Theoretical physicist David Deutsch delivers a mind-bending meditation on the “great monotony” — the idea that nothing novel has appeared in the universe for billions of years — and shows how humanity’s capacity to create explanatory knowledge could be the thing that bucks this trend. “Humans are not playthings of cosmic forces,” he says. “We are users of cosmic forces.”

He replaces a title name of the author who almost all scholars know is King Solomon. And he plays himself to be so smart yet does not understand what is being said. In plain sight is truth yet why is it the blind one whom so see’s what the one who has eyes that can see thus cannot?

Why is that Oxford Professor David Deutsch sounds more like an artist rather than a scientist (physicist)? I think he can have explained the subject matter better in scientific terms which is far more understandable, my mind was so confused with his poetic explanation. I kinda hate it.

~New studies show how the INSIDE of a magnet represents a black hole perfectly. Remember the black hole image taken about 5 months ago? This will blow your mind. All toroidal magnets have vortex centers where nothing can go. Not even light. Theres a new invention called a Ferocell in which 2 pieces of glass with ferrofluid in between, and LED lights surround it. The LED lights get caught up in the field lines of the magent, and see what’s going on INSIDE a Magnet. It’s like a magnet Xray. Never been done before in scientific history. Take a look at what ALL torodial magnets look like under one. You can make this at home. A mini safe “black hole”.
Here’s how he visually demonstrates planets being made, using magnetic putty, and a torodial magnet. The magnetic putty EATS the magnet, at takes it to its center. He also does a perfect representation visually demonstrating Saturn also. The dielectric inertia plane of the planet locks in synchrony with the dielectric inertia plane of its ring, which keeps the planet locked, preventing it from free spinning in all different directions within said ring. Visual experiment.
A more descriptive video of magnetic fields bending light, PERFECT representation.
Here’s a video representing the magnetics of our galaxies.
More and more of this guy’s videos make sense, and fit so well into absolutely everything cosmos related. Using magnetics. Something NONE of us study, even in High School. Do they even tell tales of Tesla anymore in school? Have they ever???
Gravity in itself as its own seperate force, is BS. It’s effects are very much real, but it’s cause is something entirely different. Dielectric acelleration. Our Ancient Ancestors knew this science. They knew it very well.
We’ve been dooped by government funded scientists in desperate attempts to CONTINUE getting their funding. They literally created results to keeping their funding.
Look at his explanation of galaxies. Unreal how right he is, and how simple it really is.
Galaxies, are perfectly mimicking what’s going on inside magnets
Check this video out showing how pyrimid magnetics work, based on a magnet expert. And I mean, expert. Think, pyrimid of Giza.
here’s a fun fact. 90 percent of scientists read. That’s it. They read books. Government printed books by government funded scientists. If those scientists don’t “produce” results, their funding stops. Theres such a SMALL amount of scientists working with real equipment to contribute to finding answers. They are all government funded, spending billions on machines that taks 10-15 years to build. That’s a long time to line pockets without having to produce results.
Mother nature is really quite simple. And she doesn’t work with a calculator. And she’s not some crazy cross-eyed hooker on crack with a bag of magic particles either.
The universe, is indeed Electric. Without electricity, magnetism cannot exist. Without magnetism, electricity cannot exist.
The right hand rule, rules not only living things on this planet, but the universe.
Spend an hour on this page. Don’t read at first. Scroll and LOOK at visual experiments, compared to visuals of our universe. What’s offered, is REAL experiments, unlike NASA’s CGI.
Mainstream science is lying to us too. Funding for billions baby!!!
Let’s take this further shall we?
Linda Moulten Howe has a piece of UFO wreckage that was obtained by a soldier involved in the cleanup of the wreckage in White Sands NM in the 1940s. The bottom of the craft glowed for 3 hours after it wrecked. When it stopped glowing, the soldier broke pieces off and pocketed them. In 1996 they were sent to Art Bell. He gave a piece to Linda. She had them analyzed. Their Ion levels were 60 percent higher than they should be, and upon further analysis it was discovered they were subjected to terahertz frequencies approaching the speed of light. She doesn’t know what that means. I do.
The high Ion levels were due to the metals being turned to a plasma state. Like the plasma ball experiment. Her metal was made up of micron layers of magnesium, zinc and bismuth. ALL diamagnetic elements. Which means REPEL magnets. How were they turned to a plasma state?
Here is an experiment done with a homemade ham radio. It’s receiver was way too small to handle the High Frequency waves, and the Stainless Steel rods bypassed the liquid state of metal, and instantly turned to plasma.
(imagine this being done on a larger scale in California, in which the receiver was buried, and the antenna was sticking out of the ground surrounded by dry brush).
Linda’s metal was turned to plasma using even HIGHER frequency. Terahertz. Creating a DIAMAGNETIC field.
This is a Tesla plasma ball being spun at 4000 RPMS. Notice anything familiar? Take note how hard the south pole tries to form, despite the post powering the plasma being in the way.
They put a tinfoil hat on it. Notice how the tendrils try to draw energy from it at the pole? Northern Lights.
Mind you, this plasma globe is only being powered by 2 AA batteries, and it’s just basic neon gasses creating said plasma. What would happen when you use materials like magnesium, zinc and bismuth?? You wouldn’t get a magnetic field. You’d get a DIAMAGNETIC field.
Let’s go further. Bob Lazaars claim of Element 115. Unumpentium. Now known as Moscovium. It’s used to make Element 113, Nihonium, by smashing Zinc and Bismuth nuclei together. Both DIAMAGNETIC elements. Which means repels magnetism.

