super collider which is just a giant cyclotron like the one Lawrence used to discover nuclear fission winning the 1939 nobel prize. What are they doing with that? Opening portals to let in outer dimensional beings?
    Gravity is density, Space is near 0* Kelvin and uninhabitable, planets can’t be lived on in human bodies only spirit bodies. We never went to the moon as NASA in not a space agency but a vacuum for trillions of dollars to go into the pockets of the Military industrial complex owners.
    Materialism has replaced science as globalization has become the American way. Corporate types want to enslave the common people in a digital fortress with less freedoms and freewill. Debt slaves to the slave masters.
    So yes, we’ve lost our way and it starts at the top. Who do Skull and Bones recognize as the supreme being. Marduk/Satan. They keep us away from knowledge about our true Creatrix and tell us Atlantis was a myth.

The earth can't be stabilized, so the priority is to do the plot from the movie Interstellar in real life, and invent some kind of anti-gravity or wormhole tech or something that lets us cross lightyears and maybe find a plot, and THEN we have to erect an entire biosphere and civilization and infrastructure on this new place lightyears away using magic physics that might not even exist.
      And he thinks Musk has issues? This is the st00pidest take I've seen in a long time. Any civilization that had the technological wealth and resources to reconstruct a new living biosphere lightyears away would have the resources to do it on Mars or the Asteroid belt, or on giant generational ships far cheaper and for more tractable.
      This guy is fraud, he's not even a Physicist, he's Peter Thiel's fund manager. He's never put in the effort to even finish a detailed scientific paper on Geometry Unity, he's got a half baked vague sketch of an ideal, that fell down as soon as a few people finally reviewed it, and then claimed "I'm not a physicist, I'm an entertainer"

Huge credit to this channel for being brave enough to air such views to a general audience. One of my major concerns is the state of Universities, which are now essentially cash-flow generating factories handing out gold stars for very mediocre achievements, which naturally stifles any form of excellence or radical thinking, so nobody feels that they have been left behind, despite their academic horsepower or lack thereof.

    Can't remember the specific Outer Limits episode, but it involved some school/college kid inventing a device that could obliterate a large population center. The thing about it was that his idea could be fashioned using readily available technology. The story revolves around the authorities trying to stop the idea from getting out there and ultimately they kill him. The issue is, as the character posits, the idea is so 'obvious' that once the precursors are there, if it wasn't him it would be someone else and the world is doomed. The story ends with other people around the world having what we presume is the same 'ah-ha' moment. We are approaching the time when people with the right knowledge can destroy major parts of the world without significant resources.

    Eric’s analogy was very helpful in understanding the problem we face. The scientific community has been wasting their time with non scientifically provable or meaningful work. For instance, on the biological side of the fence, brilliant Origin of life researchers have been spending their time trying to simulate how life could have possibly begun on the earth. We are soooo far away from answering this question and even if we did figure it out, what does that give us. Science is intended to answer questions related to cause and effect and the search for the best explanation for natural phenomena. If they focused on figuring out how things work versus pie in the sky questions around origins, their brilliant minds could have spent time on practical uses. I think what Eric is alluding to is a similar situation in physics, where they have been spinning their wheels trying to propose a theory of everything, when they should be going back to see if any of their presumptions are wrong and get back to doing real physics as Eric said.

      @@zigzagkillah7666 I'm not sure I understand your point correctly, but I'm curious about what you mean.
      From my point as an unbeliever, to the extend that religious claims _can_ be falsifiable, they have been falsified. The claims about gods existing is generally as unfalsifiable as the claim that there's a teapot in orbit around Mars. We both know that claim is rather ludicrous, but it can't be proven false nonetheless. No "amarsianteapotist" can disprove (aka, falsify) it.
      Falsifiable claims, like prayer or NDEs have been falsified. Prayer has been proven to have the same rate of success as pure chance, no NDE has ever been able to, for example, have someone be able to read a note placed on their body that's only visible from an out-of-body experience.
      What skeptics are left with are debunking fallacious arguments. Demonstrating how, for example (just because it's my favorite for how easy it is to debunk), the Kalam Cosmological Argument doesn't work.
      I think you're drawing a false dichotomy, though. Most people on the opposing side to "trying to prove religion" aren't "trying to disprove it."
      We're just here, challenging the ones making the claims to demonstrate their validity.
      Of course I'm aware that there are also those who make the counterclaim that god or gods do, in fact, not exist. But that claim is just as unfalsifiable (and therefore: dumb to make) as that of god or gods existing.
      So what I'm left wondering is: You say _""So let me do the extra credit problems, who cares about the actual test" mentality is taking place ...."_
      What would you consider to be the "actual test" if you believe that what is done is just "doing the extra credit problems"?

    In order to overcome those laws, you need millions of dollars (at least) to comply with and successfully obtain the necessary permits, if they're available at all.
    I'd love to see what happens when i sandwich a dielectric between two conductors and pulse the low amperage, high - voltage electricity

    It is easier to start a colony in Antarctica or the middle of the Sahara desert than on mars.
