It will be a big sample.

A few million in a year, yes.

Yeah, exactly.

Most of them, I would say 99%, more than 99% are definitely human-made.

Wow.

Well, it really depends if it's out there.

So if it's not out there, like when you go on dates and you hope to find a password,

The partner may not be out there.

You might be out of luck.

And then it doesn't matter how much work you do, you won't find a partner.

And the other thing to keep in mind is that it doesn't really matter what idea is popular on social media, what the mainstream of the scientific community thinks is likely, because the question of whether we have a neighbor or not is already settled.

Either we have a neighbor nearby or not.

and then it's up to us to to check you know and then if we decide that we know the answer in advance if we decide that the probability for that is very small that we have a neighbor

we can maintain our ignorance forever.

There is no guarantee that we will see the light.

And it's really up to us to search.

Now, I'm saying that the mainstream of science is investing in searching for things like microbes, investing in searching for most of the matter in the universe.

We don't know what it is.

It's 84% of the matter in the universe is of a substance that we've never...

found.
