1 00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:37,891 Here's what's going to happen. I'm going to read this... 2 00:00:38,203 --> 00:00:41,297 and you're going to listen, and you're going to stay on the line. 3 00:00:41,406 --> 00:00:45,001 You're not going to interrupt. You're not going to speak for any reason. 4 00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:48,876 Now, some of this you know. I'm going to start at the top of the page. 5 00:00:51,516 --> 00:00:55,816 Meticulous, yes. Methodical. Educated. 6 00:00:55,921 --> 00:00:57,889 They were these things. 7 00:00:57,989 --> 00:01:00,514 Nothing extreme. Like anyone, they varied. 8 00:01:00,625 --> 00:01:04,789 There were days of mistakes and laziness and infighting. 9 00:01:05,297 --> 00:01:09,165 And there were days, good days, when by anyone's judgment... 10 00:01:09,501 --> 00:01:11,867 they would have to be considered clever. 11 00:01:12,037 --> 00:01:15,268 No one would say that what they were doing was complicated. 12 00:01:15,574 --> 00:01:19,943 It wouldn't even be considered new. Except maybe in the geological sense. 13 00:01:20,312 --> 00:01:23,008 They took from their surroundings what was needed... 14 00:01:23,114 --> 00:01:24,775 and made of it something more. 15 00:01:24,883 --> 00:01:28,512 - We haven't even set up an appointment. - What order date did you put on this? 16 00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:31,783 - The 28th. Why? - I don't know... Yeah, I'm putting 28th. 17 00:01:31,890 --> 00:01:36,156 Have you thought any more about what you want to put forward? 18 00:01:37,896 --> 00:01:40,262 - Not really. - Because I was... 19 00:01:40,365 --> 00:01:43,061 I mean I haven't changed my mind or anything. 20 00:01:43,168 --> 00:01:47,104 Phillip and I were talking, and we think it could be good. It'd be fun. 21 00:01:49,941 --> 00:01:51,704 Nobody's saying it wouldn't be fun. 22 00:01:51,810 --> 00:01:55,871 The time for jacking around with Tesla coils and ball lightning in the garage is over. 23 00:01:55,981 --> 00:01:58,575 Maybe you should try it on your own in your free time. 24 00:01:58,683 --> 00:02:01,743 My free time? The free time after the 50 hours a week at work... 25 00:02:01,853 --> 00:02:05,846 or after the 30 hours of free time I already spend in that garage? 26 00:02:06,257 --> 00:02:08,248 And it's not a Tesla coil. 27 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,920 I could save a few minutes a day by eating on the toilet. 28 00:02:11,029 --> 00:02:13,725 How many patents do we have? In the last 14 months? 29 00:02:13,832 --> 00:02:16,733 - Did you sign the agreement? - Nobody signed the agreement. 30 00:02:16,835 --> 00:02:18,962 Doesn't matter, we're sticking to the agreement. 31 00:02:19,070 --> 00:02:22,198 Name one thing out of that garage that's remotely profitable. 32 00:02:22,307 --> 00:02:25,640 I don't see anybody quitting their jobs because of it. Are you? 33 00:02:25,744 --> 00:02:28,406 Abe just means that right now the JTAG cards are it. 34 00:02:28,513 --> 00:02:32,813 When you look at the addresses, we have a lot of apartments. A lot of residences. 35 00:02:32,917 --> 00:02:35,943 But these are not the bulk orders to the OEMs or retail giants. 36 00:02:36,054 --> 00:02:38,249 - These are the quiet basement... - Hackers. 37 00:02:38,356 --> 00:02:41,792 Yeah, hacker wannabes testing their dads' old motherboards. 38 00:02:43,028 --> 00:02:46,964 And I know that a lot of that is my fault, admittedly, you know. 39 00:02:47,198 --> 00:02:48,584 With everything last year, 40 00:02:48,664 --> 00:02:51,489 and the doubletalk we were getting from Platts... 41 00:02:51,569 --> 00:02:55,232 - and all the stuff we won't get into now... - We should get into it. 42 00:02:56,107 --> 00:02:57,597 I'm sorry. What? 43 00:02:59,344 --> 00:03:01,141 Go ahead. Tell him. 44 00:03:02,547 --> 00:03:05,072 We should get into it. I talked to my brother today. 45 00:03:05,183 --> 00:03:07,743 He knows of two other cases like that at his firm. 46 00:03:07,852 --> 00:03:09,853 Let Platts know that we're talking about it. 47 00:03:09,933 --> 00:03:11,174 Look, forget Platts. 48 00:03:11,256 --> 00:03:14,679 This has got to be about what has the best chance of going to market... 49 00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:16,989 and what is going to get us VC attention. 50 00:03:17,095 --> 00:03:20,462 Look, I stuck by you guys when it was your turn. 51 00:03:20,565 --> 00:03:23,363 And I wasn't 100% sure of what we were doing... 52 00:03:23,468 --> 00:03:25,766 or even if I didn't agree, maybe. 53 00:03:27,005 --> 00:03:29,132 But if it's my turn... 54 00:03:29,374 --> 00:03:33,105 if we're still playing by the rules, then this is what I want to try. 55 00:03:36,314 --> 00:03:38,646 Here, take it. They said it wouldn't hold a freeze. 56 00:03:38,750 --> 00:03:40,877 Robert, please. It's not going to hold. 57 00:03:40,985 --> 00:03:44,250 - It's going to go bad in my car. - It'll go bad here. Okay, thanks. 58 00:03:44,355 --> 00:03:46,050 - Good night, all. - See you. 59 00:03:48,727 --> 00:03:52,390 - We just got done giving this huge speech... - We gave the speech? 60 00:03:52,497 --> 00:03:54,522 We just got done. It was five minutes ago. 61 00:03:54,632 --> 00:03:59,399 I'm the one that forced the issue. They're onto us because I suck as the bad cop. 62 00:03:59,504 --> 00:04:02,871 - You should do it. You could fake it better. - I don't know about that. 63 00:04:02,974 --> 00:04:06,341 As long as we're going down this road where it's eighth grade physics... 64 00:04:06,444 --> 00:04:09,902 and happy fun time out in that garage, I think we could stand to try this. 65 00:04:10,014 --> 00:04:13,040 Phillip and Robert are gung ho on theirs, and that's fine. 66 00:04:13,151 --> 00:04:15,449 But you know I have no interest in that. 67 00:04:15,553 --> 00:04:17,885 I know you have no interest, besides the fact... 68 00:04:17,989 --> 00:04:21,823 that Phillip and Robert don't even need us. They just want to use the equipment. 69 00:04:21,926 --> 00:04:24,258 For what I want to do? We don't need them. 70 00:04:24,362 --> 00:04:27,160 Not even Phillip, because it doesn't need software. 71 00:04:27,899 --> 00:04:30,732 - Is she asleep? - No, and she needs a bath. 72 00:04:31,136 --> 00:04:34,503 - She'll wind up in the closet if I do it. - That's fine. 73 00:04:35,406 --> 00:04:38,239 You know, even if Robert's okay with it, and he won't be. 74 00:04:38,343 --> 00:04:42,746 - I don't understand what that thing will do. - We'll let them go at it for two months. 75 00:04:42,847 --> 00:04:45,543 - They do theirs, we do ours. - They said it'd take 14 hours. 76 00:04:45,650 --> 00:04:47,743 Don't eat that. Seriously, it's bad. 77 00:04:47,852 --> 00:04:50,320 We threw the first couple of batches out. The filter. 78 00:04:50,421 --> 00:04:52,116 What about crushed? 79 00:04:53,525 --> 00:04:55,049 These guys are funded. 80 00:04:55,326 --> 00:04:58,489 - These guys are... What? - Liquid helium. These guys are funded. 81 00:04:58,596 --> 00:05:00,223 That's what this is. 82 00:05:00,331 --> 00:05:02,663 That's the whole difference. That's what the box is. 83 00:05:02,767 --> 00:05:05,895 We don't have to play the game where we're going back and forth... 84 00:05:06,004 --> 00:05:09,940 coming up with innovative ways to make it colder and unusable in the process. 