Joe Rogan Experience #2570 - Mystery Boys · Aired Oct 23, 2026
Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Mental illnesses and cancers are potentially related to time-space ripples caused by black hole collisions.
The finding
What remains unresolved
The speaker explicitly presents a crazy idea and uses maybe, potentially and we just don't know. It is speculation about illness, not a reported scientific result. Detecting gravitational waves does not establish that they cause cancer or psychiatric illness. No supporting causal study was identified; the hypothesis remains unresolved and should not be presented as an established medical claim.
No supporting source was captured. This finding should not be treated as a sourced conclusion.
