About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Anyone who thinks this guys is a "crackpot" literally has not a clue what he is talking about. This man is one of my personal hero's, he is a scientist in the truest sense. He is an investor in high technology, a computer scientist and astronomer. He is the smartest man ever to study UFOs, was 30 yrs ahead of his time & most students of UFOs are yet to catch up. He has been able to keep his feet in both worlds without losing credibility which is no mean feat!
truth!
A heretic among heretics! High praise indeed!
Jim hale. Yes! Yes! A thousand times YES!
Michael J. Harris - Right on!
Very Well put
In the next two years people will realize how far ahead Mr Vallee was with his theories / explanations of everything UAP related. Brilliant man. He should be nominated for a Nobel Prize.
This comment is damn near prophetic
@@docwhiskey996 If you listen to whistleblower Dave Grusch' explanation of The Phenomenon it sounds eerily similar to what Mr Vallee has been saying for about fifty years now. Grusch has stated physical additional space dimensions, 4D and 5D space, quantum mechanic physical dimensions, and "a higher dimensional physical space that might be co-located right here".
All theories, and quite complicated ones too, but if true amazing how Jacques had figured most of it out so many decades ago.
Hopefully the Schumer amendment passes because man oh man people will regard Vallee as a genius that was way ahead of his time
His interest in UAP is probably the only reason he hasn't already and probably won't be nominated, it would bring too much credibility to ufology. Dr Garry Nolan is suffering the same fate.
@@ankyspon1701 This is the unfortunate truth of the matter. He'll be vindicated next year though. Tom DeLonge, the man who was responsible for getting the connects to bring certain members of Congress up to speed leading to the creation of the UAP/NHI declassification amendment (also of Blink-182, yes) seems to think Vallee was on the money with a lot of his obversations considering he loves to use the term "control system" in regards to a large amount of NHI's origin and purpose. Vallee and Nolan will be vindicated and rewarded soon.
A thinker ahead of his time. Few intellectuals & scholars are willing to tackle the "phenomena." I believe when we look back many centuries from now w/ greater knowledge his name & work will shine through
Aún así, con su nteligencia y muchos estudios! No ha logrado saber quiénes son exactamente kis que tripulan los ovnis y que desean de los humanos!
No no creo! El mundo,! La humanidad ya no existirá más,!
As someone who has an advanced degree in physics, Mr. Vallee is anything but a "crackpot." These views expressed here are among the most cutting edge concepts in the field. Out of curiosity, what are the credentials of the local yokels claiming that he doesn't know what he is talking about? Ahhh, I see . . . . .
kkkk, the only crackpot i can see here is you and your chill minions
@@lagartixxx Ignorance is bliss I see.
Vallée says 14:23 "... dimensions are a cultural artifact, we create dimensions ..." yet he's a proponent of the interdimensional hypothesis to explain UFOs - no comprende!
@@weeroonafarm5981 universe doesn't care about dimensions, we do. That's what he means. Don't poison the well.
@@weeroonafarm5981 also keep listening after he says that. Don't lie
The best thing about Vallée is the reason he started looking into UFOs, never had the slightest interest until watching a scientist he was working with destroy pictures and he realized odd things sometimes occur but no one was studying it. Almost all of science runs on grants and there's not always enough for everyone the thought of science going unstudied upset him enough to dedicate his life to it he knew hard that road would be but did anyway
Could you refer me to a link where he speaks about these experiences? I'm seeing a lot of interviews where they're just... talking.
@@ZONEDINN528 all over. Go watch him on Rogan podcast
He literally says in this video that he saw a UFO as a child and that's what sparked his interest.
What he hints at is science, particularly physics or quantum dynamics will hit a wall eventually, and acknowledge reluctantly variables of preternatural phenomenon…a heretic to scientific zealots, but to those whom experience synchronicities too many times in existence to label them coincidence he is an oracle bard of respite for the spirit.
I think it's inevitable that the physics of our Universe or at least the physical laws that manifest on our level of existence are a specialized subset of a more fundamental laws of informatics.
@@nenirouvelliv @jose urzua Both of your observations are spot on and valuable insights
I could happily listen to this man for hours and hours. He's an absolute Genuis and years ahead of everyone else in the study of the ufo phenomenon. Love him
i like his approach. he doesnt 'distract' away from the core focus. he gradually coaxes you and politely compartmentalizes what 'physics' as an example, should do and what they shouldn't do.
