with nothing in it. It's empty this time. 361 00:25:06,692 --> 00:25:07,640 That's 22-- 362 00:25:07,792 --> 00:25:10,410 In all the equations that describe motion and heat and entropy. 363 00:25:10,628 --> 00:25:14,011 In all Feynman diagrams what's the one variable that you can turn negative... 364 00:25:14,265 --> 00:25:16,632 and still get rational answers for? It's not mass. 365 00:25:16,834 --> 00:25:19,517 Twenty-two hours, 27 minutes in the box. 366 00:25:19,737 --> 00:25:22,900 -It's an odd number. -That's 1,347 minutes. 367 00:25:24,742 --> 00:25:28,124 -1,347, man, you got that fast. -How did you know it's odd? 368 00:25:28,378 --> 00:25:32,273 Because this is it. This is what's going on. There's an "A" end and a "B" end. 369 00:25:32,549 --> 00:25:35,397 Let's say the A end is 12:00,and the B end is 12:01. 370 00:25:35,618 --> 00:25:38,400 All right? We start the machine with the Weeble at the A end. 371 00:25:38,620 --> 00:25:40,955 -It travels forward-- -You got to write this down. 372 00:25:41,157 --> 00:25:43,491 -There's nothing to write down. -I'll write it down. 373 00:25:43,693 --> 00:25:45,667 It travels forward normally towards the B end. 374 00:25:45,862 --> 00:25:48,196 When it gets there, the feed runs down parabolically... 375 00:25:48,398 --> 00:25:51,397 until it should stop, but it curves back around towards the A end. 376 00:25:51,633 --> 00:25:54,666 When it gets back to the A end.... Curve that around. The Weeble... 377 00:25:54,903 --> 00:25:58,099 has experienced a total of two minutes, and again it curves-- 378 00:25:58,340 --> 00:26:00,380 -Back around. It curves parabolically. -Right. 379 00:26:00,575 --> 00:26:03,096 It comes back around and it does this about 1,300 times. 380 00:26:03,311 --> 00:26:04,969 When it finally exits on the B end... 381 00:26:05,146 --> 00:26:07,863 it's traveled an odd number of forward and backward trips. 382 00:26:08,083 --> 00:26:11,378 What is so special about 1,300? Why is it about 1,300? Why isn't it exact? 383 00:26:11,619 --> 00:26:13,593 -This is not empirical. -Here, give me that. 384 00:26:13,788 --> 00:26:17,432 I don't know why it's not exact. There's some sort of probability there. 385 00:26:17,692 --> 00:26:20,113 Every time it hits the B end there's a chance... 386 00:26:20,328 --> 00:26:23,110 a small chance it won't curve back around towards the A end. 387 00:26:23,330 --> 00:26:26,876 And for some reason, it takes about 1,300 trips before it finally does. 388 00:26:27,134 --> 00:26:30,298 It does have to exit, or else we wouldn't be able to see it afterwards. 389 00:26:30,537 --> 00:26:32,446 Okay, let's take a look at this. 390 00:26:33,206 --> 00:26:35,409 Twenty-two hours, 14 minutes. 391 00:26:39,546 --> 00:26:42,579 -1,334 minutes. -Even. 392 00:26:45,085 --> 00:26:46,743 Enter at the B end. 393 00:26:48,789 --> 00:26:50,447 Exit at the B end. 394 00:26:53,526 --> 00:26:56,788 -I just want you to see it the way l saw it. -I am trying, okay? 395 00:26:57,029 --> 00:26:59,396 Everything we're putting in that box comes ungrounded. 396 00:26:59,598 --> 00:27:02,248 And I don't mean grounded to the earth, I mean not tethered. 397 00:27:02,468 --> 00:27:05,501 We're blocking whatever keeps it moving forward, so they flip-flop. 398 00:27:05,738 --> 00:27:08,738 Inside the box, it's like a street, and both ends are cul-de-sacs. 399 00:27:08,973 --> 00:27:12,802 This isn't frame dragging or wormhole matching. It's basic mechanics and heat. 400 00:27:13,077 --> 00:27:15,084 This is not mechanics and heat. 401 00:27:19,483 --> 00:27:22,898 -We can publish. -Yeah, we can publish. 402 00:27:23,154 --> 00:27:25,543 No, I mean we can really publish. 403 00:27:26,457 --> 00:27:28,726 Aaron, the Weeble's stupid. It can't move. 404 00:27:28,926 --> 00:27:31,414 Even if we were to put the Weeble in at point B... 405 00:27:31,628 --> 00:27:36,135 it's still going to bounce back and forth until it's kicked out at the B end. 406 00:27:39,937 --> 00:27:41,431 But if it were smart... 407 00:27:43,339 --> 00:27:47,365 it could enter at the B end and exit at the A end before it flips back. 408 00:27:51,547 --> 00:27:55,507 You're talking about making a bigger one. 409 00:27:56,986 --> 00:28:00,182 I didn't say anything. You're the one talking about it. 410 00:28:01,791 --> 00:28:03,285 So, you believe me? 411 00:28:05,428 --> 00:28:06,638 No, I don't. 412 00:28:06,863 --> 00:28:09,132 Come on. Let's go get a drink or something. 413 00:28:14,302 --> 00:28:16,636 -We're going to have to move it. -We will. 414 00:28:20,140 --> 00:28:22,507 We need a box big enough for a person to fit into. As far as turning it on-- 415 00:28:22,644 --> 00:28:25,742 I was testing the box. It turns out over half the rings are redundant. 416 00:28:25,980 --> 00:28...
