So we know general relativity isn't the last word.

We know Einstein isn't the final sage.

And for some reason, because his theory hasn't budged for over 100 years, basically 110, we're demotivated.

We just have decided that we live in space-time, which is totally untrue.

We don't live in space-time.

Space-time is a model of where we live.

And in that model, there's no out.

We can prove that you can't go faster than the speed of light.

And as a result, we're trapped here.

But this is like the greatest puzzle ever.

It tells you that everything that we're good at, science, physics, introspection, mathematics, can be brought to bear on the question of our survival.

And if we can crack this one problem, we can split up.

You can have a planet.

You can have a planet.

It's the Oprah principle of the cosmos.

And then we don't all have to have the same fate if one planet goes stupid.

And most of them will go stupid.

Your allocation is zero.

And by the way, let's stop talking about normal people.

Normal people just don't matter.
