1:17 - For those interested in physics and dimensions, if you didn't notice it already, you'll appreciate this line particularly: "I accelerated the mind of mankind to a higher plane of understanding and I can calculate the weight and the size and the shape of the shadow of the mind you're standing in." When Carl Sagan was explaining higher planes of existence to laymen, he used his famous "Flatlanders" story to get the point across. He held a cube in front of a light so that it cast a shadow. As he rotated the cube in various positions, it's shape remained a cube but the shadow it cast changed. This showed that trying to calculate the weight and the size and the shape of an object in a higher plane just from its *SHADOW* is impossible. So Newton is bragging that he can do the impossible through an apparent veiled reference to that Flatlanders story. Not only is it an amazing line, but it once again showcases the brilliant minds behind ERB.

I wouldn't call the math equation, or at least the answer, truly mathematically correct. Any answer of the form exp(2*Pi*k*i/64) where k = 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 63 (IE: The 64 roots of unity) is a correct answer. This includes numbers like "i", "1", "-1," and "-i" as well as whats inbetween them. So that's 64 answers, not just "i". Actually the whole question is weird because "x^64" is just "1" in this case. So it like, you can raise it to whatever power you want and you'll get a different set of answers. You can raise the hidden variable to the power of infinity and get infinite possible answers.
