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

It's not supposed to be unto itself.

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

And if there is no vacuum, then there is nothing at rest because the vacuum is going to be in constant quantum tumult.

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

And then you get to the point which is something that is rest therefore is unphysical, therefore it is unnatural.

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

It took me a long time to figure out what the hell.

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

So what you're trying to say is that if the universe at its deepest level is a quantum mechanical system in which there is no ability to create vacuum in a naive sense, the vacuum that we talk about is not the vacuum that people naively think.

The Joe Rogan Experience

Therefore, any mathematics that references anything that is zero or still or whatever is invalid.

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

I don't know what to tell you about this because it's like if I say something about a sphere, you might say, hey, Eric, what is the thickness of your sphere?

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

All the points unit distance away from the origin.

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

And I'd say, it has no thickness.

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

And you'd say, show me one thing in the universe that doesn't have thickness.

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

And then I'd say, well, wait a second.

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

I'm talking to you about a mathematical structure that exists as math.

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

You're like, I don't want to hear about math that isn't immediately referenced to physics.

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

First of all, that's not how this game goes.

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

The beginning of imagination.

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

I mean, if I have a picture from AI of a woman that doesn't exist...

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

But you can't tell the fact that that was generated by an AI.

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

Are you going to say that that graphics file doesn't exist?

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

No, the graphics file exists.

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

Mathematics has a physically independent structure.