85 00:05:10,041 --> 00:05:13,204 - Aaron, I need the hexagonal set. - This is unmarketable. 86 00:05:13,311 --> 00:05:16,007 By coming at it from the back end, rather than changing... 87 00:05:16,114 --> 00:05:19,277 the surrounding temperature, we'll change the level it'll conduct... 88 00:05:19,384 --> 00:05:22,217 the transition temperature. And by bombarding these edges... 89 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,517 They're dropping the ceramic, the temperature lower and lower. 90 00:05:25,623 --> 00:05:29,423 It makes the ceramic less resistant and knocks out the interior magnetic field. 91 00:05:29,527 --> 00:05:32,257 What I'm saying is we drop the box down on it. 92 00:05:32,831 --> 00:05:36,164 Focus our own magnetic field to negate, knock out with the inverse... 93 00:05:36,267 --> 00:05:38,132 what's going on inside the ceramic. 94 00:05:38,236 --> 00:05:42,263 That should change the transition temperature to something we can work with. 95 00:05:42,373 --> 00:05:45,809 - What are we saying that is? - Hopefully, near room temperature. 96 00:05:47,078 --> 00:05:49,774 What is that about? The best mathematician is a lazy one? 97 00:05:49,881 --> 00:05:52,611 - What did you ask for? - I asked. I need the hexagonal set. 98 00:05:52,717 --> 00:05:54,378 - What did you call it? - Just come on. 99 00:05:54,485 --> 00:05:56,274 - Are these Type One? - The superconductors? 100 00:05:56,354 --> 00:05:58,015 Yeah, they're Type One. 101 00:05:58,122 --> 00:05:59,749 Is that going to be a problem? 102 00:05:59,858 --> 00:06:02,725 There's plenty lying around at work, but they're all bar coded. 103 00:06:02,827 --> 00:06:06,422 - If I have to, I'll buy the kits. - What are you doing about the source? 104 00:06:06,531 --> 00:06:07,862 What? 105 00:06:08,566 --> 00:06:11,501 - I can get them. - You can... Are you sure? 106 00:06:11,603 --> 00:06:13,400 I thought you didn't like this idea. 107 00:06:13,504 --> 00:06:16,473 Buy them if you have to. Everything else we can take care of. 108 00:06:16,574 --> 00:06:17,939 What about the source here? 109 00:06:18,042 --> 00:06:20,567 You know that story about how NASA spent millions... 110 00:06:20,678 --> 00:06:24,478 developing this pen that writes in zero-G? Did you ever read that? 111 00:06:24,582 --> 00:06:28,018 - And how Russia solved the problem? - Yeah, they used a pencil. 112 00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:30,219 Right, a normal wooden pencil. 113 00:06:31,089 --> 00:06:34,217 It just seems like Phillip takes the NASA route almost every time. 114 00:06:34,325 --> 00:06:36,987 - Palladium? - You've got their diagram, what does it say? 115 00:06:37,095 --> 00:06:39,029 They use a ratio of platinum and palladium. 116 00:06:39,130 --> 00:06:41,098 That's not necessary with the changes I made. 117 00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:43,463 They're just showing off. If you have it, use it. 118 00:06:43,568 --> 00:06:45,035 I want to get a replacement router. 119 00:06:45,136 --> 00:06:48,230 - I'm putting down four ounces of palladium. - Did Robert look at it? 120 00:06:48,339 --> 00:06:50,102 - I already got his. - I can't fix it. 121 00:06:50,208 --> 00:06:53,871 - Okay. Where are you getting it? - Wal-Mart. It's $50. 122 00:06:54,212 --> 00:06:56,874 - Okay. Can you get a receipt, please? - Yeah. 123 00:06:56,981 --> 00:06:59,211 Wait, platinum or palladium is less resistant? 124 00:06:59,317 --> 00:07:01,376 - Abe? It's not a... - Yeah, I don't care. 125 00:07:01,486 --> 00:07:03,977 - So resistance doesn't matter. - I need an aye or a yes. 126 00:07:04,088 --> 00:07:06,113 - Did you jiggle the... - The collet nut? 127 00:07:06,224 --> 00:07:08,954 - Robert did it. - Well, yes. I guess. 128 00:07:09,494 --> 00:07:12,895 - Well, then, which is cheaper? - You're not going to buy it, are you? 129 00:07:12,997 --> 00:07:16,364 Well, unless you've got a few grams of palladium lying around. 130 00:07:16,901 --> 00:07:19,631 Why would they put it in there if you didn't need it? 131 00:07:19,737 --> 00:07:21,796 One catalytic converter. It's fine. 132 00:07:21,906 --> 00:07:24,568 Remember to put it back. Your emission just went up 300%. 133 00:07:24,676 --> 00:07:26,576 - Is there enough in here? - Yeah, should be. 134 00:07:26,678 --> 00:07:30,546 If not, we'll pull the one out of my truck. Okay, copper tubing. 135 00:07:38,056 --> 00:07:41,321 - This will be out of commission, right? - Without the tubing? 136 00:07:42,260 --> 00:07:45,491 - We can use the Freon, too. - No, it's going to be room temperature. 137 00:07:45,596 --> 00:07:46,654 I know, just in case. 138 00:07:46,764 --> 00:07:50,791 No, wait. Stop. I'll just buy the tubing. This isn't saving us money. 139 00:07:56,708 --> 00:07:59,768 - Jay? Hey, man. How are you? - Good. 140 00:08:21,432 --> 00:08:23,593 Should we be wearing goggles? 141 00:08:25,970 --> 00:08:28,165 - Should we be wearing goggles? - What? 142 00:08:28,272 --> 00:08:30,536 Goggles. Should we be wearing goggles? 143 00:08:37,849 --> 00:08:40,283 Wait. Phillip, you don't want to come out here. 144 00:08:40,385 --> 00:08:42,580 Phillip, grab a mask, okay? 145 00:09:23,428 --> 00:09:25,896 It is, though, right? It's not just me? 146 00:09:25,997 --> 00:09:29,326 No, it's definitely smaller, but it just seems that way. 147 00:09:29,406 --> 00:09:31,052 Take what they have. 148 00:09:31,335 --> 00:09:33,769 Minus the coolant which we don't need. 149 00:09:34,272 --> 00:09:36,365 The rest of it is the mercury bath... 150 00:09:36,474 --> 00:09:40,740 which you would know better than I do, but they're probably just showing off. 151 00:09:41,446 --> 00:09:45,644 I mean, you have it, you got to use it, right? 152 00:09:46,551 --> 00:09:48,951 - What? Does it hurt? - No, I didn't feel anything. 153 00:09:49,053 --> 00:09:51,351 That sound is just weirding me out. 154 00:09:57,028 --> 00:09:59,053 - What does it feel like? - I don't know. 155 00:09:59,163 --> 00:10:01,324 I don't know if I'm making it up. 156 00:10:02,533 --> 00:10:03,795 Here. 157 00:10:18,149 --> 00:10:20,947 - Next part. Let's do the next part. - Yeah. 158 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,293 Isn't there some sort of glass or a transparent... 159 00:10:32,396 --> 00:10:34,956 Anything we can use as a window? Pyrex? 160 00:10:35,066 --> 00:10:36,693 - Yeah, I'm in. - Okay, drop it. 161 00:10:36,801 --> 00:10:39,861 I don't know of anything that won't leave a gap in the field. 162 00:10:39,971 --> 00:10:41,962 But we got to see what's going on in there. 163 00:10:42,073 --> 00:10:44,735 - How much did that cost? - Yeah. 164 00:10:45,676 --> 00:10:48,372 - What? - You want to put my camcorder... 165 00:10:48,479 --> 00:10:52,006 inside the box that's so dangerous we can't look into it. 166 00:10:55,486 --> 00:10:58,319 If something happens, would you pay me back? 167 00:10:59,724 --> 00:11:03,216 So we have a slightly negative pressure in the box. 168 00:11:03,494 --> 00:11:05,359 So we're ready for the argon. 169 00:11:06,097 --> 00:11:09,658 - Which one is that? - It's the blue one. 170 00:11:10,168 --> 00:11:13,535 I weighed it at 77 grams. 171 00:11:13,671 --> 00:11:15,901 I set the scale to decagrams, though. 172 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,898 I'm showing 7.7 decagrams. 