*Is time travel possible?*

This is me explaining to my wife why I came home at 3am when I said I was only going out for 1 beer.

I have never seen a person better at convincing himself that what he says is simple and understandanble.

There's always that one guy that you regret asking how his weekend was.

I have never wanted to understand a conversation more.

Joe has mastered the art of looking like he is understanding anything his guest is saying. We all know he just wants to say “….so are aliens real?”.

Lost me 20 seconds in but i watched all the way through homies

@3:13 “do I even know what I mean, not really “ 🤣

Next time I'm late for work I'm just gonna tell them that they're time clock has shrunk .

This is what makes Joe Rogans show so important. Who else even attempts to bring these types of guests to a mass audience? I have learned so much by listening to his guests and would never have known about any of this otherwise. I don't understand most of it, but I get enough to know how important it is to bring these theories to the masses

The fact Joe brings equally fascinating and engaging guests to his show and genuinely shows interest in what they have to say is helping many people open themselves to these provoking topics. I otherwise probably wouldn’t think to search out this material. This really is the beauty of the internet social media. I feel more interested in the world and our reality every time I watch one of these shows. Joe deserves some kind of award for this.

The parallel of cassettes/turntable is a great example. We need to use abstraction for this topics, otherwise things become complicated very quickly. I believe that past, present and future coexist in the same moment. It all depends on where's the observer, and what's being observed. Unfortunately I'm not able to verify this mathematically, but only spit theories.

I love Bob Lazar’s explanation. We think of travel using propulsion. Propulsion is a measure of thrust and distance traveled in a certain amount of time because of gravity fighting back against us. If gravity is defeated, propulsion is not needed. Speed no longer exists. It’s all about defeating gravity.

Best quote ever " do i know what i mean not really im on the edge of where i can actually say things" - Eric Weinstein

“I’m sort of at the edge of where I can say things” I like this guys grasp on his own imagination

These conversations always blow my mind. I don't understand 95% of them, but just thinking of time travel has always interested me since Back to the Future.

We need a quantum theory to go along with general relativity. I do like the idea that time isn’t a cassette tape but rather a vinyl record. It implies that the booystrap paradox doesn’t have to be a problem

if i could time travel i would go back to the 70's it's a time when i had real friends and good times every body was care free it was the best time of my life thanks for you show

I didn't understand a single thing this guy said but for some reason i still enjoyed it lol

“The entire planet is pulling on you when you want to go and pee.” I had no idea my peeing was so important…

The Three Body Problem series is something i’d very much love to hear Eric’s opinion on in regards to this topic

Oddly enough, I understood his last point. I’m a simpleton and analyst, but using MicroStrategy they have “Attributes” and “Metrics.” For business objects, attributes describe things like names, places, things, etc. Metrics describes measurable things like sales, costs, time, debt. Eric’s kind of describing that in a much more sophisticated way. We don’t have access to the “metrics” like an multidimensional engineer might. We only see the “attributes” around us.

0:03 I'm already lost :(

The end got me thinking about what Terence Howards theory is all about.

This is me explaining War Hammer 40K lore to my wife.

Man this guy reminded me of when I was a kid and would listen to Spanish conversations that sounded so cool but didn’t know a word of what they were saying lol

"Do I even know what I mean?" I love it. I'm using it.

If it were true, then CERN had begun to destroy that fabric of space and time.

Extraterrestrials travel like we travel when we dream. When you dream, you think of where you want to go and then you are there. Every place has a frequence. So, extraterrestrials in their crafts imagine where they want to go and that frequency then matches the craft to the location. It takes them no time to get here. They don't travel. They shift frequencies.

good show, he was able to touch on some super difficult concepts to grasp in a way that helped me somehow. Gravity, time and space are really hard to understand now that we know so much and, consequently, realize how much more there is that we don't know.

I'm wearing headphones and wasn't looking at the screen for a second... that 6+4 sound effect scared the shit out of me

The measurement of time is an accident of our nervous system. Other creatures do not seem to recognize it. Leave your dog for 5 minutes, he would greet you like you had been gone forever.

When i shifted my perspective to 5D I started viewing time as non-linear . Started getting insight on future events and I re-examined history .

Eric has an incredible ability to sound like he's speaking simply while actually weaving a complex explanation that, lets be honest, most of us only understood 5% of.

