The Physics of UFOs: Eric Weinstein + Hal Puthoff

Eric talking to a person who worships the space alien Xenu is peak IDW.

[@Greg_Chase]

Gravity is nothing more than a gradient quench of inertial drag. An easy way to model what happens due the alteration of the Vacuum by a natural gravity source is this: a submarine sits idle at some depth in the ocean, not moving. A large sphere of steam is created, and maintained, directly in front of it. The pressure of the medium (water in this case) at the rear accelerates the submarine into the less-dense, ie. rarified, medium - the huge, static steam sphere in front of the boat. Carefully note that energy was required to be added to the medium to create the acceleration. The immense energy and motions of the atoms of the planet alters the Vacuum in the immediate vicinity. The heat source that created the rarification of the medium in front of the boat. The technique to change the magnitude of inertial drag that is experienced by a matter object in the Vacuum has been known for decades. Gravity is a gradient quenching of inertial drag - objects are accelerated into the 'steam bubble' created in the Vacuum by the aggregate energy of Earth's atoms. It is sad we have been lied to by people who live off our taxes for decades. It is tragic. Just because they think an incremental introduction of artificial gravity tech is not possible, does not mean that belief is correct. .

So, not hard to jump from that to why we don't talk about these strange things happening to, apparently, millions of people. There are videos, photos, witnesses, people talking about it.

But why is that a much bigger deal than the atomic bombs we blew up at the end of WW2? Didn't those also send a signal into the universe? UFO activity increased drastically by 1946-47, and there were many blatant "flaps" besides 1952 Washington, that one just stands out because it's the capital of the US.

[@Indrid-Cold]

@@alexmeduna641 I’m afraid that’s a question far beyond the scope and purview of a KZbin comment. It requires an above- average understanding of physics, the state of theoretical physics at that time, the Multi-layered feud between Ed Teller and Oppenheimer, a well-defined understanding of the difference between fission and fusion, as well as a thorough understanding of the chronology of ufology. Suffice it to say, the hydrogen bomb was VERY different from the weapons dropped on Japan, with a very scary potential for an unstoppable chain reaction. Moreover, prior to those two weeks in 1952, there had never been a UFO flap that was so clearly meant to send a message to the the leaders of the world’s superpower.

[@jors3028]

As a physicist who has met Puthoff and read his journal articles, I appreciate this interview very much. It occurred to me, that Hal is making a deeper discovery about GR, that stretches to cover EM. I mean, if you have two charges, positive and negative, is that not a space-time distortion, in the same was two masses attract? Would you not see GM effects, like time dilation? However, what would that really mean? It kind of pokes at the concept of time itself. What is time, really? Just another dimension? What is charge, really? How much effect do vacuum fluctuations have on EM constants? It seems the answer to the last question: is that it should have some effect. Mu and Epsilon would then tie into G, and Mu and Epsilon tie into the amount of energy (scalar fields) in a given region of space. It seems we are so close to an answer. Not sure why its hard to pin that down?

[@friendlyone2706]

Question for anyone : Why is the speed of light called a constant when, according to Einstein's famous E = mC^2 or, using first year algebra, (E/m)^1/2 = C, which says the speed of light is a ratio of the total energy of the universe divided by the total mass (the square root, but we're talking about such big quantities , for simplicity's sake, I'm just going to concentrate on the ratio part. We have learned energy and matter are two versions of the same thing, nuclear bombs are an example of matter turning into energy. If E = 0 and it's all one hunk of matter, C = 0 because there's no place to go. If m approaches 0, and it's all energy, C will increase, in fact, C will approach infinity. Does the universe’s ratio E/m change? It does so within stars and atomic bombs, so why not the universe as a whole? The Big Bang Theory claims in the ancient past it was all m, E = 0, and C must have been 0, since there was no place to go anyway. Similar to how a Gaussian closed 3-D surface can be treated as if its center of mass point contained all of its mass, can an area of space be treated as if its average E/m ratio were the universe’s E/m ratio? In other words, if in interstellar space, can a space station behave as if the mass of the universe were much less than it is, thus raising the speed of light on the station? Would that make the distant stars closer than they appear?

But them being able to produce remote viewing underwater would be a real weapon. Eric was saying "Hey prove it to me" while forgeting what would be more important was proof to his bosses "the US government." 260k back then was a lot of money.

