The Physics of UFOs: Eric Weinstein + Hal Puthoff

From 2013 - 2022, Eric Weinstein was a Managing Director at Thiel Capital. He is the creator of geometric unity, a unified theory in physics, and the intellectual dark web, a loose coalition of intellectuals dedicated to free thought. Hal Puthoff is former CIA, NSA and AATIP (the government’s official UFO investigation program). In the 70’s, he oversaw Stargate: the government’s psychic spy program at Stanford Research Institute. In this conversation, we discuss the physics of UFO’s, private aerospace as the keepers of fundamental science and Hal’s experience with parapsychology. Please enjoy 🛸👽

*** AMERICAN ALCHEMY is an original series hosted by Jesse Michels that explores the frontier of science and tech. Each week, we bring you exclusive interviews with some of the leading thinkers of our time.

Now I know what a dog feels like when it watches TV

Looking forward to this. By the way, I emailed you Jesse. Would love to connect. Glad to see your hard work is gaining momentum and I wish you luck.

Release the whole interview, Jesse. Eric said this is a short cut. You have a responsibility, mate. Hall isn't in his 20s. Getting another interview isn't likely to ever happen. But, again, you have the lithe film. Do it damn it. Please upvote this.

I would love it to hear more of Hal Puthoff thoughts and ideas.
Without him being interrupted all the time while he is still trying to precisely
articulating new concepts.

[G-rant]

Eric expressing his aversions to paranormal phenomena while remaining open to the evidence is courageous! Love Hal’s precise response: “It shows the stigma programs were effective.”

[rahulsingh]

Freeze frame at 46:30 and the look at the contrast in expressions of Jesse and Eric to the remote viewing explanation by Puthoff. One is of genuine fascination the other of studied scepticism. Loved this discussion.

[JamaaLS]

Wish this was longer. Can we have a part 2 please? Hal is so knowledgeable.

[MrSA]

Just discovered Jesse’s channel from the David Grusch interview. Wow! His content keeps me on the edge of my seat. Really enjoying his podcasts!
Excellent work. I don’t understand why every person out there isn’t interested in this stuff. It completely makes sense to me that we should all be pondering this stuff from early childhood on, trying to understand who we are and what this reality is all about. Its amazing to be alive! But instead, people watch so called “reality TV shows” which are ANYTHING but realistic.
It makes no sense 💔

Jesse is in full attack mode on the subject and I’ll always be here for it. Channel is underrated AF.

[KjellIverson]

This is without a doubt the most fascinating talk on this subject I've ever seen, and I've been interested in the topic for over 30 years. I don't know how it slipped under my radar, but it's required viewing for anyone interested in the UFO / UAP phenomenon. Absolutely fantastic. I could listen to Eric and Hal talk for hours, and my only regret is that this isn't an entire series.

[Indrid-Cold]

A few months ago, I was speaking with, Ross Coulthart, when we happened upon the subject of the Washington over-flights in 1952. Ross asked me, “Why?” I replied with the question, “What else happened in 1952?”
He said, “I’m not sure, tell me.”
I then reminded him of Teller, and the completion & detonation of the first H-bomb.
To the best of my knowledge, Eric, in this interview, is the first person I’ve seen to publicly make the connection on any widely viewed forum. Way to start connecting the dots for the people, guys!
Big cheers to you, ERIC! ✌🏻🍻

Jesse Michels only having 150K subscribers is the real mystery here!! This man should have millions of subscribers based on this amazing content. Keep up the good work boss!

[seebarry]

Thank you for playing our role in this conversation. Thanks to you too Jesse.

[AZRAY]

This is definitely one of my favorite YouTube channels on the topic of UFO's.

[ilopgaara]

I wish this shit was 7 hours long, I'm so unbelievably thankful for your work, this is my favorite YT channel by far. It would be great if Eric co-hosted interviews with obscure scientific figures such as Hal, for example Jacques Vallee, or Eric Davis, having Eric Weinstein there would be spectacularly useful.

Looking forward to whatever is next, wish this channel all the success in the world.

[MilkyWayGalaxyy]

Hal knows more than he is saying💯 Jesse, you need to do an interview with just Hal and Eric not interrupting.

[dougg]

Me and a friend watched three at close range ( 150 yard ) over a tree line edging a small pasture. I’m in my fifties and own my own business. We felt privileged, after the fight or flight sensation relaxed. Don’t think I’ve ver been more conscious and alert. I pay attention to the topic very closely now. It’s amazing

[xman]

What we call parapsychology or paranormal or pseudoscience today is simply a reflection of the limits of our current knowledge and of the range of our senses to comprehend. Consider being transported back in time 1000 years and conversing with scientists of that era about our current knowledge and technology. It would seem to then as paranormal etc to folks of that era also.

[elenabodna]

This was a dream of an interview, actually talking mathematics of the phenomenon. I'm delighted, thanks for all Jesse !

[jors]

As a physicist who has met Puthoff and read his journal articles, I appreciate this interview very much.
It occurred to me, that Hal is making a deeper discovery about GR, that stretches to cover EM. I mean, if you have two charges, positive and negative, is that not a space-time distortion, in the same was two masses attract? Would you not see GM effects, like time dilation? However, what would that really mean? It kind of pokes at the concept of time itself. What is time, really? Just another dimension? What is charge, really? How much effect do vacuum fluctuations have on EM constants?
It seems the answer to the last question: is that it should have some effect. Mu and Epsilon would then tie into G, and Mu and Epsilon tie into the amount of energy (scalar fields) in a given region of space.
It seems we are so close to an answer. Not sure why its hard to pin that down?
