Yes. When do I get to meet Neil deGrasse Tyson? I am inspired to study physics and have read a few books on applied physics and particle physics. And all of this fascinated me. I would like to be able to obtain some data and feed data into a model to review the results. I’m hooked on pattern recognition and I believe both theories are the same. Big and small.
How can they identify the change in the magnetic direction in a rock sample ( not meaning of the core itself) Any rock you take would have a direction but pointed towards where was it when it formed ? Rotate the rock and you have another direction. 🤔 Update; Thank you for the numerous responses I received to clarify and dissipate a bit more ignorance from me. 🤓
Yes: What are lessons we can learn from the composition of the earth's systems that will help protect us from radiation as we travel away from the earth?
I love when Chuck starts to piece things together. You see his eyes light up and then Neil is like, "you're picking up what I'm putting down!" Which in turn gets Neil hyped to keep explaining. It's so cool.
Hat off to them - they make a good duo. I love the dynamic of the show and the format - teacher/student but more of friends talking sharing knowledge. Lot of respect for the two of them for doing this show.
Because it doesnt happen lol. There is literally zero evidence of a "core". Thr furthest anything has been into earth is 8 miles. The rest is pure speculation.
@@sunnydlite-t8b religion and science aren’t best friends most of the time, except for Islam. Do research on the signs of the end of times, islamic eschatology is so morbidly accurate it’s shocking.
I remember when I was a kid and my dad remarked that we are just like bugs on the skin of some hot soup, re the earth NOT being solid, though we think of it that way. But the ground being "solid" is so built into our daily experience that it seems automatic -- until you're suddenly in your first earthquake and your house's walls are shaking VERY loudly and it's suddenly very scary. Then it's much easier to remember the earth isn't at all "solid", overall. It's always fascinating to hear Neal explain things. I just LOVE the story re Faraday saying, "I don't know how it will be practical YET, but some day you will TAX it!". What a way to win some government funding for an idea you want to research.
The earths crust - surface - is solid, that's why we can build very very heavy structures on it. Are you one of those...."our world is a grain of sand on a beach somewhere in the universe" folks?
Some elite academic institution gotta run Chuck his honorary PhD! The amount of relevant data he holds in his head and can be quizzed on at any time! He’s earned it.
How about you guys do real observations. Science isn't hard to do. These guys like in the video are all clowns. Just go to the sea and watch the sun as it goes, look at the shape of the reflection. Keep in mind visual perspective laws, and then study the reflection that a point source light makes on a sphere. You can do better if you know someone with a boat. Get them to go out until you see them "going over the horizon" and tell them to stop, then take a telescope or a high zoom camera, and zoom right back in on that boat as it reappears due to increased angular resolution as the visual perspective matrix is widened. Even an amateur can make hard hitting obsevations that trash the lying mainstream psuedology
I love everything about this series of videos. Thank you, Niel, for not talking down to us. Thank you, Chuck, for your comic relief and for asking leading questions. You are a well matched pair of hosts.
If more science teachers and classes had such entertaining and interactive instructors and lectures as these that Neil and Chuck provide, we’d have far more kids choosing science and STEM career paths.
Truth! I think that's why I like science. Most of my teachers in those classes were knowledgeable and excited about learning, and even the one who had issues communicating was nothing if not entertaining...memorial scorches in the ceiling for interesting experiments. 🍀✌️😎
Sadly the American child prefers to be a UA-camr than a scientist. Reason i think China will lead the world. Their system have deeply accepted science . Even children at a very early age.
When my son was 5 years old, he brought home the fish he had caught and put it in a tub of water. He named the fish Hernald. I asked him, "Do you mean Arnold?" "No", he said "Hernold". "Wait. Do you mean Harold?" "NO! Hernold! " The fish named Harold reminded me of this 50+ year old story. I love Star Talk.

Wow! Just clicked on Sabine Hossenfelder's take on the spinning core, and boom, this notification from Neil! UA-cam's Inner Core is certainly spinning!

You forgot at all to mention the Danish scientist Inge Lehmann, who discovered that the Earth' s core consists of three parts: Crust, fluid mantle and a solid core. Using pencil and paper in 1936.

