this is spacetime series 28 episode 13


00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:06.030
for broadcast on the 29th of January


00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:09.350
2025 coming up on space Time Mystery


00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:11.350
Mounds revealing the history of water on


00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:13.990
the red planet Mars could the Earth's


00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.269
moon really be a chunk of the earth


00:00:16.279 --> 00:00:19.310
ejected into space and establishing a


00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:21.670
permanent presence on the lunar surface


00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:24.189
how hard could it be all that and more


00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:26.589
coming up on


00:00:26.599 --> 00:00:30.029
SpaceTime welcome to SpaceTime with st


00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:39.160
good


00:00:39.170 --> 00:00:45.670
[Music]


00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:48.069
Gary a new study has shown that


00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:49.830
thousands of mounds and hills on the


00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:51.750
baron Marsh and Northern Plains are full


00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:53.590
of clay minerals providing clear


00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.470
evidence that these rocks were once


00:00:55.480 --> 00:00:58.150
soaked with water the findings reported


00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:00.069
in the journal Nature geoscience


00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:01.709
supports the hypothesis that the


00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:04.229
expansive red planet Northern lowlands


00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.550
was once the floor of a vast Martian


00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.149
ocean one of the stud's authors Joe


00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:11.350
mcneel from the open University says


00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:13.310
these Mounds are all that's left of a


00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:15.390
landscape roughly the size of the UK


00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.429
that's been almost entirely eroded away


00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:19.749
McNeil and colleagues used


00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:21.870
highresolution images and compositional


00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:24.149
data captured by orbiters around Mars to


00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:26.190
better understand the geology of these


00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:28.390
Mounds they found that the Mounds which


00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:30.469
are up to half a kilometer High Are All


00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:32.630
That Remains of an ancient Highlands


00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.630
region which retreated by hundreds of


00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:36.870
kilometers after erosion wore away the


00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:39.550
terrain billions of years ago these


00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:41.749
actions played a key role in shaping the


00:01:41.759 --> 00:01:43.670
Martian landscape which divides the


00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.630
planet's low-lying Northern Hemisphere


00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.270
from its much higher southern hemisphere


00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:49.749
the Mounds are made up of layered


00:01:49.759 --> 00:01:51.870
deposits containing clay minerals formed


00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:53.749
through water interacting with rock over


00:01:53.759 --> 00:01:56.510
millions maybe billions of years these


00:01:56.520 --> 00:01:58.910
clay layers are sandwiched between older


00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:00.789
non-clay layers below and younger


00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.230
nonclay layers above marking distinct


00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:05.830
geological events in Martian history


00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:07.550
McNeil says the mounts are incredibly


00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.150
exciting because they preserve a


00:02:09.160 --> 00:02:11.029
complete history of water in this region


00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:12.910
with inaccessible continuous Rocky


00:02:12.920 --> 00:02:15.110
outcrops and that makes them a prime


00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.070
location for future missions aimed at


00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:19.030
uncovering whether Mars ever had an


00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:20.710
ocean and whether life could have


00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:23.350
existed there remember here on Earth


00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.470
wherever we find water we find life the


00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:28.430
study also reveals that these Mounds are


00:02:28.440 --> 00:02:30.070
geologically linked to the nearby by


00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.350
Plains of Aria Plum which the European


00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.630
Space Agency Rosland Franklin R is set


00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:37.190
to explore in 2028 looking for science


00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:40.030
of past and present Life by piecing


00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:41.910
together the red planet's ancient past


00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:43.990
scientists are uncovering the story of a


00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:45.670
planet that may once have been capable


00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:48.190
of supporting life in fact many


00:02:48.200 --> 00:02:50.149
scientists see Mars as a model for what


00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:52.430
the early Earth might have looked like


00:02:52.440 --> 00:02:54.670
and the lack of plate tectonics on Mars


00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:56.990
means that much of attention geology is


00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.149
still in place so by studying Mars we


00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.270
learn more about our own home planet as


00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:05.910
well this is spacetime still to come


00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:07.630
could the moon have been created by an


00:03:07.640 --> 00:03:09.670
ejected chunk of the earth and


00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:11.750
establishing a permanent man base on the


00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:14.190
moon how hard could it really be all


