I just fan the flame. Yeah, I mean Alex This is the problem. I feel like this goes all the way top down. I'm blameless. I'm not at the top. We shared the top I'm blameless. We're all tops here. I'm all three of us all three of us are tops Absolutely, I am I Believe in a live show. We said you were a power bottom, Jesse, actually.
Starting point is 00:01:28 You're right. That's what he said. That's what we both said. Remember, there was that L.A. live show for the Halloween one. I think it was. I get that. Does the alien thing happened? I get that essence. It was during those during the Cryptid Smasher pass.
Starting point is 00:01:41 I forget which one it was, but yeah, that classic segment, classic segment. Uh, what do you got today, but yeah, that classic segment, classic segment. What do you got today, boys? I got a kind of weird one. You got weird ones every week. This one's pretty. Even even for me, like just a little bit weirder. The only believe is I wish there was one more.
Starting point is 00:01:59 I feel like if there's one more, we're like really onto something here. I want to talk. I want to take you to Sioux City, Iowa. You guys familiar with this place? I know of it. I've never been according to ESPN 102.3. Hang on. Is Sioux City, Iowa better or worse than Gulf Breeze, Florida? Well, the reason I want to give the benefit of the doubt is because it's referred to in this article by Ben Coons at ESPN 102.3 ESPN Sioux Falls, the cow town with an opera house. So to me, I feel like the very version of like, babe, the pig, the thing I had a problem with, which Jesse will probably remember, which I said, no culture.
Starting point is 00:02:44 Right. with, which Jesse will probably remember, which I said, no culture, right? What's higher? You're not wrong. What's higher culture than an opera house? Right? Um, sure. Okay. I'll go out to hold your hand and walk down this path. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, let me get to what's weird about this. That's his topic today. That was it. Yeah. I just, I'm just here telling you why I like Sioux City, Iowa. I've never been there. I've never seen it. All I know is this one story. Here's the deal.
Starting point is 00:03:11 It is very nice. Never been. So there was a, according to the Dakota News Now website, there was a vending machine in downtown Sioux City that is located inside of a building called the Francis building. I don't know what this building is. It looks like a typical sort of like big square Midwestern office building. Okay. Like they went to the people that work in the building went to the vending machine to get some snacks. Instead, with all the snacks in one of the slots was a blue crab chilling inside the vending machine, a like a
Starting point is 00:03:51 infra order brachiora crab, like a, like a blue crab. And it died a little bit after they found it inside the vending machine. They found it. They got in there. I don't know. And then it was born there. I don't know. And then KTIV TV in Sioux City said that in the computer lab at the library, somebody else found another blue crab just chilling in the library. Okay. So that's what's going on.
Starting point is 00:04:22 And if you don't know where Sioux City, Iowa is just real quick, like look at it on a crab. Yeah, it can't be a lot of crabs out that way. That's what I'm saying. Like it's pretty in the middle. You know, it's pretty, it's pretty not by water. Let's say that it's almost like in the very center of the United States. Like you're close to the lakes ish, but you're like almost central on a map of the United States. Like you're close to the lakes-ish, but you're like almost central on a map of the United States.
Starting point is 00:04:50 You could not be farther from either the West or East Coast from where you are in Sioux City, Iowa. And- I wonder where they came from. That's yeah. And it's interesting just because it takes like you, to get it inside of a vending machine takes some level of effort.
