Joe Rogan - Neil deGrasse Tyson on Why There Aren't Flying Cars

we didn't hit innovation in all their cares worries no no here's one we'd never even got into cars yeah just line cars why they'll never be flying cars yeah like this please okay since we're two hours and 40 minutes in is that allowed oh my gosh yeah we're flying no but people don't have three hours to do they oh we do it all the time really yeah oh are you sure 100% yeah this is not you sure yeah average podcast right now lavage really yeah I'm honored to please your average the ones we've done we've all been like close to three hours okay here is that ding oh oh it's rude okay so let me I flipped it I turn that goddamn switch on okay so let's go back to let's go back to why anyone would want a flying car in the first place is there an asshole okay so here it's stuck in traffic so here at Edison everybody just watch let's say there was only one Road okay okay that was the width of your car and you're driving on this road and their cars behind you the fastest you could go on that road is the speed of the slowest car on the road right make sense yes this is travel in one dimension that sucks what you really want is travel in two dimensions so you take the road and widen it let's make two lanes two lanes in one direction you have to the other way as well this doesn't matter here now you have two lights so now I can go around you your slow ass car mmm okay but and that's fine this is a great improvement on one dimensional travel now it's two dimensions okay I can shift left or right as well as move forward or backwards to move and the more lanes you have the more 2-dimensional that is okay so four or five here in Los Angeles what is it six lanes each is 12 freakin lanes okay you are fully exploiting the two dimensionality of travel but you still have so many cars that you say to yourself I want to bypass this traffic if you went from one dimensions to two dimensions bypassing is just another lane but now all 12 lanes are plugged and you want to bypass it so you're thinking I need to travel in another dimension I want to travel in the third dimension if I do that I can bypass all these cars I want a flying car yeah okay well the point is we already have flying cars they call helicopters well the helicopters have originally invented for that they called helicopters they're noisy they have to create a downward thrust of air equal to its own weight if you're gonna have a flying cart that's what it's gonna have to do right they're noisy they're they completely disrupt the terrain wherever they fly so the issue is not that you want a flying car you want to travel in that third dimension hmm we already do that how do we do that they call tunnels they call bridges when you have a huge intersection you don't move people through one another you build the you build one road over the other you build one road under the other you are exploiting three dimensions so that traffic can go in perpendicular directions simultaneously that's what the flying cars would have given you but we do that at intersections because it would be impossible to move 12 lanes of traffic through an intersection that crossed another freeway New York City has done this we do this the New York you're in the streets there's too many cars you can't move let's move in the third dimension let's build a subway this sounds like a guy who's trying to sell me something I'm telling you either than a flying car object like listen man that flankers bullshit what you could buy a flying car the knee I want you to appreciate moving in the third dimension the New York City subway system moves a billion people a year and they all go in the third dimension beneath the ground through tunnels tunnels that are layered on top of one another well the New York City subways this is amazing how I could move that many people it's great but it's not as good as a flying car it's not as cool as a flying car but it's as effective as a flying flying car flying car just have to get in line you'd have to get on the subway you have to have a token you have to go to the turnstile you deal with some guy who's rubbing his body up against yours you flying cars so yeah you just fly around I'm just saying it took a boat tunnels but for the air and bridges are flying cars the beautiful thing about a boat is you just go wherever you want to go now here's the thing it's kind of you don't have to call air traffic controller I'm turning left I would take you to another dimension know someone will have to know where the hell you're flying car is going just the same way traffic rules that matter in a street you know it is with boats and you know what happens if a car fails Falls it's just on the ground it just stops and if Atlanta people flying car fails you're dead right okay so I want to add another dimension to this conversation oh the redline muskers tunnels okay ready exactly exactly so watch here's a desk in front of me okay I it's a physical desk and I have a lot of sheets of paper and and so I lay them side by side I tile the desk with all my sheets of paper then there's no desk surface left I ran out of two-dimensional space if I want to store more pages on my desk what do I do I get one of those organizers mm-hmm I've just introduced a third dimension so now I could have pages in another dimension sitting above the page that was previously occupying another place that I couldn't have put another sheet mmm that's three dimensions yes okay if we were two dimensional people we would wonder what happened to that sheet of paper because we have no access to that third dimension you would it would just left our universe at this point I'd be trying to back out of the showroom and I'd say thank you them oligo the flying car place so now watch but look at how much you've increased your storage by introducing another dimension now imagine a fourth spatial dimension we don't have access to that but we're now filling all three dimensions and a four dimensional creature we'll say we'll just put it up in this direction what would be the fourth dimension in that regard you can't imagine it because our brain evolved in three dimensions we haven't we can describe it mathematically maybe a wormhole in capacity Greece in LA so our storage needs would become you can open the door put it through this portal to the fourth dimension right and close the door and look on the other side of the door and nothing would be there yeah just the way on the surface of the desk if you live in the surface test someone opens the door they put the paper through the door close the door you look around it you say where did it go I have no idea because you can't even see you can't even imagine that third dimension we cannot imagine a fourth dimension but if the world one day gets so crowded that even three dimensional space has traffic access to a fourth dimension would greatly help that that's all I'm saying yeah good luck with that getting people to step through I still what is this Jamie some flying thing that just came out oh look at this thing Wade that's CG that part seems CGI but it's actually flying over grass why that's moving look at this thing what is it solar-powered I don't know off the trailer like showing it describing it is it have