Eric Weinstein’s Controversial New Approach to Theoretical Physics

"We must leave because we have the Russians, Americans, Chinese and Iranians under ridiculous leadership"... okay but who would be leaving the planet should this theory come to fruition? The Russians, Americans, Chinese. Ever heard the saying "I keep going somewhere new and ending up somewhere I've already been.." What makes him think that abandoning our planet will make these deep rooted tribalistic tendencies disappear? Our baggage comes with us. The theory is cool though.

[@OieseGG]

That’s what I was thinking, well put

[@WestsideRipper]

Isn't his point that we will forever argue and never cooperate so destroying our own planet will be inevitable, be it through climate change, nuclear war or some other reason. It will be good to expand to other places in the universe. Because of the ability of conscious creation, we are similar to a God and could create life in other places.

[@extinnocence]

@@WestsideRipper I'm definitely an advocate for interstellar exploration, but it seemed to me like Weinstein was including a pessimistic prediction/opinion as opposed to a fact whilst laying out the fundamentals of his theory, I was nit-picking I admit

[@extinnocence]

@@donventura2116 Right.. and I'm saying that no matter where we go, we will take our primative minds with us. Unless we can erase tribalism from our emotional rolodex using NeuralLink or some mind altering technology, our baggage will come with us. Sure it may not be America vs Russia way out in the Proxima star system, but other factions and enclaves certainly. My argument was that, just because we can fly to new planets using this man's theory does not mean that we won't destroy those planets just as fast or faster. Something fundamental must change at HOME. We must leave Earth because we are unified not because we are divided.

[@extinnocence]

@@donventura2116 I see what you're saying, and I agree with you. I didn't necessarily mean that we had to fix ALL of our problems before interstellar travel and colonization could take place. But if you think about it.. most of our current global problems would need to be solved before we could even consider leaving the planet. I don't believe we could build a fleet of star-going vessels using the energy that fossil fuels provide. I feel like we would have to already be using sustainable, renewable, plentiful energy to create something so massive, intricate, and energy consuming. Energy in this form would most likely be clean and non-polluting, "solving" our problem of global warming (maybe, I'm just guessing here). Not only that, but in order to build such massive and intricate starships you'd certainly need resources from every corner of the planet and maybe even from neighboring celestial bodies.. which would most likely promote global cooperation and coordination between nation's. So by the time were getting ready to leave, 2020's problems may be a thing of the past.. simply because solving those problems is what allows us to leave the Earth in the first place.

@ungratefulmetalpansy In our lifetimes? Yeah. In the long run though? I don't think all or even most humans should leave this planet, but the idea of gradually establishing infrastructure and habitats in space and on other planets makes a lot of sense if you want to increase the long-term resiliency of our species. Especially if you can get a real resource economy/market going up there. We've survived this long. I think it's a worthwhile goal, so long as you value humanity, to prepare for a future where the Earth is uninhabitable due to forces beyond (or within) our control. At the very least, Earth will eventually be baked by the Sun as it grows in diameter. Even if that's hundreds of millions or over a billion years from now.

I want to think that basically we currently don't have the ability to perceive what is really going on around us and he is developing a theory to possibly unlock the ability to do that. It's like we currently have our eyes open in the dark. We can see somethings but not everything and he is trying to turn on the lights. I believe there is another receptor that we have that is being blocked for some reason. Like when one person believes in ghosts and another person doesn't. Who is to say that they don't. If you haven't perceived it then our first reaction for some reason is to out right dis believe because people will think you're insane. For some reason we as humans limit ourselves. Whether that is a built in thing or not....so we don't discover reality as it really is. If we are being controlled by something beyond our comprehension would that thing allow us to find the true code to our being or is there a terminate program built in. When we get to that point It would be like when Peter Griffin on an episode of family guy woke up and was suddenly a real human being. 😆 We are limiting ourselves to our 5 senses. We have more senses some are just turned off at the moment.....

Once life-sustaining gases are released en masse, by strategically placed generating plants that produce oxygen and hydrogen as well as carbon dioxide (for plant life), and we make sure the proportions are identical to earth, then we have a viable planet. However, the lower gravity and further distance from the sun will need to be taken into account and an artificial greenhouse effect will need to be manifest and maintained. This will require energy and it will be difficult as the larger distance from the sun means solar power is less effective. We will need nuclear power plants all over mars for this to work.

