Is that like a real title? 43 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:18,839 Speaker 1: Absolutely? 44 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 4: Wait, so what are we what do we need to 45 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 4: defend against like rogue planets, evil planets. 46 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: We're not expecting an attack from Mars, but we do need 47 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 1: to be defended against killer asteroids from out of space. 48 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 4: That would be an armageddon. 49 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: That's right. That's why they have Bruce Willis on call 50 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: at all times. 51 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 4: Hey, I have an idea for a movie. 52 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: What's your idea? 53 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 4: Die hard in space? In space, no one can hear 54 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 4: you shoot a gun. 55 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: It's not hard to die in space. 56 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 4: Soul. Hello, I'm Jorge and I'm Daniel, and this is 57 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 4: Daniel and Jorget explain the universe. 58 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: Today. We're talking about a pretty big question when it 59 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: comes to humanity, which is is an asteroid gonna come 60 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: and kill us? 61 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 4: All? 62 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: So grim stuff, grim stuff, but also important. I mean, 63 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: you might brush this off as irrelevant, but we know 64 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: from some pretty recent scientific history sixty five million years ago, 65 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: the dinosaur extinction was caused very likely by an asteroid 66 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: impact just the other day, just the other day, in 67 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: geologic terms. 68 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 4: So it could happen to us, that's right. 69 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: And so since we're all concentrated on this one planet, 70 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: you know, all of our humanity's eggs are in one 71 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: basket almost literally, it's a reasonable question to ask. 72 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 4: So Daniel went out and asked people in the street 73 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 4: are they concerned about an asteroids killing us? All? 74 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: Here's what they said. 75 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 5: Well, maybe it's possibility, and I mean it's quite possible, 76 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 5: but there has to be certain things to happen for 77 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 5: that in order that take place. You know, you got 78 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 5: to have holes in the ozone, you gotta have meteoroids coming, 79 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 5: you got to be able to project it. 80 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 4: You know, you got to know. 81 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 5: I mean, we have the technology so it can stop it. 82 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 4: I think there's a chance. 83 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, are you worried about it? 84 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 5: I read that like it's a low probability, but every 85 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 5: day that goes by, the probability like compounds so that. 86 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: There's a high chance now. 87 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 5: But honestly, like it's whatever, Like if it happens, it happens. 88 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 4: You know, it's all a question of probability, but it's uh, 89 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 4: there's a finite possibility. 90 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: So it seemed like a lot of people were aware 91 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: of the danger, but a lot of people also sort 92 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: of put it off. They're like, well, it's a possibility, 93 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: but they don't think about it. Right. There's like a 94 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: fascinating dissonance. 95 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 4: There, they don't seem that concerned. 96 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, like I got other stuff to worry about, gas 97 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: in my car, or am I gonna you know, is 98 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: self driving uber gonna run me over? 99 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:55,239 Speaker 4: Yeah? 100 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: They seem to be more worried about that. 101 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 4: They seem to be very pragmatic, like, I know the 102 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 4: probability small, I'm not going to worry about it as 103 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,239 Speaker 4: much as I'm going to worry about, you know, getting 104 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 4: run over by a car. 105 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. There's like hierarchies of worry. You know, It's like 106 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: that's on the list of things I should worry about, 107 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: but I don't actually have time to worry about. Yeah, 108 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: and maybe if I just ignore it, it'll go away, right, 109 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: sort of that list of problems. 110 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 4: And then some people seem to have just like this 111 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 4: super confidence in scientists and engineers. You know, they're like, yeah, 112 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 4: I know we it could kills all, but you know, 113 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 4: I think we probably have the technology and they're probably 114 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 4: working on it. 115 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: I love that slash. I'm terrified by it. I love 116 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: it because I love that they're like, yeah, scientists are 117 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: pretty capable. I mean, in the movies, all it takes 118 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: to solve this problem is like a couple pots of 119 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: coffee and a musical montage, and the scientists have an answer. 120 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 4: Right. 121 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: I love that. 122 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, but don't forget the chalkboard. You know, here's the solution. 123 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: It's always at least one musical montage though, right. I'm 124 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: terrified though, because it means that they're like, well, I 125 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: don't have to worry about it. We don't have to 126 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: do anything, you know, I'm sure science has it covered. 127 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: And as you're going to learn in today's episode, there's 128 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: there only are some vulnerabilities there. You know, there's a 129 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: possibility that an asteroid, if it comes, could wipe us out, 130 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: even if we do see it coming. 131 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 4: It's non zero, the probability, it's. 132 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,119 Speaker 1: Non zero, definitely on the list of things you should 133 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: worry about but probably don't have time to do anything 134 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,239 Speaker 1: about anyway. 135 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 4: Right, right, Okay, So what is the probability then that 136 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 4: we're going to get hit by an asteroid? 137 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: Seven? The probability, it's fascinating. It's sort of unknown, and 138 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: you know you have to think about, like, what is 139 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: the kind of thing that's going to hit us? Right? 140 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: So we're talking about rocks, right, and when you look 141 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: out into space, you see the bright stuff, you see 142 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: the stars, you see the moon, you see things that 143 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: give off light. There's other stuff out there that's dark 144 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: that you don't see unless it happens to reflect light, 145 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: you know, like shining from moonlight or sunlight or something. 146 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: So there's a huge number of rocks that are still 147 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: out there in the Solar System and in the universe. 