There Are More Planets Than Seconds Since The Big Bang… So Why Haven’t We Found Aliens?...:Joe RoganAdded:
establishments. If they find a nuclear weapons base, maybe I would I would go to that because they probably know the signal of nuclear armorament, then they probably know the signal of these weapons. They probably would visit those places. But would they interact with the people on the ground? Perhaps. Maybe they would. Maybe they would if they could be assured of their safety. Maybe.
It's possible.
But I I don't think we're alone. I don't think I think that's silly. I think the idea that we're alone is silly. There's a lot of like crazy equations that people have made like well what like the firm you know what the firmy paradox is >> the fermy >> fermy paradox yeah it was uh I think he's an Italian scientist it's like if there are uh aliens and the there's so many stars in the universe there's so many planets in the universe do you know there's more planets in the universe than there have been seconds since the big bang >> no way >> how do we know it >> I don't know I just read it and I'm just saying it to you like I'm smart >> that's [laughter] I believe you >> put that into perplexity.
>> Um, >> I love using AI. I know it's taken over the world, but I don't give a [ __ ] I I've learned so much. If you use it correctly, I think it's like everything else. I use it every day. I use it whenever I write. If I write about a subject, I'm like, "Tell me what why he did that. Tell me what this is." You just ask it. Yeah.
>> It just gives you instantaneous information.
>> I know. It is pretty fascinating. That's why like it used to be for information you had to go to somebody to get it. But now it's like everybody has it.
>> Go nowhere, son.
>> And Elon was saying that he doesn't think apps are going to exist in the future. He thinks everything's going to be you and a device communicating with AI. Here it is. Are there more stars in the observable universe than seconds have passed since the Earth was formed?
Yes, that statement is likely very true by a large margin. No, no, no. Not not the Earth, but the universe. I googled it and that's what the said that's what actually came up was >> oh >> that version >> estimated star okay age of the earth yeah so there's definitely way more planets but that's stars you wrote stars >> I know that's what came up I'm telling you I typed in what you said >> what did you tell what did you type in >> are there more planets than there have been seconds since the big bang >> I'll rephrase this >> damn not more stars are there more planets in the universe >> than there have been seconds since the big bang bang. Not the earth formed since the big bang.
This is this is the nutty one cuz that like that's crazy. Yes. By current estimates, there are far more planets in the observable universe than seconds have passed since the big bang.
>> Dude, it's crazy thing is a lot of kids nowadays.
>> A lot of >> That's crazy.
>> Wait, say it one more time. There's more planets in the universe than seconds that have passed since the big bang.
>> So then I start to think, I wonder if it's a contest and there like God is seeing like who what planet can really create the most like love amongst the planet, you know, and get it done right.
Do you think >> Howard the actor?
>> Yes.
>> He had a very interesting theory and and he's an interesting guy. He's a very intelligent guy. not he's not educated in a classical sense but he's a brilliant guy right not educated about a lot of the things he discusses but one theory that he had >> was he thinks that the way planets are formed is there's ejections from stars and over time they coalesce and become planets and this stuff in space becomes planets and the distance they are from the stars where it gets to a distance where it's in that goldilock zone where life can be established. And then he says planets become people because it gets to a certain time where people evolve from these planets. And he thinks this is like a natural thing that happens all over the universe that these planets get people. And as they get further and further away from the star, the planet gets less and less habitable.
>> Mh. And those those things those intelligent creatures on that planet become more and more intelligent and more and more innovative and more and more capable of surviving without the protection of the Goldilock zone and then they become interstellar and then they develop like their own sustaining environments.
>> Do you think that's what's happening to us?
>> Well, I think that's probably what's going to happen to us. And so if we leave that orbit as a part of that, >> right? If we leave that orbit of safety.
>> Yeah. Well, today Artemis, they're supposedly flying around the moon. So, these are the first people that have gone into deep space since 1972, since the Apollo missions.
>> Wow. I didn't know.
>> That's today. That's happening, right?
Nobody knows it. That's what's nuts.
This is taking, I think, 10 people.
>> Four.
>> Four. Is it 10 days? How many days are they doing?
>> It's 10 days.
>> 10 days. Four people 10 days. And they're going around the moon and coming back to Earth.
>> No one's done that since 1972. And it's happening today. Hey, no one cares.
>> That's kind of weird, right?
>> Yeah, >> that's kind of weird, >> right? See, whatever that is, that's part of us that is really been doctorred pretty heavily. The part of us that doesn't even find like a big fascination in that like that's the part of myself that I want to find more of. You know, >> it's very weird. It's very weird that we've become dull to like fascinating things, >> but also do we even some of it is like it's we don't even know if it's real.
