Joe Rogan podcast, checking out.

The Joe Rogan Experience.

Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.

Absolutely.

It's also, there's some things that are so awesome.

It's like, that's fucking awesome.

I was trying to talk about black holes to some high school

students just seriously earlier this week. And I kept saying, you know, what the f of them?

So I got nothing to pitch, but I, the Shorewood Men's Club, I was giving a talk there. The Shorewood,

Wisconsin is where I live. The Men's Club invited me to give a talk about astronomy last week. And when I mentioned I was coming to the show, they just freaked out. And so the only thing I have is my Shorewood Men's Club water. Well, shout out to the Shorewood Men's Club. That's awesome. That's so cool that you give those speeches. I love your YouTube talks. They're fantastic. Well, thank you. Wow. I have watched probably everyone you've ever done. I've watched at least, I mean, have you done? I've watched at least like 10 of them. Yeah. I mean, so, I mean, pretty much what I did, at NASA, I did a lot of sort of the science spokesperson stuff. And so most of that was, you know, I'm more on the NASA videos. I hosted, like, launch events. I haven't done much privately on YouTube. I'm thinking about starting some stuff. Oh, you should. Yeah, I'll work on that. Okay. 100%. 100%. You've said so many things that made me just go, what?

Ah.

Like, here's the big one that you said.

You were talking about if the size of Earth, if the Earth was the dot of an eye in a book, in regular print, that the Milky Way galaxy would be as large as the Earth itself.

Actually a little bigger. Yeah. So, I mean, the thing is, this is an interesting thing about

science communication. You say that if the sun were the size of a dot of an eye, and you've got to

remember, you can fit a million Earths inside the Sun, right? This is a huge thing.

So if that's the size of a dot of an eye on text, then the galaxy would be the size of the Earth.

That's when people's eyes get big and people respond to it. So it's not just the Earth, the Sun. So if the Sun was the dot of an eye. Yes, that's right. Let's make this clear. So the sun were the size of a dot of an eye on a page of text. So you could fit a million earths inside that dot of an eye, then the Milky Way galaxy would be bigger than the Earth. Yeah. So if the Earth was the dot of an eye, then, how big is the Milky Way Galaxy? Because the sun is how many millions Earths? Volume-wise, you could fit over a million earths inside the sun.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The sun is about 800,000 miles across.

You could fit about 110 Earths across it, the diameter.
