38:34>> That would be dope. >> That would be fantastic. >> I mean, it's probably going to be like $10,000 a flight, but >> as we know, they got they always got to monetize. >> Yeah. >> I I Before we move on to our story number two, I just want It's funny the timing of this because literally earlier today, I saw or I think it was today. Yeah. Sam Alman um made this post about uh anyway, long story short, there's a company that has reached criticality on uh a a a nuclear reactor infrastructure that is venture capital funded. It is the first BC funded entity that has been able to show
39:14the ability to reach uh the splitting of the atom in a new reactor architecture and they did it in computer >> and then this was the first nonhe no heat no power but like I guess physical test of that simulation and they were able to theoretically reach that point. It is just another if all these real world examples of simulations moving to real world and like I don't think like the everyday person understands how much we depend on modeling >> oh yeah >> and simulations >> it's insane >> to be able to like validate ideas before we even start putting >> no cuz that stuff is expensive so
39:56>> making stuff in the real world is super expensive so whenever people are building new chips the first thing you do is validate it in silica right you have CAD designs and you have all of the software whenever Nvidia makes It's the next H4000 or whatever the hell, right? It's going to it's going to >> create so much testing within the computer because we just know physics >> at this level so well, right? We're not we're not going into CERN >> trying to find the Hig Bzon. We're like we need to I don't know what the mass is. I know what the mass of the electron is. I know what temperature like so we know physics so well that it's just way cheaper to do stuff
40:37in a computer before we rig up a whole factory to actually make stuff. Yeah, you're right.
