…cat scanner. How can we, my god? You know we don't even have the calculus yet. Newton hasn't been born yet let alone Einstein. I mean we're running around essentially, we're primitives is what I'm saying we don't have tools yet to conceive of the object…

…was something which you had to have if you wanted to put something somewhere so it was a kind of an abstract plenum but Einstein showed that space is actually some kind of thing it has properties of thing them. It is distorted in the presence of a…

…and duration was the notion that newton and nineteenth century science was using when thinking about time. But duration is not sufficient. Einstein showed that you have to view space and time as two aspects of a single medium that can be deformed by…

…graphics and hallucination as we experience it on psychedelic drugs you think that's a trivial or a profound connection. Well Einstein was saying there in his address to European Scientific society in the 30s that he had had this experience personally…

…the gravitational, the quantum matter fields and all other fields and phenomena of nature in some sense come forth? Well, Einstein Couldn't find that because he was just trying to do it by pure mathematics or by applied mathematics. What's happened…

…contribute. You know and if that's a little abstract, I mean, well we live in our imaginations, don't we? That's what Einstein said that you know there's nothing really without imagination because imagination is sort of the for lack of better words kind…

…mind back to the ambiance of 1947. The atom bomb was in 1945 the defeat of Germany. The h bomb was under development Einstein was advising Truman. I mean people were on the brink of things they could not understand. Nobody knew what the h bomb really…

…said about this is your definition of progress, things progress toward a higher level of integration. So the urgent desire of Einstein and other physicists for a unified field theory is an expression of this Universal urge for progress. And here we have…

…different members of the family that make it happen. That's where the activity is but in a quantum field, like in the Einstein Rosen Podolsky thing like if you measure the polarization of this photon here and immediately the other one has the opposite…

…Well now, this requires a slight digression. Ordinary physics is done I'm sure you've heard this AD Nauseum using the Bohr Einstein Version of things, which has at its center this really weird idea of the uncertainty principle, and you know how many…

…18th they reached the little town of Ulm. I've been there, nice cathedral railroad station, Germany, Ulm, Centuries in the future Einstein would be born there but this particular night in august after a long evening of carousing and ribaldry at the local…

…duration. Think of it as a perfectly smooth surface. The only modification to this doctrine in the past 500 years is Einstein came along 100 years ago and said in the presence of massive gravitational fields this perfect smoothness is slightly distorted…

…know what general relativity says? I said the world was made of language. I just happened to be reading a paper, the Einstein Minkowski whoop de do today. And what Einstein said, washington, everything is a product of the curvature of space time. There…

…world was made of language. I just happened to be reading a paper, the Einstein Minkowski whoop de do today. And what Einstein said, washington, everything is a product of the curvature of space time. There are no electrons, there are no magnetic fields.…

…what time is. A hundred years ago, we were at such a primitive stage of culture that we didn't understand what time was. Einstein had to come along and say, you know, time is not an abstraction necessary to have a place to put objects that you…

…by mid September was camped near the town of Ulm in southern Germany. Now, by a strange coincidence, Ulm is the birthplace of Einstein some hundreds of years later. But on the night of September 16, Descartes had a dream. And in this dream, an angel…

…acts to preserve the species, cultures act to preserve the illusions of the population. They're not interested in you if you're an Einstein or a Jackson Pollock, or unless they can fit you in to the pre established systems of commerce and canons of…

…some manly soldiering skills. And he was in Ulm in southern Germany in August of 1620. Ulm later to be the birthplace of Einstein. And Descartes, who was completely wet behind the ears, didn't know anything, had a dream. And in the dream, an angel. This…

…Newton called pure duration. And the only adjustment of that idea that's ever taken place in the scientific canon is that Einstein added the very slight caveat that in the presence of massive magnetic fields, the space time continuum became very, very…

