WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.840 You know, I was listening to Brian Cox recently, 00:00:01.860 --> 00:00:03.680 and he said something about an anomaly that really 00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:07.019 got me thinking. You know, when someone like 00:00:07.019 --> 00:00:10.019 him flags something like that, well, you kind 00:00:10.019 --> 00:00:12.140 of got to pay attention. Right. When a leading 00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:14.580 physicist expresses real concern, it might mean 00:00:14.580 --> 00:00:16.640 we're about to encounter something really new. 00:00:16.780 --> 00:00:19.280 Yeah. And in this case, it looks like quantum 00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:20.960 computers might have picked up something moving 00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:24.059 faster than light. Faster than light. Yes. Sounds 00:00:24.059 --> 00:00:26.260 crazy, right? But we've got some excerpts here 00:00:26.260 --> 00:00:29.460 detailing this experiment. And it's a... Well, 00:00:29.460 --> 00:00:31.199 it's pretty mind -bending stuff. So we're looking 00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:33.259 at a document about this potential breakthrough 00:00:33.259 --> 00:00:36.100 and what it could mean, huh? Exactly. And today, 00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:38.159 you and I are going to dive into these excerpts 00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:40.539 to try and wrap our heads around this discovery. 00:00:40.780 --> 00:00:43.259 Sounds good. What could this mean for physics, 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.579 for time, for everything, really? Well, first 00:00:47.579 --> 00:00:50.340 we have to try to grasp what this anomaly actually 00:00:50.340 --> 00:00:53.000 is and then explore what it might mean. Right. 00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:55.520 OK. Got it. Let's start with the basics. OK. 00:00:55.539 --> 00:00:57.899 Speed limits in the universe. All right. We always 00:00:57.899 --> 00:01:00.759 hear about the speed of light. But why is that 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.979 speed so important? It's important because Einstein's 00:01:03.979 --> 00:01:07.219 theory of relativity basically says that the 00:01:07.219 --> 00:01:09.579 speed of light is the ultimate speed limit. Right. 00:01:09.739 --> 00:01:11.859 OK. It's the cosmic speed limit for anything 00:01:11.859 --> 00:01:15.400 with mass. So anything with like. substance can't 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:17.640 go faster than light. Right. If it did, it would 00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.420 totally break how we understand cause and effect. 00:01:20.620 --> 00:01:23.640 So it's not just a suggestion. It's like a fundamental 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.019 rule. It really is. OK. But what about things 00:01:26.019 --> 00:01:29.500 without mass? Ah, now that's interesting. Yeah. 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.540 Because particles like photons, the basic units 00:01:32.540 --> 00:01:35.920 of light. They have no mass so they travel at 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:38.099 that speed. They have to yeah It's kind of built 00:01:38.099 --> 00:01:40.760 into the fabric of space and time itself space 00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.359 time, right? Okay So that's the rule right everything 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.019 we know with mass has to follow this speed limit, 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:48.540 right? So what happened in this experiment? What 00:01:48.540 --> 00:01:50.799 did they see that's making everyone freak out? 00:01:51.609 --> 00:01:53.849 Well, the document talks about an experiment 00:01:53.849 --> 00:01:56.549 they did with a quantum computer operating at 00:01:56.549 --> 00:01:58.989 super low temperatures, like near absolute zero. 00:01:59.069 --> 00:02:01.650 Oh, wow. And they saw this weird fluctuation 00:02:01.650 --> 00:02:03.750 in the system. So quantum computers doing their 00:02:03.750 --> 00:02:06.609 quantum thing. Yeah, but this fluctuation, this 00:02:06.609 --> 00:02:08.530 one appeared to be moving faster than light. 00:02:09.170 --> 00:02:11.550 No way. Yeah, the scientists obviously didn't 00:02:11.550 --> 00:02:13.789 believe it at first. You'd think it was a mistake 00:02:13.789 --> 00:02:15.509 Oh, yeah, they thought it was an equipment error 00:02:15.509 --> 00:02:18.530 or just bad data, right? Because that kind of 00:02:18.530 --> 00:02:20.770 result just throws everything out the window 00:02:20.770 --> 00:02:22.949 It really does but the thing is they ran the 00:02:22.949 --> 00:02:25.669 tests again and again different conditions same 00:02:25.669 --> 00:02:28.270 result Really? Yep, something really strange 00:02:28.270 --> 00:02:30.949 was going on in that quantum computer faster 00:02:30.949 --> 00:02:34.770 than light. Yeah That's where things get a little 00:02:34.770 --> 00:02:37.180 sci -fi right a little bit. Yeah And then there's 00:02:37.180 --> 00:02:40.340 this mention of tachyons. Tachyons, yeah. What 00:02:40.340 --> 00:02:43.780 are those exactly? OK, so tachyons are theoretical 00:02:43.780 --> 00:02:45.439 particles. We haven't actually found them yet. 