Thanks to Einstein, we figured out the curvature of space-time, which they didn't know about.

They knew quite a lot about astronomy, though.

They stared at the stars.

I mean, we should probably say that even in that time, there was probably slang, right?

It just wouldn't end up written.

But they wouldn't end up in writing.

We have to remember that Cambridge and Oxford speak in a certain way that's proper and formal and very smart.

But most of the people in bars, sailors have a different way of speaking.

So they would probably say, like I went...

We should say the very important aspect of vocabulary, why it's important to know a lot of words and to speak clearly, because those words also define the quality of your thoughts.

Sure.

At the end of the day.

I think the right way to think about it is the way the British Museum thinks about it.

So you're commenting on the ephemeral, on the thing that is in the moment right now is happening.

The reality is only a few select things will last 100, 200 years from now about this moment in time.

And so we have to sort of think about

with the big picture perspective and the slowness of time.

Yes, in the moment there is these catastrophes, there's changing ways of speaking, the technology tearing apart the fabric of society, but when you zoom out, you will think about the grand ideas of Einstein.

the battle of ideologies with communism and Nazism of the 20th centuries, the bad, the triumphant, the rockets.

These humans started launching rockets going to the moon, maybe to Mars, those things.
