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

And then after that, people like Pennsies and Wilson discovering the microwave and radio astronomy, Robert Jansky, all the way up until my colleagues today, some of whom I've interviewed, Adam Ries and Brian Schmidt and Barry Barish.

He wrote the foreword to my second book, Detecting Gravitational Waves, the Accelerating Expansion of the Universe Due to Dark Energy, First Nobel Prize in Astronomy in 2011. Followed up 2015 discovery of โ€“ 2017 discovered gravitational waves from inspiraling black holes. There are so many and there are so many. I'd be blessed to know many of them and to have them as my academic pedigree.

I think it's obvious why you have this particular affliction, and that's because you're used to doing experiment. You're a scientist. Your core identity, one of your core identities is a scientist, right? And you think of things scientifically. And as I said before, the scientific method, as we practice it, is based on hypothesis, observation, experimentation, iteration, right?

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.

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 โ€“ 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.