It's like so much of this [ __ ] you see these video, it's like that's not even real. They just had like the Iranian protest or something or like the happiness in the street. They were just saying that that was uh >> different. It was a totally different um thing that they were filming. And then there was one that people were saying was older and then we found out no it's not. It's actually there was current people uh protesting in Iran that we were bombing them and they were protest they were like in favor of the government but then you got to know like well how many people are scared to death and they're doing that because they don't want to get killed because the government has killed thousands and thousands of people including like major public figures to show that no one has any favoritism. Like they killed this like championship wrestler like incredible wrestler. They killed two different wrestlers that supposedly protested against the government. So, who [ __ ] knows?
>> Did you see that they don't know uh that there's conflicts of interest about or no, did you see Sorry, I'm starting to sentence off wrong. Did you see that there is some issues about the bullet that killed that guy of Charlie Kirk?
I'm sorry. And I didn't mean to say that guy.
>> Yeah, >> but I wasn't.
>> Let me um clarify that. think and we'll find out if this is correct, but I see headlines and I see the way people are talking about it and I don't know if it's accurate. Yeah.
>> Because what I think is accurate is what they're saying is that the from the fragments of the bullet they were unable to determine that it came from that mouser rifle. I see >> my issue with it and I'm no expert, but I have shot things like I'm a hunter.
I've shot things with rifles. I've shot a lot of rifles.
>> A 306 is a big round.
>> That's a big round. Show me an image.
>> Would it hurt if it hit you?
>> Uh, experts debunk Tyler Robinson's ballistic claim. Unable to identify is not the same as ruled out. Which is exactly what I'm saying, right? So, um, show me an image of a 30 odd 6 round.
30-06 rifle round. I want you to look at this.
Look at the size of that [ __ ] Okay.
Look at a 30 odd 6 versus a 308.
>> That's a [ __ ] paper weight.
>> A 30 odd 6 is a It's a big round. You see it in that guy's hand?
>> Yeah. Oh my god. Are you serious?
>> Mhm. That's 30 odd six. So, this is my >> That's a fat little hand though. That's like my hand. This is this is the point is that that's a big round. That's not a small round. I mean, I don't know what isn't it compared to I use a 300 Win Mag.
>> Look at that on the right there. He just had it. Those cartridges >> 5.56. Yeah.
Um is meant for war. 30 odd 6 is meant for hunting. No, I don't think that's accurate.
>> Yeah, that doesn't look realistic.
>> That's what a 30 odd six looks like.
Okay. In comparison to a quarter. So, you look at it. So, a quarter is about that high. It's about that big. That's a big round, dude. That's a round for hunting like elk. Like it's a very common round. Well, you do me a favor and compare 30 odd six to 300 win mag compared to 30 300 win mag.
>> I'm just scared, dude.
>> So 300 win mag I think is fatter. Let's see the difference.
Okay, there it is. 300 win mag on the left. Oh, 306 is bigger.
>> Oh, look.
>> Okay. Is that real?
>> I don't know >> which one's which, though.
>> I don't know.
>> Um, uh, show me that one far left. Far left.
Right there.
>> Okay. 300 win mag and 30 odd. So, 300 win mag has a little bit more powder in it. See? See how it goes higher up? So, it has more charge. It's a bigger round, but my point is that's a big round.
>> So, like a 30 Oh, 300 Win Mag is a big round. 306 is slightly smaller, but it's still that's a lot of powder in that bad boy. That's a lot of firepower. It's a That's a [snorts] So, this is what a lot of people have an issue with is the the wound that there was no exit wound. It shot him in like the soft tissue of the neck.
>> If it killed you, didn't go out.
>> Would you feel pain?
>> I mean, I it looked like he was dead almost instantly. It looked like he slumped over. I think he was at the very least unconscious, >> but it would have left his body. You're saying >> I think it would have blown a hole out the back.
>> That's the thing. It's like 9 mm do that sometimes.
>> Yeah.
>> It just doesn't It seems weird that it doesn't have an exit hole.
>> Yeah.
>> It seems weird that you're shooting him in the neck and the the image from the back. There's a video of him getting shot from the back. It doesn't leave an exit hole. So, it doesn't look like it's that round. There's also the fact that this guy supposedly climbed on the roof with it and then assembled it, which doesn't make sense because if you assemble it, that means you have to take the scope off, put the scope back on.
You have to zero the rifle after you do stuff like that.
