1 00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:36,291 Here's what's going to happen. I'm going to read this... 2 00:00:36,603 --> 00:00:39,697 and you're going to listen, and you're going to stay on the line. 3 00:00:39,806 --> 00:00:43,401 You're not going to interrupt. You're not going to speak for any reason. 4 00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:47,276 Now, some of this you know. I'm going to start at the top of the page. 5 00:00:49,916 --> 00:00:54,216 Meticulous, yes. Methodical. Educated. 6 00:00:54,321 --> 00:00:56,289 They were these things. 7 00:00:56,389 --> 00:00:58,914 Nothing extreme. Like anyone, they varied. 8 00:00:59,025 --> 00:01:03,189 There were days of mistakes and laziness and infighting. 9 00:01:03,697 --> 00:01:07,565 And there were days, good days, when by anyone's judgment... 10 00:01:07,901 --> 00:01:10,267 they would have to be considered clever. 11 00:01:10,437 --> 00:01:13,668 No one would say that what they were doing was complicated. 12 00:01:13,974 --> 00:01:18,343 It wouldn't even be considered new. Except maybe in the geological sense. 13 00:01:18,712 --> 00:01:21,408 They took from their surroundings what was needed... 14 00:01:21,514 --> 00:01:23,175 and made of it something more. 15 00:01:23,283 --> 00:01:26,912 - We haven't even set up an appointment. - What order date did you put on this? 16 00:01:27,020 --> 00:01:30,183 - The 28th. Why? - I don't know... Yeah, I'm putting 28th. 17 00:01:30,290 --> 00:01:34,556 Have you thought any more about what you want to put forward? 18 00:01:36,296 --> 00:01:38,662 - Not really. - Because I was... 19 00:01:38,765 --> 00:01:41,461 I mean I haven't changed my mind or anything. 20 00:01:41,568 --> 00:01:45,504 Phillip and I were talking, and we think it could be good. It'd be fun. 21 00:01:48,341 --> 00:01:50,104 Nobody's saying it wouldn't be fun. 22 00:01:50,210 --> 00:01:54,271 The time for jacking around with Tesla coils and ball lightning in the garage is over. 23 00:01:54,381 --> 00:01:56,975 Maybe you should try it on your own in your free time. 24 00:01:57,083 --> 00:02:00,143 My free time? The free time after the 50 hours a week at work... 25 00:02:00,253 --> 00:02:04,246 or after the 30 hours of free time I already spend in that garage? 26 00:02:04,657 --> 00:02:06,648 And it's not a Tesla coil. 27 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,320 I could save a few minutes a day by eating on the toilet. 28 00:02:09,429 --> 00:02:12,125 How many patents do we have? In the last 14 months? 29 00:02:12,232 --> 00:02:15,133 - Did you sign the agreement? - Nobody signed the agreement. 30 00:02:15,235 --> 00:02:17,362 Doesn't matter, we're sticking to the agreement. 31 00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:20,598 Name one thing out of that garage that's remotely profitable. 32 00:02:20,707 --> 00:02:24,040 I don't see anybody quitting their jobs because of it. Are you? 33 00:02:24,144 --> 00:02:26,806 Abe just means that right now the JTAG cards are it. 34 00:02:26,913 --> 00:02:31,213 When you look at the addresses, we have a lot of apartments. A lot of residences. 35 00:02:31,317 --> 00:02:34,343 But these are not the bulk orders to the OEMs or retail giants. 36 00:02:34,454 --> 00:02:36,649 - These are the quiet basement... - Hackers. 37 00:02:36,756 --> 00:02:40,192 Yeah, hacker wannabes testing their dads' old motherboards. 38 00:02:41,428 --> 00:02:45,364 And I know that a lot of that is my fault, admittedly, you know. 39 00:02:45,598 --> 00:02:47,038 With everything last year, 40 00:02:47,064 --> 00:02:49,889 and the doubletalk we were getting from Platts... 41 00:02:49,969 --> 00:02:53,632 - and all the stuff we won't get into now... - We should get into it. 42 00:02:54,507 --> 00:02:55,997 I'm sorry. What? 43 00:02:57,744 --> 00:02:59,541 Go ahead. Tell him. 44 00:03:00,947 --> 00:03:03,472 We should get into it. I talked to my brother today. 45 00:03:03,583 --> 00:03:06,143 He knows of two other cases like that at his firm. 46 00:03:06,252 --> 00:03:08,307 Let Platts know that we're talking about it. 47 00:03:08,333 --> 00:03:09,574 Look, forget Platts. 48 00:03:09,656 --> 00:03:13,148 This has got to be about what has the best chance of going to market... 49 00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:15,389 and what is going to get us VC attention. 50 00:03:15,495 --> 00:03:18,862 Look, I stuck by you guys when it was your turn. 51 00:03:18,965 --> 00:03:21,763 And I wasn't 100% sure of what we were doing... 52 00:03:21,868 --> 00:03:24,166 or even if I didn't agree, maybe. 53 00:03:25,405 --> 00:03:27,532 But if it's my turn... 54 00:03:27,774 --> 00:03:31,505 if we're still playing by the rules, then this is what I want to try. 55 00:03:34,714 --> 00:03:37,046 Here, take it. They said it wouldn't hold a freeze. 56 00:03:37,150 --> 00:03:39,277 Robert, please. It's not going to hold. 57 00:03:39,385 --> 00:03:42,650 - It's going to go bad in my car. - It'll go bad here. Okay, thanks. 58 00:03:42,755 --> 00:03:44,450 - Good night, all. - See you. 59 00:03:47,127 --> 00:03:50,790 - We just got done giving this huge speech... - We gave the speech? 60 00:03:50,897 --> 00:03:52,922 We just got done. It was five minutes ago. 61 00:03:53,032 --> 00:03:57,799 I'm the one that forced the issue. They're onto us because I suck as the bad cop. 62 00:03:57,904 --> 00:04:01,271 - You should do it. You could fake it better. - I don't know about that. 63 00:04:01,374 --> 00:04:04,741 As long as we're going down this road where it's eighth grade physics... 64 00:04:04,844 --> 00:04:08,302 and happy fun time out in that garage, I think we could stand to try this. 65 00:04:08,414 --> 00:04:11,440 Phillip and Robert are gung ho on theirs, and that's fine. 66 00:04:11,551 --> 00:04:13,849 But you know I have no interest in that. 67 00:04:13,953 --> 00:04:16,285 I know you have no interest, besides the fact... 68 00:04:16,389 --> 00:04:20,223 that Phillip and Robert don't even need us. They just want to use the equipment. 69 00:04:20,326 --> 00:04:22,658 For what I want to do? We don't need them. 70 00:04:22,762 --> 00:04:25,560 Not even Phillip, because it doesn't need software. 71 00:04:26,299 --> 00:04:29,132 - Is she asleep? - No, and she needs a bath. 72 00:04:29,536 --> 00:04:32,903 - She'll wind up in the closet if I do it. - That's fine. 73 00:04:33,806 --> 00:04:36,639 You know, even if Robert's okay with it, and he won't be. 74 00:04:36,743 --> 00:04:41,146 - I don't understand what that thing will do. - We'll let them go at it for two months. 75 00:04:41,247 --> 00:04:43,943 - They do theirs, we do ours. - They said it'd take 14 hours. 76 00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:46,143 Don't eat that. Seriously, it's bad. 77 00:04:46,252 --> 00:04:48,720 We threw the first couple of batches out. The filter. 78 00:04:48,821 --> 00:04:50,516 What about crushed? 79 00:04:51,925 --> 00:04:53,449 These guys are funded. 80 00:04:53,726 --> 00:04:56,889 - These guys are... What? - Liquid helium. These guys are funded. 81 00:04:56,996 --> 00:04:58,623 That's what this is. 82 00:04:58,731 --> 00:05:01,063 That's the whole difference. That's what the box is. 83 00:05:01,167 --> 00:05:04,295 We don't have to play the game where we're going back and forth... 84 00:05:04,404 --> 00:05:08,340 coming up with innovative ways to make it colder and unusable in the process. 