56:06but this seems to be a little bit of the closing of the book on a couple of the aspects that we talked >> I think I mean, there's two there's two big research groups that have shown that this thing can work. >> Right. >> I'm sure now other countries and other labs are going to replicate this thing. Now, the big question mark is can this thing scale or do we have to figure out a new way to create hexagonal diamond that scales >> industrially. >> industrially, right? >> But it works. >> Yeah. >> And we can do it. >> Mhm. >> Um great story again out of um out of Nature on March 4th, Zhongzhou, Nanjing, and uh uh Hanan universities in China, a follow-up to our episode 5. Um if you liked this episode, if you like
56:48again seeing the connections, our last deep dive episode had a very similar thing. If you're a long-time listener, you're probably like me where you're starting to get these things much quicker. You can see how they all relate to each other, uh how we build on top of the past work. We are truly standing on the shoulders of giants. Now, should we ask for the comment for this episode to create a replacement for the DeBeers "Diamonds are forever"? >> Mhm. >> Some diamonds >> Yeah. >> marketing. >> Yeah. >> Some not diamonds are hexagonal, but
