| 0:00.0 | Today I'm sitting down with Eric Wargo. |
| 0:02.0 | He's an anthropologist and science writer, but that's not why he's here. |
| 0:06.0 | Eric has spent the last decade researching one of the most taboo ideas in science, the possibility that the future can influence the present. |
| 0:14.0 | Taboo, I've been saying this for years. Every time I get married, I get the feeling it's a bad idea. |
| 0:19.0 | Then boom. |
| 0:20.0 | This isn't time travel in the sci-fi sense, something more profound. |
| 0:24.4 | He calls it precognition, and he argues it's grounded in Einstein's Black Universe. |
| 0:29.6 | Black Universe sounds like we're the lizard people. |
| 0:32.2 | Keep the good timeline locked up. |
| 0:33.7 | The evidence comes from quantum physics experiments, lab studies that seem to prove retrocausation, |
| 0:39.5 | dreams that come true years later, artists who paint disasters before they happen. |
| 0:44.1 | Every year I dream I'm going to get audited by the IRS. Then boom. |

| 1:02.7 | I think you're going to like this one. |
| 1:04.5 | Let's go down to the basement. |
| 1:14.1 | Dr. Wargo, welcome to the basement. |
| 1:15.2 | I'm excited. |
| 1:16.0 | I'm excited for this. |
