And what he said is that every once in a while on a clockwork basis, there is a volley of cosmic rays that comes, cosmic rays that come from the center of our Milky Way
And cosmic rays, like they're passing through you and me right now because we're mostly empty.
You know, we're 99.999% nothing.
Neutrinos and stuff like that.
And when they pass into the crust of the Earth, nothing happens.
In the core, the core is so dense, Joe, because of the pressure of the Earth.
And it's so dense that those, they can't pass through.
And that actually causes what's called perturbations.
And it begins to heat the core of the Earth.
And that causes, it shifts rotation.
And right now, Japanese scientists are saying that the core has slowed or possibly even stopped.
I don't know if your guests have talked about that.
And as the core goes through these cycles, so you look at a cross-section of the Earth, there's the inner core that's solid.
The outer core is molten.
Then the mantle is about 1,800 miles thick, and it's magma.
And then the crust is only about 36 miles thick.
So in the textbooks, the inner core always looks like it's floating right in the middle of the earth, but that's not what's happening.
When those particles are hitting it and heating it up, it actually bumps up against the outer core, causing ripples, perturbations is what they're called, against the mantle.