Thank you so much for this. Explainer videos do really need some graphics especially for someone like me who can't sometimes comprehend or imagine what they are talking about lol
I'm curious as to why all the major news outlet are saying that the core stopped, and not simply slowing. I heard about it last week and when I saw this episode I ran a quick google search and it's all over. Hoping to see your full show soon!
Same reason they push stories about poisoned or tampered with candy at Halloween every year (even though it's never actually happened). People stop watching unless it keeps you at the edge of your seat.
A major reason is that science is complex and difficult, and scientific research is interpreted for laymen by other (mostly) laymen. Since they can’t get very technical, they instead rely on excitement, drama, and catastrophe. Otherwise people won’t read it. It’s a problem science had, has now, and will always have. Unless everyone becomes smart. 😎
I love this man. I wanted to hear about and better understand the earth"s core. Everything I found (UA-cam searches) was "fluff"; either trying to entertain, scare or impress me. While I don't agree with everything he says on some things; he never fails to inform me. I always seem to walk away wanting to know more. This is why I love this man.
I'm trying to see if the Solar Wind pushes on the Van Allen belts, which are generated by the churning liquid iron core, and the LEVERAGE these high-speed particles would have, as they are deflected to the magnetic poles. Mass X inertia X Distance, etc. Meanwhile the Earth is spinning at 1,100 MPH at the Equator and the top of the magnetic field is 25,000 miles up plus the 7,700 mile radius of Earth. I'm thinking the force exerted on the liquid core could get transmitted to the solid core.
@@peterdarr383: One thing I've learned by several decades of personal experience and watching science evolve (often very contrary to perceived wisdom of scientists at the time) -- intuition is VERY OFTEN proved VERY wrong by science. (Example: How different the atmospheres of our planets and large moons are, re scientific data, vs. what astronomers studying our solar system believed they would be before our various NASA probes gathered the data to actually find out). I have no idea re the answer to your very interesting question / idea about that force, but my guess is that it's a complex answer which may well involve a variety of forces, substances (like the atmosphere), etc.
Dr Tyson, you have helped this beginning geology hobbyist hugely today with this video. You answered many questions for me. I have long admired you. Your explanations are always done in a very fun way.
Neil remind me of my high school physic teacher. I am a veterinary Dr. Some of my professors made hate academic field. Listening to Neil make me want to upgrade and become a research scientist because it's actually okay to be a professor, down to earth and cool at the same time. Following closely from Africa
but that's the great part. what Tyson lacks in pop culture, Chuck provides. Chuck understands & tries to explain it using reference for those not so bright & intellectual people to understand. they were a great combination. the synergy is out of this world
This garden universe vibrates complete Some, we get a sound so sweet Vibrations reach on up to become light And then through gamma, out of sight Between the eyes and ears there lie The sounds of color and the light of a sigh And to hear the sun, what a thing to believe But it's all around if we could but perceive To know ultra-violet, infra-red, and x-rays Beauty to find in so many ways Two notes of the chord, that's our full scope But to reach the chord is our life's hope And to name the chord is important to some So they give it a word, and the word is ...
I'm an amatuer geologist so fact check advised. But the core isn't actually slowing. It's elctric charge is reversing polarity. The outer core is in flux so that at any given point in the outer core is either slowing or speeding up; like eddies in fluid, but the average speed is the same. And it's not fast. It's only a few meters per year compared to the mantel and solid inner core. However, this flux effect is to change the polarity of the magnetosphere. In the next 1000+or-yrs the red end of a compass needle will start pointing south. The problem with this is that during the change the magnetosphere will be severely weakened allowing fo more cosmic radiation to reach the Earths surface.
I've seen the poles flip, personally. It was at a circus in Warsaw. Really cool ! Seriously, these two are entertaining. I never thought science could be so funny !
Been seeing this all over the place, but wanted to wait to read anything about it until more research was done lol. Far too many articles going "IS THE EARTH'S CORE STOPPING?!" to grab attention. Looking forward to some facts for once XD
Oh, this is so much better than the guy that says the core stopped spinning completely and then spun in the opposite direction. Transitioning from slightly slower to slightly faster makes much more sense than the core with all of its momentum just stopping and then reversing with no significant change in force applied to it.
