The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

you know, the conjugate wave coming back, you know, if you do something like a garden hose that's affixed to the wall, the wall, it'll hit the wall and come back or something.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

So what Terrence is talking about

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

And you could do this where we could drop like let's say six stones in precise places in water and then using super slow-mo watch what happens as these waves in precisely placed places run into each other.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

Because really what physics is is waves in collisions.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

So then what Terrence does is he has in Blender some means of bringing up.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

platonic solids that are not the usual.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

So I bought some of these platonic solids from Amazon and you see that they're all extremely Cartesian.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

They're made up of flat faces, our best attempt to do flat faces.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

Terrence says, I don't think that that has to be the case.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

If you generate these things from this pattern, and he focuses on the tetrahedron and an octahedral structure.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

Okay, so what that is is a curve linear structure.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

with spherical, and it's not actually hyperbolic.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

Those are going to be positive curvature, not negative curvature.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

This is negative curvature.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

No, that's going to be positive curvature.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

Yeah.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

I think it's positive curvature because those are going to be parts of spheres.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

Yes, but negative curvature would be more like a Pringles chip where the principal axis of curvature went in different directions.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

So I think it's not negative curvature.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2171 - Eric Weinstein & Terrence Howard

No, what you mean by negative space, negative curvature and negative space are different concepts.
