I’m not a conspiracy theorist or a flat-earther… but I find it very suspicious that they have things measured in Kelvin and Fahrenheit light-years away from earth, yet at the edge of our solar system aliens refuse to use Celsius. It just doesn’t add up…. 😜

Just before listening to this I read this article https://www.iflscience.com/nasas-voyager-spacecraft-found-a-30000-50000-kelvin-wall-at-the-edge-of-our-solar-system-79454 in which I was introduced to the words heliopause & heliosphere. Both of which play an important part in this book.
