I actually have no idea.
But what John did with this imager was be able to image and categorize it.
And so I'm sure you've seen the image before.
I don't know what you're talking about.
That sounds awesome, but...
No, it looks like almost a map of the world, even though it is the universe.
So it's like this oblong kind of ellipse.
And you'll see light and dark spots.
There's quieter spots of the universe.
There's hotter spots of the universe.
And I should call them colder and hotter because that's how they're measured.
But I don't think we know why or understand why it's not uniform.
This is kind of a big discovery.
But again, there's so many cool things in science that we discover, we go witness, and we actually don't know why.
That's what makes us beautiful, right?
I mean, if we did, we wouldn't know, right?
Black holes are just...
And black holes are such a cool concept.
And it went through this whole thing of like, hey, if you have infinite gravity and you can draw these math equations that show we should have black holes, and then you start to have all these theories, things like Hawking radiation and these disks.
And it wasn't until recently that we were able to image a black hole.
