Summary

Join my mailing list https://briankeating.com/list to win a real 4 billion year old meteorite! All .edu emails in the USA 🇺🇸 will WIN! Are aliens artificial intelligence? What’s the deal with string theory? And how are campus politics affecting our classrooms? I had the pleasure of discussing all of this and more with Christopher Sweat, a highly opinionated thinker and analyst. Christopher started his career as a tinkerer, fascinated by computers, flights, and racing simulators. His practical and theoretical understanding of AI, computer science, and cybersecurity led him to become a tech consultant for large enterprises. He’s also the host of A Rant, a podcast for impromptu intellectual dialogue. This is our second interview, this time led by Chris and with me in the hot seat. Accordingly, we talked about things close to my heart – string theory, God, spacetime, aliens, Israel, and more. Tune in! Key Takeaways: 00:00 Intro 00:30 What’s it like to be a guest on Joe Rogan Experience 02:55 What is cosmology? 06:18 God and physics 11:27 Biggest crises in modern cosmology 14:51 What is space-time? 18:27 Do aliens exist, and are they AI? 24:52 Eric Weinstein’s critique of string theory 35:56 Campus politics 40:52 Outro — Additional resources: 📝 Get one month of Snipd Premium for free with this link: https://get.snipd.com/Cx7S/brianSnipd Snipd lets you take Smart Notes 🧠 with AI 💡 — it’s my favorite podcast player 😀 ! ➡️ Connect with Chris Sweat: ✖️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sweatem ➡️ Follow me on your fav platforms: ✖️ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrBrianKeating 🔔 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/DrBrianKeating?sub_confirmation=1 📝 Join my mailing list: https://briankeating.com/list ✍️ Check out my blog: https://briankeating.com/cosmic-musings/ 🎙️ Follow my podcast: https://briankeating.com/podcast Into the Impossible with Brian Keating is a podcast dedicated to all those who want to explore the universe within and beyond the known.

0:04.8	and there might be a hundred billion stars in our galaxy, and we think there are over two trillion
0:09.6	galaxies in the observable universe. Universe only have one, makes cosmology extremely hard. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
0:25.0	Open the pod bay doors now.
0:29.0	Okay, Dr Keating, I was at this event in the Bay Area like a couple months ago and some people were talking about like some random physics guy that was on Joe Rogan.
0:41.0	You were on Joe Rogin like what in September or August of this year? Yeah I got on in August. I ended up making the track to Austin in the middle of a hurricane here in San Diego but survived
0:56.2	and had a good time with Joe and Jamie and the whole crew out there it's quite an operation
