Shit is testable.

Shit is testable.

I'll bring it to the next show. Oh, you remember the shit list from the 90s? No. Oh, it was like a joke, and it lived on the internet, the early internet, and it was like all these different types of shit. One of them was ghost shit. You felt it came out, you wiped, there's nothing on the toilet paper, there's nothing in the toilet, but you know what happened. Oh, wow, okay, okay.

So some people are doing that. They're saying maybe the universe's expansion rate hasn't just been what we think it is, as simple as we think it is.

Or each of those have to be adjusted. Well, there's an assumption within there as well that comes from the cosmological principle that the universe is isotropic and homogeneous. And now people are looking. If I look in that direction, I look in that direction, I look in that direction, is the expansion rate the same versus distance in every particular direction?

So, you know, that's why we have big surveys coming on like the Vera Rubin Telescope LSST because we typically have pencil beam surveys for the most part or surveys that don't go too deep.

Speaking of, another telescope that's oncoming is the Nancy Grace Roman Telescope.

It's going to be a survey telescope.

Yeah. So Nancy Grace Roman, going back to the ASP, she valued the ASP so much that when she passed away recently, she left the organization a few million dollars. Whoa. Yeah, yeah.

Absorption spectrum. Yeah. Yeah. So it happens in two ways. So what's absorbing what? So what happens is that when you look at a transit of an exoplanet, so that means that it'll go in front of its star, right? And so at that time, the light from the star will pass through the atmosphere of the planet.

So I'm getting light in my telescope. So as that planet is going in front of a star, if it has an atmosphere, the light from the star passes through the planet's atmosphere and that light interacts with that atmosphere around the edges. That light interacts. And so certain wavelengths of light aren't going to make it out the other side. They're going to be absorbed.