85 00:05:08,441 --> 00:05:11,604 - Aaron, I need the hexagonal set. - This is unmarketable. 86 00:05:11,711 --> 00:05:14,407 By coming at it from the back end, rather than changing... 87 00:05:14,514 --> 00:05:17,677 the surrounding temperature, we'll change the level it'll conduct... 88 00:05:17,784 --> 00:05:20,617 the transition temperature. And by bombarding these edges... 89 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,917 They're dropping the ceramic, the temperature lower and lower. 90 00:05:24,023 --> 00:05:27,823 It makes the ceramic less resistant and knocks out the interior magnetic field. 91 00:05:27,927 --> 00:05:30,657 What I'm saying is we drop the box down on it. 92 00:05:31,231 --> 00:05:34,564 Focus our own magnetic field to negate, knock out with the inverse... 93 00:05:34,667 --> 00:05:36,532 what's going on inside the ceramic. 94 00:05:36,636 --> 00:05:40,663 That should change the transition temperature to something we can work with. 95 00:05:40,773 --> 00:05:44,209 - What are we saying that is? - Hopefully, near room temperature. 96 00:05:45,478 --> 00:05:48,174 What is that about? The best mathematician is a lazy one? 97 00:05:48,281 --> 00:05:51,011 - What did you ask for? - I asked. I need the hexagonal set. 98 00:05:51,117 --> 00:05:52,778 - What did you call it? - Just come on. 99 00:05:52,885 --> 00:05:54,648 - Are these Type One? - The superconductors? 100 00:05:54,754 --> 00:05:56,415 Yeah, they're Type One. 101 00:05:56,522 --> 00:05:58,149 Is that going to be a problem? 102 00:05:58,258 --> 00:06:01,125 There's plenty lying around at work, but they're all bar coded. 103 00:06:01,227 --> 00:06:04,822 - If I have to, I'll buy the kits. - What are you doing about the source? 104 00:06:04,931 --> 00:06:06,262 What? 105 00:06:06,966 --> 00:06:09,901 - I can get them. - You can... Are you sure? 106 00:06:10,003 --> 00:06:11,800 I thought you didn't like this idea. 107 00:06:11,904 --> 00:06:14,873 Buy them if you have to. Everything else we can take care of. 108 00:06:14,974 --> 00:06:16,339 What about the source here? 109 00:06:16,442 --> 00:06:18,967 You know that story about how NASA spent millions... 110 00:06:19,078 --> 00:06:22,878 developing this pen that writes in zero-G? Did you ever read that? 111 00:06:22,982 --> 00:06:26,418 - And how Russia solved the problem? - Yeah, they used a pencil. 112 00:06:26,719 --> 00:06:28,619 Right, a normal wooden pencil. 113 00:06:29,489 --> 00:06:32,617 It just seems like Phillip takes the NASA route almost every time. 114 00:06:32,725 --> 00:06:35,387 - Palladium? - You've got their diagram, what does it say? 115 00:06:35,495 --> 00:06:37,429 They use a ratio of platinum and palladium. 116 00:06:37,530 --> 00:06:39,498 That's not necessary with the changes I made. 117 00:06:39,599 --> 00:06:41,863 They're just showing off. If you have it, use it. 118 00:06:41,968 --> 00:06:43,435 I want to get a replacement router. 119 00:06:43,536 --> 00:06:46,630 - I'm putting down four ounces of palladium. - Did Robert look at it? 120 00:06:46,739 --> 00:06:48,502 - I already got his. - I can't fix it. 121 00:06:48,608 --> 00:06:52,271 - Okay. Where are you getting it? - Wal-Mart. It's $50. 122 00:06:52,612 --> 00:06:55,274 - Okay. Can you get a receipt, please? - Yeah. 123 00:06:55,381 --> 00:06:57,611 Wait, platinum or palladium is less resistant? 124 00:06:57,717 --> 00:06:59,776 - Abe? It's not a... - Yeah, I don't care. 125 00:06:59,886 --> 00:07:02,377 - So resistance doesn't matter. - I need an aye or a yes. 126 00:07:02,488 --> 00:07:04,513 - Did you jiggle the... - The collet nut? 127 00:07:04,624 --> 00:07:07,354 - Robert did it. - Well, yes. I guess. 128 00:07:07,894 --> 00:07:11,295 - Well, then, which is cheaper? - You're not going to buy it, are you? 129 00:07:11,397 --> 00:07:14,764 Well, unless you've got a few grams of palladium lying around. 130 00:07:15,301 --> 00:07:18,031 Why would they put it in there if you didn't need it? 131 00:07:18,137 --> 00:07:20,196 One catalytic converter. It's fine. 132 00:07:20,306 --> 00:07:22,968 Remember to put it back. Your emission just went up 300%. 133 00:07:23,076 --> 00:07:24,976 - Is there enough in here? - Yeah, should be. 134 00:07:25,078 --> 00:07:28,946 If not, we'll pull the one out of my truck. Okay, copper tubing. 135 00:07:36,456 --> 00:07:39,721 - This will be out of commission, right? - Without the tubing? 136 00:07:40,660 --> 00:07:43,891 - We can use the Freon, too. - No, it's going to be room temperature. 137 00:07:43,996 --> 00:07:45,054 I know, just in case. 138 00:07:45,164 --> 00:07:49,191 No, wait. Stop. I'll just buy the tubing. This isn't saving us money. 139 00:07:55,108 --> 00:07:58,168 - Jay? Hey, man. How are you? - Good. 140 00:08:19,832 --> 00:08:21,993 Should we be wearing goggles? 141 00:08:24,370 --> 00:08:26,565 - Should we be wearing goggles? - What? 142 00:08:26,672 --> 00:08:28,936 Goggles. Should we be wearing goggles? 143 00:08:36,249 --> 00:08:38,683 Wait. Phillip, you don't want to come out here. 144 00:08:38,785 --> 00:08:40,980 Phillip, grab a mask, okay? 145 00:09:21,828 --> 00:09:24,296 It is, though, right? It's not just me? 146 00:09:24,397 --> 00:09:27,780 No, it's definitely smaller, but it just seems that way. 147 00:09:27,806 --> 00:09:29,452 Take what they have. 148 00:09:29,735 --> 00:09:32,169 Minus the coolant which we don't need. 149 00:09:32,672 --> 00:09:34,765 The rest of it is the mercury bath... 150 00:09:34,874 --> 00:09:39,140 which you would know better than I do, but they're probably just showing off. 151 00:09:39,846 --> 00:09:44,044 I mean, you have it, you got to use it, right? 152 00:09:44,951 --> 00:09:47,351 - What? Does it hurt? - No, I didn't feel anything. 153 00:09:47,453 --> 00:09:49,751 That sound is just weirding me out. 154 00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:57,453 - What does it feel like? - I don't know. 155 00:09:57,563 --> 00:09:59,724 I don't know if I'm making it up. 156 00:10:00,933 --> 00:10:02,195 Here. 157 00:10:16,549 --> 00:10:19,347 - Next part. Let's do the next part. - Yeah. 158 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,693 Isn't there some sort of glass or a transparent... 159 00:10:30,796 --> 00:10:33,356 Anything we can use as a window? Pyrex? 160 00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:35,093 - Yeah, I'm in. - Okay, drop it. 161 00:10:35,201 --> 00:10:38,261 I don't know of anything that won't leave a gap in the field. 162 00:10:38,371 --> 00:10:40,362 But we got to see what's going on in there. 163 00:10:40,473 --> 00:10:43,135 - How much did that cost? - Yeah. 164 00:10:44,076 --> 00:10:46,772 - What? - You want to put my camcorder... 165 00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:50,406 inside the box that's so dangerous we can't look into it. 166 00:10:53,886 --> 00:10:56,719 If something happens, would you pay me back? 167 00:10:58,124 --> 00:11:01,616 So we have a slightly negative pressure in the box. 168 00:11:01,894 --> 00:11:03,759 So we're ready for the argon. 169 00:11:04,497 --> 00:11:08,058 - Which one is that? - It's the blue one. 170 00:11:08,568 --> 00:11:11,935 I weighed it at 77 grams. 171 00:11:12,071 --> 00:11:14,301 I set the scale to decagrams, though. 172 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,298 I'm showing 7.7 decagrams. 173 00:11:19,412 --> 00:11:21,175 Ready for... 174 00:11:21,714 --> 00:11:26,083 0.05 liters of argon. 