I don't know if physics will ever allow us to travel faster than light.

And I have seen no convincing evidence that we can.

And so because of that, I actually come up with this really sad scenario, which is,

Yeah, I think there are other civilizations out there.

And I think we'll never have confirmed proof that they ever exist because we either cannot communicate with them or cannot travel to them in any way, shape, or form.

And so I hope we're able to break that down.

I hope I'm incorrect.

I hope somebody listening is like, oh, this guy's an idiot and here's the solution to that and we can go travel faster than light because we all see it in sci-fi movies and it's what makes every sci-fi movie work.

Yet it's one of the few things we don't have a theory on.

And so...

That, I think, is the cold hard reality of the universe.

I do think there is life in our own solar system.

I don't think there's intelligent life in our solar system.

I'm pretty convinced that we're going to find microbes or signs of life on some of these moons, especially around Jupiter, and some of these other places in the universe.

There's got to be.

It just doesn't make sense for there not to be.

We've already seen the signs of it.

But again, the limitation, Sean, is that we send these really expensive missions out.

And if you're going to go be a scientist, you're probably not going to write like, please find my instrument that will detect aliens.

You're going to say like, oh, I want to detect the building blocks of the universe on this planet.
