While Rogan was talking to Dr. Kaku, he was curious to know about the changes that have already happened in the current world due to quantum computers. Kaku detailed how it’s going to bring more changes in the coming years. During the conversation, Rogan asked, “What is the world look like if there is no secrets?

Explaining the efficiency of quantum computers to Rogan, Dr. Kaku said, “Yes, a good question. I mean, some people say what happens if all the codes are broken. Sometimes this happened in the past. We are still here. There wasn’t doomsday, but it does effect the progress for war. During World War II, we broke the German code. It was a computer that broke the German code and we knew exactly what the Germans were gonna do before war broke out in certain areas and that saved thousands of lives. There was situation when it did make a difference… Nations steal secrets from other nations all the time and we are still here.“
After listening to Kaku’s answer, Rogan seemed terrified. He said, “For now, for now, until we blow ourselves up.” The former Fear Factor host was deeply concerned about the world that would be driven by technology. He realized that technology could not be limited and will keep on growing without any limitations. The UFC commentator fears a world where technology rules and the same factors cause threats to human life. On several occasions, Rogan has expressed his fear of technology overpowering human efficiency.
