Michio Kaku is out of control! Eric Weinstein on the Joe Rogan Experience

Why did something happen during the 1950s that resulted in a 70-year stagnation in a field called quantum gravity? Quantum gravity is like a startup that can't launch a product after 70 years and is still assumed in theoretical physics as a kind of prestige theory field. and quantum gravity, is there an application for this that you were trying to achieve? It's not a precursor to the technology as far as we know, but what happened was that quantum gravity was a replacement for something that used to be known as the unified field, so Einstein wasn't chasing quantum gravity, he was chasing field theory. unified that fell from grace.

Unified field theory becomes a kind of funny old expression for the future of physics, and we replace quantum gravity with merging quantum theory with a field. Quantum mechanics theory. and gravitational physics under general relativity, how is it possible that the field became convinced that something that clearly doesn't seem to work and that it has had all the resources, the best minds at its disposal, absorbs everything and just doesn't work? work to be specific, like how many people are working on this problem and how many people have been working on this problem for 70 years with no progress.

I would say that in the period between 1953 and 73 there are parallel things. Quantum gravity is not mainstream at all. Well, then the real physics is happening between 53 and 73, as far as anyone can understand. Well, a single individual who is the most dominant mind on planet Earth right now, indeed, Voldemort, the person whose name we are a little afraid to invoke and causes Wrath. in 1984. Now string theory is how this anomaly cancellation was unexpected and clearly points to the fact that we are ladies and gentlemen, we are about to quantify who that person is, Edward Whitton, and in physics circles You are not allowed to bring this guy. up, oh we talk about him, everyone talks about him, but to challenge him think about Agent Smith, think about playing one on one with Michael Jordan in his prime, he's not a good Joe, I don't think he's good enough stupid not to be intellectually.

I'm scared of anyone else on planet Earth right now I'm really terrified of this person and I've never made contact with the physical world so it's like one of the biggest enigmas so let me get back to the crazy thing you mean. I never made contact with. no Nobel laureate ever predicted something that turned out to be true he never told us to do an experiment that was invalidated so one hundred percent of his efforts have been to not make contact with physical reality oh this I'm sorry, you have people like Michio Kaku, who is in the school of string theory.

Sean Carroll is very sympathetic to him. It is necessary to understand this history. 1957 lecture at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. One of the most eminent mathematical physicists. The first Wrangler in Cambridge was a guy named Herman Bondi. I think an Austrian mathematician in his article deals with negative mass in general relativity. If you have two masses in general, they always attract each other gravitationally, but what if you somehow had a different type of mass that was negative, just like you could have negative and positive? charges strangely, the negative mass is still attracted the same way towards the positive masses if there were no difference, but the positive mass is always repelled, so you get this strange solution where the negative mass chases the positive and they like you I know about unlimited acceleration, so Bondi was thinking about why we have these artificial conditions in general relativity that we impose by hand.

They're not the same beautiful marble that Einstein used for his field equations, but we added some extra shitty stuff. called positivity conditions to prevent general relativity from giving us madness, so Bondi started asking the question maybe we shouldn't, maybe what you think is madness has meaning and that's why this lecture is a confluence of the two families, the Wittens and the Dewitts with Feynman and Wheeler and all these incredible characters present is this fundamental and strange

experience

is that people are smoking marijuana to extend general relativity to places where it has never been extended and the intellectual version of this doesn't work and the vulgar version of this does not work as far as we know, the vulgar version is called pseudoscientific antigravity, gravity shielding, electrogravidics, gravity dynamics, the intellectual version of this is called quantum gravity and all the most respectable people are in it and not works. and you can't say why we're doing this if it doesn't work, why can't I say that Edwin is great, but he made a terrible mistake?

David Gross should David Gross and Ed Whitton should be in front of the community explaining why you did it. take all the smartest people all the resources all the attention Michio Kaku bring Michio kako here with me Michio Kaku is out of

control

Sean Carroll is also covering this up how are they too nice Brian Green like he had this exchange with Brian Greene, where I said we weren't being honest about the failure of string theory and Brian says, oh well, maybe we were a little exuberant and I was able to let Institute of Arts and Ideas slip.

I deleted that is like saying milai milai was irrational exuberance. No, you put a lot of people's careers in the shredder to have this quantum gravity experiment, which is like you know people bowing down and praying to this thing that doesn't work, the dog doesn't hunt and anyone who questions it. He's a nut I'm done with this Joe like you want to come up to me and say Eric doesn't know what he's talking about. I'm debating with physicists. I will debate anyone with Ed Whitton's possible conception, which still scares me, but. I'll probably debate it in an open forum as well.

We have to purge the physical community of the quackery of it and the quackery comes from the high prestige version of this. The high-prestige version of antigravity is called quantum gravity and it just isn't. At work, they have gotten into the map of the prison built by Einstein and they know that it is not right because there are these two singularities, there is this Singularity at the beginning of time that we call the big bang assuming that in time we are one-dimensional and it is part of something called the Friedman Robertson Walker space-time model and there is another one at the bottom of the black hole called The Schwarzgled Singularity and the fact that space and time Twist at these two points is an indication that something is wrong in a mathematician or physicist says that your equations work pretty well up to the point where you have some error that you don't understand and you have like a division by zero error and if you could calculate your error you don't understand it you know what sin you committed, but the way in which You know that you committed a sin is that you have a singularity so that they know that there is some successor.

The theory and lectures on spacetime are doomed and I'm going to talk about non-commutative geometry, but these are all ways to get around the fact that you haven't done your homework for 50 years, so there's a class to which You're supposed to attend and you haven't been in a long time. I don't want to show up and suddenly say what's happening, um, that's what's happening, they're living inside the Einstein model. So when you say something, they'll say, "Well, that's impossible because you can't go faster than the speed of light." that's a space-time concept, that's an Einstein concept, you're not thinking after Einstein, you're not thinking about bringing back Einstein or Einstein is what we would call an effective theory, you're thinking that you actually live in space-time. , so you already know. what you can do and then you cross your arms and say well, that's impossible foreigner
