This is basically Mac from It's Always Sunny doing a let's play, it's amazing.  I would love to see y'all tackle Return of the Obra Dinn after this!So one interesting thing you haven't touched on is that the concept of universal expansion and therefore a point-source big bang origin being worked out from the observation that distant galaxies are redshifting (IE the light waves we see from them are longer, and therefore redder, than they 'should be' b/c the source is moving away from us) is real science: The picture in the Hearth observatory is a direct reference to the Hubble Deep Field—an image created by having the Hubble telescope focus on a patch of sky, of about 1 square inch apparent size from Earth, that is totally dark to terrestrial telescopes, and take in light for a month.  In that single tiny dark patch of sky there are over 3,000 galaxies, among the most distant ever observed. Because they're so distant, and the light from them has such a long distance to travel to Earth, we're effectively seeing "back in time"—it's light that was emitted far, far closer to the birth of the universe than we are now.  Also I notice that our Hearth friends are all named after minerals, and build things from wood, while the ancient aliens are all named after plants, and build things from stone.