I love NDT’s ability to slow things down on a scale that the layman can understand it. His mind is not only able to correlate theory’s and ideas that would fry my cpu, he is then able to compute it to a language a common person can understand. That is a talent in it of itslef
Hey Neil Degrasse I Do Have A ? So Once The Polls Reverse Does The North Becomes The South And Vice Versa + Do The Birds That Fly South For The Winter Do They Now Fly North ? Because Animals Do have There Own Guidance System
But the birds have always flown north for the winter If they flew south, they'd be in Antarctica, which seems slightly counterintuitive if they're trying to dodge the cold. I wonder if it means that I'd be living in the Northeastern Pacific? Naming the two islands here in New Zealand "North Island" & "South Island" (the Māori names were a nightmare for the colonials lol) also may have been a bit short-sighted...
What's interesting is that Chuck is as smart as Neil but just in different aspects of knowledge. Amazing to be a fly on the wall for these conversations.
I learned about this while in the Navy (+30 years ago), using MAD, you could see the magnetic barber pole coming from the riffs in the ocean floor (iron deposits) where the poles had flipped back and forth over the eons. I always wondered what effects we would see at the time of flip (cancer rates highrocketing, etc.) from the lack of comic ray protection. My question would be is the flip instantaneous?
Every science teacher should be like Neel, could you imagine how many geniuses would be produced. This man is truly a treasure and should be treated as such his ability to break things down and keep you engaged should not be underestimated.
This is easily my favorite channel. I love it when Mr deGrasse does explainers as its a great way to form new neuron pathways. Not to mention I love the humour involved
Awesome video!!! Great job pointing out magnetic reversal! Most people have never heard about this, let alone know what it means. The next couple hundred years will be an interesting time for geologists.
thank you for explaining scientifically how the earth is formed. Im 45yo and the first time its explained in such a way, rather than teachers just saying how it is, that made it ever so easily understood. Now I've been tracking the MNP (magnetic North Pole ) for about 10 years, and what some people dont know is that it was accelerating from its position and they are now both (MN & MS) both on the same side of the earth. What we know from childhood science is when you place two magnetic polarities on the same side, we get a flip of polarity. If I remember correctly, the MSouth is weaker than the MN. Will this be the causation for the flip in polarity? and what will happen on the surface when the change happens? I know its best guess, but the best I can perceive it is to be like a manual gearbox, the clutch goes in and becomes a shift in direction like grinding a gear maybe? I believe its sequence has begun, and we are like 10-25 years off.
You two are the best, I've learned so much just listening to the both of you. It's always easy to learn about things when it's fun, and I tell you both your absolutely amazing. Keep up the great work. I hope some day I can be as smart as you guy's are. P.S. sorry to Harold as well. L.O.L
Damn! LOVE how Neil DeGrasse Tyson explains things! I had tickets to see him but then Covid hit. Had to miss it when it was rescheduled because of health issues but someday… I will see this GOAT of a physicist 🥰🙏💖
This is a valuable video. Not just the scientific theme but how two minds interact. Neal, one of the most briliant astrophysicist and Chuck, comediant, average IQ like most of us. Their interaction helps us to understand something most people don't even think about. Like, rocks are light and float on heavy iron. I don't care for all that giggling, but overal, good learning.
I find this all facinating living somewhere where I know rocks rise to the surface... I moved somewhat north of where I used to live and up here in the spring farmers hire kids to go "rock picking" because of the ice age brining rocks down with the ice plates moving ... rocks over time slowly rise up through the dirt and need to be removed from the topsoil before the farmer plows so as not to destroy his plow. It's rather fascinating if you ask me. I had never heard of "rock picking"... as where I lived before the size of these rocks were much smaller, less abundant, and didn't really need picked up... But up here more in the northern part of my state... they do need to be picked up.
Wow Neil you break this down like long division... I love math so this is easy for me to comprehend. Your show is most appreciated and enjoyed. I look forward to all your new shows. Thanks and keep up the dropping of knowledge 👌 love it so much. You guys are the best
Imagine humans have destroyed all those planets and there are only two left. One is livable and the other (is assumed) is being under research and development construction. From this moment forward, man's greed is working hard to destroy this planet over the resources of profit. None of those nuclear powers are prepared to meet at the negotiate table. Right now we have a nuclear suicide crisis and no one is concerned about it. I now believe that people of power do not believe in the power of God but in the power of destruction and whatever goes with it.
