There's a direct connection. Sorry to interrupt, but there's a connection between that and the Nobel Prize. So there was something called the Longitude Prize in the 1700s to develop a clock that could be used in naval situations on boats. You couldn't use a grandfather clock as the pendulum. The boats rock. Acceleration. So they had to find something. And this guy, Thompson or somebody. Harrison.

Harrison, yeah. So he invented this mechanical clock, which is a predecessor of our modern wind-up clocks. Obviously, we use cesium and atomic clocks. But that prize for 10,000 pounds or whatever it was, was an early predecessor of the Nobel Prize.

Okay, so we live in an atmosphere, a planet with an atmosphere, thank God. We wouldn't be here having this conversation, right? And that atmosphere is a dirty window. It's like literally looking through the windshield of your car and it's cloudy and dusty and contaminated. We live in its presence.

And the best astronomical telescopes are the ones that are launched above the atmosphere, out of the atmosphere. Hubble Space Telescope, Kepler, and now the James Webb Telescope. Again, those are multibillion-dollar telescopes.
