A protozoa can throw a dart. It's almost anti-correlated with what reality is. So no, there's certainly no validity to that. And I had a provocative tweet, whatever, post recently. And it was about – there's actually – we believe there are 12 zodiac signs. And that dates back to the Persians and the Babylonians and how they divided up them.

And it almost divides – they were fascinated with the number 60. So that was the base of their number system. Our number system is 10 because we have 10 figures. For some reason, they love base 60. I don't know why. And so they love things that divide it evenly into it. 10 does. But anyway, hashtag fail for the Babylonians. But they divided it up into 12 zones. 12 zodiac signs.

So we still use those. There's a problem though. The zodiac that you're, do you know what this is? Do you know what determines your zodiac sign?

Okay. So it's determined by the position of the sun. What constellation was the sun in on the day you were born? September 26th. So that means that the sun was in the constellation Virgo. Oh, no. You were a Libra? Libra. Libra.

So you do know what you are, but you don't know why you are. So Libra means it's a constellation. There's 88 constellations. that are accepted by astronomers. And one of them is Libra. And the path that the sun and the moon and all the planets travel in is called the zodiac.

It's confined to a plane because the same proto-solar system disk from which we formed out of, all the planets came out of a nebular cloud, a cloud of gas, dust, rocks, and so forth that came from a pre-existing star that exploded, creating what's called a supernova. The supernova provided the materials to make not only the Earth, but the entire solar system, including the sun.

That happened about 5 billion years ago. And 4 billion years ago, the Earth formed out of that cloud. The spin of that disk, all things have a spin associated with them, like a figure skater. She's spinning around on her axis or whatever. She can have her arms out. Brings them in, she spins faster. That's called conservation of angular momentum. Spin is a type of angular momentum.

The whole disc is spinning in a plane. It's like this desk, this table that we're sitting at. If you're listening, you imagine a flat table. It's spinning. A circular disc is spinning with a certain direction. All the objects are moving in that same direction due to conservation of this term called angular momentum. The sun apparently moves in that position.