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:48.240 OK. But they're thought to have some really bizarre 00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:52.280 properties. OK. Like normal matter, it speeds 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.400 up when it gains energy, right? Right. But tachyons 00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:57.419 are the opposite. They get faster as they lose 00:02:57.419 --> 00:02:59.500 energy. So the less energy they have, the faster 00:02:59.500 --> 00:03:01.639 they go. Exactly. And they have a lower limit, 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.300 too, the speed of light. Huh. So they're like 00:03:05.300 --> 00:03:07.699 the opposite of everything we know about how 00:03:07.699 --> 00:03:10.360 things move in a way Yeah, and this is where 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.539 it gets even more strange because they would 00:03:12.539 --> 00:03:14.979 always be moving faster than light, right? Right, 00:03:15.219 --> 00:03:18.000 so they wouldn't experience time like we do at 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.900 all. So their timeline would be What backwards 00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:24.159 potentially? Yeah, the idea is they could send 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:27.020 information back in time. Whoa. Okay, so the 00:03:27.020 --> 00:03:31.740 big question is Did those scientists accidentally 00:03:31.740 --> 00:03:35.310 create something? that acts like a Tachyon. Exactly. 00:03:35.389 --> 00:03:37.810 Did they open a window for information to flow 00:03:37.810 --> 00:03:40.689 from the future? Or maybe even to the future? 00:03:40.830 --> 00:03:44.550 That's heavy stuff. So this name, Tachyon Godwave 00:03:44.550 --> 00:03:47.789 Generator, that's in the excerpts. Is that a 00:03:47.789 --> 00:03:50.629 real scientific term? Not really. The document 00:03:50.629 --> 00:03:52.969 uses it more as a descriptive term, you know? 00:03:53.270 --> 00:03:55.169 Because we just don't have the language for this 00:03:55.169 --> 00:03:56.870 yet. It's like a placeholder for something we 00:03:56.870 --> 00:03:59.169 can't quite explain yet. And the document talks 00:03:59.169 --> 00:04:01.569 about something even stranger than faster than 00:04:01.569 --> 00:04:04.240 light movement. What's that? The computer seemed 00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.340 to respond to commands before they were given. 00:04:06.699 --> 00:04:09.039 Hold on, what? Yeah, like it knew what the scientists 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.580 were going to do before they did it. How is that 00:04:11.580 --> 00:04:13.979 even possible? Well, the document doesn't really 00:04:13.979 --> 00:04:15.719 have an answer for that. So this is completely 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:19.079 beyond our current physics. Seems like it. So 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:21.839 maybe, maybe the computer was accessing information 00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.199 from the future, somehow. Through these castions. 00:04:24.500 --> 00:04:27.040 Maybe. We just don't know. That would be wild. 00:04:27.180 --> 00:04:28.980 It would. You know someone must have noticed 00:04:28.980 --> 00:04:32.709 this, right? Governments. Big tech companies, 00:04:33.009 --> 00:04:35.089 they must be all over this. Oh, absolutely. Something 00:04:35.089 --> 00:04:37.449 this big. They'd be very interesting. Especially 00:04:37.449 --> 00:04:40.089 DARPA, NASA, places like that. Right. And you 00:04:40.089 --> 00:04:43.050 can bet Google and IBM are watching, too. They're 00:04:43.050 --> 00:04:45.149 all investing heavily in quantum computing, right? 00:04:45.230 --> 00:04:47.209 Yeah. The potential is huge, so they're definitely 00:04:47.209 --> 00:04:50.230 keeping tabs on anything this groundbreaking. 00:04:50.470 --> 00:04:51.750 Makes you wonder if they're already ahead of 00:04:51.750 --> 00:04:54.129 what they're telling us. Oh, there's probably 00:04:54.129 --> 00:04:56.970 a lot going on behind closed doors. Yeah. Classified 00:04:56.970 --> 00:04:59.790 experiments, black budgets, the whole nine yards. 00:05:00.009 --> 00:05:04.209 The document? even wonders if those strange signals 00:05:04.209 --> 00:05:06.810 and space -time fluctuations we've seen might 00:05:06.810 --> 00:05:09.889 be linked to secret experiments. And what if 00:05:09.889 --> 00:05:12.089 we're already experiencing the effects of these? 