0:00.0	Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
0:07.0	We're talking to Professor Constantine Batigian, is that my pronouncing your name correctly,
0:17.0	Constantine? It's a good approximation. You know, it's good enough for astrophysics. I don't speak I speak three fewer
