Let's talk about some big news today! Scientists in Switzerland have discovered that the earth beneath their feet may be running out of power! Isn't it a bit like a scene in science fiction? But this time it's not a fictional story, it's a real movement in the core of the earth.
Let's popularize science first, our earth's core, well, is the "heart" part, which has been silently rotating, like a giant generator. This guy has been generating a magnetic field for our earth, resisting the invasion of the solar wind and protecting us from being beaten by cosmic radiation. But now, it seems that the generator is a little tired, and the rotation speed is slowing down, a bit like the battery is dead.
Imagine if the earth really ran out of power, then nothing could be done. First of all, the plates will collide fiercely, and the global ** will turn you upside down. This level of crustal movement, not to mention buildings, even iron-clad bridges will suddenly turn into flying fragments.
Don't look at the smartphones we are all using now, once the battery runs out, then all the navigation and compass are useless. Species can also migrate in a chaotic way, and you think, birds flying south may become more lost than white rabbits, and sea turtles may not even be able to find a beach to lay their eggs.
The most worrying thing is that the earth, which has lost its magnetic field, will suffer from the baptism of cosmic radiation, just like astronauts who do not wear radiation suits. Energetic particles can cause great harm to all life on Earth, damaging the DNA of life, causing genetic mutations and cancer. The whole earth has become a giant microwave oven, and it is not a small matter to cook it.
At that time, your mobile phone was a pile of scrap metal, and the power infrastructure around the world was destroyed. Human civilization may permanently lose power** and die out of cold and hunger. It's an apocalyptic show.
Of course, don't be afraid, these are assumptions. The current state of the Earth's inner core is actually not that serious, isn't it a bit like the "imaginary" sign you see in the movie theater? Although the inland nuclear power is lazily stopped, the field nuclear is still holding firm, and the generator is still humming.
The good news, however, is that all of this is still hypothetical for now. Because the state of the nuclear power in the mainland has been misread by some people. Although the inner core is decelerating and rotating, it is the outer core that really plays a role in generating the magnetic field, and its condition is normal at present. Scientists believe that the slowdown in the rotation of the inner core will not have a substantial impact on the Earth.
Therefore, everyone can continue to swipe their mobile phones and play games with peace of mind, without worrying that when they wake up, the earth will become a big cake that is "baked" and yellowed. Of course, this also reminds us that scientists must continue to keep an eye on this "heart of the earth", otherwise the next news headline that the earth is out of power will not be so light-hearted and humorous.
However, then again, this story gives us a little bit of sci-fi ** feeling. The inner part of the earth is a bit like a cosmic version of a superhero, silently fighting every day to defend the earth from the cosmic storm. Just like the stories in those movies, don't you feel a little "burning"?
Moreover, humanity's future of the planet is still full of unknowns. What we know about the Earth's interior is just the tip of the iceberg, and future discoveries may surprise us even more. The survival of human civilization always seems to be teetering on the brink of vulnerability, and we cannot afford to take the future of the planet lightly.
Well, listeners, that's all for today's science story. Remember, although the earth's inner core is a little small, it is still safe and stable, everyone can continue to live happily, and don't forget the *** channel, which will bring you the latest and most burning scientific news at any time!