Any U.S. president should have Jacques Vallee as a member of her or his team to provide crucial input.
his books are truly amazing - have read all of them. glad to have seen him speak in my hometown at a wonderful venue.
I have such respect for Jacques Valler I have read his works over the years and have great admiration for his courage to persevere and to ask the hard questions
He is mentioned in both of DW Pasulka's recent book, amazing guy
DW Pasulka - I love her work and reading American Cosmic now.
And her two recent books are amazing.
absolutely brilliant and truly open minded.
He didnt say anything at all
Jacque's talk was great, what he says seems to be closely reflecting what Thomas Campbell and many others are saying. All the people I admire the most are in agreeance that this reality that we perceive is only a small part of a larger framework, and that consciousness goes on after physical death. I really, really hope that they are right.
Brillaint scientist! and ahead of his time! Personnally I agree with him regarding his theory on the UFO phenomenon.
I agree. He is one of the few clear thinkers that said regarding ufo's that while there is much reason to believe something is there there is NO evidence that they come from "somewhere else." That they could be earth based but still beyond our comprehension.
And what is his hypothesis regarding UFOs, exactly?
RAZORREVOLUTION1
Its really complicated, Vallee is considered the most academic empirical guy in UFOlogy, but his theories are/were extremely outrageous and unique, especially in the 1980s-90's But at the same time his hypothesis better explained the patterns of absurd or illogical aspects of the UFO phenomenon that never fit the archetype narrative of material ETs flying material spaceships.
A brilliant man.
RAZORREVOLUTION1 That ‘they’ aka, UFOs probably aren’t alien but more to do with human consciousness projection.
this man is a genius !
Another Einstein
No one on Earth knows as much about the UFO phenomenon as this man. Passport to Magonia completely made me rethink Irish folklore in terms of alien visitations.
but thats not his point ... his point is the reverse. that you should reassess all these UFO propaganda in the lens of folklore, religion and mythology.
Ever see that disney movie called Darby O Gill and the Little People? Check it out
A true hero. If there is a God, please give this man a few more decades of health. It'll be such a huge loss for humanity when he is gone.
Love this man's voice. Nice to fall asleep too.
This is Brilliant, pointed out exactly what is needed for further development and progress in Physics.
I was on a date with a girl in college. We were out at the bar drinking and decided to just walk home. It was longer than we thought, but decided to keep walking. On our walk we stopped on the sidewalk and were talking for a minute. There was a car down the road turning left and would be coming down the road we're we were once the light turned green. The girl I was with looked at the car, which was still at the light and not moving, and told me that the car was going to hit us. I said, "ya right"! About 15 seconds later the light turned green and the car begin to turn and travel parallel to us. The car suddenly turned towards us, jumped the curb, and was heading right for us. We grabbed each other and jumped in grass and bushes. We were nearly killed by the car and the girl new before it happened. It was such a crazy experience.
sorry, late reply, this was like a precognition event, do you know if this happened to her before or since? fascinating, it had to be quite shocking.
This type of precognition has happened to me a few times. I analogize it to fast forwarding the recording of my life to watch a scene that comes after the moment that I'm currently experiencing.
A stranger has already stopped in front of our house and came to tell us that my father was going to hurt his face at work, that my mother was going to be seriously ill and that my sister was going to have a car accident. Everything happened quickly as he said. We clearly do not yet understand how our world works...
Jacques Vallée should hang out with Stephan Wolfram. What he is talking about with information and energy being two sides of the same coin comes down to the universe being computational, and that is exactly what Wolfram and his team are working on.
Love this man! This is awesome.
Jacques Valles is iconic
information physics... I've been torturing my brain for years now, trying to figure out the implications that the well-proven phenomenon of quantum superposition (tweaked into macroscopic objects btw) would have on both consciousness and the collective world we all share. this might offer a clue. Absolutely brilliant, as usual from JV.
My mind is blown away, every time I listen to Mr. Vallée...
if they interact, then they become part of the same universe. so sprit is subject to laws of physics. most prominently 'entropy'. I'd say there's such a thing as soul, and it is just 'information' on a substrate. Software is a good analogy to soul. So if the brain is the computational substrate (hardware), then the soul is the 'software'. There is some independent existence by the fact that it just transcends the substrate that it is on, not because it's beyond this world.
So if they interact in our universe in a physical sense, they are governed by the shape or form they inhabit according to our physics?
What happens when you turn the computer off?
