8.8 magnitude earthquake strikes in the Pacific Ocean, causing a tsunami that could reach as far south as South America. Tsunami warnings have been lifted in most of the United States and Canada, but some areas are still having tsunami warnings in effect. A volcano in Russia erupts, and some speculate it could be linked to an asteroid impact on the moon in 2032.
00:04:38.500And you can see the volcanic eruption.
00:04:41.080Very, very obviously tied to this earthquake.
00:04:43.600They say scientists described the descent of burning hot lava down the slopes of one of the world's highest active volcanoes.
00:04:51.480Hours after a huge 8.8 earthquake rocked the region.
00:04:54.780Kliuchevskoy, which has erupted several times over recent years, is located approximately 280 miles north of the Petropavlovsk-Komachki, the regional capital.
00:05:09.140The Russian Academy of Sciences, United Geophysical Service, confirmed the eruption, stating on Telegram,
00:05:13.680a descent of burning hot lava is observed on the western slope.
00:12:23.460They say, it's a theory not widely accepted.
00:12:26.740That proposed a potential magnitude 10 megathrust earthquake in Japan, potentially causing a massive tsunami and disrupting global trade.
00:12:36.880This theory is based on work of earthquake researcher Brent, how do you say, Dimitrik, who believes that the locking of tectonic plates in the region is building up to a catastrophic release of energy.
00:12:47.680A magnitude 10 earthquake is exceptionally rare and would be significantly more powerful than even very large earthquakes.
00:12:57.140Megathrust earthquakes occur at subduction zones where one tectonic plate slides beneath another and can cause massive displacement of the ocean floor, leading to tsunamis.
00:13:07.580Dimitrik suggests that specific precursors such as large foreshocks, magnitude 8.7 and 9.0, usually market liquidity drains and a sharp rise in the T10Y3M yield curve could indicate an imminent event.
00:13:25.160The theory proposes that such an event could cause a massive tsunami, disrupt global trade and have far reaching consequences.
00:14:48.940I think the reality is just for these predictions.
00:14:52.840A million monkeys on typewriters will make a prediction, right?
00:14:56.580Shout out to Superman, which was just awful when they had the monkeys typing on typewriters.
00:15:02.080And then this, you know, we'll highlight this briefly before we get to the next article about, you know, a giant meteor coming and slamming into the moon.
00:15:10.720Weather Service assures North Dakotans there is no threat of tsunami in landlocked state.
00:15:18.860They said National Weather Service, Grand Forks.
00:15:23.100There is no threat for tsunami impacts in North Dakota.
00:15:27.080If you're in a coastal area under threat, however, check tsunami.gov for up to date information and with local officials for any evacuation orders.
00:15:35.720The fact that this is needed to be said is wild.
00:15:37.800Reactive Fox News national correspondent Bill Malugan.
00:15:41.060While meteorologist Chris Martz questioned North Dakota is between 750 and 3,506 feet above sea level.
00:15:48.020And its westernmost point is about 950 miles from the Pacific Ocean.
00:15:51.920Are people there seriously that dumb that they think a tsunami could impact them?
00:15:58.360The Honolulu Department of Emergency Management advised Hawaiians to get to buildings at least 10 stories tall on Tuesday after warning that a tsunami was expected to hit around 717 local time.
00:16:09.460Tsunami advisories were also issued along the West Coast from Port Angeles in Washington state to San Diego, along with the U.S. Pacific territories of Guam and American Samoa.
00:18:41.560It's the answer to Fermi's paradox I call the chicken coop hypothesis.
00:18:45.360To be fair, they call it the great zoo, but I don't care for that very much.
00:18:49.180The great zoo hypothesis is that, for those that are familiar with Fermi's paradox, if the universe is so big and life is possible, why have we not encountered it?
00:18:58.280Sooner or later, something would be producing signs of life, right?
00:19:12.840And then there's also the great zoo hypothesis, the galactic zoo hypothesis, that Earth is basically just cordoned off by alien species, and they just look at us like a zoo.
00:19:23.200And they watch us do things, and it's funny to them, like we do with other animals.