148 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: And that's what we're talking about, like a big rock 149 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: slamming into the area. 150 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I thought that was super interesting to find 151 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 4: out that. You know, when we people see movies like, oh, 152 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 4: we're going to get hit by an asteroid, it's usually 153 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 4: like this thing that comes from the void of space 154 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 4: that's going to hit us out of the blue. But 155 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 4: the truth is apparently that we're like surrounded by asteroids. 156 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 4: There's like gazillions asteroids that were like hanging around us. 157 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, there absolutely there's rocks everywhere in our solar system. 158 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: And you have to understand like how our solar system 159 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: came to be. You know, our solar system is like 160 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: gravity slowly over billions of years, pulling together rocks and 161 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: rubble and dust into larger pieces. Right, Like, how do 162 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: you form a star? You got a big ball of 163 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: gas and you wait a billion years, and gravity eventually 164 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: pulls it together and compresses it and compresses it so 165 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: much that it turned to like a fusion bomb. Right, 166 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: that's how powerful gravity is over long times. Right, they've 167 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: given enough time. It can pull anything together, but it 168 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: doesn't get everything. So there's still you know, enough rocks 169 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: lept over to make Earth and enough bits left over 170 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: to make Jupiter, and not all those bits get pulled 171 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: into a planet. And that's why you have things like 172 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: the asteroid belt, which has a huge number of rocks 173 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: in it. 174 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 4: They're like the crumbs from making the planets, right. 175 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: That's right. Somebody ate a cake and the asteroid belt 176 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: are their crumbs left over, and they didn't sweep up. 177 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, Or like you know when you're making like meatballs 178 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 4: or bread or something and you're like you're like you 179 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 4: grab some and you like you pad it down. You 180 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 4: make something, but there's always all these little bits lying around. 181 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: That's right. And I usually wipe down my counter. But 182 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: whoever made the Solar System didn't And for scale, like 183 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: I look this up and if you add it up, 184 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: like all of the rocks in the asteroid belt, it's like, 185 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 1: you know, one twenty fifth of the of the size 186 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: of the Moon. So most of the stuff in the 187 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 1: Solar system. 188 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 4: Wait, that's it. 189 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's four percent of the moon. If you 190 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: add up all the stuff in the asteroid. 191 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 4: Belt, all that stuff, I thought it was like thicker 192 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 4: and more massive. 193 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, And fascinatingly some of them, it's mostly a few 194 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: big rocks. Like half of the stuff in the in 195 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: the asteroid belt is just four really big rocks. But 196 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot of rocks out there. 197 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 4: How many rocks are there? 198 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: How many rocks are there? 199 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 4: Is there an estimate like. 200 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: Well, there's we don't know the number of rocks in total, 201 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: because you can't count the really tiny ones, like we 202 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: are the big one. We know big ones, and as 203 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: they get smaller and smaller, there are more and more, 204 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: and as they get really small, they get really numerous, 205 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: and then they're basically impossible to see and impossible to count. 206 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: And the thing to understand there is that obviously the 207 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: biggest rocks are the more dangerous and the smallest ones 208 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: are less dangerous, and so we're mostly worried about the 209 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: biggest rocks, right right, Like some of those rocks are 210 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: pretty big. 211 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 4: Like we need to worry about the rocks in our 212 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 4: solar system that we're like hanging out with. Like I 213 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 4: was thinking, like an analogy is that, like we're like, 214 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 4: we're in the toilet, right, and this toilet is is 215 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 4: swirling around and we're like this little pebble on it? 216 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: Is this your personal toilet model of the solar system? 217 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 4: Yes? 218 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 1: I think Copernicus rejected that, didn't he explicitly? 219 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 4: Yeah? I don't think you had toilets back. 220 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: Then, right, You're right, all right, go ahead. 221 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 4: So yeah, so it's like we're swirling around and we're 222 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 4: this little ball, but there's all these other little balls 223 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 4: swirling around around us, and we're just hoping that in 224 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 4: this swirling round none of them are going to hit us. 225 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 4: It's like this chaotis giant thing, right, isn't it? 226 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: That's right? And I want to talk a little bit 227 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: more about that, But first a quick break with big 228 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: wireless providers, what you see is never what you get. 229 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: Somewhere between the store and your first month's bill.

The problem is that AI 253 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 6: needs a lot of speed and processing power, So how 254 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 6: do you compete without cost spiraling out of control. It's 255 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 6: time to upgrade to the next generation of the cloud. 256 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 6: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or OCI. OCI is a single platform 257 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 6: for your infrastructure, database, application development, and AI needs.

Right, so, let's think of the 276 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: solar system as this big swirling mass. I think that's 277 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: fair analogy. I mean, a toilet bowl makes it sound 278 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: like everything is cycling towards the center, which we're hopefully 279 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: not going to get flushed into the sun. But you're right, 280 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: everything's been swirling around and in the beginning, I think 281 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: there was a lot of bumping. Right, there's a big, 282 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: disorganized mess and its swirled together, and the bumping is 283 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: how we got planets and stars and all that kind 284 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: of stuff. But now, billions of years later, right, the 285 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: Earth is at least four billion years old, billions of 286 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: years later. Things have been swirling around for a long time, 287 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: and things that we're going to bump together and form 288 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: together mostly. 289 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 4: Have things have settled down. 290 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're sort of in the you know, happy middle 291 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: ages of the. 292 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 4: Solar system, the end of the flush. 293 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: We're waiting for the big flush. Yeah. So the interesting 294 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 1: thing is that there are rocks in our solar system, 295 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: which if they hit the Earth could do serious damage. 