173 00:11:21,012 --> 00:11:22,775 Ready for... 174 00:11:23,314 --> 00:11:27,683 0.05 liters of argon. 175 00:11:36,294 --> 00:11:38,762 - You ready? - Just the plate first, right? 176 00:11:38,863 --> 00:11:42,064 Right, first just the plate, and then we'll... 177 00:11:47,305 --> 00:11:49,202 Let's just give it a second. 178 00:12:07,458 --> 00:12:09,551 - You want to do the box now? - Yeah. 179 00:12:09,727 --> 00:12:12,389 Let's go through the checklist. Aaron, hold on a second. 180 00:12:12,496 --> 00:12:16,193 Let's make sure everything's set up right. Hold on, Aaron. Wait. 181 00:12:17,969 --> 00:12:19,402 Just wait. 182 00:12:30,681 --> 00:12:32,012 Okay. 183 00:12:41,492 --> 00:12:42,891 Anything? 184 00:12:44,095 --> 00:12:46,290 - Is this normal? - I don't know. 185 00:12:47,531 --> 00:12:49,624 - I'm turning it off. - Wait! No. 186 00:12:53,070 --> 00:12:56,471 - Okay, I didn't do that. - Did we blow something? 187 00:12:58,442 --> 00:13:01,570 Yeah, we did. That's destroyed. 188 00:13:02,246 --> 00:13:04,908 - You want to check your camera? - Yeah. 189 00:13:05,349 --> 00:13:07,283 - Let's get this. - You ready? 190 00:13:07,451 --> 00:13:09,715 One, two, three. 191 00:13:22,967 --> 00:13:26,494 Hey. Tell me you're hungry. Kara's at her mom's and I'm starving. 192 00:13:26,937 --> 00:13:29,030 Yeah, I'm hungry. What... 193 00:13:29,140 --> 00:13:33,304 Abe, it's 7:00. Abe, it's 7:00 at night. 194 00:13:33,477 --> 00:13:35,809 - Okay, yeah, I have food... - Okay. 195 00:13:35,913 --> 00:13:39,280 - Wait, are those kids there? - Just a sec. 196 00:13:40,351 --> 00:13:41,750 Yeah, they're here. 197 00:13:41,852 --> 00:13:45,618 Okay, screw that, let's just go somewhere. I just pulled in, so come on down. 198 00:13:45,723 --> 00:13:48,783 Come up first. I have some stuff I want to take back to the shop. 199 00:13:48,893 --> 00:13:51,020 All right, but meet me at the door. 200 00:13:51,128 --> 00:13:54,291 - Okay, all right. - Seriously, meet me at the door. 201 00:13:54,432 --> 00:13:56,332 Okay. All right. See you. 202 00:14:10,448 --> 00:14:12,814 - What's up, Abe? - Hey, Brad. How are you? 203 00:14:13,050 --> 00:14:14,142 Good. 204 00:14:24,428 --> 00:14:27,192 - How long did he say he would be there? - Not long. 205 00:14:27,298 --> 00:14:30,324 If he's got problems, he's got to fix them. You're not his dad. 206 00:14:30,434 --> 00:14:34,063 I know. I just thought it would be good to do something charitable. 207 00:14:34,171 --> 00:14:36,969 It definitely is charity. At least you admit that. 208 00:14:39,777 --> 00:14:43,008 You feel like a steak? To eat. 209 00:14:43,948 --> 00:14:47,384 I don't want a steak. Let's just grab some tacos on the way to the shop. 210 00:14:47,485 --> 00:14:49,419 - I have some stuff I want to try out. - Okay. 211 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,513 We can get some tacos on the way, or we can get a steak afterwards. 212 00:14:53,624 --> 00:14:56,889 What are you talking about? I'm not paying for a steak. 213 00:15:01,699 --> 00:15:03,223 It's stable? 214 00:15:05,002 --> 00:15:06,902 Aaron, it's stable? 215 00:15:14,845 --> 00:15:17,541 - What did you do to this thing? - What? 216 00:15:17,915 --> 00:15:21,510 - It looks like a dog digested it. - Okay, that's the plate. 217 00:15:22,253 --> 00:15:25,051 I rigged this into the box so I could control the feed. 218 00:15:25,156 --> 00:15:28,250 - I figured it's the easiest way... - It's just controlling the box. 219 00:15:28,359 --> 00:15:32,193 The plate stays the same. What you do is you gradually feed it. 220 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,896 Okay. You hear that? How it's... 221 00:15:39,003 --> 00:15:42,336 See, I'm not touching it anymore. It's growing with its own momentum. 222 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,000 It's like a feedback loop, and it just regulates itself. 223 00:15:45,109 --> 00:15:48,875 And what you do is when it gets there, you bring it back... 224 00:15:49,847 --> 00:15:53,305 and there you go, it coasts. It's stable. It stays like that. 225 00:15:56,086 --> 00:15:57,519 So it works? 226 00:15:58,222 --> 00:16:00,747 - Yeah, it does. - What is that, like 10%? 227 00:16:01,058 --> 00:16:04,221 It knocks another couple of points by the time it reaches the peak. 228 00:16:04,328 --> 00:16:07,354 You may want to come over here and take a look at this. 229 00:16:07,531 --> 00:16:09,123 Okay, what am I looking at? 230 00:16:09,233 --> 00:16:12,532 - What are we pulling out of the batteries? - Probably 24 volts. 231 00:16:12,636 --> 00:16:15,002 - I mean, no more than that, right? - Okay. 232 00:16:15,105 --> 00:16:16,800 So your meter's jacked up. 233 00:16:17,174 --> 00:16:19,620 That's what I figured. So I tried three others. 234 00:16:19,700 --> 00:16:21,098 I got the exact same thing. 235 00:16:21,178 --> 00:16:23,009 - I spent all last night... - What was it? 236 00:16:23,113 --> 00:16:26,844 I spent last night and a two-hour break just double-checking everything. 237 00:16:26,951 --> 00:16:30,944 There's something wrong here. We're not pulling out more than we're putting in. 238 00:16:31,055 --> 00:16:33,285 - Slightly more. - Well, yeah, whatever. 239 00:16:33,390 --> 00:16:36,291 It's not like a volt and a half more than we're putting in. 240 00:16:36,393 --> 00:16:37,817 It's probably the batteries. 241 00:16:37,897 --> 00:16:40,377 They're cheap batteries, not regulated right. 242 00:16:40,598 --> 00:16:42,156 That is weird, though. 243 00:16:45,469 --> 00:16:47,562 You want to see something weirder? 244 00:16:47,872 --> 00:16:51,740 Okay, let's go over this again. Two batteries, right? 24 volts? 245 00:16:52,610 --> 00:16:55,704 What are we pulling out of this one? Just for fun. 246 00:16:58,415 --> 00:16:59,905 Twelve volts. 247 00:17:09,894 --> 00:17:13,421 - How about this one? - Should be 12 volts. 248 00:17:22,206 --> 00:17:24,197 So, what the hell is this thing? 249 00:17:25,409 --> 00:17:27,377 It doesn't stay like that. 250 00:17:28,212 --> 00:17:31,045 No, it winds down in a few minutes. What does that? 251 00:17:36,053 --> 00:17:40,046 I don't know. I'll tell them something. I'll tell them we're spraying for bugs. 252 00:17:40,157 --> 00:17:42,523 It should just be a day or two, anyways. 253 00:17:42,927 --> 00:17:46,920 - Unless you want to bring them in. - No, they have their work in there, too. 254 00:17:47,031 --> 00:17:50,194 If Phillip finds out about that he's going to have to take it apart. 255 00:17:50,301 --> 00:17:54,704 - No. I'm just putting a little tweak on it. - Yeah, I know. No, you're right. 256 00:17:55,306 --> 00:17:58,742 Abe, it's my garage, okay? It's not like they're paying rent. 257 00:17:59,243 --> 00:18:03,339 There was value in the thing. Clearly. Of that they were certain of. 258 00:18:03,447 --> 00:18:05,779 But what is the application? In a matter of hours... 259 00:18:05,883 --> 00:18:09,375 they had pinned it to everything from mass transit to satellite launching. 260 00:18:09,486 --> 00:18:11,681 Imagining devices the size of jumbo jets. 261 00:18:11,789 --> 00:18:14,849 Everything would be cheaper. It was practical and they knew it. 262 00:18:14,959 --> 00:18:17,018 But above all that, beyond the positives... 263 00:18:17,127 --> 00:18:19,288 they knew that the easiest way to be exploited... 264 00:18:19,396 --> 00:18:21,660 is to sell something they did not yet understand. 