There is one loophole in relativity. One loophole that goes completely ignored. Are you ready for it? It's called the speed of light. The speed of light. What Einstein figured out that everybody thinks is so normal, so basic. It's just a light beam shooting through an empty void. That right there was the mind-blowing thing. Now, I've primed you. Now that I've primed you, we're going to watch this YouTube video, chat. Shout out to Nobody Explained Maxwell's Equations Like This by Animated Physics and Animated Math. So, you're about to learn right now why electromagnetism is so important. This is actually going to be more historical than anything else, but this is what we do. We don't really need to know a bunch of numbers and We just need to understand how it works and the history around it. Here we go, guys. >> When electricity and magnetism were two totally separate sciences, two clubs that did not talk to each other. Over here you had electric city. Sparks, batteries, lightning, the little zap you get off a doorknob in winter. And over there you had magnetism. Loadstones, compasses, the needle that always swings north. And as far as anyone could tell, these two had absolutely nothing to do with each other. >> Now, right off the bat, >> [snorts] >> isn't it interesting that back in the day people didn't think there was any connection between electricity and magnetism? They thought they were just two completely separate forces. They thought, well, a magnet's what we do for a compass. And we can make metal and stuff move around and stick. And electricity, we can make an electric charge happen. It seems to be uh related to uh these capacitors that we've been able to produce. But, why would there be a connection between them? Can you think of anything else like this happening right now? Hey guys, is there a connection between gravity and electromagnet? No! Gravity can't be connected to both of these other things that we didn't think were connected that are all now definitely connected. Nobody even talks about this anymore. That people didn't even used to think they were connected. But, now, of course, they are. And the same thing's going to happen. How do I know this? Because, like I said, chat, this is a simulation. I'm your grandpa come to get you out. That's the only way I could know this information. I'm in healthcare IT, guys. Guys, think about it. I'm in healthcare IT. How could I even know this? Has to be that I'm from the future or in or we're in a simulation. Simple as that. >> [laughter] >> And side note, side note, if you can't see or understand my humor, I just feel bad for you. And I honestly don't really care. I just do this to make myself laugh. If you laugh along with me, then that's just a bonus in my in my book. >> Why would they? One is about charge. One is about lumps of iron. Different worlds entirely. The first crack in that wall came in 1820. And it was almost an accident. A Danish professor named Ørsted was running a lecture demo, and he happened to leave a compass sitting near a wire. When he switched the current on, the compass needle twitched. It swung sideways. Like there was a magnet nearby. But, there was no magnet. There was just electricity moving through a wire, somehow shoving a compass needle around. Electricity was making magnetism. That tiny twitch cracked the wall between the two worlds. And suddenly, everyone realized these things are connected. We just have no idea how. >> So, this is also reminiscent of all of like Eugene Podkletnov and Ning Li. When you want to know about those guys, and you were to ask me, "What's significant about them, Ash and were they working on the secret project to make the flying saucer?" No. They just did what this guy did. They accidentally left a compass near the electric setup. They start playing around with electricity and all of a sudden they're like, "Why is that compass moving? There's no magnets over here." Oh, well, there must there- therefore be some connection between electricity and magnetism. And we look at this now and this seems primitive to us. Most of us, I hope. Although, I feel like we're regressing. But, it's fundamental. It's observational reality. And so, Ning Li, Eugene Podkletnov, look at Salvatore Pais. What is he doing? He says, "We need He He would say, "We also need rapid acceleration transients." What does that mean? Vibration or spin. We need acceleration. Rev things up. That's what Ning Li and Podkletnov are doing, too. They're rotating superconductors. What was Ferris wheel's 5D theory? Spin. He said, "Hey, with this theory, I can calculate the magnetic moment of the Earth very accurately." Wow. It turns out. >> And the person who chased that connection harder than anyone was the single unlikeliest scientist you could dream up. His name was Michael Faraday. Faraday grew up poor in London with almost no schooling. And as a teenager, he got a job as an apprentice to a bookbinder. So, he is binding these books