And you know, a whole range of, now working start getting, lower mass stars.
Things like one solar mass or even lower because you can't form
those without having some of the metals in their atmospheres and their composition.
And one particular star, in one particular corner
of the universe we end up with life beginning.
Life goes on to become more complex.
Takes a long time for it to become complex.
But once that complexity starts it explodes.
And eventually you get a species that develops
some degree of intelligence, some degree of technological intelligence.
Starts using that to look back at the world.
And ask questions about it.
And there you go.
The story of the universe starts getting told by the universe itself.
So the question is are there any other species out there that this is happening?
Are there any other planets out there where this is happening?
Are we completely rare?
Are we a, you know, one in a trillion
trillion chance to get all the accidents to happen
that you lead to a species that can ask
questions of the universe or ask questions of itself?
Or is self-consciousness just you know, as dull as dirt.
Every planet worth its you know, worth its name has a you know,
life and self-consciousness or evolving onto it
so, you know, that's the big question.
That is the, the ultimate question for us looking at the universe.
So, okay, so that's the story.
Now we're ready to ask address the final question for this section.
