Quanta (2019)

1
00:01:20,214 --> 00:01:22,181
Quick, quick, Tom, look!

2
00:01:22,183 --> 00:01:23,649
What are you doing? Tom, look.

3
00:01:24,351 --> 00:01:25,484
Quick, shoot it.

4
00:01:27,521 --> 00:01:29,354
Yep. Shoot it more. Over here.

5
00:01:31,325 --> 00:01:33,358
Up there,
up there in your corner.

6
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,594
- On the side. Get on the side.
- Look here.

7
00:01:35,596 --> 00:01:36,695
Yes! Oh.

8
00:01:37,631 --> 00:01:38,697
Over here. Here.

9
00:01:40,601 --> 00:01:42,201
Tom, what are you doing?

10
00:01:42,203 --> 00:01:43,635
Tom! Ugh.

11
00:01:43,637 --> 00:01:45,204
Oh.

12
00:01:49,110 --> 00:01:50,175
Good one.

13
00:01:50,177 --> 00:01:51,644
- What are you...
- Mate, mate, oy.

14
00:01:51,645 --> 00:01:53,112
- Give us the pen.
- Just give me two seconds.

15
00:01:53,114 --> 00:01:54,397
I've just
gotta write this down.

16
00:01:54,398 --> 00:01:55,681
- I'm not vandalizing.
- Give me the pen.

17
00:01:55,683 --> 00:01:56,748
Give me the pen.

18
00:01:56,750 --> 00:01:58,817
Just give me two seconds,
stop it!

19
00:01:58,819 --> 00:02:01,253
- No, no, no, mate, mate!
- You don't understand!

20
00:02:01,255 --> 00:02:03,155
I'm about
to revolutionize science!

21
00:02:03,157 --> 00:02:04,223
Get your hands off me, mate.

22
00:02:05,259 --> 00:02:06,325
The pair of yous.

23
00:02:06,327 --> 00:02:07,593
I'm calling the cops,
don't move.

24
00:02:10,664 --> 00:02:11,730
Tom, we've gotta go.

25
00:02:15,469 --> 00:02:16,535
Tom!

26
00:03:56,670 --> 00:03:58,303
<i>What is it that you don't get?</i>

27
00:03:58,305 --> 00:04:00,022
<i>I've already explained.</i>

28
00:04:00,023 --> 00:04:01,740
- <i>Can you simplify it?</i>
<i>- No, I can't simplify it.</i>

29
00:04:01,742 --> 00:04:03,125
<i>It doesn't get</i>
<i>any simpler than that.</i>

30
00:04:03,126 --> 00:04:04,509
<i>I just think</i>
<i>there's gotta be</i>

31
00:04:04,511 --> 00:04:05,819
<i>some kind of</i>
<i>intelligent civilization.</i>

32
00:04:05,820 --> 00:04:07,128
<i>No, no, no,</i>
<i>that's a completely</i>

33
00:04:07,129 --> 00:04:08,437
<i>irrational conclusion</i>
<i>to come to.</i>

34
00:04:08,438 --> 00:04:09,746
<i>It's mathematically</i>
<i>near impossible</i>

35
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:11,583
<i>that type three</i>
<i>civilizations exist.</i>

36
00:04:11,585 --> 00:04:13,418
<i>It's more likely</i>
<i>that the Dyson sphere</i>

37
00:04:13,420 --> 00:04:14,887
<i>has been created and implemented</i>

38
00:04:14,888 --> 00:04:16,355
<i>by a type two civilization.</i>

39
00:04:16,357 --> 00:04:17,990
<i>KLG Community Radio.</i>

40
00:04:17,992 --> 00:04:19,909
I have one comment to make.

41
00:04:19,910 --> 00:04:21,827
<i>I read that NASA has</i>
<i>plans to create a Dyson sphere.</i>

42
00:04:21,829 --> 00:04:24,529
Yeah, okay, and if you
believe that, you're an idiot.

43
00:04:26,683 --> 00:04:28,834
Keep your calls coming through
to <i>Tom's Terrestrial Tabloid.</i>

44
00:04:28,836 --> 00:04:30,686
I have a joke for you all.

45
00:04:30,687 --> 00:04:32,537
<i>Einstein developed</i>
<i>a theory about space</i>

46
00:04:32,539 --> 00:04:34,306
<i>and it was about time, too.</i>

47
00:04:35,843 --> 00:04:38,043
<i>You're on</i>
Tom's Terrestrial Tabloid.

48
00:04:38,045 --> 00:04:39,711
Regarding the Fermi paradox.

49
00:04:39,713 --> 00:04:41,913
Do you feel that the great
filter is ahead of us?

50
00:04:41,915 --> 00:04:43,365
<i>It must be.</i>

51
00:04:43,366 --> 00:04:44,816
It's... it's primitive thinking
to believe

52
00:04:44,818 --> 00:04:46,818
that Earth is special
or one of a kind.

53
00:04:46,820 --> 00:04:48,387
So, yes, it has to be.

54
00:04:48,389 --> 00:04:51,356
Well, with the significant
unknown variables,

55
00:04:51,358 --> 00:04:53,825
isn't it just as likely
the great filter is behind us?

56
00:04:53,827 --> 00:04:54,960
<i>We haven't found life.</i>

57
00:04:54,962 --> 00:04:56,595
No life,
not even a smidgen of life

58
00:04:56,597 --> 00:04:57,763
anywhere else in the universe.

59
00:04:57,765 --> 00:04:59,464
So, yes, it has to be.

60
00:04:59,466 --> 00:05:00,966
<i>In all honesty,</i>

61
00:05:00,968 --> 00:05:04,670
I find the notion
of a great filter unsound.

62
00:05:04,672 --> 00:05:07,039
I find it much more likely

63
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,407
<i>that physical colonization</i>
<i>is a backwards concept</i>

64
00:05:09,410 --> 00:05:11,009
<i>to a more advanced species.</i>

65
00:05:11,011 --> 00:05:12,944
Look, there is a great filter,
there has to be.

66
00:05:12,946 --> 00:05:15,497
There's no other viable option.

67
00:05:15,498 --> 00:05:18,049
<i>Unless there's plenty</i>
<i>of noise and activity out there</i>

68
00:05:18,052 --> 00:05:20,419
but our technology
is too primitive.

69
00:05:21,488 --> 00:05:23,238
We seem to have lost the caller.

70
00:05:23,239 --> 00:05:24,989
<i>And that looks like</i>
<i>it's a wrap for another week</i>

71
00:05:24,992 --> 00:05:26,658
<i>on Tom's Terrestrial Tabloid.</i>

72
00:05:26,660 --> 00:05:29,094
So be sure
to subscribe to the podcast.

73
00:05:29,096 --> 00:05:31,029
Of course, follow me
on all your social media

74
00:05:31,031 --> 00:05:33,899
and remember, watch the skies.

75
00:05:45,846 --> 00:05:47,679
It's my pleasure
to share with you all

76
00:05:47,681 --> 00:05:49,815
the potential
of what this can do.

77
00:05:49,817 --> 00:05:52,234
Uh, for those who are new,

78
00:05:52,235 --> 00:05:54,652
I'm working on alternative
spectrums of communications.

79
00:05:54,655 --> 00:05:57,622
Specifically, dark radiation.

80
00:05:57,624 --> 00:06:00,459
It is theorized that
dark radiation can offer up--

81
00:06:00,461 --> 00:06:02,894
Sorry, George, the slide.

82
00:06:02,896 --> 00:06:05,364
- Here.
- Oh. No, I've got it.

83
00:06:05,366 --> 00:06:06,431
Um...

84
00:06:07,067 --> 00:06:09,000
Okay, okay.

85
00:06:09,002 --> 00:06:13,472
So I was saying that
dark radiation is theorized

86
00:06:13,474 --> 00:06:16,375
to have a whole new spectrum.

87
00:06:16,377 --> 00:06:18,710
I've been developing
the hardware

88
00:06:18,712 --> 00:06:21,446
that will hopefully
create and isolate

89
00:06:21,448 --> 00:06:23,014
dark matter materials
in a vacuum.

90
00:06:23,016 --> 00:06:25,484
Correct me if I'm wrong.

91
00:06:25,486 --> 00:06:27,052
Isn't this
what we saw last year?

92
00:06:28,405 --> 00:06:29,755
Um...

93
00:06:31,158 --> 00:06:33,091
Well, this...

94
00:06:33,093 --> 00:06:35,026
If this can be developed...

95
00:06:35,028 --> 00:06:37,429
Hang on. "If"?

96
00:06:42,969 --> 00:06:45,403
The issue we have is that
you still don't have anything.

97
00:06:45,406 --> 00:06:46,972
No mockups, beta version.

98
00:06:46,974 --> 00:06:48,707
They don't understand
the potential.

99
00:06:48,709 --> 00:06:50,108
But the communications industry,

100
00:06:50,110 --> 00:06:52,477
we can't bank
on a potential return

101
00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:53,829
10 years away.

102
00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:55,180
We tried getting someone in
to work with you.

103
00:06:55,182 --> 00:06:56,515
You know that wouldn't work.

104
00:06:58,552 --> 00:07:00,886
We're not renewing
your contract.

105
00:07:00,888 --> 00:07:02,921
We've wasted 10 years
on this already.

106
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,895
But, hey, I managed
to talk them into allowing you

107
00:07:09,897 --> 00:07:12,931
to continue to research
on this IP in your own time.

108
00:07:12,933 --> 00:07:14,666
But just remember.

109
00:07:14,668 --> 00:07:16,701
We own the rights
once you crack it.

110
00:07:16,703 --> 00:07:17,969
We still want this to work.

111
00:07:17,971 --> 00:07:19,805
- "Need" this to work.
- I hate to say it

112
00:07:19,807 --> 00:07:22,140
but I did warn you
about this last year.

113
00:07:26,579 --> 00:07:28,145
I don't know, George.
Maybe find something new.

114
00:07:29,817 --> 00:07:31,917
Lots of people find
something meaningful to do

115
00:07:31,919 --> 00:07:33,051
in old age.

116
00:07:51,905 --> 00:07:53,472
Stop staring.

117
00:07:55,075 --> 00:07:57,876
You told me 20 years ago
that you never wanted

118
00:07:57,878 --> 00:08:00,178
to set foot
in a classroom again.

119
00:08:00,180 --> 00:08:02,781
Have you looked
at finding another backer?

120
00:08:05,519 --> 00:08:06,585
Not really.

121
00:08:07,921 --> 00:08:10,121
The IP is theirs anyway.

122
00:08:10,123 --> 00:08:12,691
You've worked so hard
to get this far.

123
00:08:12,693 --> 00:08:14,926
It'll be a shame
to throw it all away now.

124
00:08:16,897 --> 00:08:20,565
Besides, retirement is not
all it's cracked up to be.

125
00:08:22,970 --> 00:08:26,104
I just read an entire book
about ants.

126
00:08:26,940 --> 00:08:29,174
Amazingly complex.

127
00:08:29,176 --> 00:08:32,677
You know, there's these
explorer ants.

128
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,012
Usually, they get killed.

129
00:08:35,048 --> 00:08:36,982
But they're necessary

130
00:08:36,984 --> 00:08:39,017
for the advancement
of the whole colony.

131
00:08:40,988 --> 00:08:42,821
I feel like I've wasted my life.

132
00:08:43,991 --> 00:08:45,257
Amounted to nothing.

