40:11to our second story. >> Yeah, this is a good one. So, that was our first one on on the sort of magnetic field related to black holes and our ability to actually see it. Now, >> yeah, >> we're moving on to our digital heart twin. >> Yes. >> Uh not to be confused with the FIFA twin that's created when you get scanned in for V. >> The V the very not truthful. Um, so we talked about in our previous episode, you get every player gets scanned into this FIFA system. So when they do the V animations, it's not just a random stick figure. It's their actual scan. >> Yeah. >> We're doing something not dissimilar for our hearts. >> Not dissimilar. Exactly.
40:52>> Uh for for some medicinal benefit and to assist with how physicians do different diagnosis. I'm actually very curious about this because obviously in recent news unfortunately we've seen um the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham and he seems to have had a cardiac related um uh cause of death for those who are not looking at conspiracy theories. >> Oh, okay. >> And so there's this this >> my Instagram is only conspiracy theories. No, I'm just [laughter] kidding. But yeah, >> like so precision medicine for the heart. >> Yes. being one of the number one and the number one and two and three maybe leading causes of death in America at
41:33least >> definitely >> hugely hugely beneficial. >> Yeah. And I think this is a really cool um sort of symbiosis between um data and simulation and like actual practice in medicine. So the digital twin that they're creating this is out of John's Hopkins University um precision medicine for the heart. What they've done is effectively create a digital twin for the heart to try and solve one of the most challenging conditions in medicine, which is um ventricular tachicardia, a VT. It's basically um you've got like a
