51:15fundamental science and like you know this this becomes something that um is a polinomial time simulation tool for chemistry condensed matter physics material science everything but that's really not the reason why quantum computing is a trillion dollar industry I don't think a trillion dollars would have gone into quantum computing if all it was doing was trying to find the next room temperature superconductor >> okay the reason it is a trillion dollar computing industry is because of the stuff that we are getting into after our break, namely Shor's algorithm and um Bitcoin going to zero.
