Another, like, three or four germanium detector, you know, 300-pound lead shield, that nuclear reactor I mentioned, high-voltage power supplies, vacuum system, turbo-molecular pump... all sorts of vacuum gauges, vacuum feedings, gas analyzers, particle size analyzers, gamma detectors, neutron detectors. And you go to my other rooms,

And on every surface, there is something in various stages of assembly, disassembly, repair or disrepair, depending on what I do. And sometimes I get carried away. If there is something cheap, I buy it. And then I realize, oh, shit, I need to repair it.

And then I start repairing it and sometimes it doesn't go the way I want, but because I already paid money for it, I'm too cheap to throw it away. So Veronica told me, quit doing that stuff and focus more on research. And that's what I'm trying. to switch towards because I was really carried away with all of the repair and refurbishing work that I'm doing.

But it's like your vases are your babies. This is a typical equipment that I make and repair are my babies too. Once I bought it, I feel like, well, I need to restore it. And even though it was a tangent, now it's like a main road. And I do agree with her that I need to put some of that aside and make some more time for what I should really be doing.

I would say the key finding was that there was nothing, I would say, remarkable about those shards in the sense that when I... proposed for Ben to bring them over, I was expecting to find bits and pieces of metal tools that were used to carve those.

And earlier I mentioned that scientists shouldn't have like a pet idea, but the truth is, you know, whenever we start a scientific investigation, there is always a hypothesis. So you start with a hypothesis, but you shouldn't be like too attached to it. So my hypothesis was that those, or, you know, these metal stone vases were machined using metal tools.

And because that's how we think of machining. You have a cutter or an end mill, and those are metal tools. So whenever you machine, Tools ablate, and they lose bits and pieces of the metal that gets wedged into the stone, and under the electron microscope you should be able to see that. And that's what I was expecting to see. And when we looked, the samples were remarkably clean.
