This. Is a Triple J podcast.

Have you ever been on a flight
0:04
and found that your feet and you'll
0:06
love of legs have gotten really swollen?
0:08
Maybe if had to use compression Sox?
0:10
Why does that happen? I'm. Lucy Smith.
0:12
Welcome back to Science with Dr. Karl
0:14
where we get into that in this
0:16
week's episode. Plus, the old people really
0:18
have a distinct smell and you might
0:20
have heard the saying be before grass,
0:22
you're on your ass. Cross before be
0:24
you're in the clear. Is there a
0:26
science? Do it. Let's. Find out. Not
0:31
call to kick us off much of a
0:33
question for you those reading a store on
0:36
A B C Science about these the kidneys
0:38
who were caught eating the eggs of Queensland
0:40
bomb breathing turtles and there you know they
0:42
quite literally had egg on their face and
0:45
what that for hims a lot I thought
0:47
hey I stole that from their article not
0:49
and m what that potentially means for the
0:52
future of these turtles and it's really interesting
0:54
article if you wanna go check it out
0:56
on A B C Science Why I wanted
0:58
to ask you about Britain What obviously caught.
1:01
My attention was the bum breathing
1:03
turtle that they really breathing through
1:05
their bombs. What's what's that about?
1:07
his. Extra breathing so. The
1:10
first thing to realize is called
1:12
clerical breathing coworker is the latin
1:14
word for sewer so birds and
1:16
turtles use that whole the the
1:18
body for feces and six and
1:20
you're and everything. Second think they
1:22
share something that we share which
1:24
is it in the case we
1:27
human you've got ten me to
1:29
go from your mouth, the under
1:31
the bomb tell leaders who made
1:33
his and and the very edge
1:35
all of it. Will. What
1:37
is absorbing food is that food would
1:39
go straight to bloodstream. Your. Brain
1:41
would go of his face and you would go
1:43
to some sort of shock. So what happens? Is
1:45
it The food? That is derived
1:48
from your got it goes firstly into
1:50
separate circulation and then to deliver. The
1:53
Liverpool there were a once except for a
1:55
bit at the top under your tongue and
1:57
a bit at the other end for you.
2:01
And so parents of newborn babies learn
2:03
about this when they get hundred dolls.
2:05
pauses Tories. So with a baby's gonna
2:08
say that you don't have to us
2:10
a favor so you give it some
2:12
pendle in his bevan. guess vomit. Yeah
2:14
cause vomiting and easy to hell's gonna
2:17
do. It was a nice shove it
2:19
up the other end because that goes
2:21
directly into the general circulation. And the
2:24
same for a turtle. The blood supply
2:26
from the Co Aca. Doesn't.
2:28
Go into the liver first he goes
2:30
straight into general circulation. So what's the
2:32
total does is it goes suck suck
2:35
push suck suck books and and it
2:37
brings water in and out of it's
2:39
cloaca maybe every couple seconds and say
2:41
they intend to stay were cold reform
2:43
our double is a Yelp zones which
2:46
is where the water runs of a
2:48
shallow rocks and so's turbulence and and
2:50
six reps as yet lots of oxygen
2:52
in the warrior how in of fish
2:54
tank if it's a big test sustained
2:56
either have a top as. The little
2:59
ones you have a pump to keep
3:01
on being oxygen finished. Tastes the oxygen
3:03
molecules sit in between. The. Water
3:05
molecules the what about his applause will
3:07
boomerangs the oxygen molecules of like little
3:10
hand weights and says the the turtles
3:12
are in this area we the what
3:14
a silly shallow air disturbances, the floor
3:16
loss of oxygen and while i mainly
3:18
brew to their mouth is a want
3:21
to they can stand water for day
3:23
for days and so keeping an eye
3:25
on things waiting for some food become
3:27
past. So they bought bought Also looks
3:29
like it's breathing. Is a source of
3:32
us mean that outset yes but it from
3:34
the outside you probably wouldn't wouldn't notice it
3:36
because silly to the water. but it's But
3:38
if it was silly still to be able
3:41
to see a git of were coming in
3:43
and out. In and out in that breen
3:45
oxygen molecules in between the word of mouth
3:47
is a dozen split the water to give
3:50
ya stood still she's in most user already
3:52
there. So it's not a to have a
3:54
respiratory system in their bomb. it's just the
3:56
using the oxygen with their clunker. this or
3:58
says the want to come It's kind of
4:01
like a gill on a fish. So there's high
4:03
oxygen in the water, low oxygen in their blood,
4:05
and the water and the blood are really close
4:07
to each other in the cloaca. And
4:10
again, the oxygen molecules go down the
4:12
concentration gradient from being at a high
4:14
level in the turbulent water to a
