The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

Imagine that there are ten perpendicular dimensions called symmetric two tensors.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

Four of those are spatial directions and six of them temporal.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

Or four of them are temporal and six of them spatial.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

I can't tell you one of those two.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

Okay.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

But there are additionally either four or six extra time dimensions or six or four space dimensions.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

We have to gain access to break out of flatland.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

We live in flatland.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

We don't know we live in flatland.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

And I know what that technically the name is fiber dimension, what it is.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

We have to gain access to it, which is discovering that somebody gives you an obsidian rock that has a property that you've never seen before called pinch to zoom.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

So I need to make the distance to the nearest star small so I can go with reasonable speed.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

Or instantaneously.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

I don't need instantaneously.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

If I have something four light years away and I can make it 100 feet away, I can walk 100 feet easily enough.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

I can push something.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

So the idea is if I can gain access to the fiber...

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

the distance becomes relatively immaterial.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

So if you think that these physicists are working on this and all these... No, I didn't say that I think... Okay.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2503 - Eric Weinstein

I'm saying if anybody... Is working on that.