Exactly. Eric's narcissism and arrogance are always off the charts and it may not be noticed by the general public but as a scientist myself is so obvious he has no clue about the scientific method and critical thinking and is a mathematician only to the core. Like an unfortunate stereotype he sometimes rather brazenly exhibits a similar sense of hereditary and cultural entitlement that his namesake Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein showed as if just his cultural background means his ideas can't be questioned or if you disagree you must be antisemitic. In talking about Uaps his attitude of needing to gather the greatest ever minds in antigravity and high order theoretical physics to discuss what exotic anti gravity propulsions systems ETs must use is hilariously irrational. It's like after a bigfoot sighting to gather all the worlds top dieticians and zoologists and animal social structure experts to work out what cultural structure Bigfoot must have..... but it doesn't occur to him to instead invite some ape suit makers like oscar winner Rick Baker to study footage and advise how easily faked and filmed a bigfoot 'sighting' could be. He would rather gather a bunch of physics geeks to talk esoteric maths rather than experienced methodical image analysis detectives to identify the likelihood of balloons or misidentified distant conventional jets and determine if there was any evidence at all that something non earthly needs an explanation involving unknown physics.

I got the idea to use that principle of electrostatic attraction to make an air pump. I put a plastic bag between two sheets of foil and applied a few thousand volts. The exact value doesn't matter. The effect appears immediately. Instead of being attracted, the plates were repelled against gravity! Except for the wires. But the wires were so small that their attractive force was nil compared to the repulsive force acting on the plates. Move the plates around, and always some part of the plate attracts, and another part repels. It was not a good air pump at all. It took a while to figure out what's going on. But it's not as simple as opposite charges attract. Metal plates are bipolar. They have both positive and negative charges. Their charges are free to move. So they both attract and repel. That's half the secret right there. The rest lies squarely in the field of topology.

[@gruppler]

@@DAClarkism I can understand that. I have spent years looking from that perspective myself. But those weights and measures are no more illusory than physical reality itself; there are still fundamental principles upon which physical reality unfolds. So the materialist tools are not rendered obsolete, they are just a subset of the toolset needed to make sense of the bigger picture.

[@noneatallatanytime]

@@gruppler The fundamental problem is that material is objective while consciousness is subjective. Science only works on an objective level so to allow for any other origin makes science obsolete. It is also dangerous to allow for the subject to be the arbiter of reality. You are seeing this in the "gender debate" where the logic is that we have to accept a reality because a subject says so. You can easily take this logic to its absurd end and the world no longer makes sense.

[@geshtu1760]

I'm very sympathetic to Eric's skeptical reactions and it's great that he could both be honest about the reactions and also open to hearing more. His response about Hal not continuing a lucrative business on the stock market due to "lack of time" or "being exhausted" were quite strong I think. But at the same time, I think there's a danger in trying to suggest that something was impossible simply because we don't know how it was done. If the results were positive, the only possible explanations are that either there was a flaw in the experiment and information was relayed via other means (trickery, fraud etc) or there's a genuine effect here that we just don't yet understand. If you see an aeroplane flying through the air, you can't claim it's not doing that simply because you don't know how it's doing it. That response avenue is not open to you. Either you're being deceived, or it's your understanding of physics that needs to be revised. The same applies with remote viewing. The two options are that either the experiment was flawed and some form of deception was at play (whether intentional or accidental), or there's something real that needs further investigation. In both cases I don't think scientists should simply dismiss it and ignore it. And that's what bothers me about modern science (as much as I still respect and love what it does do well).

[@elephantman2415]

Hal is a scientist and if he was working very hard at his job, and he already knew remote viewing worked, and his superiors knew it worked, and it was classified anyway, who did he have to prove it to? Once the proof is done, it is done. Many people, once they have enough for themselves and their families, have little motivation for ever more money.

[@DeanMccormick]

He (Eric), strikes me as a massive idiot. Period.

[@bronevaya]

Eric couldnt comprehend why he was choosing science over money. He could get rich and say he did it with remote viewing and people would laugh at him and say he was just lucky. Or he can do the science, something he is actually passionate about, and prove it with the numbers that matter.

What we call parapsychology or paranormal or pseudoscience today is simply a reflection of the limits of our current knowledge and of the range of our senses to comprehend.

