That would take me 15 minutes with looking things up.

We need to do a better job.

Look, right now we're in a crisis where no one knows what's true.

Nobody knows who's full of shit.

Nobody knows what they can trust, who they can trust.

And one of the things that actually moved me to come and to reach out to Joe is that by default, I've addressed the National Academy of Sciences four times, I think, because they were lying and I caught them.

And so they wanted to know how much I knew about their lie.

It's weird to think that this little studio, in a weird way, is one of the rivals of universities when we don't know what's going on at Harvard, as you have recently seen.

We don't kick out plagiarists.

We don't check what's going on at the National Institute of Health.

And so it's very strange that this table...

is one of the last things that is trusted by many people.

And that's one of the reasons I'm here, which is people have a chance to see people in conversation about things.

And, you know, you screw up, but the conversation's recorded and we all go on and people have a chance to see what's coming out.

If we can go back to the flower of life, I can try to... Yeah, I would love that.

So you bring up renormalization theory a lot.

Right.

Renormalization theory is a way of saying we know that we're working with math that's wrong and on the other hand we have a way of working with math that's wrong even though we know it's wrong.

If you have an error of a particular kind and you can find an expression with the same error

that's different in the denominator.
