By random coincidence, I started this series and then I get my first opportunity to be a best man, therefore, giving me the opportunity to make an episode on my first impressions of being a best man because you only get one opportunity to get a first impression.

This story is based on an extreme simplification of the false vacuum decay theory. I’m telling you this in case the science actually intrigues you, you can now do your own research and if you try to use the things I say in this episode as your only research and then you try and talk about the theory with someone and then they call you out for only using an extreme simplification of the theory, you can’t say it’s my fault since I already told you and this episode description is my evidence, so you can go ahead and show it to your lawyer.
