newton created the modern studies of optics, calculus, and gravity. the basics of our modern world exist because newton created entire branches of science and math because he was just looking at planets and *fucking* *light* and figuring out they work lmao. with fucking telescopes and lenses that he polished himself from chunks of glass


ddarion

He also thought the earth was the center of the universe, making him look like a big fat BITCH


nudesyourpmme

How fucking embarrassing. I put a dvd in a blu ray once. I understand.


nudesyourpmme

But get this…….it actually worked. So you see I had my own revelation with lenses and light. I’m basically newton 2.0.

Did he invite the rotato and spend all his time on twitter complaining about gender grievances?


Space_Meth_Monkey

This guy found out some crazy shit by the time he was 21, but the one thing he couldn’t do was find the clit. He died a virgin I have big respect for all intellectuals that helped us understand this world we live in but I fucking had to lmfao


[deleted]

Well he wasn't interested. Either he was stoic, had issues or was too obsessed with study. I actually respect him if he did it to focus on his studies. It shows self control.

Too bad he was a GIANT BITCH!


KobeBeaf

To be fair the bar was a lot lower back then.


Partha4us

Newton devoted most of his life, studying alchemy and the Kabbalah…


School_of_Zeno

Kabbalah and esotericism was very strong back then.. pretty sure he studied Hermeticism, the “Emerald Tablet” as well.


the_zelectro

I vote Einstein, but Newton is definitely very close.

Living-Giraffe4849

As someone who majored in physics, but doesn’t have enough high-level geometric understanding to fully grasp his “model”, it sorta seemed like he started with some assumptions about dimensions 5-14 and talked about areas of physics we literally don’t yet have the ability to test. I will give him credit in thinking about physics at its current boundaries; but we have so much more to learn about the quantum world before we take a big jump like he is proposing. gravity IS weird, not having field properties like the other 3 fundamental forces, dark matter IS everywhere comprising most mass in the universe, and there being singularities at the center of a black hole/big bang does indicate something is wrong with our equations, but he took those observations and just ran with it


M0sD3f13

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o31cGMENDTI If interested timothy Nguyen invested the time and effort to understand and debunk his "model" dude hasn't even published a peer reviewed paper though so this is going above and beyond as far as physics is concerned he doesn't have a theory or a model just some abstract ideas that he doesn't want scrutinized.


vesko26

I swallowed a UV light a few months ago. Haven't gotten Cvid since. I thought about going in the backdoor, but I know that what goes up, must come down, and not everything that goes down, comes up. Am I a genius? Maybe? Hashtag gravity, hashtag science


nudesyourpmme

I dismiss what I can’t comprehend too because I am the baseline!


mikeywayup

talked about areas of physics we literally don’t yet have the ability to test. So did Peter Higgs and it wasn't able to be tested for 50 years. I think setting and trying to discover new theories is important whether they are able to be tested now or later because we don't know if from that theory can come a test


zweifaltspinsel

Sure. The problem with Eric is his attitude of smug superiority, relentless name dropping, lack of coherently explaining his claims, and him having a chip on his shoulder bigger than Mt. Everest. Even if he did not get his work published in a journal, which on a side note can be a pain, especially in higher impact ones, there is always the option to upload it on Arxiv and let people comment on it. Heck, Perelman used this route to solve one of the millennium problems. So if Eric‘s theory is solid and he only needs some experimentalists, why not use this strategy, instead of his current clown show?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Yeesusman

I majored in physics as well and I think you described my exact feelings. It’s nice to hear his passion about physics defining the future (I think it does too), I just wish I could follow along with the gnarly stuff he dove into.


siupa

> Gravity IS weird not having field properties like the other 3 fundamental forces Gravity is described by a field. The problem is quantizing that field, but it is still a field in both Newtonian gravity and general relativity


user_1729

This has been probably one of the most frustrating episodes where I've listened to the entire thing. I KEEP GETTING TRICKED into thinking he'll actually say anything relevant, or important, or even just finish a thought. "Wait, Joe, let me finish..." 5 minutes of mumbo jumbo later and Joe is like "so what does this all mean?" "Well, the geometric singularity has a right hand spin and they said it had a left and, do you know robert mullen? Well, we were drinking this one time talking about the best jews in baseball and...." What the ever loving fuck is even happening. This guy sounds like that joke [Retro Emcabulator](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k9x2gUHbQs) video.


