Drop Little Droplets in My Head | StarTalk

·Nov 11, 2024

You and I, uh, attended a party at my house, and kids, like, surr, they want to talk to you. They know who you are, and they have questions. Yeah, yeah, 'cause my teacher can't understand what I'm asking. I think adults also have questions, but they forgot how to ask them. Well, because you never want to look like you don't know. Yeah, yeah, see, they're e—see, I don't mind being dumb as hell. I don't mind people knowing I'm dumb as I would tell you I'm dumb as hell.

But I try to meet as many people who can just drop little droplets in my head, just let me know what's out there. I mean, there are questions that everyone has, and that's how I feel about our place in the universe. You know, the idea that we are the only things out here doesn't make any sense to me. That would be, it's inexcusably egocentric to even suggest it.

And is it a human— is it a human thing, or is it an American thing? I don't know. No, it's human. The history of our species is one where we are certain we are in the middle. You know, what does Mediterranean mean? It means Middle Earth. Mediterranean. So, back then, they named the region because they believed they were in the middle of the Flat Earth at the time.

You know, with the announcement recently of finding—what do they say? 120 other—oh, no, so 1,200. 1,200 exoplanets out there. Okay, so that didn't make me feel better, I will tell you, 'cause I don't know where those planets are, what are they doing, who's on—who's on it. They could have a press release on their own planet today saying we've just discovered planets in a thousand systems, including this one over here where they call themselves Earth. We could be in their sky, yes, thinking about it the way we're thinking about them now. We're not looking to hurt those planets, not initially.