Starting point is 00:05:08 And for somebody to just slap one down in the library and take off, and for nobody to see it. Like, you know, I don't know what I don't know what could be happening. You know, I don't know, I don't know what sort of plans could be occurring. But here's the three possibilities that are suggested by ESPN 102.3. First one, advanced troops of an alien invasion. If you don't obviously the most likely if you don't believe that that's possible. I point you to the 1950s where sometimes people just literally film crabs close to the camera to be a monster.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Next second, second suggestion from this article, genetic experiments gone wrong. Sebastian super soldier, right? The deep doing something crazy underwater, forming some sort of super soldier crab. They just wanted to say that one to praise Jack Coyote crab. They literally just wanted to mention that Jack Coyote. I don't understand. So it's all jokes. Like nobody knows where the fucking nobody knows what, what they think is probably the, the, like what they think is probably the explanation is that it's like somebody
Starting point is 00:06:22 doing it, like a person going around, crabs for some to some end. And it may continue like there may be more crabs in Sioux City. If you are listening to this and you are in Sioux City, be on the lookout, especially near the Francis building, the library for some blue crabs. You know, kind of weird. Yeah, kind of weird. Well, thank you for the crab news, Alex. Over to you, Jesse, for whatever the fuck you got.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Well, all right. It is weird. Wait, do you want to hear the quotes? We want to hear the quote from the manager, the circulation services manager at the Sioux City Public Library. I would love to. Jen Delperdang said, quote, We really have no idea the journey that this crab had to get to the library. It just must have been hungry for knowledge here. Also, the one in the computer lab that they
Starting point is 00:07:13 found, it's a Chesapeake blue, and they called it Chester. And then he died. He died to Oh, this happened actually a couple weeks ago. Like beginning of the month But he died they both died RIP rip yeah, they were meant to be there no I Don't know weird mystery. It is a weird mystery. I'm not gonna say it's not Jesse help what do you got gentlemen I come to you today with something amazing, but before I do that I want to just if you haven't seen this I must stress the two of you need to see this And Mississippi a man was an attorney was accused of bringing illegal substances into court
Starting point is 00:07:59 Hilarious did this go on Cox and Crandoor no, but I feel like if any human being ever Looks like he was bringing something illegally into a person. It's this dude. I was like Maybe we this is one of those photos where it makes me think we live in a simulation There's like this man is true. This man is too. He is the man that brings drugs I don't care where he is. He has drugs on him literally like one eye is like way more bulging than the other one. He looks like sweaty.
Starting point is 00:08:29 He's sweaty into his jacket. Like his suit jacket. Look at his shoulder. He's wearing an Egger suit. Like somebody took a fucking men in black. He looks like if Better Call Saul was a real human being. You know what I mean? Like if is really real? This would be him. It looks like it better call Saul was real, but it was actually called better call frog. If you are like ever curious if you can like make it through law school, have this picture on hand
Starting point is 00:08:58 at any time. Just remember this guy did it. This guy did it. You can do it. He literally look up the comedian, rich Fulcher. That is exactly what this guy looks like. He looks like a, like a sketch character that rich Fulcher would play. It's one. If you know that that's funny. Trust me. I don't know. Exactly how he looks. Was that your topic? Jesse looking? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. My top in Cranador. That's so funny. It needs to be. If it wasn't. My topic today is from Was this on Cops and Cranedor? That's so funny. It needs to be if it wasn't. My topic today is from the Quantum Insider.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Oh, shit. What a great publication. Or is it? So, yeah, maybe it's both. Maybe it exists and doesn't. As we all know, the Fermi Paradox, it's the thing we've talked about before. We did a whole episode on it.
Starting point is 00:09:40 The vast universe found us. You eggs, I'm not surprised, but you like eggs essentially ruined some listeners on that episode. Great. For some it was Albert Fish for others. It was the Fermi existential terror. Yeah. Yeah. Well, good news, potentially. So the Fermi paradox, as we said, suggests that there's like potentially a lot of people out there, but why don't we see them? Why don't we hear from them? What's going on with that? Well, our search only really exists in sort of like a seti scope, which is radio waves or laser signals or lights and things like we are.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Technology. Yeah, we are basic human technology stuff. And so I was super advanced races using radio waves? Right, right. Like, and if we send radio waves, would they detect it? That kind of thing. Yeah, and it would take forever. Right. So researchers are currently studying the fact that maybe we should be exploring quantum
Starting point is 00:10:38 communications because an advanced alien civilization who could span the stars probably isn't going to communicate via radio waves. It's too slow. And a great example is just the idea that if you were to think about the 1700s, if we brought a radio to the 1700s, no one could detect the radio. Like we if we broadcasted a radio tower in the 1700s, no one could detect the radio. Like we could, if we broadcasted a radio tower in the 1700s, no one could pick it up. No one would be the wise. It's your very typical explanation of giving a bunch of chimps a cell phone. Yeah. Like they wouldn't understand what to do with it. And so the way we do information
Starting point is 00:11:16 transmittal is very classic. It's the zeros and ones. It's a thing that I think all of us know. Thanks, matrix. Yeah. Um, but quantum communication is essentially you are doing zeros and ones at the exact same time and sort of like overlapping. It is both a zero and a one that kind of vibe. What about the one where they added like the Asian characters to the matrix? What was that about the animatrix? No, just like the animation is cool. Some of the some of the different that about the animatrix? No, just like the other is cool. Some of the some of the what about the albino juice? The dress I'm talking about the literal mage.