4:16
low level in their blood. So
4:18
they use this as sort of like a top
4:20
up standard water for days at a time. Thanks
4:23
Carl. Shucks. See, I had a question. I
4:25
put it to him. 0439757555, you can do the same. I'll
4:29
start off with Holly in Kiamah. Holly, something's
4:31
been going on with you for the last six months. What
4:33
is it? Oh, hi doctors. Yes, I
4:36
have a question for you. I
4:38
used to get the normal everyday grumbling
4:40
tummy when I had hunger
4:42
pains, that sort of thing. Recently
4:44
though, as you say in the last six months,
4:47
instead of getting that, I
4:49
get this violent loud burp
4:51
that gurgles up from nowhere
4:54
and completely unexpected. So what's
4:56
happening? Wow. Firstly,
4:58
don't know, but I'm guessing that it's
5:00
a combination of you might
5:02
have matured in your burping system. So
5:05
somebody in my family has a condition I've
5:08
called a burpia. A meaning
5:10
not, ea meaning condition of burp. They
5:12
can't burp. They cannot burp. So if
5:14
they have sissy water, it just builds
5:16
up as pain and they can't burp
5:19
up. Now, have you Holly been able to burp
5:21
in the past? Yeah. I used
5:23
to be champion burper with my big brother and
5:25
his friends. So yes. How far could
5:27
you get through the alphabet on one burp? On
5:30
one burp. I think around the dinner table, it was
5:32
probably about up to M. Wow. I
5:35
used to sing a lot. So I had a good diaphragm
5:37
control and everything, whether that had anything to do with that.
5:41
Okay. So from that we can
5:43
work out that you haven't suddenly matured
5:45
your burp reflex at this incredibly advanced
5:48
age of more than six years old.
5:50
So in that case, I'm having a guess
5:53
here. I'm guessing there's
5:55
something to do with the
5:57
microbiome in your gut changing.
6:01
So you have on average 37 trillion cells
6:03
in your body that came to you when
6:05
your parents loved each other very much in
6:08
a special way your age of nine months
6:10
ago. But then shortly after birth you
6:12
got invaded by it turns out to
6:14
be now a total of 40 trillion and
6:17
most of them live in your gut and there
6:19
may be a hundred grams of them and they
6:21
change with time and that's the only thing I
6:23
can think of that maybe there's been a change
6:26
in your diet or maybe you've had a gut
6:28
condition. Look I don't know because I don't have time
6:30
to go into the history. Now is it bothering
6:32
you? Is it something that you feel is not good for
6:35
your health? Is it something where you think you need to
6:37
go and see your GP? Well
6:40
the only reason is because I tell my children not
6:42
to be obnoxious and burp like I used to. I
6:44
don't tell them I used to do that. But
6:47
yeah I'm lucky I work from home and I'm
6:49
not doing it in the office. But yeah it's
6:51
nothing major. I just thought if I could get
6:53
to the bottom of it and not burp out
6:55
loudly unexpectedly it would be alright. And you
6:57
haven't had any gut illnesses or other illnesses in
7:00
the last six months or you've taken antibiotics that
7:02
might have changed your gut microbiome? No
7:04
that's why I was asking because I assumed if
7:07
I had done that that makes sense. But no
7:09
nothing's changed so I'll just keep an eye on
7:11
it and see what happens. We
7:13
have a special medical word for that when you just
7:15
said keep an eye on it. The
7:17
medical phrase is benign
7:20
and masterful neglect. Really? Yeah
7:23
you say so you'll treat this patient with benign
7:25
and masterful neglect. You'll just look at them every
7:28
now and then and do nothing and just see
7:30
if they get better or worse if they get
7:32
better as good and if
7:34
they get worse you do something about it. We've got
7:36
Andrew who's texted in saying love that word cloaca. I'm
7:38
going to use that one for sure. When
7:44
I got school captain in high school my uncle- You were
7:46
a school captain? Yeah can you tell? I
7:48
dreamed you were a school captain. When
7:50
my- Prefect! Oh my god you
7:52
were in a school camp? Oh my god I'm jealous. I tell you
7:55
they treated us differently in the gong back then.
7:57
That's it when I got school captain. my
8:00
uncle used to call me Captain Clowacker. What?
8:04
Yeah, because we had chickens. And
8:06
he found out that chickens had a Clowacker and then
8:08
he would call me Captain Clowacker. I hope
8:10
it didn't make you feel bad. No, not
8:12
at all. Not at all. We've got
8:14
Damo here for Kyabram. Damo.
8:17
You've got a question about sunburn. Yeah,
8:19
okay, doctors. I've been to
8:21
sunburn in life once as close as we all have. And
8:24
just wondering why our hands never seem to