00:03:14.200 --> 00:03:19.260
that and more still to come on SpaceTime


00:03:19.270 --> 00:03:32.670
[Music]


00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:34.710
a new study claims that the moon was


00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:37.110
created out of the Earth's mantle the


00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:38.750
findings reported in the journal the


00:03:38.760 --> 00:03:40.030
proceedings of the National Academy of


00:03:40.040 --> 00:03:42.030
Sciences also supports the idea that


00:03:42.040 --> 00:03:43.630
water could have reached the Earth early


00:03:43.640 --> 00:03:45.390
in its development and may not have been


00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:48.550
added later by asteroid or Comet impacts


00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.589
evidence from Rock samples brought back


00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:52.949
by the American Apollo man moon missions


00:03:52.959 --> 00:03:55.350
and studies of early Earth geology both


00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.589
suggest the best hypothesis to explain


00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:59.830
the birth of Earth's moon 4.5 billion


00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.229
years ago was a giant impact now this


00:04:03.239 --> 00:04:05.670
Theory suggests that a mars-sized planet


00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.309
named Thea possibly even an earth Trojan


00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.509
slammed into the early Proto Earth about


00:04:10.519 --> 00:04:12.630
62 million years after the birth of the


00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:15.990
solar system 4.6 billion years ago the


00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:17.550
timing is based on measurements of


00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.670
tungsten Isotopes in lunar Metals this


00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.030
Cosmic Collision melted both bodies


00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.430
turning the lot into a giant magma ocean


00:04:25.440 --> 00:04:28.430
floating in space Thea's dense iron and


00:04:28.440 --> 00:04:30.510
nickel core coal with without of the


00:04:30.520 --> 00:04:33.230
earth now at the same time vaporized


00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:34.909
debris from the's lighter silicate


00:04:34.919 --> 00:04:36.629
mantle and crust together with material


00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:38.909
from the Earth was ejected into space


00:04:38.919 --> 00:04:40.870
eventually orbiting the Earth as a ring


00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:43.029
before slowly coalescing into the moon


00:04:43.039 --> 00:04:45.830
we see today being composed mostly of


00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:47.990
silicates neatly explains why the moon's


00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.110
not as dense as the Earth but now


00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:52.510
researchers have discovered another


00:04:52.520 --> 00:04:54.230
piece of the puzzle of formation of the


00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:56.230
Moon and also how water reached the


00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.830
Earth the new measurements indicate that


00:04:58.840 --> 00:05:00.710
the moon formed from Material ejected


00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:02.390
from the Earth's mantle with little


00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:04.830
contribution from Thea the authors


00:05:04.840 --> 00:05:07.350
analyzed oxygen Isotopes from 14 samples


00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.510
from the Moon and carried out 191


00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:11.990
measurements on minerals from Earth they


00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.110
used an improved version of laser flu


00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:16.430
oration a method in which Oxygen's


00:05:16.440 --> 00:05:18.909
released from Rock using a laser the new


00:05:18.919 --> 00:05:20.990
measurements show a very high similarity


00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:22.550
between samples taken from both the


00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.629
Earth and the moon of an isotope called


00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.990
oxygen 17 now the isotopic similarity


00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:29.830
between the Earth and Moon is along


00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:31.830
standing problem in cosmochemistry for


00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:34.189
which the term isotope crisis has been


00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.430
coined one of the study's authors


00:05:36.440 --> 00:05:39.110
Andreas pack from Gran University says


00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.350
one explanation is that Theo lost its


00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.550
Rocky mantle in earlier collisions and


00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:45.510
then slammed into the Earth more like a


00:05:45.520 --> 00:05:48.230
giant metallic Cannonball now if this


00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.029
were the case Thea would be part of the


00:05:50.039 --> 00:05:52.390
Earth's iron core today and the moon


00:05:52.400 --> 00:05:54.230
would have formed from ejected material


00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.029
from the Proto Earth's mantle Pac says


00:05:57.039 --> 00:05:58.670
this would explain the similarity in the


00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:00.990
composition of the Earth and the moon


00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:03.189
and the data obtained also provided an


00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.870
Insight in the history of water on Earth


00:06:05.880 --> 00:06:07.510
the widespread assumption is that it


00:06:07.520 --> 00:06:09.070
only arrived on Earth after the


00:06:09.080 --> 00:06:10.670
formation of the Moon most likely


00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:12.510
through a series of asteroid and Comet


