And then there was lots of research, like out of nowhere, all this crazy progress started getting made in the realm of gravity in like the 50s.

And there was another gentleman,

by the name of Bryce DeWitt.

Yeah.

I've, I've been kind of, I've nerded out on this topic quite a bit in the past.

And then there was some sort of a conference done at, um, North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

Yes.

On gravity.

And, um, it seems like there was so much interest in that, like there was progress being made and then all of a sudden it went, it disappeared.

Right.

yeah because there's this idea that um they could have potentially like been trying i heard that lewis like had found anti-gravity or something like this i'm not familiar with that so i'm afraid i can't you can't make any enlightening statements right it's just yeah that's just kind of like what drew me into it right it seems like the most of the money

with that goes into science and research and development and this kind of stuff is sort of there's there's no limiter on the amount of money that can be spent when it's in the context of national security or war and this kind of stuff you know you're right you're exactly right and uh danny this is something that one should think of as a natural progression of what happened with the second world war

Right.

Yeah.

And I think it was the Manhattan Project, which is the name has changed so many times now.

That is the Department of Energy now.

It's the same thing as Manhattan Project.

It's crazy to me that we went from the American Civil War, which I think was like the 1860s.

That's correct, 1860 to 1865.

To shooting muskets, to less than 100 years later,