296 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: Like the biggest in the asteroid belt is nine hundred 297 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: and fifty kilometers across, which is huge. Yeah, it's enormous. 298 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 4: That's like what like Florida. 299 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, but the one that killed the dinosaurs 300 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: was about ten kilometers across, no way, So yeah, nine 301 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: hundred fifty kilometers across. It's like a planetbuster. So there's 302 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: definitely stuff in our solar system which if it hit us, 303 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: could do serious damage. So maybe you're right that's a 304 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: surprise to people. 305 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 7: Yeah. 306 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like we're living with them. It's like your 307 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 4: roommate could kill you at any time. 308 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: More like your neighbor. But you know, that's sort of 309 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: something we were accustomed to. You know, you try not 310 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: to look in their windows too much and get too 311 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: worried about it. But yeah, you never know when your 312 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: neighbor's going to smash into you and cause an explosion 313 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: the size of a nuclear warhead. 314 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, let's talk about the spectacular group stuff, like 315 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 4: what's the probablity of surviving an asteroid hitting us? 316 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: Right? Yeah, and that again depends entirely on the size. 317 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: For example, there are asteroids hitting the Earth all the time, 318 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: like things that are, you know, less than a meter 319 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: in size. These rocks are hitting the Earth all the time. 320 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: But the Earth is big and these asteroids are small. 321 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: And every time you look up it's in the night 322 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: sky you see a shooting star that is a rock 323 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: hitting the Earth. I remember we have something like a windshield, right, 324 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: We have this atmosphere which protects the Earth and it 325 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: protects us from various cosmic rays, but also from space rocks. 326 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: Because what happens when a rock hits the atmosphere. It's 327 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: sort of like I don't know, like an elephant hitting 328 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: a water bed or something. Right, it impacts and it 329 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: gets and it pushes the air out of the way, 330 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: but it gets heated up by all that air. 331 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 4: It's so fast. The air feels like this, like this 332 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 4: giant jet that strips it away. 333 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, exactly like in all those movies when space 334 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: ships are re entering atmosphere. That's because of all the 335 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: friction from the air on the space ship. And spaceships 336 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: usually have like nice protection fancy tiles or something that 337 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: the astronauts from being burnt to a crisp But a 338 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: space rock is just a rock, and sometimes it's made 339 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: of ice or rubble or or whatever. It doesn't have 340 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: that and so usually they burn up in the atmosphere, 341 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: and that's what shooting stars are. So we're constantly being 342 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: hit by very small ones, which we couldn't have seen 343 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: in advance because they were too small. But they don't 344 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: do any damage. 345 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 4: So air is good. 346 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: Air is good for. 347 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 4: Good thing we have it. 348 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, But then about one every five years or so, 349 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: you get a rock that's like five meters in size. 350 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: And a rock five meters in size has a lot 351 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: of kinetic energy to it, right, It's been traveling through 352 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: space for a long time. By the time it hits 353 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: the Earth, that's been pulled on by a gravitational field. 354 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: It has about as much energy as the nuclear bomb 355 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: that exploded over Hiroshima. It's a lot of energy. 356 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 4: So a five meter asteroid is about the size of 357 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 4: a Mimi van or school bus. 358 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's about a school bus and it blows up. 359 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: And about once every five years one of those hits 360 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: the Earth and makes a pretty spectacu explosion. Now, most 361 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: of the Earth, of course, is covered in water, and 362 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: we're not like imaging all the atmosphere simultaneously. These things 363 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: can happen in the upper atmosphere. Because you might be thinking, hmm, 364 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: I think i'd noticed if somebody blew up a nuclear 365 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 1: bomb every five years. But these kind of things can 366 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: happen and we don't necessarily notice them. 367 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 4: Really, So five years ago we had a Hiroshima style 368 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 4: asteroid hit us. 369 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: The odds are that sometime in the last five years, 370 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: there's a good chance that a pretty big rock hit 371 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 1: the atmosphere and burned up upon entry, leaving as much 372 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: energy as a Hiroshima explosion. Yeah, and the energy isn't 373 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: quite as concentrat it's not as focused in one spot 374 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: as the Horosima explosion, but yeah, it can leave a 375 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: substantial amount of energy. 376 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 4: Like by the time it reaches the ground or the ocean, 377 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 4: it has that much energy. 378 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think in order to reach the ground, that's 379 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: about the threshold about five meters. And remember there was 380 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: a pretty big explosion over Russia in twenty thirteen. 381 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 4: And Chelli, yeah, I've seen the videos on YouTube. 382 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody saw on the videos. It just happened like 383 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: one morning, huge explosion in the sky, like like an 384 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: enormous bomb, and everybody was shocked and like a thousand 385 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: people I think were hurt when that happened, and nobody 386 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: saw it coming right like, there was no warning. The 387 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: warning was when it appeared in the atmosphere and it 388 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: just blew up. And that's exactly what happened. And I 389 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: think little bits of it might have reached the ground, 390 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: but mostly it exploded in the atmosphere. Wow. 391 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 4: So if it had been like twice a size, somebody 392 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 4: could have been hit by an asteroid. 393 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely. And the bigger they get, the more dangerous 394 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: they get. You know, if it gets big enough, then 395 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: it's you know, it can it can explode in the 396 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: atmosphere and leave huge clouds of dust and rubble and 397 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff. And it can when it hits 398 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: the ground, it can throw up enormous clouds of dust 399 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: and rubble. And that's where the danger really lies. Like 400 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: not necessarily, even are you actually hit by a rock, 401 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: Like being actually physically hit by the rock from space 402 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: is a tiny fraction of the danger. One of the 403 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: real dangers is just that it like covers the sun 404 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: and causes a know, I guess you would call it. 405 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 4: Like a environmental catastrophe. 