00:06:12.520 --> 00:06:15.230
impacts known as the late veneer event


00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:16.430
as the Earth was hit much more


00:06:16.440 --> 00:06:18.469
frequently by these impacts in the moon


00:06:18.479 --> 00:06:19.790
there should also be a measurable


00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:21.830
difference between the oxygen Isotopes


00:06:21.840 --> 00:06:23.710
depending on the origins of the material


00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.469
that impacted however since the new data


00:06:26.479 --> 00:06:28.309
shows that this isn't the case many


00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:29.990
types of meteorites can have be ruled


00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.629
out as a possible cause for the late


00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:34.230
veneer instead the data can be explained


00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.189
by a class of meteorites called inati


00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:38.350
condres which are isotopically similar


00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.670
to the Earth and contain enough water to


00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:42.749
be solely responsible for the Earth's


00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.430
water formation this is spacetime still


00:06:46.440 --> 00:06:48.670
to come establishing a permanent


00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:50.909
presence on the moon how hard could it


00:06:50.919 --> 00:06:53.309
be and later in the science report a new


00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:55.070
study warns that Coral bleaching on the


00:06:55.080 --> 00:06:56.909
Great Barrier Reef has now reached


00:06:56.919 --> 00:06:59.029
catastrophic levels all that and more


00:06:59.039 --> 00:07:15.230
still to come come on


00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.270
SpaceTime nessa's emis program is aimed


00:07:18.280 --> 00:07:20.350
at returning humans to the lunar Surface


00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:21.830
after a break of more than half a


00:07:21.840 --> 00:07:24.070
century and this time maintaining a


00:07:24.080 --> 00:07:26.749
permanent presence there the idea is


00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:28.629
that eventually the moon will provide a


00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.070
jumping off point for man missions to


00:07:31.080 --> 00:07:33.670
Mars but building a permanent man base


00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:35.309
on the moon will involve lots of


00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:37.869
planning and lots of innovation


00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:39.550
establishing a Human Habitat on the


00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:41.670
lunar South Pole on an airless Dusty


00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.350
radiation soaked Rock thousands of


00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.189
kilometers from Earth is doable with


00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.230
today's technology but that doesn't mean


00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:49.710
it's going to be easy now a review of


00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:51.670
the plan by Concordia researchers


00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:53.110
reported in the journal progress in


00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:55.230
Aerospace science breaks down the many


00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:57.390
challenges of lunar based manufacturing


00:07:57.400 --> 00:07:59.149
construction which will be essential for


00:07:59.159 --> 00:08:01.110
a establishing a sustainable long-term


00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.550
lunar presence to establish the


00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.390
infrastructure needed to produce the


00:08:05.400 --> 00:08:07.589
essential tools structures and systems


00:08:07.599 --> 00:08:09.589
habitation on the moon will require


00:08:09.599 --> 00:08:12.350
three critical Technologies firstly


00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:14.029
there's 3D printing then there's


00:08:14.039 --> 00:08:16.510
extensive use of Robotics and finally


00:08:16.520 --> 00:08:18.909
lots of artificial intelligence to solve


00:08:18.919 --> 00:08:21.110
problems in new ways one of the


00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:23.309
studies's authors Kristoph skinski says


00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:25.110
these three Technologies working


00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:26.710
together offer the versatility


00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:28.909
adaptability and flexibility needed to


00:08:28.919 --> 00:08:31.749
respond to the challenges as they arise


00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:33.509
a 3D printer will be able to produce


00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.310
specialized parts and structures


00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.149
essential to building maintaining and


00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:39.709
repairing lunar infrastructure given the


00:08:39.719 --> 00:08:41.230
unique environment in which they'll be


00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:42.829
used many of the instruments will be


00:08:42.839 --> 00:08:44.870
equally unique in fact for everything


00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:46.470
that needs to be built on the moon it'll


00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.350
probably be the first time and it will


00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.230
need to be done based either on inputs


00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:51.870
from the crew on site or from


00:08:51.880 --> 00:08:53.790
Specialists on the earth who can beam up


00:08:53.800 --> 00:08:55.710
designs have the machines produce them


00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:57.990
while the astronauts are asleep the moon


