Terrence Howard’s earliest memories: womb awareness and birth recollections
Howard opens with an origin story that frames his lifelong curiosity as beginning before birth. He describes memories from inside the womb, the experience of birth, and a later effort to test fetal responsiveness with light and music during his wife’s pregnancy.
- •Claims first memory occurred in the womb at ~6 months gestation
- •Describes remembering birth and circumcision
- •Experiment with light/music to elicit fetal tracking behavior
- •Concerns about potentially affecting development (umbilical cord)
- •Connects early fascination with light to his son’s abilities
- 3:00 – 6:27
The “palace” dream and lucid access to knowledge (and patents as proof)
Howard recounts a childhood dream featuring a guiding figure and a mansion-like “palace” of unusual geometric shapes. He says this became a repeatable lucid-dream space where he could retrieve knowledge, later manifested as inventions and patents.
- •A being asks what he wants; he answers: understanding how everything works
- •Describes crystalline flowers and non-Platonic shapes
- •Says he gained lucid control and could return to the palace in dreams
- •Frames his later innovations as evidence of dream-derived knowledge
- •Introduces idea of a ‘greater self’ guiding him
- 6:27 – 9:46
Acting as a detour—and a return to science after public hardship
Howard explains he pursued acting partly to win his mother’s affection, then later reframed career setbacks and controversies as course-corrections. He describes reconnecting with scientific pursuits, patenting ideas, and seeking mentors aligned with alternative physics traditions.
- •Motivation for acting tied to family dynamics and maternal affection
- •Mother’s late revelations and regret about ‘proper course’
- •Domestic-violence accusations as a disruptive life chapter
- •Return to the dream ‘palace’ and renewed invention/patenting
- •Mentions Michael Hudak and influences like John Keeley and Walter Russell
- 9:46 – 12:34
Rebuilding the periodic table: tone, color, and octaves of elements
Howard argues the conventional periodic table hides deeper relationships among elements. He proposes elements relate by musical “tones” and octaves, linking spectroscopy, color-to-sound conversion, and cyclical/spiral organization rather than a boxed grid.
- •Critiques the standard ‘box’ layout of the periodic table
- •Claims hydrogen shares a ‘tone/key’ relationship with carbon, silicon, cobalt, etc.
- •Explains doubling frequencies by octaves (light to sound by halving)
- •Introduces Walter Russell’s spiral/unwinding periodic table
- •Asserts ‘elements’ may be one substance under different states
- 12:34 – 17:37
Element “mates,” frequency-based chemistry, and provocative claims about separating water
Howard extends the octave/mate idea into chemistry, suggesting elements pair as equal-and-opposite partners that dominate bonding behavior. He argues frequency could drive separations (e.g., water splitting) without conventional energy-intensive methods.
- •Describes equal-and-opposite ‘mates’ like sodium/chlorine, lithium/fluorine
- •Claims introducing certain elements/frequencies breaks existing bonds violently
- •Asserts water could be separated via beryllium ‘sound’ instead of electrolysis
- •Connects octave progression: lithium→sodium→potassium
- •Explains arsenic toxicity via mistaken ‘tone’ substitution in DNA (nitrogen/phosphorus analogy)
- 17:37 – 27:25
No straight lines: curvature, electricity vs magnetism, and a critique of Einstein/Newton framing
Howard pivots to a broad metaphysical-physics argument: nature is curved and wave-based, and scientific models overuse straight lines and incomplete balance. He posits electricity and magnetism are opposites (contractive vs radiative), and claims mainstream physics misses this equanimity.
- •‘Show me a real straight line in nature’ as a foundational claim
- •Electric = contractive/breathing in; magnetic = radiative/breathing out
- •Critiques Einstein for coupling electricity/magnetism and omitting ‘balance’
- •Uses anecdotes (Kahlil Gibran story; limits of human perception)
- •Argues E=mc² implies expansion without the contractive counterpart
- 27:25 – 31:02
Flower of Life vs Platonic solids: negative space as the missing geometry
Using visuals from his book, Howard claims ancient geometry took a wrong turn by ‘averaging’ curved intersections into straight edges. He emphasizes negative space where circles/bubbles meet as physically meaningful and foundational to matter/forces.
- •Pulls up tcotlc.com book pages and Platonic solids diagrams
- •Says straight lines were ‘invented’ by averaging curved circle overlaps
- •Frames the ‘Flower of Life’ as the oldest human symbol
- •Connects the shift toward straight lines to church/flat-world assumptions
- •Introduces building shapes from curved ‘universal ratios’ rather than Euclidean lines
- 31:02 – 38:40
Bubble-intersection structures: tetraon, photon-like forms, crystallization, and “final state” matter
Howard walks through a sequence of 3D models representing negative space between 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 bubbles. He associates these with forces (weak/strong), photon structure, crystallization rules, and a Bose–Einstein-condensate-like indistinguishability state.
- •4-bubble negative space labeled as ‘hydrogen’ structure
- •8-bubble negative space (‘tetraon’) with pole/vortex counting arguments
- •6-bubble structure likened to a photon; discussion of pole counts and light speed digits
- •12-bubble structure linked to crystallization with ‘unaccounted poles’
- •24-bubble structure described as indistinguishable from space (BEC-like)
- 38:40 – 50:39
Reception and conflict: Neil deGrasse Tyson, ‘1×1=2,’ and hostility to alternative frameworks
Howard describes outreach to Neil deGrasse Tyson and a breakdown after sending a controversial treatise. He says Tyson rejected his premises—especially the ‘1×1=2’ argument—and attacked sources like Tesla, Walter Russell, and Keeley.
