:24:00
is, uh...
:24:02
well, it's a big, solid chunk
of iron,
:24:04
we think.
:24:05
And that's surrounded
:24:06
by the outer core,
and that is liquid.
:24:08
Yes, but,
:24:10
most importantly, this liquid
is constantly spinning
:24:12
in one direction.
:24:14
So a trillion trillion tons
of hot metal
:24:17
spinning at
a thousand miles an hour, so...
:24:20
Right, so Physics 101...
:24:21
hot metal moving fast
makes an electromagnetic field.
:24:24
This spinning liquid outer core
is the engine
:24:26
that drives the EM Field.
:24:28
And that's where
we have our problem.
:24:31
This engine has stalled.
:24:33
The core of the Earth
has stopped spinning.
:24:38
How could this have happened?
:24:42
We don't know.
:24:46
What's the timeline here?
:24:47
As the EM Field
becomes more and more unstable,
:24:50
we'll start seeing
isolated incidents.
:24:52
One plane
will fall from the sky,
:24:53
and then two, and then...
:24:55
in a few months, anything...
:24:56
everything electronic
will be fried.
:24:58
Static discharges
in the atmosphere
:24:59
will create "super-storms"
with hundreds
:25:01
of lightening strikes
per square mile.
:25:03
After that, it gets bad.
:25:06
The Earth's EM Field
:25:08
shields us from the solar winds,
which are a lethal blend
:25:11
of radioactive particles
and microwaves.
:25:15
When that shield collapses,
microwave radiation
:25:19
will literally
:25:20
cook our planet.
:25:23
Dr. Zimsky.
:25:26
This is the Sun.
:25:27
This is the Earth...
without the EM Field.
:25:32
Would you?
:25:34
Mm-hmm.
:25:44
Three months, gentlemen,
and we're back in the Stone Age.
:25:47
A full year,
the field collapses...
:25:50
and that.
:25:57
May I?