Not a dynamic speaker, but *a brilliant mind striving to understand "the nature of reality" and the so-called "UFO" phenomena "outside the box" and inside The Matrix."*
For the record: I concluded that Dr. Vallee was right about 'ufos' way back in 1968, after my own exhaustive research on the subject. it has a spiritual dimension, not just physical or organic or technological.
What do you mean by spiritual? Is that what Vallee thinks? Any video of his take?
I agree that he's not a "dynamic" speaker. I find him to be a very irritating one tbh.
Guess I'll just have to read his papers or transcripts of what he has said to find out.
@@JediStockTrader you should read American Cosmic by Diana Pasulka, published in 2019. She was guided by Vallee in her research. This book was a revelation for me. Also I would recommend The Invisible College by Jacques Vallee.
@@paulatreides6779 Thank you for sharing these recommendations
@@homesigns You are welcome! Meanwhile I found and read the Forbidden Science Vol. 1 to 4 which are the journals of Vallee since he was a student. It was fascinating to find out how much work he and others did on the subject and also about his internal struggles. After reading these books my appreciation for this man went higher.
Seth has introduced some of this information from the early 60's. Vallee is one of my favorite authors.
Coincidences could inform you that you are part of a bigger life than you suspect.
I have the utmost respect for Mr. Vallee; it is unfortunate that he still references Uri Geller, (the fraud) at this late date. (2011)
The last step is heavy, but is great. Consciousness traverses associations. It's our consciousness that creates the illusion of space and time. In other words, the physical word is a creation of consciousness.
Feels like a catch 22 or chicken and egg problem. Conscience creates the universe. The universe make conscience possible.
Brilliant! Thank you for this :)
This is one of jacques best short presentations. This is so aligned with my own unexplainable experiences and my emerging new world view.
Have you read the work of Diana Walsh Pasulka?
@@kt4774 listened to all the podcasts but never picked up the books. Thanks for the recommendation.
Jaques Valle'e is absolutely brilliant
YES, SIR! I was listening to this video for the first time. A couple minutes into the lecture I got into a completely unrelated and very immotional, conversation with my wife. 15 seconds after we had finished speaking, I said the same and absolutely unrelated phrase/words to her.
It happens far more often than can be articulated.
No reasoning for it. The subject matter could be meaningful or trivial. I don't know how or why.
No lottery #'s yet, but such a broad spectrum of subject "Coincidence". I don't know what to "think" about it.
I'm in awe of this man. It's my most sincere wish that he is recognized during his lifetime for his genius. Information theory is where it's at (I find it disturbing that Claude Shannon is not as common a household name as Einstein). Keep on keeping ok Jaques!
The 2 physics he speaks of (energy and information) are the ancient concepts/‘gods’ of Hinduism called Siva and Sakti
Thank you sincerely for beign an another human who thinks along these tracks. I thought I was the only one
Now I have two strongholds to rely
Thank you Mr Jaques Vallé and prof Philippe Guillemant
Lately I have been interested in how the consept of ”now” emerges and more generally how do dimensions come by. How do they combine and eventually give rise to the more derived consepts such as ”time” that do not exist per se.
Wow! He said what I have believed in most of my life! That is: The real creator (if existed) is actually creating the universe and keeping it from vanishing at every single moment.
He was quoting a book written in medieval times
@@ryanblankenship5004 Which means what? Do we really know more about this now? Colour me slightly unconvinced.
time is an abstraction, like length. a cube is "a few meters long". reading this sentence takes "a few moments".
there are no "moments". there is only that wich is measured. takes you 10 seconds to run 50 meters.
anyway, space in itself is an abstraction. it's like in videogames. you're walking through a 3d city in GTA 5, on your 2d screen.
this world can easily be a videogame in a future dystopia in which we're enslaved, forced to wear VR helmets that we can't remove
@@criztu And..............it probably isn't, see Tom Campbell's work. He utilises the virtual reality model to explain .....everything.....improbable yet actual.
Firstly Vallee is a visionary & thinks outside the box. He approaches any phenomena as a scientist and rather than simply make sweeping statements like are listed here. "nonsense.....pseudo-science", what are these comments based on, something you simply disagree with or is this ignorance yet again? Vallee is a computer scientist, information is his game. Before commenting read his books and papers.
What a wise and thoughtful speaker and storyteller.
Such a fascinating man, it would not surprise me in the slightest if Mr Vallee is also a real magus!
With quantum computing is in it's early developmental research, you eventually may get the result even before posing the question!
Read his book Dimensions.... wow!
