I wanted to finish up by asking you about the man who ate plankton and lived on it for 65 days.
Because it's mad to think, you know, giant whales just eat plankton and can survive and feed their enormous bodies.
So can you tell me a little bit about this guy?
Yeah, it's a crazy story because this guy was a doctor who was obsessed about shipwrecked and the people dying in the lifeboats.
And he noticed something interesting is that people in lifeboats, they die.
They they theoretically they could only die from cold after a couple of hours from thirst after three days or from hunger.
after three weeks.
But actually, most of the people, and there was at this time, it was in the 50s, we had 50,000 people dying in live boats after the shipwrecks.
So he realized that all of them almost, they die after one or two days.
And after a lot of research, he realized that they were dying out of despair and fear, mostly.
Despair and fear.
Yeah, because they thought that there was no solution and so forth.