406 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: Environmental catastrophe. I was looking for, like asteroidal winter, steroidal winter, 407 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: asteroidal winter. Yeah, we are coining new science term. We 408 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: have the toilet bowl universe and the asteroidal winter. 409 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 4: You almost want to be hit by an asteroid large 410 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 4: enough so that you die instantly and you don't die 411 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 4: from this like agonizing post apocalyptic environmental disaster. 412 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: Well, I guess you can choose how you go. I mean, 413 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,719 Speaker 1: if the asteroid hits the Earth and you get vaporized immediately, 414 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 1: like it just hits your city, huge explosions, you know 415 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: your entire city is destroyed. You know, you can make 416 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: like a crater like a thous hundred kilometers wide or something. 417 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: You could die instantly, and you might prefer that because 418 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: what comes next is like a cold long winter, you know, 419 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: where all the crops die, and that only people who 420 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: stockpile a lot of lentils in their basement are let's survive. 421 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: But also if it hits the water, you have a 422 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: whole other problem, which is like massive tsunamis right, I mean, 423 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: imagine go back to like our space cow hitting a 424 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: waterbed or I guess we were talking an elephant or 425 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: something like if a big rock hits the ocean. You 426 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: might think, oh, great, that's going to absorb the impact. Well, yeah, 427 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: it's going to absorb the impact, and it's gonna absorb 428 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,239 Speaker 1: in form of a huge wave, right, Like you know, 429 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: a wave's called kilometer high could wash over the planet. 430 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: It's crazy, but. 431 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 4: It sort of the pants on the size, right. So 432 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 4: we're getting pelted all the time by little ones. As 433 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 4: they get bigger, they get more and more dangerous, and 434 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 4: at some point it's like an of the world. 435 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: That's right. I think if they get big enough, then 436 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: we're talking planet killers. You know, something that starts off 437 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,719 Speaker 1: super volcanoes, you know, like rips open the Earth's crust 438 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: and releases you know, the magma and the lava that's underneath. 439 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: And we're talking about not just tsunamis and not just earthquakes, 440 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: and not just the sky full of dust, but also 441 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: massive oceans of lava covering the ground. And so that's 442 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: that's pretty serious stuff. But you know that's unlikely. That 443 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: requires a really really big rock, you know, And I 444 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: looked up some numbers here also in like a five 445 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: kilometer wide rock carries one hundred zeta jewels. That's ten 446 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: to the twenty three jewels, all right, And so for comparison, 447 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: is that a lot. That's a lot, Like the average 448 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: American uses about ten to the eleven jewels in a year, 449 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: and all of humanity uses like ten to the twenty 450 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: jewels in one year. So that one collision carries like 451 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: a thousand years worth of energy for humanity. So it's 452 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 1: a huge amount of energy in a big collision like that. 453 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,479 Speaker 1: But again, remember the really big ones are rare, Like 454 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: they estimate, for example, that a rock five thousand meters 455 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: wide that's what we're talking about here, is like every 456 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: twenty million years or so. 457 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 4: But we could be at the end of that lifespan. 458 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 4: So that's the thing. It's like there's rocks of all 459 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 4: kinds of sizes out there, from little ones, big ones, 460 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,479 Speaker 4: and the bigger they are, the less likely we are 461 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 4: to get, the less common they are, but the more 462 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 4: destructive they are. 463 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: That's exactly right. 464 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 4: So it's kind of like this this this kind of 465 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 4: this kind of opposing curves, you know, like bigger but 466 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 4: less likely, but more dangerous. 467 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: That's right. Bigger is less common but more dangerous. It's 468 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: absolutely true. And there's another piece of good news, which 469 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: is the bigger they are, the more likely we are 470 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: to see them right and to spot them, which means 471 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: we might have some idea about whether they're coming or not. 472 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, let's talk about that, like how do we 473 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 4: see them? And like what's NASA doing about it? People 474 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 4: seem to have all this great confidence and scientists and 475 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 4: I'm going to lay it all out on NASA. I 476 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 4: have a lot of friends at NASA, So you guys 477 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 4: are awesome, Like what are they doing about it? How 478 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 4: do they see them? 479 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: Yeah? They have a dedicated team that's talk that they're 480 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: called like the Planetary Defense Force or something. 481 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 4: And are they really called that? Yeah? 482 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: I think so, the Near Earth PDS Planetary Defense Team. 483 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 4: Are they called the Near Earth Objects Group? Yeah? 484 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: Neo Near Earth objects is what they study. And they 485 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: basically just use telescopes and they scan the sky and 486 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: they look for rocks. And you have to spot these 487 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: things at the right time when the sun is reflecting 488 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: off of them, so that we can see them on 489 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: Earth because they don't glow right. They're dark rocks, and 490 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: the rocks respond differently lights. Some of them respond in 491 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: this kind of lighting condition, and that kind of lighting 492 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: condition is a different brightness. So You basically just have 493 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 1: to pay attention all the time and notice one. And 494 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: if you get a few pictures of it, the more 495 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: pictures of it you can get, the more you can 496 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: you can know its size and its direction. And if 497 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: you know its size and its direction, then you can 498 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: plot its course into the future. You can say, oh, 499 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: I think I know where this rock is and which 500 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: direction it's going. 