133
00:08:48,128 --> 00:08:49,194
Look.

134
00:08:51,064 --> 00:08:52,697
George, look at me.

135
00:08:54,868 --> 00:08:56,134
I know you.

136
00:08:56,837 --> 00:08:58,003
You'll be okay.

137
00:08:59,006 --> 00:09:01,006
You will find your way.

138
00:09:03,977 --> 00:09:05,110
I don't know.

139
00:10:01,034 --> 00:10:02,100
Graham?

140
00:10:03,203 --> 00:10:04,836
You'll never guess.

141
00:10:04,838 --> 00:10:06,237
I'm heading back
to the classroom.

142
00:10:07,641 --> 00:10:09,691
Yeah.

143
00:10:09,692 --> 00:10:11,742
Look, can we meet up
at the park Thursday?

144
00:10:12,279 --> 00:10:13,378
Same time.

145
00:10:14,715 --> 00:10:17,082
Shit, I see it's our mistake.

146
00:10:17,084 --> 00:10:18,783
- Doesn't surprise me.
- What?

147
00:10:19,386 --> 00:10:21,086
Surprise me.

148
00:10:21,088 --> 00:10:23,755
Well, let's see
what we can find for you.

149
00:10:23,757 --> 00:10:25,290
What's your area?

150
00:10:25,292 --> 00:10:27,258
Science, computer technology.

151
00:10:27,260 --> 00:10:29,961
Got a couple of history classes
I can give you. A half day.

152
00:10:31,732 --> 00:10:34,032
Sorry for the mistake.
Just one of those things.

153
00:10:37,070 --> 00:10:38,703
Can I have some quiet, please?

154
00:10:38,705 --> 00:10:40,488
The rules say if you're not here

155
00:10:40,489 --> 00:10:42,272
in the first 10 minutes
of class, then it's cancelled.

156
00:10:42,275 --> 00:10:44,042
Yeah, class is cancelled.

157
00:10:44,811 --> 00:10:46,461
Well, my watch says

158
00:10:46,462 --> 00:10:48,112
it was meant to start
eight minutes ago.

159
00:10:48,115 --> 00:10:49,681
I'm sorry I'm late.

160
00:10:50,884 --> 00:10:52,751
Girl with the red hair!

161
00:10:52,753 --> 00:10:54,419
Did you just call me
"girl with the red hair"?

162
00:10:54,421 --> 00:10:56,054
I need you all to listen up.

163
00:10:56,056 --> 00:10:57,122
Hey.

164
00:10:57,724 --> 00:10:58,823
Hey.

165
00:10:58,825 --> 00:11:00,291
Don't touch me!

166
00:11:00,293 --> 00:11:01,426
I'm gonna report you.

167
00:11:16,009 --> 00:11:17,942
That's right, walk away.

168
00:11:22,983 --> 00:11:24,683
I thought you were here
for the whole day.

169
00:11:25,218 --> 00:11:26,785
Nope, I'm done.

170
00:12:27,881 --> 00:12:28,947
Bugger.

171
00:13:16,229 --> 00:13:17,462
My name is George West,

172
00:13:17,464 --> 00:13:19,097
and for 29 years,

173
00:13:19,099 --> 00:13:21,299
I've been working
in computer programming

174
00:13:21,301 --> 00:13:23,034
and experimental physics.

175
00:13:23,036 --> 00:13:24,435
The focus of my career has been

176
00:13:24,437 --> 00:13:27,238
on developing a new form
of communication

177
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,974
which to my knowledge,
no one else is researching.

178
00:13:29,976 --> 00:13:31,843
You're in a room
with a bunch of other people

179
00:13:31,845 --> 00:13:33,011
all wearing blindfolds.

180
00:13:33,013 --> 00:13:34,813
Everyone is talking
over each other

181
00:13:34,815 --> 00:13:36,447
and there is someone
on the other side of the room

182
00:13:36,449 --> 00:13:38,049
that you wanna communicate with.

183
00:13:38,051 --> 00:13:39,450
<i>But you have no hope</i>
<i>of hearing them</i>

184
00:13:39,452 --> 00:13:40,885
<i>above all the noise.</i>

185
00:13:41,822 --> 00:13:44,155
So, what do you do?

186
00:13:44,157 --> 00:13:45,924
You take off the blindfold.

187
00:13:45,926 --> 00:13:47,592
<i>You communicate</i>
<i>using your eyes.</i>

188
00:13:47,594 --> 00:13:49,260
<i>Another sense.</i>

189
00:13:49,262 --> 00:13:50,829
That's essentially
what I'm doing.

190
00:13:50,831 --> 00:13:53,932
I'm creating a whole other way
that we can communicate.

191
00:13:53,934 --> 00:13:57,368
Gamma rays, X-ray, UV,
they're all dangerous to us.

192
00:13:57,370 --> 00:14:01,973
My research is looking
at the very real possibility

193
00:14:01,975 --> 00:14:06,244
of there being another spectrum
entirely untapped

194
00:14:06,246 --> 00:14:09,080
that is much larger than
the electromagnetic spectrum.

195
00:14:09,082 --> 00:14:13,351
So if my mobile phone
uses microwaves,

196
00:14:13,353 --> 00:14:15,253
could I use it
to heat up my food?

197
00:14:20,260 --> 00:14:22,060
So far, my research
has been funded

198
00:14:22,062 --> 00:14:24,062
- by a private company.
- Oztel.

199
00:14:25,866 --> 00:14:28,132
Your university
is perfectly positioned.

200
00:14:28,134 --> 00:14:29,200
I'm sold.

201
00:14:31,338 --> 00:14:33,905
I was sold before you walked in.

202
00:14:33,907 --> 00:14:36,908
Let's just say I do my homework.

203
00:14:36,910 --> 00:14:38,276
Of course,
the university would own

204
00:14:38,278 --> 00:14:40,879
the complete intellectual rights
to this property.

205
00:14:41,481 --> 00:14:43,214
You do own the rights?

206
00:14:43,617 --> 00:14:45,901
Of course.

207
00:14:45,902 --> 00:14:48,186
It'll be a 12-month contract
with quarterly progress reports.

208
00:14:48,188 --> 00:14:49,587
Twelve months?

209
00:14:49,589 --> 00:14:52,123
Consider it a trial.

210
00:14:52,125 --> 00:14:55,059
What would you expect me
to accomplish in one year?

211
00:14:56,429 --> 00:15:00,465
Of course, you can continue
teaching if you prefer.

212
00:15:23,456 --> 00:15:24,522
Graham.

213
00:15:26,559 --> 00:15:27,625
Trudy?

214
00:15:30,130 --> 00:15:31,362
What's happened?

215
00:15:35,201 --> 00:15:37,669
<i>On behalf</i>
<i>of Trudy and the family,</i>

216
00:15:37,671 --> 00:15:40,338
I would like to welcome
you all here today

217
00:15:40,340 --> 00:15:45,610
to this service of remembrance
for Graham.

218
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,347
In speaking
with Trudy this week,

219
00:15:49,349 --> 00:15:52,283
she reminded me that Graham
was the kind of person

220
00:15:52,285 --> 00:15:57,021
who did well at whatever
he put his hand to.

221
00:15:57,023 --> 00:16:00,658
We're here today, of course,
to mourn his loss.

222
00:16:00,660 --> 00:16:05,596
At the same time, we want
to remember his good qualities.

223
00:16:05,598 --> 00:16:10,101
Each of us
has only one life to live.

224
00:16:10,103 --> 00:16:13,371
We each need to think
about our legacy.

225
00:16:13,373 --> 00:16:16,708
In what way is the world
a better place

226
00:16:16,710 --> 00:16:20,411
as a result
of our own contribution?

227
00:16:20,413 --> 00:16:22,680
<i>What will</i>
<i>we remember Graham</i>

228
00:16:22,682 --> 00:16:24,449
<i>for having left behind?</i>

229
00:16:26,353 --> 00:16:27,418
<i>I'm in.</i>

230
00:16:30,056 --> 00:16:31,255
I thought you would be.

231
00:16:32,325 --> 00:16:34,692
There's one other thing.

232
00:16:34,694 --> 00:16:37,462
I know you like to work alone,
but I think it would be wise--

233
00:16:37,464 --> 00:16:39,731
With all due respect,
I am grateful.

234
00:16:39,733 --> 00:16:41,532
But it really
is just a one man--

235
00:16:41,534 --> 00:16:42,767
I'm sorry, George,
but that's the--

236
00:16:42,769 --> 00:16:45,370
But I am someone
who works best alone.

237
00:16:45,372 --> 00:16:47,439
Call him your intern.

238
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,507
Plus, given the eight years
of work to get where I am--

239
00:16:49,509 --> 00:16:50,675
Those are the terms.

240
00:16:56,149 --> 00:16:57,448
Who do you have in mind?

241
00:17:09,262 --> 00:17:11,529
Okay, final question!

242
00:17:11,531 --> 00:17:15,033
The paperboard, also known
as the Chinese takeout box,

243
00:17:15,035 --> 00:17:17,635
was invented in what country?

244
00:17:17,637 --> 00:17:19,737
Uh, I think it was
the United States.

245
00:17:21,241 --> 00:17:22,373
Not China?

246
00:17:24,244 --> 00:17:26,277
No. I'm pretty sure
it was the U.S.

247
00:17:32,118 --> 00:17:34,585
I don't know, I've never
had Chinese takeout before.

248
00:17:36,589 --> 00:17:37,655
Really?

249
00:17:38,591 --> 00:17:40,091
Well, I'm not Chinese.

250
00:17:44,431 --> 00:17:46,364
Well, maybe we should
try it sometime.

251
00:17:48,535 --> 00:17:51,235
Why would they call it Chinese?
It doesn't even make any sense.

252
00:17:51,237 --> 00:17:53,438
Okay, this calls
for sudden death

253
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,573
between team Tom and Co.

254
00:17:55,575 --> 00:17:57,775
And Better Late than Pregnant.

255
00:17:57,777 --> 00:17:59,677
Okay, so if you guys
can please choose

256
00:17:59,679 --> 00:18:01,079
a representative from the table,

257
00:18:01,081 --> 00:18:02,513
and have them come up the front,
thank you.

258
00:18:03,716 --> 00:18:06,768
Okay, sudden death.

259
00:18:06,769 --> 00:18:09,821
Uh, the first team to get
this wrong is out, okay.

260
00:18:09,823 --> 00:18:11,355
An easy one
to start off with here.

261
00:18:11,357 --> 00:18:16,260
Is gravity a force
that pushes objects apart

262
00:18:16,262 --> 00:18:18,196
or pulls them together?

263
00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:21,132
Oh, no help
from the floor, please.

264
00:18:21,134 --> 00:18:22,500
What's your answer?

265
00:18:22,502 --> 00:18:24,702
- Pulls them.
- Right, right.

266
00:18:24,704 --> 00:18:25,770
It's neither.

267
00:18:25,772 --> 00:18:29,107
Okay, one of these teams
is correct.

268
00:18:29,109 --> 00:18:31,275
Which means
that was the final question

269
00:18:31,277 --> 00:18:32,376
for this evening.

270
00:18:32,378 --> 00:18:34,378
So, can we have
a drumroll, please?

271
00:18:38,485 --> 00:18:40,551
The answer is...

272
00:18:42,655 --> 00:18:43,888
it pulls them together.

