This is the birthplace of the atomic bomb.

Um, I don't know if you saw Oppenheimer, but, uh, half of that movie set in Los Alamos where I'm from.

So we got a Los Alamos hat, uh, Los Alamos national laboratory hat.

dude that's uh very cool we have some will salmos coins so man about the there's one about the atom bomb uh one about the the norris brabber who's the lab director um and then uh and then i'll sell this coin about the you know the father of the atomic bomb you know we have a uh

a copy of all the manual that they gave to the scientists that got declassified from the actual Manhattan Project.

Wow.

This one's just a fun one.

It's a rocket kit for you and your kids.

Yeah, it's been kind of surreal.

I mean, everybody calls AI the next Manhattan Project.

And so it's been funny because that's where I grew up.

It's like, I don't know, it feels weird.

So...

Yeah, so again, both my parents are physicists and my dad's dad was a physicist as well.

So I grew up in this like...

pure physics family um so science technology physics math these were uh these were the things i was like i was like i was really excited about as a kid um and uh i remember like around the dinner table we would talk about black holes and wormholes and you know alien life and uh supernova and you know far away galaxies and all that stuff that stuff was all very captivating to me

I was thinking about kind of, like, basically, like, you know, understanding the universe, for lack of a better term.

And then I really liked math.

And I realized kind of, you know, in about fourth – in fourth grade –

I entered my very first math competition, which is a thing.
