And they're still out there.
And it's just kind of astonishing.
But...
It is getting better.
And I really think that as a new generation comes into physics, we will see more and more acceptance of these questions as legitimate areas of scientific inquiry.

Right?
Like, these are the biggest questions.
Oh, no, no.
Well, you totally do.
That's the best part about your job.