501 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 4: And like which orbit it's in. 502 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, you can use my model of the Solar 503 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: system and understand where it's going to be and where 504 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: we're going to be, and then they can project forward. 505 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: And the more measurements they have, the tighter that band 506 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: of uncertainty is, like the tighter the projection is for 507 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: where that rock is going to be over the next 508 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: year or decade or century. And they can plot Earth's 509 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: movements and they can say whether or not we're in 510 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 1: the clear or not. So it all comes down to 511 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: NASA sky scanning the sky with their telescopes looking for 512 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: these rocks and hoping a spot one. 513 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 4: So they see like a bright dot moving in the 514 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 4: sky and they can maybe if you take several measurements, 515 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 4: you can see it curving or going at a certain speed, 516 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 4: so you can tell sort of from from that, you 517 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 4: can tell kind of what the trajectory around the Sun is. 518 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they've been doing this for a few decades, 519 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: and so they've seen these rocks go around the Sun 520 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 1: a few times, and they get better and better measurements, 521 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: and so they can make better and better predictions. And 522 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 1: that's why it's easier to see the big ones, right, 523 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: because they reflect more light and they're just easier to spot. 524 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: So it's good that the big ones, the more dangerous ones, 525 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: are the easiest ones to see. It'd be scary if 526 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: the smaller ones were dangerous because they're basically invisible. 527 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 4: Right. So that's like the planet pitary defense strategy, right, 528 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 4: it's just like look out, try to spot them before 529 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 4: they hit us. 530 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, Step number one is figure out is one going 531 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: to hit us? And at this point they've looked out 532 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: into the solar system. They've been watching for a while, 533 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: and they're pretty confident that they've seen all the ones 534 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: that pose really any danger, all the ones that could 535 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: do really any danger to the planet or to a 536 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: significant civilian population, all the ones above a kilometer in size, 537 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: for example. 538 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 4: They think they know all of the all of our 539 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 4: neighbors that could kill us. We think we sort of 540 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 4: have a check on that. Yeah, they think they see 541 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 4: the like a registry over the Yeah. 542 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 1: But you know, there could always be one hiding. Like 543 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: they've only seen what they've seen. They by definition haven't 544 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: seen what they haven't seen. They can say, well, we've 545 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: been looking at and so if it had been there, 546 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: we probably would have seen it. But you know that 547 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: could it only takes one, right, it only takes one 548 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: to break their model of how they should be seeing 549 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: these things that be hiding somehow. But yeah, they've seen 550 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: all those big ones and they've plotted those trajectories and 551 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: they're pretty confident that in the next one hundred years 552 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: at least none of those big neighbors are going to 553 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 1: hit us. 554 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, I've seen those plots. They're crazy. They're like a 555 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 4: picture of the Solar system. And so we're on this 556 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 4: orbit around the Sun. But then there's like hundreds of rocks, right, 557 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 4: they have to keep track of their orbits, so it's 558 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 4: a it's like a huge mess this model. Right, it's 559 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 4: like our orbit, but then like the orbits of like 560 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 4: one hundred things going in all kinds of elliptical shapes. 561 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 4: And hopefully none we don't intersect one of those ellipses, right, 562 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 4: that's right. 563 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 1: Yeah. And the thing to understand also is that the 564 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: system is a little chaotic. Right, As we said, we've 565 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: been driving around this toilet bowl for billions of years 566 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: and things are mostly stable. But if some rock comes 567 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: from outer space, you know, from deep away from the 568 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: Solar system, and gives just a little nudge to what 569 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 1: to some other rock, that rock could bump in mevitationally, right, yeah, gravitation, 570 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: they don't even have to bump, just like affect the 571 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 1: orbits of one thing, That could affect the orbit of 572 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: another thing, which affects the orit of another thing. And 573 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: this could you know, cascade and can cause like a 574 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: pile up basically, which could knock one of these things 575 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: out of orbit, and you know, then it could change 576 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 1: its trajectory. So it's a difficult problem from a sort 577 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: of chaos theory point of view that a little perturbation 578 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 1: could totally change the answer. 579 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, let's talk about that a little bit more. But first, 580 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 4: quick break. 581 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: When you pop a piece of cheese into your mouth 582 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: or enjoy a rich spoonful of Greek yogurt, you're probably 583 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: not thinking about the environmental impact of each and every bite, 584 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: But the people in the dairy industry are. US Dairy 585 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: has set themselves some ambitious sustainability goals, including being greenhouse 586 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: gas neutral by twenty to fifty That's why they're working 587 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: hard every day to find new ways to reduce waste, 588 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 1: conserve natural resources, and drive down greenhouse gas emissions. Take water, 589 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: for example, most dairy farms reuse water up to four 590 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: times the same water cools the milk, cleans equipment, washes 591 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 1: the barn, and irrigates the crops. How is US dairy 592 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: tackling greenhouse gases? Many far use anaerobic digestors that turn 593 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: the methane from maneuver into renewable energy that can power farms, 594 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 1: towns and electric cars. So the next time you grab 595 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: a slice of pizza or lick an ice cream cone, 596 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 1: know that dairy farmers and processors around the country are 597 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: using the latest practices and innovations to provide the nutrient 598 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: dense dairy products we love with less of an impact. 599 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: Visit us dairy dot com slash sustainability to learn more. 600 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 7: There are children, friends and families walking, riding on passing 601 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 7: the roads every day. Remember they're real people with loved 602 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,199 Speaker 7: ones who need them to get home safely. Protect our 603 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 7: cyclists and pedestrians because they're people too, Go safely. 