00:19:33.960Again, if aliens found Earth and found a bunch of humans milling about doing dumb stuff, they could be like, hey, if we breed these things, they'll get stuff for us.
00:19:56.420I don't think that's actually reality, but, you know, who knows, right?
00:20:00.140Now we got this story from Fox Weather.
00:20:01.880Here, potential asteroid impact on the moon in 2032 could trigger massive meteor shower on Earth.
00:20:08.600They say, what happens if an asteroid the size of a 15-story building crashes into the moon in 2032?
00:20:14.660While the chances of the newly discovered asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting the moon in seven years are slim, there is currently a 96% chance it won't happen.
00:20:25.040An impact of this size would not come without consequences for the moon, astronauts in space orbiting the Earth.
00:20:31.880A new study submitted for review by scientists with the University of Western Ontario and Athabasca University in Canada took observations from the James Webb Space Telescope of asteroid 2024 YR4
00:20:43.800and used simulations to show how much lunar debris would be ejected out into space, sending pieces of the moon toward Earth.
00:20:53.020After its initial discovery late last year, the asteroid appeared to have a small chance of impacting Earth, warranting international attention.
00:20:59.760And jumping to the highest asteroid threat ever given on the Torino impact hazard scale.
00:21:06.140By February, more ground-based observations of the asteroid helped clear the threat to Earth, but the moon still faces a possible impact.
00:21:13.180So the moon is going to shield us? Is that what happens?
00:21:15.500Earlier this year, NASA James Webb Space Telescope helped scientists determine that the asteroid is between 175 and 220 feet in diameter.
00:21:24.040If it crashes into the moon, it would create a crater more than half a mile in diameter, becoming the largest impact in about 5,000 years, according to the study.
00:21:32.700Current calculations show if it happens, an impact would occur on the southern hemisphere.
00:21:36.960The researchers said the impact would threaten satellites in low Earth orbit for days or up to a few months and send a fraction of the ejecta towards Earth.
00:21:48.900Any lunar debris that makes it within Earth's atmosphere could create a meteor shower over the planet.
00:21:53.940The resulting meteor shower could last a few days and be spectacular.
00:21:57.520The number of visible meteor is somewhat muted by the low entry speed of the ejecta.
00:22:01.300With more than 10,000 active satellites in low Earth orbit and more than 25,000 pieces of space junk, researchers believe an asteroid strike to the moon could spell trouble for satellite operators.
00:22:12.780You guys want to know something crazy?
00:22:15.320Did you know that there are satellites in orbit that are defunct?
00:22:21.480They're still operating, but the companies that put them up there don't exist.
00:22:25.460So hackers have been breaking into the satellites and commandeering them because they're still in orbit.
00:22:31.300Doing whatever with no claim from the Earth.
00:22:50.500And then you can use them for whatever.
00:22:54.460They say given the very large total exposed area for satellites in 2032,
00:22:57.680it becomes possible that hundreds of thousands of impacts for the millimeter-sized debris ejected by a lunar impact in 2024 will be experienced across the entire satellite fleet.
00:23:07.300Such impacts may damage satellites but are small enough to generally not end active missions or cause breakups.
00:23:13.420The researchers say material from the moon could be a serious hazard to moon-orbiting spacecraft such as NASA's Lunar Gateway,
00:23:19.600a planned orbiting station for astronauts, and even greater danger to any lunar surface operations.
00:23:27.460It has so far moved behind the sun, limiting any new observations until 2028.
00:23:32.540Scientists say those new observations in a few years will help improve lunar impact predictions.
00:23:37.820You know what I'm curious about for sci-fi movies?
00:23:43.200We've made the movie, like, we have the movie Deep Impact.
00:27:59.500You got lower, lower, whacker, whatever they call it.
00:28:01.700It's kind of crazy to see when you're driving in Chicago and you can see the door to a building is actually like 40 feet in the air.
00:28:08.240The theory states that coincide that after this great flood, most of humanity is killed every 6,000 years and the survivors then carry on to start rebuilding.
