Whoa.
You could definitely control pretty much anything.
There was this guy...
who I had give a talk at the Aspen Institute, who there's two, there's Donahoe and this guy at Duke, who implant electrodes in the brain of people who are paralyzed, quadriplegics, and they control a robot arm with their brain.
And they train them to play video games and they train the guy to walk.
with an exoskeleton, with a neural implant.
This is the future.
So absolutely, absolutely, this can be done today.
Well, I will say the shadow of time is first and foremost entertainment.
Okay.
Yeah.
We have to be very clear.
Yeah.
It's to get an emotional journey where there's suspense, there's mystery, there's, oh no, that can't happen.
And there's romance and there's discovery and curiosity.
So really it's meant to create emotions in the readers.
And insight and maybe some self-discovery.
Its intent is not science.
So I don't think that you can say that what we say in this scenario here is what we think is the most likely.
We think it's the most entertaining of the not impossible.
