You try to understand the dust cloud, and sometimes you forget that they're there.

And Charles, wasn't there a huge discovery made about the Big Bang?

And because, but because they didn't correct for the, for the reddening in our own galaxy of the cosmic microwave background, but there was some, there was some paper that had to be retracted because they, not retracted, you don't retract it, not because it was fraudulent.

It was just, they had to say, we messed up.

Yes, that's right.

Yeah.

Oh my God.

That's insane.

So the universe is not just sitting there waiting to be discovered.

We have to figure this stuff out.

That just sounds awful.

Stop.

There's another feature of that.

There are, I would call them, ambulance-chasing theorists who saw these results...

saw these results and said, I can explain that with a new model of the Big Bang.

And that there were people who published papers on these false results.

Oh.

So, yeah.

So that's an important reality check on the moving frontier of any science.

But that's what we do in science.
