And of course, the trees need this light. It's their breakfast, lunch and dinner. So it'd actually be quite odd if trees were symmetrical, bearing in mind You know, light is what's feeding them. So what they tend to do is they respond to these stimuli like light, and they actually just grow more on their southern side.

So if you look at a tree from all directions, you walk around one, you'll very quickly realize that there's no such thing as a symmetrical tree. And on average, there's just more tree. There are bigger branches and more branches and more leaves on the southern side. I never knew that.

Yeah, if you ask anyone to draw a tree, it doesn't matter if they're five years old or 95 years old, they'll draw a symmetrical tree. It's sort of how we imagine a tree. But of the X billion trees on planet Earth, there isn't one symmetrical one. They are all asymmetrical. And one of the kind of core ideas of my work is that two sides of everything are different.

will tell us something about where we are it'll tell us something about either direction or or possibly what the wind has been doing and and through that we can start to build up a richer picture of what's going on around us so tell me some other things like that that i don't know well i'll put myself on the spot here you tell me one thing you've seen uh and we haven't prepped this i genuinely have no idea what you're going to say tell me something you've seen outdoors in the in the last few days

Well, I saw fog when I woke up this morning. It was foggy outside. Okay. So fog, the simplest way to think of it is it's a low cloud. There are different types of fog, but if you see fog early in the morning, it's a counterintuitive sign that actually the weather's probably going to be quite good because it's a type of fog called radiation fog.

And what happens when we see fog very near the start of the day is it's actually a sign that the sky's been clear overnight. heat has radiated out of the land, the land has grown very cold, and moist air when it touches cold land forms this blanket of fog in the morning. So if it's a still morning, and you walk out into fog, there's a pretty good chance the sun will be shining by lunchtime.
