1:07.2 | It all hangs together. |
1:09.2 | And I'm trying to make my mathematical models and computer simulations as I've said. |
1:15.0 | And struggling with the idea of how space and time could be separately accounted for in this model. |
1:26.4 | And on that level there is a, like a quantum reality behind ordinary reality. |
