Swirling Liquid Metal Oceans

[00:00] Okay, let's move on to America's new favorite game show segment.
[00:09] That's right.
[00:11] The Undo Googables.
[00:13] We do an Undo Googables.
[00:26] That was the play of Super Excited.
[00:28] I told us we had to.
[00:30] We said we signed up for it.
[00:34] In the end, it's going to be better and more true than Google can give you.
[00:43] I don't know about you guys.
[00:45] I really enjoyed this.
[00:47] Fans, send us in your Google little things.
[00:49] Well, so here's the thing.
[00:51] I know what's happening out there in Pacer Nation.
[00:53] I know all of you think somebody else is going to do it.
[00:56] I know you assume that everybody else is sending in their things they Googled this week.
[01:02] You can just sit back and enjoy.
[01:04] But I need full participation.
[01:06] If you love this show, you need to go ahead and send us interesting things you Googled this week
[01:12] so that we can have lots to pick through.
[01:15] A little bit of Slim Pickens this week.
[01:19] I was going to use what I Googled this week, but then I would know the answer.
[01:28] The Meaning of the Doctor Strange Easter Eggs.
[01:31] Shout out, that's a good movie.
[01:33] Go see it.
[01:35] I Googled that.
[01:37] But I already know the answer.
[01:39] What I did was I went online and I found most asked questions on Google by state.
[01:46] So I figured we'd go through these with the three states that we're in.
[01:51] Okay.
[01:52] Indiana.
[01:53] Is it in Alabama?
[01:54] No, no, no.
[01:55] It's just the three states we live in.
[01:57] Damn it.
[01:58] Indiana, how many states are there?
[02:01] So I'm going to go ahead and answer that one for you real fast.
[02:03] That's 50.
[02:04] So we got that one.
[02:06] We locked that one in.
[02:08] I'm so ashamed of that, bro.
[02:11] D.C., where is Obama today?
[02:15] So I don't know if we can answer that one, but you got a lot of people that are trying to track Obama.
[02:20] We can wage certainly some educated guesses on that.
[02:24] I'm assuming he's in the White House?
[02:27] Oh, no.
[02:28] I'm going to go to Pennsylvania.
[02:29] Oh, no.
[02:30] He's on the campaign trail.
[02:31] Oh, right, right, right.
[02:32] I'm going to go to Pennsylvania or Ohio.
[02:33] I would say Florida or Ohio or Colorado.
[02:39] North Carolina, worried about that.
[02:41] And since we said today, it could be all three.
[02:44] Yes, good call.
[02:45] He said at least one of those places today.
[02:48] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[02:49] And then Oregon, number one question asked on Google.
[02:53] How much is weed?
[02:54] No, no, no.
[02:56] Should I move to Portland?
[02:58] So, Harper, you can go ahead and answer that one.
[03:01] Hells yes.
[03:02] There you go.
[03:03] There we go.
[03:04] That's the three I've got.
[03:06] But I do have a couple that I got from my roommate here.
[03:13] The longest continuous mountain range.
[03:17] Do we know that?
[03:21] Longest continuous mountain range?
[03:23] Yeah.
[03:26] Okay, so what do we got options wise?
[03:29] You got the Rockies?
[03:30] The Rockies.
[03:31] And is that connected to the?
[03:33] And did you count that that goes all the way through Central America
[03:36] and down through South America?
[03:37] Yeah, that's what I'm wondering.
[03:38] That's what I'm guessing, right?
[03:39] And to the Andes?
[03:40] I think the Andes and the Rockies are different mountain ranges.
[03:42] I think so too.
[03:43] But I, I mean, my thought was the Andes.
[03:49] Oh, you think that's longer.
[03:53] I don't know.
[03:54] Interesting.
[03:55] But that was my thought.
[03:56] And it's not some weird thing like the Alps or something.
[04:00] I mean.
[04:01] Or like the Himalayas.
[04:02] Europe's so small.
[04:03] The Himalayas.
[04:04] Oh, is there like.
[04:06] The Himalayas go, oh no, yeah, it's probably not as far.
[04:11] Europe is very small.
[04:15] But Mongolia is gigantic.
[04:18] Yeah.
[04:19] And the Himalayas go basically the entire east west of Mongolia
[04:29] and the northern tip of India, right?
[04:33] But I agree.
[04:34] I think it's either the Rockies or the Andes is my guess.
[04:38] And I want to say it's.
[04:42] Yeah, maybe it's my northern hemisphere bias.
[04:45] All the globes that I've been looked at looking at have
[04:48] disproportionately represented the southern hemisphere.
[04:51] So the Rockies.
[04:55] But that means it's probably the Andes.
[04:57] Jason's got the Rockies.
[04:59] I will go with the Andes to be disputatious.
[05:05] Pacer Nation.
[05:06] The answer is South America is really big.
[05:08] It's going to be the Andes.
[05:11] What's Google's answer?
[05:15] Is that the correct answer?
[05:17] The Andes.
[05:20] 7,000 kilometers.
[05:23] The only other one I have is what is Jupiter made of?
[05:28] It's just like gas and ice.
[05:32] It's like we have to name the gas?
[05:33] No, it's just like gas and ice, right?
[05:35] I don't think there's ice.
[05:38] No ice, just gas.
[05:39] I think it's a gaseous planet.
[05:41] So do we need to name the gas?
[05:43] It's a gas giant.
[05:48] Right.
[05:49] But it's fairly cold as well, right?
[05:54] Sure.
[05:57] Maybe the better question is, is there...
[06:03] I mean, ice is frozen water, right?
[06:06] Mm-hmm.
[06:07] Is there something that you would hit, right?
[06:12] Is it cold enough that some of these gases are freezing?
