00:00:00.000 Do you think for you, like last time when you and I spoke,
00:00:02.500 I think we were in Arkansas at the same time.
00:00:04.740 This was nine months ago, eight months ago.
00:00:07.920 Yeah, I was doing Turnbuckle, a film Turnbuckle.
00:00:10.060 Not even nine months ago.
00:00:11.160 It was maybe November or October.
00:00:13.060 You're right.
00:00:14.020 You're right.
00:00:14.660 It was probably November when we spoke.
00:00:16.660 And are you still getting the knock of bigger projects coming your way?
00:00:21.040 Oh, no.
00:00:21.580 After I sued Fox and Disney, you're going to the blacklist.
00:00:26.160 Permanent.
00:00:26.640 You, until there's a new change of everybody inside of there. So you're, you're, you're no longer on their main list of calling because you've broken the cardinal rule, which is you never talk, you know, even if you're being screwed over, you'd never talk.
00:00:44.680 you know you're supposed to keep that quiet and and keep working as a good slave and i didn't do
00:00:51.400 that i fought about you know some injustices that i felt was happening with me and you realize that
00:00:59.680 the entire system is rigged because they carry so much power and if you and everybody either you
00:01:07.440 work for disney or you want to work for disney in this business why because disney they want all the
00:01:14.260 Big brand, Star Wars, and everything.
00:01:17.660 Yep.
00:01:18.100 So how are you going to hire somebody that Disney is angry at as a producer?
00:01:23.660 And so you still stay within the independent realm and you're building that stuff.
00:01:28.180 Does that go all the way up to Bob Iger or is it like a Kennedy type of thing?
00:01:31.240 It goes all the way up to Dana Walden to all of them.
00:01:35.060 It's, you know, they have their list and you want to be on the good side of it.
00:01:41.580 But then you want to have your integrity at the same time. You know, you don't want to just roll over. You want everything to be balanced as much as possible. So the big studios, there's still people that will call and look for me, you know.
00:01:57.060 But now I'm at the point where, you know, I'm writing my books.
00:02:00.940 I'm more so trying to connect with people.
00:02:03.380 I don't want to play a character.
00:02:05.460 Even though if something great comes around, I'm there for it in a sense.
00:02:09.000 But I really want to connect with who Terry is right now, you know, and do some healing, some inner healing that I wasn't getting with all the other stuff.
00:02:18.580 Are you, if you never get any big job, are you completely resolved with that?
00:02:24.140 Oh, my God.
00:02:24.800 I've done my best. 0.59
00:02:25.880 I've gone, I've murdered it on the screen.
00:02:29.420 I agree.
00:02:31.040 So it's like, do you want to do an impersonation of yourself the rest of your life?
00:02:35.200 If I've done that character before, I don't need to do that anymore.
00:02:39.340 And right now, it's a greater message of, okay, let us start reasoning again.
00:02:45.400 You know, like did the entire thing with science and all of that.
00:02:49.060 And you come with all the stuff you're supposed to come with.
00:02:52.680 You come with the white papers. 0.51
00:02:54.420 You come with the patents.
00:02:55.880 You come with prototypes, you come with, you know, new geometry and to have it obfuscated and ignored.
00:03:03.200 Like since we talked on the last show, you don't hear any talks about science anymore.
00:03:08.720 It's all quiet out there.
00:03:10.820 They've they've somebody went in there and they were like, OK, let's silence this conversation.
00:03:15.780 But you can't show me any point where I was debunked on anything.
00:03:22.000 Everything that I've said, they just chose to try and ignore it as much as they can.
00:03:27.800 So my goal is still this life-saving.
00:03:30.660 Did you ever sit down with Brian Keating or no?
00:03:32.380 Did you guys?
00:03:32.660 No, Brian, you know, they all get away.
00:03:35.880 And then if I call Eric Weinstein, he does the same thing.
00:03:39.880 Oh, hey, Terrence, how are you doing?
00:03:41.300 But it's like, let's not engage.
00:03:43.300 Right.
00:03:43.860 Let's not engage.
00:03:45.040 Me and Dr. Yu, we still talk and move.
00:03:47.440 Really?
00:03:47.800 Yeah, we're still.
00:03:48.740 So I ended up doing the Tesla tech conference and, and, and.
00:03:55.060 Did you link up with the space force commander or did you guys?
00:03:58.160 No, no, no, no, no.
00:03:59.660 You know what I'm talking about.
00:04:00.340 Yeah, but no, no, no.
00:04:01.220 This is, this is Tesla tech, the actual Tesla guy, not, not Elon Musk or anything like that.
00:04:07.980 Not associated with that, but I introduced the, the understanding that our universe must be finite in order for us to have conservation of energy laws.
00:04:18.740 which completely destroys all of their foundations
00:04:22.900 because most of their constants are based on the assumption of infinity,
00:04:27.320 of an infinite space.
00:04:28.560 But in an infinite domain, to spread a minute amount
00:04:33.280 or a conserved amount of energy across an infinite domain,
00:04:36.580 you break conservation of energy laws.
00:04:39.280 The universe has to be bounded in order to have recursion or to have the echo.
00:04:45.360 It's got to hit a wall in order for it to come back.
00:04:48.120 The expanding waves hit the edge of our universe, and the returning waves hit newly expanding waves, and that's when you get your first geometry.
00:04:57.440 So being able to prove that led to the next steps of, okay, here's the collapse of the constants now.
00:05:04.800 Let's take apart Planck. 0.61
00:05:06.140 Let's take apart the fine structure constant.
00:05:09.140 Let's take apart all of these things that they're holding everything up with.
00:05:12.520 So, I'm still in the process of moving that, and that's still the most important thing in my life because there's life-saving things associated with it, and especially when you look upon where the world is right now.
00:05:26.460 Hi, everyone. My name is Terrence Howard. I'm an actor, but in the field of science also. So, if you would like to connect with me, you can connect with me on Manect. The QR code is down below, and let's have a great conversation.
