They can never go back and sue whoever sold them the wrong ideas.

What about regarding multiverse?

What do you think is happening with the double slit experiment?

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

That's a fundamental question about quantum mechanics that we don't fully understand.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

So the debate goes back to the beginning of quantum mechanics.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

I visited in August 2025, I attended a conference at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, beautiful place.

As I entered the conference room, the auditorium,

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

I realized that it looks familiar because that's the place where some of the most famous conferences on quantum mechanics were held when Niels Bohr was around.

And I sat on the bench, the wooden bench.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

They told me, oh, you're sitting exactly where Wolfgang Pauli sat 95 years ago.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

And I said, the only thing I could think when they said that is,

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

this bench is extremely uncomfortable.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

Because, and I thought to myself, what kind of quality of life did they have back then if they were happy with this bench?

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

Because you can make a much more comfortable chair right now.

So why would they sit on this wood?

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

But apparently they did not have

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

high quality life back then and those distinguished physicists were sitting on this wooden bench and but i would trade everything i have for going back 95 years because it was a fun time of realizing something completely new about the physical reality nobody else knew before

And that is illustrated by the debate between Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
637: Basement #008: Avi Loeb | 3I Atlas, Alien Craft, and Suppressed Research

Albert Einstein thought, oh, it's business as usual.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

We just need to find some parameters perhaps that we are missing that would allow us to forecast how a quantum system behaves.
