Zoë Schiffer: completely. OK I need to move us to a new topic because I’m already very frustrated. It’s about outer space. So my first question is how do you feel about outer space, Jack? If you have the chance, will you go? Usually I would say, no, thank you. I’m not interested. But, maybe afterwards, I don’t know, yes, take me to Mars.
Jake Lahut: Strangely, I might be more willing to go to outer space than to do deep-sea exploration. This may be with –
Zoë Schiffer: What I want to say.
Jake Lahut: …the things from the Haimen. But no, I’m not only in the Apollo mission, but also in Gemini and Mercury as a kid. I have a small bean bag chair at home and I want to pretend it is a capsule –
Zoë Schiffer: Oh, my god.
Jake Lahut: …that’s re-entering the atmosphere, looking for all –
Zoë Schiffer: I can imagine this perfectly.
Jake Lahut: Yes. Such a huge Al Shepard, John Glenn fan. I love all these things. But I am also a pretty big person and I think it will be difficult to cooperate with the ship.
Zoë Schiffer: Totally fair. I can’t 100% guarantee that you’ll see if you do find a ship that can take you, but wired contributor Jorge Garay reports that a team of astronomers from Yale and Copenhagen recently discovered two galaxies collided with each other. They call it an infinite galaxy. This discovery is very exciting because it may be the first direct evidence to form a true supermassive black hole.
Jake Lahut: Yes. This is some interstellar type of stuff, but it does look like the side eight layers. I found this exciting person. Especially in our vertical video processing on it, if you want to check it on your Instagram reel. I have to say, it’s fascinating.
Zoë Schiffer: Thus, a prominent theory of how stars form when fuel is exhausted and collapsed under their own gravity. However, with very old supermass black holes, there is not enough time for the stars to reach this point. Therefore, this infinite galaxy supports another theory that can form from dense matter, so there is no need for star damage.
Jake Lahut: At least for the time being, we are still discovering new things about American science. Maybe it will continue, maybe not.
Zoë Schiffer: Well, if not, AI will obviously step in and do everything for us.
Jake Lahut: Doge at least can’t go there to catch up with the James Webb telescope. No one will catch that bad boy soon.
Zoë Schiffer: OK So our next story takes us back to Earth, and honestly, back to the Silicon Valley elite who are all this. Our colleague Joel Khalili reported that cryptocurrency companies are finally getting more banking. This is actually crucial, covering our reporting areas, Jack, because off-banking is the core reason for many of the world’s Marc Andreessen types, which many people in the world really make in the Byton administration and go all out. So now we see the fruits of that decision come into play, as many U.S. fintech companies are competing to provide bank accounts for these cryptocurrency-friendly Trump administration. But they still need to comply with the basic rules set by partner banks and therefore do not completely escape the traditional banking system. But, given that this is very critical to the last election, I’m curious about your opinion.