8:26
get burnt. Well
8:28
firstly, the skin is thicker
8:30
anyway on the back of your
8:32
hands. Secondly, you do get relatively constant
8:35
exposure, so you tend to build up a bit
8:37
of a tan. So if you put
8:39
your hand
8:41
on your tummy, okay, you
8:44
might expose your tummy to the sun. On the
8:46
underpants area, you'll see that it's a darker colour.
8:49
Then you also have natural oils that can
8:51
be involved. And then you tend to kind
8:54
of protect your hands, you can get burnt
8:56
on your hands, but it's relatively uncommon. And
8:59
I can't think of when our life got burnt
9:01
on my hands ever. Me neither. But
9:03
then you see people who do have tans from
9:05
where their rings are and that kind of thing,
9:08
when they watch as well. So it doesn't happen. Yeah,
9:10
of course. So look, I'd
9:13
rate my answer maybe 6 out of 10 on that one,
9:15
Damo. It's not
9:17
as good as the very first one we had with
9:19
the bum breathing turtle. And I think I did pretty
9:21
badly on the a burpee or
9:23
the burping changes too. Look, no one's keeping
9:26
score, but Damo. Okay.
9:30
So say you're sort of, I don't know at this stage. Yeah,
9:32
I definitely don't know. Maybe
9:35
slightly more of a thicker skin and natural oils and
9:37
a bit of protective behaviour in the tanning. Okay,
9:39
maybe 6 and a half, maybe a credit. We've
9:42
got Simon from Stockton. Now Simon, your son
9:44
Kai has a question and you kind of
9:46
want to pass on the answer. What's going
9:48
on? Yeah,
9:50
hi guys. So Kai is 3 and he's really interested in
9:52
things that float and things
9:54
that sink. We were
9:57
driving over the bridge the other day in one of the old
9:59
Sydney ferries in the... the harbour in Newcastle
10:01
and he asked why do boats
10:03
float. I sort of
10:05
have some ideas I guess but I have no
10:07
idea how to explain it to a three-year-old. I
10:09
just hope Dr. Carl could help me out. You
10:11
want the official Dr. Carl cosign
10:14
Simon. So Dr. Carl why
10:16
do boats float? Okay so firstly
10:18
think of a big heavy tree trunk
10:21
and it's on land and you just cannot move it
10:23
in any direction but if it's in
10:25
the water, the water gives it a
10:28
certain amount of lift and
10:30
then that tree trunk as you put
10:32
in the water it'll sink to a certain
10:34
degree and then some of the
10:37
tree trunk will still stay exposed unless of
10:39
course it's iron bark in which
10:41
case it'll sink to the bottom. Okay
10:43
so you got that sort of concept
10:45
that there's a kind of a floatation
10:48
thing provided by the water. Now
10:50
think of two separate syndromes.
10:52
Now you got a wok. A wok
10:54
is that Chinese thing for cooking maybe
10:56
30 centimetres 40 centimetres
10:59
across and then you put
11:01
in water and it just floats so high. Imagine
11:03
if you were to get the wok and then
11:05
just squash it down with a vice hammer it
11:08
into a little tiny cube and you put in
11:10
the water and it would sink and you're trying
11:12
to think well it's still
11:14
the same weight but
11:16
what's the difference and the difference
11:18
is the Archimedes principle.
11:20
So Archimedes was an incredibly
11:22
forward-thinking guy who made it
11:25
into the latest Indiana Jones
11:27
movie apparently. It was the
11:29
Clock of the Future and
11:31
the anyway so he
11:34
the story goes like this he put his he had
11:37
a bath full of water he had a
11:39
bath absolutely full to the top of water
11:42
and he tried to get into it and
11:44
as he put his foot in the
11:46
water flowed over the edge and
11:49
then he kept on putting more of his leg
11:51
in and more and more water kept on flowing
11:53
out and he suddenly
11:55
realised something that the
11:58
weight of the water If the object
12:00
floated, if an object would float in
12:02
the water, the weight of
12:05
the water that flowed out was
12:07
equal to the weight of the object. Now just say
12:09
that again slowly. If you've got
12:11
a floating object like the wok or a
12:14
human and you've got a full container, the
12:16
weight of the water that flows out equals the
12:19
weight of the floating object. If
12:21
it sinks, that's a whole different ballpark. So
12:24
that's what's going on. You spread
12:26
the mass of the boat
12:28
or the wok over a large surface
12:31
area so it doesn't all sink in
12:33
one go. And so it gets to
12:35
push out a lot of water and
12:38
if the wok weighs say a
12:40
kilogram and it pushes out a kilogram of water and
12:42
it's still above the water level, well
12:45
it stays there. But
12:48
that's the basic principle that if a floating
12:50
object will push out a weight
12:52
of water equal to its own weight. And