273
00:18:43,890 --> 00:18:45,290
- Oh! Yes.
- No.

274
00:18:45,291 --> 00:18:46,691
Well done, guys,
we'll get you vouchers.

275
00:18:46,693 --> 00:18:48,626
- No wait, you're wrong.
- What?

276
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:50,394
Chill out, pal.

277
00:18:50,396 --> 00:18:51,896
Gravity is not a force.

278
00:18:51,898 --> 00:18:53,598
It's a consequence
of space-time.

279
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,333
Mate, I don't write
what's on the cards.

280
00:18:55,335 --> 00:18:56,851
Stop, listen to me.

281
00:18:56,852 --> 00:18:58,368
The mass bends
the space-time around it.

282
00:18:58,371 --> 00:19:00,271
- Yeah, take it easy, mate.
- Einstein proved it.

283
00:19:00,273 --> 00:19:01,739
Hey, mate, just take mine.

284
00:19:01,740 --> 00:19:03,206
I don't care about that.
It's not about that.

285
00:19:03,209 --> 00:19:05,176
You guys were wrong,
I was right.

286
00:19:05,178 --> 00:19:07,645
Look, you just have to accept
what was on the cards.

287
00:19:07,647 --> 00:19:09,147
- It's done, it's over.
- I'm not coming back.

288
00:19:09,149 --> 00:19:11,415
Hey, I can get you a voucher...

289
00:19:11,417 --> 00:19:12,783
Wait, just calm down.

290
00:19:27,834 --> 00:19:29,634
I have a radio show.

291
00:19:29,636 --> 00:19:30,768
Radio show?

292
00:19:30,770 --> 00:19:32,170
Yeah, it's really good.

293
00:19:32,172 --> 00:19:33,905
I call it,
<i>Tom's Terrestrial Tabloid.</i>

294
00:19:33,907 --> 00:19:35,239
It's quite intelligent.

295
00:19:36,376 --> 00:19:37,441
I see.

296
00:19:38,545 --> 00:19:40,545
Budding celebrity scientist.

297
00:19:40,847 --> 00:19:43,131
Yeah.

298
00:19:43,132 --> 00:19:45,416
Yeah, I'll most likely have
my own TV show at some point.

299
00:19:45,418 --> 00:19:48,853
World tours, books,
websites, that sort of thing.

300
00:19:50,657 --> 00:19:51,822
Interesting.

301
00:19:52,926 --> 00:19:55,193
I have two PhDs.

302
00:19:55,195 --> 00:19:57,295
One PhD was enough for me.

303
00:19:57,297 --> 00:19:59,730
I suppose that makes me
more educated than you.

304
00:20:04,537 --> 00:20:05,703
So this is it.

305
00:20:10,243 --> 00:20:12,610
What have we got here?

306
00:20:12,612 --> 00:20:15,613
The transmitter
and the receiver.

307
00:20:19,586 --> 00:20:20,718
Who's Graham?

308
00:20:21,921 --> 00:20:23,487
An old friend.

309
00:20:23,489 --> 00:20:24,689
You worked together?

310
00:20:26,926 --> 00:20:28,359
Something like that.

311
00:20:29,996 --> 00:20:31,429
Let me show you what I've got.

312
00:20:34,867 --> 00:20:37,435
This is where I get stuck.

313
00:20:37,437 --> 00:20:39,937
I can't get this damn thing
to send the signal

314
00:20:39,939 --> 00:20:43,574
from the transmitter
to the receiver.

315
00:21:19,379 --> 00:21:20,678
Fuck off.

316
00:21:26,919 --> 00:21:29,553
<i>First step is creating</i>
<i>a stable transmission</i>

317
00:21:29,555 --> 00:21:32,590
<i>of the signal from the</i>
<i>transmitter to the receiver.</i>

318
00:21:32,592 --> 00:21:33,758
<i>And the end game?</i>

319
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,426
<i>It will completely change</i>

320
00:21:35,428 --> 00:21:37,862
<i>how we communicate</i>
<i>with each other.</i>

321
00:21:37,864 --> 00:21:43,467
<i>E-mail, text, video calls,</i>
<i>all outdated instantly.</i>

322
00:21:43,469 --> 00:21:46,771
<i>If this simple signal can be</i>
<i>sent between these two machines,</i>

323
00:21:46,773 --> 00:21:49,573
<i>then we have proven</i>
<i>that dark radiation exists.</i>

324
00:21:51,711 --> 00:21:53,811
<i>What information</i>
<i>is in the signal?</i>

325
00:21:53,813 --> 00:21:55,313
<i>It's a sine wave.</i>

326
00:21:55,315 --> 00:21:58,382
<i>Instant and near</i>
<i>infinite data transfer</i>

327
00:21:58,384 --> 00:22:00,451

328

<i>If we can do it,</i>
<i>the license on the tech</i>

329
00:22:02,322 --> 00:22:04,422
<i>would have to be</i>

330
00:22:04,423 --> 00:22:06,523
<i>Maybe, but let's not</i>
<i>get ahead of ourselves.</i>

331
00:22:06,526 --> 00:22:08,426
- <i>The maths checks out.</i>
- <i>It's not stable.</i>

332
00:22:08,428 --> 00:22:09,927
<i>Then push it harder.</i>

333
00:22:14,701 --> 00:22:16,434
<i>In my last video, I told you</i>

334
00:22:16,436 --> 00:22:18,803
<i>that I was starting</i>
<i>to research dark radiation.</i>

335
00:22:18,805 --> 00:22:20,971

336

<i>has limitless implications</i>

337
00:22:22,975 --> 00:22:24,759
<i>and communication industries.</i>

338
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,544
<i>Make sure</i>
<i>you don't put this on the radio</i>

339
00:22:26,546 --> 00:22:27,712
<i>or anywhere else.</i>

340
00:22:27,714 --> 00:22:29,380
<i>Not until we know what we have.</i>

341
00:22:36,622 --> 00:22:38,656
<i>I found</i>
<i>your YouTube channel.</i>

342
00:22:38,658 --> 00:22:40,758
It'll grow,
I've only just started.

343
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,593
Six subscribers.

344
00:22:42,595 --> 00:22:44,428
Any attention's
better than none.

345
00:22:45,431 --> 00:22:46,764
You have to take it down.

346
00:22:46,766 --> 00:22:49,700
- What, why?
- Take it down.

347
00:22:49,702 --> 00:22:51,936
We don't know what we have yet.

348
00:22:51,938 --> 00:22:54,538
- What do you mean?
- We need more testing.

349
00:22:55,541 --> 00:22:58,709
Don't be ignorant.
This is science.

350
00:22:58,711 --> 00:23:01,078
- Just take it down, all right?
- All right.

351
00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:08,419
It can't be
from anything else, right?

352
00:23:09,422 --> 00:23:10,788
So let's try again.

353
00:23:11,958 --> 00:23:13,023
Hang on.

354
00:23:15,695 --> 00:23:17,395
I know this.

355
00:23:17,396 --> 00:23:19,096
<i>I once estimated</i>
<i>the curvature of the universe</i>

356
00:23:19,098 --> 00:23:21,432
<i>using the predicated</i>
<i>matter density at the time.</i>

357
00:23:21,434 --> 00:23:23,284
<i>They should give us</i>
<i>the ability to send</i>

358
00:23:23,285 --> 00:23:25,135
<i>a dark radiation signal</i>
<i>the distance required</i>

359
00:23:25,138 --> 00:23:26,837
<i>from the transmitter</i>
<i>to the receiver.</i>

360
00:23:34,147 --> 00:23:35,413
Try that.

361
00:23:46,893 --> 00:23:49,093
We have dark radiation.

362
00:23:49,095 --> 00:23:51,028
The future
ain't what it used to be.

363
00:23:52,632 --> 00:23:54,632
- Hey, princess.
- This is Alicia.

364
00:23:55,835 --> 00:23:57,968
Oh, nice to meet you.

365
00:23:57,970 --> 00:24:00,137
You know, you should
have introduced us, Tom.

366
00:24:00,139 --> 00:24:01,972
All right, let's start.

367
00:24:03,609 --> 00:24:06,010
Did you hear about
Marian's new book deal?

368
00:24:06,012 --> 00:24:07,178
It got read by Penguin.

369
00:24:07,180 --> 00:24:09,180
Said it should get picked up.

370
00:24:09,182 --> 00:24:11,366
It's kind of a big deal.

371
00:24:11,367 --> 00:24:13,551
Yeah, but you haven't signed
any contracts yet.

372
00:24:13,553 --> 00:24:15,920
Well, no, not yet.

373
00:24:15,922 --> 00:24:18,155
You know I'm working on
some pretty interesting stuff

374
00:24:18,157 --> 00:24:19,490
at the moment.

375
00:24:19,491 --> 00:24:20,824
Oh, yeah, you've got
that internship, haven't you?

376
00:24:20,827 --> 00:24:22,226
Well, I hope
they're going to give you

377
00:24:22,228 --> 00:24:23,794
a well-paying job
at the end of it.

378
00:24:23,796 --> 00:24:25,763
It's not about the money.

379
00:24:25,764 --> 00:24:27,731
Well, I'm just saying
you have to be responsible.

380
00:24:27,733 --> 00:24:29,200
You've got other people
to think of.

381
00:24:29,202 --> 00:24:31,101
You know, this work
I'm doing at the moment,

382
00:24:31,103 --> 00:24:33,204
it's, uh, it's pretty big.

383
00:24:33,206 --> 00:24:34,939
Do you remember
when Tom made that watch

384
00:24:34,941 --> 00:24:36,707
and you stuck the speaker to it?

385
00:24:36,709 --> 00:24:38,242
Do you remember that?
And the microphone?

386
00:24:38,244 --> 00:24:39,777
When did he do that?

387
00:24:39,779 --> 00:24:41,512
Hello? Hello?

388
00:24:41,514 --> 00:24:44,748
He never did get that
ear-piece happening, did he?

389
00:24:44,750 --> 00:24:45,983
Everyone walking around
with their wrists

390
00:24:45,985 --> 00:24:47,451
stuck to their ears.

391
00:24:47,452 --> 00:24:48,918
Hello? Wait, I can't hear you!

392
00:24:51,691 --> 00:24:52,823
He's having fun, isn't he?

393
00:24:57,029 --> 00:24:58,496
Just take a joke, Tom.

394
00:25:04,003 --> 00:25:05,669
You know what I don't get?

395
00:25:05,671 --> 00:25:06,971
How you all support Marian

396
00:25:06,973 --> 00:25:08,556
and her little
book writing thing

397
00:25:08,557 --> 00:25:10,140
which, let's be honest,
is probably gonna go nowhere.

398
00:25:10,142 --> 00:25:11,475
- Tom.
- I mean, how many writers

399
00:25:11,476 --> 00:25:12,809
are out there thinking
they're gonna break through?

400
00:25:12,812 --> 00:25:14,712
But none of you,
not a single one of you,

401
00:25:14,714 --> 00:25:16,180
know anything about
what I'm doing.

402
00:25:16,181 --> 00:25:17,647
You've always thought
that you were better than us

403
00:25:17,650 --> 00:25:19,183
and smarter than us.

404
00:25:19,185 --> 00:25:20,684
Yeah.

405
00:25:20,686 --> 00:25:21,752
'Cause I am.

406
00:25:22,889 --> 00:25:24,021
Come on, let's go.

