Mills Brothers playing] [music cuts off] (Dr. Tim T. Beaver) 6:28. Restate my hypotheses. One, the power of admissions letters grows with MIT's global influence. Two, the power manifests
in electric- (Admissions Officer, offscreen) Dr. Tim, The letters, they're,
they're starting to explode! As you predicted, Professor Feynman's Nobel Prize seems to be responsible. Any progress? (Dr. Tim T. Beaver) We are still working on the metallic envelope. The aluminum lining dissipates
t
he charge on the letters. (Admissions Officer) And
what's that over there? (Dr. Tim T. Beaver) The
energy comes from somewhere. Might be a vacuum instability... Parallel universe... If the envelope
accidentally folds the paper before delivery, that extra
density might set off- (Admissions Officer) Hang on. Are you saying that when
we close that envelope, there's a chance that
we destroy the universe? (Dr. Tim T. Beaver) Chances are near zero. (Admissions Officer) Near zero?! (Dr. Tim T. Beaver)
What do
you want from theory alone? (Admissions Officer) Another
solution would be nice. Look, Tim, you're the best engineer we've ever had. I trust you to see it through. (Dr. Tim T. Beaver) Hmm. Two, the power manifests
in an accumulation of electric charge. Three, a metal surface
can dissipate the charge. The letter just needs to touch the metal. But... if it folds... ["Can You Hear The Music"

Curvature. Tensio
n. [audio echoes] Use the
tension, pi r squared. (Professor) We assume static equilibrium. So, how do we get the displacements? Well, remember, for this
circular cross section... ...the area moment of inertia... ...pi r to the fourth over four. (Dr. Tim T. Beaver) Pi r squared. Pi. [music stops, silence

Dr. Tim? It's March 13th and we need to get these
admissions letters out tomorrow. (Dr. Tim T. Beaver)
Listen- (Admissions Officer) There are thousands
of admits that are waiting- (Dr. Tim T. Beaver) Thank you. Thank you.
But I've completely solved the problem. Send them all. ♪ Pack up, let's fly away ♪ ["American Prometheus" by

now I am become Rejection, destroyer of dreams
The fact that MIT makes better films than Hollywood
If this is what MIT produces after reading our applications, then I’m scared.
this is so hype good luck to everyone that has applied!!!
Can't wait for Pi day! Hope I get in🤞🏽❤
I don’t know you guys, but me and my family find this very funny. Like it both embodies the spirit of over engineering that is inside of us and the consideration of every particular of our creations. It must be round!!! Lol Near zero chance the world’s gonna explode?? Whaaat When the beaver put the aluminum on the paper it reminded my childhood when I was making circuits to warm up (and do leds, but was especially to warm up because the school at that hour was gelid) with the nun with aluminum and batteries while I was waiting for school. Idk why I tell this to you, maybe sharing?, it’s a bit late here and thinking about this all just shows all your life in its best moment in front of your eyes. I think tomorrow I’ll call that nun (Madre Annamaria). I’ll bring a pie in my class during π-day
POSITIVE THOUGHTS ONLY WE CAN DO THIS
Stay positive We will make it 😊
If you set your expectations low, you can't be disappointed 🧘♂️
Nice to see Tim actually talking for the first time in a Pi vid since 2014
We are going BIG !!!
This is really nice. Can't wait to receive the letter. Hopefully, it's something great
My 14.19 TA is in this video!?
guys, pi day is my birthday, i dont know how i will handle it
Best of luck!
Good luck guys
This was very funny; I liked it very much!
dreams guys, this is why: DREAMS
Triple So: So hard, So soon, So scary