[06:16] Hmm.
[06:19] Now, one would think it would get warmer as you get closer to the center of the planet.
[06:27] That's a good question.
[06:28] Probably not.
[06:35] And my impression has always been that it is just...
[06:39] Swirling gas.
[06:41] Swirling gas, yeah.
[06:44] That the whole thing is just dense gas.
[06:48] Okay.
[06:49] We don't know what kind of gas.
[06:50] Same with all of the planets outside of...
[06:53] Right?
[06:54] Aren't like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all gas giants?
[07:01] There's like...
[07:03] There's nothing solid to them, but then the rings of Saturn have like...
[07:08] Comets and stuff.
[07:09] Rocks in them and stuff.
[07:10] Yeah.
[07:11] Yeah.
[07:12] Composed rocks.
[07:13] Sure.
[07:14] I feel like you can't just like jump through Neptune and be okay, right?
[07:18] Like, I feel like you'd hit something.
[07:20] Why don't if you would hit something, but you would definitely...
[07:24] You're wearing a spacesuit, sure.
[07:26] That solves all the problems.
[07:30] So could you jump through Neptune is the new question.
[07:35] But is it a situation where like the density is so...
[07:43] Like the gravitational force is so high?
[07:46] I think that's the issue.
[07:48] Right.
[07:49] Even though it's gaseous...
[07:50] But there's still gas.
[07:51] Yeah.
[07:52] Even though it's gaseous, the gravitational force is so large that it would still mess
[07:57] you up.
[07:58] Well, and is it pulling...
[07:59] That's just funky to think about, man, that the center of the planet Jupiter is just
[08:04] gas that's like so dense that it has a gravitational force.
[08:09] That's massive.
[08:10] Is it pulling in objects though?
[08:12] Like, would you get hit by something?
[08:14] Is it because of the gravitational...
[08:15] Things, moons orbit around it.
[08:17] Right.
[08:18] But there's nothing inside that gas bowl.
[08:22] I mean, maybe there are transient things that...
[08:25] But nothing permanent.
[08:26] That coalesce and then, yeah.
[08:30] And then are broken back apart.
[08:32] And it may be that we don't really know the answer.
[08:34] Maybe there is some weird small rocky core in there that got trapped over the past
[08:39] several billion years or something.
[08:41] Right.
[08:43] And doesn't Jupiter have its own weather?
[08:46] There's definitely that huge storm.
[08:50] But is that storm...
[08:51] Is there precipitation falling in that storm?
[08:54] Yeah, but it's like liquid mercury or something.
[08:58] So they definitely have liquids at some point.
[09:02] So that means you could have frozen liquids potentially and have ice, right?
[09:05] Or not ice, but...
[09:08] Right, as they get closer to the center.
[09:10] But again, as you get closer to the center, more gravity, more pressure, more heat.
[09:14] More heat.
[09:15] Yeah.
[09:16] Less solids.
[09:19] So what kind of gas would it be?
[09:21] I don't know enough of the gas.
[09:23] It's super toxic crap.
[09:24] It's all a bunch of sulfur and mercury and...
[09:27] Okay.
[09:28] Nitrogen.
[09:30] Yeah.
[09:31] Mercury vapors everywhere.
[09:33] Horrible.
[09:35] Should we look it up?
[09:36] Yep.
[09:39] Let's do it.
[09:40] What was the question?
[09:41] What is Jupiter made of?
[09:43] And so we said mercury vapors.
[09:48] We said gas.
[09:51] Because they're in general.
[09:52] Hydrogen.
[09:56] Hmm.
[09:58] Okay.
[09:59] Its atmosphere is made up mostly of hydrogen and helium.
[10:04] Though the issue isn't entirely settled, most astronomers believe that there is a solid core
[10:09] of heavy elements at the center of both Jupiter and Saturn.
[10:13] And most other gas giants as well.
[10:18] This ball is not unlike Earth itself, though denser and with a truly nasty surrounding atmosphere.
[10:25] So what we're looking...
[10:26] So the pictures of Jupiter...
[10:28] Is really the atmosphere?
[10:29] We're just looking at their clouds.
[10:31] Yeah, their atmosphere.
[10:32] Yeah, those are all clouds.
[10:33] That's weird.
[10:34] Oh, I didn't know.
[10:35] Because to the extent that there is a surface, it'd be thousands of miles beneath that.
[10:43] If indeed there is any surface.
[10:46] So we haven't sent a probe in that bad boy?
[10:50] I think you can send a probe in, I just don't think you can get signals out.
[10:55] It does have, according to NASA, the strongest magnetic field in the solar system.
[11:02] Yeah.
[11:03] In the solar system, I like it.
[11:06] As Jupiter spins, the swirling liquid metal ocean creates the strongest magnetic field
[11:12] in the solar system.
[11:14] So swirling liquid metal ocean has magnificence.
[11:17] Interesting.
[11:18] Who knew?
[11:19] And Jupiter has 53 moons.
[11:27] I'm not sure that we proved we knew anything, but we sure proved Jupiter's badass.
[11:31] Yeah, that's pretty cool.
[11:32] Jupiter's awesome.
[11:33] Wait, what?
[11:34] This doesn't even make sense.
[11:37] Jupiter has 53 named moons.
[11:41] Scientists have discovered 14 more, but oh, they haven't named them yet.
[11:46] I see.
[11:47] So there's 67 moons.
[11:49] And that seems like a really small number if you think about it.
[11:53] I mean, Saturn is literally surrounded, as is Jupiter for that matter, in Neptune, by
[11:59] hundreds of thousands of little tiny satellites, right, so it constitutes a man.
[12:09] For next week, what constitutes a man?
