Carl Sagan would have figured it out and would have to able to explain it to a dumbass like me.

But then people would have found out that he lazily made up 75% of the historical background on why the hallway chirps because he thought it made a more compelling story (and had an amateur-at-best understanding of historiography), and then they would have promptly used this to try to discredit the entire discipline of physics
You watch what you say about my man Carl Sagan.