407
00:25:40,606 --> 00:25:43,207
So, what's the
announcement strategy?

408
00:25:43,209 --> 00:25:45,576
I think I'll hold off on that
for a bit.

409
00:25:47,179 --> 00:25:49,580
I've had some stuff
published online before.

410
00:25:50,750 --> 00:25:52,950
- As I just said--
- I'm just...

411
00:25:52,952 --> 00:25:55,319
I'm saying, what's the point
if we just keep it to ourselves?

412
00:26:01,294 --> 00:26:02,893
What's your plan?

413
00:26:02,895 --> 00:26:04,562
The proper procedures, Tom.

414
00:26:05,765 --> 00:26:07,631
We continue testing.

415
00:26:07,633 --> 00:26:10,334
We cross check,
make sure all claims are backed

416
00:26:10,336 --> 00:26:13,337
with multiple verified sources
and first-hand results.

417
00:26:13,339 --> 00:26:16,106
We get an independent
third party to verify.

418
00:26:16,108 --> 00:26:17,341
But we do it right.

419
00:26:17,343 --> 00:26:19,944
And eventually,
we release it into a journal.

420
00:26:19,946 --> 00:26:21,345
- A journal?
- We are at...

421
00:26:21,347 --> 00:26:23,714
For what,
three academics to read?

422
00:26:23,716 --> 00:26:25,115
No, fuck that. It's outdated,

423
00:26:25,117 --> 00:26:26,250
and everything
gets leaked online

424
00:26:29,855 --> 00:26:31,422
before announcement these days.

425
00:26:31,423 --> 00:26:32,990
At the moment, we have control
over how the story gets shared.

426
00:26:32,992 --> 00:26:34,959
I have a strategy that'll
give us maximum exposure--

427
00:26:34,961 --> 00:26:36,260
Hold up, hold up!

428
00:26:37,296 --> 00:26:39,229
This isn't a publicity stunt.

429
00:26:39,231 --> 00:26:41,031
All we've been able to do so far

430
00:26:41,033 --> 00:26:43,867
is send and receive a signal
two meters across the room.

431
00:26:43,869 --> 00:26:45,302
Anything we claim,

432
00:26:45,304 --> 00:26:48,639
respected scientists are going
to try and prove wrong.

433
00:26:49,241 --> 00:26:51,108
We must be watertight.

434
00:26:51,110 --> 00:26:52,977
And they will come at it
from every angle.

435
00:26:52,979 --> 00:26:54,278
Well, fuck them.

436
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,381
No, Tom, we don't.

437
00:26:57,383 --> 00:26:59,316
We could sell what we have
to a tech company

438
00:26:59,318 --> 00:27:00,918
right now for millions.

439
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,653
- Let me tell you a story.
- Your stories suck.

440
00:27:02,655 --> 00:27:03,787
Well, you're going to listen.

441
00:27:05,191 --> 00:27:08,258
I spent six years working
at Wittcom.

442
00:27:08,260 --> 00:27:11,061
We developed wireless charging
for mobile devices,

443
00:27:11,063 --> 00:27:14,064
batteries, phones, prototypes.

444
00:27:14,066 --> 00:27:15,232
We had them.

445
00:27:15,234 --> 00:27:17,101
And then my partner, my...

446
00:27:18,270 --> 00:27:19,770
He took pictures.

447
00:27:20,339 --> 00:27:21,839
He posted them online.

448
00:27:21,841 --> 00:27:23,407
The media mocked
how they looked

449
00:27:23,409 --> 00:27:25,709
because they were
ugly prototypes.

450
00:27:25,711 --> 00:27:27,244
So we rushed the launch.

451
00:27:27,246 --> 00:27:30,047
We didn't do enough testing,
the batteries caught fire.

452
00:27:30,049 --> 00:27:32,349
Over 20 people
got third-degree burns.

453
00:27:32,351 --> 00:27:35,085
They only spent three months
on the shelves, so no!

454
00:27:35,087 --> 00:27:37,187
I am not going to rush this.

455
00:27:45,097 --> 00:27:46,697
You finish calibrating.

456
00:28:30,409 --> 00:28:33,043
You need to come back, now.

457
00:28:41,787 --> 00:28:43,854
Tell me exactly
what happened.

458
00:28:43,856 --> 00:28:45,355
- Well, I--
- Wait a second.

459
00:28:47,993 --> 00:28:49,460
You're recording?

460
00:28:49,462 --> 00:28:51,229
What happened?

461
00:28:51,230 --> 00:28:52,997
Well, I was about
to shut down the receiver

462
00:28:52,998 --> 00:28:54,765
and I just angled it this way
and it was facing the window

463
00:28:54,767 --> 00:28:56,166
- and then all of a--
- Don't touch it.

464
00:29:10,983 --> 00:29:12,182
What's it picking up?

465
00:29:13,853 --> 00:29:15,919
That filled up in, like,
half a second.

466
00:29:35,841 --> 00:29:37,241
<i>We've got</i>
<i>verifiable evidence</i>

467
00:29:37,243 --> 00:29:39,260
<i>of a stable transmission signal</i>

468
00:29:39,261 --> 00:29:41,278
<i>in a previously theoretical</i>
<i>energy spectrum in the lab.</i>

469
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,881
<i>However, today,</i>
<i>we briefly received a signal</i>

470
00:29:43,883 --> 00:29:46,283
<i>originating from outside</i>
<i>the lab instantly filling up</i>

471
00:29:46,285 --> 00:29:47,885
<i>our hard drives.</i>

472
00:29:47,886 --> 00:29:49,486
<i>The source of the signal</i>
<i>is currently unknown</i>

473
00:29:49,487 --> 00:29:51,087
<i>as the receiver</i>
<i>was accidentally pointing</i>

474
00:29:51,090 --> 00:29:52,189
<i>towards the sky,</i>

475
00:29:52,191 --> 00:29:53,957
<i>but further tests to come.</i>

476
00:29:56,395 --> 00:29:57,828
<i>So quick update.</i>

477
00:29:57,829 --> 00:29:59,262
<i>We realized the receiver</i>
<i>needed focusing</i>

478
00:29:59,265 --> 00:30:00,614
<i>which we've modified</i>

479
00:30:00,615 --> 00:30:01,964
<i>and that we needed</i>
<i>to track the source</i>

480
00:30:01,967 --> 00:30:03,517
<i>as it moves across</i>
<i>the skies.</i>

481
00:30:03,518 --> 00:30:05,068
<i>So tonight's the test</i>
<i>to see if we can track</i>

482
00:30:05,070 --> 00:30:05,969
<i>this moving signal.</i>

483
00:30:13,913 --> 00:30:15,245
And now we wait.

484
00:30:18,584 --> 00:30:20,384
Tell me.

485
00:30:20,386 --> 00:30:23,020
You have a lot of education.

486
00:30:23,022 --> 00:30:25,589
How is it that you haven't found
the right vocation yet?

487
00:30:32,264 --> 00:30:34,198
I don't really do well
with people.

488
00:30:36,135 --> 00:30:37,401
I mean you're okay.

489
00:30:37,403 --> 00:30:40,170
Your positives outweigh
your negatives, but...

490
00:30:40,172 --> 00:30:43,207
most people,
they just get in my way.

491
00:30:44,877 --> 00:30:47,411
My second PhD,
they tried to stop me.

492
00:30:47,413 --> 00:30:49,546
I was trying
to disprove Einstein.

493
00:30:49,548 --> 00:30:50,614
Could you?

494
00:30:53,252 --> 00:30:54,418
He's a tough man to beat.

495
00:30:57,356 --> 00:30:58,422
For me...

496
00:31:00,626 --> 00:31:03,927
I always wanted to contribute
in some kind of way.

497
00:31:03,929 --> 00:31:06,163
Some say they find that
in having kids.

498
00:31:07,032 --> 00:31:08,298
I have a son.

499
00:31:10,603 --> 00:31:12,569
We don't really
have much contact.

500
00:31:13,439 --> 00:31:15,105
Nothing happened, we just...

501
00:31:16,041 --> 00:31:17,207
We just don't talk.

502
00:31:18,043 --> 00:31:20,461
I guess, at some point,

503
00:31:20,462 --> 00:31:22,880
this work just became
more important to me.

504
00:31:25,384 --> 00:31:27,017
You found
what was more important.

505
00:31:28,654 --> 00:31:30,020
There'll always be
plenty of people

506
00:31:30,022 --> 00:31:31,421
but not many worth remembering.

507
00:31:44,904 --> 00:31:46,103
Clear line of sight.

508
00:31:50,042 --> 00:31:51,108
Receiving.

509
00:31:53,112 --> 00:31:54,912
We found it.

510
00:31:54,914 --> 00:31:56,179
We found the source.

511
00:31:58,183 --> 00:31:59,416
Who are they?

512
00:32:17,036 --> 00:32:18,936
- Catherine.
- George.

513
00:32:21,607 --> 00:32:24,408
First of all,
I need 100 % assurance

514
00:32:24,410 --> 00:32:27,678
that this conversation
stays between us.

515
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,646
Of course.

516
00:32:29,648 --> 00:32:34,418
If I gave you a code,
a signal, a waveform.

517
00:32:34,420 --> 00:32:35,719
Could you decipher it?

518
00:32:58,243 --> 00:32:59,643
I think
there might be a story.

519
00:32:59,645 --> 00:33:01,011
I really think the newspapers

520
00:33:01,013 --> 00:33:02,312
are gonna be
really interested in this.

521
00:33:02,314 --> 00:33:04,648
- Wow.
- Hello. Can I help you?

522
00:33:05,484 --> 00:33:06,984
Hi, I'm Monique.

523
00:33:07,553 --> 00:33:09,286
George.

524
00:33:09,288 --> 00:33:10,354
What brings you here?

525
00:33:10,356 --> 00:33:12,689
I saw a clip of Tom's, actually,

526
00:33:12,691 --> 00:33:14,458
of some really
cool science stuff.

527
00:33:14,460 --> 00:33:16,159
It looks really interesting.

528
00:33:16,161 --> 00:33:17,594
I think there might be
a story here.

529
00:33:17,596 --> 00:33:19,129
Actually, I'd prefer we didn't.

530
00:33:19,131 --> 00:33:21,131
Oh, maybe we can find
another time

531
00:33:21,133 --> 00:33:23,333
that suits all of us.

532
00:33:23,335 --> 00:33:26,203
We don't have much
to report on at the moment

533
00:33:26,205 --> 00:33:28,005
but if you wanna leave
your name, details.

534
00:33:28,007 --> 00:33:30,391
Look, if you're willing,

535
00:33:30,392 --> 00:33:32,776
I'd be really excited to write
something up on my website.

536
00:33:32,778 --> 00:33:35,112
I'm sorry, I didn't catch
who you work for.

537
00:33:35,114 --> 00:33:38,515
I freelance
to various media outlets.

538
00:33:40,085 --> 00:33:42,085
As I said, we'll let you know.

539
00:33:57,736 --> 00:33:59,269
What was that about?

540
00:34:01,540 --> 00:34:03,473
I don't know.
She just dropped by.

541
00:34:04,410 --> 00:34:05,642
What was she doing here?

542
00:34:06,578 --> 00:34:08,378
I said I don't know.

543
00:34:08,380 --> 00:34:11,548
- What did you tell her?
- I didn't say anything.

