  1. it’s always wild seeing something in that awkward teenage phase of scientific discovery – we know ABOUT them, we know that they are there, but we have yet to figure out much more than that

  2. Is there a Sci Show episode about this? I’d to watch about what little we do know about them. Also, what’s this that Kitchengun said about the plates not melting!?

  3. Those are the protein structures that will eventually grow into the space dragon that emerges from our planet.

    1. ​@Eric Tate Yep. And there are space spiders. Thanks Dr. Who for ruining my sleep at night. XD

    1. ​@Christer Jakobsen my question is: when it wasnt a hellscape of violence and depravity?

    2. Yakjuk/gog and makjuk/magog or something, the old abrahamic lore about 2 monsters that were sealed deep underground, and both keep digging to get out. But everyday, the path they dig repair itself so they keep digging on the same place for centuries. Should make a good movie.

  4. Are you trying to wake up ancient monsters, Hank? Cause this is how you wake up ancient monsters.

    1. @Richard Freeman It cause he’s posed as a scientist for so long, he got the term “the science guy” when he was doing stand up comedy – he does have a bachelors in mechanical engineering, but that only qualifies him to do stress tests on buildings and bridges as a junior assistant

    2. @Eric Heide You’ve somehow both misunderstood his degree qualifications, and life education knowledge. He’s accumulated enough knowledge just from knowing and studying an array of subjects that would rival most people in scientific professions; there’s a reason why they endorse him. He may not have a pure science degree, but he knows who to ask, and those experts acknowledge and fact check what he has said in the past to be correct. In life, you find that such experience is practically that of a degree.
      Additionally, for stress testing “buildings and bridges”, the term you’re looking for is CIVIL engineering 😉

  5. Wow for the first time in a while I actually learned something from YouTube shorts. I had no idea those mantle blobs existed. I always thought it was like the first picture you showed that’s in all the science textbooks. Interesting stuff

    1. you learned nothing. you believed what was presented to you. now maybe you have learned something.

    2. ​@Hidden Aspects The video’s completely true, nothing of odd. The comments all being supportive and backing his claims should serve as enough evidence for “what was presented”. Although, indeed, sometimes—*most* of the times, people probably should back check.

    3. ​@Hidden Aspects they didn’t learn, instead believed what was presented to them, and then they maybe learned something depending on whether or not they believed what you presented to them. Some interesting stuff there, no really. 😆😆

  6. This makes me remember that chances of the center of the Earth being Unicron are low but never zero.

  7. Now I’m imagining Transformers: Prime’s thing of Unicron being the core of the Earth is what our core really is. The body of a giant evil robot

  8. It definitely seems like they’re formations caused by the core being cooled and garden as it leaks out you the surface

  9. I’m a geological engineer. The fact I learned in school that blew my mind the most is the fact that, just like the ocean has tides, there are earth tides, too! Throughout the day, the elevation of the ground you’re standing on changes slightly. The slight changes in elevation actually slightly change the force of gravity. It’s not a big deal for most people, but if you’re doing geophysical gravity tests to find orebodies, you’re looking for very slight changes in the force of gravity and need to correct the data for earth tides (and some other stuff too that blew my mind significantly less). I think it blew my mind so much because, while it made sense to me scientifically, I just couldn’t believe that I didn’t learn about earth tides before that point.
