Yeah Oh okay Future scientists this is the last section

00:07

Got five more questions for you And here's our little

00:10

passage because you know the way that way studying our

00:23

place in the universe can be downright humbling Yeah scientists

00:27

have pondered just how big the universe is for ages

every once in a while there Bob you know we're

01:36

looking at you but we'll definitely not islands of stars

01:40

So the answer is B scientists do
