May 16, 2002: What if the Big Bang Theory is Wrong - Dr. Paul Steinhardt | UFO Crash Video, Climate Change - Stan Deyo
Podcast:The Art Bell Archive Published On: Sun Apr 06 2025 Description: Art Bell welcomes Stan Deyo to analyze a mysterious video showing an unidentified object crashing into the desert at high speed, bouncing airborne, and exploding on second impact. Deyo, who once worked on classified flying saucer technology under Dr. Edward Teller, breaks down the footage frame by frame, identifying an inverted cone signature and magnesium-like debris consistent with an electrically powered craft. He also reports alarming thermal anomalies appearing near the Antarctic ice shelf and warns of an imminent earthquake signature forming beneath Japan.In the second half, Princeton theoretical physicist Paul Steinhardt introduces his cyclic model of the universe, a radical alternative to the standard Big Bang theory. Rather than a singular beginning, Steinhardt proposes the universe undergoes repeating cycles of creation and destruction over trillions of years, with dark energy driving accelerating expansion between each cycle. He explains how gravity depends not just on mass but also on pressure and energy, and how dark energy produces a gravitational repulsion that could theoretically be harnessed.Art presses Steinhardt on the implications for extraterrestrial life, faster-than-light travel, and whether civilizations surviving previous cycles would appear godlike to us. Steinhardt cautions that the vastness of space may keep intelligent species permanently isolated regardless of their technological advancement.
