Terrence Howard: Oscar-nominated actor (Hustle & Flow, Empire, Iron Man) turned self-styled inventor and theorist who claims 97 patents and a grand unified field theory.
What this episode covers
Terrence Howard recounts childhood dreams that he says granted him access to all knowledge, and how legal and career setbacks pushed him back toward his physics work. He argues that the conventional periodic table and Newtonian/Einsteinian physics are wrong because they rely on straight lines and removed 'the ether,' and presents his 'wave conjugations,' 'Lynch pin,' and Walter Russell-inspired ideas instead. He shows videos claiming to rebuild Saturn without gravity, describes inventions like tangential flight and a water-based plasma propulsion gun, and recounts feuds with Neil deGrasse Tyson and a critical Rolling Stone profile. The conversation also covers his COVID-vaccine skepticism, Ivermectin, the Tuskegee experiment, ancient civilizations, aliens, and consciousness in all matter.

Big reveals from this episode
- Howard claims he remembers being inside the womb, being born, and being circumcised as his first memories.
- He says recurring childhood dreams of a 'Palace' gave him access to all knowledge, which he credits for his 97 patents.
- He claims to have rebuilt the periodic table based on tones and octaves, asserting elements 'unwind' into each other.
- He presents a particle simulation he says rebuilds the planet Saturn, including its rings and hexagon, without gravity.
- He describes inventing 'tangential flight' and the 'Lynch pin' device with unlimited midair bonding.
- He claims his abandoned 'World of Windows' patent is the basis of the entire AR/VR industry and has earned over $7 trillion.
- He describes a granted patent for a water-to-plasma 'lightning' propulsion gun.
- He alleges an ex-fiancee staged domestic-violence photos and blackmailed him, costing him the Iron Man sequels.
Worth remembering
- Howard says he was working on a grand unified field equation by age 78... (he means at a young age referencing his patent timeline).
- He claims Einstein said on his deathbed he should have spent more time reading Walter Russell's work.
- Howard, 55, says he smokes cigarettes and uses detox supplement drops on a timer to remove metals and parasites.
- He says he weighed 256 lbs when his wife met him and now intermittent fasts following her routine.
- He recounts the Tuskegee experiment, where the government left syphilis untreated in Black men for roughly 60 years.
- He claims a grain of rice has 54,000 genomes while humans have only 26,000.
- He notes hemoglobin and chlorophyll share the same carbon-hydrogen structure, differing only in iron vs magnesium at the center.
- He cites the doubling of human brain size over 2 million years as evidence of external manipulation.
- He recounts eating a roach, cicada, and sheep on Fear Factor.
