Yeah. Well, I think all of it, if you stop and think about it, I always bring this up, but it's a good point. Like in the beginning there was light. Well, isn't that the Big Bang? I mean we believe in that. Like all โ Scientists that are studying the origins of the universe believe in the Big Bang.

There's new people like, well, not new, like Sir Roger Penrose, who has been on the show before, who now believes that the Big Bang was the end of another universe and that it's probably this endless cycle. And it's not as simple as there was nothing and then there was something, that there's always this expansion and contraction and then these cosmic events take place and they birth new universes.

That's all completely speculative, right? What they do know is what they can see, right? So what they can see is some sort of evidence, some sort of a background evidence of this event that took place. They're still arguing about how much time ago it took because of the James Webb telescope. They've seen some structures and some galaxies that โ

are so far away, they shouldn't have been able to form in the amount of time that it took from the current understanding of the Big Bang. And some people want to push the Big Bang back 22 billion years now instead of 13 billion years. But it could be that that's just as far, because that's 22 billion years it takes for light to get there. to reach us.

But if it's 100 billion years, that shit's never going to get there. We're never going to see it. So if it goes back further and further than that, it's just not available to us. We don't have the ability to see it yet, but we might.

Now with the James Webb, they can see far further back and with new telescopes they invent and new methods of detection, they might be able to realize there's no end to this thing and there was no beginning and it just keeps happening.

And no, it's not infinity. It's silly. But it's also even if there wasn't. The universe is so crazy, just what we know. Even if we said, oh, it's only 13.7 billion years old. You don't even know what that means. You know how fucking big that is? And by the way, we're not at the end of it. It's not like it blew up and we're this far away and we look back, that's what we see.