265 00:18:21,765 --> 00:18:25,223 So they kept quiet. The parties would continue. 266 00:18:25,336 --> 00:18:27,896 Any birthday, anniversary, holiday... 267 00:18:28,005 --> 00:18:31,941 maybe some obscure project launch. It didn't matter. Any reason would do. 268 00:18:32,109 --> 00:18:36,512 What was important is that Thomas Granger, their last best hope of funding, show up. 269 00:18:36,614 --> 00:18:40,983 If he left a little earlier than they would've liked, he couldn't be blamed. 270 00:18:41,085 --> 00:18:44,111 He was only there to please his daughter Rachel. 271 00:18:44,221 --> 00:18:46,781 And she was only there to please Abe. 272 00:18:49,226 --> 00:18:51,285 What did you say to Mr. Granger a while ago? 273 00:18:51,395 --> 00:18:54,159 - Did you flip my burger? - You can't call him Mr. Granger. 274 00:18:54,264 --> 00:18:56,425 You have to call him, like, Thomas or something. 275 00:18:56,533 --> 00:18:59,434 - Go ahead. - No, because he won't take you seriously. 276 00:19:00,638 --> 00:19:03,232 - He thinks we're kids. - If you call him Mr. Granger... 277 00:19:03,340 --> 00:19:05,732 he looks at you like you're a 6-year-old kid. 278 00:19:05,812 --> 00:19:08,098 He does it with me. It won't work anymore. 279 00:19:08,345 --> 00:19:11,974 Abe had taken on the task of quantifying and explaining the device. 280 00:19:12,950 --> 00:19:14,815 But as weeks became months... 281 00:19:14,918 --> 00:19:19,218 their enthusiasm became a slow realization that they were out of their depth. 282 00:20:02,066 --> 00:20:04,364 There he is. I've been calling you all morning. 283 00:20:04,468 --> 00:20:07,494 - Where'd you call? - Your work and your cell. 284 00:20:08,272 --> 00:20:09,739 I'm not there. 285 00:20:10,908 --> 00:20:12,102 Really? 286 00:20:14,078 --> 00:20:17,047 - March Madness? - It's Carolina and Michigan. 287 00:20:17,147 --> 00:20:19,274 - Who's up? - I don't even know what. 288 00:20:20,784 --> 00:20:22,911 Do you have anything important at work today? 289 00:20:23,020 --> 00:20:26,956 I hope you're not implying that any day is unimportant at Cortex Semi. 290 00:20:28,392 --> 00:20:31,759 I was going to come give you this big speech about how we've been... 291 00:20:31,862 --> 00:20:34,831 friends for a long time and built up trust, that whole thing. 292 00:20:34,932 --> 00:20:36,559 But how about this instead? 293 00:20:36,667 --> 00:20:40,865 If you ditch work this afternoon and promise to do the few small things I ask you... 294 00:20:40,971 --> 00:20:43,701 I will in return show you the most important thing... 295 00:20:43,807 --> 00:20:46,469 that any living organism has ever witnessed. 296 00:20:47,511 --> 00:20:50,969 Well, it looks like mustard to me. 297 00:20:51,081 --> 00:20:53,413 I know, but it's a film. It's a protein... 298 00:20:53,517 --> 00:20:56,418 secreted by a fungus called Aspergillus Ticor. 299 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:57,544 He told you that? 300 00:20:57,654 --> 00:21:00,623 No, he knew it was a protein but didn't know where it came from. 301 00:21:00,724 --> 00:21:03,887 All he really did was just take some pictures with their equipment. 302 00:21:03,994 --> 00:21:05,325 Guess where we're going. 303 00:21:05,429 --> 00:21:07,795 - Do you know where Will is? - No, why? 304 00:21:07,898 --> 00:21:10,230 The Ariel meeting is pushed back till Wednesday. 305 00:21:10,334 --> 00:21:13,098 I thought he was waiting around for it. Where are you going? 306 00:21:13,203 --> 00:21:15,433 What do they do with engineers when they turn 40? 307 00:21:15,539 --> 00:21:17,939 - What, Bradshaw? - Exactly. You know what? 308 00:21:18,041 --> 00:21:20,942 I do know where Will is. I'll let him know on my way out. 309 00:21:21,044 --> 00:21:23,274 - Okay. Thanks. - Can you meet me out front? 310 00:21:23,380 --> 00:21:26,474 - You got to drive. - Okay, here. Take my keys. 311 00:21:26,583 --> 00:21:30,781 Okay, if you can, just pretend that this is the first time I came in. 312 00:21:30,921 --> 00:21:34,413 And if you would just tell him exactly what you told me... 313 00:21:35,259 --> 00:21:38,626 - Okay, so what is it? - Protein buildup. 314 00:21:38,729 --> 00:21:42,358 - Okay, can you just tell him? - Protein buildup. 315 00:21:42,866 --> 00:21:45,630 - But what kind? - Some fungus. 316 00:21:45,903 --> 00:21:48,667 - Some fungus. - Where did it come from? 317 00:21:48,839 --> 00:21:51,364 I don't know. You were to take it to the lab. 318 00:21:51,444 --> 00:21:52,730 Yeah, that's next. 319 00:21:52,810 --> 00:21:55,574 - You were in design, weren't you? - Yeah. 320 00:21:55,946 --> 00:21:57,504 How did you get over here? 321 00:21:57,614 --> 00:22:00,811 Do you know what they do with engineers when they turn 40? 322 00:22:01,118 --> 00:22:02,745 They take them out and shoot them. 323 00:22:02,853 --> 00:22:05,822 What the hell, Abe? You could have just shown me the pictures. 324 00:22:05,923 --> 00:22:09,586 - I want you to believe it. - Believe what, the protein? 325 00:22:09,827 --> 00:22:11,488 - I believe you. - Okay, look... 326 00:22:11,595 --> 00:22:15,031 this guy already thinks it's a joke, so he may be a little defensive. 327 00:22:15,132 --> 00:22:17,464 Really? Why would he think that? 328 00:22:30,180 --> 00:22:31,613 Please. 329 00:22:33,584 --> 00:22:35,449 Aspergillus Ticor. 330 00:22:36,053 --> 00:22:38,180 This is a fungus that's everywhere. 331 00:22:38,856 --> 00:22:43,122 It's in our bed, our skin, sometimes even our GI tract. Everywhere. 332 00:22:44,161 --> 00:22:48,530 It's basically the reason you don't leave things in dark, damp, closed-off places. 333 00:22:48,699 --> 00:22:51,463 Thank you. Do you have that sample I brought? 334 00:22:56,740 --> 00:22:59,732 There it is. Terger. T-E-R-G-E-R. 335 00:23:00,944 --> 00:23:04,038 Okay, when I showed you this, tell him what you thought. 336 00:23:06,683 --> 00:23:09,914 - You thought it was a joke, right? - It is a joke. 337 00:23:10,821 --> 00:23:12,846 Right, but how did you know? 338 00:23:15,959 --> 00:23:18,291 Will you show him? Please? 339 00:23:27,404 --> 00:23:30,840 This is how I get protein A out of Aspergillus Ticor. We sweeten it. 340 00:23:30,941 --> 00:23:33,774 We agitate it. We spin it around. We sweeten some more. 341 00:23:33,877 --> 00:23:37,108 - Takes about a month. - To get the same amount I brought in. 342 00:23:38,148 --> 00:23:39,740 To get the same amount I brought in. 343 00:23:39,850 --> 00:23:42,250 So if it's an incubator for fungus, is that valuable? 344 00:23:42,352 --> 00:23:44,149 - That's not what it is. - Then what is it? 345 00:23:44,254 --> 00:23:47,621 There's another way to secrete that much protein. Do it naturally. 346 00:23:47,724 --> 00:23:49,954 But that takes a lot longer. 347 00:23:50,093 --> 00:23:52,640 If it has a little moisture and it's left alone, 348 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,052 it'll start secreting and it'll build up... 349 00:23:55,132 --> 00:23:57,532 - and build up, but it takes a long time. - How long? 350 00:23:57,634 --> 00:24:00,501 - A long time. - More than a few days? Then how long? 351 00:24:00,604 --> 00:24:02,868 To get the same amount of protein that we have... 352 00:24:02,973 --> 00:24:05,271 the amount that I was wiping off every five days... 353 00:24:05,375 --> 00:24:07,570 and five days later it would accumulate... 354 00:24:07,678 --> 00:24:10,340 he says it would take about five to six years. 