And they come up on their conclusions it came only by accident as one expert said by no way the virus just like an Alien and kill every humans. We want the TRUTH we are innocent Humans. The Pandemic could be solve may be within 3months and maximum of 5months if our International Safety and Health, FOCUS on the CRIMINALS responsible for spreading the Brainwash Covid, in the first place we innocent Humans have no and are not the Covid we are to be victimized. Instead you focus on the innocent Humans why not on the CRIMINALS you could easily pinned the Criminals with your Protocols by stopping the deliveries of the Brainwash Covid. Covid is not an Alien, covid has no brain to attacked Humans there must be a CRIMINALS. Why is Israel declared zero Covid at this time? Is it because of Protocols? I believed not, its because the Criminals decided to stop the deliveries of Covid and Israel is heavily guarded 24hrs day and night. Why is China is Covid free few months passed and until now? it is because of Protocols? I believe not, its because the Criminals decided to stop the deliveries of Covid by any means and China is heavily guarded,strict air and land and besides during the Pandemic 1million to 2million China Citizens stop using celphones and smartphones and the 3-big TELCO of China deficits billions of dollars. Is it a coincidence? The sabotage of the Criminals may be compensated. If the International Security and Safety and Health Organizations FOCUS on the CRIMINALS not on the Innocent HUMANS the Pandemic could be solve within 3months or maximum of 5months like;China,North Korea,Israel etc. Search and hunt the Criminals not the Innocent Humans. The CRIMINALS responsible the deliveries of the Covid. I opted to proposed Innovation HELMET to protect from BRAINWASH COVID and to Protect from harmful sounds,harmful electrical charged, harmful bio-chemicals for wars,electro-magnetic radiation or any harmful events that contaminated with the environment or the atmosphere caused by greedy business Elites for profits. A Helmet that can filtered all of the above rather than vaccines that never cures but kills some allergy to it and the Pharma only knew what chemicals they incorporate with it, if someone dies Pharma have no liable obligations with their vaccines what a PATHETIC.

Sigh. It’s so sad how there have been numerous legitimate physicists on this show and people who don’t understand any better eat up the shitty physics ideas that don’t work. I can tell you as someone who has spent years around high-energy physics that his theory is roundly rejected by almost everyone for highly technical reasons. I understand that the average person who hasn’t studied physics doesn’t know any better. But believe me, it’s an incredibly poorly-defined theory that makes almost no testable predictions. There are better ideas on which one can spend time thinking.

[@Chase-b5t]

@@CanWeGetDeep I'll try to explain why it's not even worth reading. There are entire conferences on quantum gravity, with papers being published every month. Real practicing theoretical physicists at top physics departments are the people who work on this. Look up people like Ed Witten, Nima Arkani-Hamed, Gerard t'Hooft. These are the people who are worth listening to. They work on quantum gravity daily. Eric is not a practicing physicist. It is impossible to keep up with the massive volume of technical developments that have occurred in a field if you have left it for over 20 years. It is simply not possible. His paper on geometric unity has no reference whatsoever to numerous developments in recent years. How do you link it to the standard model? How does it make testable predictions? If you can't provide adequate answers to these and numerous other developments which have occurred in the last 20 years, then it's not worth anybody's time. It either makes testable predictions or it doesn't. His theory does not. It's that simple. Crazy ideas are a dime a dozen in theoretical physics and almost all of them are wrong. It is incredibly hard to come up with a great new idea in physics and if you haven't been following hte field for 20+ years, it is almost guaranteed your ideas are incorrect, because how could you possibly explain the most recent developments that actual physicists who work daily on a given topic have developed?

The folks in government are puppets, and you won't be allowed in unless you are also a puppet. I worked with an Italian dude at a government contractor job in the EU, and he was telling me that in order to be a successful politician in Italy you have to "really like kids", be coke addict, or have a very serious gambling problem, SOMETHING. You must have some serious vice by which you can be controlled. He said "honest men cannot be trusted." For example, secret societies often require members to do things that would completely destroy their life if anyone found out, because it creates an "honor among thieves" with mutually assured destruction blackmail materials all around. Or at least those a layer behind you. You are locked into a circular firing squad where everyone important has metaphorical nuke codes, and nobody wants to die. A LOT of high level government folks, if not all, are members of such organizations. If you somehow manage to get past the gatekeepers and into anything meaningful in government without being controlled, you WILL be treated like Trump was by the media, as well as endless corrupt judges and agencies and their apparatchiks. You don't drain the swamp, the swamp drains you, by ANY means necessary. If they didn't successfully get away with their coup in November I'd bet DT would have been JFK'ed. He probably got off easily all things considered. As George Carlin said: it's a big club, and you are not in it! You and I are not in the big club folks! You MIGHT have a chance at local politics, but the big boys play for keeps. Lots of suicides among folks who looked to have dirt on the Clintons, for example.

I remember the first time I improvised a guitar solo that was truly " inspired". Inspired in the sense that it did not come from me but rather from somewhere else. I know what you're thinking because I used to feel the same way. This is what people refer to as anything from being in the zone, to feeling the holy spirit, to being possessed. All I know is that I was no longer "thinking" about what to play, which is what one does even while improvising. Typically while improvising you're playing things that you know will work in a given context, but I only thought about the first phrase and after that I just played what the song wanted me to. It's like I noticed it after it had already been going on for awhile. I didn't have to think about anything at all really, the music was playing me! That's really the best way I can describe it.

This is the best interview I’ve seen that gives open minded people information without a skew. It’s a fine line to walk and you do it beautifully. Im an old broad so take this seriously. I speak the truth I’ve learned as an empathetic 70 years on this earth. I think you have what we call in the South you have an old wise soul. You seem older than you are and I feel younger each day. This all has me reliving my old hippie days of protests and sit-Ins about our military losing at one time 100k brave soldiers that were my friends that were drafted without choice to join military. Vietnam was a war that we felt was for nothing good but for invasion of another country for assets. I’ve never trusted the government since. Perspective is very important. That’s why I’m sharing my story with you. I’ve never forgotten how manipulated we felt as they portrayed us as kids who used drugs. That was farther from the truth! Besides even if we were smoking marijuana from Mexico (that’s a big hint on the government too) we would just eat and sleep. While alcohol was killing people. Tell me what’s up with that? Sorry for long rant but I love your work and thought I’d take the time to give you another perspective from your grandmother you don’t know❤️🙏🌈

Imagine something that has had such a huge impact on our daily lives, for EVERYONE, like 'The C Word' and yet we can't/won't even dare talk about it and share an opinion on it (at risk of social media punishment)... that there alone should send alarm bells ringing.

Can't remember having our thoughts and ideas ever squelched or censored before like they are doing with this subject. Big red light!

@@ritab-c492 Imagine if you were censored or called a loon ever step of the way if you dared talked about 'The War' during WW2. That's where we are at with C.
