The nose, it's taking airborne chemicals, turning that into neural signals. The tongue is taking liquid-borne chemicals, turning that into... And then the... pièce de résistance is the skin. The skin is an amazing transducer which does at least three different kinds of things. It can transduce temperature, turn that into neural signals, pressure, and texture. head to toe, encased in transducers.

So we've been looking into transducers in the animal kingdom. We've been looking at that for a couple of years now, and it's amazing the kinds of transducers nature has created. So nature is a super-duper amazing expert on creating transducers.

My cat, okay, we recently have been investigating this because it turns out my cat's whiskers, we don't have anything like that in us, but cat's whiskers, they actually can detect Direction. The direction the wind is blowing. The direction a potential predator or insect is coming. Because when they tilt, that actually gives the cat different information if they tilt one way versus the other way.

There are transducers in some animals that can detect magnetic fields. Like how birds migrate. Exactly. So there's so many different kinds of transducers. Now, What if at some point evolution, but I don't see how this could not happen. What if at some point evolution, possibly using a chemical, which I know you have some interest in, called DMT.

And possibly using a gland called the pineal gland, maybe. What if at some point a baby was born somewhere in Central Africa, maybe 20,000 years ago? We're still trying to pin that down. But what if a baby was born with a special kind of transducer that connected up all the experience it's having with another domain, another universe?

Now, at first that might strike you as a little batty, but it turns out it's not batty at all because there's not a physicist in the world, an astrophysicist, who doesn't believe in some variation on the multiverse idea. In other words, any physicist will tell you that the kind of space that we experience is not space. the nature of the universe.

It is such a pathetically limited view of the way the universe is constructed. It's just outrageous. It's so pathetic. We're just picking up so little information. But again, think about that flexibility that evolution has over a period of billions of years.