604 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: California. 605 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 7: From the California Office of Traffic Safety and Caltrans, We're just. 606 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 8: Days away from our twenty twenty four iHeartRadio Music Festival, 607 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 8: preceded by Capital. 608 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 9: W the biggest headliners in live music will be taking 609 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 9: over to Mobile Arena, Las. 610 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 10: Vegas lost some special surprises and moments you are not 611 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 10: going to want to miss. Stream only on Hulu the 612 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 10: Irradio Music Festival and listen on iHeartRadio the most anticipated 613 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 10: law music events up the. 614 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 9: Year this Friday and Saturday, starting at ten thirty pm Eastern, 615 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 9: seven thirty Pacific. 616 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 4: So you have to keep looking and keep updating your model. 617 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: That's right. You have to keep looking. You have to 618 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: keep updating your model, and you have to be aware 619 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: that there are definitely things that are not in your model, right, 620 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: there are things that you haven't seen. And so you're 621 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: right that, like, there's a lot of stuff in the 622 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: asteroid belt and we've seen most of it. And I 623 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: think that the guys and gals at NASA are pretty 624 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: confident that they've seen those things. But then you have 625 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: to worry about things like comets, right, comets. 626 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 4: Oh, that's it's something different. 627 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's something different, and it's part of our solar system. 628 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: But some of these things have really long periods, like 629 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: really long orbits, like one hundred years or two hundred years, 630 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: which means they could be on a trajectory to hit 631 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: the Earth in fifty years. But we just wouldn't see 632 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: them right now because they're so far out there and 633 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: they've never come by the Earth while we've had astronomy. 634 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: I mean, we've only been looking at the sky for 635 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: you know, a few hundred years, and we've only had 636 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: modern telescopes for decades. So if there's a planet killer 637 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: out there that's headed towards Earth and just hasn't come 638 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: by in the last you know, seven decades or so, 639 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: we might not have seen it. 640 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 4: So we'll only see it when it's closer to us. 641 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, And you might think, well, that seems improbable, like 642 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: I just invented that story, right, But it actually happened once, 643 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: and it happened only like was it twenty five years ago? 644 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 4: It happened that then a comet came into our Solar 645 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 4: System out of the blue. 646 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: Yes, and smashed into a planet out of the black. 647 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: That's right. Ooh, I like that, that's the awesome title 648 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: for a book. Out of the Black. Yeah, comet Shoemaker 649 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: Levey came out of the black and whizzed and wizzed 650 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: into the Solar system very high speed. And the other 651 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: thing is these comets are moving really fast. By the 652 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: time they come close to the Sun, they're growing much 653 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: much faster than any asteroid. And and it whizzed around 654 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: the Sun and it actually got broken up by tidal 655 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: forces into a like twenty three pieces. And this is 656 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: really awesome because we could see that it was going 657 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: to hit Jupiter, you know, months and weeks before it happened, 658 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,719 Speaker 1: Like they saw it coming into the Solar System, they 659 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: recognized it, they plotted its trajectory. They're like, wow, it's 660 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: going to hit Jupiter. Awesome. 661 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 4: So nobody thought like, hey, maybe we should warn potential 662 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 4: people in Jupiter instead of like, hey, let's make some 663 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 4: popcorn and watch this awesome explosion. 664 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: What are we going to do? What are you like 665 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: send them a message like watch out duck. For The 666 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: amazing thing was that it broke into twenty three pieces, 667 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: and which means that we got to see twenty three 668 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: different impacts onto Jupiter. 669 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 4: And the thing is, it's like space is big, right, So, 670 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 4: like you think it was impossibly improbable that this thing 671 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 4: would come out of the blue and hit a moving 672 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 4: planet that's moving pretty fast around the Sun. But it 673 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 4: actually happened. 674 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: It actually happened. Yeah. And Jupiter is not a small target, right, 675 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: It has a lot of gravity and so you don't 676 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: have to get that close before Jupiter like sucks you in. 677 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: And and that's how it got so big, right, accumulated 678 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: stuff by pulling it in. But there's something I love 679 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,959 Speaker 1: about the Shoemaker Levy story. First of all, this amazing stuff, 680 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: like each of the impacts when it hit created a 681 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: fireball bigger than the Earth, like wow, and we could 682 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: see it from here, Like I remember watching this through telescopes. 683 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: You could see the impact and these enormous fireballs. 684 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 4: Really. Yeah, so you were like paying attention because I 685 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 4: don't remember this happening. What, Yeah, but you were you 686 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 4: were near a telescope watching like a feed. 687 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. I was a nerd in high school and we 688 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: had telescopes. 689 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 4: Were are you really? Yeah? 690 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: Absolutely that's so hard to believe. I know, I'm so 691 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: cool now, right, That's why it's so difficult for you 692 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: to imagine. I was totally a nerd in high school 693 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: and we had these telescopes and everybody around the world 694 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: was watching. It was a fascinating like I thought the 695 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: whole earth was transfixed. 696 00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 10: You know. 697 00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,959 Speaker 1: Apparently everybody but Jorge was paying attention. 698 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 4: I had, I was interested in other things in high school. 699 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: Well, they the guys and girls at NASA named the 700 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: bits of the common They named it the A, the B, 701 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: the C pieces, right, and then they started to hit 702 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: and you know, the first one hit Jupiter, and they 703 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: called it the A spot, like where the A hit, 704 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: and then the B B spot, right, they got all 705 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: the way up to you know, the F spot, and 706 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: then they were like, uh oops, And so they had 707 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: the F spot and then the G impact site, right, 708 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: and then the H spot. 709 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 4: That's funny, And it's funny because that that the G 710 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 4: spot is kind of it probably said it only came 711 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 4: about not that long before the eighties. 