Starting point is 00:11:50 I'm not talking about Asian people. I'm talking about the literal falling matrix that comes on the screen in one of the movies like they just add like Asian writing into it. Also. Do you think? Yeah, I make that up. Stupid. And we look at it like, yeah, it's cool. Yeah, it's cool. Future.
Starting point is 00:12:09 My thoughts on the Fermi paradox are, have we considered that we are just set to friends only by accident? It's possible. It's possible. We have it's complicated written next to us and no one wants to touch that. It says it's complicated exclusively in Morse code. Right. It's you know, you got to really want it.
Starting point is 00:12:30 It's like some really old timey postmen that are just like not into proto mailmen. Yeah. Proto the true proto mailman, mini mailman. So Latham Boyle from the Higgs Center of Theoretical Physics and that guy wears that guy wears a cape. That guy wears a fight. He has a scepter. He has a scepter and a and a crown with that shoots energy and a pocket protector. Yeah. So Boyle argues that photon quibits can retain their quantum coherence over interstellar or even intergalactic distances, raising the prospect of interstellar quantum communication. Basically, we're talking quantum cryptography and teleportation and super dense coding
Starting point is 00:13:12 and all that stuff that is not classical communication. Things that are currently- Teleportation? Yeah, like literally, if I sent you a message right now, like so when we talk, we're our conversation takes milliseconds. They're talking like instantaneous communication. It's one of the reasons like quantum supercomputers are being worked on right now because when we have one that works fully, the idea is because it can do ones and zeros both, not doing
Starting point is 00:13:36 and or it can do calculations that would take a normal PC literally millions of years to get through all of in the matter of seconds. I wish you just do everything all at once all the time. Last night, maybe two nights ago, there was a guy posted on Reddit, a quantum mechanic puzzle solving thing. And he's like, here's how quantum computers work. And the first one is like, when you have a normal computer and it tries to solve a thing, it goes through the puzzle, one sort of puzzle attempt at a time and quantum It doesn't want all the different paths at once and it finds the endpoint then works backwards
Starting point is 00:14:10 And so by the time you're even like one twentieth the way done with the original computer quantum is finished and knows what's up That's why it's fucking scary and if AI in general AI is gonna exist it will come from a Quantum computing breakthrough I guarantee it. Sure. And basically they're saying like this, if we do quantum stuff, this would be like wavelength constraints, be it light or sound or whatever. That's a totally different thing that we would like. We would not be on that anymore. Telescope size, everything and type. We'd have to change. Basically would change how we see the universe and then only then we'll be able to detect anything because you can imagine if I'm a civilization that uses quantum sort of communications I'm not
Starting point is 00:14:53 blasting off stuff for us to hear I'm sending stuff to people that are part of my team yeah across the universe right so like why the hell would I care you know it's like having the internet, but living in up in like a hall or an Appalachia. You know what I mean? Like you're not, it only recently is that starting to happen for people. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:14 My thing is like, okay, quantum computing, like we, okay, shit, I forgot what I was gonna say. It's so complicated that it's like hard to like track my thoughts about this. But like, if if people start being able to like do, like, like, computations like this, like, is that going to be like the next? is that going to be like the next? Is that going to be like the next shift in like, like the let like the next internet? Because we can like find the right answer? Like, you know, you have to change the world.