If we can’t steward this planet, what makes him think we can steward another planet. We won’t see success here, until we can find a way to divorce our humanity from our inhumanity. Unfortunately, it’s baked into the cake.

[@slipknot95maggot]

To be fair I think that's kind of his point. Like, not only can we not steward a planet, this nor another, but we have failed at stewarding this one to the point that we have less chance of figuring out how to steward it and reverse the damage done in time than letting the aggregate knowledge of physics take us to achieving galactic occupation thus giving us the lifespan of our new planet to figure things out, plus we don't have to repair and rebuild, only build. In other words I think he knows we might fail another planet as well. But I think he's convinced this one is too doomed, and we may have to get used to the idea that we may make barren a world or two before we figure things out (/leave all the crazy people behind...? I dunno, he's loosing me a bit) Personally though, I don't know why he thinks a novel understanding in physics will coincide with a novel understanding in ecology..... Figuring out space travel doesn't mean we also know how to take the system which gives us not only oxygen but also microflora etc etc, and any drastic change in sun exposure will coincide with our insufficient or waaaayyy overdosed vitamin d levels, etc etc etc on into "we're literally all one system" oblivion. The problem isn't us 'stewarding' another planet, it's us pulling off the eco-transplant in the first place. Never mind how long of a shelf life we can give it. I don't even know why we think we're ready to build a whole new closed system.

He's talking about dispersing humans around the universe so our light is never extinguished. He's not after utopia somewhere else, we're too scum for that.

[@cryptocrush-823]

slipknot95maggot we’re not ready to build our own system. We still have limited, and yet vast understanding of the human body. I think he believes that life itself, is enormously adaptive, and given the right settings, it can thrive anywhere. Now, that maybe true for bacteria, but, certainly not with more complex organisms. Basically, we’d have to find a sterile planet, that we can then introduce life to it slowly. I still think our biggest struggle will be divorcing ourselves from our human nature. At least those flaws, that lead us to become selfish, and warring. Not sure how’d you go about that. Eventually, as a population grows, tribes would almost certainly begin to form. I really don’t know. Sounds nice in theory, but, it’s way more complicated than I think we can imagine. Doesn’t mean it’s not worth trying, though.

[@LELANTOS11]

What i got from what he was saying was something more like 'as long as humans can out run the destructive capacity of humanity for long enough there is some chance that a less destructive future may be acheived'. Might not be exactly what he meant but that's how i understood it anyway

He's drunk with intellectualism, thinking the only life worth anything is that with a high cognitive function. He forgets the basic intuition most people have; the divine principle of rebirth.

The problem here is that smart guy severely undercuts himself in respect to what he considers a "sanely" run world. He got his wish in respect to his preferred political leadership for running the West and now the nuclear armaggedon clock is just a smidgeon of seconds away from midnight - with the general state of the West in a debt-ridden fiasco of calamities that is the worse conditions for the collective West since the outbreak of WW2 (and we don't even have the manufacturing capacity to fight any war anywhere as the Biden Ukraine proxy war has depleted stockpiles that will take months and years to replinish - while Russia rains down 40,000 artillery shell bombardments without breaking a sweat, doing so for many months now, no sign of depletion in sight - lowly Russia is able to deliver more ongoing firepower than the entirety of NATO, demonstrating it could in reality defeat all of NATO in Europe if it took the gloves off and took out Western satellites and fought all of NATO WW1 style as its done to the Ukraine)

By such a broad standard set, how is *he* not utterly ridiculous? (He used it as justification for his thesis that we have to leave the planet, and eventually he used the term "Putin's b----" and seems to also be a TDSer, so that explains a lot about his mindset, agenda, character psychology.) Right after that, Joe should have asked him who he imagines as a grown-up for president. (If his standards are so pseudo-high and arguably detached from reality that he considers even Putin not qualifying.) 1:35 Who says gods are known for their outstanding wisdom??

