The Gravity Bubble

Epstein’s "Friends" Are Far More Dangerous Than He Is - Eric Weinstein

Suddenly, an alarm goes off on the TARDIS console;

The Doctor dashes across the room 

and checks the readings —

Tom :

….another Instrumentation-failure —

The Boy :

— a Gravity-bubble…?

Tom (scowls) :

No….! (Operates A Lever, performs percussive-maintenance 

on The Console — another, much more urgent-sounding alarm 

begins to sound, replacing the previous one) …definitely 

a Gravity-bubble — pretty localised, too

from the look of it….

The Boy :

…..is that dangerous…?

Q. : ….what do you make of the most release of Epstein documents…?

— you tell me. 

Q. : — oh man…. I mean, surprising 

to see Steven Hawking on 

there, in some ways…. 

…..but why, I wouldn't know.... 

what Jeffrey Epstein would want with Stephen Hawking 

-- what are you assuming is 

so terrible about Stephen Hawking 

being in these documents...? 

-- I didn't say that it was terrible... 

...okay -- like 

that answer : 

interesting....

-- I'm surprised that Jeffrey Epstein would 

have an interest in Steven Hawking 

Beyond him being somebody 

that is well-known influential powerful 

and potentially leverageable; 

which is that makes me think what 

he took an interest in physics 

and I don't know why --

-- and you... 

Do at least you have an idea about 

why he took an interest in physics-- Jeffrey? 

but I don't know why I don't know

 why Jeffrey Epstein was 

interested in physics 

---well what would you guess....? 

.......there's some special mathematics there 

that allows him to or the people 

that he is associated with to better 

be able to predict things.... to be able 

to use it in some sort of a way 

around financial markets; around 

new technology that's emerging 

to just be able to see the direction 

that the future of technology 

is moving in, perhaps?

--you know more 

about this than me 

-- well, I look -- I'd go back to this conference 

that he held I think it's 2006 or 2004 

called Confronting Gravity --

so he holds a conference I don't think he holds it on this island on his Island I think he holds it on uh St Thomas maybe um and this is entirely constant with an earlier meeting that he had with me where he wanted to know about what I was doing with mathematical physics and I have to say look why gravity --

Gravity is in some sense about the fabric of SpaceTime; 

and if there are things about the fabric of SpaceTime 

that you can unlock -- that are not contained in general relativity nor in the standard model how much power do you think is in that you saw what the neutron did to unlock the strong force um you can take out 

A City with a little bit of physics --

.....I'm going to turn this around, Chris, 

because we had a great Dynamic the last time, 

and I want to see you play with ideas too 

Um, tell me what you imagine might be 

The Power beyond the standard model in general relativity 

if we can already destroy all of humanity uh albe it with some com complications you have to engineer a bomb what do you think might be on the other side of the next great discoveries well I mean this gets into sci-fi and and speculation around that probably fits the next Marvel series they should use this as the as the tagline I would guess things to do with being able to move across space okay wormholes time if there are other higher Dimensions if that allows you to access if the Multiverse Theory holds uh if that allows you to access different universes and to move between them it might be Limitless power it could be Limitless power in the form of energy could be Limitless power in the form of travel um what if what if it allows you to control neutrinos in a new way I mean like people don't think about neutrinos it's very hard to send a particle through planet Earth unscathed but neutrinos do it right so in some sense if you were a a Sovereign Nation wouldn't you be focused on physics I mean here's the thing that I just don't understand I'll be totally honest about it who isn't interested in this stuff you have to be crazy to do what we're doing with physics we're running physics into the ground physics is you'll go to a Marvel movie about some guy trying to collect Rings or stones to get infinite power over the universe that's physics that's not Stones when you see somebody talking about Limitless power think physics don't think money think physics physics is the source of infinite power 

and is Jeffrey Epstein sufficiently versed in physics to know that he needs to be at the Forefront of this....? 

no but this is what we dealt with last time so kids if you haven't seen last time's episode I don't think it was Jeffrey Epstein I don't understand why we're so focused on this man why aren't we focused on on whatever created him like this is really weird we can't think take half of all the time you spend thinking about Jeffrey Epstein talking about Jeffrey Epstein everybody talking about and spend half of that time saying what do we what do we think about whoever was behind Jeffrey Epstein --

Whatever was behind Jeffrey Epstein is what I think cared about gravity cared about SpaceTime cared about physics and you get to use this supposed financia as a wedge to be able to to start to break this open well this is the thing if I'm looking you know there there's a picture of Lisa Randall at this conference nobody's worried about the sexual depravity of Lisa Randall this is stupid Lisa Randall is an amazing physicist he was interested in physics Jeffrey Epstein whatever he represented cared about physics 

-- does that make him 

more or less nervous? 

well you have to appreciate I have no idea why my country the United States of America doesn't care about physics anymore it canceled the SSC in 1993 superc conducting super collider it's bet the farm on string theory which is completely not worked out we're now this is the 40 so we're now in 2024 this is the 40th year anniversary of the green Schwarz anomaly cancellation which basically handed the keys uh to The Liquor Cabinet of physics over to the string theorists and they've been uh drunk on these stories about the first Super string Revolution the second Super string Revolution um all these things that they're going to do the theory of everything and they just had a uh panel discussion at the world Science Festival with Brian Green moderating between David Gross Edward Whitten and Andy Stringer and this thing is delusional why I don't know I mean physicists I know are calling me up and saying you're right Eric I can't believe how crazy this is because they're pretending that they didn't flush 40 years down the tubes um driving physics into a ditch in other news this episode is brought to you by Shopify the reason that you started a business is not to learn how to build a website or to code or to do inventory management it's to sell the thing that you care about and Shopify helps to move all of the other stuff out of the way so that you can focus on the thing that matters most that's why we use Shopify for new tonic so if you've ever bought a can of this from our website you've bought from Shopify also they power over 10% of all e-commerce in the United States including huge Brands like gym shark so if it's good enough for them it's probably good enough for you whether you're selling scented soap or offering outdoor outfits Shopify helps you sell at every stage of your business Shopify also helps you turn browsers into buyers with the internet's best converting checkout 36% better than other e-commerce platforms right now you can sign up for a $1 per month trial period by going to the link in the description below or heading to shopify.com mowis or lowercase that's shopify.com wisdom to grow your business no matter what stage you're in thank you very much for tuning in if you enjoyed that clip with Eric you will love the full length podcast which you can watch right here go on tap it