Interesting fact: Approximately 50 to 80 percent of the Earth's heat is generated by radioactive decay. The exact amount is difficult to determine with precision, as it depends on a variety of factors such as the composition and structure of the Earth's mantle and crust, and the distribution of radioactive isotopes. However, studies have shown that radioactive decay plays a significant role in maintaining the Earth's internal heat budget and driving geological processes.
Okay I have a more qualifying questions in planet formation and gravity! What is the point of light gravity that sets up the creation of a planet? Like is it like the visual shown? How can another gravity field just pop up inside the field of the local star? Like what is the moment and point of inception of the start of the creation of a planet? Does the star form first then planets? Or all at once? And why would a planet form there? Could all planets be stars trying to form and failing? And how does gravity fall into place? Because it doesn’t fit the model of gravity we use the most. Where you put something heavy on a cloth plane. That imply a that there would be no gravity with out the dense mass, but then how did the dense mass come to be with no gravity to pull it together?
Periodicity, great word! I Thank You Both, while others are partying, watching tv & zone out with distractions, i am having Tea with Knowledge, love it. Bring on the Geophysicist, i look forward to that 🤩 Peace
Any lingering questions you want answered in the follow-up conversation?
Doesn't the core have some kind of structural protrusion, and does that play a part in this?
Yes. When do I get to meet Neil deGrasse Tyson? I am inspired to study physics and have read a few books on applied physics and particle physics. And all of this fascinated me. I would like to be able to obtain some data and feed data into a model to review the results. I’m hooked on pattern recognition and I believe both theories are the same. Big and small.
How can they identify the change in the magnetic direction in a rock sample ( not meaning of the core itself)
Any rock you take would have a direction but pointed towards where was it when it formed ? Rotate the rock and you have another direction. 🤔 Update; Thank you for the numerous responses I received to clarify and dissipate a bit more ignorance from me. 🤓
Do there exist any other examples where this whole process occurs or is it unique to planets?
Yes: What are lessons we can learn from the composition of the earth's systems that will help protect us from radiation as we travel away from the earth?

You guys deserve at least 20 million subscribers!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
This garden universe vibrates complete
Some, we get a sound so sweet
Vibrations reach on up to become light
And then through gamma, out of sight
Between the eyes and ears there lie
The sounds of color and the light of a sigh
And to hear the sun, what a thing to believe
But it's all around if we could but perceive
To know ultra-violet, infra-red, and x-rays
Beauty to find in so many ways
Two notes of the chord, that's our full scope
But to reach the chord is our life's hope
And to name the chord is important to some
So they give it a word, and the word is ...
OM
Ahhhh, Moody Blues, In Search of the Lost Chord, I bought it when it came out in 1968. I miss those old days.
@@Teck_1015 you got it!
@@russellhammond1283 Still have it and the rest of theirs. Saw them twice with orchestra!
I knew I recognized it! 💙🌌✌️😎
“Periodicity” that whole convo had me dead and I am going to now find any and every reason to use it. 🤣😂👏🏻
Yes! Need a full explanation from a geologist 👍👍 thanks guys
I'm here for the science and comedy. They work so well together.
Yes, please, I WILL want a full geologist explanation, thank you!
I'm an amatuer geologist so fact check advised. But the core isn't actually slowing. It's elctric charge is reversing polarity. The outer core is in flux so that at any given point in the outer core is either slowing or speeding up; like eddies in fluid, but the average speed is the same. And it's not fast. It's only a few meters per year compared to the mantel and solid inner core. However, this flux effect is to change the polarity of the magnetosphere. In the next 1000+or-yrs the red end of a compass needle will start pointing south. The problem with this is that during the change the magnetosphere will be severely weakened allowing fo more cosmic radiation to reach the Earths surface.
See my top level comment starting with "Dr Tyson is wrong here". The core is NOT spinning in relation to the crust.
You inspired many!
The Earth's core slows down everytime a startalk episode drops.. the earth is also listening and enjoying the podcast..
I've seen the poles flip, personally. It was at a circus in Warsaw. Really cool !
Seriously, these two are entertaining. I never thought science could be so funny !
Been seeing this all over the place, but wanted to wait to read anything about it until more research was done lol. Far too many articles going "IS THE EARTH'S CORE STOPPING?!" to grab attention. Looking forward to some facts for once XD
Harrold tried to walk on land at the wrong time!! Hahaha love this video! Thank you! Look forward to the whole show
Glad this video was made I just read an article on this recently and asked on a prior video if they was going to cover this
Every second is a gift, we are on the surface of a bomb floating around with other bombs in space. Existing is so insanly crazy.
