Joe Rogan and Michio Kaku Compare Reality to The Matrix as the Duo Address the Wonders of Quantum Computing – EssentiallySports
UFC commentator, Joe Roganhas achieved great success as a podcaster. The biggest reason behind the success of The Joe Rogan Experience is how it entertains people of different interests. Even though Rogan has been an MMA analyst for over two decades, he never made his podcast all about MMA. The 55-year-old invites guests from all walks of life to his show, and that can vary from comedians to scientists. Other than MMA, Rogan has always shown a keen interest in science and technology. He loves to dig deeper into the unknown secrets of the world. Moreover, he is fascinated by the growth of technology over time.
In JRE, the former Fear Factor host has often expressed his concern over the uncontrollable growth of technology. Rogan fears a world where science and technology overpower human efficiency. In a recent episode of JRE, the UFC commentator talked to Dr Michio Kaku. Kaku is a professor of theoretical physics. The two discussed a lot about the tremendous growth of technology over the years.

In the #1980 episode of JRE, Rogan and Dr Michio Kaku connected the realities of the world to the movie The Matrix. Kaku had written a book called Quantum Supremacy: How the Quantum Computer Revolution Will Change Everything.His vast knowledge of quantum computers made the UFC commentator eager to learn more.
During the conversation, Rogan asked, But if we are talking about technology as we currently understand it today, in comparison to technology as they had available to them a thousand years ago. What we do now, thats insane? And you are talking about quantum computing, which is almost available today and you look at thousand years from now. Couldnt you potentially imagine there could be a world where there is technology sufficient to do what we are talking about? To create a version of reality?
Kaku was able to give a clear answer to Rogans query. He said, Well, if you saw the movie we are all in parts and we are all connected to computers, then stimulus, The Matrix. As long as you are stimulating a piece of the matrix, not the whole thing, but as you walk from place to place, the computer reassembles and replicates that place. That may be possible, but not the whole earth.
Rogans questions to Kaku proved the amount of interest he has in science and technology.

In the very same episode of JRE, Rogan asked Kaku about the quantum computers that have the ability to break any code. Rogan was concerned about the world without secrets. However, Kaku didnt seem worried like Rogan. The professor told him that the secret codes of some nations had been broken in the past as well.

He went on to explain about World War II, where the secret codes of the Germans were broken using quantum computers. This helped to know the places where Germany was planning to attack beforehand. Back then, it was technology that helped save millions of lives.
