Mindscape 264 | Sabine Stanley on What's Inside Planets

The radius of the Earth is over 6,000 kilometers, but the deepest we've ever dug below the surface is only about 12 km. Yet we have a quite reliable idea of the structure of the Earth's interior -- inner core, outer core, mantle, crust -- not to mention pretty good pictures of what's going on inside some other planets. How do we know those things, and what new things are we learning in the exoplanet era? I talk with astrophysicist and planetary scientist Sabine Stanley about how we use gravitation, seismology, magnetic fields, and other tools to learn what's happening inside planets.
Sabine Stanley received a Ph.D. in geophysics from Harvard University. She is currently a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor at Johns Hopkins University. She has been awarded the William Gilbert Award from the American Geophysical Union. Her recent book is What's Hidden Inside Planets?

Sean's expresses an infectious childlike curiosity in this interview.

[@longlostkryptonian5797]

It’s astounding how much we know AND don’t know about these processes. A really captivating subject. Thanks so much for providing this type of content. It’s really appreciated!

[@marycmccarthy6319]

Really captivating - curious to learn more about the ‘Dragonfly” mission to Titan

[@daverei1211]

My hat goes off to planetary science exploration engineers with all of the success we have and what we’ve learned. And thank you to NASA and partners and the USA to fund and share what’s learned. I’m constantly amazed, impressed and grateful that a country and culture does this, and the individuals behind the scenes that make this all happen. Thank you for all of your passion to do all of this science.

This episode is so packed with information. My 2nd time listening to it and I’m still (mentally) unpacking what’s being said. Very good episode

[@StayPrimal]

Thank you to both! Interesting topic can't wait to watch the video

[@lordwolfx]

excellent back and forth! many thanks to the Illustriousness of these 2 participants!

[@ProbablyAbitAnnoying]

Am i the only one waiting for the "ask me anything" ... need it for my bedtime ritual 😂

[@viktorbarkar8228]

Thank you for bringing such a variety of guests and topics ❤❤❤

[@posthocprior]

This was a great interview.

[@gerardlynch8099]

Great interview. Thanks Sean!

[@FABRIZIOZPH]

awesome

[@whirledpeas3477]

Another great interview. Stanley has a wonderful career

[@garydecad6233]

Fantastic discussion

[@daverei1211]

Poor Sean sounds like he has a cold. Get well soon Sean. We love what you do for us.

I used to be scared of the amount of energy it would take to take care of a small mass-loss, but the c^2 podcast is helping me stay motivated. I'll be appy with my final mass if I initially subtract drinking those little containers of milk from my diet or big ones, i won't need tums anytime soon, cos my tum and bum will be coverted from kilos to Little Boy Size, under 100 ounces, don't be jealous though, England still scored a few in the game where Jonah Lomu trounces, so there's hope, he wore number 11, numbers remind of the million thing I've learned from Sean Carroll's explanation of how a ball is seen by many observers when it bounces.

[@sakismpalatsias4106]

So cool 😎

[@kobeyashimaruplays2565]

Over 260 episodes and somehow I always forget you do a solo intro and I’m sitting here like “bro let her talk”

[@nishantbhardwaj9658]

great

[@johnnycharisma162]

How can people be so smart👏

[@deepfritz225]

Hi Sean Carroll! You're a pretty cool dude.

[@bryandraughn9830]

Sean "But there's no currents in my fridge magnets?" That's why it gets colder. Jk😅 So many gold stars! Super interesting episode!

[@sudazima]

she said several points that are against the scientific consensus at this point, quite strange: venus didnt lose its water because its hot, most of its water is just not on the surface because it doesnt have plate tectonics. it may well have more water than earth (tho water tends to aggregate more behind the snow line during formation) venus didnt have a runaway greenhouse effect, it was always like that. its earth that has drawn down most of its atmosphere through life and tectonics. these are some pretty big differences

[@e2e8t]

Could you point to a source describing the current consensus on these topics?

The data shows that there may be an additional cause for global warming which may also have much less time lag and so faster remediation. If this is so all of the planets have ongoing and consistent internal heating from dark matter. This is an ALSO not an instead of GHG controls. If it turns out we can control the temperature of the planet by adjusting the dark matter flow only then do you reevaluate the big picture! The data says the lag time from the sun to the temperature at the poles is about 60 days!! If we prove we can control the temperature of the planet by either redirecting or vaporizing Liquid dark matter then we can think about harnessing that heat or redirecting it to Mars to kick start its magnetic field field or if nothing else warm it up. Alternatively if the earth cools to much we could siphon some from Venus to warm the planet. Assuming the vaporization is done around L1 we could see the change in a week. Redirecting from Venus would take longer. All of the planets in the solar system are showing signs of heating up. Dark matter phase transitions could be a primary climate driver. If the solar system passes through an area of higher liquid dark matter content the planets cores would all receive more heat due to increased phase transitions thus heating the earth from the inside out. The dark matter content may even be virtually the same but the fact that we are facing into the hurricane may increase it’s effects. Heating of the planet from the inside out would result in : Increased ground temperatures Increased sea temperatures Increased nighttime temperatures Increased seismic activity Increased earthquakes We are currently passing through the S1 dark Matter stream. At the winter solstice the earth goes from moving with the S1 stream to moving into it.

Jan 9 01:00 2022 +4 51 North Venus Earth conjunction VENUS TSUNAMI facing the Earth and the planets were slightly closer than the last conjunction 585 days March 18 2022 Concordia Station spiked 39 C degrees due to unusual air patterns near Australia North Pole regions hit 30C above normal Jan 30 2022 ice storm in Texas Aug 13 11:00 2023 -7 41 south Venus Earth conjunction VENUS TSUNAMI was past the outward deflection and on its way back 1166 days also Venus was south of the orbital plane Oct 28 predict a major heat release in the Arctic and Antarctic due to combined tidal affects on the dark matter sphere around the sun in combination with the movement of the barycentre of the Earths location. VENUS TSUNAMI was facing the side and the distance between the planets was further DATES TO WATCH for tsunami rotation ?? Pre and post rotation rates are needed Jan 16-25. 2024 Mercury Venus alignment Mar 07-20 2024 Mercury Jupiter alignment Venus Mars alignment Apr 11-18 2024 Mercury Earth alignment Jupiter Uranus alignment May 20-28 Venus Jupiter Uranus alignment Mercury Mars Saturn ? Neptune ? June 15-23 Mercury Venus alignment Venus atmospheric temperatures from 2009-2017 also were higher after conjunctions Venus atmospheric rotation takes 4 days - atmospheric tsunami takes on average 5 (4.9?) days to circle Venus since 1986 this could be caused by an offset dark mater sphere as a result of wobble induced by overflow of LDM every 5 days when the sphere is closest to the sun. This departing kick is what keeps the offset between Venus and its dark matter sphere which then accumulates LDM for 5 more days. The interval from the data I found varies from 4-6 days the 6 day stretch was after the 2022 conjunction which may have depleted its dark matter reserves resulting in a slower tsunami rotation. The clouds at that level take 5.7 days to circle the planet (tsunami speed = 328 kph) The earths core also has an 8.47 day astronomically induced wobble.(LDM sphere) NASA issued a climate change warning for Mars after Mariner 9 (icecap sublimation) Neptune has been heating up since 2018
