Host hello, or scharf. It is wonderful to have you here today. I found your book fascinating. It was a terrific read and i am thrilled to be here. You know, one of the great things about being here and talking to you is i get to ask you about the big questions. It questions that most people would not have to answer. That is the real fun of this book. So your book is called the copernicus complex. So maybe you could tell us what that is. Guest absolutely. Tanks, ingrid.