Are you making the assertion that 'ghosts are real, but we can't see them because our senses have not yet sufficiently evolved far enough on their current trajectory or perhaps even that we have not YET developed a so-called sixth sense more attuned to detection for us to be able to detect with certainty the presence of them' ? Or likewise - that things such as 'Chakra meditation' 'Qi-Gong' 'remote viewing' 'colored auras' 'black magick/witchcraft' 'demonology/summoning demonic entities' 'voodoo' 'healers' - which are commonly referred to as "pseudoscience" (which I think is too generous, even including the word science at all since most of them are just methods which charlatans use to defraud desperate, hopeful, naive, trusting people out of money...) are also or could also be legitimate however we currently lack the technology or senses need to comprehend these things or understand them? It sounds like that's what you're saying. I disagree very strongly. I believe the scientific method is it able to repeatedly show with an overwhelming amount of evidence that things such as ghosts and the like are demonstrably false. We have devices which can measure sound and light at different including all the ones that our eyes and ears cannot, thermal imaging, variances in temperature fluctuation, electromagnetic interference, magnetic fields, pressure, electrical current, changes in atmospheric condition or air composition - just to name a few. Time and time again, purported paranormal activity from the presence of a ghost to chakra meditation causing your body to heat up in certain areas or become protected by some divine force FAILS to leave any measurable or quantifiable evidence of its existence. Mind you this is not just the lack of something, but the act of proving claims by individuals to be wrong, non-existent, and devoid of any reason. Also mind you, these subjects or alleged phenomena aren't abstract, intangible ideas like "love"" is. Nope. The scientific method makes quick and complete easy work proving these things false. We know enough to know that at some later date maybe nine hundred years in the future, no one's going to figure out anti-gravity by arranging pretty colored crystals and minerals into patterns and then and only then, after seeing the magic word which is part of science that we haven't figured out yet, the pattern will activate and let us manipulate gravity at our will. It's just absurd what you are saying. There is truth to the saying that a sufficiently advanced technology would appear to be magic but the things that are nonsense and junk science now will still be junk science then and hopefully for the sake of the status quo they will have faded into complete obscurity by that time because Humanity will all be connected to singular knowledge base, maybe through a very small wearable or implant that allows us to have access to a complete encyclopedic collection of all knowledge ever recorded in human history rendering any style of Education that doesn't focus on critical thinking or cross-pollination of ideas to solve problems obsolete.

38:43 It's terrifying for them, especially if you consider the scale of time. Imagine if their civilization has existed for a million years in peace. Even if they have had contact with other civilizations, perhaps a mutual cooperation or peace, protectorate, whatever, has been in place and been stable for 100.000 years. Every single individual in their civilizations has been "born into" an age of peace and stability. Now imagine human beings becoming capable of splitting the atom and spaceflight and arguably interstellar travel, in 100-200 years. We might be an extreme anomaly in the traditional development of galactic species. it may take an average of 50.000 years to go from medieval age to spaceflight. We always assume we must be the average dumbest people in the universe. But what if we're not? What if we're gaining all this attention because our technological advancement has been unpredictably rapid? So basically, their entire 1 million years of peace, is now forced to deal with an upstart primate that within 100 years attained the near capability to come visit with fusion bombs, without the experiential or evolutionary experience to have attained peace and stability in their own society... They'd be utterly terrified. Even if they have advanced technology it doesnt necessarily equal invulnerable. I have a smartphone that is more advanced than anything Emperor Nero had, i have more knowledge available to me in my internet connection than the entire library of Alexandria. I know more about the world than the Oracle at Delphi. But they could still kill me with a sword from the back, or an arrow shot from the bushes.

It’s difficult to think that a few tiny nuclear explosions would affect much when one considers what the average supernova can do. More likely it’s a simple “the kids have found the matches” scenario.

[@treyb1919]

That was one of the best conversations I have heard in a long time. There are few forces more powerful than open minds.

[@fran5975]

This was a GREAT conversation. Two knowledgeable people treating each other with respect, not always agreeing. Fabulous work. I didn’t understand most of it but questions I wanted asked. I stumbled on your channel and I watched this based on Hal Putoff. I love the fact that all of you had so many layers of understanding. I look forward to exploring your channel

The Ingo Swan story is incredibly fascinating, and absolutely as real as can be, those who look into it know

[@doylegaines1319]

Yep, that's how I "know" that everything I want to believe in is real... I "know" it.

