:23:00
To get the same amount of protein
that we have...
:23:02
the amount that I was wiping off
every five days...
:23:04
and five days later it would accumulate...
:23:06
he says it would take about five to six years.
:23:12
I don't want to belittle this guy.
:23:13
So, I said screw it
and I put my watch in there.
:23:16
- And?
- I want you to do it.
:23:19
- Where is it? The box?
- I took it back to the shop.
:23:24
- Wait, digital or old mechanical?
- Exactly. I did both.
:23:29
- And what?
- I want you to do it.
:23:33
We thought
that we were degrading gravity, right?
:23:36
That we were blocking that information.
:23:38
I think we're doing more than that.
I think we're blocking more than that.
:23:41
When you were controlling the feed,
did you notice it was parabolic?
:23:45
It's important. Parabolas are important.
Here, look at this.
:23:50
I don't know, Abe.
:23:51
I'm going to start it up
and let it run for 60 seconds...
:23:54
with nothing in it. It's empty this time.
:23:56
That's 22...
:23:57
In all the equations that describe motion
and heat and entropy.
:24:00
In all Feynman diagrams what's the
one variable that you can turn negative...
:24:03
and still get rational answers for?
It's not mass.
:24:06
Twenty-two hours, 27 minutes in the box.
:24:09
- It's an odd number.
- That's 1,347 minutes.
:24:13
- 1,347, man, you got that fast.
- How did you know it's odd?
:24:17
Because this is it. This is what's going on.
There's an "A" end and a "B" end.
:24:21
Let's say the A end is 12:00,and the B end is 12:01.
:24:24
All right? We start the machine
with the Weeble at the A end.
:24:27
- It travels forward...
- You got to write this down.
:24:29
- There's nothing to write down.
- I'll write it down.
:24:31
It travels forward normally
towards the B end.
:24:34
When it gets there,
the feed runs down parabolically...
:24:36
until it should stop, but it curves
back around towards the A end.
:24:39
When it gets back to the A end...
Curve that around. The Weeble...
:24:42
has experienced a total of two minutes,
and again it curves...
:24:46
- Back around. It curves parabolically.
- Right.
:24:48
It comes back around
and it does this about 1,300 times.
:24:50
When it finally exits on the B end...
:24:52
it's travelled an odd number
of forward and backward trips.
:24:55
What is so special about 1,300?
Why is it about 1,300? Why isn't it exact?
:24:58
- This is not empirical.
- Here, give me that.
