They have, but I can't remember what it is.

You know Gondwanaland, which is one of these.

Do you know who named that?

Is it a friend of the podcast?

No, it's someone you've never heard of.

Oh, let me guess.

But it's someone who shares a name with someone you absolutely have heard of.

These are great clues.

No, it's someone very unlike Chris Rock.

It's Dr. Seuss.

Oh, okay.

Dr. Edward Seuss, who was an Austrian geologist, and he kind of is known as the father of continental drift.

And he was the one who kind of noticed that the fossils in Africa and South America were kind of the same, especially if you look at ferns or really, really old plants.

And so he came up with the idea that we were once a big continent and he called it Gondwanaland.

That's so cool.

But he thought that it wasn't that they came apart and came together.

He thought that the water just filled in the gaps and then disappeared again and then filled in the gaps and disappeared again.

I see.

I think on Venus, like, it's so hot when the crust sort of moves, the inside just comes up and then just fills in the gaps.

Yeah.