175 00:11:34,694 --> 00:11:37,162 - You ready? - Just the plate first, right? 176 00:11:37,263 --> 00:11:40,464 Right, first just the plate, and then we'll... 177 00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:47,602 Let's just give it a second. 178 00:12:05,858 --> 00:12:07,951 - You want to do the box now? - Yeah. 179 00:12:08,127 --> 00:12:10,789 Let's go through the checklist. Aaron, hold on a second. 180 00:12:10,896 --> 00:12:14,593 Let's make sure everything's set up right. Hold on, Aaron. Wait. 181 00:12:16,369 --> 00:12:17,802 Just wait. 182 00:12:29,081 --> 00:12:30,412 Okay. 183 00:12:39,892 --> 00:12:41,291 Anything? 184 00:12:42,495 --> 00:12:44,690 - Is this normal? - I don't know. 185 00:12:45,931 --> 00:12:48,024 - I'm turning it off. - Wait! No. 186 00:12:51,470 --> 00:12:54,871 - Okay, I didn't do that. - Did we blow something? 187 00:12:56,842 --> 00:12:59,970 Yeah, we did. That's destroyed. 188 00:13:00,646 --> 00:13:03,308 - You want to check your camera? - Yeah. 189 00:13:03,749 --> 00:13:05,683 - Let's get this. - You ready? 190 00:13:05,851 --> 00:13:08,115 One, two, three. 191 00:13:21,367 --> 00:13:24,894 Hey. Tell me you're hungry. Kara's at her mom's and I'm starving. 192 00:13:25,337 --> 00:13:27,430 Yeah, I'm hungry. What... 193 00:13:27,540 --> 00:13:31,704 Abe, it's 7:00. Abe, it's 7:00 at night. 194 00:13:31,877 --> 00:13:34,209 - Okay, yeah, I have food... - Okay. 195 00:13:34,313 --> 00:13:37,680 - Wait, are those kids there? - Just a sec. 196 00:13:38,751 --> 00:13:40,150 Yeah, they're here. 197 00:13:40,252 --> 00:13:44,018 Okay, screw that, let's just go somewhere. I just pulled in, so come on down. 198 00:13:44,123 --> 00:13:47,183 Come up first. I have some stuff I want to take back to the shop. 199 00:13:47,293 --> 00:13:49,420 All right, but meet me at the door. 200 00:13:49,528 --> 00:13:52,691 - Okay, all right. - Seriously, meet me at the door. 201 00:13:52,832 --> 00:13:54,732 Okay. All right. See you. 202 00:14:08,848 --> 00:14:11,214 - What's up, Abe? - Hey, Brad. How are you? 203 00:14:11,450 --> 00:14:12,542 Good. 204 00:14:22,828 --> 00:14:25,592 - How long did he say he would be there? - Not long. 205 00:14:25,698 --> 00:14:28,724 If he's got problems, he's got to fix them. You're not his dad. 206 00:14:28,834 --> 00:14:32,463 I know. I just thought it would be good to do something charitable. 207 00:14:32,571 --> 00:14:35,369 It definitely is charity. At least you admit that. 208 00:14:38,177 --> 00:14:41,408 You feel like a steak? To eat. 209 00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:45,784 I don't want a steak. Let's just grab some tacos on the way to the shop. 210 00:14:45,885 --> 00:14:47,819 - I have some stuff I want to try out. - Okay. 211 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,913 We can get some tacos on the way, or we can get a steak afterwards. 212 00:14:52,024 --> 00:14:55,289 What are you talking about? I'm not paying for a steak. 213 00:15:00,099 --> 00:15:01,623 It's stable? 214 00:15:03,402 --> 00:15:05,302 Aaron, it's stable? 215 00:15:13,245 --> 00:15:15,941 - What did you do to this thing? - What? 216 00:15:16,315 --> 00:15:19,910 - It looks like a dog digested it. - Okay, that's the plate. 217 00:15:20,653 --> 00:15:23,451 I rigged this into the box so I could control the feed. 218 00:15:23,556 --> 00:15:26,650 - I figured it's the easiest way... - It's just controlling the box. 219 00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:30,593 The plate stays the same. What you do is you gradually feed it. 220 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,296 Okay. You hear that? How it's... 221 00:15:37,403 --> 00:15:40,736 See, I'm not touching it anymore. It's growing with its own momentum. 222 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,400 It's like a feedback loop, and it just regulates itself. 223 00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:47,275 And what you do is when it gets there, you bring it back... 224 00:15:48,247 --> 00:15:51,705 and there you go, it coasts. It's stable. It stays like that. 225 00:15:54,486 --> 00:15:55,919 So it works? 226 00:15:56,622 --> 00:15:59,147 - Yeah, it does. - What is that, like 10%? 227 00:15:59,458 --> 00:16:02,621 It knocks another couple of points by the time it reaches the peak. 228 00:16:02,728 --> 00:16:05,754 You may want to come over here and take a look at this. 229 00:16:05,931 --> 00:16:07,523 Okay, what am I looking at? 230 00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:10,932 - What are we pulling out of the batteries? - Probably 24 volts. 231 00:16:11,036 --> 00:16:13,402 - I mean, no more than that, right? - Okay. 232 00:16:13,505 --> 00:16:15,200 So your meter's jacked up. 233 00:16:15,574 --> 00:16:18,074 That's what I figured. So I tried three others. 234 00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:19,499 I got the exact same thing. 235 00:16:19,578 --> 00:16:21,409 - I spent all last night... - What was it? 236 00:16:21,513 --> 00:16:25,244 I spent last night and a two-hour break just double-checking everything. 237 00:16:25,351 --> 00:16:29,344 There's something wrong here. We're not pulling out more than we're putting in. 238 00:16:29,455 --> 00:16:31,685 - Slightly more. - Well, yeah, whatever. 239 00:16:31,790 --> 00:16:34,691 It's not like a volt and a half more than we're putting in. 240 00:16:34,793 --> 00:16:36,271 It's probably the batteries. 241 00:16:36,297 --> 00:16:38,777 They're cheap batteries, not regulated right. 242 00:16:38,998 --> 00:16:40,556 That is weird, though. 243 00:16:43,869 --> 00:16:45,962 You want to see something weirder? 244 00:16:46,272 --> 00:16:50,140 Okay, let's go over this again. Two batteries, right? 24 volts? 245 00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:54,104 What are we pulling out of this one? Just for fun. 246 00:16:56,815 --> 00:16:58,305 Twelve volts. 247 00:17:08,294 --> 00:17:11,821 - How about this one? - Should be 12 volts. 248 00:17:20,606 --> 00:17:22,597 So, what the hell is this thing? 249 00:17:23,809 --> 00:17:25,777 It doesn't stay like that. 250 00:17:26,612 --> 00:17:29,445 No, it winds down in a few minutes. What does that? 251 00:17:34,453 --> 00:17:38,446 I don't know. I'll tell them something. I'll tell them we're spraying for bugs. 252 00:17:38,557 --> 00:17:40,923 It should just be a day or two, anyways. 253 00:17:41,327 --> 00:17:45,320 - Unless you want to bring them in. - No, they have their work in there, too. 254 00:17:45,431 --> 00:17:48,594 If Phillip finds out about that he's going to have to take it apart. 255 00:17:48,701 --> 00:17:53,104 - No. I'm just putting a little tweak on it. - Yeah, I know. No, you're right. 256 00:17:53,706 --> 00:17:57,142 Abe, it's my garage, okay? It's not like they're paying rent. 257 00:17:57,643 --> 00:18:01,739 There was value in the thing. Clearly. Of that they were certain of. 258 00:18:01,847 --> 00:18:04,179 But what is the application? In a matter of hours... 259 00:18:04,283 --> 00:18:07,775 they had pinned it to everything from mass transit to satellite launching. 260 00:18:07,886 --> 00:18:10,081 Imagining devices the size of jumbo jets. 261 00:18:10,189 --> 00:18:13,249 Everything would be cheaper. It was practical and they knew it. 262 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,418 But above all that, beyond the positives... 263 00:18:15,527 --> 00:18:17,688 they knew that the easiest way to be exploited... 