This Can't Be Good...

Recently, a team of Chinese geologists announced that Earth's core has "stopped spinning." This led to a flood of headlines predicting doom and gloom galore. But is it as dangerous as the movie The Core suggests? Let's look at it.

My toddler is an ultrasound geologist. On the floor, screaming into the core.

Letting new people skip ahead + being upfront about the whole thing so we can stop being alarmed and just be curious = 10/10 respect

[fadiabujiries]

I love how human this channel is, i genuinely got excited when i saw a new background.

[brushylake]

So the TLDR is: We don't know exactly what's occurring, we don't know why it's occurring, and we don't know what effects are going to result from whatever exactly is occurring.

Don’t know why I’m so attached to that Kallax shelf, but as soon as I saw the new set, my eyes darted around looking for it like “WHERE IS IT?!”
Glad it’s still a part of the backdrop, I think it’s such a good way to host neat stuff behind to flavour stuff up.

[JacubWhite]

As somebody who's been watching since early 2019, I like the new background. It feels like a nice refresher for the channel, while still feeling familiar so it doesn't seem like some kind of forced modernization like with all the Wendy's restaurants.

[chrisconway]

1:59 this is the best point ever. I hate when creators do something then second guess it. We are here for the content not the back ground. Good for you Joe.

[glamdestruction]

Really happy to see all the newness going on with your life. I've been following the channel for a few years now, and it's awesome to see you grow and expand.
Also, nice set, and great alliteration at the beginning. 😂 You always make me chuckle.

Hi Joe, How about a video on "lasers"? What's the current state of the technology, latest applications, power levels, weaponization, scientific applications, communication etc? I just thought that would be a cool topic since the laser has been famous for so long now and we don't really see much of it in our daily lives as once predicted. Love your channel and content. Definitely one of the best ever on Youtube. Thanks for all you and your team contribute.

Congrats man! I don't watch many YouTube Channels. Yours is the only one i HIGHLY look forward to man! Your content is awesome, and you're one of the few GREAT YouTube presenters man! Thanks for all the quality videos!

When the movie The Core came out, I watched it with some geology faculty and PhD students. I thought they would snicker, but they loved it.

[theheresiarch]

I really like the new set, Joe! I can tell you put plenty of time into it!

[PandorasCrate]

As a typewriter technician and hobbyist, I am glad the Quiet De Luxe made it to the new set! (Or is it an Arrow?) Either way, loving the new digs!

[peterkallend]

Welcome back, Joe. I like the new background, but will always have a special place in my curious heart for the old one. The random, seemingly unrelated objects on your shelves were a nice analog for the varied content on your channel. On to bigger, but not necessarily better (you already set the bar pretty high for interesting content) things. I'm looking forward to what this next year of Answers has to offer.

[scottfreeland]

*scoffs* we can't do anything fun anymore.

Joe, your humor never goes unappreciated. Thank you for it.

[davidjennings]

Video was up about an hour ago and you've got 2.5k likes already - very well deserved, come a long way in the last 7 years.

Love the new room too.

[tessiepinkman]

Your studio looks FANTASTIC. I'm so happy for you! I will stay, as always. All the new stuff sounds exciting! I'm so happy to see you look so happy. Excitement is contagious, and you are infecting me! Okay, sorry, that sounded way better in my head, where I think in Swedish and that sentence did *not* translate as well as I thought. But I'll just roll with it! Whoa! Looking forward to whatever you have in store for us.

[Moscatinka]

Watching "The Core" as research is some serious dedication. You have earned my Like, Sir!

[kevchev]

Wow. The core is now in sync, ocean levels will rise 18 feet, the storm on Jupiter will dissipate, and blue eyes in humans will disappear -- all within a 100-year window. Wow. Holy cow. Everything comes together now because we are the most important, the most understanding, and the most appreciative culture this world has ever seen. Seriously, this must be the reason. We are everything.

[notyourdadskeyboards]

Holy production value, Batman!
Kidding aside, as an OG viewer, every update just makes this channel better and better over the years. Love ya, Joe!
