Joe Rogan’s latest podcast with Terrence Howard bewildered both Hollywood and the UFC world. The Hollywood star who is known for his roles in ‘Iron Man’, ‘Empire’, and ‘Crash’ was a guest in episode number 2152, where he revealed shocking things about the universe. The topics of discussion ranged from his remembering his birth and stretched to how he can rebuild Saturn without gravity. While Neil deGrasse Tyson dismissed his ideas, Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen also went down the rabbit hole as they laid bare their opinion on one of the most interesting JRE episodes to date.
Speaking on ‘The Fighter and The Kid’, Schaub and Callen spoke about topics including Jon Jones’ potential fight with Tom Aspinall and Connor McGregor, supposedly starring in the new Popeye movie. However, the most interesting point of discussion was the recent podcast episode of Joe Rogan with Terrence Howard. The duo started dissecting what the ‘Iron Man’ actor said about mathematics and the universe.
Schaub complimented Rogan by saying that he patiently listened to all the theories and gave his guests a platform for presenting their ideas without judgment. However, the former UFC fighter did not seem happy about the claims made by the Hollywood actor as he reckoned, “Either Terrence Howard is batsh*t crazy or we are just all stupid and he’s on something.” Brendan Schaub also seemed surprised with the kind of support that the 55-year-old has been receiving from fans all across the globe.

Meanwhile, Callen simplified the phenomenon and this might reduce people’s confusion about their perspective on the actor’s theories. Callen pointed out that two of his mathematician friends told him that what Howard was doing was adding some truth to his hypothetical theories. The comedian gave the example of the periodic table stating that people only know the simplified version of that table and there are more complicated versions available. He said, “If you read enough, you will pick up on enough to be dangerous. But it doesn’t mean that you’re coming up with maths that can be applied to the physical world and all that stuff.”
While Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen did not seem much impressed by the research laid out by Howard, Joe Rogan’s reaction to the same has been making the headlines. The UFC commentator was not only shocked at the actor’s theories but also at how Neil deGrasse Tyson dismissed him and refused to listen to him.

Joe Rogan was baffled by Neil deGrasse Tyson’s response
Howard alleged that Neil deGrasse Tyson was critical of the fact that the actor used theories from Nikola Tesla, and this left Rogan confused. Howard confirmed that Tyson had criticized Tesla, along with Walter Russell and John Keely. Rogan was visibly shocked and asked whether deGrasse Tyson’s field of study comprised this or not.

Howard said, “He’s an astrophysicist” while adding“But Walter Russell talked about the fact that the Sun gave birth to the Earth. That it didn’t coalesce from some field.” When Howard tried to share the treaties that he made with the astrophysicist, Tyson disregarded the theories. The actor likewise noted how Tyson asked him to consult someone else and did not take his calls. This was also very shocking to Rogan because he had spoken to the scientist in his podcast before and only had good things to say about him.
While Howard’s claims certainly come as a shock to the scientific world and it will take time for people to warm up to it, the theories might have some truth. Do you believe what the actor is explaining? Drop your views in the comments below.
