Hello, it's Meredith.
There are some wicked, exciting, unexplainable projects in the works.
We are really looking forward to sharing them with you all.
And so soon, we're almost there.
But in the meantime, we are revisiting some of our favorite unexplainable episodes of all time.
And today, I want to share an episode from Noam from 2024 that made me think about the universe in a totally new way.
When scientists look out into the stars, there's an edge, a horizon that they just can't see beyond.
What if that edge is the boundary of an enormous black hole?
What if our universe is inside of an enormous black hole?
Here's Noah.
I wouldn't say so.
I was thinking about this, and I think there are various sources that say this, that you can have, you obviously have permanent allegiance based on being born in whatever country you're from.
That's what everybody recognizes.
But you also have local allegiance when you are on the soil of this other sovereign.
And I was thinking, you know, I, a US citizen, am visiting Japan,
And what it means is that if I steal someone's wallet in Japan, the Japanese authorities can arrest me and prosecute me.
It's allegiance, meaning can they control you as a matter of law?
I can also rely on them if my wallet is stolen to, under Japanese law, go and prosecute
the person who has stolen it.
So there's this relationship based on, even though I'm a temporary traveler, I'm just on vacation in Japan, I'm still locally owing allegiance in that.