00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:00.030
also has a critical natural source that


00:09:00.040 --> 00:09:02.110
can help cut down the total payload from


00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.350
Earth launch Supply missions namely the


00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:06.990
lunar regul the layer of fine but highly


00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.110
abrasive dust which covers the moon's


00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.230
surface and so there'll need to be a


00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:13.750
mobile 3D printing robot that uses a


00:09:13.760 --> 00:09:15.750
composite of space grade polymers known


00:09:15.760 --> 00:09:18.110
as polyether Ketone and a Luna dust


00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.269
simulant for on demand fabrication of


00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:23.030
complex geometries and of course regali


00:09:23.040 --> 00:09:24.670
has the additional benefit of being an


00:09:24.680 --> 00:09:26.350
effective barrier against solar


00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.910
radiation so using it in construction as


00:09:28.920 --> 00:09:31.269
a radi insulator layer would reduce the


00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.230
need to bring similar materials up from


00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:35.990
Earth the longer term challenge will be


00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:37.829
transitioning towards using local


00:09:37.839 --> 00:09:39.829
materials on the moon primarily not just


00:09:39.839 --> 00:09:42.590
as a filler but as the main ingredient


00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:44.310
however current solutions for this are


00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:46.829
all very energy intensive both the


00:09:46.839 --> 00:09:48.670
United States and China have stated


00:09:48.680 --> 00:09:50.710
their Ambitions to establish long-term


00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:52.389
presence on the Moon by the middle of


00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:55.550
the next decade gisi says the goals are


00:09:55.560 --> 00:09:57.150
feasible for similar and shorter


00:09:57.160 --> 00:09:58.870
duration missions along the lines of


00:09:58.880 --> 00:10:00.829
trips to the International Space Station


00:10:00.839 --> 00:10:03.750
or Antarctic research centers he says a


00:10:03.760 --> 00:10:05.750
longer term presence will present even


00:10:05.760 --> 00:10:07.750
more challenges especially regarding the


00:10:07.760 --> 00:10:09.750
effects extended duration has on human


00:10:09.760 --> 00:10:11.870
biology as well as legal issues around


00:10:11.880 --> 00:10:14.430
Luna territorial


00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:15.870
[Music]


00:10:15.880 --> 00:10:18.150
rights one of the challenging things


00:10:18.160 --> 00:10:20.470
about building on the moon is that you


00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.949
don't want to bring large infrastructure


00:10:22.959 --> 00:10:25.590
with you and it's also challenging to


00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:28.550
bring humans so ideally what you'd like


00:10:28.560 --> 00:10:31.470
to do is use small robots that can move


00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:34.110
around and do the building successful


00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:36.069
integration of Robotics additive


00:10:36.079 --> 00:10:38.949
manufacturing or 3D printing and AI is


00:10:38.959 --> 00:10:41.590
essential for lunar fabrication robotics


00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.829
help us to fabricate large scale Parts


00:10:43.839 --> 00:10:47.030
in harsh environments AI helps us to


00:10:47.040 --> 00:10:49.750
enhance decision making optimize the


00:10:49.760 --> 00:10:53.110
design and monitor the processes working


00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:56.110
on the moon is nasty business because


00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.910
you have to deal with the regolith that


00:10:58.920 --> 00:11:00.990
is there you have to deal with the


00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:02.910
temperature fluctuations the harsh


00:11:02.920 --> 00:11:05.069
vacuum environment and the reduced


00:11:05.079 --> 00:11:07.629
gravity and you have to get the


00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:09.470
materials there both your building


00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:11.870
materials and the Machinery to build it


00:11:11.880 --> 00:11:13.910
which is one of the most difficult and


00:11:13.920 --> 00:11:17.030
most expensive challenges lunar regolith


00:11:17.040 --> 00:11:21.150
is a nasty Jagged abrasive material


00:11:21.160 --> 00:11:22.990
which makes it difficult to work with


00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:26.030
and introduces engineering challenges to


00:11:26.040 --> 00:11:29.030
integrate into any process on the other


00:11:29.040 --> 00:11:32.350
hand and using the material is a great


00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.590
way to reduce the costs of exploration


00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:37.670
additive manufacturing whether it's on


