Everything's changed. So one person he listened. Last time we were talking about you're talking about? Oh, yeah, there's been so many discoveries since last time your gravitational waves have been verified. They've been projected before but now they've been verified, I guess I suppose. They say the math is strong. I'll let the scientific community that that all. But But yeah, they say that they found what was it like a 26. And ours, I think it was 26 and 34. solar mass, black hole orbiting each other, came closer and closer kind of spiraling in on their same like point. And then they finally merged together, when the two giant black holes a solar mass, like we talked about before, is the size of our Sun. So one sun, around Earth is one solar mass. So these black holes were each 30 solar masses, so 30 times more massive than the mass of the sun. And these two black holes smiled at each other. And it's at this rate, I think, predicted in Einstein's theory of special relativity, where it k
