In all Feynman diagrams what's the
one variable that you can turn negative...

:25:05
and still get rational answers for?
It's not mass.

:25:08
Twenty-two hours, 27 minutes in the box.
:25:10
-It's an odd number.
-That's 1,347 minutes.

:25:15
-1,347, man, you got that fast.
-How did you know it's odd?

:25:19
Because this is it. This is what's going on.
There's an "A" end and a "B" end.

:25:23
Let's say the A end is 12:00,and the B end is 12:01.
:25:26
All right? We start the machine
with the Weeble at the A end.

:25:29
-It travels forward--
-You got to write this down.

:25:32
-There's nothing to write down.
-I'll write it down.

:25:34
It travels forward normally
towards the B end.

:25:37
When it gets there,
the feed runs down parabolically...

:25:39
until it should stop, but it curves
back around towards the A end.

:25:42
When it gets back to the A end....
Curve that around. The Weeble...

:25:46
has experienced a total of two minutes,
and again it curves--

:25:49
-Back around. It curves parabolically.
-Right.

:25:51
It comes back around
and it does this about 1,300 times.

:25:54
When it finally exits on the B end...
:25:56
it's traveled an odd number
of forward and backward trips.

:25:59
What is so special about 1,300?
Why is it about 1,300? Why isn't it exact?

:26:02
-This is not empirical.
-Here, give me that.

:26:04
I don't know why it's not exact.
There's some sort of probability there.

:26:08
Every time it hits the B end
there's a chance...

:26:11
a small chance it won't
curve back around towards the A end.

:26:14
And for some reason, it takes
about 1,300 trips before it finally does.

:26:18
It does have to exit, or else
we wouldn't be able to see it afterwards.

:26:21
Okay, let's take a look at this.
:26:24
Twenty-two hours, 14 minutes.
:26:30
-1,334 minutes.
-Even.

:26:36
Enter at the B end.
:26:39
Exit at the B end.
:26:44
-ljust want you to see it the way I saw it.
-I am trying, okay?

:26:48
Everything we're putting in that box
comes ungrounded.

:26:50
And I don't mean grounded to the earth,
I mean not tethered.

:26:53
We're blocking whatever keeps it
moving forward, so they flip-flop.

:26:56
Inside the box, it's like a street,
and both ends are cul-de-sacs.
