I wish you had mentioned US Naval Captain Harry Hess, a geologist in civilian life, who sailed many missions back and forth across the Atlantic during WWII. He had the brilliant idea of towing a magnetometer behind his ship and recording the data. This was the discovery of the strips of basalt with alternating magnetivity along the mid-Atlantic Ridge. This discovery, along with other significant ones, led to the formulation of plate tectonic theory at the famous Asilomar conference in 1970. There has been an accumulation of evidence to support this theory, one of the most important of all science, in the 50+ years since.

@LTrain 45 🤔 Artistic and aesthetic are not the same thing. I don't think they were trying to be artistic, but having a sense of aesthetics is necessary in any creative endeavor, especially in teaching where logical presentation has it's own intellectual aesthetic beauty. Plus, research proves that we learn better when our emotions are involved, so a straightforward, dry, unstimulating presentation would not be as effective. It also seems you are a rare exception considering the profusion of compliments the video has received, but you're in good company. Many geniuses deplored idle entertainment and lacked any appreciation for artistic pursuits.

Always found it absolutely fascinating how skip would be hitting so hard that local traffic was nigh impossible, and then boom all of a sudden dead quiet and no skip at all for quite some time and local traffic was eerily easy. Me and my best CB friend also got to work "short skip" from Michigan to Quebec during the big geomagnetic storm of 1989, which was a sight I will never forget. The sky looked 100% like the end of the world had come, with red and green aurora filling the entire sky in a rippling starburst shape and bright enough to read by clear till about 4AM. Good times, I miss all that.

Another top notch video. The narrator is a natural, with a voice made for narration, and the researcher really knows her stuff and has a way of presenting them to people with no scientific background in a way that is accessible. Kudos to both! The one small "thing" (not exactly a "beef", more of a "pet peeve") I can object to, but this is not your "fault" alone, everyone somehow does this (maybe it is the "legacy" of the American TV of the last 50 years?); speaking about how the next "super flare" COULD wipe out our electronic infrastructure - and it COULD! - but making it sound like it WILL, 100%. Since it happened once it will happen again BUT many things have to "align" perfectly for a repeat performance (the intensity and duration of the flare, the alignment of the Earth relative to the Sun at a specific point in time, the speed of the ejecta, the list is quite long). I guess in, say, one thousand years it will happen again but can we say for sure that the NEXT one is going to "kill" our civilization? I guess not. Still, this minor "thing" of mine aside, a great video once again!!

They have indeed done exactly that, but they aren't the main cause of the heat. Just to be clear, though - they aren't in the core, they're in the upper mantle and crust.

Apparently the Earth has been though thousands of these "wandering reversals" over billions of years and while they could have damaged the DNA of some plants and animals it certainly hasn't resulted in any extinction-type of events. Now, however, while animals that use magnetic fields for navigation would be severely affected the main danger is for humans. If the electrical grid should be destroyed, which it almost certainly would be, mass starvation would occur. Estimates are that it would take two decades to rebuild it due to the fact that all the components, (making steel, wires, rubber or plastic components, circuit boards, dynamos, etc.), require electricity to make. Trucks can't run without gasoline and that requires electricity to make. Only a tiny percentage of people live within walking distance of a food source such as a farm and those places would be overrun or brutally defended. All that said, I don't see that getting excited and worried over the possibility of a catastrophic flare is realistic or productive. The current warming of the planet is potentially far more destructive and is very real; we should concentrate on that and simply try to prepare for a flare without getting too worried about it.

During my education as a geologist in the early 80’s, the hypothesis for the generation of heat in the inner core was the entrainment of heavy, radionuclides in the core. During the early formation of the earth, the heavier elements were mostly concentrated by gravitational differentiation into the inner layers of the planet. As these radionuclides decay, they produce heat energy, thus powering the convection of heat in the liquid outer core.

I think it was moss or something like that, you have a great researcher will can turn my spotty memories into facts for a video. What about plant life before trees and flowers? Forests today are mostly trees and flowers, but those are relatively recent aren't they? Hundreds of Millions ago it was giant ferns and stuff, right? Also, wasn't there a time before land vertebrates where life on land was all insects? These are the sorts of periods of Earth's past that don't get enough attention.

We are going to need to accept that it’s very likely that all our power and internet will be off for at least a year. We will have to learn to live without it.