Because of novelty it is almost impossible to predict the future. My parents were born at the beginning of the 20th century when the streets of New York were made of mud and horses pulled carriages. There were no cars or airplanes to speak of and Poe wrote about going to the moon in a balloon. They had no clear ideas about what was soon to come, including rockets, computers, atom bombs and the discovery of plate tectonics and human DNA. So how can we predict what the new century will provide, or not. All the numbers show that things are not getting better in all our “systems” of government, industry, economics, environment, justice, equality, health and social and international relationships. The rosy picture predicted by this brilliant talk leaves out the rapidly increasing and accelerating dangers of pollution, diseases, global heating, starvation and extinction. There is the possibility that humans and other creatures tend to destroy themselves when population or technology reaches a certain point. Are we now at a suicidal point in our wonderful yet horrible evolution? Many climate scientists feel we have reached a tipping point of no return and that social, environmental. economic and governmental collapse is unavoidable regardless of creativity, attempts at rapid change and “novelty”. Perhaps the only thing novel about our future is the massive size of the impacts of climate wars, droughts, famines, heatwaves, wildfires, storms and floods. If you doubt this, maybe you have been living in a bubble or in a tablet.

If you listened to Terence Mckenna, he basically says nothing new.
Seems like the same thing Terence has said.

Basically this person is saying that we were created by god, with god, thus we are gods, and we are the ones that will create the next universe.
Or at least that’s what i see through my lens.
Lol.

I had to stop watching. He keeps making assumptions that certain ideas about the universe are empirical when in fact, they are not. Not yet, even though many outlets and personalities speak as if they are. The statement about no new structures being found is laughable. Cosmic Background is a structure just recently discovered. The filamentary nature of the cosmos is relatively new, the discovery that magnetism and even electricity is playing a much larger role in many structures and revealing ones that we previously did not even know about. He is assuming way too much to even bother speaking. There is nothing monotonous about our universe and we have only touched the smallest bit of knowledge concerning it.
Sorry TED! =D

“The statement about no new structures being found is laughable. Cosmic Background is a structure just recently discovered”
It’s not about humans finding them. It’s more about no new structures being formed after the start of the stellar era of the universe. There was lots of novelty created right after big bang but after first stars and black wholes emerged there was just monotony in the universe. Human existence and knowledge are supposedly a way for novelty to appear in the universe.
