I'm not saying it's high.

Don't take me out on it.

But UCSD, distinguished professor, says Loch Ness Monster is – it's all over the New York Times.

Now it is.

Now it's in the New York Post.

Okay, thank you.

We're having the California Post here soon too.

So don't take it too seriously.

But the fact that there were once dinosaurs and there are still crocodiles, like you could say that that gives some credence.

It's not like 0.00% probability.

It's very low, but it's not zero.

So the fact that there are neutrinos gives a lot of credibility though, on the other hand, that there could be an invisible massive form of matter that's invisible to telescopes that

but otherwise is non-invisible to gravitational effects.

So then you would say, well, what are some other plausible explanations?

So there's something called Occam's razor, which states a very simple fact that Sherlock Holmes would, you know, the simplest explanation is typically the correct one.

Now in astrophysics and cosmology and quantum physics, there's no such thing as a simple explanation.

Everything is hard and it's fun and it's challenging and it's a puzzle and a mystery.

And that's why I love it.

But

It still is the case that there could be another explanation other than, say, neutrinos or something like supermassive neutrinos, self-interacting dark matter.
