I mean, you know, the multiverse model is an interesting one because there are, you know, quantum scientists who look at it and figure, it's like, oh, it's like, oh, yeah.

Like, quantum science perhaps tells us that there are almost an infinite, you know, variety of other universes, but the way that it works probably is, it's almost like a form of natural selection.

It's like, well, the universes that didn't have the correct or interesting relationships between these forces, nothing happens in them.

So almost by definition, the fact that we're having this conversation means that we're in one of the interesting ones by default.

I would see it in a slightly different way.

It's actually because we have creatures that live with us on the Earth that have cognition, that understand and move through their environment.

But they actually see things in a way, or they sense things in a way which is so fundamentally different, it's really hard.

The problem is the translation, not necessarily intelligence.

So it's the perception of the world.

So I have a dog.

And when I go and I see my dog, like, smelling things, there's a realization that I have that he sees or senses the world in a way that I can never... Like, I can't understand it because I can't translate my way to this.

We get little glimpses of this as humans, though, by the way, because there are some parts of it, for example, optical information, which comes from light...

is that now, because we've developed the technology, we can actually see things.

I get this as one of my areas of research is spectroscopy, so this means the study of light.

And I get this, quote-unquote, see things or representations of them from the far infrared all the way to hard, hard x-rays, which is several orders of magnitude of the light intensity.

But our own human eyes see a teeny, teeny little sliver of this.

So that even like bees, for example, see a different place than we do.

So I don't – I think if you think of – there's already other intelligences like around us in a way, in a limited way because of the way they can communicate.

But it's like those are already baffling in many ways, yeah.

Yeah.
