And the universe is mostly transparent to gravitational waves from very, very, very early on, fractions and fractions of a second.

And people are looking for those.

People are looking for those neutrinos, and they'll find them.

And so I think, you know, in the next years or decades, we'll learn a lot more about the very, very early universe and

And then people will have a better idea of how to go even beyond that to, you know, before the Planck density.

And somebody out there is going to figure that out.

And we're going to learn how to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity and how the universe actually works.

You're confident that we'll get there?

I think we're going to get there.

I mean, I don't know for sure.

I like to be optimistic.

I can't guarantee it.

There could be a limit to human cognition.

Like maybe we're not smart enough yet.

But, you know, maybe the aliens will show up and they'll tell us or maybe we'll stumble into it before they get here.

I kind of hope that we figured it out.

I would love to be there for it.

But, you know, the rate of progress of scientific discovery and understanding is astounding.

It's just accelerating.

So I wouldn't bet against humanity.
