Tonight while flipping through the channels I came across The Stephen Colbert show and normally I would pass on while I am not a fan of the show, but tonight it caught my interest as he had Neil DeGrasse Tyson as his guest ( again not a fan of him but that’s not the point ). Well as I watched they happened to be discussing the technology in the new Dune part 2 movie that came out, and how it is other worldly and the kind of technology that would be needed/created to have tech like that. For a segment of the conversation they discussed about the possibility of repulsor lift technology existing in our universe but didn’t go too far in depth I imagine for the average viewer/person. Stephen brought up how some of the flying vehicles fly without making sound, and went on to talk about smaller fuel cells possibly being used instead of larger fuel cells. Neil make a remark basically making fun of himself saying Stephen was smarter than him which got a laugh out of the audience. A commercial break hit after that segment of the show, but once it came back on they further discussed space more regarding black holes, distance, and the technology that would be needed to travel but didn’t go too in depth regarding these topics. Another topic they did talk about is that the whole universe is connected on some level but as of right now we don’t know how it is. The final topic they talked about before I unfortunately changed the channel by accident then couldn’t find it again was homeopathic treatments for diseases and terminal things like cancer. Briefly talking about those things and how they could be a possibility but seemed to pretty dismissive of them. After loosing the channel I figured I’d come here and tell yall about what was said and so on.
I’ve been a lurker on this subreddit for quite some time but figured now would be a good tiny as any to add to the contribution. Apologies for the grammar and punctuation errors if there are any as that has never really been a strength of mine. I thought it would be interesting to see what yall had to say with theories, if you saw the show yourself also or what yall thought of it. If anyone has links or posts of the show tonight feel free sharing them! Thanks for taking the time to read