12:56
this Archimedes was so impressive apparently he ran through
12:58
the streets naked because apparently the Greeks would do
13:00
that in those days. At least
13:02
at their Olympic Games shouting Eureka meaning
13:04
literally I have found it. And that's
13:07
why scientists talk about a Eureka moment.
13:09
When you look at something and you
13:11
suddenly realise what's really going on. Does
13:13
that kind of help Simon? Yeah
13:16
I think that helps. So I might have to
13:18
find myself a wok and a vice and put
13:20
together an experiment I think. Yeah, yeah. Or just
13:22
a lump of metal. Yeah if you can
13:24
find a lump of metal, a saucepan would
13:27
do it. Yeah. If you have
13:29
the two of them and you show that they're the same
13:31
weight and then try to set up a
13:34
way to catch the water overflowing from a
13:36
full container and then you can prove to
13:39
your son that the weight of the water is
13:41
equal to the weight of the object. What
13:43
about a plastic toy with
13:45
a plastic container? Yeah, there's something you
13:47
can do there. But you can buy measuring
13:49
things really cheaply for like 15 bucks. Do
13:53
you have weighing scales for cooking at home? No
13:55
I don't. I'm not that particular. Oh so you've
13:57
got the other One? Yeah. I'm not that
13:59
particular. It has begun and often
14:01
very creative sort. Of
14:04
license is so cells are thinking a weighing scales
14:07
and then two lumps of better roughly the same
14:09
white one spread out. One in a lump. All
14:13
got from Adelaide. What's your question? Get.
14:16
On a doctor's Ah so my
14:18
question is why is that all
14:20
people tend to smell a little
14:23
bit the frame especially man. Ah,
14:28
Amazing Wheels really a paper on
14:30
that just earlier this week and
14:32
it was about the difference in
14:34
smell. Between. Incense and
14:36
teenagers in the early years and
14:38
teenagers in their later years and
14:40
there is. It isn't a smokes
14:43
but this is a first come
14:45
out of. Have found out. A
14:48
pay out of set of have always six
14:50
weeks lot of the smells and and analyze
14:52
them and of course as a whole bunch
14:54
of different smells of course as you know
14:56
for knows that he they gave them nice
14:59
this is a fatty acid this is an
15:01
aromatic hydrocarbons zero whole bunch of different chemicals
15:03
and so what we know for sure now
15:05
that with his doses down those people have
15:07
gone to use machines we never saw that
15:09
there are different smells. Why
15:12
is a whole different
15:14
ball park so you're
15:16
consider. Our. People and Evolution
15:18
and for most of of loosen. Of.
15:21
Humans. There were no old people south
15:23
with had humans from around two hundred
15:25
thousand years ago. How
15:27
many hundred billion have been
15:29
born in the last two
15:32
hundred thousand years? and of
15:34
today's any, I'd be a
15:36
lot of authors hundred billion.
15:38
The overwhelming majority died before
15:40
they made twenty. Most.
15:43
Of them died before they hit puberty.
15:46
In. My family my son got to
15:48
be at an early age and didn't
15:50
die. it's my when you old daughter
15:52
has overall city a lot us and
15:54
didn't die and over Christmas new year's
15:57
my granddaughter end up in hospital and
15:59
didn't die. So this was everywhere
16:01
and they wouldn't see his old people
16:03
were really with south from the evolution
16:05
point of view all of these these
16:07
it is you don't have to have
16:09
babies twelve thirteen and then my die
16:11
or is really hard and all accept
16:14
see it is he saying ah the
16:16
different smells definitely is why made the
16:18
machines of running very well still try
16:20
to keep cells allies in the okay
16:22
as i had all com i started
16:24
but a smoker separate us to run
16:26
it says the why we can't answer
16:28
at the moment. And. It
16:30
could be that's which is they're
16:32
sort of Valve Evolutionary, The Patton,
16:35
the some very satisfying answer Doctor
16:37
all go for you. but as.
16:40
It gets their. The accuser and redux
16:42
was definitely measured the difference and
16:44
a Chinese in the early teenage
16:46
years and so but and parasites
16:48
his mills his russo so disgusted
16:50
yes. Sir over
16:52
in. Iraq. Thanks Old Ass or
16:55
yoga same here Know that are I think
16:57
you some once. Again, apologize and
16:59
got less. Laughlin from
17:01
Planes Land, the Level and No money on
17:04
and I this morning. Og.
17:06
Mornings Authors Yeah, my question is a
17:09
bit of an embarrassing one. Time.
17:11
Know index been. There but
17:14
every time Us Navy's likes auto, know what
17:16
it is. twenty or thirty seconds later or

