:47:00
Do you remember that
Professor Becquerel showed us that rock
:47:04
The pitch blende and the plate he
exposed to it?
:47:06
Yes.
:47:08
You know, Pierre.
:47:09
I can't get that out of my mind.
:47:12
Really? Why?
:47:13
I know it's true
that the rays give...
:47:15
not by something
in the pitch blende
:47:18
I can't get over the feeling
that there's more to it than that
:47:21
that there's something else
:47:24
something beyond
Becquerel's explanation.
:47:27
I don't quite understand.
:47:31
Well, what are these rays
that given off
:47:34
and why are they being given off.
:47:35
It's an accepted principle
in science
:47:37
that nothing can go on forever
:47:39
without running dull, isn't it?
Yes.
:47:41
I mean, the clock will run dull
if it isn't wound.
:47:43
Afire would burn out if it's not
replenished.
:47:45
Life will die if it is inflate.
:47:48
Yet in these rocks
which are embedded
:47:50
in the middle of the earth
millions of years
:47:53
never seen the sun
:47:55
Rays are constantly given off
more all by themselves.
:48:01
What is this energy?
Where does it come from?
:48:10
I supposed
I'm being very foolish.
:48:12
Some of the greatest achievements
in science
:48:14
come to the same type
of foolishness.
:48:17
When an explanation is given
of something
:48:19
and every one believes it
:48:21
there may be one person somewhere
who can't quite accept it,
:48:25
who instinctively says
I'm not sure that
:48:29
this is sufficient explanation.
:48:31
Maybe something beyond this.
:48:34
It's that
kind of foolishness, Marie.
:48:40
Well, I'm not that person
I'm sure.
:48:42
How do you know? Perhaps you are
:48:45
Perhaps Dr. Becquerel has only
set the gate a jar.
:48:48
Maybe a long
and unexplored road ahead
:48:55
I wouldn't even know how to start
Pierre.
:48:58
I wouldn't know what to do.
