And so for me, I just want to basically understand better, like, what is the information content of what I work on, right?

Like in the human sense, not in the ADS safety sense.

Yeah.

I think this is something where I'm happy to hear your side of it too a bit more because I know everybody who has any sort of military background has a different view or conception of China than probably because physics is so useless, this type of physics that I do is seen as that, that it's nice because everybody can be a part of it.

We love this notion that it doesn't matter what country you're from, you're contributing

like this corpus and to be fair, everything that we're doing, we're publishing on archive for this.

So it's not like there's IP involved and like various IP policies can affect things.

So like, I like the fact that there's some little slice of research that's so far away from replication, but like everybody can be a part of it and it's not like what country you're in.

And so when I see things like about like, like China funding an experiment, it's like, you know, someone top down could just say, we're going to fund it.

Hey, it's an experiment.

And honestly,

maybe it's a good thing if they're spending money on trying to be better at like research for just the, like the type of research that's just for the clout and not for like the military tech or something like that.

Like make them, let them build clouters, right?

But I do think that the pipeline of transferable technology is much slower than it is actually building a technology, right?

So, I mean, my attitude is I could see that there is, and this is type of thing too.

I think that, you know,

very strong top-down governance can do, and also different relaxations of IP laws.

There's a power to that that you can see Europe maybe over-regulating things compared to USAI.

So I like to think that as we are right now, and I still think it's more feasible to say that the research that I do is so much less about the practical applications and the technology for these space specs detectors.

I still think that the European Space Agency, one LISA, or whatever the name is going to be,