same to. Ah, I
17:20
guess I was and are an erection.
17:23
As I and I was I was
17:25
wondering if there's any for specific answer
17:27
for this is a bunch of answers
17:29
was kind of gives the media seems
17:31
that the know them a really good
17:33
suffers. he was a guttural an erection
17:35
and ejaculate isn't the way that medical
17:37
students are taught about it is point.
17:39
And. Suits. Point.
17:42
Being so, the erection and
17:44
pee standing for your parasympathetic
17:46
nervous system. So
17:49
you're relaxing system is you
17:51
the recent and in the
17:53
ejaculation as says this is
17:55

18:01
Use sympathetic nervous system is sort of
18:04
kick into action and he had that.
18:06
Would be against having Hillary enrich the
18:08
devil is it happens We do knows
18:10
it's sneezing is an incredibly important replace
18:13
because was discussing the along with of
18:15
get out. So in the overwhelming majority
18:17
of people the sneeze reflex is stronger
18:19
than a nice debate and is crosswise.
18:22
So what about to the set of
18:24
people the got a cross worry so
18:26
much that when I go out into
18:28
the sunlight they start sneezing. So in
18:31
this. Case the last falling on
18:33
his face and they rise makes
18:35
them sneeze. but it can be
18:37
crossword the other way. The sneezing
18:39
consider of undesired other reactions were
18:41
not I saw the undesirable is
18:43
nothing wrong with a missile, just

