But it's actually, if you, I saw a very cool animation of Earth and life on Earth.
And basically nothing happens for a long time.
And then the last like two seconds, like basically cities and everything.
And the lower orbit just gets cluttered.
And just the whole thing happens in the last two seconds.
And you're like, this is exploding.
This is a statement explosion.
It's a firecracker.
We're living in a firecracker.
We hope it's not a destructive firecracker.
It's kind of like a constructive firecracker.
All right, so given that, hilarious discussion.
It is really interesting to think about what the puzzle of the universe is.
Did the creator of the universe give us a message?
Like, for example, in the book Contact, Carl Sagan, there's a message for any civilization in digits,
in the expansion of Pi in base 11 eventually, which is kind of an interesting thought.
Maybe we're supposed to be giving a message to our creator.
Maybe we're supposed to somehow create some kind of a quantum mechanical system that alerts them to our intelligent presence here.
Because if you think about it from their perspective, it's just say like quantum field theory, massive like cellular automaton like thing.
And like, how do you even notice that we exist?