544
00:34:11,550 --> 00:34:13,216
She said you were
telling her about--

545
00:34:13,218 --> 00:34:15,268
I didn't say anything specific.

546
00:34:15,269 --> 00:34:17,319
I was just using big words
she wouldn't understand.

547
00:34:17,322 --> 00:34:18,555
Until she Googles them!

548
00:34:23,195 --> 00:34:25,429
Not a word to anybody.

549
00:34:26,565 --> 00:34:27,631
Understand?

550
00:34:29,735 --> 00:34:30,801
Sure.

551
00:34:52,324 --> 00:34:53,623
So here it is.

552
00:34:57,729 --> 00:34:59,096
It's intelligent.

553
00:35:01,433 --> 00:35:03,200
We found intelligent life.

554
00:35:16,548 --> 00:35:19,116
Given the nature
of what we're dealing with,

555
00:35:19,118 --> 00:35:20,417
we need to be sensitive

556
00:35:20,419 --> 00:35:22,352
with what we share
with other people.

557
00:35:22,354 --> 00:35:24,421
So it would be better
for everyone

558
00:35:25,457 --> 00:35:27,591
if you fill this in.

559
00:35:27,593 --> 00:35:28,692
What's this?

560
00:35:28,694 --> 00:35:30,127
University requirements.

561
00:35:30,662 --> 00:35:31,761
Have you signed one?

562
00:35:32,698 --> 00:35:34,131
It's a little different for me

563
00:35:34,133 --> 00:35:37,200
given that it was my project
to begin with.

564
00:35:37,202 --> 00:35:39,569
I'll have a look over it
and get back to you.

565
00:35:39,571 --> 00:35:41,571
I might get you
to fill that in right now

566
00:35:41,573 --> 00:35:42,639
if you don't mind.

567
00:35:46,578 --> 00:35:49,312
There's another favor
I need to ask you.

568
00:35:49,314 --> 00:35:51,314
I need the lab to myself
for a few days.

569
00:35:51,316 --> 00:35:52,449
Why?

570
00:35:53,152 --> 00:35:55,252
Just to do some coding.

571
00:35:55,254 --> 00:35:57,854
I can stay out of your way.
I'll just put my headphones in.

572
00:35:57,856 --> 00:35:59,623
I can't have you here.

573
00:35:59,625 --> 00:36:01,191
I can't say
any more than that.

574
00:36:39,631 --> 00:36:40,697
Can I help you?

575
00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:42,566
Hi, I'm Alicia.

576
00:36:43,936 --> 00:36:45,202
Tom's girlfriend.

577
00:36:46,605 --> 00:36:47,904
Is he here?

578
00:36:47,906 --> 00:36:49,639
I let him knock off early.

579
00:36:49,641 --> 00:36:50,740
Oh, he didn't tell me.

580
00:36:52,945 --> 00:36:54,778
I bought Chinese takeaway.

581
00:36:56,281 --> 00:36:58,582
Oh, well, I'll find him
at home, I guess.

582
00:37:01,954 --> 00:37:04,621
I heard Monique
dropped by today.

583
00:37:04,623 --> 00:37:07,891
- The journalist?
- Hopefully one day.

584
00:37:07,893 --> 00:37:08,959
If someone gives her a job.

585
00:37:09,828 --> 00:37:10,894
Tom knows her?

586
00:37:10,896 --> 00:37:12,562
Yeah, since high school.

587
00:37:14,499 --> 00:37:17,267
You know,
he really loves it here.

588
00:37:17,269 --> 00:37:18,735
Is that right?

589
00:37:18,737 --> 00:37:20,003
It's all he ever talks about.

590
00:37:21,473 --> 00:37:22,706
He'd never admit it,

591
00:37:22,708 --> 00:37:25,008
but he actually
really respects you.

592
00:37:25,010 --> 00:37:26,977
Oh, well.

593
00:37:28,914 --> 00:37:30,480
Thank you.

594
00:37:30,482 --> 00:37:31,982
That's very kind of you.

595
00:37:33,619 --> 00:37:34,985
Anyway...

596
00:37:36,588 --> 00:37:37,721
Bye.

597
00:38:02,814 --> 00:38:04,581
That reporter seemed nice.

598
00:38:04,583 --> 00:38:05,782
Yeah, I guess.

599
00:38:05,784 --> 00:38:07,484
You haven't heard
from her again?

600
00:38:07,486 --> 00:38:08,585
No.

601
00:38:08,587 --> 00:38:10,353
Tom.

602
00:38:10,355 --> 00:38:12,322
- I know you know her.
- What?

603
00:38:12,324 --> 00:38:15,392
Let me make one thing
positively clear.

604
00:38:15,394 --> 00:38:17,927
We have something
truly extraordinary.

605
00:38:17,929 --> 00:38:20,497
It is just you and me
who have it.

606
00:38:20,499 --> 00:38:22,966
We need to be absolutely prudent
with our handling of this.

607
00:38:22,968 --> 00:38:26,403
If we make one wrong move,
we jeopardize everything.

608
00:38:26,405 --> 00:38:28,355
How long
do you expect me to wait?

609
00:38:28,356 --> 00:38:30,306
We have received
50 terabytes of information

610
00:38:30,309 --> 00:38:33,410
never before heard by anyone
in the history of humankind.

611
00:38:33,412 --> 00:38:35,028
Hold on.

612
00:38:35,029 --> 00:38:36,645
All we have is a scattered
signal of white noise.

613
00:38:37,883 --> 00:38:39,349
Right?

614
00:38:41,420 --> 00:38:43,086
I have something to show you.

615
00:38:46,325 --> 00:38:47,691
Holy fuck.

616
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:49,993
Yup.

617
00:38:49,995 --> 00:38:53,330
Everything about the universe.

618
00:38:53,332 --> 00:38:56,566
Quantum mechanics,
inorganic chemistry.

619
00:38:56,568 --> 00:38:59,002
Metaphysics, everything.

620
00:39:00,105 --> 00:39:01,838
And we're only getting started.

621
00:39:03,642 --> 00:39:05,909
You kept this from me?

622
00:39:05,911 --> 00:39:08,011
You wanna talk about trust
and honesty and confidence--

623
00:39:08,013 --> 00:39:09,446
Don't start.

624
00:39:10,749 --> 00:39:12,582
I have to go.

625
00:39:12,583 --> 00:39:14,416
But we can talk more about this
when I get back.

626
00:39:14,419 --> 00:39:16,820
You know, there are others
out there researching this, too.

627
00:39:17,723 --> 00:39:19,556
What do you mean?

628
00:39:19,558 --> 00:39:20,890
We're not the only ones.

629
00:39:22,027 --> 00:39:24,060
Monique told me
about some group in Belgium

630
00:39:24,062 --> 00:39:26,096
that are exploring this, too.

631
00:39:26,098 --> 00:39:28,832
Except they don't have
stable dark radiation yet.

632
00:39:28,834 --> 00:39:30,100
It's not a race.

633
00:39:30,102 --> 00:39:31,835
But we can talk more
when I get back.

634
00:39:31,837 --> 00:39:33,737
It is a race.

635
00:39:33,739 --> 00:39:35,939
No one's gonna care
if we come second.

636
00:39:35,941 --> 00:39:37,941
And you're just
casually holding the...

637
00:39:38,710 --> 00:39:41,478
Do you know what?

638
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,446
I just can't fucking believe
you wouldn't tell me,

639
00:39:43,448 --> 00:39:44,748
and you're just sitting
on this like no one

640
00:39:44,750 --> 00:39:46,616
could beat us to it.

641
00:39:46,618 --> 00:39:48,651
Well, you're not helping
with that radio show either.

642
00:39:52,791 --> 00:39:54,023
This is fucked.

643
00:39:58,997 --> 00:40:00,630
<i>It's pretty mind blowing.</i>

644
00:40:00,632 --> 00:40:02,148
<i>And it makes me wonder,</i>

645
00:40:02,149 --> 00:40:03,665
<i>did all the greatest scientists</i>
<i>know what they had</i>

646
00:40:03,668 --> 00:40:05,652
<i>when they made</i>
<i>their discoveries?</i>

647
00:40:05,653 --> 00:40:07,637
<i>I mean, did they really grasp</i>
<i>what they had</i>

648
00:40:07,639 --> 00:40:09,206
<i>and what to do with it?</i>

649
00:40:09,207 --> 00:40:10,774
<i>That's what</i>
<i>we've gotta figure out.</i>

650
00:40:10,776 --> 00:40:13,576
<i>Anyway, that's a wrap for</i>
<i>Tom's Terrestrial Tabloid.</i>

651
00:40:13,578 --> 00:40:15,812
<i>So be sure to subscribe</i>
<i>to the podcast.</i>

652
00:40:15,814 --> 00:40:17,580
<i>Follow me</i>
<i>on all your social media</i>

653
00:40:17,582 --> 00:40:19,816
<i>and remember, watch the skies.</i>

654
00:40:28,860 --> 00:40:29,993
I found something.

655
00:40:33,565 --> 00:40:34,631
I got mice.

656
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,466
Perfect.

657
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:56,653
And what are
we gonna teach him, Professor X?

658
00:40:56,655 --> 00:40:58,121
Problem solving skills.

659
00:40:58,123 --> 00:41:00,590
And what does that look like
in mice?

660
00:41:02,994 --> 00:41:05,762
I honestly don't know.

661
00:41:05,764 --> 00:41:08,097
It's definitely
reversible, isn't it?

662
00:41:08,099 --> 00:41:10,667
Theoretically, we can extract
the information.

663
00:41:14,506 --> 00:41:16,139
Here we go.

664
00:41:42,534 --> 00:41:43,700
Too much?

665
00:41:46,137 --> 00:41:47,670
Let's find out.

666
00:41:51,209 --> 00:41:52,275
Ready?

667
00:42:08,527 --> 00:42:09,792
It's working.

668
00:42:09,794 --> 00:42:11,794
We actually made it smarter.

669
00:42:12,831 --> 00:42:13,897
Next level.

670
00:42:16,568 --> 00:42:18,001
Human testing.

671
00:42:18,003 --> 00:42:19,936
Don't even think about it.

672
00:42:19,938 --> 00:42:22,171
It's too much
for an adult.

673
00:42:22,173 --> 00:42:24,073
The brain would need
to be malleable.

674
00:42:25,076 --> 00:42:26,276
Like a child.

675
00:42:31,049 --> 00:42:33,750
So what I need right now
is to get this information out

676
00:42:33,752 --> 00:42:34,951
to as many people as possible.

677
00:42:36,655 --> 00:42:38,588
Right now,
you have no followers.

678
00:42:41,126 --> 00:42:44,060
Yeah. I have been doing
all the right things.

679
00:42:44,062 --> 00:42:45,895
You know,
I post at the right times,

680
00:42:45,897 --> 00:42:47,497
I hashtag,

681
00:42:47,498 --> 00:42:49,098
I'm across all different
social media channels.

682
00:42:49,100 --> 00:42:50,567
It's just not working.

683
00:42:50,569 --> 00:42:51,834
I can help you with that,
I promise.

684
00:42:51,836 --> 00:42:52,936
That's what I'm here for.

685
00:42:58,109 --> 00:43:01,110
So, um, what's Alicia up to?

686
00:43:01,780 --> 00:43:02,845
Uh...

687
00:43:04,749 --> 00:43:06,316
She's working, I think.

