That's not what it is. Then what is it?
不是那样的 那又是怎样?
There's another way to secrete that much protein. Do it naturally.

But that takes a lot longer.
但时间要长的多
If it has a little moisture and it's left alone, it'll start secreting and it'll build up...
如果给它一点水分 让它自然 生长 它就会开始分泌蛋白质
and build up, but it takes a long time. How long?

To get the same amount of protein that we have...

We thought that we were degrading gravity, right?
我们以为我们降低了重力 对面?
That we were blocking that information.
以为我们拦截了那个信息
I think we're doing more than that. I think we're blocking more than that.
我们要拦截更多东西
When you were controlling the feed, did you notice it was parabolic?
你控制输入量时 你注意到 它是抛物线形状的吗?
It's important. Parabolas are important. Here, look at this.
抛物线很重要 看看这里
I don't know, Abe.
我不知道 埃布尔
I'm going to start it up and let it run for 60 seconds...
我开动它 让它运行60秒
with nothing in it. It's empty this time.
这次先让它空着
That's 22
22小时
In all the equations that describe motion and heat and entropy.
在所有描述运动 热量和熵的等式里
In all Feynman diagrams what's the one variable that you can turn negative...

and still get rational answers for? It's not mass.
但仍然能得到有理数答案的?
Twentytwo hours, 27 minutes in the box.
在箱子里的时间 是22小时27分钟
It's an odd number. That's 1,347 minutes.
是一个单数 1347分钟
1,347, man, you got that fast. How did you know it's odd?
1347 你算的真快啊 你怎么知道是个单数?
Because this is it. This is what's going on. There's an "A" end and a "b" end.
因为它就是单数 有A端点和B端点
Let's say the A end is 12:00,and the b end is 12:01.
我们设A端点是12:00 B端点是12:01
All right? We start the machine with the Weeble at the A end.
好了吗?我们启动机器 让数组从A端点开始
It travels forward You got to write this down.
它向前推进 你要写下来
There's nothing to write down. I'll write it down.
没什么好写的 我写下来吧
It travels forward normally towards the b end.
它正常地向B端点推进
When it gets there, the feed runs down parabolically...
到达B端点时 又以抛物线形状下降
until it should stop, but it curves back around towards the A end.
直到应该停止 但又向A端点曲线返回
When it gets back to the A end... Curve that around. The Weeble...
当它回到A端点 又再次曲线折返
has experienced a total of two minutes, and again it curves
这个过程共经历两分钟 然后再次曲线折返
back around. It curves parabolically. Right.
以抛物线运动 没错
It comes back around and it does this about 1,300 times.
如此反复 大约1300次
When it finally exits on the b end...
当它最终从B点退出
it's traveled an odd number of forward and backward trips.
它共进行了单数次的来回运动
What is so special about 1,300? Why is it about 1,300? Why isn't it exact?
1300有什么特别的?为什么是 1300?为什么不是确切数字?
This is not empirical. Here, give me that.
还没有被证实 把那个给我
I don't know why it's not exact. There's some sort of probability there.
我不知为什么不是确切数字 有几种可能性
every time it hits the b end there's a chance...
有很小的机会…
a small chance it won't curve back around towards the A end.
它每次到达B端点时 不会向A端点折返
And for some reason, it takes about 1,300 trips before it finally does.
出于某种原因 它要运行 1300次才能最终停止
It does have to exit, or else we wouldn't be able to see it afterwards.
它一定要退出 否则我们 就不能看到它以后的样子
Okay, let's take a look at this.
好吧 我们看看这里
Twentytwo hours, 14 minutes.
22小时14分
1,334 minutes. even.
1334分钟 偶数
enter at the b end.
在B端点进入
exit at the b end.
从B端点退出