Plus he has an MS in Astrophysics and a PhD in Computer Science...
I know him and believe him to be one of the great minds of this century
I have to listen to this again, Dummy vs Quantum Mechanic
It's a shame this doesn't have more views.
Does he mean we need to explore the human consciousness because it holds the secret to our existence?
Byron Q Yes, that is exactly what he means. Check out the Institute for Noetic Science.
No.....
He's late to the party, new agers been saying this forever, Buddhism et al..
Hanniffy Dinn not you again you nutter who believes aliens made Stonhenge..
@@davedmusic3598 much of what we see at Stonehenge today is less than 70 years old, being lifted into place by well meaning amateurs using modern for time lifting equipment.
An amazing man !!!
Charles Fort was an avid collector of co-incidences
Fortean Society, yes, That would have been a lot of fun to belong to that group! having an appreciative audience for all those of us who have had at *least*one amazing coincidence happen in our own lives.... I know i have had several pretty weird ones
I wonder if the "Missing Sister" he kept talking about (at a TED conference in Belgium) was a reference to the Dutroux affair.
I've had many situations... where I was oddly able to have influence on moments to happen, which would not normally happen. One example, is that my roommate of the time was an early to bed type of person. She worked a full time job, and started early in the AM. I was on my way home at 2am or so, one night, and was starving. I knew that my roommate would be asleep, but I willed her to be up and cooking something so hard! I thought deeply about it.... and when I got home, she was making eggs!!!
"Consciousness is generating the illusion of space & time." Of course, that's it. Information comes to us in dreams, visions, or happenstance & we must translate it into our 3-dimensional existence. So we put it through a kind of strainer or filter of space & time.
I liked Jacques approach in ufology back in the time.
Now I need to read more about this physics of information.
Are there scientists researching/having written books about that?
Optimus6128 maybe read his book Stratagem
Look into Stephen Wolfram and his work
He makes sense to me. There is no such thing as time. It's all the same day. Everything simply deteriorates, and gravity doesn't exist. Denser objects simply fall downward if submerged in a less dense solution.
You can see the audience begin to squirm when it starts to get a little "woo."
Someday they explain that Dejavu is nothing more than the brain perceiving multidimensional information
I came to the same conclusion, some time ago
Consciousness is primary. All else is a construct of consciousness, see Tom Campbell for the comprehensive model which explains that statement.
I ❤ THIS!
3:50 he messes up the explanation of Szilard's response to maxwell's demon. Szilard essentially said that the 2nd law isn't violated because you need to consider the entropy of the demon and the gas combined due to it's interaction with the system, instead of just the gas. Bennet is the one who showed the demon cannot violate the 2nd law because it would have to eventually delete information about the atoms in the gas, which would be entropically costly.
I hope so, Wonders In The Sky was just a historical collection of case summaries, many of which were fully described in his other books. He should at least release new editions the Alien Contact Trilogy. That's his most fascinating and well written work, and they're not available in e-book form.
I would like to know what Mr Valee thinks, if anything, about the goings on in a particular area in France.
The Languedoc Roussillon region. What does he think of that? I just wonder.
thetourle this is an interesting pondering.
Whatis this comment regarding? What is happening in that region that is significant?
Quoi? I live in Languedoc and friend in the local govt has amazed me with several spectacular UFO sightings at his place. He lives in a valley, a gorge if you like, of the Vienne river, isolated,; and his near neighbours agree with what he says.....
Beautiful
The physical universe and the spiritual universe inter-act and interface in ways few understand or even give credence to. yet it is vital to see AT LEAST this much: the spiritual universe is about pristine & eternal IDEALS. the earthly/physical is about energy and matter acted upon by intelligence & WILL.{which is a principle trait of Spirit}
Brussel is in Belgium.
It's the first time I've seen the clock for the amount of time the speaker is allowed to speak counting down on the stage
Mind blown.
I really think one might go crazy if they study this stuff, the stuff of future and what or who creates it.
Interesting point.
“Whenever a set of unusual circumstances is presented , it is in the nature of the human mind to analyze it until a rational pattern is encountered at some level . But it is quite conceivable that nature should present us with circumstances so deeply organized that our observational and logical errors would entirely mask the pattern to be identified . To the [ genuine ] scientist there is nothing new here .”
― Jacques Vallée
Holography of i-reflection containment in this log-antilog relative-timing standing wave-packaging phenomenon.., that is why these word-labels make the degree of Actual Intelligence information In-form-ation we can imagine we understand.