[@bendlor]

@@doylegaines1319 n The CIA worked him for 20 years because his abilities clearly weren't real... I like your inference skills .. shocked you even made it this far in life mate

[@markjensen2198]

You should interview Eric Davis as well, he could possibly answer more physics questions in regards to UAPs and their theoretical/hypothetical propulsion mechanics. I think Weinstein could ask some important questions on the topic as well.

[@Redbaron_sites]

The thing that has always impressed me with Eric is he is his own person. He doesn't seem to stick with the crowd narrative just to avoid criticism from his peers. He emmits a field of confidence, bravery and best of all damned rare common sense.❤

Jesse, these programs are amazing! The research, content and production values 10/10

A wheel with other wheels attached, spinning separate from axis wheel, wot wud happen?

[@JesseMichels]

Thank you!!

[@mollcustominstruments9712]

Great discussion, thanks to all! Though I've had a great, however, "armchair", interest in UFOs/UAP for most of my 65 years, I have absolutely no formal background in physics so, I'm sure you can imagine the amount of cerebral melt this discussion brought to my limited understanding. It's the kind of melt I love though because it pushes me to try to understand it all a little better. I just subscribed, Jesse, and I look forward to seeing more talks like this. Both Hal and Eric, are clear and refreshing in their approach to the topic, Have them back, please!

[@matthewbecker7389]

I'm a little bit angry it took this long for the algorithm to show me this channel, but I guess that just means I have more to enjoy. Very impressive production, and I could listen to Eric read his shopping list and find out something new about this reality of ours.

[@Billsbob]

Is there a version where Eric shuts up and lets the interesting guy talk more than 30’s?

[@IRBry]

cia people don’t tend to talk much

[@andrewhutchinson8025]

Refreshing , interesting and too damn short. In all honesty I could of spent five to six hours with these guys. I just love the way that serious conversations are popping up all over regarding this fascinating subject.. the UFO phenomena needs more of this rather than the ancient aliens nonsense which only serves to make it a joke. I love how the pace of this subject has really increased in its quantity and quality that is much appreciated by myself.. Bravo 👏👏👏

[@Meilk27]

all that and yet you (like a dozen others I see on yt comments every day) commit the most egregious assault on grammar; I would argue worse than 'conversate' 'irregardless' are those that say 'of' in place of "__'ve". Contractions are 2nd grade.😤

[@keirfarnum6811]

Oh god! You are so right. The Ancient Aliens guys frustrate me to no end. They take just about anything archeological and try to turn it into alien related phenomenon. When have UFOs ever needed runways or why would a Mayan king be an astronaut just because he happens to be depicted in a way similar to how our astronauts sit in a rocket. Everything they come up with is garbage. There are a few tantalizing clues from history, but the AA guys project constantly onto the past.

[@fockewulf190d]

Can’t wait! Most anticipated interview for me hands down!

[@jakubjodlowski2768]

Same here!

[@1Cromz]

I could’ve watched this for hours. This is great content, thank you everyone involved.

[@rikkafe6050]

Kudos to Eric Weinstein for putting his natural emotive feelings and intellectual knowledge aside inorder to partake in this debate and to Hal Puthoff for accepting the scrutiny. Very enjoyable and informative video. so thanks to Jesse Michels for putting it together.

[@wenca1352]

Hal knows everything, was THERE for the last 50-60 years but still wont spill the beans. Listen carefully to his wording. There are better videos. There are many more materials. There is more knowledge.

[@YoungMasterpiece]

Once a company man, always a company man. Jesse, great job, great guests, man, it gives us input that you really researched who to talk to. My new fav channel.

[@centerice]

Imagine if we could all read minds. What incredible and terrifying secrets would we see, if we could look into the minds of Puthoff, Davis, Vallee, and Corso, who often stated, "What the public knows, is only the tip of the iceberg, and only scratches the surface?"

[@julianmcnalley4909]

Steven Greer my friend look him up

[@subspaceanomaly]

​@@julianmcnalley4909steven greer never presents any solid information and changes topic every ten or fifteen seconds, so it sounds like he's saying a lot. I'm really interested in the ufo phenomenon but have given up trying to listen to that guy. It seems likely that he's completely mad, certainly something strange going on with him.

[@locksh]

Your videos are such a blessing, hard to believe such quality content exists for such fringe topics.

[@jimspace]

Thank you for this perfectly put-together episode. It felt like 10 minutes long
