34:48bit. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so and so and Krypton was the way to do it. >> Krypton was the way to do it. That's >> I think I think that was really cool. And so what they did was in the experiment they have something called the Stevens Shock Tunnel which is at Stevens University. was funded by the office of naval research. It's an impulse facility and what it does is it creates these shock waves that move through that tunnel at like Mach 5 Mach 6. Right? So you've got you've got some apparatus that like where the krypton moves through the tunnel at Mach 5 Mach 6. You can now measure you can ionize the krypton in one part. You can track it and then you can get that level of fidelity that was never possible with