Excellent video, if you have a mind for it.
What if, in the future, time travel has been discovered. Every trip back in time would just create another parallel reality, which we are unaware of. Observation and intensions do change the future, if you do nothing, it is still a decision, and future events will unfold. Something as simple as doing laundry, making a phone call or a post, changes what will happen in the future, ever so slightly as to change how events unfold, based on the choice you made.
...some thoughts after the green tea
I can enjoy the notion of time travel as much as any, However as you indicate, visitation from future humanity is problematical as it implies that we exist in a system in which the future can influence the past. This is deeply implausible requiring squaring the circle of causation with all the time travel paradoxes needing logically de-paradoxising before the notion of a stable reality can even be seriously contemplated and certainly not realised. It requires a future which already exists rather than a future which will exist as an evolutionary product of the decisions we, living now, make now. I balk at the idea of parallel realities splitting from this one, as every event in the entire universe and every decision made by every conscious entity would create further universes, 8 billion people just on this planet making hundreds of decisions every day. ..that's a F*(k of a lot of universes..
Synchronicity: Happening across this video a few hours after watching a documentary about TWA800...and then hearing Jacques Vallée, whose Ted Talk you happened across through a completely different UA-cam path, using the incident surrounding TWA800 as an example of synchronicity. That was what happened to me today.
i read the book THE DEMON IN THE MACHINE recently.. few weeks ago... similar topics...
Some information about the speaker in your video description would be most useful.
Does anyone know any good resurces about Vallee's physics of information? I would really really like to read more.
I feel the same way. I first watched this recording about a month ago. Ever since then, I've been searching for more of Vallee's writings and videos. I purchased a couple of his books, which I'm reading now. I think his physics of information theory is also being worked on by others. So I'm looking into that as well. Good luck to both of us. 👍
When i was a boy, i was shooting darts alone, outside the clubhouse of my fathers fotball team.
After shooting some darts, one dart, just before it was about to hit the target-board, the dart took a 90 degree turn and then it turned 90 degrees again around the house-corner i ran after and i saw it was going straight all the way all the way to the other side of the far side of the house, turning again around the next corner and apperantly another kid was playing there and the dart hit him right in the back of his head. Pritty deep to. I was trying to explaine to everyone it wasnt me who did it, but we where the only two who where outside and i was the only one playing with darts..and until this day 30 years later im still the one who threw a dart into the backhead of my fathers friend kid. They are still close friends so i hearit alot...
But i sware to god, it wasnt me. Someone or something intelligent was controlling the dart.
In real life i have to take it ofc, but the truth is that it wasnt me..

Yup, and God the creator, shows his handy work in all DNA.
@@alantasman8273 : ORPHEUS
what about self-seeding errors? sorry, i am highly allergic to "world's foremost authorities".
Reality is an informational construct, possibly even a computer construct, and highly-improbable and meaningful (aka informational based) coincidences hint at this.
To use two terms Dr Vallée did not, is his or Philippe Guillemant's theory involving "reverse causality" based only on "excess coincidence"? Is the theory testable, or otherwise usable?
Awesome
Anyone have anything on Facius Cordanos, or can direct me in the right direction? I’d appreciate it, thank you.
I wonder what these co-incidences mean. These things have been happening to me in a regular basis from the last year or so. Co-incidences that have like a million to one chances happen almost daily. What should I deduce from this?
Because we all experience coincidences, this is a sign that our life is the message that the universe is expressing. Our consciousness perceives certain events as "random" coincidences, when they're not truly random but actually woven into the fabric of our life message.

We've begun to move into a new age.
@INFILTR8US BTW Some of what I have said was insight gleaned from books like "Being No One" by Thomas Metzinger which consists of over 600 pages of "Functional Analytic Philosophy" in which Metzinger uses terms like "Phenomenal Model Intentionality Relations" to refer to "identities" comprising the Phenomenal Self-Model (PSM). I've "laymanized" this to "identities" and "self-model". Not good enough for you? Try reading Metzinger.
the third thing that disgusted me was particles
Very interesting
Self-reflection as a fundamental constraint. Expand the Anthropic Principle to a Stronger form. Recognize that things do not exist in the absence of a cognitive representation of them. Independent thingness is an artefact of consciousess and in the absence of conscious self-awareness there is no definite thingness. The universe in and of itself cannot be efficacious without having its effect upon some conscious domain and no conscious domain can exist which does not relate back to a self-model.