264 00:18:17,796 --> 00:18:20,060 is to sell something they did not yet understand. 265 00:18:20,165 --> 00:18:23,623 So they kept quiet. The parties would continue. 266 00:18:23,736 --> 00:18:26,296 Any birthday, anniversary, holiday... 267 00:18:26,405 --> 00:18:30,341 maybe some obscure project launch. It didn't matter. Any reason would do. 268 00:18:30,509 --> 00:18:34,912 What was important is that Thomas Granger, their last best hope of funding, show up. 269 00:18:35,014 --> 00:18:39,383 If he left a little earlier than they would've liked, he couldn't be blamed. 270 00:18:39,485 --> 00:18:42,511 He was only there to please his daughter Rachel. 271 00:18:42,621 --> 00:18:45,181 And she was only there to please Abe. 272 00:18:47,626 --> 00:18:49,685 What did you say to Mr. Granger a while ago? 273 00:18:49,795 --> 00:18:52,559 - Did you flip my burger? - You can't call him Mr. Granger. 274 00:18:52,664 --> 00:18:54,825 You have to call him, like, Thomas or something. 275 00:18:54,933 --> 00:18:57,834 - Go ahead. - No, because he won't take you seriously. 276 00:18:59,038 --> 00:19:01,632 - He thinks we're kids. - If you call him Mr. Granger... 277 00:19:01,740 --> 00:19:04,186 he looks at you like you're a 6-year-old kid. 278 00:19:04,212 --> 00:19:06,498 He does it with me. It won't work anymore. 279 00:19:06,745 --> 00:19:10,374 Abe had taken on the task of quantifying and explaining the device. 280 00:19:11,350 --> 00:19:13,215 But as weeks became months... 281 00:19:13,318 --> 00:19:17,618 their enthusiasm became a slow realization that they were out of their depth. 282 00:20:00,466 --> 00:20:02,764 There he is. I've been calling you all morning. 283 00:20:02,868 --> 00:20:05,894 - Where'd you call? - Your work and your cell. 284 00:20:06,672 --> 00:20:08,139 I'm not there. 285 00:20:09,308 --> 00:20:10,502 Really? 286 00:20:12,478 --> 00:20:15,447 - March Madness? - It's Carolina and Michigan. 287 00:20:15,547 --> 00:20:17,674 - Who's up? - I don't even know what. 288 00:20:19,184 --> 00:20:21,311 Do you have anything important at work today? 289 00:20:21,420 --> 00:20:25,356 I hope you're not implying that any day is unimportant at Cortex Semi. 290 00:20:26,792 --> 00:20:30,159 I was going to come give you this big speech about how we've been... 291 00:20:30,262 --> 00:20:33,231 friends for a long time and built up trust, that whole thing. 292 00:20:33,332 --> 00:20:34,959 But how about this instead? 293 00:20:35,067 --> 00:20:39,265 If you ditch work this afternoon and promise to do the few small things I ask you... 294 00:20:39,371 --> 00:20:42,101 I will in return show you the most important thing... 295 00:20:42,207 --> 00:20:44,869 that any living organism has ever witnessed. 296 00:20:45,911 --> 00:20:49,369 Well, it looks like mustard to me. 297 00:20:49,481 --> 00:20:51,813 I know, but it's a film. It's a protein... 298 00:20:51,917 --> 00:20:54,818 secreted by a fungus called Aspergillus Ticor. 299 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:55,944 He told you that? 300 00:20:56,054 --> 00:20:59,023 No, he knew it was a protein but didn't know where it came from. 301 00:20:59,124 --> 00:21:02,287 All he really did was just take some pictures with their equipment. 302 00:21:02,394 --> 00:21:03,725 Guess where we're going. 303 00:21:03,829 --> 00:21:06,195 - Do you know where Will is? - No, why? 304 00:21:06,298 --> 00:21:08,630 The Ariel meeting is pushed back till Wednesday. 305 00:21:08,734 --> 00:21:11,498 I thought he was waiting around for it. Where are you going? 306 00:21:11,603 --> 00:21:13,833 What do they do with engineers when they turn 40? 307 00:21:13,939 --> 00:21:16,339 - What, Bradshaw? - Exactly. You know what? 308 00:21:16,441 --> 00:21:19,342 I do know where Will is. I'll let him know on my way out. 309 00:21:19,444 --> 00:21:21,674 - Okay. Thanks. - Can you meet me out front? 310 00:21:21,780 --> 00:21:24,874 - You got to drive. - Okay, here. Take my keys. 311 00:21:24,983 --> 00:21:29,181 Okay, if you can, just pretend that this is the first time I came in. 312 00:21:29,321 --> 00:21:32,813 And if you would just tell him exactly what you told me... 313 00:21:33,659 --> 00:21:37,026 - Okay, so what is it? - Protein buildup. 314 00:21:37,129 --> 00:21:40,758 - Okay, can you just tell him? - Protein buildup. 315 00:21:41,266 --> 00:21:44,030 - But what kind? - Some fungus. 316 00:21:44,303 --> 00:21:47,067 - Some fungus. - Where did it come from? 317 00:21:47,239 --> 00:21:49,818 I don't know. You were to take it to the lab. 318 00:21:49,844 --> 00:21:51,132 Yeah, that's next. 319 00:21:51,210 --> 00:21:53,974 - You were in design, weren't you? - Yeah. 320 00:21:54,346 --> 00:21:55,904 How did you get over here? 321 00:21:56,014 --> 00:21:59,211 Do you know what they do with engineers when they turn 40? 322 00:21:59,518 --> 00:22:01,145 They take them out and shoot them. 323 00:22:01,253 --> 00:22:04,222 What the hell, Abe? You could have just shown me the pictures. 324 00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:07,986 - I want you to believe it. - Believe what, the protein? 325 00:22:08,227 --> 00:22:09,888 - I believe you. - Okay, look... 326 00:22:09,995 --> 00:22:13,431 this guy already thinks it's a joke, so he may be a little defensive. 327 00:22:13,532 --> 00:22:15,864 Really? Why would he think that? 328 00:22:28,580 --> 00:22:30,013 Please. 329 00:22:31,984 --> 00:22:33,849 Aspergillus Ticor. 330 00:22:34,453 --> 00:22:36,580 This is a fungus that's everywhere. 331 00:22:37,256 --> 00:22:41,522 It's in our bed, our skin, sometimes even our GI tract. Everywhere. 332 00:22:42,561 --> 00:22:46,930 It's basically the reason you don't leave things in dark, damp, closed-off places. 333 00:22:47,099 --> 00:22:49,863 Thank you. Do you have that sample I brought? 334 00:22:55,140 --> 00:22:58,132 There it is. Terger. T-E-R-G-E-R. 335 00:22:59,344 --> 00:23:02,438 Okay, when I showed you this, tell him what you thought. 336 00:23:05,083 --> 00:23:08,314 - You thought it was a joke, right? - It is a joke. 337 00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:11,246 Right, but how did you know? 338 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,691 Will you show him? Please? 339 00:23:25,804 --> 00:23:29,240 This is how I get protein A out of Aspergillus Ticor. We sweeten it. 340 00:23:29,341 --> 00:23:32,174 We agitate it. We spin it around. We sweeten some more. 341 00:23:32,277 --> 00:23:35,508 - Takes about a month. - To get the same amount I brought in. 342 00:23:36,548 --> 00:23:38,140 To get the same amount I brought in. 343 00:23:38,250 --> 00:23:40,650 So if it's an incubator for fungus, is that valuable? 344 00:23:40,752 --> 00:23:42,549 - That's not what it is. - Then what is it? 345 00:23:42,654 --> 00:23:46,021 There's another way to secrete that much protein. Do it naturally. 346 00:23:46,124 --> 00:23:48,354 But that takes a lot longer. 347 00:23:48,493 --> 00:23:51,094 If it has a little moisture and it's left alone, 348 00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:53,455 it'll start secreting and it'll build up... 349 00:23:53,532 --> 00:23:55,932 - and build up, but it takes a long time. - How long? 350 00:23:56,034 --> 00:23:58,901 - A long time. - More than a few days? Then how long? 351 00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:01,268 To get the same amount of protein that we have... 352 00:24:01,373 --> 00:24:03,671 the amount that I was wiping off every five days... 353 00:24:03,775 --> 00:24:05,970 and five days later it would accumulate... 