Yeah. But, you know, we need to take it with a grain of salt because it's the best explanation that for it to deplete all of its uranium, it should have been operating as a natural reactor, you know, for billions of years. Another explanation could have been, it's been like a conventional power plant, like a few thousand years ago that just, you know, burned all of its fuel.

Or maybe it's a fuel dump, you know, who knows? So they just... picked a model that would explain it, that went along with, you know, understanding of geology.

But, you know, you can pick another model, and I don't pretend to be an expert on nuclear reactors of that type.

Yeah, based on what I know and what it goes into building. I mean, look at Iran. They've been, you know, trying to produce a weapon for how long?

And they couldn't, you know, despite... their best efforts, it's difficult. And, you know, it took all of America's intellectual capacity organizing on their Oppenheimer and a bunch of national labs to do all of it. And hundreds of PhDs, thousands of people, and

it's a difficult process to maintain it's very for the chain reaction inside the reactor it's very easy either to turn into explosion and destroy the reactor or not go at all so it will either fizzle out or blow just keeping it going that's where the real trick is and then having it going like for thousands or hundreds of thousands of millions of years is just beyond credibility it's just um