00:05:12.870 --> 00:05:16.230 What was it? Taconic disturbances. Yeah, that's 00:05:16.230 --> 00:05:18.910 the one. Yeah. Kind of creepy to think our reality 00:05:18.910 --> 00:05:21.490 could be influenced by something messing with 00:05:21.490 --> 00:05:24.569 time. It is a disturbing thought. What if advanced 00:05:24.569 --> 00:05:27.350 civilizations or even future humans are trying 00:05:27.350 --> 00:05:30.009 to contact us this way? Like sending messages 00:05:30.009 --> 00:05:32.490 through these quantum anomalies. Maybe. It's 00:05:32.490 --> 00:05:34.329 possible. So is this faster than light thing 00:05:34.329 --> 00:05:37.269 just an accident? Or a deliberate message. We 00:05:37.269 --> 00:05:38.910 don't know. It's kind of scary to think that 00:05:38.910 --> 00:05:41.209 once information starts leaking through time, 00:05:41.730 --> 00:05:43.810 there's no way to contain it. Right. What happens 00:05:43.810 --> 00:05:46.449 when those ripples reach us in the present? And 00:05:46.449 --> 00:05:48.110 Stephen Hawking warned about this, right? Yeah, 00:05:48.290 --> 00:05:50.730 he said time travel could be really dangerous. 00:05:50.970 --> 00:05:53.829 Cause paradoxes, even destroy the universe. He 00:05:53.829 --> 00:05:56.009 thought it could break causality completely. 00:05:56.790 --> 00:05:59.689 That's terrifying. It is. And even if we could 00:05:59.689 --> 00:06:02.290 manipulate time, would we even know how to handle 00:06:02.290 --> 00:06:04.230 it? That's the question, isn't it? Do we have 00:06:04.230 --> 00:06:07.149 the wisdom to use that kind of power? Especially 00:06:07.149 --> 00:06:09.180 governments. You know, they love their secret. 00:06:09.339 --> 00:06:11.399 Oh, yeah, they keep things under wraps all the 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.160 time, especially big discoveries. Imagine the 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.379 secrets they'd keep about time travel. Oh, it 00:06:16.379 --> 00:06:18.500 would be the biggest secret of all time. And 00:06:18.500 --> 00:06:20.319 imagine what they could do. Control elections, 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.240 predict the stock market. The power would be 00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:26.420 unbelievable. The document mentions those anomalies 00:06:26.420 --> 00:06:28.379 in the stock market. Maybe that's it, you know? 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.560 Maybe it's possible if they could predict or 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.459 even slightly influence the future, think of 00:06:34.459 --> 00:06:37.240 the advantage they would have. It's disturbing 00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:39.600 to think about what if they've been using this 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.399 tech for who knows how long. And that's just 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.660 governments. What about corporations? Imagine 00:06:44.660 --> 00:06:46.459 what they could do with that kind of power. It's 00:06:46.459 --> 00:06:48.560 a whole other level of conspiracy theory. It 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.459 is, but it's not impossible, right? True. And 00:06:51.459 --> 00:06:53.740 then the document brings up something else. What's 00:06:53.740 --> 00:06:56.480 that? Paranormal activity. OK. It suggests there 00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.939 might be a connection between Tashians and, you 00:06:59.939 --> 00:07:03.680 know. ghosts, UFOs, that kind of stuff. Ah, so 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:05.680 we're going into the really strange stuff now. 00:07:05.860 --> 00:07:07.779 Yeah, but it's interesting to think about, right? 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.879 It is. So how do tachyons and ghosts connect? 00:07:11.019 --> 00:07:13.160 Well, the idea is that maybe these signals from 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.639 the future or different points in time are causing 00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.480 these strange experiences. Like echoes from other 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:22.560 timelines bleeding into ours. Exactly. Like maybe 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.620 deja vu is just a glimpse of a slightly different 00:07:25.620 --> 00:07:28.079 timeline. That's a cool way to look at it. It 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:29.980 is. And then there's the question of ancient 00:07:29.980 --> 00:07:32.480 civilizations. What about them? The document 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.920 wonders if maybe they encountered these temporal 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:37.360 disturbances too. Interesting. Maybe they couldn't 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.120 handle it. Maybe that's why some of them just 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.399 vanished. You mean they stumbled onto something 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:43.240 they didn't understand and it wiped them out? 00:07:43.620 --> 00:07:45.860 That's the idea. What if they messed with time 00:07:45.860 --> 00:07:48.339 and it backfired? It's definitely something to 00:07:48.339 --> 00:07:50.459 think about. It is, but it all comes back to 00:07:50.459 --> 00:07:53.259 this one question. Yeah. If we are seeing these 00:07:53.259 --> 00:07:56.500 faster than light fluctuations, what's causing 00:07:56.500 --> 00:07:59.259 them? What's on the other side? That's the biggest 00:07:59.259 --> 00:08:01.439 mystery of all. Is it an advanced intelligence? 