Deepak Chopra

The two most important questions in science right now, what's the universe made of? 70% of the universe is a mysterious entity called dark energy. And we have no idea what it is. 27% is another mysterious entity called dark matter. So bottom line, what's the universe made of?

I started playing with ChatGPT, Perplexity, DeepSeek. I started actually arguing with these AI services. All the chatbots started supporting my argument based on the prompt. So I realized that even AI has selection bias. It has a gender bias, it has a racial bias, even a scientific bias.

AI, in principle, could cause human extinction. Technology is way ahead of our spiritual evolution. That's a very dangerous combination. Unless there's a critical mass of people shifting in consciousness, we are in trouble. the number one health and wellness podcast. Jay Shetty.

Thank you. for always being there for me too.

Well, first of all, thank you, Jay, for having me. As you know, the last maybe two decades, I've been interested in the nature of what is fundamental reality. What's the universe made of? And how do we know what we know? And those are the two most important questions in science right now.

If you go on Google and say, what are the 125 open questions in science, the first open question in science is, what's the universe made of? And you would say we know what the universe is made of. It's atoms, molecules, force fields, gravity, etc., Well, for those who don't keep up with the science, 70% of the universe is a mysterious entity called dark energy. And we have no idea what it is.

It's a force that's the opposite of gravity. So as we are speaking right now, the space between galaxies is moving faster than the speed of light, something called the cosmological constant. described by Einstein, and then after he described it, he said, it's an embarrassment, I didn't mean it, or something like that. But he was actually right.

There is some entity that is expanding the universe faster than the speed of light. We don't know what it is, except it's the opposite of gravity. So that leaves 30% of the universe, which is... basically remaining. Of that, 27% is another mysterious entity called dark matter. The reason it's called dark matter, it's invisible.

Matter is normally things like this, or your body, or this piece of furniture. You can see it, you can touch it, matter, material. But dark matter is invisible, so you can't see it. So why do we call it matter? It's responsible for most of the gravity in the universe. So if you didn't have dark matter, planets would spiral off and disappear into intergalactic space. You and I wouldn't be here.
