: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?
:26:00
Feel free to throw up.
I know I did.
:26:03
So, how do we fix it?
:26:06
We can't.
:26:06
Not in my vocabulary.
:26:08
Then you might want
to get one of those
:26:09
Word-A-Day calendars,
General, because
:26:11
it's impossible.
:26:11
The core is the size
of Mars.
:26:13
You're talking about
jump-starting a planet.
:26:14
This is a superheated
hyper-fluid
:26:16
of molten iron and nickel
at 9,000 degrees Fahrenheit,
:26:19
2,000 miles down,
1,000 miles thick.
:26:21
And the deepest we've ever been
is... seven miles
:26:25
with a two-inch drill bit.
:26:27
If we can go into space,
we certainly...
:26:28
Well, space is easy.
:26:29
It's empty.
:26:30
We're talking
about millions of pounds
:26:32
of pressure
per square inch.
:26:33
Even if we somehow
came up with a brilliant plan
:26:37
to fix the core,
we just can't get there.
:26:39
Yes, but...
:26:46
...what if we could?