00:11:37.680 --> 00:11:40.389
the moon or here on Earth is advancing


00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:43.870
rapidly and is enabling us to combine


00:11:43.880 --> 00:11:50.190
high-tech materials in very novel


00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:53.150
ways that's kristofh skiski and Muhammad


00:11:53.160 --> 00:11:55.190
aami from the Concord Institute for


00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:58.470
Aerospace design and Innovation and this


00:11:58.480 --> 00:11:59.840
is spacetime


00:11:59.850 --> 00:12:14.670
[Music]


00:12:14.680 --> 00:12:17.069
time and time now to take another brief


00:12:17.079 --> 00:12:18.430
look at some of the other stories making


00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.509
news in science this week with a science


00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:23.269
report a new study has warned that outs


00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:24.750
diagnosed with attention deficit


00:12:24.760 --> 00:12:27.509
hyperactivity disorder or ADHD may have


00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:30.470
shorter lifespans the findings reported


00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:32.430
in the British Journal of Psychiatry and


00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:35.550
Based on data from 3,29 adults across


00:12:35.560 --> 00:12:38.350
the UK who have all been diagnosed with


00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:41.629
ADHD they then compared this group with


00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:44.550
3,390 participants without ADHD who were


00:12:44.560 --> 00:12:47.069
matched by age sex and primary care


00:12:47.079 --> 00:12:49.150
practice the authors has found an


00:12:49.160 --> 00:12:51.189
apparent reduction in life expectancy


00:12:51.199 --> 00:12:53.990
for men with diagnosed ADHD of between 4


00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.590
and 1/2 and 9 years and between 6 and


00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:59.189
1/2 and 11 years for women more


00:12:59.199 --> 00:13:01.030
disturbingly the study also found that


00:13:01.040 --> 00:13:03.590
fewer than one in N adults with ADHD had


00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:05.509
actually been diagnosed meaning that


00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:07.310
only a fraction of the total population


00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:10.069
of adults with ADHD could be studied


00:13:10.079 --> 00:13:12.350
people with ADHD experience differences


00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:14.550
in the way they focus their attention


00:13:14.560 --> 00:13:16.150
they often have high energy and an


00:13:16.160 --> 00:13:17.829
ability to focus intensely on what


00:13:17.839 --> 00:13:20.470
interests them however they may find it


00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.790
difficult to focus on mundane tasks that


00:13:22.800 --> 00:13:24.389
can lead to more impulsiveness


00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.430
restlessness and differences in planning


00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:28.750
and time management and that makes it


00:13:28.760 --> 00:13:31.110
harder to succeed at school or at work


00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.509
leading to longer term


00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:35.910
challenges new research warns that the


00:13:35.920 --> 00:13:37.710
cycle of coral bleaching on the Great


00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:39.430
Barrier Reef has now reached


00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.949
catastrophic levels the study by


00:13:41.959 --> 00:13:43.790
scientists with the University of Sydney


00:13:43.800 --> 00:13:45.790
highlights the complex interplay between


00:13:45.800 --> 00:13:48.310
heat stress disease onset and coral


00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:51.350
mortality the authors found that 66% of


00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:53.230
the colonies were bleached by February


00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:57.470
2024 and 80% by April last year and by


00:13:57.480 --> 00:14:00.430
July they found that 40 4% of all bleach


00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:02.870
Coral colonies had


00:14:02.880 --> 00:14:05.389
died a new study has found that blue


00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.430
rings in the stems of trees and bushes


00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.310
in Norway could have been the result of


00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:11.550
volcanic eruptions in Central and South


00:14:11.560 --> 00:14:13.509
America a report in the journal


00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:15.749
Frontiers in plant science studied


00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:18.030
Norwegian pine trees and Juniper shrubs


00:14:18.040 --> 00:14:20.389
dying wood samples to reveal blue Rings


00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:22.189
which represent years when the plant


00:14:22.199 --> 00:14:24.350
didn't grow properly likely due to


00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.550
especially cold summer weather the


00:14:26.560 --> 00:14:28.310
authors found that across the plants


00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:30.470
they sampled Rings were most common from


00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:34.749
the years 1902 and 1877 with 96% of


00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:37.110
pines and 68% of juniper shrubs


