um, any black hole orbiting anything else, that's a gravitational wave.

So we've discovered the universe is kind of noisy in gravitational waves.

There's a lot of shouting going on and we got to pick out exactly the voice that's telling us about the very, very early universe.

And that's a challenge.

And, you know, it's, it's a needle in a haystack, but you know, I'm counting on humanity.

I wish I was as optimistic, but that's fine.

That's fine.

Um, I want to get back to gravity in a second.

You know, I would, every physicist's been more, but, uh,

What's it like at CERN?

I mean, you go in, you got your thermos, you punch your clock.

I mean, like we all know what it is, but what's it like to just to be there and spend a day there?

It is so exciting.

It is the center of the world for particle physics.

It's like the nerd capital of the world.

Everybody is there and they're buzzing with excitement.

You know, when the machine is running, you never know

what day is going to be the day you make a discovery, right?

Every day could be like, look what we saw in the data.

Look what the universe delivered.