I haven't done this crap in a very long time, as in twenty years, and then specialized in what would now be called nano-tech and entanglement, and theoretical aspects of that a few years after Eric did his PhD. I still have the books of the standard model and general relativity in my bookshelf, and from there it is about two years of learning quite some mathematical stuff, which it looks like from the title of Eric's PhD is done. What has always bothered me a lot more than the inability of unifying gravity and quantum mechanics is that the equipment necessary to distinguish between theories is the size of solar systems, and if we continue the investment in ever larger colliders would only be available at the end of the twenty second century. So I moved on to other stuff. I have normally found the string theorists, and the cosmology crowd to be quite approachable, so it should not be too hard to learn the lingo. What is much harder is the amount of effort required to learn a theory in detail that does not come framed in the standard ways of looking at the problems. There has to be a compelling reason. I have done that a few times, and there is some brilliant, but ultimately wrong stuff out there. The most fun I encountered was a book allegedly removed from all libraries in the world by the Illuminati, who had taken Tesla's work forward. It described the construction of portals and the warping of space and time using electromagnetic equipment. Whoever had written this had a solid conceptual grasp of general relativity and of electromagnetism. The coupling constants were wrong, which meant the equipment needed to be the size of solar systems, not rooms. I think what I am trying to say is that the devil is really in the detail, as I am sure Eric is aware of. So it is really for him to look at the low energy aspects of his theory in the energy realm of the large hadron collider and to see if his theory spits out some particles that should have been covered there. It is not entirely implausible that something might have been missed, that can be found in the data. Again, it is my understanding that this data, although HUGE, is reasonably publicly accessible. There is some extreme black magic done on that data with statistics, and perhaps something was missed because people did not know what to look for. Wouldn't that be something ...

(i really dont know anything about this next part so this is just a guestimate at this point lol) another thing is the idea that regular matter can't interact with the other type of matter and the attempt to resolve the interactions between those generations may be negligible/unimportant, even though right now those interactions are being seen as new generations, these generations might be imposters. the idea of the hand has been talked about before so looking up a chrality video should explain that pary.

So from what I've read if his theory was true they would've already discovered new particles he predicted at the LHC in Cern and they didn't, also he never published a paper on it so they can't really check his math or design experiments to prove his theory.

[@thepcguy007]

What in his theory has anything to do with predicting new particles?

[@chinyioh8822]

@@thepcguy007 i think his theory does states that due to our rudimentary senses it is plausible that there are other particles, which we do not detect, but are required for what I guess the fundamental forces of the universe(maybe?). This is just from what I understood regarding the symmetry bit near the end, so I might be wayyyy off.

What was your takeaway from what Eric said?

[@gysteel6650]

Eric Weinstein doesn’t understand what “layman terms” means... 😖😖😖

[@isaccabrera4817]

The Coward Liberius not just in different units but using a new tool, just as a protractor is completely different from a ruler and defines a separate piece if information. Like a ruler defines distance and a protractor defines direction/angle of distance. Just like we can’t find an angle between something by directly using a ruler. So instead of changing the ruler we can keep that the same and instead try to find a new tool of measurement, which in this analogy is a protractor or degrees. Same goes for anything else we have discovered. Like temperature and weight, they can’t be found using a ruler so we invented new tools.

[@isaccabrera4817]

The Coward Liberius I wish I’m not completely sure what he mean either but my response was just my takeaway

[@pretzelboi64]

That's because what he's talking about doesn't have a layman equivalent. You really need to learn Riemannian geometry to understand his ideas because they're based on a lot of abstract geometry concepts most people aren't even aware of. Spinors are a good example of something Eric will never be able to explain in layman terms.

He has been called out as one of the minds who have generatered most new ideas and concepts in resent times, by some of the smartest people on the planet. Eric is wicked smart. Everything he speaks about here is new to the puplic, he just started sharing it, ofcause theres going to be alot to go though. I however believe that the duts he are connecting are relavent on so many levels that we would do ourselfs and future generations a disserves if we do not listen carefully. The coming months and years will likely be a trial and I will listen to Eric every step of the way.

Dark matter is something that they had to "make up" because the current model is missing mass. It was deduced that there "must" be some type of matter that we cannot detect to make up for the missing mass in our universe... hence dark matter. His model actually balances the universe and accounts for all the mass without having to invent an unknown particle by posing that it's "classic" matter but in a different dimension that is symmetrical to the dimension we live in/perceive.