688
00:43:06,318 --> 00:43:09,652
Is she the type of person
that would be weird about this?

689
00:43:10,221 --> 00:43:11,788
About what?

690
00:43:11,790 --> 00:43:14,891
You know, us hanging out...

691
00:43:15,627 --> 00:43:16,726
alone.

692
00:43:18,363 --> 00:43:19,629
Mmm.

693
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,334
I would really love
to write this story.

694
00:43:24,336 --> 00:43:26,636
Give me a chance
to put my uni debt to use.

695
00:43:27,672 --> 00:43:29,172
You really want it, don't you?

696
00:43:31,743 --> 00:43:33,309
Give me
something to write about.

697
00:43:36,715 --> 00:43:37,981
<i>Okay, so it's just</i>
<i>a small amount</i>

698
00:43:37,983 --> 00:43:39,082
<i>of data to begin with.</i>

699
00:43:39,084 --> 00:43:40,967
<i>Only 0.3 megabytes.</i>

700
00:43:40,968 --> 00:43:42,851
<i>It shouldn't have too much</i>
<i>of a meaningful effect.</i>

701
00:45:04,903 --> 00:45:06,035
Let me guess.

702
00:45:07,005 --> 00:45:08,705
Not the usual short black.

703
00:45:11,142 --> 00:45:12,975
Tea.

704
00:45:12,977 --> 00:45:15,278
You ordered an herbal tea.

705
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:19,782
Let me see, lemongrass, no,
peppermint, chamomile,

706
00:45:19,784 --> 00:45:21,784
dandelion, ginger.

707
00:45:21,786 --> 00:45:23,419
You ordered a ginger tea.

708
00:45:23,421 --> 00:45:25,855
Well, you'll have
to wait and see.

709
00:45:25,857 --> 00:45:27,857
What's happened is
you've experienced some success

710
00:45:27,859 --> 00:45:29,192
which has increased
your confidence

711
00:45:29,194 --> 00:45:30,927
therefore allowing you
the mental freedom

712
00:45:30,929 --> 00:45:32,328
to take risks,
even if it's as minute

713
00:45:32,330 --> 00:45:34,330
as sampling
an untried hot beverage.

714
00:45:42,073 --> 00:45:44,040
Have you ever wondered
how what you do

715
00:45:44,042 --> 00:45:45,942
affects other people around you?

716
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,114
One hundred years
after you're dead,

717
00:45:53,518 --> 00:45:54,884
no one will know you.

718
00:45:58,990 --> 00:46:00,156
Tom.

719
00:46:01,092 --> 00:46:03,326
- The internet.
- What?

720
00:46:03,328 --> 00:46:05,328
That's why we have the internet.

721
00:46:07,132 --> 00:46:08,364
Ginger tea.

722
00:46:08,366 --> 00:46:09,432
Thank you.

723
00:46:15,974 --> 00:46:19,075
Can you imagine what we could do
with this information?

724
00:46:19,077 --> 00:46:22,879
We own the first recorded signal
from an intelligent life.

725
00:46:22,881 --> 00:46:24,280
We could cure diseases,

726
00:46:24,282 --> 00:46:26,783
we could achieve
time dilating space travel,

727
00:46:26,785 --> 00:46:28,384
teleportation, immortality.

728
00:46:29,154 --> 00:46:30,953
Maybe.

729
00:46:30,955 --> 00:46:32,522
But that
doesn't mean we should.

730
00:46:50,341 --> 00:46:51,407
Don't.

731
00:47:06,825 --> 00:47:07,990
It's been a while.

732
00:47:09,494 --> 00:47:11,160
<i>Where are we up to?</i>

733
00:47:11,162 --> 00:47:13,129
Well, you know what they say.

734
00:47:13,131 --> 00:47:16,265
<i>A thousand errors</i>
<i>for one success.</i>

735
00:47:16,267 --> 00:47:18,401
Going through
all the necessary processes.

736
00:47:19,270 --> 00:47:20,903
<i>A thousand errors?</i>

737
00:47:22,106 --> 00:47:23,472
Is that a science term?

738
00:47:23,474 --> 00:47:25,208
I don't know.

739
00:47:25,210 --> 00:47:27,343
I thought it was well-known.

740
00:47:28,012 --> 00:47:29,178
I guess not.

741
00:47:30,381 --> 00:47:31,948
<i>And Tom?</i>

742
00:47:31,950 --> 00:47:33,883
<i>How's he doing?</i>

743
00:47:33,885 --> 00:47:36,152
Working well
between you two?

744
00:47:36,154 --> 00:47:38,554
<i>He's been very useful.</i>

745
00:47:38,556 --> 00:47:41,324
<i>Provided valuable</i>
<i>insight and help.</i>

746
00:47:42,594 --> 00:47:44,227
Two heads are better than one.

747
00:47:45,463 --> 00:47:48,297
<i>Tell me.</i>

748
00:47:48,298 --> 00:47:51,132
Why did you assign Tom
as opposed to anyone else?

749
00:47:51,135 --> 00:47:53,102
<i>He's been</i>
<i>at the university</i>

750
00:47:53,104 --> 00:47:56,305
in some way, shape, or form
for a while now.

751
00:47:56,307 --> 00:47:57,473
We recognized his brilliance

752
00:47:57,475 --> 00:47:59,475
even back when he was
an undergrad.

753
00:47:59,477 --> 00:48:02,645
I was a little worried
we might lose him.

754
00:48:02,647 --> 00:48:04,513
<i>And you need</i>
<i>someone to work with.</i>

755
00:48:08,286 --> 00:48:09,418
So far, so good.

756
00:48:48,126 --> 00:48:50,559
<i>I've realized,</i>
<i>looking at the world around me,</i>

757
00:48:50,561 --> 00:48:53,462
<i>that no one gets it.</i>

758
00:48:53,464 --> 00:48:56,299
<i>No one can see the true reality</i>
<i>of what's going on</i>

759
00:48:56,301 --> 00:48:58,935
<i>or their role within it.</i>

760
00:48:58,937 --> 00:49:02,305
<i>I look around at the world</i>
<i>and all I see are...</i>

761
00:49:02,307 --> 00:49:04,473
<i>I wouldn't even</i>
<i>call them machines.</i>

762
00:49:06,277 --> 00:49:08,511
<i>Machines, at least,</i>
<i>are intentionally designed</i>

763
00:49:08,513 --> 00:49:09,946
<i>and serve a purpose.</i>

764
00:49:11,950 --> 00:49:14,083
<i>People are purely</i>
<i>acting out the actions</i>

765
00:49:14,085 --> 00:49:16,152
<i>based upon</i>
<i>their physical makeups.</i>

766
00:49:18,456 --> 00:49:21,424
<i>The idea of free will</i>
<i>can finally be put to rest.</i>

767
00:49:21,426 --> 00:49:24,393
<i>Cause and effect</i>
<i>explains it all.</i>

768
00:49:24,395 --> 00:49:26,429
<i>Complete determinism.</i>

769
00:49:26,431 --> 00:49:28,397
<i>But their idea of cause</i>
<i>and subsequent effect</i>

770
00:49:28,399 --> 00:49:31,167
<i>is infantile at best.</i>

771
00:49:31,169 --> 00:49:33,736
<i>The role they play</i>
<i>is no longer necessary.</i>

772
00:49:35,006 --> 00:49:37,006
<i>These machines are obsolete.</i>

773
00:49:42,647 --> 00:49:45,715
<i>Everyone's actions are merely</i>
<i>a result of something.</i>

774
00:49:48,252 --> 00:49:49,518
<i>And now,</i>

775
00:49:51,556 --> 00:49:54,090
<i>I understand my role</i>
<i>in this system.</i>

776
00:50:10,541 --> 00:50:12,708
I've got something to show you.

777
00:50:12,710 --> 00:50:14,076
- Yeah?
- Mm.

778
00:50:26,424 --> 00:50:27,556
Really?

779
00:51:07,465 --> 00:51:10,332
<i>The colony</i>
<i>is under extreme danger</i>

780
00:51:10,334 --> 00:51:12,334
<i>with all the ant's lives</i>
<i>at risk.</i>

781
00:51:12,336 --> 00:51:15,237
<i>The host ants</i>
<i>require serious action</i>

782
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:19,708
<i>to prevent the entire colony</i>
<i>from complete extermination.</i>

783
00:51:19,710 --> 00:51:21,777
<i>Under these extreme</i>
<i>circumstances,</i>

784
00:51:21,779 --> 00:51:25,214
<i>ants can sabotage</i>
<i>and destroy their own nest</i>

785
00:51:25,216 --> 00:51:28,150
<i>for the greater good</i>
<i>of the colony.</i>

786
00:51:37,695 --> 00:51:39,195
Einstein was wrong.

787
00:51:53,578 --> 00:51:55,544
Are you gonna tell me
where you were last night?

788
00:52:02,587 --> 00:52:03,819
Einstein was wrong.

789
00:52:05,256 --> 00:52:07,223
Where were you?

790
00:52:07,225 --> 00:52:09,825
More importantly,
Einstein was wrong.

791
00:52:11,429 --> 00:52:12,828
Where were you?

792
00:52:14,432 --> 00:52:15,664
I was with Monique.

793
00:52:16,467 --> 00:52:17,800
Now, my book.

794
00:52:21,506 --> 00:52:24,140
<i>I'm about to share with you</i>
<i>the secrets of the universe</i>

795
00:52:24,142 --> 00:52:25,774
<i>that will revolutionize</i>
<i>your worldview.</i>

796
00:52:25,776 --> 00:52:27,910
<i>We live in a universe</i>
<i>of 29 dimensions</i>

797
00:52:27,912 --> 00:52:29,678
<i>defined by the path</i>
<i>integral quantization</i>

798
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:31,780
<i>of the two dimensional actions</i>
<i>of the conformal field.</i>

799
00:52:31,782 --> 00:52:33,883
<i>The field in the world view</i>
<i>describes the embedding</i>

800
00:52:33,885 --> 00:52:35,885
<i>of the string 28 plus one</i>
<i>space-time dimensions.</i>

801
00:52:35,887 --> 00:52:37,920
<i>I will then prove to you</i>
<i>that we live in a multi-verse</i>

802
00:52:37,922 --> 00:52:39,272
<i>in which the physical world,</i>

803
00:52:39,273 --> 00:52:40,623
<i>specifically,</i>
<i>the level three multiverse</i>

804
00:52:40,625 --> 00:52:42,191
<i>is the mathematical structure.</i>

805
00:53:32,810 --> 00:53:33,876
Excuse me.

806
00:53:42,720 --> 00:53:44,220
Paul.

807
00:53:44,222 --> 00:53:46,255
You cheating fuck!

808
00:53:46,257 --> 00:53:47,389
You thought
you'd get away with it

809
00:53:47,391 --> 00:53:48,591
and we'd never know?

810
00:53:48,593 --> 00:53:50,960
Hang on a second. You fired me.

811
00:53:50,962 --> 00:53:52,828
I haven't sold anything.

812
00:53:52,830 --> 00:53:54,797
You know you could go to jail.

813
00:53:54,799 --> 00:53:57,566
<i>You gave our IP</i>
<i>to the university.</i>

814
00:53:57,568 --> 00:53:59,768
<i>You need to come in</i>
<i>and fix this, George.</i>

815
00:53:59,770 --> 00:54:01,620
- <i>Now.</i>
- All right.

