It's so fascinating to discover that by using the sound of the sun we can predict sunspots and magnetic storms fifteen days in advance...this is science fiction!!!

This video assumes that there was only one big bang and that it was the beginning of everything.

The universe looks like the neurons and axions in our brains when you zoom out far enough.

So it means that when those 2 bodies collided, there was a human there that saw how it happened

The extra crater activity on the far side of the moon and the calculations about how this happened, indicate at least that the moon has been with the Earth for a very, very long time. Then the 100+ moons in the rest of solar system indicates it is not uncommon for moons to form and be captured and they just stay there once they have built a defined orbit. And we do know, that we haven't been hit with anything really big in the last 3.8 billion years at least. It overall says that when things settle down gravitationally, they settle down. Odds are on nothing really bad happening to Earth at 99.99% for at least the next 500 million years until the Sun starts to get bigger.

Anything from the BBC can’t be trusted; they are good at editing and lying.

Sorry; this was too slow in providing interesting information for me to continue watching.

Great video. Side observation: One might deduce from this video that women are killing it in astrophysics. But then, this is BBC. Gotta signal the virtue until the very end.

Earth's stronger gravity was probably a large factor in the near side difference. Once tidally locked volcanic activity would be more likely on the facing side. The giant impact hypothesis still need lots on fleshing out before we know more.

Think the extra sulfur is from all those the matches used smoking around the samples during a time when doctors smoked in hospitals.

My grandfather was lucky, he was one of the geologist for the Apollo missions, he studied the moon rocks, he was able to keep 3, and I he gave me one of them.
