The first meal was like a balanced breakfast where they had like rice.

It's like a traditional Japanese breakfast, rice, eggs.

There was, there was vegetables, some soup, traditional things.

It was a good balance of carbohydrates, of proteins, and very little like high fat, high sugar stuff.

And then the next week, they had donuts, basically, for breakfast with some strawberry milk.

And then they measured physiological things like body temperature and heart rate, as well as compared them in cognitive tests.

And they found that when they had the high sugar, high fat breakfasts, they performed worse on cognitive tests that involved task switching, going from one thing to the other.

just straight up showing that the meal you have affects your your your nervous system your your autonomic nervous system and either triggers your like readiness or your like sleepiness and that was what happened all right well mom i guess you're right i shouldn't eat count chocula and lucky charms before school you can now though oh well because i'm an adult i guess no one can tell me what to do because you're an adult your mom's not stopping you now

Well, so, I mean, you know, the results are interesting.

So asteroids are out there.

We get hit every day by little things all the time.

You sound like my ex, but keep going.

The fact that a big thing could hit us is not a 0% chance.

We need to look into this stuff.

But the going idea for...

stopping an asteroid from hitting Earth is deflection.

The idea is not to destroy it completely.

It's just to nudge it off course, especially if you can do this early on.

If you can do it a decade or more before the potential impact, then it's easier to deflect.

And there's a variety of ways of doing that.
