Right.
The particle bites you in the ass.
It's like, okay, I guess you exist.
Don't call us.
We'll call you.
All right, so that's good.
I like that.
But I want to emphasize a point you made before we go to the next question.
What you're saying is, in our life experience, if something lasts three minutes or five seconds or one second, that's not very much time, and who cares about the difference?
But in the early universe, there are things that lasted a trillionth of a second and then a quadrillionth of a second.
And we say, oh, that's just less than a second.
But each of those are huge differences
in the energetics of the early universe.
Is that a fair way to think about it?
Wow.
So anything that was born in the first trillionth of a trillionth of a second and dies a trillionth of a second later.
Lived for a trillion of its own lifetimes.
Right.
So dense to be a black hole.
Don't do that.