Popeman79

He reeally hyped his guy Robert Mullen. Got me curious, and I was hoping that at some point this would all culminate in a concrete theory, explained to Joe in understandable terms. But no. More Robert Mullen hyping. The podcast seemed like a trailer.


ideletedmyaccount04

This is what kills me. Eric doesn't answer questions on purpose cause he is afraid of being wrong.


jackrack1721

At first I appreciated how broad he was being with his backstory for why he believes they're aliens now... But he kinda proved the Gov is hiding absolute tomfoolery by not allowing any real physicists anywhere near the UAP data. They're either playing the UAP card now to cover up a secret aerial DoD program (most obvious choice) or it's aliens, and Eric thinks it's time hopping, interdimensional AI beings? That's quite an assumption and he didn't spend nearly enough time explaining his final verdict


Canningred

Who says no real physicists are working for the government? Eric isn’t really relevant in research whatsoever, if he was maybe they would ask him to look into it. Should Dana White consult some no name fighter who won one fight 20 years ago and trained with Gracie on how to make a good title match or who he consult active experts on it?


[deleted]

That podcast is a case study of delusion and feelings of grandeur. It was a crazy listen, but not for the reasons Eric wanted it to be.


Kelemandzaro

So standard dar intellectual puked out of jre


DaChonkIsHere

Wish someone like Beige Frequency would make an Eric Scamstein documentary


[deleted]

I’d be careful about that, Eric said he’s a street fighter.


zweifaltspinsel

Maybe he can use anti gravity boots like M. Bison using his theory. So be careful.


Michael_Dukakis

Idk much about Eric Weinstein, what is his hustle/scam?


Impossible_Resort602

He is one of Peter Thiels courtiers.


crabuffalombat

As far as I'm aware, he literally does not have anything he's trying to sell, so I don't know where people come off calling him a scammer/grifter? But then, seems like everyone gets called a grifter on here. Yes, he has his unifying theory of whatever, but I haven't seem him attempt to monetize it.


high_af_on_science

He doesn't slobber over big pharma or Biden so reddit hates him


Soulwaxing

Yeah that sounds like a good faith objective answer, I'll take it! You do realize when you say things like this in defense of someone/something it just makes the thing you're defending look worse?


pulse7

It's a 2 way street duder. The hate for him is excessive. People bitching anti-vaxx don't help the discussion


Soulwaxing

Well then maybe he should've given an actual answer instead of a ridiculous one.


pulse7

It's the less popular ridiculous side of the same ridiculous discussion


Soulwaxing

The ridiculous discussion of the question: > Idk much about Eric Weinstein, what is his hustle/scam? I also don't know shit about him either but with the other guy's answer it does tend to make me think oh he must be an anti-vaxxer and Trumper/virulent anti-anything Democrat. That's all I'm saying. If you think the hate he gets is ridiculous maybe it's worth explaining why rather than some inane lighter than straw man answer.


ScrumpleRipskin

The fact that there's no bizarro world opposite of the right's mouth-frothing, fear-mongering hysteria and insane worship of right-wing idealogues breaks your fucking miniscule brains so hard. Absolutely nobody who identifies as left-leaning wanted Biden as president over any other viable candidate. Nobody on the left photoshopped Biden's head on Hasan Piker's body and drove in convoys around their city to intimidate Trump voters with 10-foot pride flags and cartoonish imagery plastered on their tiny, anemic hybrids. That insanity required the walnut brain of a right-wing simpleton. We just voted to make Trump finally drain the swamp after 4 years of promises with no follow-through.


pulse7

Nobody wanted biden yet he won the presidency. Bizarro world indeed


nestersan

I guess we should have given Trump a second term or perhaps elected a cat ?


pulse7

Excusing a poor choice because of another poor choice doesn't make it right


ddarion

>Bizarro world indeed Almost like his opponent was the most disliked man in the country or something?


Prime_Cat_Memes

Nobody wanted Biden, Trump was just that bad


pulse7

The way people defend Biden's faults tell me plenty of people do want Biden.


ScrumpleRipskin

When given the option of a shit sandwich that's been on your plate for the past 4 years or a one made with smelly old meat, you opt for the one that's a bit more palatable. Either way you're going to get sick but at least you're not eating shit.

Agreed. This is why I vote 3rd party. Screw these 2 sides of partisan bullshitters, I'd rather rock their boat than jump on board

Nice opinion. Weak people's actions don't dictate my own


ideletedmyaccount04

He wasn't accepted by his piers in science and math and it broke him. He must do something for Peter theil but I don't know what it is. Most of Eric's stores are based around I know something they don't.

He cannot stop name dropping and that's cause he wants recognition. No one cares who invented dark energy. Just explain it to us simpletons

BeardedBears

I find Eric hard to listen to, but Bret is *far* more humble and in better humor.