Oh, this is so much better than the guy that says the core stopped spinning completely and then spun in the opposite direction. Transitioning from slightly slower to slightly faster makes much more sense than the core with all of its momentum just stopping and then reversing with no significant change in force applied to it.
Does this mean that the Earth's core is embellished with megatons of gold, platinum, etc in addition to iron? Interesting to ponder that possibility!
Time to start digging.
It's delightful when Chuck gets so excited 😊
Thank you guys for the amazing series
I love NDT’s ability to slow things down on a scale that the layman can understand it. His mind is not only able to correlate theory’s and ideas that would fry my cpu, he is then able to compute it to a language a common person can understand. That is a talent in it of itslef
I love this content! I cant stop watching these videos!
Amazing explanation, thank you sir. so at 15:25, does that mean we do not know why it happens?
Hey Neil Degrasse I Do Have A ? So Once The Polls Reverse Does The North Becomes The South And Vice Versa + Do The Birds That Fly South For The Winter Do They Now Fly North ? Because Animals Do have There Own Guidance System
But the birds have always flown north for the winter
If they flew south, they'd be in Antarctica, which seems slightly counterintuitive if they're trying to dodge the cold.
I wonder if it means that I'd be living in the Northeastern Pacific? Naming the two islands here in New Zealand "North Island" & "South Island" (the Māori names were a nightmare for the colonials lol) also may have been a bit short-sighted...
What's interesting is that Chuck is as smart as Neil but just in different aspects of knowledge. Amazing to be a fly on the wall for these conversations.
I learned about this while in the Navy (+30 years ago), using MAD, you could see the magnetic barber pole coming from the riffs in the ocean floor (iron deposits) where the poles had flipped back and forth over the eons. I always wondered what effects we would see at the time of flip (cancer rates highrocketing, etc.) from the lack of comic ray protection. My question would be is the flip instantaneous?
Good show and cast :D sometimes it takes a while before it finds an audience
I really look forward to your videos. Thank you!
Neil I love your videos
And I love yours
Every science teacher should be like Neel, could you imagine how many geniuses would be produced. This man is truly a treasure and should be treated as such his ability to break things down and keep you engaged should not be underestimated.
Chuck does not need the degree Neil gave him. Being a comedian and getting half the stuff he understands- amazing.
Loving the editing of these videos. The visuals add a lot. Keep it up!
well done again Neil.. excellent explanation
I could listen to NDT's laugh on a loop for hours on end
@Nick Frank "laugh on a loop"(quote)
Right? Haha ... that man has more than his share of fun!
Haha INFOTAINMENT!!1 haha
Who needs truth we can trust these comedians to teach us about our home
@@mightyconker3903 "who needs truth"(quote)
Choose your poison. It's been a long era of propaganda...
You can choose to laugh, or choose to cry.
This is easily my favorite channel. I love it when Mr deGrasse does explainers as its a great way to form new neuron pathways. Not to mention I love the humour involved
Neil: Don't worry. Nothing will happen in our lifetime.
Keanu: Are you sure about this?
Awesome video!!! Great job pointing out magnetic reversal! Most people have never heard about this, let alone know what it means. The next couple hundred years will be an interesting time for geologists.
You won't have to wait that long ... prepare now.
thank you for explaining scientifically how the earth is formed. Im 45yo and the first time its explained in such a way, rather than teachers just saying how it is, that made it ever so easily understood. Now I've been tracking the MNP (magnetic North Pole ) for about 10 years, and what some people dont know is that it was accelerating from its position and they are now both (MN & MS) both on the same side of the earth. What we know from childhood science is when you place two magnetic polarities on the same side, we get a flip of polarity. If I remember correctly, the MSouth is weaker than the MN. Will this be the causation for the flip in polarity? and what will happen on the surface when the change happens? I know its best guess, but the best I can perceive it is to be like a manual gearbox, the clutch goes in and becomes a shift in direction like grinding a gear maybe? I believe its sequence has begun, and we are like 10-25 years off.
Check out suspicious observer. His channel is based on this.
