That did not happen.
So the thing is acting like it's not even interacting with the water.
Yet, we have sonar records from this, which mean sonar works by water molecules banging on things, right, and bouncing off.
So the water molecules are bouncing off this thing, but it's not interacting with the water all at the same time.
How this works, I have no explanation for this.
But that's the data.
Now what do you do?
It's a really perplexing.
These things are really not simple.
My colleague Matthew Shadalgus has been working on studying debris from purported crashes.
Really?
Yeah.
He has a new technique for detecting isotopes using neutron activations.
So he's developed this technique and he's been working on this furiously for the last couple of months.
Mass pack, you basically, typically you dissolve the material in nitric acid and then you spray it into some electric plates that basically electrify it, ionize it, and then you shoot it into a magnetic field, that constant magnetic field, the thing will move in a circle.
So, and the radius of the circle depends on the mass.
So then it hits a screen depending on where the mass is, it changes where it hits the screen.
So you can measure the mass of the isotopes inside that spray.
Right.
Exactly.
