Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO late night series Real Time with Bill Maugh.

Alright, Neil, what do the recent reports that the universe is expanding at a rate 9% faster than we thought mean for life on Earth?

Nothing.

Alright.

You mean I'm going to point it next to today.

I'm safe.

That solves no earthly problems other than to reflect on the fact that our several pounds of gray matter in our brain has the power to even figure that out.

When will it mean something?

How many billions of years has this?

That's a great question we don't know and we didn't know what studying the atom and molecules in the 1920s would have any effect on our future at all.

Because you can't even see atoms 50 years later it is the foundation of the IT revolution.

Knowledge and understanding of the atom it's quantum physics.

So never stand in denial of what something that who's valued to society we have no clue what it can be might ultimately become half a century later.

Right.

That's cool.

That's cool.

That's cool man.

That's cool.

I'm just saying.

Right.

I mean especially about the human body.

We don't know shit about that.
