1 00:00:03,470 --> 00:00:01,730 we actually have some data that we can 2 00:00:05,870 --> 00:00:03,480 use to figure out the distribution of 3 00:00:08,509 --> 00:00:05,880 some kinds of aliens in space-time you 4 00:00:10,730 --> 00:00:08,519 just have to be clever about it so we 5 00:00:13,370 --> 00:00:10,740 have a three parameter model and each of 6 00:00:14,270 --> 00:00:13,380 those parameters is fit to concrete data 7 00:00:17,090 --> 00:00:14,280 we have 8 00:00:19,490 --> 00:00:17,100 and so the story is then we know this 9 00:00:21,650 --> 00:00:19,500 model roughly it's a stochastic model of 10 00:00:23,210 --> 00:00:21,660 where aliens are in space time and we 11 00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:23,220 say we kind of have to believe it 12 00:00:28,250 --> 00:00:26,160 because of another key datum which is 13 00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:28,260 that we're early in the history of the 14 00:00:33,590 --> 00:00:30,960 universe and so the the date on the 15 00:00:35,330 --> 00:00:33,600 clock is a key piece of data and it 16 00:00:36,830 --> 00:00:35,340 tells you there are aliens out there 17 00:00:39,590 --> 00:00:36,840 right now 18 00:00:40,970 --> 00:00:39,600 and using these other pieces of data we 19 00:00:42,889 --> 00:00:40,980 can get the distribution in space time 20 00:00:44,630 --> 00:00:42,899 so I I know when you're hearing this 21 00:00:46,549 --> 00:00:44,640 you're going that can't be right but 22 00:00:48,889 --> 00:00:46,559 it's being as clever as those ancient 23 00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:48,899 Greeks did to figure out 24 00:00:53,810 --> 00:00:51,840 how far away the Sun is from just 25 00:00:55,369 --> 00:00:53,820 you know a few pieces of info you
