I know neutrino detector and beam is used to screen through Fukushima nuclear rectors to get a picture how the melted core inside looks like. Neutrino thing is very in its infancy but very precise atomic clock approach is long known.

      Fusion research looking at particle scattering in the plasma deals with exactly this scenario. There's also an application for this in the early universe where you get to factor in relativistic effects along domain fronts formed as the universe expands, which might help address why there is so much more matter than antimatter in the universe, depending on what still undiscovered physics you decide to include in your calculations.
      I'm pretty sure the fusion people have the more complicated scenario though, because they actually need fine details where the cosmologists and particle physicists can just worry about average everything (probably).

    Thanks for sharing such a detailed video. I don't know why scientists never mention solar activity such as long periods of solar intensity (modern maximum) or the repeating cycle called the grand solar minimum. It's not a coincidence that the poles are moving faster and the previous 4 solar cycles have had less sun spots with a weakening magnetic field. Then there's the south Atlantic anomaly which looks like it's preparing itself to become either a north or south pole. Just wanted to add, imagine if the sun was to hibernate then any notion of a magnetic field on earth is laughable. The driver for the magnetic field must surely be the sun! These satellites are simply measuring the effect that the sun has on our planet.
    For years now I've seen stories upon stories about migrating animals flying or moving to the wrong place following their inner compass and then dying in a horrific "mass die off". I think humans are in trouble if we experience an excursion because our bodies rely on the magnetic field too. Life expectancy will go back down to low numbers as we try and adapt to the change in polarity. We're in serious trouble. Thanks 👍

    183 documented reversals in the past 83 million years (see comment below) of the magnetic pole flipping. They can see it in rocks from different time periods. This is a scientific fact. It's not a debatable issue like some people seem to think.

      Nobody doubts it. But I could be wrong. Many scientific facts are doubted by many idiots/flat eathers/climate change denialers and so on.

      Unfortunately the flip occurs every 12000 years so there have been many more reversals than documented.

      @j carlton There have been 183 documented reversals in the past 83 million years. There are also thousands of short term and temporary reversals. I witnessed one in the late 80's when a huge CME (Coronal mass ejection) from the sun hit Earth and overwhelmed our magnetic field. I watched (With my own eyes) as my compass pointed SOUTH for 11 minutes. (Instead of North.)

    Where does the seed magnetic field come from?

    • @False798
      @False798 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It could have come from any source that created even the tiniest of electrical currents or electromagnetic fields; the magnetic field would induce a difference in voltage in the Earth between two points, cause current to flow and a new electromagnetic field generated which would feed more induction, more current paths until you have a self-exciting planetary magnetic field - but that is just my opinion.
