But I can say I actually do know what we need to be working on right now. And so in that context, I'm certainly doing the things that I think might help make meaningful progress towards that type of operative goal at some point in time. But I just don't know how long it might take. And so let me kind of give an experience that I had.

So I taught at International Space University over in Strasbourg in France. And they have a cathedral there in Strasbourg, absolutely stunning. But the thing that's even more interesting about this structure, it's like 500 feet tall. They started building it in 1100 A.D. And they didn't finish the cathedral until 1700 A.D. So the people that built the basement were...

had no hope of seeing the finished product. All they could do was imagine in their mind's eye what it might look like. But they knew what they needed to do to kind of make meaningful progress. And so they did their work and then they hand the baton off to the next generation. Maybe they're putting the floor in. And then another generation does the buttresses and so forth.

So from that standpoint, I think sometimes it's important to, you know, we talk about teamwork, right? Teamwork is a great thing. But teamwork, we typically think of shoulder to shoulder, right? But I think there's also value in teamwork across generations. if you will, right?

In a day and an age where you get impatient if you text somebody and they don't text you back in like 30 seconds, I think we've lost an appreciation for the value of what that means, right? In terms of working over stuff longer than what your horizon might be. I'd love to see the idea of a space warp. you know, before I go to the next chapter. But I don't know that that will happen for sure.

But I do know specifically what I need to be doing. And so from that standpoint, that's how I grapple with that particular question. Because it's a wonderful question. And I would love to be able to tell you a very concise answer that would fit with what I would hope it would be. But I don't know for certain. But I do know what I need to be doing next.

And that gets into โ maybe we can unpack that in just a little bit. That gets into the idea of how the idea of a space warp works and how that traces back to those two circles on the Venn diagram, quantum mechanics and general relativity. Yeah, let's talk about that. Yeah, so maybe what we can do โ Jamie, I sent you โ there's a slide that's got like a cartoon space warp.
