Totally. I mean, if it is how the universe went from higher dimensions to what we see, are the extra dimensions present everywhere? I mean, one of the really interesting pieces of physics we did that I talk about in my first book, War Passages, is finding out that there can be a higher dimension, but only locally do you think there's a gravity of a lower dimension.

So it could be like only locally do we think we live in three dimensions. It could be higher dimensions is different. It's not actually the gravity we have, but there's all sorts of phenomena that might be out there that we don't know about. All sorts of evolution things, time dependence that we don't know about. And of course, that's from the point of view of particle physics.

From the point of view of other kinds of physics, we're just beginning. So who knows?

I mean, you know, for the observable universe, it's the same, but beyond the observable universe, who knows?

I think the weird thing about being a scientist or an academic in general is you have to believe really strongly in what you do while questioning it all the time. And that's a hard balance to have. Sometimes it helps to collaborate with people. But to really believe that you could have good ideas at the same time knowing they could all be wrong, that's a tough tightrope to walk sometimes.

But to really test them out... The other thing is sometimes, you know, if you get too far buried, you look out and you think, oh, there's so much out there. And sometimes it's just good to bring it back home and just think, okay, can I have as good idea as the person next to me rather than, you know, the greatest physicist who ever lived.

But right now, like you said, I think there's lots of big issues out there and it's hard to balance that. And sometimes it's hard to forget the role of physics. But I think, you know, Wilson said it really well when he said, you know, when they were building Fermilab, it was like, this won't defend the country, but it'll make it worth defending.

You know, there's just the idea that, you know, in all this chaos, it's still important that we still make progress in these things. And sometimes, you know, when major world events are happening, it's easy to forget that. And I think those are important, too. You don't want to forget those, but to try to keep that balance because we don't want to lose what it is that makes humans special.
