It's one of those great mysteries that's – I think it's less controversial, Stonehenge, than the pyramids. The pyramids seem to be like almost – they lead people into thinking about aliens and all sorts of –

Certainly. I mean you'd have to convince me that people didn't build them. But exactly how they built it is a great question. I mean – so for example, I mentioned this when I was on Joe Rogan's show. I said if you measure – The bases of the pyramids. It turns out that they're a ratio of a qubit, which is actually qubits, not quantum bits like you and your dad talked about.

But qubits is the length of the pharaoh's forearm. It's basically a foot and a half roughly. So back then, if you were like the president – you were also the metric standard for all of civilization. Wild.

What's the standard? Wild.

Yeah, well, it was just for length or like a foot. We talk about a foot. It was a pharaoh's foot. Yeah, that's where we get those from, right? So there was only kind of one rough standard for calibration, which is incredibly important for removing systematic effects in science in general. So you had a calibration standard. Now we have like a bar of platinum.

We've defined the second in terms of oscillations of a certain atom. called cesium and how many times it oscillates per second.

So now we want to define those in terms of physical quantities, not in terms of people. And so doing that has been a great advance forward in science. And we've only recently gotten rid of what are called artifacts. So it used to be there was a rod that was one meter long. And the meter was originally defined as 69,000. I forget, of the distance from the North Pole to Paris.

But that obviously depends on assuming the Earth is a perfect sphere, which it's not, right?
