Terrence Howard made some pretty bizarre claims during a recent appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast.
On Saturday’s episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, the Empire actor, 55, asserted that he could “kill” gravity, debunk the Pythagorean Theorem, “rebuild Saturn without gravity,” and that he doesn’t believe in the number zero.
“We’re about to kill gravity. We’re about to kill their God, gravity, and they don’t want that,” Howard told Rogan, per the Daily Beast, before showing a video demonstration of a method involving “linchpins” to remove gravity from Saturn, claiming this force shapes the planet’s rings and hexagon without dark matter or energy.
Rogan, 56, unsurprisingly engaged with Howard’s theories throughout the three-hour episode, which opened with the actor saying he could remember being born and circumcised. He also mentioned a bizarre theory about how straight lines aren't real.
The Daily Beast also noted that Howard once said during a 2015 Rolling Stone interview that he studied chemical engineering at Pratt University but dropped out after arguing with a professor over what one multiplied by one equals. He revisited the argument again two years later on Twitter sharing “proof” that 1x1=2.
He made another claim to Jimmy Kimmel in 2013 that he held a doctorate in applied material and chemical engineering from South Carolina State University, according to an archived report from CNN. It was eventually revealed that he never attended the university and was only given an honorary degree, a Doctor of Humane Letters, after giving a speech during a Commencement address at the university in 2012.
Howard infamously brought his gravity lecture to the red carpet at the Emmys in 2019, leaving the hosts completely perplexed.
