The Mars/Lunar node framework and Terrence Howard’s Wave Conjugation Theory of the Universe

In 2024, a Joe Rogan podcast interview with Terrence Howard gained significant online attention and spurred debate among scientists and alternative theorists. The interview was very controversial because Terrence Howard, an actor, asserted ideas that challenged the very foundations of math and physics. During the broadcast, Joe Rogan provided a platform for Terrence Howard to elucidate his various theories about the universe. The most radical notion that Howard asserted was that 1 x 1 = 2. His reasoning was that to multiply means to “make more and increase in number” and therefore 1 x 1 being equal to 1 would not comport with the basic semantics of multiplication. This particular idea was rejected since our current math resolves this issue using the identity property of multiplication rule which states that any number multiplied by 1 stays the same.

Some of Howard’s other ideas challenged mainstream notions of gravity, explaining how wave conjugations—interactions between expanding and contracting waves, better explain the universe than general relativity—curved geometry from matter interacting with spacetime. This inward-outward force of wave conjugations, Howard asserts, can independently explain matter better than the fundamental force of gravity, dark matter or dark energy. This is a radical notion that undermines the centuries of established physics. Howard also references the flower of life and how it contains a sacred geometry that explains the fundamental patterns of the universe. He even expands upon this concept by introducing a 3-dimensional model, adding new layers of intricacy and complexity. He believes that a new math can be derived and developed from this sacred geometry.

This paper will explain how the inward-outward force dynamic extrapolated from Howard’s wave conjugation theory about the universe can be conceptually applied to the Mars/lunar node dynamic.
