00:00Let's get right into it. Dr. Tim Travers, tell us exactly what the Time Traveler's Paradox is.
00:06First, a scientist makes a time machine that loops back exactly one minute into the past.
00:15Then the scientist kills his younger self.
00:19Now you have a man who should not, cannot exist, yet who somehow does.
00:25With full love and respect, I hope you die a very painful death.
00:32How weird was your day?
00:33Today I activated a time machine that is powered by nuclear materials that were stolen from a terrorist organization.
00:40Is this all about the stolen plutonium?
00:42Yeah, it's about the plutonium!
00:45This whole mad scientist shtick, it's like performance art. I'm just waiting for the cameras to pop out.
00:49I mean, maybe that was just some other woman that looked a lot like her.
00:57Just a little weird that murder was her go-to response.
01:03There's more than one of him.
01:05He might be immortal, he might be a god man.
01:08How the hell do you forget about plutonium?
01:11Oh my god.
01:13It's been a weird day.
01:15Weird, confusing, really, really stupid.
01:18I entangled and stored particles, massed into the physical space of a door, invented time travel,
01:23and we had just found a new way to create black holes, so cut me some slack!
01:27You'd have to be insane to observe this and think that you somehow have relevance.
01:36Earlier tonight, I met a guy who looked exactly like you.
01:41Power course table!
01:43Stop, we're gonna die!
01:43Just have one of those spaces, I guess.
01:58If God actually exists, then I'm out.
02:02Later, everybody!