Starting point is 00:15:54 It's like guess about like futures. You know what I mean? You have to like guess about like, like the price of things or like, like, is that going to stop being a thing? Like, is certainty going to be like, all the time ubiquitous? With what do you mean? What do you mean? Like, yeah, I'm trying to figure it out, too. Like, okay, so computers can instantly solve any calculation in like a perfect quantum computing world, right? Like, yeah, things that would take
Starting point is 00:16:23 millions of years to figure out like, comp computing, like, the the most likely like weather, for example, or like, how the stock market is going to go or something like that, right? Like, that shit is like the only reason that we can't like, perfectly predict it with an infinite number of factors is because there's no way to compute all that information, right? But if there was, right. Like, would probability cease to exist?
Starting point is 00:16:50 Like in our in our, like, understanding of the world? Not like we would have a fuller understanding of probability in general. Like, like a probability wouldn't cease to exist. I mean, like, you're like, for us, like for us as a quality of life, like we don't have to guess. We don't have to guess anything. We don't have to like, if like, you know exactly how long it's going to take to get from one place to the next, for example, like on the on the freeway. If if quantum computing exists, you could just calculate
Starting point is 00:17:17 exactly how long it's going to take. I don't know, because I don't know if it quantum computing can then can take into consideration traffic, things that happen sporadically and shit like that. That stuff's still going to happen. Quantum computer isn't going to stop that from happening in real time. I'm saying like, okay, like if we took out our infrastructure and replaced all the computers with quantum computers, which I'm sure we will at some point in our future, it will probably take, you know, a decade or so for that to happen once it happens in any meaningful way. But I'm just trying to imagine the way... The access to just static information is such a game changer for humans
Starting point is 00:17:52 and how we've done anything. When people could write a book and reproduce the book and share information. We'll see things like scientists will be able to run a simulation on the effects of global warming over the course of Instantaneously to see every single possible potential scenario, you know across a wide spectrum that won't have to use You know multiple computers over like long times and have to input their own, you know range and like that quantum computing We'll be able to do all of that instantaneously So I think it will it won't remove probability, but it'll it'll open the curtains and show probability bear bear as it is
Starting point is 00:18:27 Yeah, I feel like it's it's quantum computing is dr. Strange Looking at 14 million ways to end the Avengers series, but it we need to be the Tony Stark Yeah, right like it can give us possibilities It can say this is a thing but and unless we do something or act on what it says, it's just a computer program telling us like, here's some shit guys. Yeah. Just think about like the idea of word getting out. For example, just the notion of like information traveling. Yeah. Right. Like the way that the entire way that every human's life went from day to day changed immediately the moment that like, things that happened in one place could immediately or, you know, for them, for any sort of human notice, like immediate
Starting point is 00:19:19 information exchange across the globe, completely changed the way we even conceived of our place on the earth. So I'm just interested in how the access to like folds of reality that we could barely comprehend before. We don't even have to think about them. They just like answers can be provided to us. I don't know. It will. It's going to change the way we do. Humanity does things in ways we can't really understand yet.