355 00:24:13,216 --> 00:24:14,740 I don't want to belittle this guy. 356 00:24:14,851 --> 00:24:17,547 So, I said screw it and I put my watch in there. 357 00:24:18,088 --> 00:24:20,215 - And? - I want you to do it. 358 00:24:20,924 --> 00:24:23,757 - Where is it? The box? - I took it back to the shop. 359 00:24:25,829 --> 00:24:29,356 - Wait, digital or old mechanical? - Exactly. I did both. 360 00:24:30,701 --> 00:24:33,101 - And what? - I want you to do it. 361 00:24:35,772 --> 00:24:38,036 We thought that we were degrading gravity, right? 362 00:24:38,141 --> 00:24:40,132 That we were blocking that information. 363 00:24:40,243 --> 00:24:43,872 I think we're doing more than that. I think we're blocking more than that. 364 00:24:43,981 --> 00:24:48,111 When you were controlling the feed, did you notice it was parabolic? 365 00:24:48,385 --> 00:24:51,650 It's important. Parabolas are important. Here, look at this. 366 00:24:52,723 --> 00:24:54,156 I don't know, Abe. 367 00:24:54,257 --> 00:24:56,885 I'm going to start it up and let it run for 60 seconds... 368 00:24:56,994 --> 00:24:59,258 with nothing in it. It's empty this time. 369 00:24:59,363 --> 00:25:00,352 That's 22... 370 00:25:00,464 --> 00:25:03,194 In all the equations that describe motion and heat and entropy. 371 00:25:03,300 --> 00:25:06,827 In all Feynman diagrams what's the one variable that you can turn negative... 372 00:25:06,937 --> 00:25:09,405 and still get rational answers for? It's not mass. 373 00:25:09,506 --> 00:25:12,304 Twenty-two hours, 27 minutes in the box. 374 00:25:12,409 --> 00:25:15,908 - It's odd, it's an odd number. - That's 1,347 minutes. 375 00:25:17,414 --> 00:25:20,941 - 1,347, man, you got that fast. - How did you know it's odd? 376 00:25:21,051 --> 00:25:25,112 Because this is it. This is what's going on. There's an "A" end and a "B" end. 377 00:25:25,222 --> 00:25:28,191 Let's say the A end is 12:00, and the B end is 12:01. 378 00:25:28,291 --> 00:25:31,192 All right? We start the machine with the Weeble at the A end. 379 00:25:31,294 --> 00:25:33,728 - It travels forward... - You got to write this down. 380 00:25:33,830 --> 00:25:36,264 - There's nothing to write down. - I'll write it down. 381 00:25:36,366 --> 00:25:38,425 It travels forward normally towards the B end. 382 00:25:38,535 --> 00:25:40,969 When it gets there, the feed runs down parabolically... 383 00:25:41,071 --> 00:25:44,199 until it should stop, but it curves back around towards the A end. 384 00:25:44,307 --> 00:25:47,470 When it gets back to the A end... Curve that around. The Weeble... 385 00:25:47,577 --> 00:25:50,910 has experienced a total of two minutes, and again it curves... 386 00:25:51,014 --> 00:25:53,141 - Back around. It curves parabolically. - Right. 387 00:25:53,250 --> 00:25:55,878 It comes back around and it does this about 1,300 times. 388 00:25:55,986 --> 00:25:57,715 When it finally exits on the B end... 389 00:25:57,821 --> 00:26:00,654 it's traveled an odd number of forward and backward trips. 390 00:26:00,757 --> 00:26:04,193 What is so special about 1,300? Why is it about 1,300? Why isn't it exact? 391 00:26:04,294 --> 00:26:06,353 - This is not empirical. - Here, give me that. 392 00:26:06,463 --> 00:26:10,263 I don't know why it's not exact. There's some sort of probability there. 393 00:26:10,367 --> 00:26:12,892 Every time it hits the B end there's a chance... 394 00:26:13,003 --> 00:26:15,904 a small chance it won't curve back around towards the A end. 395 00:26:16,006 --> 00:26:19,703 And for some reason, it takes about 1,300 trips before it finally does. 396 00:26:19,810 --> 00:26:23,109 It does have to exit, or else we wouldn't be able to see it afterwards. 397 00:26:23,213 --> 00:26:25,204 Okay, let's take a look at this. 398 00:26:25,882 --> 00:26:28,180 Twenty-two hours, 14 minutes. 399 00:26:32,222 --> 00:26:35,385 - 1,334 minutes. - Even. 400 00:26:37,761 --> 00:26:39,490 Enter at the B end. 401 00:26:41,465 --> 00:26:43,194 Exit at the B end. 402 00:26:46,203 --> 00:26:49,604 - I just want you to see it the way I saw it. - I am trying, okay? 403 00:26:49,706 --> 00:26:52,174 Everything we're putting in that box comes ungrounded. 404 00:26:52,275 --> 00:26:55,039 And I don't mean grounded to the earth, I mean not tethered. 405 00:26:55,145 --> 00:26:58,308 We're blocking whatever keeps it moving forward, so they flip-flop. 406 00:26:58,415 --> 00:27:01,543 Inside the box, it's like a street, and both ends are cul-de-sacs. 407 00:27:01,651 --> 00:27:05,644 This isn't frame dragging or wormhole matching. It's basic mechanics and heat. 408 00:27:05,755 --> 00:27:07,848 This is not mechanics and heat. 409 00:27:12,162 --> 00:27:15,723 - We can publish. - Yeah, we can publish. 410 00:27:15,832 --> 00:27:18,323 No, I mean we can really publish. 411 00:27:19,136 --> 00:27:21,502 Aaron, the Weeble's stupid. It can't move. 412 00:27:21,605 --> 00:27:24,199 Even if we were to put the Weeble in at point B... 413 00:27:24,307 --> 00:27:29,006 it's still going to bounce back and forth until it's kicked out at the B end. 414 00:27:32,616 --> 00:27:34,174 But if it were smart... 415 00:27:36,019 --> 00:27:40,217 it could enter at the B end and exit at the A end before it flips back. 416 00:27:44,227 --> 00:27:48,357 You're talking about making a bigger one. 417 00:27:49,666 --> 00:27:52,999 I didn't say anything. You're the one talking about it. 418 00:27:54,471 --> 00:27:56,029 So, you believe me? 419 00:27:58,108 --> 00:27:59,370 No, I don't. 420 00:27:59,543 --> 00:28:01,909 Come on. Let's go get a drink or something. 421 00:28:06,983 --> 00:28:09,417 - We're going to have to move it. - We will. 422 00:28:12,822 --> 00:28:15,245 We need a box big enough for a person to fit into. As far as turning it on... 423 00:28:15,325 --> 00:28:18,556 I was testing the box. It turns out over half the rings are redundant. 424 00:28:18,662 --> 00:28:22,120 The inner ring is strong enough on its own, so it makes the plate smaller. 425 00:28:22,232 --> 00:28:24,325 A lot more is unnecessary. What we can do... 426 00:28:24,434 --> 00:28:28,734 is take a lot of these small plates and surround a container with a web of them. 427 00:28:30,006 --> 00:28:31,268 How small? 428 00:28:31,508 --> 00:28:35,569 It should be accumulative so a lot of mini-fields equal one big one, right? 429 00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:38,247 Yeah, sum of series, that makes sense. 430 00:28:38,348 --> 00:28:41,784 What I was going to say is we need to find a place where we can put it... 431 00:28:41,885 --> 00:28:43,750 and turn it on and it won't be disturbed. 432 00:28:43,853 --> 00:28:45,946 We could just lock it in a closet. 433 00:28:46,356 --> 00:28:50,087 Someplace where someone's not going to go poking around and messing with it. 434 00:28:50,193 --> 00:28:51,854 And climate-controlled. 435 00:28:52,495 --> 00:28:54,895 Yeah, so whatever, we'll find some place. 436 00:28:55,265 --> 00:28:58,200 So, if we go your route with what? A bunch of mini-fields? 437 00:28:58,301 --> 00:29:02,032 That's a lot of work. We'd have to... I mean, how many days is that? 438 00:29:03,473 --> 00:29:06,670 Abe, you know what we could use? 439 00:29:07,677 --> 00:29:11,113 I know we've seen a lot of crazy things lately, okay? 440 00:29:11,214 --> 00:29:15,150 I know you're still trying to put it all together in a way that makes sense. 