>> Yeah. The guy who had uh who uh killed or allegedly killed Osama bin Laden.
Who's that? Mike uh Mike, who's the >> I know who you're talking about. The Navy Seal.
>> Yep. He was just talking about that. And I only say allegedly because I don't know anything about that. I don't know the specifics even though I read the freaking book he wrote. Um, but yeah, that he was saying that uh to be able to do all that and get off of that roof, it all seems bizarre.
>> Not only that, they supposedly disconnected the rifle again, took it apart on the roof, put it in his backpack, jumped off with it, and then reassembled it and left it in the woods >> and allegedly was that a Dairy Queen. Do you see that? Who could shoot someone and go to Dairy Queen?
>> It seems weird. And then also his family's denying that he he confessed.
>> Yeah, >> they were saying that no, he didn't confess.
>> And we haven't heard family said 2% of what they're saying about this is correct.
>> Have you Have you reached out to them or have they reached out to you?
>> No. Well, I don't think they can. I mean, they're probably terrified about their son's future in life. Like, they're trying to pin this crime on him.
Who knows if he did it or didn't do it.
I'm not saying he did it. I'm not saying he didn't do it. But I am saying that the story of him climbing up there with a disassembled gun, assembling it, making that shot, climb, disassembling it again, climbing down. If that's the narrative, that sounds like straight horseshit.
>> Yeah. and the video of him hopping down.
It does not look like he's a rifle when he's hopping down. So, what what's happening? How did he get up there? How did no one see it? There's so many things that are [ __ ] up about that story that doesn't it doesn't totally make sense. But a big one to me is the actual bullet hole, the the the actual damage that that rifle does. Look, but here's another thing. Guns do weird things sometimes. Like bullets do weird things and sometimes they don't resp maybe it hit maybe it [ __ ] center punched his spinal column and it did blow apart and it didn't go out the back. It's possible. Have we seen have they get released any information about the autopsy?
>> I don't know. I don't know.
>> I mean you would think that >> I don't know what the specifics are but I know a lot of people are very skeptical which they are about everything these days which is also part of the problem.
>> Well they have to be skeptical because the news is compromised. the news is owned by, you know, it's not good. And uh >> it's also there's a lot of disinformation out there. There's a lot of like covering up stories. There's a lot of weird [ __ ] >> And yes, and then even uh other places can put out news that that that's bad for us that like, oh, well, we'll put this out there disguised as information.
Um but did you see the that exploding mic theory? Did you guys talk about that on here?
>> I've heard that theory, but I don't know if that makes sense. I don't know. I've heard people talk about it, but I hadn't looked into it. It looks like he got shot. I don't know if the microphone's going to hit you in the neck. Like, how how do you know where the mic's pointing? You're moving around a lot.
How do you know when to make it go off?
>> That's a good point. They had it like on his shirt at a specific spot. But yeah, you're right. How would you know? But then the place where >> it sounds like a gunshot, though. And there's a delay between the gunshot and the impact in terms of like acoustic readings. Like and I think somebody did an analysis of the distance they believe the shot was taken from based on the sound you know if that is the round that they used 30 odd six based on the sound of the gunshot going off and the amount of time before it impacts them. It's a very small amount of time but it is measurable >> and they think that it might have actually been closer than what they're saying which is I thinkund and something yards. I forget what the exact distance was. What was the exact distance supposedly? I think it was like 140 yards or something like that. But the weird thing is like this whole idea of assembling and disassembling. It doesn't work like that, man.
>> And if the guy's not a professional, was he a professional?
>> No. No, he definitely wasn't a professional. But I'm like, you could get trained like shooting a rifle at 140 yards with a really good scope. If you've shot a bunch of times with a rifle and you can keep your [ __ ] together is not that >> far of a shot. You can make that shot.
people can make that shot. He wasn't even wearing a bulletproof vest even though they he did obviously get hit in the neck. But the thing is like if that's the narrative >> and I don't know if they're still sticking with the story, but that was what they were saying at first that he disassembled it and reassembled it.
Reassembling a gun does not make it accurate. You have to zero a rifle in.
And what that involves in you get to like whatever the yardage are that you're trying it out like a 100 yards and you know you you squeeze off a trigger and then you look through the binoculars or you have a spotter with a scope next to you and he says he says 6 in high right and so then you adjust it you adjust the scope and that and then do you get it where it's firing and you do it on a rest and it takes a few shots man so you have a rest so that you're you're not your rifle you're not moving the rifle around where it can you know be human error can be attributed to the mess. And if you're on a hot roof, that was a hot roof, wasn't it?
