But when I moved to America and I considered pursuing a scientific career, of course I wanted to work on exciting stuff, so writing exciting papers. And I learned very quickly you cannot get those published, because my father-in-law was right. Science needs to be boring. But, you know, who needs boring science? You know, what public good is in boring stuff? So we need exciting stuff.

We need science that answers interesting questions, that, you know, gives us something practical. So I know, you know, a lot of people who listen to this may say, oh, this is all bullshit and a pseudoscience. Well, it's pseudoscience unless you apply scientific technique to it, and then it becomes real science. Of course, if you

Yeah, so I think we should be applying the best we know, the scientific method, to all of these questions and getting the answer. If Peter the Great built it, all right, great. But we could be a bit more critical. about just accepting, you know, what the textbooks tell us. You know, when we... Oh, there is another example. There is this famous building in St.

Petersburg where there are four titans holding the the cornice of a building. And they look... They're magnificent sculptures and they look identical. So someone took a handheld 3D scanner and scanned them. and then superimposed the scans. And the deviations are like fraction of a millimeter. And if you think, all right, well, this was a commissioned work. So somebody chiseled it.

Yeah, those there. If somebody chiseled them, first of all, there is no need to make them identical. You want to give them personality, right? And then even if you try to make them identical, you won't be able to. but they are nearly identical because that's what that scan has revealed.

So, which means they were not chiseled, they were either cast or molded or it's something else that's made look like a stone, but it's a stone on the surface. What stone is that? I think it's granite. It looks like granite.
