The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

I believe that time is multidimensional.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

The only dimension that has an ordering is one dimension.

So in other words, if I say to you, Joe has two cigars, Eric has none.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

Who has more cigars?

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

Joe, okay?

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

Joe has two cigars, but Eric has three glasses.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

And no cigars.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

Joe has one glass and two cigars.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

Who has more stuff?

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

Well, now it's not clear because Eric has more glasses than Joe.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

But Joe has more cigars.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

So in two dimensions, we no longer can say this is better than that for things where you have more of one and less of another.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

Okay.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

Time is like that.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

In one dimension, there's an arrow.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

There's an ordering.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

We call it, it's like a well-ordered set or something.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

In two dimensions, all bets are off.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

And two and higher.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

The number of dimensions in total is going to be either five or seven.