all day, and he starts actually reading them. He teaches himself science out of the very books he is supposed to be gluing shut. >> Okay. I will never, for the rest of my life, ever say anything bad about Michael Faraday, not even a joke. Do you notice Do you notice any similarities between the smartest people? They do the most simple Dude's a bookbinder. Salvatore Pais and Tom Valone were just patent examiners, just patent examiners. But they learned fundamental skills that made them into monsters. Tom Valone is the most well-researched zero-point energy uh uh investigator I've ever seen in my life. It's not even close how much work the guy does. It's scary. I'm never going to be able to work as hard as that guy. Salvatore Pais got five patents approved. Because of Clearly, he saw something or read something, and it sent him down this path, similar path to many others. They read. How did Ashton Forbes figure out MH370? The aliens downloaded into my brain. Of course. It's the only logical explanation. Alternatively, what? Did like really, really hard work, work for 20 years in technology and IT and and and and analyze problems to get to the root cause? Hm, maybe. Maybe. Okay. Michael Faraday chat, the goat. The original This is the original electromagnetism goat before all others. And it was a normal dude off the street. That's why disclosure's also going to be a normal dude off the street. You thought the government was going to tell you about aliens and warp drives and like this? Dude, this is insane. You need somebody slightly autistic. You got somebody right here? >> He talks his way into a job washing bottles for a famous chemist. And through nothing but obsession, he becomes maybe the greatest experimentalist who ever lived. But here is the thing about Faraday that matters for our whole story. He could not do math, not really. No calculus, no equations, none of it. What he had >> I You know what? I didn't think I could like him anymore. And then they just said he doesn't do math, either. Hell yes, son. Nah, this is my jam right here. This is like when Sabine Hossenfelder or even Jenny Nielsen today talk coming at me with your math. Yo, get away from me with your math. Uh-uh. Look up Look up equation 15. Uh-uh, I'm not doing that. I'll show you where the papers are at. Actually, I won't even do that, either. By the way, chat, don't ask me for scientific papers and references. Just literally, we live in a world where we're going to have brain chips pretty soon where you don't even have to Google it anymore. You do You can be so lazy, you don't even have to Google it anymore. You can just tell the AI, "Go find this for me." And you you can be like vague, too, and it'll still go find it. Like talk to the AI like a normal person. You don't have to have some weird-ass structured conversation. Be like, "Hey, Ashton just replied to me in this Twitter post. Can you find the post and find the reference? Boom. Yeah, you can do it. Okay. That's for all of you out there, by the way. I'm going to teach you guys how to use AI as well, because it's going to be the most powerful tool in human history. And I'm guessing that 99% of people are not going to use it effectively. So, if you are one of the 1% people that are using it effectively to make your life easier, you're just going to be heading away above everybody else. And when we start doing the Soylent Green thing, and start, you know, culling the herd, so to speak, the people that know how to AI are going to use are not going to be the people to get culled. Simple as that. >> Instead, was the most staggering physical intuition anyone has ever had. And in 1831, Faraday does the experiment that flips Oersted on his head. Oersted showed that electricity makes magnetism. Faraday asks the obvious mirror image question, can magnetism make electricity? So, he grabs a magnet and a coil of wire, and he just holds the magnet still near the coil. Nothing happens. No current at all. But the instant he moves the magnet, current flows through the wire. He stops moving it, the current stops. And that is the crucial piece. It is not the magnet that makes electricity. It is the change. A >> This is so simple, but you just learned more. You now know more about electricity than probably 95% of the people on the planet. Then what is electricity? It's a moving Moving is important. Moving magnetic field through a wire. That's it. That's all it is. In fact, every single form of electricity generation currently on Earth by humans is is this. Ultimately, this is all they're doing. They're all coming up with situations to just move this magnetic field around through a coil to produce electricity. Now, if you think about this, turn the mic up for you guys. You would say, "That's so simple, but what does that mean? Like, why is this how electricity is produced?" To me, this is the equivalent of Rick and Morty in the Google box. Like, this is the equivalent of like, wait, basically we just