00:00Well, the sun is going to be eclipsed.
00:04That alone is a monumental event and, you know, I mean, it happens every year.
00:11The sun gets in the way of the sun every year, but it affects some narrow part of the earth
00:18so that the next one over Indiana will be like a hundred years from now, we'll all be
00:25dead.
00:26I might not be, but you guys are going to be dead the next time.
00:30So it's an event, but when you ponder the mystery, if you ponder what's taking place
00:39in the heavens, it's gargantuan.
00:44It's perfectly probable that there'll be an enormous thunderstorm the instant the sun
00:52is eclipsed.
00:53It's also perfectly possible that it'll be a clear, bright, lovely, warm spring day,
01:02and we will all enjoy the benefits of the Hoosier weather.
01:07What happens if it's cloudy?
01:10I don't know.
01:12It's like looking into the pit of a volcano saying, what do we do about that thing?
01:20There's nothing can be done.
01:22There's nothing can be done.
01:23I've devised 15 minutes of me talking to the audience, 15 minutes before the actual eclipse,
01:32and because my last words, I'm sure will be, and now the eclipse, and the eclipse happens.
