He's not a physicist. Uh we talked about culture. No, I know with you, too. But you are a man of many opinions. And so I want to talk I will come back on the Into the Impossible podcast if it's now. Yes. No, but I'll come back next week if you like to talk about other things. I'm happy to drive down. I just drove down from LA to talk about dark energy and I want to talk about dark energy. I think I'm tired of doing physics this way. If I'm going to say something like here is the formula for the dark energy. I don't think I want to talk about is Lenny Suskin losing his hair. All right. Well, in…

Cause I wouldn't do your paper in the way that you did your paper. Maybe I screwed up. I'm open to it. I tried to put some order to it because it was a collection of results, right? Like slime mold, but in a, in a positive manner, like many arms. So I tried to put some narrative to it. It's difficult to, but I tried to. What struck me was that it's remarkably simple. I remember I said that to you and I thought you'd be angry at me. The highest compliment you could possibly pay me because I kno…

But in forbidden archaeology, I didn't give an alternative explanation. I presented all of the cases that I uncovered in my research into the primary scientific literature and I gave both sides or all sides of the uh evidence. In other words, people who were the critics, people who were supporting it. And I let the readers make up their own minds about it. But to me, the evidence really suggests that we need a a new understanding of human origins. But I put off my uh version of what that new origin should be. to another book because I wanted people to be free to make up their own minds about i…

What would it take for me to give up on string theory? I wish I could sit here and say in 5 years, there's going to be an experiment at such and such a collider or in 10 years, there's going to be an observation by such and such space station or space observatory. And if it doesn't come out in a particular way, I'll give up on string theory. I can't say that. Nobody can. And the reason is, I think as many of you know string theory has not yet developed to a point where we can make the kinds of definitive observational or experimental predictions that certainly we hoped we'd be able to do when …

So those now you said it underwent some analysis before NBC would air the show. Yes. Uh they had to be submitted to an independent company of metallurgists for examination. Uhhuh. And they they didn't have any explanation for how the grooves could have formed, but they did identify the material as hematite. And now that can be molten down that material. Mhm. That material can be melted down um into like a moldable form. I don't know about that. So, you think they were carved at some point? Well, yes. Some nobody has been able to give me a convincing natural explanation of how these objects cou…

I also told him that Paleo was the first giant step in the right direction, and that is why I cared about the movement. But they were not correct in their assumptions. Sometimes being half right can be as bad as being all wrong. They looked back 15,000 years. This is what attracted me to them initially. But they did not realize just how differently I was , because they do not understand the story of how circadian biology wrote the evolutionary story beginning 4 billion years ago. It used quantum mechanics. There would be no evolution without this story. It was a bold statement for sure, but I …

and he sold them a real bill of goods that string theory was the final theory of everything and that once we understood string theory not physics we would see quote the mind of God that's the last three letter words of his book to the extent that anyone's ever read or understood it he took for granted that things like inflation took place we have no proof of that he did a lot of things tricks he called them well you just make time an imaginary number it's just a trick don't worry about it and then the rest of the book is about the hawking hardle theorem right so which is complete mathematicall…

How do we know that this isn't just pure mathematics? And that would take us into a wonderful conversation along the lines of the material that we just discussed. So yeah, I think he would warm to these ideas pretty quickly. Do you think we're sort of in the realm of philosophy here? One of the criticisms that I see of string theory as somebody who doesn't understand the first thing about it is that because of this lack of experimental data, you can say that in principle it could be tested. But there are all kinds of philosophical theories that in principle we could test. Ideas about personal …

So are there some in the history of physics where you can find reasonable evidence that they were reluctant to take the new step because they were so tied to the old way of looking at things. Yes, you can even in some way say that about Einstein in some ways when quantum mechanics came along and was suggesting that the best you could ever do is predict the likelihood the probability of one or another outcome. very different from the classical perspective that Einstein was used to where you tell Einstein how things are today and Einstein will tell you how they will be tomorrow with 100% certain…

My roommate saw me pacing in circles reading this thing with my brow furrowed. I understood it was a very very profound and surprising result. Now that's of course long after it was published and then I can give you another data point from a few from last year. I gave a talk on Bell's theorem and relativity at John's Hopkins for a general audience and a guy in the audience put up his hand. He said I have a PhD in astrophysics. I've never heard of any of this. He was completely unfamiliar. He said why didn't they tell me? Right. So yeah, I think it's a very strange history that Bell's work whic…