712 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I think that was a cultural thing in 713 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: the eighties also, so it's sort of cosmically cultural space 714 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: based and also human based But the lesson there is 715 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: not that you know, Jupiter has a g spot that 716 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: we should all search out. But the lesson is that 717 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: these things happen, and if it happened in the last 718 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: thirty years, that means it's not that unlikely it could 719 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: happen again. Right, So we should be on the lookout 720 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: for commets. It's good that NASA's been looking at asteroids, 721 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: but comments are a real danger. 722 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 4: So keep funding NASA, Keep funding NASA. Right, So the 723 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 4: question it should really be is not is an asteroid 724 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 4: going to kill us all? It's like, is a comment 725 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 4: going to kill us? All? 726 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah? Absolutely? Is a commic going to kill us all? 727 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: Is a fair question that we don't know the answer 728 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 1: to because we can't possibly see all the comments because 729 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: some of them are so far away and okay, and 730 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 1: we haven't seen them in a while. Yeah. 731 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 4: Well, so now that I'm concerned, what can we do? 732 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 4: You know, people seem very confident about scientists. We've all 733 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 4: seen Armageddon and we've seen Bruce Willis deflect an asteroid 734 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 4: for us. What can we actually do is like is 735 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 4: that for real? 736 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: Well, you just sit back, drink your coffee and watch 737 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: the people and ask it go to work, right, you know, 738 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: just wait for that musical montage and then you get 739 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: your solution. Yeah, the short answer is. 740 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 4: Duct tape and duct tape like in the spare parts. 741 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to push up your glasses, up your 742 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,359 Speaker 1: nose a few times, and you know, then you get 743 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: to the answer. The short version of the answer is 744 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: the earlier you see it, the better. Like you're much 745 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 1: better off seeing something which is going to hit the 746 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,399 Speaker 1: Earth in six months or a year than something that's 747 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,280 Speaker 1: going to hit the Earth next week. And the reason 748 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 1: is that you have two options. Really, one is deflect 749 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 1: and the other is destroyed. 750 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 4: Deflect or destroy. Yeah, deflect, those are the two options. 751 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 4: If we know something's coming at us, we can deflect 752 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 4: or destroy it. 753 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: Yeah right, we're coming up with great titles for science 754 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: fiction novels. We have into the black deflect or destroy. Right. 755 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,360 Speaker 1: The idea behind deflect is these things are traveling really fast, 756 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: and the Earth is also moving really fast. So if 757 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,359 Speaker 1: you could just nudget a tiny bit like a year 758 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: in advance, it would totally change its trajectory and you 759 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: can miss the Earth by a few minutes. And that's 760 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: all it takes, right, just has to fly by instead 761 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: of smacking into us. The earth is not that easy 762 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: a target to hit. 763 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 4: It's like threading, putting a thread through a needle. Yeah, 764 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 4: it's like it's such a small thing so that if 765 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 4: you can make it go off a little bit, it'll 766 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 4: totally miss the eye of the needle. 767 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. It's like a sniper shooting a thread through a 768 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: needle from a mile away, and if somebody pushes him 769 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 1: very slightly or nudges the tip of his rifle, then 770 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: he's going to miss. And so if you can spot 771 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: this thing a long time in advance and somehow deflect it, 772 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: then you can be safe. But you know, how are 773 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 1: you going to do that? 774 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 4: So how would you do that? Yeah? 775 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd have to build a rocket to go up 776 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: there and visit it somehow. One thing you could do is, 777 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: you know, just bump into it, like send something which 778 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 1: literally bumps into it and deflects it. Another thing you 779 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,840 Speaker 1: could do, it's called a gravity tractor, which is an 780 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: awesome name, is you just send something up there which 781 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: hangs out next to it, and it's gravity gently pulls 782 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 1: on it over a long period of time a few 783 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 1: weeks or months and changes its trajectory. 784 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, like like, hey, what's up standing next to you? 785 00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: Give me a a. 786 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, come here, come here. 787 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. So that's just like yeah, so those would deflect 788 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 1: you know, somehow you could change its trajectory a little bit. 789 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 1: You could save all of our lives. 790 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 4: M okay, but you have to know way in advance, 791 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 4: like you have to see it coming. 792 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you have to be able to get there. 793 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: And we don't have great technology there. I mean, we 794 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: have pretty slow rockets. It would take a long time 795 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 1: to get something to Mars, for example, and so to 796 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 1: get something to like Jupiter, even if you see it coming, 797 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 1: we'd need much much faster rockets. And so people have 798 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,359 Speaker 1: ideas for you know, like plasma based rockets. It could 799 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: be much faster to deflect this stuff. But we don't 800 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: have the technology. Like if we saw tomorrow a comment 801 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 1: that was going to hit the Earth in a year, 802 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 1: we're not like ready to launch with some awesome rocket 803 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 1: that could do this. It would take us years to 804 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: develop that rocket. It's just not a priority right now. 805 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 4: That's option A deflected. Option B is destroyed, destroy it, right. 