00:00 Shira, do you want to see magic?
00:02 Sure! What kind of magic is that?
00:04 Using my telekinetic powers,
00:07 I will control the swing of these two robots that are tied.
00:11 Even if I'm just here, I won't move them.
00:14 I don't believe you.
00:16 You will believe that, Shira. Watch.
00:19 X-Men Insider!
00:22 Okay, I'll move it.
00:27 Okay, keep going. Slow down, Robot 1. Slow down.
00:31 You start. Move a little.
00:34 Robot 1, here. You're moving fast. Slow down.
00:38 Brother Chris, one is moving.
00:40 Move, move, move. You move there.
00:42 Oh no!
00:43 Okay.
00:45 The first one stopped.
00:46 Okay, you slow down. Robot 2, slow down.
00:53 Robot 2, slow down.
00:54 Robot 1, you're moving again.
00:59 Oh no! It stopped, Brother Chris.
01:02 Robot 1, you're moving.
01:04 One is moving!
01:05 You're so good, brother.
01:10 Wait a minute.
01:11 You're just like Gene Gray of X-Men, Brother Chris.
01:14 You really have telekinetic powers.
01:17 Yes, Sister Shira. I admit that I have the power.
01:20 The power of science.
01:23 Huh?
01:24 Wait. How did you control the swing of the robots?
01:28 As you can see, the robots are connected by a string.
01:32 Okay, it's tied to this post.
01:36 So, what happens is they borrow energy from each other.
01:39 They borrow kinetic energy.
01:41 Okay?
01:42 So, they're moving.
01:43 If this one, it started with movement.
01:45 Okay?
01:46 Okay.
01:47 Then, when it slows down, the kinetic energy is transferred to another robot.
01:51 So, this one is moving.
01:54 Then, they'll talk.
01:55 Oh, I see.
01:56 Because energy is never lost, it's only transferred.
02:00 Oh, I see.
02:02 You learned that in grade school, right?
02:04 Yes, I did.
02:05 Wow!
02:06 So, what do you think, Sister Shira?
02:09 I believe!
02:11 One more.
02:13 You're so good.
02:14 Bling!
02:15 Oh.