Check out Eric dubay he has real facts, yall got pseudo science religious bs
You two are the best, I've learned so much just listening to the both of you. It's always easy to learn about things when it's fun, and I tell you both your absolutely amazing. Keep up the great work. I hope some day I can be as smart as you guy's are. P.S. sorry to Harold as well. L.O.L
The rotation of Earth really makes my day.
As a geologist I can't wait for that "maybe we should bring one" episode :)
Geology rocks man
Space rocks given to museums by nasa turned out to be petrified wood 🤡
Enjoyed this thoroughly. Can we give these guys a show? I want more💯
Thank you. You are the best science teacher!
Neil is the best teacher I ever saw - who can explain serious physics to any one
Thank you so much for educating me/us on this. You both had me laughing while learning. Your awesome.
Great explanation!
Thank you Dr. Tison, it is highly appreciated.
Greetings,
Anthony
P.S.
Love the medieval Stars drawing in Dr. Tyson's shirt...
When you say "you should have stayed in the ocean," I feel like you're speaking from inside my life.
So I'm figuring out how to use the word periodicity anywhere I can, just to see who is honest enough to stop me and ask for a definition.
I"m so amazed by your knowledge Neil .
Haha! Ask him if plants suffer in the same way as animals.
Damn! LOVE how Neil DeGrasse Tyson explains things! I had tickets to see him but then Covid hit. Had to miss it when it was rescheduled because of health issues but someday… I will see this GOAT of a physicist 🥰🙏💖
This is a valuable video. Not just the scientific theme but how two minds interact. Neal, one of the most briliant astrophysicist and Chuck, comediant, average IQ like most of us. Their interaction helps us to understand something most people don't even think about. Like, rocks are light and float on heavy iron.
I don't care for all that giggling, but overal, good learning.
I find this all facinating living somewhere where I know rocks rise to the surface... I moved somewhat north of where I used to live and up here in the spring farmers hire kids to go "rock picking" because of the ice age brining rocks down with the ice plates moving ... rocks over time slowly rise up through the dirt and need to be removed from the topsoil before the farmer plows so as not to destroy his plow. It's rather fascinating if you ask me. I had never heard of "rock picking"... as where I lived before the size of these rocks were much smaller, less abundant, and didn't really need picked up... But up here more in the northern part of my state... they do need to be picked up.
Wow Neil you break this down like long division... I love math so this is easy for me to comprehend. Your show is most appreciated and enjoyed. I look forward to all your new shows. Thanks and keep up the dropping of knowledge 👌 love it so much. You guys are the best
Imagine humans have destroyed all those planets and there are only two left. One is livable and the other (is assumed) is being under research and development construction.
From this moment forward, man's greed is working hard to destroy this planet over the resources of profit.
None of those nuclear powers are prepared to meet at the negotiate table.
Right now we have a nuclear suicide crisis and no one is concerned about it.
I now believe that people of power do not believe in the power of God but in the power of destruction and whatever goes with it.
The reason it slowing down is their to overweight Americans citizens.
Did I just learn something watching UA-cam on the toilet … got my sub sir!
You guys Rock! Pun intended. Very entertaining. Keep up the good work!
Interesting fact:
Approximately 50 to 80 percent of the Earth's heat is generated by radioactive decay. The exact amount is difficult to determine with precision, as it depends on a variety of factors such as the composition and structure of the Earth's mantle and crust, and the distribution of radioactive isotopes. However, studies have shown that radioactive decay plays a significant role in maintaining the Earth's internal heat budget and driving geological processes.
I love their energy together!
Okay I have a more qualifying questions in planet formation and gravity! What is the point of light gravity that sets up the creation of a planet? Like is it like the visual shown? How can another gravity field just pop up inside the field of the local star? Like what is the moment and point of inception of the start of the creation of a planet? Does the star form first then planets? Or all at once? And why would a planet form there? Could all planets be stars trying to form and failing? And how does gravity fall into place? Because it doesn’t fit the model of gravity we use the most. Where you put something heavy on a cloth plane. That imply a that there would be no gravity with out the dense mass, but then how did the dense mass come to be with no gravity to pull it together?
I’ve learned more watching these videos than I did in school my entire life. I’m 30 years old.
Chuck with the Divine Poem pulls!
Periodicity, great word! I Thank You Both, while others are partying, watching tv & zone out with distractions, i am having Tea with Knowledge, love it. Bring on the Geophysicist, i look forward to that 🤩 Peace
