up behind my trailer one 10 minutes ago
all right no more pausing we imagine a future
and our imaginings horrifiers
they won't fear it
until they understand it
and they won't understand it
Theory will take you only so far
no if we can be trusted
such a weapon
but we have no choice
damn
[Music]
this is gonna be one
ever going to tell the truth
about what's Happening Here
oh man this looks so [ __ ] good these visuals are incredible
[Music]
that's fine man he even looks like him I think this is meant to be fine oh this guy but I think
it's this guy uh isn't Matt Damon meant to be in this so they're obviously holding some
no fireman's probably going to be played by a famous actor so probably like uh uh Matt Damon
which would be a fun story arc of like his whole career because of like um you know when he played
Good Will Hunting right the young genius and now he's you know going to be Richard Feynman Nobel
prize-winning genius I really love the quote where he said Theory only takes you so far
so yeah what did I say 2023 so it's literally coming out next year I thought it might have
been 24. 23. man that's exciting that's so close my birthday month as well so um
Theory will only take you so far this is very true All Right theory you can you can come up
with all kinds of things in theory and what separates physics for mathematics is evidence
and experiment okay like uh if you know much about physics and math you'd know that you know physics
math is the language of physics right and math may or may not be the language of the universe
but physics if you imagine like as this giant round circle okay physics is a small part of math
and the it is just math it's the same as math with the guiding principle of you will be guided
by evidence that's like the axiomatic Assumption of physics you know like follow the evidence the
evidence will uh take you to new to greener pastures right like uh it's a theory you know
theoretical physicists if you want to go into theoretical physics you've got to do it's just
physics right you can't do physics without both sides so people are wanting to separate
them all it's nonsense it's silly I myself am a PhD student in theoretical astrophysics but you
can't do theoretical stuff without also being Guided by experimental stuff so I do computer
simulations of uh looking at the universe and mess around with them right to try and figure out new
things about the universe and in speaking of this let me actually just tell you about something I'm
making myself called it's the first post Quantum VPN in the world and I've just started creating it
because uh the US uh government acts Intelligence Officers are saying uh powerful quantum computers
are the single largest uh economic national security threat in the history of Western
civilization and Powerful ones are going to be built very soon in a few years and so this post
Quantum cryptography stuff which this has is going to be really really important because powerful
economics with computers are threatening you know captioning our decrypt later attacks right hackers
could be stealing your data right now to decrypt in a few years by writing Shaw's algorithm once
they're powerful enough to do that which will break all standards of encryption currently on
the internet so please come protect yourself there's a seven day free trial and help me out
I'm trying to venture into entrepreneurial stuff and I you know coming from a physics background
um what else was there in this trailer I wanna I kind of want to watch it again because the
visuals are just spectacular anyone anyone else a fan of uh peaky blinders when they announced
this I thought it was perfect I I remember they announced it before they said who was playing
um Oppenheimer and I remember thinking oh man like he literally even looks like Oppenheimer it's got
to be him for sure I remember posting a picture and then they announced it I was like I got it
and he's such a great actor I'm glad he's getting a chance of being uh you know front
front man he's he's brilliant piggy blinders is brilliant and obviously they're going to
have that famous line the famous uh speech he did you know I become death when he read the
what's it called the bad or whatever the Indian uh religious thing I don't know much about it but
I at times I look into it because it's fun but um he was Oppenheimer was famously very into that uh
I don't think he believed in the religion but he was fascinated by it and he I think he read a lot
of into it and that's why he was able to recite it word for word and he tells that little story
um you know the prince turns to the to the princess um is it and says I am become death the
destroyer of worlds and he tells the whole story there's so much to be said here and there's a lot
of people who who look at this man and think how could someone so intelligent be so stupid
but I don't look at it so simplistically as a lot of humans do I think uh these people at
this time were forced to act you know a lot of people were scared that they're gonna be beaten
to uh creating these things and uh they'd be used against them so the only way to protect themselves
they figured and the world potentially was to Pioneer ahead and create these things it's a
trolley cart problem if you've ever come across those you know do you kill a few people or do
you kill many people and if you have the option to to change course do you do you move the lever
by moving the lever you're now at fault for you you know you can potentially Be
You Know You're the Reason these people died but if you didn't move the lever and you did
nothing all these people are going to die this is the world would not be the same
few people laughed a few people cried most people were silent
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture the bhagavad-gita
Vishnu
trying to persuade Prince that he should do his duty and
to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says now I am become death the destroyer of worlds
I suppose we all thought that one way or another yeah extremely heavy stuff
until they've used it isn't it so amazing this uh how it's such a parallel to what's happening
right now with all the AI stuff right with uh chat jbt you know it's kind of ringing true
but in a sense uh I think about this this line of dialogue is saying it's not quite true they
won't understand until they use it I I feel like you know with what's happened with chat jbt it
kind of disproves this right just because a lot of people have used it doesn't mean they understand
anything with what's going on but I think what he's really getting at here in this line is they
won't even be able to imagine what you're talking about and what we're dealing with until you give
them something to to play with and then at least they have some idea of what's going on right uh I
think with this bomb the level of energy uh that you're dealing with you know famously because of
Einstein revealed that you know the energy Mass equivalence equals mc squared you could get a
huge amount of energy from a very tiny bit of mass you know a tiny little bit of mass times
the speed of light 300 000 kilometers per second squared and you know you convert that to energy
that's that's a lot a shitload of energy right and that is a nuclear bomb there's many iterations um
and I think a tools people saw they they couldn't even imagine why is there so much sun stuff like
you might have realized this looks like the sun uh well because what you're doing with the bomb
is you know nuclear processes you're dealing uh with like nuclear fission nuclear fusion later
on with hydrogen bombs um so you're trying to do stuff that happens in the sun you're trying
to try to recreate you know the processes of you know the the main furnaces of our universe right
which is so it's really beautiful that he put that in here take you only so far I like that
line but I also think it's really important to emphasize in this movie that uh theory is also
incredibly important we couldn't have got here without Theory right Theory to experiment took a
lot less time than zero to Theory do you see what I'm saying right from nothing to understanding
energy equivalence that step is huge and it took a long [ __ ] time right we've been around for
a long time but then to go from the theory understanding how much energy you get out
of a little bit of Mass to experiment is not that long it wasn't very long at all
and so it you it's not enough to just do Theory theory is hugely important all right so don't
don't underplay Theory beautiful all right I reckon we'll leave the video there my friends