As for the concentric spheres of earth's interior, I am reminded of Don Scott's model of a Birkeland Current as counter-rotating concentric rings(magnetic flux tubes). These structures are a type of double-layer seen in a plasma where charge separates(Alfvenn). Two currents can produce a pinch effect, Faraday observed this in physical wires and has been replicated in plasma labs and produce a plasmoid, a tiny but highly charged ball of energy which draws heavy elements to its core with lighter elements on the surface. This self-organizing ability of a plasma is integral to the development of life, in my opinion. I posit that it is a plasmoid in earth's core fed via the incoming electrons at the poles that produces the 6000* temperatures. And the concentric spheres are a product of double layering seen also in the chemistry of earth's atmosphere. Speaking of Birkeland, it was he who took those Terrallas, the magnetized ball and put it in a vacuum chamber, via the experiments he produced the rings of saturn, the auroras and posited electric corpuscles in space(solar wind). Taking this a step further, the Safire project has by manipulating these double layers produced 14 times thermal over-unity. We live in interesting times.

So far I believe the only reason for the category of a 'solid' core is because of earthquake wave readings that bounce off that layer. There must be questions? This video is saying 'layers' and expert people in comments are saying the layers are driven in different directions. What if a wave simply bounced off a layer going a different direction from the Crust, or actual rotation of Earth?? Or maybe the core has an extra strong and very low pulse, would that interfere with an Earthquake wave?

Eureka! This just gave me an idea. Maybe the key to interstellar space travel is in the "stella's" themselves. If you can build a massive cannon in space that can harness the energy caused by coronal mass ejections, you can perhaps create a beam of energy which could push a small craft to relativistic speeds. Possible?

Great series so far, my only comment on this is that modern satellites have very little to do with global communication. M hop satellite communication can add one to three seconds latency, which on a bidirectional communication is extremely noticeable. Satellites also have extremely limited bandwidth so nothing like our modern internet would be possible over that. Most global communication is handled via extremely long underwater intercontinental cables. Those cables are shielded quite nicely by the ridiculous volume of water that we call Oceans. Knocking out all the satellites would disrupt weather measurements, legacy broadcast channels and any remote homes internet.

Why is this information not more mainstream. This is possibly related to what Tesla spent his time researching. Reminds me of the "Oklo reactor" in Africa. It was a naturally occurring system that functioned as a nuclear reactor that we only discovered because of "missing uranium". The uranium was missing because it had been used up.

The Magnetic field is generated as a result of the Birkland Current that directly attaches us to the sun. This in turn passes through the earths core witch is spinning and creates the magnetic field.

I remember reading something about magnetic anomalies at sea long ago.. that the field strenght is weakened, and also reversed in polarity some plases, the moest famous and studied of these was somewhere soutwest of South-Africa i think,, and there was a theory that this possebly could be an indicator of exatly what you describe in the later part of this video... (total polarity reversal). I have a hard time seeing myself live long enough for this to be a serious problem within my liftime tho... But a direct hit from a superflare, protuberanses and a corona mass ejection is ofc an other matter. It would realy hurt humanity today! We, as a sosiety, are much less resilient to technology-faliures today, then we were in 1859. Love your videos 👍

This is probably what I worry about most, as far as impactful events. If you sit and imagine what would happen if all the lights go out, and all electronics were to get fried.. we'd have to rebuild everything, from refrigerators to phones, to the equipment and machines that make them. Everything we know requires electricity. We treat it like an eternal life force that will always provide, but in actuality it's far from guaranteed and highly susceptible to nature. For most people its sudden loss would be the equivalent of taking a newborn baby away from its mother and telling it it has to survive on its own. This is how dependant we are on electronics. Everything. Everyone in the world without electricity for a long time, the dire consequences and real possibility of this should make the world concerned with having a safety net, but no one sees past their own little bubble.

@@HistoryoftheEarth don't forget to make a distinction between anoxygenic and oxygenic photosynthesis, please. I am tired of hearing again and again in documentaries and other videos the false equivalence between photosynthesis in general and the oxygenic one... They always speak as if before the event and before the cyanobacteria photosynthesis didn't exist 🤦, while in reality it had been evolving and powering the ancient biosphere for at least billion years before the cyanobacteria combined two photosystems in their cells and "learned" to split water. And there are many different variants of anoxygenic photosynthesis too, some of which like iron photosynthesis and manganese photosynthesis were probably very important in evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis. So, please, get it right 🙏 Sincerely, from a humble cyanobacteriologist

Actually the magnetic needle points between two magnetic north poles, one over Canada one over Siberia. A secret hidden in plain sight. So the magnetic chaos with poles all over Earth is probably very close.

Yes, if the magnetic poles reach a point during the reversal flip, the weaker magnetic fields could be a disaster for us. Also how long we would be in a weaker magnetic protection while the pole flip is going on. Hope I am not around if this should happen.