I appreciate Joe for being such an asset. As stated by many, he brings us opportunities to explore. (And I’m not talking about the mushrooms.)

Gravity wins most mornings when I’m trying to get out of bed, but then I don’t

I understood everything that was said here completely and it all made sense. My mind was blown on a lot of the information. My problem is now that the episode is over I can't remember anything that was said.

The sudden sharp shift from Weinstien’s physics dense explanation of temporal dimension to Joe trying to add to the conversation is so accidentally comedic, I can’t help but laugh.

I like his calm yet concise way of making me realize I’m dumb…

If you record each song on the two sides of the tape in opposite order you can listen it all over without rewinding.

Physics always ultimately leads to philosophy. The above question might be stimulated if a physicist were to look at it in the context of Plato’s Cave…then go backwards to get to the math. In a micro application, memories don’t travel through the past, unless consciously directed to do so, which would be an impossible amount of information. Instead, they are bridged between the conscious present and subconscious past by a gatekeeper, guarding the two dimensions of the mind. (That we know of). Who is the gatekeeper in the mind? Who is the gatekeeper in the various dimensions of existence in Plato’s Cave? In physics who is the gatekeeper that would enable time travel?

I have no idea what he said.

Never heard him this direct and concise. He’d describe waking up as a “definitive conclusion of soporific activity vis a vis termination of subconscious processes,” yet he was very clear here. Great segment.

Me and a friend watched three at close range ( 150 yards) and in daylight, hover over our small pasture. Lasted 20 minutes. Never once thought of my phone. Privileged to have seen such a rare thing is what we think, nobody will believe us is what we know.

He says we need to look at successive theories, but no one has provided one yet that disproves the standard model. It's not that scientists are afraid to deviate from the standard model--it's just that no one has come up with anything better that can stand up to rigorous testing.

Everyone is so caught up in the math. How about the ability to use the English language to the extent that you can actually explain these issues with someone that is not a physicist AND they understand and comprehend what you are saying! Kudos to Joe for bringing Eric Weinstein on, thank you.

He stated " What I believe is" proof that even the most modern scientific theories require an element of faith to believe

Agreed, Interstellar and Intergalactic travel are not achieved using the Standard Model/General Relativity. The cat in the box, or the double slit experiment -> Two people look simultaneously, which one resolves the quantum state first? Does the double-slit effect resume until the next observer looks? I understand the pragmatism of the scientific community now.

I especially loved the loud sip from his cup of tea 😅

Eric Weinstein is one of the most exciting thinkers alive today. He is pushing the boundaries of new ideas, with a very solid grounding in math and physics. What fun it would be to have him and Ed Witten in a room together!!

We, humanbeings, are able to interact within our dimensional space because we were constructed inside this environment. It would not be difficult to assume that other beings, very different from us, composed of extradimentional material, would be able to do amazing things simply due to the environment in which they were constructed. Perhaps able to connect and manipulate time in their enviroment as we would skipping rocks across a pond. It may be a life giving function like breathing oxygen is to humans.

My theory to accommodate the 5000g‐force accelerations, is UAP have a time engine that apparently accelerates them to speeds impossible otherwise.

5:13 bret just grabbin shit off joes desk and using as a prop is just ticklin me pink lmao

For Eric's age, he has the spirit of youth. I respect that.

In the 80s, there was a relatively unknown scientist, who no one would listen to, named Dr. Emmett Brown who actually constructed a device that would open up a line in the space-time continuum. He only used it a small handful of times and no one has seen or heard from him since 1990, but his lab assistant is still around. Sadly, the use of this device (called the flux capacitor), really took a toll on this assistant and he physically struggles with day-to-day tasks.

"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was to convince the world he didn't exist."

There was a young man called Bright, who could travel faster than light. He set off one day, in a relative way, and returned the previous night!

I think it was pretty eye opening when EW said [in part in another related segment with Joe] when he asked, "So why doesn't our government ask the very best physicists we have to study the phenomena? " There is very little revenue spent on truly finding an answer to this by our best minds. He states this by identifying his peers, and that community in general as being completely ignored when we should have financed them to study these questions esp now! Smart fella though, you really need to pay close attention to what he is trying to tell us. I bet he'd be fun to party with lol!