00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:05.300 Are they sending us warnings? Trying to help 00:08:05.300 --> 00:08:08.720 us? Or control us? Or maybe it's us, sending 00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:11.819 messages back from the future. Wow, to warn ourselves 00:08:11.819 --> 00:08:15.000 about something. Maybe. The document suggests 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:16.800 all kinds of possibilities. Oh, it does. It really 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:18.680 gets you thinking. And what if this isn't just 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:21.199 observation? What if it's a doorway? A doorway? 00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:23.980 To what? We don't know. Something else. Something 00:08:23.980 --> 00:08:26.500 beyond our understanding. That's pretty creepy. 00:08:26.779 --> 00:08:28.819 It is. And this whole thing about the Mandela 00:08:28.819 --> 00:08:31.540 Effect. Oh, what? You know, those shared false 00:08:31.540 --> 00:08:34.309 memories people have. Oh. What if that's evidence 00:08:34.309 --> 00:08:37.309 of the timeline being rewritten? So our memories 00:08:37.309 --> 00:08:40.049 are changing because the past is changing. Yeah, 00:08:40.049 --> 00:08:43.389 it's an unsettling thought. It is. Like maybe 00:08:43.389 --> 00:08:45.549 some historical events have already been changed 00:08:45.549 --> 00:08:48.230 and we don't even realize it. So time isn't a 00:08:48.230 --> 00:08:50.850 straight line, it's more like... A tapestry with 00:08:50.850 --> 00:08:53.549 all these threads woven together. Yeah, that's 00:08:53.549 --> 00:08:55.570 a good way to put it. And this quantum computer 00:08:55.570 --> 00:08:58.149 experiment. Maybe it's the first sign that we're 00:08:58.149 --> 00:09:00.529 figuring out how to change those threads. To 00:09:00.529 --> 00:09:03.210 rewrite reality itself. And you could bet... 00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:05.580 Governments and corporations are all over this. 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:10.220 DARPA, CERN, NASA, they must have whole departments 00:09:10.220 --> 00:09:13.179 dedicated to this kind of research. Secret labs, 00:09:13.700 --> 00:09:16.639 billions of dollars, trying to unlock the secrets 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.980 of time. And they'd never tell us, not until 00:09:18.980 --> 00:09:21.590 they had it all figured out. So those weird stock 00:09:21.590 --> 00:09:24.470 market crashes, those sudden political upheavals. 00:09:24.529 --> 00:09:26.330 Maybe that's all part of it, information leaking 00:09:26.330 --> 00:09:28.610 back from the future. Or deliberate manipulation. 00:09:28.769 --> 00:09:31.429 We may never know. It's a lot to process. It 00:09:31.429 --> 00:09:33.570 really is. This one experiment has opened up 00:09:33.570 --> 00:09:36.110 a whole can of worms. And we may just be at the 00:09:36.110 --> 00:09:38.049 beginning. Yeah, we've peeked behind the curtain 00:09:38.049 --> 00:09:40.710 and what we've seen is something that could change 00:09:40.710 --> 00:09:43.370 everything. It makes you question everything 00:09:43.370 --> 00:09:47.350 you thought you knew about time, about reality, 00:09:47.909 --> 00:09:50.850 about the universe itself. It really does. So 00:09:50.850 --> 00:09:52.730 next time something strange happens, something 00:09:52.730 --> 00:09:56.129 you can't explain, maybe take a second and ask 00:09:56.129 --> 00:09:58.649 yourself, is this just a random event? Or is 00:09:58.649 --> 00:10:00.970 it something more? Is there a deeper meaning, 00:10:01.250 --> 00:10:04.110 a hidden connection to something beyond our current 00:10:04.110 --> 00:10:07.190 understanding? We may never have all the answers, 00:10:07.610 --> 00:10:09.669 but it's definitely worth asking the questions. 00:10:09.889 --> 00:10:11.990 It is. It really is. So keep those questions 00:10:11.990 --> 00:10:14.929 in mind. And until next time, stay curious. And 00:10:14.929 --> 00:10:17.860 keep an open mind. And maybe a little bit skeptical 00:10:17.860 --> 00:10:21.039 too. You never know what's lurking out there 00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:23.580 in the vastness of time and space. That's for 00:10:23.580 --> 00:10:24.799 sure. See you next time. See you.
