I respect scientists and congratulate them for their discovery. but my puny brain can’t comprehend the importance of this discovery. life was easier before like when a scientist found some shit, the general public can utilize that shit in a few years but now, at least for me, they are like unreachable for dozen generations.

This entire process took about 0.2 seconds? That’s nuts.