354 00:24:06,078 --> 00:24:08,740 he says it would take about five to six years. 355 00:24:11,616 --> 00:24:13,140 I don't want to belittle this guy. 356 00:24:13,251 --> 00:24:15,947 So, I said screw it and I put my watch in there. 357 00:24:16,488 --> 00:24:18,615 - And? - I want you to do it. 358 00:24:19,324 --> 00:24:22,157 - Where is it? The box? - I took it back to the shop. 359 00:24:24,229 --> 00:24:27,756 - Wait, digital or old mechanical? - Exactly. I did both. 360 00:24:29,101 --> 00:24:31,501 - And what? - I want you to do it. 361 00:24:34,172 --> 00:24:36,436 We thought that we were degrading gravity, right? 362 00:24:36,541 --> 00:24:38,532 That we were blocking that information. 363 00:24:38,643 --> 00:24:42,272 I think we're doing more than that. I think we're blocking more than that. 364 00:24:42,381 --> 00:24:46,511 When you were controlling the feed, did you notice it was parabolic? 365 00:24:46,785 --> 00:24:50,050 It's important. Parabolas are important. Here, look at this. 366 00:24:51,123 --> 00:24:52,556 I don't know, Abe. 367 00:24:52,657 --> 00:24:55,285 I'm going to start it up and let it run for 60 seconds... 368 00:24:55,394 --> 00:24:57,658 with nothing in it. It's empty this time. 369 00:24:57,763 --> 00:24:58,752 That's 22... 370 00:24:58,864 --> 00:25:01,594 In all the equations that describe motion and heat and entropy. 371 00:25:01,700 --> 00:25:05,227 In all Feynman diagrams what's the one variable that you can turn negative... 372 00:25:05,337 --> 00:25:07,805 and still get rational answers for? It's not mass. 373 00:25:07,906 --> 00:25:10,704 Twenty-two hours, 27 minutes in the box. 374 00:25:10,809 --> 00:25:14,308 - It's odd, it's an odd number. - That's 1,347 minutes. 375 00:25:15,814 --> 00:25:19,341 - 1,347, man, you got that fast. - How did you know it's odd? 376 00:25:19,451 --> 00:25:23,512 Because this is it. This is what's going on. There's an "A" end and a "B" end. 377 00:25:23,622 --> 00:25:26,591 Let's say the A end is 12:00, and the B end is 12:01. 378 00:25:26,691 --> 00:25:29,592 All right? We start the machine with the Weeble at the A end. 379 00:25:29,694 --> 00:25:32,128 - It travels forward... - You got to write this down. 380 00:25:32,230 --> 00:25:34,664 - There's nothing to write down. - I'll write it down. 381 00:25:34,766 --> 00:25:36,825 It travels forward normally towards the B end. 382 00:25:36,935 --> 00:25:39,369 When it gets there, the feed runs down parabolically... 383 00:25:39,471 --> 00:25:42,599 until it should stop, but it curves back around towards the A end. 384 00:25:42,707 --> 00:25:45,870 When it gets back to the A end... Curve that around. The Weeble... 385 00:25:45,977 --> 00:25:49,310 has experienced a total of two minutes, and again it curves... 386 00:25:49,414 --> 00:25:51,541 - Back around. It curves parabolically. - Right. 387 00:25:51,650 --> 00:25:54,278 It comes back around and it does this about 1,300 times. 388 00:25:54,386 --> 00:25:56,115 When it finally exits on the B end... 389 00:25:56,221 --> 00:25:59,054 it's traveled an odd number of forward and backward trips. 390 00:25:59,157 --> 00:26:02,593 What is so special about 1,300? Why is it about 1,300? Why isn't it exact? 391 00:26:02,694 --> 00:26:04,753 - This is not empirical. - Here, give me that. 392 00:26:04,863 --> 00:26:08,663 I don't know why it's not exact. There's some sort of probability there. 393 00:26:08,767 --> 00:26:11,292 Every time it hits the B end there's a chance... 394 00:26:11,403 --> 00:26:14,304 a small chance it won't curve back around towards the A end. 395 00:26:14,406 --> 00:26:18,103 And for some reason, it takes about 1,300 trips before it finally does. 396 00:26:18,210 --> 00:26:21,509 It does have to exit, or else we wouldn't be able to see it afterwards. 397 00:26:21,613 --> 00:26:23,604 Okay, let's take a look at this. 398 00:26:24,282 --> 00:26:26,580 Twenty-two hours, 14 minutes. 399 00:26:30,622 --> 00:26:33,785 - 1,334 minutes. - Even. 400 00:26:36,161 --> 00:26:37,890 Enter at the B end. 401 00:26:39,865 --> 00:26:41,594 Exit at the B end. 402 00:26:44,603 --> 00:26:48,004 - I just want you to see it the way I saw it. - I am trying, okay? 403 00:26:48,106 --> 00:26:50,574 Everything we're putting in that box comes ungrounded. 404 00:26:50,675 --> 00:26:53,439 And I don't mean grounded to the earth, I mean not tethered. 405 00:26:53,545 --> 00:26:56,708 We're blocking whatever keeps it moving forward, so they flip-flop. 406 00:26:56,815 --> 00:26:59,943 Inside the box, it's like a street, and both ends are cul-de-sacs. 407 00:27:00,051 --> 00:27:04,044 This isn't frame dragging or wormhole matching. It's basic mechanics and heat. 408 00:27:04,155 --> 00:27:06,248 This is not mechanics and heat. 409 00:27:10,562 --> 00:27:14,123 - We can publish. - Yeah, we can publish. 410 00:27:14,232 --> 00:27:16,723 No, I mean we can really publish. 411 00:27:17,536 --> 00:27:19,902 Aaron, the Weeble's stupid. It can't move. 412 00:27:20,005 --> 00:27:22,599 Even if we were to put the Weeble in at point B... 413 00:27:22,707 --> 00:27:27,406 it's still going to bounce back and forth until it's kicked out at the B end. 414 00:27:31,016 --> 00:27:32,574 But if it were smart... 415 00:27:34,419 --> 00:27:38,617 it could enter at the B end and exit at the A end before it flips back. 416 00:27:42,627 --> 00:27:46,757 You're talking about making a bigger one. 417 00:27:48,066 --> 00:27:51,399 I didn't say anything. You're the one talking about it. 418 00:27:52,871 --> 00:27:54,429 So, you believe me? 419 00:27:56,508 --> 00:27:57,770 No, I don't. 420 00:27:57,943 --> 00:28:00,309 Come on. Let's go get a drink or something. 421 00:28:05,383 --> 00:28:07,817 - We're going to have to move it. - We will. 422 00:28:11,222 --> 00:28:13,690 We need a box big enough for a person to fit into. As far as turning it on... 423 00:28:13,725 --> 00:28:16,956 I was testing the box. It turns out over half the rings are redundant. 424 00:28:17,062 --> 00:28:20,520 The inner ring is strong enough on its own, so it makes the plate smaller. 425 00:28:20,632 --> 00:28:22,725 A lot more is unnecessary. What we can do... 426 00:28:22,834 --> 00:28:27,134 is take a lot of these small plates and surround a container with a web of them. 427 00:28:28,406 --> 00:28:29,668 How small? 428 00:28:29,908 --> 00:28:33,969 It should be accumulative so a lot of mini-fields equal one big one, right? 429 00:28:34,679 --> 00:28:36,647 Yeah, sum of series, that makes sense. 430 00:28:36,748 --> 00:28:40,184 What I was going to say is we need to find a place where we can put it... 431 00:28:40,285 --> 00:28:42,150 and turn it on and it won't be disturbed. 432 00:28:42,253 --> 00:28:44,346 We could just lock it in a closet. 433 00:28:44,756 --> 00:28:48,487 Someplace where someone's not going to go poking around and messing with it. 434 00:28:48,593 --> 00:28:50,254 And climate-controlled. 435 00:28:50,895 --> 00:28:53,295 Yeah, so whatever, we'll find some place. 436 00:28:53,665 --> 00:28:56,600 So, if we go your route with what? A bunch of mini-fields? 437 00:28:56,701 --> 00:29:00,432 That's a lot of work. We'd have to... I mean, how many days is that? 438 00:29:01,873 --> 00:29:05,070 Abe, you know what we could use? 439 00:29:06,077 --> 00:29:09,513 I know we've seen a lot of crazy things lately, okay? 440 00:29:09,614 --> 00:29:13,550 I know you're still trying to put it all together in a way that makes sense. 