816
00:54:01,621 --> 00:54:03,471
<i>Let me sort it out,</i>
<i>and I'll get back to you.</i>

817
00:54:12,283 --> 00:54:14,016
Have a good show, I'll tune in.

818
00:54:30,668 --> 00:54:32,768
Oh.

819
00:54:32,769 --> 00:54:34,869
You've just missed Tom.
He's gone to do his radio show.

820
00:54:35,673 --> 00:54:36,772
Has Tom told you?

821
00:54:37,642 --> 00:54:39,341
He doesn't tell me much.

822
00:54:41,412 --> 00:54:43,445
Yeah, I figured
he wouldn't tell you, so...

823
00:54:45,650 --> 00:54:47,549
We're separating.

824
00:54:47,551 --> 00:54:48,684
Oh.

825
00:54:56,327 --> 00:54:57,660
It's perfect timing, right?

826
00:54:59,297 --> 00:55:00,362
What's the issue?

827
00:55:01,832 --> 00:55:03,599
Sorry, I shouldn't have asked.

828
00:55:03,601 --> 00:55:05,701
Yeah, I shouldn't
have said anything.

829
00:55:05,703 --> 00:55:08,704
Just go easy on him.

830
00:55:08,706 --> 00:55:10,739
He's gonna need
someone like you.

831
00:55:11,542 --> 00:55:12,608
Bye, George.

832
00:56:29,153 --> 00:56:30,886
I have a question for Tom.

833
00:56:30,888 --> 00:56:33,088
Oh, we have another caller.

834
00:56:33,090 --> 00:56:34,890
<i>You remember</i>
<i>that form you signed?</i>

835
00:56:35,459 --> 00:56:36,525
George.

836
00:56:36,527 --> 00:56:37,793
<i>Yep.</i>

837
00:56:37,795 --> 00:56:39,461
<i>The non-disclosure agreement?</i>

838
00:56:39,463 --> 00:56:41,063
Ah, perhaps you had
a science question.

839
00:56:41,065 --> 00:56:43,015
No.

840
00:56:43,016 --> 00:56:44,966
You do realize that you are not
meant to talk about

841
00:56:44,969 --> 00:56:47,569
anything about our research
to anyone?

842
00:56:47,571 --> 00:56:49,037
<i>Yes.</i>

843
00:56:49,039 --> 00:56:50,939
Even your girlfriend?

844
00:56:50,941 --> 00:56:53,542
Her eyes just glaze over
at this stuff anyway.

845
00:56:53,544 --> 00:56:55,177
- <i>And online.</i>
- Obviously.

846
00:56:55,179 --> 00:56:56,678
Or on YouTube!

847
00:56:58,115 --> 00:56:59,392
<i>Let me send you a link</i>

848
00:56:59,393 --> 00:57:00,670
<i>to something</i>
<i>I found interesting.</i>

849
00:57:00,671 --> 00:57:01,948
Ah, let's go to another song,
shall we?

850
00:57:16,834 --> 00:57:18,434
Why would you do that to me?

851
00:57:18,436 --> 00:57:19,501
Did you get my e-mail?

852
00:57:23,707 --> 00:57:25,791
Can you see me?

853
00:57:25,792 --> 00:57:27,876
<i>Are you streaming</i>
<i>lab cam now?</i>

854
00:57:27,878 --> 00:57:28,911
<i>You've broken the contract</i>

855
00:57:28,913 --> 00:57:29,978
<i>that you just signed.</i>

856
00:57:30,981 --> 00:57:32,748
You've broken the law.

857
00:57:32,750 --> 00:57:36,552
The university
is gonna take you to court.

858
00:57:36,554 --> 00:57:41,156
You have completely jeopardized
the integrity of our work.

859
00:57:41,158 --> 00:57:43,826
I am not gonna let you
squander it away, Tom.

860
00:57:43,828 --> 00:57:46,161
I am not going to let you
ruin my life's work!

861
00:57:46,163 --> 00:57:49,231
George, listen to me.
I'm sorry, okay?

862
00:57:49,233 --> 00:57:51,533
But if you take this
to the university and tell them,

863
00:57:51,535 --> 00:57:52,601
we'll lose the whole thing.

864
00:57:52,603 --> 00:57:54,770
You will lose everything.

865
00:57:54,772 --> 00:57:56,772
<i>No one sees these videos,</i>
<i>trust me.</i>

866
00:57:56,774 --> 00:57:58,808
<i>No one watches them.</i>

867
00:57:58,809 --> 00:58:00,843
I was just so frustrated
that you were sitting on this.

868
00:58:02,913 --> 00:58:04,112
Keep them deleted.

869
00:59:04,708 --> 00:59:06,909
Yes?

870
00:59:06,911 --> 00:59:09,177
There is no formal
statement from the university.

871
00:59:09,179 --> 00:59:11,013
Discredit the author,
find out how this got out

872
00:59:11,015 --> 00:59:13,015
and make sure
Tom and George don't talk.

873
00:59:13,017 --> 00:59:14,249
What can you tell me?

874
00:59:14,251 --> 00:59:16,051
Well, at 2:38 this morning,

875
00:59:16,053 --> 00:59:17,986
a recent graduate
of our university

876
00:59:17,988 --> 00:59:20,689
made a post
on her personal website titled,

877
00:59:20,691 --> 00:59:23,725
"Local Scientists Discover
Intelligent Alien Message."

878
00:59:23,727 --> 00:59:25,060
Usually, this wouldn't be
a problem,

879
00:59:25,062 --> 00:59:26,828
<i>except she tweeted and e-mailed</i>

880
00:59:26,830 --> 00:59:28,897
<i>all major media outlets</i>
<i>across the world.</i>

881
00:59:28,899 --> 00:59:30,999
<i>Again, this</i>
<i>wouldn't be a problem</i>

882
00:59:31,001 --> 00:59:32,834
<i>except a reporter</i>
<i>at one of them,</i>

883
00:59:32,836 --> 00:59:34,069
Handelsblatt in Germany...

884
00:59:34,071 --> 00:59:35,671
Fucking Germans.

885
00:59:36,807 --> 00:59:38,924
<i>...is a former member of SETI,</i>

886
00:59:38,925 --> 00:59:41,042
- Search for Extra--
- Terrestrial Intelligence. Shit.

887
00:59:42,112 --> 00:59:44,212
Shall I continue?

888
00:59:44,214 --> 00:59:45,948
They ran the story
almost identically

889
00:59:45,950 --> 00:59:47,015
<i>to what was originally written.</i>

890
00:59:47,017 --> 00:59:49,151
<i>Then another in Finland.</i>

891
00:59:49,152 --> 00:59:51,286
<i>Within three hours,</i>
<i>it was across 28 major...</i>

892
00:59:51,288 --> 00:59:52,821
No, hold on.

893
00:59:54,692 --> 00:59:57,893
That's 103 major media outlets.

894
00:59:57,895 --> 00:59:59,661
And to be honest,
I'm surprised it took so long

895
00:59:59,663 --> 01:00:00,929
for you to be contacted.

896
01:00:13,944 --> 01:00:15,043
Be careful.

897
01:00:18,148 --> 01:00:20,349
Right. Shall we begin?

898
01:00:21,385 --> 01:00:22,818
As you're all aware,

899
01:00:22,820 --> 01:00:24,953
our university
has a long-standing history

900
01:00:24,955 --> 01:00:26,822
of pushing the edges
of discovery

901
01:00:26,824 --> 01:00:29,992
and the support we provide
to creative researchers.

902
01:00:29,994 --> 01:00:32,628
<i>One of these projects</i>
<i>has recently garnered</i>

903
01:00:32,630 --> 01:00:33,695
<i>a lot of interest.</i>

904
01:00:33,697 --> 01:00:36,215
<i>And as usual,</i>

905
01:00:36,216 --> 01:00:38,734
speculation and rumor
has been spread by the media.

906
01:00:38,736 --> 01:00:41,336
So, today, we're going to set
the record straight.

907
01:00:41,338 --> 01:00:43,705
I'd like to introduce
our honorable Chancellor

908
01:00:43,707 --> 01:00:44,773
to tell you more.

909
01:00:45,376 --> 01:00:47,709
Thank you, Shannon.

910
01:00:47,711 --> 01:00:51,380
These two scientists
are researching dark radiation.

911
01:00:51,382 --> 01:00:53,749
A term which is new
to the scientific community

912
01:00:53,751 --> 01:00:56,018
with very little known about it.

913
01:00:56,020 --> 01:00:58,854
And before I make you all
aware of my ignorance,

914
01:00:58,856 --> 01:01:00,756
I'd like to hand it over
to Dr. West

915
01:01:00,758 --> 01:01:02,758
to tell you more
about their research.

916
01:01:03,394 --> 01:01:05,293
Thank you.

917
01:01:05,295 --> 01:01:07,696
I've been working
at the university

918
01:01:07,698 --> 01:01:10,365
with my partner here,
Tom Edsman,

919
01:01:10,367 --> 01:01:12,167
for the past eight months.

920
01:01:12,169 --> 01:01:16,672
The area in which we are
researching is dark radiation.

921
01:01:16,674 --> 01:01:18,373
No questions for now.

922
01:01:18,375 --> 01:01:22,110
I have been researching
this area for over nine years

923
01:01:22,112 --> 01:01:24,913
but it seems that
in the last little while

924
01:01:24,915 --> 01:01:26,281
things have gotten out of hand.

925
01:01:29,420 --> 01:01:31,286
What Dr. West is saying

926
01:01:31,288 --> 01:01:33,021
is that there has been
wild speculation

927
01:01:33,023 --> 01:01:34,540
spread by the media.

928
01:01:34,541 --> 01:01:36,058
<i>We are excited</i>
<i>by the possibilities</i>

929
01:01:36,060 --> 01:01:39,961
but there is definitely
nothing to announce.

930
01:01:39,963 --> 01:01:42,798
We are still a long way away
with our process.

931
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:44,299
Years away.

932
01:01:44,301 --> 01:01:46,001
Such is the scientific method.

933
01:01:46,003 --> 01:01:49,371
The woman who first wrote
the story on her personal blog

934
01:01:49,373 --> 01:01:51,406
is not a credible source.

935
01:01:51,408 --> 01:01:55,243
And her quotes from Mr. Edsman
are completely falsified.

936
01:01:55,245 --> 01:01:57,012
Is that true, Tom?

937
01:01:57,014 --> 01:01:59,314
Scientific breakthroughs
are not scandals

938
01:01:59,316 --> 01:02:01,216
but we do believe
that in due course,

939
01:02:01,218 --> 01:02:02,801
we will be able to announce--

940
01:02:02,802 --> 01:02:04,385
Can you tell us anything
about the research

941
01:02:04,388 --> 01:02:05,721
you've accomplished to date?

942
01:02:05,723 --> 01:02:07,723
As we said before, we are--

943
01:02:07,724 --> 01:02:09,724
I wanna hear from the
scientists themselves, thanks.

944
01:02:20,370 --> 01:02:23,004
On the third of June
I received a signal from space

945
01:02:23,006 --> 01:02:26,108
which was transmitted by
a highly intelligent life form.

946
01:02:26,110 --> 01:02:28,043
This signal contains information

947
01:02:28,045 --> 01:02:29,911
which we have recorded
for some time.