…And so novelty theory, but novelty theory needs an equation to go up to the great simulacra of true science with Newton and Einstein and Huygens and Maxwell and those people. And so, over the past 20 years, I've tried to do this, and I've produced a…

…know, it's mine. I invented it. But I can't defend it in academic, mathematical terms. I don't think of myself as Einstein, certainly, but there is a story about Einstein that after he published the general theory of relativity, a physicist named Herman…

…published the general theory of relativity, a physicist named Herman Bondi launched a furious attack on it. And Niels Bohr went to Einstein and he said, bondi is saying all these things, he's publishing all these papers. What are you going to do about it?…

…seemed to concentrate in those places, and it was because the seeds were being discarded there. So at some point, a lady Einstein of the high paleolithic put it together. And it's interesting. This has to do with the conquest of the temporal dimension in…

…came back that these things were expanding, it was unexpected. No theory demanded it. And yet it appears to be incontrovertibly true. Einstein in the thirties played around with this idea, and he produced, at one point in his career, what he called the…

…to be, and it gives us a universe which, once born, expands forever. So that was a big support for novelty theory. Why did Einstein abandon that? It was felt that it was not necessary. In other words, it was felt that. And it hypothesizes a force, you…

…essentially parodied to get to death by, guess what media they made of him. An icon of cultural incomprehensibility. Not since Einstein has somebody, have you been so preprogrammed in advance to believe you ain't going to understand this guy. And that's…

…intelligence is without precedent in the organic world. I mean, where are you going to get Milton? Where are you going to get Einstein? Where are you going to get Bach and Duccio and all the rest of the gang out of the world of hummingbirds, chipmunks,…

…I heard Tim Leary recently say, all natural laws are simply local ordinance. There's truth to that. The problem is, I think Einstein beat into it. So to my mind, the way in which the psychedelic experience transcends the therapeutic dimension is that it…

…you're proposing a revolution in physics based on a chinese oracle, is that right? You're suggesting that we should Chuck Newton and Einstein based on a 3000 year old fortune telling book, is that right? Not exactly. The I ching. My interest in it was…

…the 19th century, back to people like Alfred Jarry and Gumare, Polonnaire and the Pataphysicians, the surrealists, the physicists around Einstein, Freud, modern art, modern dance, jazz, all of this stuff is an effort to reclaim the primitive, to reclaim the…

…scientific revolution. Because what you'll learn there, to your amazement, is that these great intellectual breakthroughs like Newton and Einstein and Planck and so forth, they don't come out of careful examination of the evidence and conservative adumbration…

…time is made of elements. It is not simply an event space, something required for things to have duration. You see, before Einstein, space was thought of as the place where you put things. The necessary adumbration of a thing having being was that it…

…was thought of as the place where you put things. The necessary adumbration of a thing having being was that it be in space. Einstein came along and said, no, time can be thought of as a surface, as a continuum, as something which in and of itself can…

…tents at Ulm in southern Germany, which, strangely enough, keep your eye on those coincidences, folks, would be the birthplace of Einstein some centuries later. But anyway, they pitched their tents at Ulm. And Descartes, who was not the mature philosopher of…

…cars, more investments. Because if we're going to, if you chop the population of the world in half, you don't have to be Einstein to see that everybody generally is going to have twice as much disposable stuff here. I have a couple of undigested plots…

…of the field and somewhat at loose ends, but usually with a broad education, gets it. You know, I mean, it happened to Einstein. He was a telegrapher. It happened to Alfred Russel Wallace. He was a surveyor who couldn't make a living. And so he went…

…were seen, it was a weird world. The explosion of the atom bomb, the work toward the hydrogen bomb. People didn't know Einstein and Truman and all this. They didn't know what it really meant. They thought that it is conceivable that the solar system…

…seems to be expanding slightly faster than the laws of physics say it should. And they've gone back to some work Einstein did and rejected in the twenties, where he actually hypothesized this anti gravitational factor. This, if proven, would be, could be…