441 00:29:13,652 --> 00:29:17,247 Look, I just want you to understand that what's next is not a prank, okay? 442 00:29:17,355 --> 00:29:20,119 I wouldn't do that to you and I'm not doing that to you. 443 00:29:20,225 --> 00:29:25,028 So when you see this, you can't yell or make any noise or run anywhere, ok? 444 00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:29,184 I know you probably feel like you're being tricked or made fun of. But you're not, ok? 445 00:29:29,234 --> 00:29:32,001 I promise you, you're not. Okay? 446 00:29:58,596 --> 00:29:59,961 Who was that, Abe? 447 00:30:24,823 --> 00:30:27,053 Let's just wait. Six minutes. 448 00:31:27,919 --> 00:31:30,080 Look, you sure you're okay to drive? 449 00:31:33,691 --> 00:31:36,353 What did you do all day? The first time through? 450 00:31:39,531 --> 00:31:42,329 I spent the day in a hotel room in Russellfield. 451 00:31:44,169 --> 00:31:47,400 - I'll just meet you back at the shop. - I wonder what I did. 452 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,466 - I guess I went back to work. - Yeah, probably. 453 00:31:52,577 --> 00:31:54,511 Probably just worked, I guess. 454 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,578 Yeah, probably so. 455 00:32:01,886 --> 00:32:04,411 Look, now that I know about this, Abe... 456 00:32:05,023 --> 00:32:07,856 don't do this again, okay? Not where it affects me. 457 00:32:12,497 --> 00:32:14,021 Go ahead. 458 00:32:19,637 --> 00:32:21,070 Hey, Rachel. 459 00:33:03,414 --> 00:33:05,075 Why not the lottery? 460 00:33:05,450 --> 00:33:08,180 We can if you want, but it's not until Saturday. 461 00:33:08,286 --> 00:33:12,814 And even if we win the full $10 million, that's only $200,000 for the next 30 years. 462 00:33:13,791 --> 00:33:16,658 - And that's just one good trade. - A couple days like this. 463 00:33:16,761 --> 00:33:20,162 - I was just running a test. In and out. - I want to do what you did. 464 00:33:20,265 --> 00:33:21,664 Exactly what you did. 465 00:33:21,766 --> 00:33:24,667 - The first thing I did is call in sick. - Okay, I did that. 466 00:33:24,769 --> 00:33:28,637 - Then I drove to the storage facility. - But I need to drop Lauren at school first. 467 00:33:28,740 --> 00:33:31,334 Then meet me there. We're going to need both cars. 468 00:33:31,442 --> 00:33:34,536 We need to park yours down the road, out of sight of the facility. 469 00:33:34,646 --> 00:33:37,547 - Why are we doing that? - Because we need a ride home. 470 00:33:37,649 --> 00:33:39,207 - What is that... - It'll make sense. 471 00:33:39,317 --> 00:33:41,512 Okay, I'll be patient. 472 00:33:41,619 --> 00:33:45,111 When I got to the storage room, I flooded the box with argon... 473 00:33:45,223 --> 00:33:48,954 and I had to tighten it up to secure the leaks. 474 00:33:49,427 --> 00:33:51,952 - There's leaks? - There's always leaks. 475 00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:00,396 At 8:30 a.m., I set the timer for 15 minutes... 476 00:34:00,505 --> 00:34:03,906 I jumped in the car, and drove to Russellfield. 477 00:34:04,108 --> 00:34:05,268 Okay, I lost it. 478 00:34:05,376 --> 00:34:08,038 - What? - Why the timer? 479 00:34:08,413 --> 00:34:12,281 Because the moment we start those machines is the moment we'll end up... 480 00:34:12,383 --> 00:34:15,113 - getting out of them, and- - Right. Got it. Sorry. 481 00:34:15,219 --> 00:34:17,915 I don't want to be standing around when they do. 482 00:34:18,957 --> 00:34:23,360 While I was on the road at 8:45, the machine kicked on by itself... 483 00:34:24,395 --> 00:34:27,523 and by 8:49, it was completely warmed up. 484 00:34:35,306 --> 00:34:39,902 In Russellfield, I got a hotel room and tried to isolate myself. 485 00:34:40,611 --> 00:34:42,374 Wait, what do you mean "isolate"? 486 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,176 I closed the windows, I unplugged everything in the room... 487 00:34:45,283 --> 00:34:47,251 the telephone, TV, clock, radio, everything. 488 00:34:47,352 --> 00:34:50,344 I didn't want to take the chance of running into someone I knew... 489 00:34:50,455 --> 00:34:52,423 or seeing something on the news that might... 490 00:34:52,523 --> 00:34:56,425 If we're dealing with causality, and I don't even know for sure. 491 00:34:56,527 --> 00:34:58,722 - I just... - What? 492 00:34:59,130 --> 00:35:02,293 - Took myself out of the equation. - Err on the side of caution. 493 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:03,492 Yes. 494 00:35:05,003 --> 00:35:07,130 Then what did you do all day? 495 00:35:10,208 --> 00:35:13,871 - I just sat there. I had some books, but... - What? Were you nervous? 496 00:35:13,978 --> 00:35:17,106 Yeah. It's mind-numbing, all the second-guessing. 497 00:35:22,053 --> 00:35:23,486 "Evacipate." 498 00:35:28,626 --> 00:35:32,153 At 3:30 p.m., I stopped by Williams Medical Supply. 499 00:35:32,263 --> 00:35:34,356 Picked up a Class E oxygen tank and mask. 500 00:35:34,465 --> 00:35:38,128 I called my mutual fund company and asked which stock in their mid-cap fund... 501 00:35:38,236 --> 00:35:40,136 had the greatest percentage gain that day. 502 00:35:40,238 --> 00:35:43,207 The idea was just to get enough information for one good trade. 503 00:35:43,307 --> 00:35:46,003 Can we just download chart data and trade on each movement? 504 00:35:46,110 --> 00:35:50,547 But if we do that, I want to use the library in Russellfield, use their computers. 505 00:36:04,595 --> 00:36:08,759 So, I got to the storage room at about 3:15 and cut off the power to the box. 506 00:36:09,667 --> 00:36:12,534 It cycled down to a tolerable level at about 3:19. 507 00:36:12,703 --> 00:36:15,763 The trick is to get in after it reaches a comfortable level... 508 00:36:15,873 --> 00:36:19,172 but before it shuts off completely. There's a window there. 509 00:36:19,343 --> 00:36:21,277 So, does it hurt? 510 00:36:22,713 --> 00:36:24,408 Yeah, it does a little. 511 00:36:24,782 --> 00:36:28,411 It's not bad if you wait for the right time. It's like a small static shock. 512 00:36:28,519 --> 00:36:31,079 - Once you're in, you're fine, though. - What? 513 00:36:31,422 --> 00:36:34,619 I know you've done it, and I can only assume that you don't have... 514 00:36:34,725 --> 00:36:36,693 cancer or male impotence. 515 00:36:36,794 --> 00:36:39,490 But what is your opinion on how safe this thing is? 516 00:36:39,597 --> 00:36:41,963 I can imagine no way in which this thing would be... 517 00:36:42,066 --> 00:36:44,193 considered anywhere remotely close to safe. 518 00:36:44,302 --> 00:36:47,794 All I know is I spent six hours in there and I'm still alive. 519 00:36:50,408 --> 00:36:52,308 You still want to do it? 520 00:37:09,227 --> 00:37:11,991 I set the alarm on my stopwatch for six hours. 521 00:37:12,096 --> 00:37:16,192 I regulated the O2 tank, took some Dramamine, and tried to sleep. 522 00:37:16,868 --> 00:37:18,130 Did you? 523 00:37:18,402 --> 00:37:20,302 - What? - Did you sleep? 524 00:37:20,805 --> 00:37:24,741 Not at first. I've never considered myself claustrophobic... 525 00:37:24,842 --> 00:37:28,972 but I started sweating and I couldn't find the right flow rate on the tank... 526 00:37:29,447 --> 00:37:33,508 and I was breathing differently than I was when I was testing it on the outside. 