Eric Weinstein REVEALS His 'Theory of Everything'

*** 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.

Chuck Norris once stared into space and the universe pondered it’s existence

[SamHnamte]

Trying to sound smart by claiming no one can even grasp the meaning of what he was saying, by saying nothing at all is tight!

[DarkmanRides]

Albert Einstein said if you can't explain it simply you don't understand it well enough yourself.

[NeoDemocedes]

I'm so smart that if I explained how smart I am, you wouldn't understand. My writings are so brilliant, you can't even see them. They'll blind you, they are so illuminating.

[stevefaure]

If we could only harness the power of Eric's ego, we could go anywhere. Brilliant, fractured guy.

[a.s.]

My Theory of Everything hypothesizes that Eric Weinstein wears a wig.

[Primo_extracts]

Bro needs to tone down the ego, like a-lot. He obviously doesn't have any good friends because a friend wouldn't let him put that on his head like that.

[mindseyeview]

Eric here's a riddle: If I don't recall something, did I forget it?

[johndelpho]

People with big ego's don't understand how unlikeable they are, while what they want the most is to be liked 🤦‍♂️

[joeglennaz]

What is he talking about? He didn’t say anything.

[downburst]

The sheer f$%n hubris.
If he can't explain it, he can't grasp it.

[carlosrodriguez-wtui]

“When your wife sees your cell phone and you trying to explain to her the things she saw”😂😂

[SuitedPup]

In Weinstein’s defense, who among us really understands General Relativity? Not to mention Quantum Mechanics, which is practically unable to be communicated, except to say that “I don’t know what’s actually happening but the math works”.

It’s no surprise that a true “theory of everything” would be difficult to understand, much less communicate.

[godofchaoskhorne]

He's not saying he won't explain it bro lol. He's saying it wasn't the point for us to understand. The reason he did this is obvious to me having watched the podcast. He talks about Eric Witten and even though he sees the guy as a genius he's also salty that he got "laughed out of Harvard" for a gauge theory equation he created. But years later someone else made a similar equation. And then everyone gave Witten the credit on top of that which legitmised the 3quatuon and everyone adapted it. ...


He's upset he never got credit. Bemand that the guy who knew about his equation dient even mention him and then credited Witten (when someone else seems to have written the equation)


That's why he shared his theory. So if it turns out to be true. He can point and say, "see I said that first!!" Or maybe it will spur some other scientists to experiment or try to prove his theory right or wrong or work with Eric on it or whatever. That was the point. It wasn't to educate us bro have no idea what a physicist is saying when they talk business

[ebayerr]

We wouldn't need to get off this earth, if we replaced the people in charge, with normal people who are genuinely concerned about the welfare of the earth and its people.

[thinkon]

He should get together with Neil Degrasse Tyson and see which guy can out ego the other.

[vm]

I have a theory that proves his wrong but no one understands it

[jaymatthews]

Not a single person on earth understands what I did or why I did it, is an insane thing to say. "I'm the only one right on the planet", this guy really believes he's In the Newton tier of intellectuals, except he has nothing but interesting conversations with comedians to show the world.

[Valstein]

Idk, man. Einstein is pretty damn confusing, but I understand it. And never once in the theory does Einstein say "trust me bro"

[theunspokentruth]

Can't take advice from a dude who thinks that wig looks good
