Charting the Architecture of the Universe & Human Life | Dr. Brian Keating

Well, think about this. If I have a hypothesis that certain people can detect sunspots, right? So I want to have a control group and I want to have a variable, right? So I want to be able to contrast and see if it's statistically significant, right? And I want a p-hack, right? So what do I have to do then? Well, I have to control the number of sunspots. Okay, sorry.

I'm not – you used to say you weren't around at the creation – at the design meeting for Human Beasts.

It's not good. You don't want to do it. Don't do it. Your colleague at Stanford, Guido Embens, won the Nobel Prize in economics in 2021. And he's done a tremendous amount of work in this, confounding variables, p-hacking. Where do these things manifest themselves in physics? Well, high-temperature superconductors. This goes back to the late 80s. I remember graduating from high school.

There was a discovery of room temperature, what's called cold fusion. That was one thing that would create also limitless energy, too cheap to meter from just using hydrogen and from seawater and palladium and platinum.

It turned out to be bogus and it turned out to be – the data were manipulated in such a way that we would say probably fall into the realm of p-hacking, which may not have been maliciously intended. But the goal, the output of it is certainly a driving incentive that influences people to do things that are unethical. And that happens at all levels. And we saw it. I saw it in my own experiment.

not necessarily accusing my colleagues of being unethical. We were searching and we still are searching for what caused the Big Bang. We're going to get back to your question of how this comes, because I think I can help. But that plate's still spinning in the background. Yeah, it's still spinning. Like a planet. It's spinning like our solar system, right?

But the quarry was so big to unravel what caused the Big Bang to bang, what ignited the spark that became our universe. It's at least, it was called when we announced the discovery at Harvard, on St. Patrick's Day 2014. World News covered it, front page everywhere, New York Times, CNN, every single outlet covered it. It was called one of the greatest discoveries of all time.
