Someone was actually asking him questions about the shit he reads? Hm. Seems like his education and ability to absorb information methodically, neatly, and (at times.) well, comes in handy in the most surprising of events. He moistened his lips, determining that yes, he had too much to explain. To little time. And too little words to create a strong enough argument. He'd however, do his best with the short and sweet.
"It's as simple as the simple fact that there are irreducible features to the universe. You are one of them. When the Big Bang happened, everything was entangled very intimately--there's evidence of this, like a big ass long explanation but I'm giving you the gist-- and everything is still entangled, space being a construct that gives an illusion that things are separate. Reality is all up here. " He taps the side of his own temple. "You might not be you when you die, or here, but you'll be around. The evidence is all around you. This exists. That's just the tip of the scientific iceberg as far as spooky science goes."