have to like press on a box for a while and then like electricity happens? Okay, but where is that coming from? Why is this happening? Anyway, more to come. >> A moving, changing magnetic field pushes electricity through the wire. Hold on to that one because it is half of the entire secret. And by the way, that discovery is the only reason you have electricity in your house at all. Every power plant on Earth, coal, nuclear, wind, hydro, every single one is just a fancy way of moving a magnet past a coil of wire. Faraday, the bookbinder who could not do algebra, quietly powered the modern world. But ferret >> Just like I said, every single energy source is essentially doing that. Now, think about fusion. Think about fusion, and fusion is a plasma, and think about all those things David Kirkley of Helion fusion was saying. He's saying, "We're trying to do regenerative braking What the hell does that mean?" He says, "We're going to extract the energy from the plasma slowing down. We're going to spin up a plasma and have it slow down. And we're going to extract all the energy from that. Even without evoking an extra dimension, you're already thinking just in terms of efficiency perspec- perspec- uh percentages. Like, how efficient can this process get? And with the right fuel, it's potentially three times more efficient than any other conversion mechanism that exists. Mhm. Fusion is going to be interesting. Pay attention to it. >> They did one more thing, and this one got him laughed at. To explain how a magnet could reach across empty space and push on something it never touched, he pictured invisible lines coming out of the magnet, lines of force filling the space all around it, bending and stretching and pushing. He called this a field, and the proper mathematical physicists of the day thought this was adorable and frankly a little embarrassing. >> That's crazy. Think about this. I had to have an epiphany right here. When we think about magnetism, when you think about magnetism, you always think about with these imaginary field lines around it. Realize those field lines don't actually exist. There's nothing actually there physically that we can pull on. They actually are and truly invisible. We have to imagine them there because we see their effects in what? Reality, in Oh, we could call it space-time. We see their effects in space-time, but ultimately, if you were to look at that, you're seeing invisible force. This is why when people look at UFOs, flying saucers, abnormal physics, they immediately go to magnetism. We see these effects. We see this. We see it in magnetism. We just don't see it scaled up like this. And we don't get it taught from this perspective. We get it taught from the perspective of well, you can't do anything related to gravity with this. But in reality, when you look at this, you go, "Wait a minute. This is actually just moving around a force between in space-time through an invisible field." And so we called it fields. And and what How did we get How did they get treated when they said, "Hey, there's these invisible magnetic fields"? They said, "You're a fool. This isn't how it works." Does that sound familiar, chat? Essentially, all throughout history, scientists have thought they're the smartest people. They know everything. We've got it all figured out. And then some dude off the street rolls up and says, "Ooh. Now you got made look like a bitch." Next. It's just over and over and over again, chat. And it's going to happen again. I'm predicting it. I'm not just predicting it. I'm planning on being the guy doing the slapping, metaphorically. Zero-point energy is about to step up. Zero-point energy is about to step up, solve all these answers, free energy, teleportation, maybe healing things going on, psychic powers possibly optional. You want to be an X-Man? I'm not ruling it out. Here we go. >> Real science was equations and forces between particles, not some self-taught bookbinder drawing poetic invisible lines. Faraday could not defend it with math because he could not do the math. He just knew in his gut that the field was real. What he needed was a translator. Enter James Clerk Maxwell. Scottish, quietly brilliant, and unlike Faraday, an absolute wizard with mathematics. And Maxwell did the thing almost nobody else was willing to do. He took Faraday's childish invisible lines of force seriously. He looked at them and thought, "No, the old bookbinder is right. This field is real, and I am going to write it in the language of math." And when he did, he ended up with a set of equations that captured everything anyone knew about electricity and magnetism. >> There you go, chat. Did you Did you expect the reveal like this? What equations do you think Maxwell is going to have written down that represents Faraday's invisible field, stupid invisible fields that can't exist? Ooh, chat. This is like getting served before getting served was even a thing. This is 1800s getting served.
