Transcript
Unexpected science references
Three things I did not expect to hear mentioned in an off-Broadway show last night.
One, Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity. Two, the speed of causality. And three, my favorite line repeated multiple times throughout one of the songs: we require evidence in proportion to the claim. That’s my jam.
Reaction to the show
The show was called Emergence and previews just opened. I went into it knowing nothing. They just sent me tickets.
But it turned out to be half philosophical science TED Talk performance and half psychedelic experience. I might go again.