441 00:29:15,252 --> 00:29:18,847 Look, I just want you to understand that what's next is not a prank, okay? 442 00:29:18,955 --> 00:29:21,719 I wouldn't do that to you and I'm not doing that to you. 443 00:29:21,825 --> 00:29:26,620 So when you see this, you can't yell or make any noise or run anywhere, ok? 444 00:29:26,700 --> 00:29:30,754 I know you probably feel like you're being tricked or made fun of. But you're not, ok? 445 00:29:30,834 --> 00:29:33,601 I promise you, you're not. Okay? 446 00:30:00,196 --> 00:30:01,561 Who was that, Abe? 447 00:30:26,423 --> 00:30:28,653 Let's just wait. Six minutes. 448 00:31:29,519 --> 00:31:31,680 Look, you sure you're okay to drive? 449 00:31:35,291 --> 00:31:37,953 What did you do all day? The first time through? 450 00:31:41,131 --> 00:31:43,929 I spent the day in a hotel room in Russellfield. 451 00:31:45,769 --> 00:31:49,000 - I'll just meet you back at the shop. - I wonder what I did. 452 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,066 - I guess I went back to work. - Yeah, probably. 453 00:31:54,177 --> 00:31:56,111 Probably just worked, I guess. 454 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,178 Yeah, probably so. 455 00:32:03,486 --> 00:32:06,011 Look, now that I know about this, Abe... 456 00:32:06,623 --> 00:32:09,456 don't do this again, okay? Not where it affects me. 457 00:32:14,097 --> 00:32:15,621 Go ahead. 458 00:32:21,237 --> 00:32:22,670 Hey, Rachel. 459 00:33:05,014 --> 00:33:06,675 Why not the lottery? 460 00:33:07,050 --> 00:33:09,780 We can if you want, but it's not until Saturday. 461 00:33:09,886 --> 00:33:14,414 And even if we win the full $10 million, that's only $200,000 for the next 30 years. 462 00:33:15,391 --> 00:33:18,258 - And that's just one good trade. - A couple days like this. 463 00:33:18,361 --> 00:33:21,762 - I was just running a test. In and out. - I want to do what you did. 464 00:33:21,865 --> 00:33:23,264 Exactly what you did. 465 00:33:23,366 --> 00:33:26,267 - The first thing I did is call in sick. - Okay, I did that. 466 00:33:26,369 --> 00:33:30,237 - Then I drove to the storage facility. - But I need to drop Lauren at school first. 467 00:33:30,340 --> 00:33:32,934 Then meet me there. We're going to need both cars. 468 00:33:33,042 --> 00:33:36,136 We need to park yours down the road, out of sight of the facility. 469 00:33:36,246 --> 00:33:39,147 - Why are we doing that? - Because we need a ride home. 470 00:33:39,249 --> 00:33:40,807 - What is that... - It'll make sense. 471 00:33:40,917 --> 00:33:43,112 Okay, I'll be patient. 472 00:33:43,219 --> 00:33:46,711 When I got to the storage room, I flooded the box with argon... 473 00:33:46,823 --> 00:33:50,554 and I had to tighten it up to secure the leaks. 474 00:33:51,027 --> 00:33:53,552 - There's leaks? - There's always leaks. 475 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,996 At 8:30 a.m., I set the timer for 15 minutes... 476 00:34:02,105 --> 00:34:05,506 I jumped in the car, and drove to Russellfield. 477 00:34:05,708 --> 00:34:06,868 Okay, I lost it. 478 00:34:06,976 --> 00:34:09,638 - What? - Why the timer? 479 00:34:10,013 --> 00:34:13,881 Because the moment we start those machines is the moment we'll end up... 480 00:34:13,983 --> 00:34:16,713 - getting out of them, and- - Right. Got it. Sorry. 481 00:34:16,819 --> 00:34:19,515 I don't want to be standing around when they do. 482 00:34:20,557 --> 00:34:24,960 While I was on the road at 8:45, the machine kicked on by itself... 483 00:34:25,995 --> 00:34:29,123 and by 8:49, it was completely warmed up. 484 00:34:36,906 --> 00:34:41,502 In Russellfield, I got a hotel room and tried to isolate myself. 485 00:34:42,211 --> 00:34:43,974 Wait, what do you mean "isolate"? 486 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,776 I closed the windows, I unplugged everything in the room... 487 00:34:46,883 --> 00:34:48,851 the telephone, TV, clock, radio, everything. 488 00:34:48,952 --> 00:34:51,944 I didn't want to take the chance of running into someone I knew... 489 00:34:52,055 --> 00:34:54,023 or seeing something on the news that might... 490 00:34:54,123 --> 00:34:58,025 If we're dealing with causality, and I don't even know for sure. 491 00:34:58,127 --> 00:35:00,322 - I just... - What? 492 00:35:00,730 --> 00:35:03,893 - Took myself out of the equation. - Err on the side of caution. 493 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,092 Yes. 494 00:35:06,603 --> 00:35:08,730 Then what did you do all day? 495 00:35:11,808 --> 00:35:15,471 - I just sat there. I had some books, but... - What? Were you nervous? 496 00:35:15,578 --> 00:35:18,706 Yeah. It's mind-numbing, all the second-guessing. 497 00:35:23,653 --> 00:35:25,086 "Evacipate." 498 00:35:30,226 --> 00:35:33,753 At 3:30 p.m., I stopped by Williams Medical Supply. 499 00:35:33,863 --> 00:35:35,956 Picked up a Class E oxygen tank and mask. 500 00:35:36,065 --> 00:35:39,728 I called my mutual fund company and asked which stock in their mid-cap fund... 501 00:35:39,836 --> 00:35:41,736 had the greatest percentage gain that day. 502 00:35:41,838 --> 00:35:44,807 The idea was just to get enough information for one good trade. 503 00:35:44,907 --> 00:35:47,603 Can we just download chart data and trade on each movement? 504 00:35:47,710 --> 00:35:52,147 But if we do that, I want to use the library in Russellfield, use their computers. 505 00:36:06,195 --> 00:36:10,359 So, I got to the storage room at about 3:15 and cut off the power to the box. 506 00:36:11,267 --> 00:36:14,134 It cycled down to a tolerable level at about 3:19. 507 00:36:14,303 --> 00:36:17,363 The trick is to get in after it reaches a comfortable level... 508 00:36:17,473 --> 00:36:20,772 but before it shuts off completely. There's a window there. 509 00:36:20,943 --> 00:36:22,877 So, does it hurt? 510 00:36:24,313 --> 00:36:26,008 Yeah, it does a little. 511 00:36:26,382 --> 00:36:30,011 It's not bad if you wait for the right time. It's like a small static shock. 512 00:36:30,119 --> 00:36:32,679 - Once you're in, you're fine, though. - What? 513 00:36:33,022 --> 00:36:36,219 I know you've done it, and I can only assume that you don't have... 514 00:36:36,325 --> 00:36:38,293 cancer or male impotence. 515 00:36:38,394 --> 00:36:41,090 But what is your opinion on how safe this thing is? 516 00:36:41,197 --> 00:36:43,563 I can imagine no way in which this thing would be... 517 00:36:43,666 --> 00:36:45,793 considered anywhere remotely close to safe. 518 00:36:45,902 --> 00:36:49,394 All I know is I spent six hours in there and I'm still alive. 519 00:36:52,008 --> 00:36:53,908 You still want to do it? 520 00:37:10,827 --> 00:37:13,591 I set the alarm on my stopwatch for six hours. 521 00:37:13,696 --> 00:37:17,792 I regulated the O2 tank, took some Dramamine, and tried to sleep. 522 00:37:18,468 --> 00:37:19,730 Did you? 523 00:37:20,002 --> 00:37:21,902 - What? - Did you sleep? 524 00:37:22,405 --> 00:37:26,341 Not at first. I've never considered myself claustrophobic... 525 00:37:26,442 --> 00:37:30,572 but I started sweating and I couldn't find the right flow rate on the tank... 526 00:37:31,047 --> 00:37:35,108 and I was breathing differently than I was when I was testing it on the outside. 