806 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 1: So you think, oh, it's just send up a nuke, right, 807 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: But what happens if you're if the asteroid at the 808 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 1: comment is like about to hit the Earth like tomorrow, 809 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 1: and you send up a nuke to blow it up, 810 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: well you're just going to create like a thousand tiny 811 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 1: bombs instead of one huge bomb, right, And. 812 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 4: That's how a thousand radioactive tiny. 813 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,919 Speaker 1: Bombs ext It doesn't really help you because it still 814 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,160 Speaker 1: delivers all that energy onto the Earth. So you have 815 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 1: to blow it up far enough in advance that then 816 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: the pieces are going to miss the Earth. And also 817 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: it depends on like what is it made out of. 818 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,319 Speaker 1: Is it a loosely held ball of rubble and which 819 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 1: case blowing it up doesn't really change very much, or 820 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,720 Speaker 1: is it a tightly bound rock, in which case blowing 821 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 1: it up could fracture it. And then you get two rocks, 822 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,840 Speaker 1: each of which like pass just on the side of 823 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,840 Speaker 1: the Earth. Like, it depends a lot of those details. 824 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 4: Do you have to be lucky. 825 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,879 Speaker 1: You have to be lucky, and you have to get 826 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 1: it early enough, so you can't just sit here and say, oh, 827 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:44,959 Speaker 1: we'll blow it up when it gets here, right, that's 828 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: not a good idea. That might as well just blow yourself. 829 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 4: Up, all right, So let's recap. Let's see, is an 830 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,320 Speaker 4: asteroid going to kill us all? And first we learned 831 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,439 Speaker 4: that we're surrounding our asteroids. There's a bunch of them 832 00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 4: in our own solar system, and we're gonna get hit 833 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 4: by one. It's going to come from our own solar 834 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 4: system most likely. 835 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: That's right. And there's even other stuff we didn't talk about, 836 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: like there's the stuff outside beyond Neptune and this stuff 837 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: further out there that we didn't even touch on. We 838 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 1: just talked about the stuff in the asteroid belt, which 839 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: is the closest. 840 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 4: Those are the ones we've seen. Yeah, okay, but the 841 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 4: bigger they are, the more likely they are to kill us. 842 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 4: But also the bigger they are, the more likely that 843 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 4: we have seen them and we know they're they're and 844 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 4: we're tracking them. 845 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,800 Speaker 1: That's right. And all the big ones in the Solar 846 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: System that are potentially planet killers or human extinction makers, 847 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 1: we've seen those guys, and we're pretty sure that the next 848 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 1: one hundred years is clear. That's, you know, according to 849 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: the good work done by our pals at NASA. 850 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 4: But even more dangerous could be a comet more than 851 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 4: an asteroid, because those could come out of the blue 852 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 4: and out of the black. People won't see them coming 853 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 4: out of the void. Let's go the void the generic 854 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 4: term there. And so it's a comment which you'd maybe 855 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 4: be more worried about. 856 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and comments are more worrisome because they're potentially going 857 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,840 Speaker 1: faster and they're harder to spot. We wouldn't necessarily have 858 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: seen them, and we have an example of one hitting 859 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 1: a planet just in the last few decades, so it's 860 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,800 Speaker 1: not just a crazy science fiction idea. 861 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 4: So the strategy is look out and make sure that 862 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,840 Speaker 4: we see them early enough so we can do things 863 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,280 Speaker 4: like deflected or destroyed. 864 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 1: That's right. So we should definitely keep funding NASA because 865 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 1: it's only because of NASA and their worldwide partners that 866 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 1: we have any idea about what's out there. But we 867 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 1: also desperately need to get cracking on some defense systems, 868 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 1: you know, building things that can go out there and 869 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,320 Speaker 1: protect us in case this happens or you know. Another 870 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 1: strategy is like, let's spread the human eggs out of 871 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: just this basket onto some others, because it's very unlikely 872 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,400 Speaker 1: that like Earth and Mars are both going to be 873 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 1: hit by an asteroids simultaneous, right, So if we could 874 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: like get humans planet. Yeah exactly. I mean this is 875 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 1: the kind of stuff we should be working on. 876 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 4: Well cool, I feel great now. 877 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 1: I think it's fascinating that most people go through their 878 00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: lives and don't worry about these existential threats because you can't. 879 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 1: There's nothing that you can do about it. It's not 880 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: like if you spent five minutes of your day working 881 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 1: on this problem, it's going to help humanity or something, right, 882 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,799 Speaker 1: But it is important that we all think about this 883 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,239 Speaker 1: when it comes to time to like funding science and 884 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 1: basic research and NASA, because that's when we can do 885 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: something about it. When we support candidates that support basic research, 886 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,320 Speaker 1: that's when you're helping the planetary defense system. 887 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 4: Right. Well, technically everything's an existential crisis to you, right, 888 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,440 Speaker 4: Like getting hit by a truck. That's a pretty existential 889 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 4: crisis for you. 890 00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 1: You wouldn't worry truck. 891 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, great, every night worried about you? 892 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:38,799 Speaker 3: Then? 893 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:40,400 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. 894 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 4: Please be careful when you cross the street. 895 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 1: Please, I'll look up from my phone, I promise. 896 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:47,520 Speaker 4: All right, Well, thank you for joining us. 897 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 1: Thank you very much for listening to us. Worry about 898 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,799 Speaker 1: the end of the world, and keep your eyes on 899 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 1: the sky. 900 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, look out for the void, Watch out. 901 00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: For the void. Do you have a question you wish 902 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 1: we would cover, Send it to us. We'd love to 903 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: hear from you.

When you pop 906 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 1: a piece of cheese into your mouth, you're probably not 907 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 1: thinking about the environmental impact. But the people in the 908 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 1: dairy industry are. That's why they're working hard every day 909 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: to find new ways to reduce waste, conserve natural resources, 910 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,720 Speaker 1: and drive down greenhouse gas emissions. How is us dairy 911 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,839 Speaker 1: tackling greenhouse gases? Many farms use anaerobic digestors to turn 912 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:53,400 Speaker 1: the methane from manure into renewable energy that can power farms, towns, 913 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 1: and electric cars.