- •Says his treatise began with ‘1×1=2’ to challenge multiplication logic
- •Claims Tyson red-lined and dismissed the work and stopped responding
- •Critiques mainstream reliance on probability/uncertainty and removal of ‘ether’
- •Mentions Cambridge’s David Tong and claims ‘physics is a lie’ sentiment
- •Frames disagreement as institutional defense of established curriculum
- 50:39 – 59:54
Cosmology reframe: planetary drift, universe age, and speculation about asteroid belt origins
Howard argues that measured planetary drift implies a vastly older universe than standard cosmology. He extends this to claims about solar systems ‘giving birth’ to planets, a former planet forming the asteroid belt, and humanoids emerging cyclically in shifting habitable zones.
- •Calculates time implied by Earth drifting away from the Sun (linear extrapolation)
- •Suggests Mars once occupied a Goldilocks zone; Venus may inherit it later
- •Claims asteroid belt may be remnants of a destroyed planet
- •Speculates advanced tech (CERN-like) could have ‘popped’ that planet
- •Reiterates ‘periodic table’ as periodicity of pressure/motion conditions, not fixed elements
- 59:54 – 1:36:22
Rebuilding Saturn without gravity: linchpin vortex simulation and hexagon validation
Howard presents a short simulation video demonstrating Saturn-like structure formation from vortex arrangements he calls ‘linchpins,’ without invoking gravity or dark matter/energy. The segment includes repeated technical hiccups and jokes about interference, followed by comparison to Saturn’s observed polar hexagon.
- •Claims the simulation produces Saturn’s rings and polar hexagon without animation
- •Describes 16 vortex lines arranged in a linchpin configuration (angles 120° and 109.5°)
- •Asserts gravity is an effect of electricity, not a fundamental cause
- •Uses Saturn hexagon imagery as observational corroboration
- •Discusses ether and critiques Michelson–Morley interpretation
- 1:36:22 – 1:43:04
Patents and credibility: AR/VR ‘World of Windows’ and being cited by major companies
Howard shifts to tangible proof of inventorship, pulling up an AR/VR-related patent and its citations by large corporations. He frames this as evidence he is a serious inventor whose ideas are used widely despite public skepticism.
- •Shows ‘System and method for merging virtual reality and reality’ patent details
- •Highlights citation list including Sony, Microsoft, Amazon, IBM, HP
- •Claims the patent was abandoned and he earned no money from it
- •Argues this establishes technical legitimacy beyond acting
- •Transitions back to gravity/electric-field explanation and practical tech implications
- 1:43:04 – 2:03:57
Linchpin tech and propulsion: drones, tangential flight, lightning-from-water, and decoupling from ‘gravity’
Howard proposes a suite of technologies derived from his geometry: drones that bond mid-air, new propulsion via plasma/lightning generated from water, and travel by frequency-based ‘decoupling’ from Earth/solar/galactic frames. He connects these ideas to UAP behavior and argues mainstream constants (gravity, c, Planck) are misconstrued.
- •Explains ‘tangential flight’ as sustained spin about center of mass
- •Shows swarm concept: multiple drones bonding to lift objects (end of cranes)
- •Describes patented ‘projectile/propulsion’ device: water→plasma ‘lightning in a bottle’
- •Argues gravity is non-constant and an electrical-field effect
- •Connects UAP propulsion to frequency/Schumann resonance and opposition tones
- 2:03:57 – 2:32:18
Suppression, ridicule, and personal cost: Oxford talk limits, Rolling Stone framing, and Iron Man/Marvel fallout
Howard details institutional barriers (e.g., inability to show visuals at Oxford), skepticism tied to his celebrity, and media portrayals casting him as unstable. He also recounts personal and career conflicts, including blackmail claims and losing the Iron Man role, framing these as pivotal to his renewed mission.
- •Oxford presentation allegedly restricted from using projector/screens at last minute
- •Rolling Stone headline ‘A Very Dangerous Mind’ and perceived agenda-driven portrayal
- •Recounts personal blackmail story involving recordings and loss of mother’s tapes
- •Details Marvel contract dispute and recasting with Don Cheadle
- •Frames adversity as redirecting him toward scientific work and patents
- 2:32:18 – 3:08:59
Consciousness, ‘everything alive,’ and closing reflections on integrity, fame, and advice
The conversation closes with broader philosophy: panpsychism-like claims that all matter is alive and consciousness is ubiquitous, plus commentary on human behavior, currency, and spiritual ethics. They end with a Fear Factor question, criticism of TV’s exploitative incentives, and an anecdote-based moral about seeing the divine in others.
- •Claims plants/biological systems demonstrate sentience and cooperation (mycelial sharing)
- •Argues consciousness is universal; ‘everything is a piece of God’
- •Discusses gold obsession, Anunnaki narratives, and human incentives
- •Howard critiques fame as ‘emotional whoring’ while acknowledging helping audiences
- •Final advice: recognize God in others; balance discipline with human flaws
