Were in This Sort of Quantum Computer Race With China Joe Rogan Questions Why Governments Hide Advanced Tech From the Masses – EssentiallySports
Science and technology have always fascinated Joe Rogan. Rogan has hosted several guests from the science field on his podcast. The Joe Rogan Experience has a large repository of conversations on the subject with guests like Elon Musk and Brian Cox. The latest among such conversations was with Dr. Michio Kaku, Ph.D. Dr. Kaku is a theoretical physicist and host of a radio program called Science Fantastic.
Dr. Kaku has also recently written a book called Quantum Supremacy: How the Quantum Computer Revolution Will Change Everything. The pairs discussions were therefore pertaining to quantum computers and their potential to change the world.

This led Rogan to ask a typical Rogan-esque question- what if the government had these technologies and were hiding them?

In episode #1980, Joe Rogan and Dr. Michio Kaku had a lengthy discussion about technology and quantum computers in particular. They discussed the technological race between countries like the United States and China. Toward the end of their chat, Rogan asked Kaku if he thought governments had already possessed this type of technology.
The 76-year-old told him an answer befitting a scientist. For Kaku, the proof was in the pudding. He had to see it to believe it. Then Rogan asked, Could you understand though how a government if they were in possession of something like that, would want to keep it a secret?
The BJJ black belt explained, Because the technology is so superior to anything that we have. Just like how were in this sort of quantum computer race with China and they have a different method than we do. What if they have a different method of back engineering these things?

Kaku told Rogan that it was a conceivable theory but add there was no hard evidence to support any assumptions. He also analyzed other theories where people claim humans stole technology from aliens. The renowned physicist credited all such achievements to scientists who spent entire careers developing them.
What do you make of this conversation between Rogan and Kaku? Do you have any such theories regarding high-end technology?