00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:40.310
revealing blue Rings In 1902 and 84% of


00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:43.350
trees and 36% of shrubs in


00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.749
1877 they say previous research had


00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:47.590
already linked the cold 1902


00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:49.350
temperatures in Scandinavia to the


00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:51.310
volcanic eruption of Mount Pelle in the


00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:54.389
Caribbean and the cold summer of 1877


00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:57.829
aligns with the eruption of Cotopaxi in


00:14:57.839 --> 00:15:00.150
Ecuador well it's been a huge week in


00:15:00.160 --> 00:15:02.030
technology with Samsung releasing its


00:15:02.040 --> 00:15:04.550
new AI smartphones with the details


00:15:04.560 --> 00:15:06.269
we're joined by technology editor Alex


00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:09.150
saharov Roy from Tech advice. life yes


00:15:09.160 --> 00:15:11.710
well there's three models the s25 the


00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:15.310
s25 plus and the s25 ultra obviously the


00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:17.470
ultra is the most advanced model with


00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:19.030
the biggest screen and the best cameras


00:15:19.040 --> 00:15:20.829
and The Stylist but all of them have the


00:15:20.839 --> 00:15:24.350
Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy so this is


00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.110
a specially fine-tuned processor they're


00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.870
talking about a boost of 40 % in the


00:15:29.880 --> 00:15:33.990
neural Processing Unit 37% in the CPU


00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:37.670
and 30% in the GPU compared to the s24


00:15:37.680 --> 00:15:40.230
generation and what Samsung is doing is


00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:42.829
they're promoting this as your AI


00:15:42.839 --> 00:15:44.870
companion so I've seen this phone of


00:15:44.880 --> 00:15:46.509
played with it at a special event for


00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:48.990
the media and you can talk to the phone


00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:50.670
like it was a human it's using Google


00:15:50.680 --> 00:15:53.350
Gemini so Bixby which was Samsung's


00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:55.189
previous AI system it's still there but


00:15:55.199 --> 00:15:57.710
it's no longer the prime AI companion


00:15:57.720 --> 00:15:59.749
it's now Gemini and you can talk to


00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:01.269
Gemini in the same way you can talk to


00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:04.230
chat GPT and discuss ideas and issues


00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:06.949
and reason with it so that puts it ahead


00:16:06.959 --> 00:16:09.069
of what apple is doing it brings it to


00:16:09.079 --> 00:16:10.430
par with what Google is doing because


00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:12.110
Google has had Gemini and look existing


00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:13.910
users can download Gemini and use it too


00:16:13.920 --> 00:16:15.990
but this is now sort of a standard part


00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.470
of the phone you can ask your phone to


00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:20.550
look at a YouTube video uh extract


00:16:20.560 --> 00:16:22.230
whatever are the main points and put it


00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:24.550
into a note in your notes app for you so


00:16:24.560 --> 00:16:26.110
the whole idea is it's becoming this


00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.590
agentic AI device where you can interact


00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:31.590
with your phone and get it to do things


00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:33.550
across different apps now at the moment


00:16:33.560 --> 00:16:35.590
it's the apps that are built in the


00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:38.030
calendar the Gmail Spotify and WhatsApp


00:16:38.040 --> 00:16:39.150
or a couple of app I mean there'll be


00:16:39.160 --> 00:16:41.030
more of them to come but there's a I


00:16:41.040 --> 00:16:43.269
think called now brief that shows you


00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:44.870
information on you know when you have to


00:16:44.880 --> 00:16:46.470
leave for your next appointment or


00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:47.870
things that you have scheduled for the


00:16:47.880 --> 00:16:49.110
rest of the day other interesting


00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:51.230
information that is like a briefing for


00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:52.629
you and you have this when you look at


00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:54.030
the phone it's on the lock screen as


00:16:54.040 --> 00:16:55.870
well uh you've got call recording and


00:16:55.880 --> 00:16:57.629
transcripts you've got the ability to


00:16:57.639 --> 00:16:59.629
translate 20 different languages on


00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:02.269
device Samsung has been very strong in


00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:04.110
in pointing out how much it's taking


00:17:04.120 --> 00:17:06.549
privacy very seriously being able to


00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:08.590
interact with the phone to ask it to dim