Starting point is 00:19:46 I really don't think we can truly understand it. And you say that just made me, I'm curious how close our first quantum computer is. Here's actually got an answer for you. The world's first fault tolerant quantum computer is supposed to launch this year, end of 2024. The world's first commercial fault tolerant quantum computer with logical qubits may be running before the year, end of 2024. The world's first commercial fault-tolerant quantum computer with logical qubits may be running before the year's
Starting point is 00:20:08 end. Logical qubits, physical quantum bits, or qubits connected through quantum entanglement reduce errors in quantum computers by storing the same data in different places. This diversifies the points of failure when running calculations. The new machine, which will have 256 physical and 10
Starting point is 00:20:24 logical qubits, will launch in late 2024 running calculations. The new machine, which will have 256 physical and 10 logical qubits, will launch in late 2024 from representatives of Q era, the startup that's been building it. The announcement is the blah. So it'll be the first fault tolerant one, which means it's not fully running and they they will have it fully running ideally as a 10,000 qubit machine by 2026 is the only two years. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Yeah. And this was written. This article is from space.com from February of this year. So this was earlier this year. I wonder how we'll see what it actually does. You know, I mean, like, yeah, just like the idea of quantum computing can do a lot, but it's still just a computer. You know what I mean? Like, it's not going to open a portal to zombie land and then Bigfoot comes out like it's literally just the computer. You know what I mean? Like it's not gonna open a portal to zombie land and then Bigfoot comes out. Like it's literally just...
Starting point is 00:21:08 That's the other... It's just like smart. That's the other thing though. Okay, like you know how like the family paradox is like everybody's out there, like why aren't we hearing from them or whatever? Sure. Like the other principle is like, or something is like about technology in my mind, like, we perceive the universe, the entropy of the universe, we perceive it in like a linear fashion, like, you know, with eyes and sight, we like process
Starting point is 00:21:35 information from light, and waves, like air waves that like make sound in our ear instruments and all these things. And that like, you know, affects the way that we have like complex thought and all these things. So like thinking about that, and then thinking about the fact that science already, I forget who it was who described it this way, like probably like Carl Sagan or something,
Starting point is 00:21:57 was like saying like, science, the real principles, we're like scratching at the fucking like mud in which those pillars of like certainty stand. We can barely conceive of the forces that hold the universe together and are like poor attempt at interpreting it for our measly little brains is like science. Right. Sure. And so for me, like, it is cool that our measly little brains
Starting point is 00:22:24 can even attempt to wrap our mind, like figure this shit out. But the point is that it's extremely rudimentary and completely rooted in our like own ability to perceive and think. And so like other life forms that are complex, like what are the odds that like our sciences are even compatible, much less our technology?
Starting point is 00:22:45 Like, I mean, I would imagine not right. I would imagine the computer, a quantum computer would tell us things that we have not even assumed and then that would take us down a path that would be closer to what I imagine is real in the universe. But I don't think it would like you're, you're absolutely right. Like an alien, if it showed up and up and was and we're like, hey, tell us about like gravity and black holes and shit. They'd be like, you mean, Glork, Klops, please.
Starting point is 00:23:13 They're like, that's not how we know. It's like a rival. You know what I mean? Where they like mix up stuff based on like a misunderstanding of. Like reality itself. Yeah, I don't know. And to kind of go further into that too, like to give you an idea of where we are in terms of like how reliable quantum computer is.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Right now, qubits are like easily disturbed and they're notoriously error prone. Roughly one in 1000 of them fail. And to compare that to common computers, it's about one in one billion billion would fail in a conventional computer. Like it's like magic versus like sticks and rocks basically. Which is what this this error prone quantum computer is and why it's storing the same information in different places to try and reduce the amount of error is.
Starting point is 00:24:02 And it led me down the whole of like, well, Google's quantum and AI lab has demonstrated a 2.9 percent error rate. Qera's error rate is 0.5 percent with 48 logical qubits. But the world leader in error, less error prone is the University of Oxford, which has a 0.01 percent error rate. But it's only between two qubit gates, whatever the fuck that means. So we're really like just now. Simpler computer, but.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Yeah, we're like literally like now within this time frame. These past couple of years, opening the door to actually finding usable quantum computers, we're just opening that up, I think. It's hard to perceive the way these things fucking change the shapes of our brains, man I hate to I hate to beat this drum But I think again of that quote from like Herodotus or whatever. I'm sure I'm misquoting it so bad, but it's like like older philosophers in the town square like yelling at people who are learning how to read because it's destroying their ability to like Be humans and like remember things. Yeah, would you put it down, you know, they're yeah, yeah,
Starting point is 00:25:05 like imagine watching us lose the ability to remember that much. You think about how people made statues back then and how people did all this math and shit that like nobody could fucking do. And it's because the amount of noise that existed back then versus now information wise, just floating around
Starting point is 00:25:30 for you to think about solo. I would also argue that their stories and their memories are not exactly prone to facts, which is why we would write them down. How many of their stories and tales changed over time just because it's word of mouth and nobody was writing anything down? Sure, like on an empirical level, of course,
Starting point is 00:25:49 but I'm just talking about like the way our brain like uses information. Oh, it just changed, yeah. Like the fact that you can go look at it again. Well, we are an adaptable ape though, right? Like, yeah. Sure, but I mean the fact that you can go look at info again. Just think about how psychedelic that is that you could have a thought and then look at the exact same thought 20 years later. Like, I know we just think of it as writing now, but before we could conceive of what writing was, the fact that somebody thought of that is insane.