527 00:37:33,618 --> 00:37:36,018 Eventually, I settled down, and... 528 00:37:36,387 --> 00:37:40,346 I don't know, maybe it was the Dramamine kicking in, but I remember this moment... 529 00:37:40,458 --> 00:37:43,256 in the dark with the reverberation of the machine. 530 00:37:43,828 --> 00:37:46,797 It was maybe the most content I've ever been. 531 00:37:49,534 --> 00:37:51,900 I woke up on my own without the alarm... 532 00:37:52,003 --> 00:37:55,495 and waited for the machine to cool down. Cool down from my perspective. 533 00:37:55,606 --> 00:37:58,473 It got to a point where it sounded safe to get out... 534 00:37:58,576 --> 00:38:01,136 but the stopwatch still showed a couple minutes... 535 00:38:01,245 --> 00:38:03,611 so I trusted the math and waited. 536 00:38:39,784 --> 00:38:43,481 That's not a static shock, Abe. Okay, please stop it. 537 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,489 You got out too soon. 538 00:38:52,930 --> 00:38:56,957 You have to wait for the stopwatch so that you know the gain is low enough. 539 00:38:57,368 --> 00:38:59,063 So, we're back here? 540 00:38:59,503 --> 00:39:03,064 Yeah, we're here. It's 8:50, Tuesday morning. 541 00:39:07,178 --> 00:39:09,237 All right. Give me a few minutes. 542 00:39:12,316 --> 00:39:15,843 From there it was easy. The bulk of the work was done. 543 00:39:15,953 --> 00:39:19,286 I just left everything the way I found it. I left the machine alone... 544 00:39:19,390 --> 00:39:22,359 and didn't turn it off, and just cleared out of there. 545 00:39:22,460 --> 00:39:26,897 So your double would find everything the same later that day and get in the box? 546 00:39:26,998 --> 00:39:31,526 Right, but also, I or my double or someone was in the box coming backwards. 547 00:39:31,636 --> 00:39:34,867 So who knows what that would've done if I'd turned the machine off. 548 00:39:34,972 --> 00:39:37,463 Definitely. So, they're one-time use only. 549 00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:41,978 So then, at that moment, since my double was on the way to the hotel in my car... 550 00:39:42,079 --> 00:39:46,106 I had to take a taxi home. But when we go, we'll be able to use your truck. 551 00:40:06,470 --> 00:40:10,133 - You have a margin account, right? - Yeah. I do now. What are we buying? 552 00:40:10,241 --> 00:40:14,143 Good. Today, before 12:30, we'll buy as many shares as we can of RGWU. 553 00:40:16,213 --> 00:40:19,910 They'll say their earnings that quarter are three and a half times consensus... 554 00:40:20,017 --> 00:40:23,009 and the stock will nearly double in afternoon trading. 555 00:40:24,922 --> 00:40:27,049 - What do they do? - What do you mean? 556 00:40:27,191 --> 00:40:29,455 What does this company do? Do they make things or... 557 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,154 I don't know. All that matters is the price goes up. 558 00:40:32,263 --> 00:40:36,962 The volume is so high that the number of shares we trade won't affect the price. 559 00:40:39,704 --> 00:40:41,831 You really don't know what they do? 560 00:40:47,411 --> 00:40:51,211 That's why you spoke about a mid-cap fund, so volume is high enough to hide us. 561 00:40:51,315 --> 00:40:53,408 - Do you think it's too cautious? - I don't know. 562 00:40:53,517 --> 00:40:55,712 I know there's a lot of other stocks out there... 563 00:40:55,820 --> 00:40:59,017 that do a lot more than double, but this is my first day. 564 00:41:36,660 --> 00:41:38,491 - My God. - She's not going to answer. 565 00:41:38,662 --> 00:41:40,357 I know, Abe. That's the question. 566 00:41:41,499 --> 00:41:45,492 I know, so what's the answer? You've got the $400 billion... 567 00:41:45,603 --> 00:41:49,198 you've gone the charity route, you have this perfect 100-room mansion... 568 00:41:49,306 --> 00:41:51,672 with matching his and her yachts and helicopter pads. 569 00:41:51,776 --> 00:41:54,745 Basically, you have absolute impunity to do whatever you want... 570 00:41:54,845 --> 00:41:55,834 nobody can touch you. 571 00:41:55,946 --> 00:41:58,005 - You're back from a two-year... - Above the law. 572 00:41:58,115 --> 00:42:02,984 Absolutely, well above. You're fresh back from this two-year world-galloping vacation. 573 00:42:03,087 --> 00:42:05,146 How do you fill your day? What do you do? 574 00:42:05,256 --> 00:42:08,431 Abe, I know that's the question, but it's not a real question, 575 00:42:08,457 --> 00:42:09,715 so why does it matter? 576 00:42:09,793 --> 00:42:11,192 So what's the answer? 577 00:42:11,295 --> 00:42:15,229 Babe, he knows that's the question, okay? He's asking you the question. 578 00:42:15,433 --> 00:42:18,994 What do you mean? What would I do with my life or what would I do tomorrow? 579 00:42:19,103 --> 00:42:20,365 My God, either. 580 00:42:22,072 --> 00:42:26,065 I'd have to do something constructive. I'd have to do something that would help... 581 00:42:26,177 --> 00:42:29,840 - something that would make me feel good. - I know. That's fantastic. Good. 582 00:42:29,947 --> 00:42:34,816 - My wife. So good. So pure. You are pure. - Shut up. Why did you ask, then? 583 00:42:35,052 --> 00:42:39,250 This is what I would do: I would wake up tomorrow morning... 584 00:42:39,356 --> 00:42:41,790 and I'd go over to Gabriel Capital Inc... 585 00:42:41,892 --> 00:42:45,658 and I would tell Joseph Platts' receptionist that I'm there to see him... 586 00:42:45,763 --> 00:42:47,458 and when he comes out... 587 00:42:48,966 --> 00:42:51,799 I would ram my fist through the flat of his nose. 588 00:42:52,770 --> 00:42:56,763 Just one good punch, one good pow. 589 00:42:58,309 --> 00:43:01,506 - That's amazing. It's about time. - That is so great. 590 00:43:01,612 --> 00:43:04,308 Where did this come from? You're always defending the guy. 591 00:43:04,415 --> 00:43:06,975 - It's unnatural. - I'd only do it if I knew that... 592 00:43:07,084 --> 00:43:08,813 no one would find out or get hurt. 593 00:43:08,919 --> 00:43:12,286 Like, I wish that there was a way that I could do it... 594 00:43:12,389 --> 00:43:14,220 and then I go back and tell myself not to. 595 00:43:14,325 --> 00:43:17,419 Because I just want to know what it feels like. That's all, really. 596 00:43:17,528 --> 00:43:18,722 I'm so proud. 597 00:43:19,096 --> 00:43:22,623 Finally, my husband, the hero. 598 00:43:28,873 --> 00:43:32,070 - We can't do that. - I know. 599 00:43:32,443 --> 00:43:34,138 Did you call pest control? 600 00:43:34,945 --> 00:43:38,779 Babe, they're birds. You don't want a bunch of dead baby birds up there, do you? 601 00:43:38,883 --> 00:43:42,910 - They don't sound like birds. - She thinks there are rats in the attic. 602 00:43:43,921 --> 00:43:45,912 But the idea had been spoken... 603 00:43:46,023 --> 00:43:49,151 and the words wouldn't go back after they had been uttered aloud. 604 00:43:49,260 --> 00:43:50,852 So you are understanding this, right? 605 00:43:50,961 --> 00:43:53,486 You don't have to sell me on not doing this, okay? 606 00:43:53,597 --> 00:43:56,623 - I don't think I told you... - Even if you do stop yourself... 607 00:43:56,734 --> 00:44:00,295 your double, from hitting Platts, why would he, your double, get in the box? 608 00:44:00,404 --> 00:44:03,862 And with no need for it, no possible real-world application... 609 00:44:04,174 --> 00:44:07,632 no advantage at all to be gained from it, the idea stayed. 