00:17:08.600 --> 00:17:10.429
the screen because your eyes are tired


00:17:10.439 --> 00:17:11.829
it's something you can now do just by


00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:13.429
asking there's a feature called best


00:17:13.439 --> 00:17:15.710
face a little bit similar to one we saw


00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:17.829
from Google last year where you can take


00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:20.870
a series of photos of you know people at


00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:22.549
a party or at an event and inevitably


00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:24.069
somebody is going to be blinking or


00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:26.189
looking away or not smiling and you can


00:17:26.199 --> 00:17:28.029
now choose from all the the right faces


00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:29.510
and choose the best one so everyone


00:17:29.520 --> 00:17:31.270
looks their best and I asked Samsung is


00:17:31.280 --> 00:17:32.789
this just Google's feature or is this


00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:34.350
your own and they said it's their own


00:17:34.360 --> 00:17:35.789
feature which is interesting because


00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:37.390
good for competition there's an audio


00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:39.070
eraser so let's say you're recording a


00:17:39.080 --> 00:17:40.909
video and there's wind noise or there's


00:17:40.919 --> 00:17:42.510
just too much background noise or you're


00:17:42.520 --> 00:17:44.110
at the beach and there's noise from the


00:17:44.120 --> 00:17:46.390
you know the ocean you can actually turn


00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:48.510
various elements of the background noise


00:17:48.520 --> 00:17:50.950
up or down so you can focus on The Voice


00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:53.710
or you can focus on the uh the noises of


00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:55.630
nature so that's giving you some video


00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:57.350
editing capabilities if you have a bunch


00:17:57.360 --> 00:17:59.350
of Samsung appliances like one of their


00:17:59.360 --> 00:18:01.909
watches and a TV maybe air filters the


00:18:01.919 --> 00:18:03.630
watch can figure out when it is you


00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:05.230
falling asleep because your breathing


00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:06.909
patterns change and other things change


00:18:06.919 --> 00:18:08.830
and it can turn the TV off for you or it


00:18:08.840 --> 00:18:12.029
can put on the uh air purifier if it


00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:13.310
needs to do that based on what it's


00:18:13.320 --> 00:18:15.270
figuring out about your personal health


00:18:15.280 --> 00:18:16.870
metrics the other big question of course


00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:18.750
is price I understand they've gone down


00:18:18.760 --> 00:18:20.270
in price compared to previous models


00:18:20.280 --> 00:18:21.510
yeah well a few things have gone down so


00:18:21.520 --> 00:18:23.789
it's thinner it's lighter it's stronger


00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:26.950
uh with this uh Corning Gorilla Glass to


00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:28.350
now last time you could drop it from


00:18:28.360 --> 00:18:30.270
waste he to a meter this time you could


00:18:30.280 --> 00:18:33.230
drop it from head height 2.2 m without a


00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:35.149
case and according to the test the


00:18:35.159 --> 00:18:38.070
screen hasn't broken now the s25 ultra


00:18:38.080 --> 00:18:40.630
starts for the 256 gig model in


00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:42.270
Australian dollars at


00:18:42.280 --> 00:18:45.070
$2,149 so that's 50 bucks less than last


00:18:45.080 --> 00:18:47.430
year and they've also got a 512 gig and


00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:50.990
a 1 TB model it's 2349 for the 512 and


00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:54.110
2749 for the 1 terab obviously the s25


00:18:54.120 --> 00:18:56.230
and the s25 plus are cheaper with


00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:59.029
smaller screens but usually the ult is


00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:00.549
the particular one that they want to


00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:02.909
sell they teased something else it was


00:19:02.919 --> 00:19:05.470
called the Samsung s25 Edge so this is a


00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:07.430
very thin phone meant to compete with


00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:10.070
the rumored iPhone 17 air that's meant


00:19:10.080 --> 00:19:12.070
to come in September or October this


00:19:12.080 --> 00:19:13.590
year from Apple they've just gone all


00:19:13.600 --> 00:19:15.669
out to make this the best Android phone


00:19:15.679 --> 00:19:16.990
you can get even better than the ones


00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:19.110
from Google and they're hoping that this


00:19:19.120 --> 00:19:21.029
is going to propel them into winning the


00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:23.909
AI race for 2025 that's Alex Sahara Roy