sound does it make sound know what it looks like it looks like a human-sized drone yes it's exactly what it looks like okay what about something like this what about something like this with really powerful magnets all outside the outer edge so it repels against other drones to run a maglev flying car so if you so close like oh I see would be like a force field and many each other oh so be like it'd be like a bumper car yes but with with cushions yes yeah yeah some sort of electromagnetic force field that you know everyone agrees that you don't have ones that are attracted to each other but opposed by the way see how big that human human size drunk drone is have you ever heard how loud a drone it fucking laughs yeah you can't you can't even have a conversation yeah my neighborhood flies one around that's what shotguns are for yeah I wish I've never fired a gun in my life but the first time I ever used one it's to shoot the drone that's gonna be looking through my window at my apartment oh you know this is fucking asshole on my neighborhood he flies it on all over people's yards but I can't uncork they already think I'm crazy no way I know if I shoot it with a bow and arrow I'm not sure I'll hit it by the way did that video have sound accompanying with it has some some a little bit there's music and some description of it music but there's not the actual sound of those propellers you know this but they have on their webpage here that it's quieter than a car on a freeway what it's quieter than an electric car nor at 150 feet away measured at a hundred and fifty feet that's incredible because it's about the same as a car as a car well it says motors no count so they're counting that as an electric car though oh they are yeah yeah gasoline cars okay is that what cars today are then top where it just energy consumption oh if they're using the same icon to represent see they're using the same so it's an electric car so it's the sound of an electric car no no there's no engine but no don't get deceived there because that's energy consumption see energy consumption uses the same icon for electric cars it does for gasoline car and then down no see it says noise it shows highway just car it doesn't tell you there's no way 76 DBA is a sound because electric cars far quieter than a regular car you all you here's the drone of the tires no but what happens is above a certain speed the the aerodynamic noise is greater than the so in a landing airplane so here's what you do you live in LA go to the in and out near LAX which is right near a landing strip okay yeah and listen to the sound of the planes as they come as they come in for landing most of that sound is airfoil noise not engine noise ah yeah which is why you can pretty much still maintain a conversation you're old enough we remember a plane would fly overhead in a city and you'd have to halt your conversation until it finished why what happened engines got quieter and quieter which enabled people to build real estate closer and closer to airports and not have not have a sound problem that's poor fog but they didn't happen overnight there was slow and steady no kidding yeah I never boil boys I forgot that you had to stop talking when I remember it in fact Shea Stadium in New York City near near LaGuardia Airport the answers have to stop any time a plane flew overhead they couldn't they couldn't announce the game that's crazy and when the Mets were in the World Series in 1969 Mayor Lindsay redirected the airport traffic to not fly over the World Series games wow I thought that was a badass move event of his mayor Lindsay yeah I completely forgot how loud planes used to be correct and now they're now there it's a sound that's in the in quote the noise of the street you don't even stop and notice it you didn't even pay attention at all you barely hear you barely hear it and so next time you're at a runway and when it's landing it's much noisier taking off because it's got a gain altitude but coming down it's most of that sound is glider noise and evidence of this is is the noise of air going over the airfoil of the the fuselage if you you know the moment they deploy the the landing gear next time you're in an airplane when they say we are cleared for landing just listen listen to the ambient sound of the plane then listen to the sound after they deploy the landing is for three times as loud it ramps up hard part because of the sound of the air going around something is not aerodynamic the freakin wheels oh yes yeah yeah yeah I just never for whatever reason I never remembered that airplanes used to be louder mm-hmm yeah I think about it all the time so why can't I have a flying car it's too you want the drone flying car yeah yeah so you need him you wouldn't want it that would look ugly if two of those colliding in the sky but what about my magnets here what do you what do you what night now it's got to have more power to lift the weight of the magnet solar bro plus you get some testosterone infused guy who doesn't want to let you ahead of them love you and then you break the propeller and then you both fall out of the sky sky rage sky rage oh it's a lot ai rage we know it'll do it'll call the herd of testosterone driven men okay but what if they do it but the only way they work is through like the same sort of Tesla system that allows them to have you know if you have automated cars you don't need flying cars yeah you do because first we too many uh no there'll be fewer cars on the road what how do you figure that oh my gosh my automated cars fewer cars yes how so how so how so because because what your second greatest asset your car most people's second greatest asset it spends 90% of its time doing nothing you drive to work in it's parked hope you come home and it's parked 90% of its time doing nothing okay I come to work ten minutes after you a half hour after you an hour after you I'm using your car using my tell you right now you're not using my car oh no one's using his car I forgot this is LA this your happen okay for people with a quick steal your car is a utility rather than a something you're trying to get chicks with on the street corner oh stop people try to get chicks in New York - don't do not put the cars there's a lot of people that do nobody has car but if you do you're a baller you got one of them spots it cost you a thousand bucks a month baby I've seen some fancy cars when I've been in New York there's some fancy goods but that's not it's not it's not a hundred percent it's not a hard percent yeah but that's just that one stupid spot where you could still but you'll be delegate relegated to a lane where you won't be able to drive as fast as the automatically consider that if you're in a self-driving car and it wants to change lanes it communicates that to other self-driving cars near it their self-driving cars tell you to fuck off Russian it's not letting anybody in the Joe Rogan upload I feel like it wouldn't change anything if there's automated cars in Los Angeles I really do I don't think I don't think there'd be any less traffic I just think I'm gonna make a lane that'll take automated cars and it'll go 120 miles an hour and watching everybody with their wasted horsepower in there in there in active traffic stuck in traffic
