[00:00:00]gravitational waves that are flowing through Earth. In theory, you know, are we and the canned goods in the aisle, are we like shrinking and then and then >> Yes, a little tiny, tiny bit. Yes, absolutely.

[00:00:13]>> You you're getting squeezed in and out by these gravitational waves every day, all the time. And now um it's just such a tiny effect that it's You know, when Einstein first predicted the gravitational waves existed, he did this back in um in uh 1915, right?

[00:00:34]But then he did a quick calculation to figure out how strong the effect would be from any sort of imaginable event that he could conceive of.

[00:00:42]And he very quickly figured out that it was going to be such a tiny, tiny, tiny thing that it would be impossible to ever measure is what he concluded, right? He said, "Oh, this is hopeless.

[00:00:53]We will never be able to measure this."