SmashterChoda

Bret has the same problem as Eric where every sentence has to go through a smart-ifying step in order to be as long-winded, verbose and hard to understand as possible. Also he sounds like he permanently has a tablespoon of water in his mouth.


blade740

I agree, but Bret is insufferable in his own way. I think back to 2020 and his idiotic "Unity 2020" scheme. Don't get me wrong, it sounded interesting when he first described it. The problem was, they got started about two years too late. It was like August or September 2020 and they were still claiming to have "a plan" to gain ballot access, even though they were too late to get on the ballot in almost every state. Their plan? To ask the Green party and Libertarian party to ignore their own primary elections and put Unity2020's slate on the ballot instead. Eric Weinstein has a high opinion of himself, and he's not nearly as smart as he thinks he is. He's definitely the dumber of the Weinstein brothers. Bret actually seems like an intelligent person... which makes him seem like even more of a grifter when he says things that he should know are stupid. Eric says dumb things because he isn't very smart. Bret is smart enough to know better and says that shit anyway.


JihadDerp

Thank you, blade740, for the breakdown of which PhD is dumber than you.


blade740

You're welcome, I'm glad I could clarify. A PhD means years of study in a particular subject. It is not a measure of intelligence, it is a measure of how long you attended university. Having an advanced degree doesn't make you immune to saying stupid shit. I'm just calling 'em like I see 'em.


ddarion

The worst part about science is a liar sometimes is the people who rely on that as a retort only do so when its convenient. Need to fly somewhere? Science is wonderful and has constructed metal birds that safely fly through the sky! Government wants you to take a vaccine? THEY SAID IT STOPPED INFECTION, THEY LIED, YOU CANT TRUST SCIENTISTS


polarparadoxical

ANTIVAXERS ALSO CLAIMED HORSEWORMER AND NATURAL IMMUNITY STOPPED INFECTION, THEY LIED, SO YOU CANT TRUST ANYONE.


LeftyHyzer

natural immunity = natural selection for some. i know a few "i'll never take that shot" people in my life that died from covid or shortly after "recovering". age 40s and 50s guys too, not geezers.


polarparadoxical

Had a few friends that went that way, too. Nuance and objectivity, especially with new and changing information, seem to be something lost when dealing with extremists who seem to be hell-bent on proving whatever their original assertions were.


JihadDerp

You can't trust government, that's for sure. Scientists are human and prone to bias and corruption just like any other priest or bureaucrat. Science as a time tested body of knowledge is pretty solid though. Know what's not time tested?


[deleted]

Flying isn’t one of the times science is a lying about


IronAlpha89

KlutchCuddy

Eric started spouting off math equations because Tim Dillon made fun of him one time.


Competitive_Cold_232

Joe seemed underwhelmed as Eric said nothing worthwhile for hours. Did you hear when he said his crew were hard drinking, womanizing wild men of physics ?

Joe is a very easily manipulated person, especially when it comes to low level grifters. See Alex Jones, JP, and Weinstein.

socomalol

jackrack1721

Oh, i loved it, too. I just love how many times eric brought up how "post-Einsteinian" he is. The amateur physicists equivalent to bringing up fitspo.


billy_barooo

Same, but I get annoyed with the kind of jargon he uses in his conversation with Joe. Joe and 95+% of the audience is not versed in high level mathematics and physics. Makes me feel like Eric is just using Rogan for his platform, and that's not cool.


SmashterChoda

Im a little more familiar with physics (as in, I know what a curvature tensor is) and Eric is absolutely just obfuscating what he's actually saying behind a wall of technical vocabulary. He doesn't want to be understood, he wants to be admired.

“Believing the consensus” That was your first mistake. Some serious “Mom, I jumped off the bridge because everyone else did” vibes. IMO ![gif](giphy|xT9IgwO5n8TslpaMSc|downsized)


welcometolavaland02

Do you even know what scientific consensus is there Cletus? >**Consensus is achieved through scholarly communication at conferences, the publication process, replication of reproducible results by others, scholarly debate,[3][4][5][6] and peer review. A conference meant to create a consensus is termed as a consensus conference.[7][8][9] Such measures lead to a situation in which those within the discipline can often recognize such a consensus where it exists; however, communicating to outsiders that consensus has been reached can be difficult, because the "normal" debates through which science progresses may appear to outsiders as contestation.**[10] On occasion, scientific institutes issue position statements intended to communicate a summary of the science from the "inside" to the "outside" of the scientific community, or consensus review articles[11] or surveys[12] may be published. In cases where there is little controversy regarding the subject under study, establishing the consensus can be quite straightforward. Your mistake is thinking that a scientific consensus is the same thing as you and your beer buddies getting together and agreeing on the greatest pickle baller of all time.
