Mostly me actually. I did get some help with the numbers. This was fascinating to me while Claude was doing math:

1 million seconds is about 12 days
1 billion seconds is about 32 years.
1 Trillion seconds is almost 32,000 years, so far back it’s pre-agriculture. No cities, no pyramids, nothing.

The difference in a billion and a trillion is similar to the difference in the Geico caveman and an actual caveman.

just mindblowing

Pretty cool. He’s kind of at the point there’s not a whole lot for him to do right now. But they really need to keep him around in case something comes up during the assembly of the telescope.
Is he on site? I’d love to see pics of how that’s coming along. Also, since it will have to look through our atmosphere how will they account for all the elements we have to look through to see other atmospheres?

Dolts? When you find something else alive, let me know. Until then, you’re the idiot.

I appreciate the fact you made a 1,500 on the SAT and got into pharmacy school early…until weed got in the way. For now, keep up the patronizing and philosophical cynicism that convinces you of such theories.

Dave Mathews is still touring. Enjoy.
And Dave Mathews sucks.
