1:33:44listened to what has been one of our most tightly run pods. Uh especially with our new season two setup. This was great for episode two. If you've listened this far and you've stayed, it's helpful for us to know. So, the comment of those for those who stayed is what do you think the reason is why this was named Cloud9 or any other Cloud9 related puns? >> Yeah, cuz I don't know why it was named Cloud9. >> And actually, one thing I do want to shout out is um friend of the pod, Daniel Gilman. I actually asked him about this story and he connected me with Julio who's one of the authors of this paper and we had a really quick
1:34:25email exchange where I had some questions about some of the stuff that was said on this. So, you know, thank you guys for actually indulging and like giving me a little bit of your time because I know you guys are busy trying to figure out what dark matter is and all this stuff. But very cool paper, Julio. >> Yes. Yes. and thank you for the work. And hopefully if you take a listen to it, we did it justice. >> Yes. And >> let us know. >> If not, always send over a correction for us. Which brings up >> our next section, which is going to be corrections from last episode. Yeah. These aren't that egregious. But, you know, as always, we try to stay true to who we are. So, if we do make mistakes, we do want to shout them out. Okay. First one, not a science mistake, more
1:35:07of a literature mistake. I said that I was quoting um Julius Caesar the famous Shakespeare play and I said that the friends Romans countrymen lend me your ears and also you know but Brutus was an honorable man and they are all honorable men. I said that was Augustus aka Octavius. No, that was a speech by Mark Anthony. >> Ah >> at Caesar's funeral. >> Yes. And it was it's an amazing speech because that's the speech that finally convinces all of Romans that Brutus is actually a bad guy and maybe killing Caesar was not a good thing. Um the the second, this is more of not really a correction. This is kind of an interesting tidbit. I was talking to my friend Alan Southworth who works in
1:35:48energy in California and he was actually telling me that energy or markets might be an exception to the square root law because energy markets don't really work the same way that commodities markets or stock markets or you know crypto markets work because >> the demand is like not elastic at all like the price and demand stuff is not elastic at all because imagine right let's say that like there's a demand for electricity at a certain rate. Like we're offering we're offering to buy electricity at a certain rate. At that rate, it might only be feasible for certain electricity producers to meet that demand because it could be,
1:36:29you know, wind or solar or things like that because turning on additional wind turbines is not really that hard. >> Right. Right. Right. On the other hand, turning on like nuclear or turning on natural gas, you got to buy a bunch of natural gas to turn something on, right? So the it's it's not so trivial to just be like, "Oh, you need this much amount of electricity. Let me just go turn on my, you know, gas burner." >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So there that square root law might not actually work. >> So it might not be truly universal. >> Universal. And and that's something that the Tokyo Stock Exchange might not actually account for, right? which is which is what that paper was. That paper was very specifically for the Tokyo
1:37:09Stock Exchange, >> right? >> Perhaps it's different for these other types of markets. >> Uh great great insight and note from Friend of the Pod. >> Yeah. And then the final one was I did say that the there was a Japanese satellite that took that photo of being in between the sun and the earth, taking that photo of the moon coming in between and crashing it. That's not actually true. That's from the Deep Space Climate Observatory, which is a NASA satellite. So, we want to give NASA its due credit. That was NASA, not the Japanese. >> The Americans. >> Yeah, we're doing it. >> Whenever something good, really good, or really bad is happening, a reasonable response is the Americans. [laughter] >> Yep. >> Um, >> so those are the three corrections.
1:37:49>> Three corrections. And And just as a quick reminder, uh, we love comments. We love seeing the back and forth and discussion. Keep commenting. Keep sharing. If you work in a lab, bring it into your next lab meeting. Just play them a snippet. people will love it, that you're gonna sound great and amazing. So, we appreciate the sharing. We're trying to fight the billionaire algorithms as best that we can. And we're trying to provide some mental health benefits to the people of the world by stretching out some of those neurons, getting them exercised. Your feeds are full of enough random nonsense. Uh so, those who tune in and listen to the full thing, we really appreciate you again. Great episode
1:38:29today. We started off string theory applying to biological networks. That was a nice crossover episode. It's like when Power Rangers went on whatever thingy you learn the Power Rangers from space hooked up with the Power Rangers from Mighty Morphin and >> um great first story. We did our rundown which had some fascinating tidbits. >> Jellyfish sleep even though they don't have a brain >> and it's because it damages your DNA. And we may have found a genuinely new celestial object in cloud9 more soon. We shall see. >> We shall see. >> Uh a great spectrum of institutions with papers in nature communications, nature
1:39:10and the astrophysical journals. I am your host Lester Nar joined as always by my co-host and our resident PhD who is offcenter in this broadcast. So, we'll make sure that he's more >> I'm sure I'm sure someone's going to say some >> Yeah. >> Oh, why he's leaning into the camera? Can't we get the camera angle centered? >> Yeah, you can't [laughter] do anything right. >> Uh, we really appreciate you all so much as always. This is from First