Starting point is 00:26:17 You know what I mean? And it changed everything. I know what you're saying. Yes, it's crazy. It's just crazy. Jesse looks like he's like brewing a retort. No, it's just, I imagine it was all because of ego. You know, it was like,
Starting point is 00:26:33 I want everyone to know that King Jesse was here. Yeah. Write it down. Like, it guarantees that. It's not been that long though either. Like how long has there been written language? 10,000 years max Yeah, not long
Starting point is 00:26:48 We were blip on the timeline. I mean, it's there's there's you know, even though it is We're just better at it. It's still like when you see a chimpanzee use a stick to like get ants You're like that is giving a couple hundred thousand years that dude could be like I got it figured out guys computer down on a horse for some reason yeah yeah I don't know why they domesticated horses the same way just doesn't make sense but you know whatever we'll end with some more space news then I'm sure you boys saw this but it's just exciting stuff within our own solar system there is an ocean's worth of water that might be within Mars itself right now.
Starting point is 00:27:27 This is two days ago, very, very fresh. There's enough water to cover the surface of Mars, enough water to cover the surface of Mars has been discovered within the crust of the red planet by NASA's InSight mission. The ocean is buried between one and two kilometers underground. InSight, which was a stationary lander during operation,
Starting point is 00:27:46 touched down in the Elysium Planitia region on Mars in November of 2018. It maintained its mission for four years and armed with the first seismometer to be taken to the red planet, it detected 1,319 Marsquakes. Now geophysicists Vashon Wright and Mathias Morsefeld of the scripts institution of oceanography at the University of California San Diego and professor of planetary science Michael manga of the United great fucking name
Starting point is 00:28:14 I call the University of California. Yeah, it's a great anime cult persona, right? Yeah That's what's gonna be University of California in Berkeley have used that seismometer data to discover water on the planet. They combined the varying speeds of recorded Mars quakes documented as the quakes reverberated through the red planet's interior to a mathematical model describing the physics of different types of rocks in Mars crust and mantle. It's exactly the same type of model that we use on Earth to identify underground aquifers and oil fields.