527 00:37:35,218 --> 00:37:37,618 Eventually, I settled down, and... 528 00:37:37,987 --> 00:37:41,946 I don't know, maybe it was the Dramamine kicking in, but I remember this moment... 529 00:37:42,058 --> 00:37:44,856 in the dark with the reverberation of the machine. 530 00:37:45,428 --> 00:37:48,397 It was maybe the most content I've ever been. 531 00:37:51,134 --> 00:37:53,500 I woke up on my own without the alarm... 532 00:37:53,603 --> 00:37:57,095 and waited for the machine to cool down. Cool down from my perspective. 533 00:37:57,206 --> 00:38:00,073 It got to a point where it sounded safe to get out... 534 00:38:00,176 --> 00:38:02,736 but the stopwatch still showed a couple minutes... 535 00:38:02,845 --> 00:38:05,211 so I trusted the math and waited. 536 00:38:41,384 --> 00:38:45,081 That's not a static shock, Abe. Okay, please stop it. 537 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,089 You got out too soon. 538 00:38:54,530 --> 00:38:58,557 You have to wait for the stopwatch so that you know the gain is low enough. 539 00:38:58,968 --> 00:39:00,663 So, we're back here? 540 00:39:01,103 --> 00:39:04,664 Yeah, we're here. It's 8:50, Tuesday morning. 541 00:39:08,778 --> 00:39:10,837 All right. Give me a few minutes. 542 00:39:13,916 --> 00:39:17,443 From there it was easy. The bulk of the work was done. 543 00:39:17,553 --> 00:39:20,886 I just left everything the way I found it. I left the machine alone... 544 00:39:20,990 --> 00:39:23,959 and didn't turn it off, and just cleared out of there. 545 00:39:24,060 --> 00:39:28,497 So your double would find everything the same later that day and get in the box? 546 00:39:28,598 --> 00:39:33,126 Right, but also, I or my double or someone was in the box coming backwards. 547 00:39:33,236 --> 00:39:36,467 So who knows what that would've done if I'd turned the machine off. 548 00:39:36,572 --> 00:39:39,063 Definitely. So, they're one-time use only. 549 00:39:39,175 --> 00:39:43,578 So then, at that moment, since my double was on the way to the hotel in my car... 550 00:39:43,679 --> 00:39:47,706 I had to take a taxi home. But when we go, we'll be able to use your truck. 551 00:40:08,070 --> 00:40:11,733 - You have a margin account, right? - Yeah. I do now. What are we buying? 552 00:40:11,841 --> 00:40:15,743 Good. Today, before 12:30, we'll buy as many shares as we can of RGWU. 553 00:40:17,813 --> 00:40:21,510 They'll say their earnings that quarter are three and a half times consensus... 554 00:40:21,617 --> 00:40:24,609 and the stock will nearly double in afternoon trading. 555 00:40:26,522 --> 00:40:28,649 - What do they do? - What do you mean? 556 00:40:28,791 --> 00:40:31,055 What does this company do? Do they make things or... 557 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,754 I don't know. All that matters is the price goes up. 558 00:40:33,863 --> 00:40:38,562 The volume is so high that the number of shares we trade won't affect the price. 559 00:40:41,304 --> 00:40:43,431 You really don't know what they do? 560 00:40:49,011 --> 00:40:52,811 That's why you spoke about a mid-cap fund, so volume is high enough to hide us. 561 00:40:52,915 --> 00:40:55,008 - Do you think it's too cautious? - I don't know. 562 00:40:55,117 --> 00:40:57,312 I know there's a lot of other stocks out there... 563 00:40:57,420 --> 00:41:00,617 that do a lot more than double, but this is my first day. 564 00:41:38,260 --> 00:41:40,091 - My God. - She's not going to answer. 565 00:41:40,262 --> 00:41:41,957 I know, Abe. That's the question. 566 00:41:43,099 --> 00:41:47,092 I know, so what's the answer? You've got the $400 billion... 567 00:41:47,203 --> 00:41:50,798 you've gone the charity route, you have this perfect 100-room mansion... 568 00:41:50,906 --> 00:41:53,272 with matching his and her yachts and helicopter pads. 569 00:41:53,376 --> 00:41:56,345 Basically, you have absolute impunity to do whatever you want... 570 00:41:56,445 --> 00:41:57,434 nobody can touch you. 571 00:41:57,546 --> 00:41:59,605 - You're back from a two-year... - Above the law. 572 00:41:59,715 --> 00:42:04,584 Absolutely, well above. You're fresh back from this two-year world-galloping vacation. 573 00:42:04,687 --> 00:42:06,746 How do you fill your day? What do you do? 574 00:42:06,856 --> 00:42:09,977 Abe, I know that's the question, but it's not a real question, 575 00:42:10,057 --> 00:42:11,313 so why does it matter? 576 00:42:11,393 --> 00:42:12,792 So what's the answer? 577 00:42:12,895 --> 00:42:16,829 Babe, he knows that's the question, okay? He's asking you the question. 578 00:42:17,033 --> 00:42:20,594 What do you mean? What would I do with my life or what would I do tomorrow? 579 00:42:20,703 --> 00:42:21,965 My God, either. 580 00:42:23,672 --> 00:42:27,665 I'd have to do something constructive. I'd have to do something that would help... 581 00:42:27,777 --> 00:42:31,440 - something that would make me feel good. - I know. That's fantastic. Good. 582 00:42:31,547 --> 00:42:36,416 - My wife. So good. So pure. You are pure. - Shut up. Why did you ask, then? 583 00:42:36,652 --> 00:42:40,850 This is what I would do: I would wake up tomorrow morning... 584 00:42:40,956 --> 00:42:43,390 and I'd go over to Gabriel Capital Inc... 585 00:42:43,492 --> 00:42:47,258 and I would tell Joseph Platts' receptionist that I'm there to see him... 586 00:42:47,363 --> 00:42:49,058 and when he comes out... 587 00:42:50,566 --> 00:42:53,399 I would ram my fist through the flat of his nose. 588 00:42:54,370 --> 00:42:58,363 Just one good punch, one good pow. 589 00:42:59,909 --> 00:43:03,106 - That's amazing. It's about time. - That is so great. 590 00:43:03,212 --> 00:43:05,908 Where did this come from? You're always defending the guy. 591 00:43:06,015 --> 00:43:08,575 - It's unnatural. - I'd only do it if I knew that... 592 00:43:08,684 --> 00:43:10,413 no one would find out or get hurt. 593 00:43:10,519 --> 00:43:13,886 Like, I wish that there was a way that I could do it... 594 00:43:13,989 --> 00:43:15,820 and then I go back and tell myself not to. 595 00:43:15,925 --> 00:43:19,019 Because I just want to know what it feels like. That's all, really. 596 00:43:19,128 --> 00:43:20,322 I'm so proud. 597 00:43:20,696 --> 00:43:24,223 Finally, my husband, the hero. 598 00:43:30,473 --> 00:43:33,670 - We can't do that. - I know. 599 00:43:34,043 --> 00:43:35,738 Did you call pest control? 600 00:43:36,545 --> 00:43:40,379 Babe, they're birds. You don't want a bunch of dead baby birds up there, do you? 601 00:43:40,483 --> 00:43:44,510 - They don't sound like birds. - She thinks there are rats in the attic. 602 00:43:45,521 --> 00:43:47,512 But the idea had been spoken... 603 00:43:47,623 --> 00:43:50,751 and the words wouldn't go back after they had been uttered aloud. 604 00:43:50,860 --> 00:43:52,452 So you are understanding this, right? 605 00:43:52,561 --> 00:43:55,086 You don't have to sell me on not doing this, okay? 606 00:43:55,197 --> 00:43:58,223 - I don't think I told you... - Even if you do stop yourself... 607 00:43:58,334 --> 00:44:01,895 your double, from hitting Platts, why would he, your double, get in the box? 608 00:44:02,004 --> 00:44:05,462 And with no need for it, no possible real-world application... 609 00:44:05,774 --> 00:44:09,232 no advantage at all to be gained from it, the idea stayed. 