610 00:44:08,279 --> 00:44:11,737 - How would you do it? - I wouldn't. 611 00:44:12,182 --> 00:44:14,673 - Just for fun. - I still wouldn't. 612 00:44:14,785 --> 00:44:17,618 - But what if there was a way to... - Look, Abe, look. 613 00:44:18,088 --> 00:44:21,216 I'm not going to pretend like I know anything about paradoxes... 614 00:44:21,325 --> 00:44:24,726 or what follows them, and honestly, I really don't believe in that crap. 615 00:44:24,828 --> 00:44:28,628 Kill your mom before you were born, whatever. It has to work itself out somehow. 616 00:44:28,732 --> 00:44:30,859 - I don't know. - This is what I know for sure. 617 00:44:30,968 --> 00:44:35,029 The worst thing in the world is to know that the moment you are experiencing... 618 00:44:35,139 --> 00:44:37,937 has already been defined, that this is the second... 619 00:44:38,042 --> 00:44:41,944 or third time through, or whatever. And do you ever feel like... 620 00:44:43,013 --> 00:44:46,779 I don't know, maybe things aren't right, like maybe your life is in disarray... 621 00:44:46,884 --> 00:44:51,048 or just not what you would like and you start to wonder what caused this. 622 00:44:52,256 --> 00:44:54,383 People are always blaming their parents... 623 00:44:54,491 --> 00:44:57,790 as if, if their mom had breastfed them, their lives would be different. 624 00:44:57,895 --> 00:44:59,055 Bunch of whiners. 625 00:44:59,163 --> 00:45:02,326 Yeah, they are. But what if it wasn't something you wonder about? 626 00:45:02,433 --> 00:45:05,425 What if you knew this is not the way things are supposed to be? 627 00:45:05,536 --> 00:45:09,666 I'm not like that. I'm not into the whole "destiny, there's-only-one-right-way" thing. 628 00:45:09,773 --> 00:45:11,673 I'm not, either. But what's worse? 629 00:45:11,775 --> 00:45:14,869 Thinking you're being paranoid or knowing you should be? 630 00:45:20,784 --> 00:45:23,548 You don't have to look at me like that. I'm okay. 631 00:45:29,727 --> 00:45:32,525 No, I just assumed that you would. I trust her. 632 00:45:32,630 --> 00:45:36,430 - I know that when I decided to tell you... - Decided to tell? 633 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,829 I knew that you are married and that there's no secrets. 634 00:45:39,855 --> 00:45:41,660 Anything I tell you, she'll know. 635 00:45:41,739 --> 00:45:43,291 - It's not a matter of trust. - I know. 636 00:45:43,374 --> 00:45:46,002 It's just how much better will it be if in a few days... 637 00:45:46,110 --> 00:45:49,568 I surprise her and we all just fly to Costa Rica or somewhere for a month? 638 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,207 We'll let her understand it gradually. Maybe do some real estate shopping... 639 00:45:53,317 --> 00:45:56,218 For now, you can tell her you had a good day in the market. 640 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:57,478 - You don't understand. - No. 641 00:45:57,500 --> 00:45:59,968 You don't understand the questions that come with that. 642 00:46:00,057 --> 00:46:02,582 But we'll explain it to her, and we'll take some time... 643 00:46:02,693 --> 00:46:03,887 to figure out what's next... 644 00:46:03,994 --> 00:46:07,555 which, I think, should be building a bigger box, like the size of a room... 645 00:46:07,665 --> 00:46:09,496 where more than one person could fit in. 646 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,728 Safe or not, the thing feels like a coffin the way it is. 647 00:46:13,470 --> 00:46:15,233 By the way, this is our guy. 648 00:46:16,340 --> 00:46:20,106 - What's the volume? - Five-and-a-half. 649 00:46:20,711 --> 00:46:23,339 What's the return? Holy... 650 00:46:26,183 --> 00:46:30,449 No, I can't beat that. But mainly, I guess I was just talking about Robert and Phillip. 651 00:46:30,554 --> 00:46:31,748 I don't want to tell them. 652 00:46:31,855 --> 00:46:34,119 I know they have a lot invested in the group... 653 00:46:34,224 --> 00:46:35,589 I don't want to tell them. 654 00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,924 If you need me to take the guilt on this one, fine, okay? 655 00:46:39,029 --> 00:46:40,792 I accept it gladly. It's mine. 656 00:46:40,898 --> 00:46:43,560 At the end of this week, they can have whatever they want. 657 00:46:43,667 --> 00:46:46,932 I'll turn over patent rights on everything from the last two years. 658 00:46:47,037 --> 00:46:49,403 They can have the equipment, the garage, the house. 659 00:46:49,506 --> 00:46:52,373 They can have my truck if that makes you feel better. 660 00:46:52,476 --> 00:46:55,570 But I am not telling them a thing about this. We're not. 661 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,590 God, everything is so different in there. 662 00:47:12,696 --> 00:47:14,755 You can feel how cut off you are. 663 00:47:15,099 --> 00:47:18,068 It's this entirely separate world and you encompass most of it. 664 00:47:18,168 --> 00:47:21,626 And the sound. Isn't the sound different on the inside? 665 00:47:21,805 --> 00:47:25,138 It's like it's singing. I guess you can't hear it on the outside... 666 00:47:25,242 --> 00:47:28,769 - I had this dream in there. - About what? 667 00:47:30,647 --> 00:47:35,311 I was on or near the ocean, and I just kept hearing the surf. 668 00:47:35,819 --> 00:47:37,309 It was so uneventful. 669 00:47:38,122 --> 00:47:41,091 At night. And the tide kept coming in and out. 670 00:47:53,871 --> 00:47:56,635 Come here for a second, man. What's on your hand? 671 00:47:57,207 --> 00:47:59,004 - Are you bleeding? - That is blood. 672 00:47:59,109 --> 00:48:00,667 - Turn around. - You see it? 673 00:48:00,778 --> 00:48:03,178 Where is it coming from? It's your notebook. 674 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,374 - It's you. My gosh, it's on your ear. - What is this? 675 00:48:06,717 --> 00:48:10,016 - Your ear's bleeding. Man. - Give me that. I got it. 676 00:48:13,624 --> 00:48:16,559 - Is that normal? This isn't normal. - For the machine? 677 00:48:17,394 --> 00:48:20,727 For people. You think it's the machine? I got it. 678 00:48:38,782 --> 00:48:40,841 Great. I can actually get some work done today. 679 00:48:40,951 --> 00:48:42,316 Hi, guys, what's going on? 680 00:48:42,419 --> 00:48:45,252 I always seem to get a lot more done when I'm not locked out. 681 00:48:45,355 --> 00:48:46,788 He says they had to spray again. 682 00:48:46,890 --> 00:48:49,859 But he can't tell us about it in advance. Is Hero even here? 683 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,292 You never see anything around here but those geckos. 684 00:48:52,396 --> 00:48:54,023 - I know. - I think it's for the geckos. 685 00:48:54,131 --> 00:48:55,496 - What? - Why? 686 00:48:55,666 --> 00:48:58,897 - Hey, man, thanks for the present. - How is that working out for you? 687 00:48:59,002 --> 00:49:02,733 You know what? You guys, both of you, you make fun, but there is a difference. 688 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,102 Wait. What did you call him? 689 00:49:04,208 --> 00:49:06,267 - What? - When you walked in? What did you say? 690 00:49:06,376 --> 00:49:07,843 - He didn't tell you about it? - No. 691 00:49:07,945 --> 00:49:12,075 All right. Rachel's ex-boyfriend walks into my birthday party with a shotgun. 692 00:49:12,182 --> 00:49:13,615 - What? - Swear to God. 693 00:49:13,717 --> 00:49:15,514 I've already gotten that speech from Kara. 694 00:49:15,619 --> 00:49:17,985 - Filby! - You'll get it.