Starting point is 00:28:44 It's the same tech. The results were startling as the data showed that many of the seismic waves had passed through rock saturated with liquid water. Understanding the Martian water cycle is critical for understanding the evolution of the climate, surface and interior, says Wright in a press statement. A useful starting point is to identify where water is and how much is there. And they're saying once upon a time, Mars will hide a lot of liquid water on its surface with oceans, lakes and rivers,
Starting point is 00:29:09 but the water disappeared about 3 billion years ago. And today Mars Rover explored, rovers explored dried up lake beds and empty river channels. While some of the Mars water is locked up as ice in the polar caps and as permafrost down in the world's mid latitudes, it had been assumed that the rest of Mars water had escaped into space. Water vapor in the atmosphere was believed to have been broken apart by solar ultraviolet radiation and Mars low gravity was thought to enable to hang on to hydrogen
Starting point is 00:29:34 parts of that vapor, which would have been been carried away into space by solar wind without a global magnetic field to shield against basically everything about math. They just flew off into space slowly. You know, it's kind of like we've that is have you ever seen Neil deGrasse Tyson explain the ocean? I love what's actually going on about the tides and we're like,
Starting point is 00:29:57 rotate. Yeah, basically like Earth is in the middle. If you imagine there's like the Earth in the middle and then the water is just layered on top and one direction is being pulled by the sun and one direction is being pulled by the moon and just like keeps me and it's a very simplified version of it. I'm sure there's like some indiscrepancies here that but like basically the water is just sitting there and it's like one bad day and it's all sucked away. Yeah. My thing is what about Martians being a thing and the reason that they are seeing UFOs or UAPs now that are like underwater things are because the Martian civilization is all underwater.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Excuse me. He's trying to warn you. He's like, don't spill state secrets. Spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill, spill sharks all go, which is exactly which is exactly where like things like Atlantis are in like Marvel comics. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Here. The issue with this water though is that it's really goddamn deep. They suggest that it's somewhere between 11.5 and 20 kilometers, which is 7.1 to 12.4 miles for us Americans. And there's no water at all in the crust above a depth of five kilometers three point one miles So despite being the best evidence yet it is impractical for astronauts to eat. We can't get to it It's so fucking deep into the fucking or the planet is just not able to get to it at all To illustrate they say to why it's so unreachable
Starting point is 00:31:40 Is they consider that the deepest hole ever dug on Earth is the Cola super deep bore hole in Russia. Right. Engineers in the Soviet Union spent 20 years digging the hole in an effort to reach the Earth's mantle, but drilling had to be aborted at about 7.6 miles down because the temperature grew too great, which was about 356 degrees Fahrenheit, 180 degrees Celsius. It was just too hot for the drill bit. It seems unlikely that equivalent drilling on Mars
Starting point is 00:32:06 could be accomplished any anytime soon. Like it took us 20 years to get seven miles down on Earth. And this is on Mars, 11 miles down. Right. And not going to happen. But it's there. Oh, then you'll probably just do some dumb bullshit. We like below Mars in half because we're fucking stupid as shit. You want to get tripped out?
Starting point is 00:32:23 You boys want to get real tripped out? This is for everyone out there as well. Really always. I'm going to give you to the link. Go to 36, 38 seconds. And before you do that, let me read this last quote from the scientists. Sure.
Starting point is 00:32:36 It says, quote, establishing that there is a big reservoir of liquid water provides some window into what the climate was like or could be like. And water is necessary for life as we know it. I don't see why the underground reservoir is not a habitable environment. It's certainly true on earth. Deep, deep minds host life. The bottom of the ocean hosts life. We haven't found any evidence for life on Mars,
Starting point is 00:32:57 but at least we have identified a place that should in principle be able to sustain life. So if we go here, this is an AP video on YouTube. It's called Mars may have enough water under its surface to form a global ocean, study suggests. And there's sound from Mars and it's recording vibrations of, I assume, their search. Holy shit, it's like fucking bubbling
Starting point is 00:33:26 And you can like it is they pitch it up so we can hear it But they're like most that your normal ears won't hear this wear headphones listen to it And it literally is just like it starts coming in him He's here Bubbling dude, that's here. Yeah, it's like bubbling. Dude, that's fucking pretty neat. Bro, I mean, like again, more and more evidence that life, I mean, even as microbial life in the ocean deep down, it will never learn. It's just another planet within our own solar system that is not even perfect for life,
Starting point is 00:33:57 but may have life. That's just more evidence that life is just like weirdly maybe just like, I mean, wait till we start exploring Titan dude that's gonna be a Trip I'm alive for that. Oh, I hope I'm alive for that. I'd be fucking awesome computers exist. You'll be alive for it Okay, let's see. I hope so damn That's it for the mini so today gentlemen Thank you all so much for supporting us here patreon.com slash julian iPod and all of you listeners listening for free at whatever time You end up getting this we appreciate you we love you
Starting point is 00:34:26 Good bye
