My first question to him is going to be, does he know next weeks Lotto numbers, depending on how he answers that, will determine if I ask more in-depth cosmological questions

When logging in the #astronomers channel from our website http://www.darksky.net.au/aairc.html please use a proper name as nicknames can get confusing if there are lots of users on channel.
Many Thanks.
Bert
