And could they be from outer space? Sure. They can be from inner space or even the space in between. And I say that because the universe is far more complex than we give it credit for. Every time there was a time we had Newtonian physics, we thought there was a solution.

Then all of a sudden Einstein comes along and we realize that weight, space and time are actually connected and then everything's relative. And all of a sudden now you have quantum mechanics, which is this spooky action at a distance, right? Where the whole universe is behaving in a way that it shouldn't. And yet that looks like the real way the universe works, right?

I often tell people we are, as humans, we have only five fundamental senses that we can base our reality upon. And if you can't touch it, taste it, hear it, smell it, et cetera, we can't interact with it. And so where I live in Wyoming, we have these beautiful night skies, kind of like you have here in your studio here, 300 days of unoccluded night skies.

And as beautiful as those night skies are, if you were to look at that same portion of the night sky through a radio telescope, you would see a whole different reality around you. You'd see nebula and you'd see things in different spectra that we can't pick up. You pick an ultraviolet, an infrared, so you would see a whole different reality. Just like our cell phones, right?

If you could see in cell phone vision and see in Wi-Fi and 5G and GPS, you would interact with your environment completely different because you would see reality. So we can only... interact with a very small sliver of the reality that we can perceive because we're humans. But most of reality is actually beyond that. And then, of course, you have scalability issues. The universe is immensely huge.

And what scientists are now saying, if you look in any direction, you can see roughly within the visible, let me emphasize, visible horizon of our universe is about 13.9 billion light years, plus or minus. So that means in any direction I can see 13.9 billion light years with the right equipment. What's a light year? Well, it's as fast as light can travel in a year.

Well, light travels pretty fast. In fact, it travels at 186,000 miles per second. So seven and a half times around our planet in one second. So imagine how far you can go in a year. Now, multiply that by 13.9 billion. And that, by scientists' estimation, so if the universe end-to-end of our visible, we're stuck in the middle, is roughly 27 billion light years.

Scientists are now saying that's only possibly only 10% of the known universe because the universe is so big and so vast and so far, light will never have time to reach Earth. So that's at a minimum 100 billion light years, right? And so we are this little speck in the middle.