948
01:02:29,913 --> 01:02:31,897
What Tom
is trying to say is that--

949
01:02:31,898 --> 01:02:33,882
To date, we have recorded
approximately 11 petabytes

950
01:02:33,884 --> 01:02:35,484
and we're on track
to gather more information

951
01:02:35,486 --> 01:02:38,186
than the total collective
knowledge of all of humankind.

952
01:02:38,188 --> 01:02:41,022
<i>This information can be</i>
<i>transplanted into organisms.</i>

953
01:02:41,024 --> 01:02:43,191
I know because
I've done it to myself!

954
01:02:43,193 --> 01:02:45,894
This is unsubstantiated
and completely falsified!

955
01:02:45,896 --> 01:02:47,295
Thank you all for coming today.

956
01:03:37,314 --> 01:03:39,231
<i>In breaking news,</i>

957
01:03:39,232 --> 01:03:41,149
<i>a research team</i>
<i>at RIST university...</i>

958
01:03:41,151 --> 01:03:42,818
<i>...claiming</i>
<i>that they have received</i>

959
01:03:42,820 --> 01:03:44,419
<i>an intelligent signal</i>
<i>from space.</i>

960
01:03:44,421 --> 01:03:46,888
<i>It is because</i>
<i>of scientists like this</i>

961
01:03:46,890 --> 01:03:48,156
<i>that the public</i>
<i>don't have the faith</i>

962
01:03:48,158 --> 01:03:50,091
<i>in rigorous scientific research.</i>

963
01:04:09,079 --> 01:04:11,179
What happened with
being honest with each other?

964
01:04:15,219 --> 01:04:17,986
It's 0.034 seconds slow.

965
01:04:22,092 --> 01:04:23,358
George!

966
01:04:54,224 --> 01:04:56,992
Here, take this.

967
01:05:10,574 --> 01:05:12,207
Whoa.

968
01:05:12,209 --> 01:05:14,109
Let's just take a minute,
shall we?

969
01:05:16,346 --> 01:05:17,512
Just checking.

970
01:05:18,515 --> 01:05:20,482
Have yourself a good day.

971
01:05:26,957 --> 01:05:29,457
Rough day, rough day.

972
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:33,194
George, it's important
you do not take,

973
01:05:33,196 --> 01:05:36,598
tamper with, or do anything
with our property.

974
01:05:37,401 --> 01:05:39,434
Who's taking over?

975
01:05:39,436 --> 01:05:41,202
No one knows
what we've been doing here.

976
01:05:41,638 --> 01:05:43,004
I built this.

977
01:05:45,075 --> 01:05:47,442
You know, I was glad
when Tom blew it.

978
01:05:47,444 --> 01:05:49,311
One might even think
we put him up to it.

979
01:05:52,215 --> 01:05:54,382
You can't even talk
to anyone about this.

980
01:05:54,384 --> 01:05:55,450
Bullshit.

981
01:05:56,420 --> 01:05:58,186
You don't own my ideas.

982
01:05:58,188 --> 01:06:00,155
My thoughts, my knowledge.

983
01:06:00,157 --> 01:06:02,157
Your contract, George.

984
01:06:02,159 --> 01:06:05,060
Maybe you need me
to remind you what you signed.

985
01:06:05,963 --> 01:06:08,496
- This is ridiculous!
- George!

986
01:06:08,498 --> 01:06:11,700
We need to know
that you're not going to talk.

987
01:07:22,305 --> 01:07:24,239
<i>Hi, you called Graham Dawson.</i>

988
01:07:24,241 --> 01:07:25,740
<i>Please leave a message</i>
<i>after the tone,</i>

989
01:07:25,742 --> 01:07:27,275
<i>and I'll get right back to you.</i>

990
01:07:33,784 --> 01:07:35,517
It's all gone, Graham.

991
01:07:39,623 --> 01:07:41,189
I've got nothing left.

992
01:07:44,594 --> 01:07:46,161
They've taken everything.

993
01:07:51,168 --> 01:07:52,634
I've got nothing left to show.

994
01:07:57,207 --> 01:08:00,775
And I don't want it
to all have been for nothing.

995
01:08:00,777 --> 01:08:03,812
<i>I'm sorry.</i>
<i>Your message has taken too long.</i>

996
01:08:03,814 --> 01:08:05,580
<i>Please hang up and try again.</i>

997
01:08:28,805 --> 01:08:30,105
Can I help you?

998
01:08:37,547 --> 01:08:39,114
I'm done.

999
01:08:39,116 --> 01:08:41,716
- What?
- You deceived me.

1000
01:08:41,718 --> 01:08:43,518
Made me break the law
without knowing.

1001
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:44,719
Hang on a second.

1002
01:08:44,721 --> 01:08:46,154
You made me work with that kid.

1003
01:08:46,156 --> 01:08:48,423
We are facing a lawsuit.

1004
01:08:48,425 --> 01:08:50,859
And given that it was me
who supported you,

1005
01:08:50,861 --> 01:08:52,260
I've been fired!

1006
01:08:53,230 --> 01:08:54,496
You're a disgrace, George!

1007
01:09:02,405 --> 01:09:03,538
Uh, it can wait.

1008
01:09:04,241 --> 01:09:05,306
Get it.

1009
01:09:38,341 --> 01:09:40,842
I always thought you'd make it.

1010
01:09:40,844 --> 01:09:44,546
You're good, George.
I forgot how good you are.

1011
01:09:44,548 --> 01:09:47,182
<i>What are you saying?</i>
<i>Is this an apology?</i>

1012
01:09:48,818 --> 01:09:50,652
<i>Not an apology.</i>

1013
01:09:50,654 --> 01:09:54,656
You fucked up. Real bad.

1014
01:09:54,658 --> 01:09:56,858
Selling them our IP?

1015
01:09:58,295 --> 01:10:00,929
<i>Fraud, jail probably.</i>

1016
01:10:02,232 --> 01:10:03,932
<i>I was always good to you.</i>

1017
01:10:04,901 --> 01:10:06,534
But, hey.

1018
01:10:06,536 --> 01:10:09,904
I got good news
which you don't deserve.

1019
01:10:11,775 --> 01:10:13,308
We're offering you a position

1020
01:10:13,310 --> 01:10:16,311
to come back
and finish what you started.

1021
01:10:16,313 --> 01:10:19,647
This is your project,
your life's work.

1022
01:10:19,649 --> 01:10:22,617
We've been pushing your tech
harder than you ever did

1023
01:10:22,619 --> 01:10:24,219
but we're stuck.

1024
01:10:24,221 --> 01:10:25,787
<i>The side effects</i>
<i>of our test subjects</i>

1025
01:10:25,789 --> 01:10:28,523
<i>are unpredictable.</i>

1026
01:10:28,525 --> 01:10:30,258
<i>Side effects?</i>

1027
01:10:30,259 --> 01:10:31,992
<i>That's where</i>
<i>we need you, George.</i>

1028
01:10:31,995 --> 01:10:33,761
<i>I'll give you the money,</i>

1029
01:10:33,763 --> 01:10:36,397
the resources you need.

1030
01:10:36,399 --> 01:10:38,333
<i>However you want it.</i>

1031
01:10:38,335 --> 01:10:40,485
<i>But we keep it quiet.</i>

1032
01:10:40,486 --> 01:10:42,636
<i>Because if you go down,</i>
<i>I go down with you.</i>

1033
01:10:45,442 --> 01:10:46,507
Deal.

1034
01:12:26,009 --> 01:12:29,043
You've taken 453 breaths
since coming inside.

1035
01:12:30,747 --> 01:12:32,747
You want some water?

1036
01:12:32,748 --> 01:12:34,748
Six to eight breaths per minute
for optimum performance.

1037
01:12:34,751 --> 01:12:36,417
You should slow down.

1038
01:12:38,722 --> 01:12:40,688
Pure H2O can kill you.

1039
01:12:50,467 --> 01:12:51,632
Tom?

1040
01:13:04,814 --> 01:13:05,913
Tom!

1041
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:58,599
<i>Early reports suggest</i>

1042
01:13:58,601 --> 01:14:01,102
<i>this was a coordinated</i>
<i>group suicide.</i>

1043
01:14:01,104 --> 01:14:03,971
<i>Those involved were not part</i>
<i>of a wider network.</i>

1044
01:14:03,973 --> 01:14:06,874
<i>The identity of those involved</i>
<i>is suppressed</i>

1045
01:14:06,876 --> 01:14:08,676
<i>but we can confirm this.</i>

1046
01:14:08,678 --> 01:14:11,212
<i>The number of victims</i>
<i>at this stage, five.</i>

1047
01:14:11,214 --> 01:14:13,615
<i>According to a source,</i>

1048
01:14:13,616 --> 01:14:16,017
<i>the victims have been subject</i>
<i>to experimentations.</i>

1049
01:14:16,019 --> 01:14:18,152
<i>But at this stage,</i>
<i>that's speculation.</i>

1050
01:14:18,154 --> 01:14:20,955
<i>A friend of one of the victims</i>
<i>described the deceased</i>

1051
01:14:20,957 --> 01:14:25,059
<i>as private and hardworking</i>
<i>but increasingly antisocial.</i>

1052
01:14:25,061 --> 01:14:27,028
<i>There have been reports</i>
<i>of some victims</i>

1053
01:14:27,030 --> 01:14:29,664
<i>displaying uncharacteristic</i>
<i>tendencies.</i>

<i>Like erratic</i>

<i>social disengagements,</i>
<i>talking to themselves,</i>

<i>and unprovoked assaults on...</i>

1057
01:14:38,041 --> 01:14:40,875
Tom, wake up, we're going.

1058
01:14:43,847 --> 01:14:45,780
Come on, come on.

1059
01:15:47,944 --> 01:15:49,010
Open the door.

1060
01:15:50,146 --> 01:15:51,646
Open the door!

1061
01:15:55,051 --> 01:15:57,285
Open the door now!

1062
01:16:19,108 --> 01:16:20,641
Come on.

1063
01:16:38,595 --> 01:16:39,727
Tom?

1064
01:16:41,130 --> 01:16:42,196
Can you hear me?

1065
01:17:45,294 --> 01:17:46,360
George.

1066
01:17:54,337 --> 01:17:55,870
George.

1067
01:17:55,872 --> 01:17:57,171
George, we gotta
get out of here.

1068
01:18:30,206 --> 01:18:32,206
Paul, I'm sure
you're aware by now

1069
01:18:32,208 --> 01:18:33,808
that I've burnt your lab down.

1070
01:18:37,780 --> 01:18:40,848
But I also know that those
suicides trace back to you.

1071
01:18:43,419 --> 01:18:45,186
I guess we're at a stalemate.

1072
01:18:46,489 --> 01:18:47,922
Goodbye, Paul.

1073
01:19:38,875 --> 01:19:39,940
Hey.

1074
01:19:51,220 --> 01:19:52,419
I'm so sorry.

1075
01:19:55,024 --> 01:19:58,459
I was lost and confused, and...

1076
01:19:59,462 --> 01:20:01,128
I didn't know what I was doing.

1077
01:20:01,931 --> 01:20:03,130
But I do now.

1078
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:05,900
I'm here.

1079
01:20:05,902 --> 01:20:07,301
And I'm ready for this.

1080
01:20:08,871 --> 01:20:10,204
Are we good to go?

1081
01:20:14,110 --> 01:20:15,342
All right.
