0:00 Well, this would be bad. Okay. I mean, where are you going? Where are you parked? You're going to have to go outside anyway. Okay. Thanks for inviting us to the lecture. It was very interesting. No problem. Take care. Thank you. Thanks. My pleasure. You're welcome. Thanks. I was just going to help thinking, John, of course, if something like that theory did turn up. Aristotle would have a curseful problem, wouldn't he? Because you wouldn't just be able to postulate the unit before you could stop doing all this magic. What you could postulate as a unit and do the mathematics that's needed for the physics of the 29th century would be constrained by the way that these systems couple in the nonlinear. I didn't think this was a dialogue of the deaf, did you Bill? No, I didn't think so. I didn't think so. I didn't think so. I didn't think so. I didn't think so. I didn't think so. I didn't think so. I didn't think so. I didn't think so. I didn't think so. I didn't think so. I didn't think so. I didn't think so.
2:30 I didn't think so. I didn't think so. I didn't think so. I didn't think so. I didn't think so. I didn't think so. Well, randomness presupposes the counting fractions to establish priors, and I guess in Hippolyta it really is the fundamental ontology of that of this closed system, and I guess he does think of that as giving you what you... You know, you term, using anthropomorphic language, conspiracy. It does conspire to it, but I agree, you know, that does seem a pretty boggling idea, but there isn't any more boggling than the things you have to believe in quantum physics. Conspiracy doesn't bother you. Yeah, I agree. I can advise you, give it to me. Do you know where we are? Yes, this is the place you keep coming back to, Bill. You're drawn to it. This is a ground attractor. This is a ground attractor, Science and Engineering Library. Hi, how are you? Hi, how are you?
5:00 You know where you are. How did we get here? We know exactly where we are, but more to the point, where did Alberto and Danilo go to? They went to the library. And we make the simple equation. That's right, yeah, singlet state. Yeah, and there are obviously versions where it's even more puzzling, where you've actually switched the spin of the systems in decline. He just relaxed the affirmation and then derived something which he would then present as a deep reason about the nature of being.
1:17:30 So far they don't really...
