Einstein's general theory of relativity.

in very general terms talks about space and time and how that interacts with us quantum mechanics uh this quantum world stuff it deals most with like matter and energy on the tiniest scales and how we interact with that okay when they come together space and time matter and energy they seem to

In other words, the math of quantum physics doesn't work really well when we're talking about space and time.

And the mathematics of general relativity don't seem to work very well when we're trying to talk about little subatomic particles.

Once you can combine them, right, then we're in good shape.

Now, people are working on this.

Light does seem to be a place where you both...

somehow, for example, have a maximum speed of light, right?

Speed of light is the maximum speed at which any object can move through space and time.

Meanwhile, matter and energy, right?

Light is both a particle in a wave and its energy, which can be converted into matter, things like that.

So light does seem to be some sort of linchpin in this sort of shotgun wedding that you was talking about.

But it might not be shotgun.

I'll venture this.

Neil, you and I both know a very, very, very good guy named Jacob Berendis.

Jacob is a preceptor at Harvard University.

And he has recently.

It's that same Jacob Baroness, yes.

Wow.

But yes, that Jacob, who is now a preceptor at Harvard, he has written and published some articles just recently.
