What do you want to talk about?

And I'm like, these people, we kind of hold them up as like these fictitious characters that are different than us.

They're all just people.

They're all just humans.

Yeah, some of them are fucking total oddballs.

but like what they are not as celebrities.

And I think that's important because that means they're accessible.

And as soon as these things become celebrities where we're watching documentaries on them, usually that math has been convoluted so much to help explain it to us as laymen that you're actually not getting the true story of what's happening.

And in some cases you'll have the original authors of these papers or these theories come out and say like, it's actually not what I was saying at all.

Like, this doesn't make any sense.

It's not what I meant at all by this.

I mean, a good one, again, the Psyche asteroid saying it's worth $100 quadrillion.

Talk to Lindy about it.

She's the PI for the NASA Psyche mission.

She's like, this is not what I meant.

I didn't mean like, oh, yeah, I was trying to equate for how much is on this, how much material is here in forms somebody else could understand.

But that's been taken differently.

And that's kind of how this works.

Any kind of fiber, whether it's, look, there's a whole bunch of ways, I guess, to slow down light.

Whether you're talking about fiber optics, it's going to go slower, and this is because the photons are hitting other atoms and being deflected.
