d at yourself. Good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. And if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that no human can understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tankard, a chiller, a stein, a koozie, a jug or flask or vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite l…
← Previous segment →arris is destroying the world. We'll get to all that. But there are major reports of zigzagging UFOs in the Southern California skies. So you know if you were a UFO, you would come to California, wouldn't you? Well, there were lots of people who saw them. There were six flying saucers. They were darting. They were zigzagging.
Now, may I offer you my very informed opinion? If you see some kind of light in the sky or some kind of object and it's zigzagging, that's never an aircraft. It might be a balloon, I suppose. It could be a drone. But it's not some full-size aircraft, right? So credibility of this report in terms of alien spaceships, I would say zero. Some said that it's not too far away from some Air Force or military testing thing, so it might be one of our military testing things. But it's probably just a balloon in the air, a reflection, or a lie or something. I'll tell you what it's not. The least likely possibility is an alien visitation from an alien species that can control gravity and physics. I mean, can't rule it out, but it would be last on my list of possible explanations for this situation.
Now I'm going to make this next story tie back to the first story, but you won't see it coming right away. Second story is engineers have designed — I guess MIT engineers have designed — tiny, tiny batteries so small that you could put them in tiny, tiny robots. And they're so minuscule that you could put them in a cell of a human body. And then you could do things like deploy cell-sized autonomous robots for drug delivery within your body. So imagine robots that are fully programmed robots. They're smaller than the cells of your body. So that's coming.
All right, now watch me cleverly tie it back to the earlier UFO story. What are the odds — and by the way, this idea comes from Douglas Adams the writer, no relation to me — what are the odds that if aliens visited this Earth, the aliens would be approximately our size? It's pretty close to zero, isn't it? Well, what would prevent the aliens from being the size of these tiny robots that are smaller than a human cell? Could it be that there are vast alien civilizations living on Earth, but the entire space that they take up is like, I don't know, the size of a baseball? But you've got like a million aliens living there in their little civilization. And maybe they're not even entirely sure that there's other people on Earth.
So once you realize that the assumed scale or the physical size of aliens, there's no reason it needs to be your size. I mean, why can't the aliens be the size of the planet so that the planet itself is so small they wouldn't be interested in it because they couldn't do anything with it? They're too big. So there might be some physics reasons why things can't be too big. But apparently there's no physics reasons why you can't make a robot that's smaller than a cell in your body. So I'm worried about aliens that are smaller than the cells in your body. They may already be here. Your body might be full of aliens. Could be.
All right, scientists have also developed a solar panel material that's a hundred times thinner than a human hair. And it's so thin they think you can print it on other objects. Apparently it's super efficient too. They say so. Super efficient to yield over 27 percent energy efficiency. That's better than regular solar cells. And it's only as thick as one human hair. Well, that tells you what I'm going to do. I'm going to put that on my human hairs. So I don't have many, but the few human hairs I have left, I'm going to have it coated with this solar stuff so I can charge my phone just by walking outside without my hat. That's my plan. That's my plan.
And by the way, you might need these tiny, tiny solar cells because yeah, there may be an alien civilization that's very small but living on my scalp might need electricity. So I'm tying all the stories together now.
Well, th

ere's a new book by David Stainforth, and it's called "Predicting Our Climate Future." And a big part of the book is him explaining in smart detail why climate models are now — should you spend your money on this book, which I believe is very smart sounding? It would teach you a lot. Or save a few bucks and just ask Scott, because I told you that the climate models are absurd. I told you that you…