610 00:44:09,879 --> 00:44:13,337 - How would you do it? - I wouldn't. 611 00:44:13,782 --> 00:44:16,273 - Just for fun. - I still wouldn't. 612 00:44:16,385 --> 00:44:19,218 - But what if there was a way to... - Look, Abe, look. 613 00:44:19,688 --> 00:44:22,816 I'm not going to pretend like I know anything about paradoxes... 614 00:44:22,925 --> 00:44:26,326 or what follows them, and honestly, I really don't believe in that crap. 615 00:44:26,428 --> 00:44:30,228 Kill your mom before you were born, whatever. It has to work itself out somehow. 616 00:44:30,332 --> 00:44:32,459 - I don't know. - This is what I know for sure. 617 00:44:32,568 --> 00:44:36,629 The worst thing in the world is to know that the moment you are experiencing... 618 00:44:36,739 --> 00:44:39,537 has already been defined, that this is the second... 619 00:44:39,642 --> 00:44:43,544 or third time through, or whatever. And do you ever feel like... 620 00:44:44,613 --> 00:44:48,379 I don't know, maybe things aren't right, like maybe your life is in disarray... 621 00:44:48,484 --> 00:44:52,648 or just not what you would like and you start to wonder what caused this. 622 00:44:53,856 --> 00:44:55,983 People are always blaming their parents... 623 00:44:56,091 --> 00:44:59,390 as if, if their mom had breastfed them, their lives would be different. 624 00:44:59,495 --> 00:45:00,655 Bunch of whiners. 625 00:45:00,763 --> 00:45:03,926 Yeah, they are. But what if it wasn't something you wonder about? 626 00:45:04,033 --> 00:45:07,025 What if you knew this is not the way things are supposed to be? 627 00:45:07,136 --> 00:45:11,266 I'm not like that. I'm not into the whole "destiny, there's-only-one-right-way" thing. 628 00:45:11,373 --> 00:45:13,273 I'm not, either. But what's worse? 629 00:45:13,375 --> 00:45:16,469 Thinking you're being paranoid or knowing you should be? 630 00:45:22,384 --> 00:45:25,148 You don't have to look at me like that. I'm okay. 631 00:45:31,327 --> 00:45:34,125 No, I just assumed that you would. I trust her. 632 00:45:34,230 --> 00:45:38,030 - I know that when I decided to tell you... - Decided to tell? 633 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,375 I knew that you are married and that there's no secrets. 634 00:45:41,455 --> 00:45:43,259 Anything I tell you, she'll know. 635 00:45:43,339 --> 00:45:44,894 - It's not a matter of trust. - I know. 636 00:45:44,974 --> 00:45:47,602 It's just how much better will it be if in a few days... 637 00:45:47,710 --> 00:45:51,168 I surprise her and we all just fly to Costa Rica or somewhere for a month? 638 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,807 We'll let her understand it gradually. Maybe do some real estate shopping... 639 00:45:54,917 --> 00:45:57,818 For now, you can tell her you had a good day in the market. 640 00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,020 - You don't understand. - No. 641 00:45:59,100 --> 00:46:01,568 You don't understand the questions that come with that. 642 00:46:01,657 --> 00:46:04,182 But we'll explain it to her, and we'll take some time... 643 00:46:04,293 --> 00:46:05,487 to figure out what's next... 644 00:46:05,594 --> 00:46:09,155 which, I think, should be building a bigger box, like the size of a room... 645 00:46:09,265 --> 00:46:11,096 where more than one person could fit in. 646 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,328 Safe or not, the thing feels like a coffin the way it is. 647 00:46:15,070 --> 00:46:16,833 By the way, this is our guy. 648 00:46:17,940 --> 00:46:21,706 - What's the volume? - Five-and-a-half. 649 00:46:22,311 --> 00:46:24,939 What's the return? Holy... 650 00:46:27,783 --> 00:46:32,049 No, I can't beat that. But mainly, I guess I was just talking about Robert and Phillip. 651 00:46:32,154 --> 00:46:33,348 I don't want to tell them. 652 00:46:33,455 --> 00:46:35,719 I know they have a lot invested in the group... 653 00:46:35,824 --> 00:46:37,189 I don't want to tell them. 654 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,524 If you need me to take the guilt on this one, fine, okay? 655 00:46:40,629 --> 00:46:42,392 I accept it gladly. It's mine. 656 00:46:42,498 --> 00:46:45,160 At the end of this week, they can have whatever they want. 657 00:46:45,267 --> 00:46:48,532 I'll turn over patent rights on everything from the last two years. 658 00:46:48,637 --> 00:46:51,003 They can have the equipment, the garage, the house. 659 00:46:51,106 --> 00:46:53,973 They can have my truck if that makes you feel better. 660 00:46:54,076 --> 00:46:57,170 But I am not telling them a thing about this. We're not. 661 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,190 God, everything is so different in there. 662 00:47:14,296 --> 00:47:16,355 You can feel how cut off you are. 663 00:47:16,699 --> 00:47:19,668 It's this entirely separate world and you encompass most of it. 664 00:47:19,768 --> 00:47:23,226 And the sound. Isn't the sound different on the inside? 665 00:47:23,405 --> 00:47:26,738 It's like it's singing. I guess you can't hear it on the outside... 666 00:47:26,842 --> 00:47:30,369 - I had this dream in there. - About what? 667 00:47:32,247 --> 00:47:36,911 I was on or near the ocean, and I just kept hearing the surf. 668 00:47:37,419 --> 00:47:38,909 It was so uneventful. 669 00:47:39,722 --> 00:47:42,691 At night. And the tide kept coming in and out. 670 00:47:55,471 --> 00:47:58,235 Come here for a second, man. What's on your hand? 671 00:47:58,807 --> 00:48:00,604 - Are you bleeding? - That is blood. 672 00:48:00,709 --> 00:48:02,267 - Turn around. - You see it? 673 00:48:02,378 --> 00:48:04,778 Where is it coming from? It's your notebook. 674 00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,974 - It's you. My gosh, it's on your ear. - What is this? 675 00:48:08,317 --> 00:48:11,616 - Your ear's bleeding. Man. - Give me that. I got it. 676 00:48:15,224 --> 00:48:18,159 - Is that normal? This isn't normal. - For the machine? 677 00:48:18,994 --> 00:48:22,327 For people. You think it's the machine? I got it. 678 00:48:40,382 --> 00:48:42,441 Great. I can actually get some work done today. 679 00:48:42,551 --> 00:48:43,916 Hi, guys, what's going on? 680 00:48:44,019 --> 00:48:46,852 I always seem to get a lot more done when I'm not locked out. 681 00:48:46,955 --> 00:48:48,388 He says they had to spray again. 682 00:48:48,490 --> 00:48:51,459 But he can't tell us about it in advance. Is Hero even here? 683 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,892 You never see anything around here but those geckos. 684 00:48:53,996 --> 00:48:55,623 - I know. - I think it's for the geckos. 685 00:48:55,731 --> 00:48:57,096 - What? - Why? 686 00:48:57,266 --> 00:49:00,497 - Hey, man, thanks for the present. - How is that working out for you? 687 00:49:00,602 --> 00:49:04,333 You know what? You guys, both of you, you make fun, but there is a difference. 688 00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:05,702 Wait. What did you call him? 689 00:49:05,808 --> 00:49:07,867 - What? - When you walked in? What did you say? 690 00:49:07,976 --> 00:49:09,443 - He didn't tell you about it? - No. 691 00:49:09,545 --> 00:49:13,675 All right. Rachel's ex-boyfriend walks into my birthday party with a shotgun. 692 00:49:13,782 --> 00:49:15,215 - What? - Swear to God. 693 00:49:15,317 --> 00:49:17,114 I've already gotten that speech from Kara. 694 00:49:17,219 --> 00:49:19,585 - Filby! - You'll get it.