4:21 blew my mind! I litterally got goosebumps. I watched a ton of theoretical physics lectures and whathaveyou but never heard of this idea. Trully mesmerizing to think of gravity this way.

I could listen to Eric talk all day long he just has that ability to be really intelligent but also to break it down into something basic thats easy to follow. The guy is just super intelligent and well spoken.

I was sent this video because one of my friends said it would blow my mind. My mind is now liquified because I understand the words that are coming out of his mouth, but none of it is in any order I can understand

This stuff is super exciting. Insiders hinting at potential answers and our brightest minds trying to decipher those hints.

"Gravity is weak" Black hole- "Am I a joke to you?"

I’ll let you in on a secret. The easiest way to time. Travel is the fly close enough to a blackhole that you disappear from the outside world, but from the inside moments will go by and you come out the other side almost in the same place just an extended time later.

The main take away is "if you follow Einstein's equation we literally defeat gravity everyday given our mass in ratio to the earth and if you take that into account of what the Earth's mass will be incomperison to the vastness of space, the earth will barely make a dant in creating a meaningful amount of gravity with its mass in ratio to the vastness of space, which means, a device capable of creating a warmhole (warmhole: creating a significant warp of the space and time around an object/body through gravity according to Einstein's theory |||| Gravity: in basic terms its created or greatly influenced by the mass of an object) will be incredibly ridiculous and extremely chaotic as it will require an unprecedented amount of energy to create a stupendously ridiculous artificial mass to create an unimaginable amount of gravity in order to warp space and time. What Eric is saying is, that's one way of looking at the possibility. What if it can be done by having access to multiple Temporal dimensions where time is none linear (linear here means time can be observed from multiple directions or its entirety). Edit: I'm not a physicist but I love it.

I feel like everything is just all a big play and im the main character But everyone else a character in my movie but at that same time everyone in my life is not only a character but also the main character in their life. We are all connected yet individual on our journey throught this time of existence until we move to the next. We are amazing 👏 ❤️

I agree with the point he was making in that Earth itself barely bends Space/Time in any measureable quantity. So how could some little spaceship bend it enough to travel within its own Anti-Gravity bubble projected in front of it. A. The energy required to do so would be so enormous it could not be harnessed within a spaceship to even travel with.

This should be entered into the Websters dictionary as the true definition of Word Salad.

THIS is more clear: A temporal dimension, or time dimension, is a dimension of time. Time is often referred to as the "fourth dimension" for this reason, but that is not to imply that it is a spatial dimension. A temporal dimension is one way to measure physical change. It is perceived differently from the three spatial dimensions in that there is only one of it, and that we cannot move freely in time but subjectively move in one direction.

I love the analogies... but when he referenced Pink Floyd he was instantly relatable. I am not sure if I like him or hate him.

Sad thing is, Aliens won't see our City lights for 4000 years.

I think if i ever did 'shrooms with Eric my trip would include crying for 2 hours.

Time manifests as a profoundly subjective construct, intrinsically intertwined with the individual human experience, rather than an absolute, universally applicable phenomenon. Its analogy to the behavior of heat reveals a fascinating parallel: just as heat varies in its dispersion according to environmental conditions, so too does time elapse subject to one's spatial context. It is paramount to distinguish time from the tangible instruments of its measurement, such as clocks and watches, which function as mere apparatuses for quantifying the recurring patterns inherent in our existence. Time, in its quintessence, transcends these instruments; it embodies the essence of cyclical phenomena itself. Within this intricate temporal tapestry, each individual weaves their own unique narrative, leading to the phenomenon of time's relative pace, a phenomenon wherein its flow is perceptibly altered by geographical location and the ebbs and flows of the spatial dimension.

Try to imagine someone or something who has no arrow of time, and yet still somehow can't see themselves crashing in their ship.

I totally got the picture in what was being explained. Absolutely amazing

a vinyl record does "rewind" like a cassette, you just don't hear the reversal. It is skipping over the same path but not touching.

Without having responses to emotions, to day and night, to the seasons, to birth, aging and death, will AI keep to the same tempo as humanity or will it find its own dimension of time?

Joe came back to the studio the next day and Eric was still talking

Next up: How does Santa deliver all those packages in so short a timespan?

