StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Okay, well, our next question comes from Leo B. Hello, Doug.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

There's an accent on the E, so I feel like it's Leo.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

I feel like the E is meant to really be observed.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

So this is a question for all of you.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Once upon a time, I was a child in junior high school back in the mid 80s.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

When talking about the periodic table, teachers in school used to say that no element slash metals would ever be discovered, that it was without any doubt at all impossible.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

possible yet here we are today with a bunch of new elements on the table in another category of science and tech humans used to say that we would never fly slash travel in the air now we have all kinds of flying transportation available planes jets even hot air balloons if you could choose a thing that science says can't be done yet without a doubt which would which would you most want to see become possible in your lifetime uh thanks and this is leo from the canadian atlantic provinces

StarTalk Radio

He didn't want to get specific about which province.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Just the big region.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

I mean, it's mostly a guy thing, yeah.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

I mean, I can't say that me and my gal pals have ever done that, whipping each other with towels.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Yeah, no, it just sounds rather unpleasant.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Right, like what if the laws of physics are wrong?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Oh my God, are you going to like explode right now?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Are you sweating?

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Oh no, I broke Neil deGrasse Tyson.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Yeah.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

Right, so it still fundamentally works.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

That's a whole other thing than in the 19... But we do have the scientific capacity to do it, the technological capacity to do it.

StarTalk Radio
Cosmic Queries – LIGO, Light, & Lycanthropy

And, okay.