The fastest existing known way of travel is through an electric wire/cable. So if we can build a large enough electric wire and circuit then we can travel through space and time on the electric current itself

Of course time travel is possible. People play video games all the time and 10 hours later they wonder where their time went. I believe time travel is more a mental/ outer body experience (I.e psychological) action than it is “technology”

Way beyond me. Think I'll just focus on getting to work on time ... by driving my car.

The fun thing about science is you can just make up whatever you want to, and if you say it with confidence people think you're smart.

Gravity transcends time and space. Be gravity my friend

It just incredible just how intelligent some people are, and what’s more scary is how much we still don’t know about this subject. Mostly postulates and theories.

This is a great example of someone talking with great confidence, about theoretical gibberish.

TLDR, layman's terms: He said that _if_ something can travel that way, it would not fit the models and we should be looking for different models.

You lost me when you rewound your cassette tape to listen to it again.

Well, I understood "The Dark Side Of The Moon" which was always one of my favorites albums, but thats about it! 🤔

I could listen to Eric Weinstein all day. Of coarse, I'm just an average Joe with little background in Physics except for the Physics I took in College. But even a thimble full of understanding is enough to keep anyone intrigued.

As odd as it may seem. 3 of us seen a rip in the universe and an object moving through it. It floated towards us as the sun set. As it came closer, it had flickering lites (white) as in windows like a space craft. It was lower than clouds. It went in to a hole in the sky above us. And we witnessed one light dissappear 1 ar a tine. 9/2023. My friend said it was a time traveler. We were mesmerized. .

@4:05 Great Joe Rogan impression.

I think multi dimensions is the same as microscopic and digantic scales, whereas we live in what's visible to us in our frequency's and other larger scale or smaller scale things can see and Interact with its own ike frequency, different size particles/frequency's are the template for infinite. If I wanted to go to the 4 or 5th dimension I need creat particles that can exist in those frequency or a space suit that can block out our frequency to see past the micro or gigantic like zoom out n see

Where can we see the entire podcast? This is so fckn cool! 🤩

No...We live in the same moment All the time. I don't know why people keep insisting on debating this topic.

Every dimension has space and every dimension has time. These are characteristics of dimensions themselves. Time is the experience of traveling along the dimensional curve, whereas space is traversing the curves.

From what we can guess, UAPs would use some sort of gravity manipulation to move and travel. We don't know how to do that, but its a smart guess that someone could figure it out and use it. Considering that gravity will bend space/time and effect light, its possible that all these movements we see them doing that we can't explain, aren't actually what they are doing, its just what we're seeing.

What a fascinating thought provoking clip... I'd never considered extra temporal dimensions. It's always a refreshing hearing him speak. It also beckons the question are there other dimensions outside of space and time that we're unaware of -

I only wanted to know how they time traveled. I never wanted my brain to melt.

While it is thrilling to imagine what contact with an extraterrestrial civilization might look like, it's equally plausible to argue that such a civilization might never choose to visit us, based on a few core assumptions. Firstly, consider the massive advancements such a civilization would have achieved to become capable of interstellar travel. Their technology would likely be millions of years ahead of ours. This gap in technological development could be so vast that they might see us in the same way that we view simple, single-celled organisms. Our civilization, culture, and technology might be so primitive in comparison that they find little or no value in making contact. Secondly, the logistics of interstellar travel are staggering even for a highly advanced civilization. The energy required to travel across the vast distances of space is immense. If these civilizations have mastered such energy use, they likely have also learned how to utilize resources more efficiently or synthesize what they need. Therefore, they might not have the need to explore other planets for resources. Furthermore, these civilizations might have developed sophisticated ways to gather information and understand the universe without needing to physically travel to different planets. Their methods of exploration and understanding could be so advanced that physically visiting a planet like Earth is simply unnecessary. Lastly, advanced civilizations might be aware of the risks that come with contacting a less advanced civilization. History on Earth shows us that when a more advanced civilization encounters a less advanced one, it often leads to the detriment and sometimes the destruction of the less advanced society. Aware of this potential harm, an advanced extraterrestrial civilization might choose to avoid contact. These points form a case for why an advanced extraterrestrial civilization, even if it does exist and is aware of us, might never choose to visit Earth.