19:25
then as a bit more vaguely.
19:27
The. Snitch saw response like logistical but
19:30

a carpenter. Your. City. Was.
20:20
As public as a tracer is has
20:22
divorce since I was just reading an
20:24
article how in Paris. Part
20:26
of the reason the Paris is
20:28
such a livable city. Is
20:31
it the people who work there can
20:33
live. As his
20:35
government supported housing so people who
20:37
know fabulous the wealthy can live
20:40
in government housing in the city
20:42
and make of the city's is
20:44
these. Were. It whereas
20:46
in for example London is a classic
20:48
case we the people who would say
20:51
have to tell for two hours to
20:53
worth it Getting back to know that
20:55
was devoted could blow you have a
20:58
be incompetence even society running and what's
21:00
happening is it Before you awake a
21:02
few hours earlier you start pumping out
21:05
a chemical called quarters old. And
21:08
this chemical gradually increases in how much
21:10
you've got. A new blood denotes you
21:13
might get from one milligram to lead
21:15
us into two and three. an aggressive
21:17
increases during the morning. But the thing
21:19
the wake you up is how Sauce
21:21
and Increases is a subset of people
21:24
who is. You get him into rebar
21:26
three and say i want you to
21:28
wake up a quarter six tomorrow or
21:30
hop us events anymore. They cortisol levels.
21:33
the amount they produce reduces maximum level.
21:35
South is easy, pumping it out fast.
21:37
As at a certain time and they can time that
21:39
and we don't know how says it's a wake of
21:41
the same time. So this happened to you. So.
21:45
Says that route that much of a
21:47
pathway. We. Know in that we know
21:49
this is the right. It was said chemical is
21:52
pumped out but why some people can do and
21:54
some can't we don't know and I'm guessing and
21:56
will be very frustrating. Easy go to. Really like
21:58
not new. been a pie. The used to wake
22:00
up early as I haven't. Yet.
22:03
Dot. Com you get back to sleep those. Sometimes
22:06

22:35
And the in Melbourne. Ember, What's your
22:37
question? The forever look at. The.
22:39
Morning of the things As Americans I
22:42

always heard that insight. Finally Navy Navy
22:46
guy that says all that see before
22:48
grass and you're on your all. Across.
22:51
The for the else and you're in the
22:53
clear analysis wondering what's her so as to
22:55
that. Well I'm a
22:58
peer reviewed paper by Snoop Dogg says
23:00
that. Ah
23:04
yes is of pretty up on
23:06
this and it's been around a
23:08
nice in the common parlance. The
23:11
language vod did you make his
23:13
Mississippi something going on in assessing
23:15
to realize is that all drugs
23:17
opposes what matters is a does
23:20
your to have a responsibility though
23:22
to make a decision was a
23:24
high on alcohol or anything else
23:26
that anymore he is as good
23:29
as way before. Go to the
23:31
real stuff Now I just like
23:33

23:39
surprising is is is not an A
23:41
for tighter a drug so would you
23:43

24:05
such it can enhance the effects
24:07
of cannabis coming after it. And
24:10
sometimes as a sakes can be
24:12
good and sometimes it can be
24:14
bad. but in general this sort
24:17
of saying is is bad. Can.
24:20

27:45
and a cause tetanus, clostridium,
27:47
tip noise when the best
27:49
things can happen. Secondly, now

28:38
answer is I don't know what's going

say he was. Got Kaylee in can brought
30:07
all six hundred. Getting into the science fiction?
30:09
Well, what's your question? I'd
30:12
of his arm recently. I've read
30:14
a couple books it gave similar
30:16
descriptions arms when a person troubles
30:19
in just in space non in
30:21
time, one where the wrinkle in
30:23
time I'm Madeline Li Angle smile
30:25
and the second was are inflamed
30:28
by her Becky are also that
30:30
basically also the car door had
30:32
made a jump in space on
30:34
they both describe like tingling in
30:37
their thing is is it the
30:39
ah circulation was. We're. Turning
30:41
off the like, a period of
30:43
being normal, not circulating on the
30:46
obviously. For them, it's happening instantaneously.
30:48
So what would cause that sort
30:50
of physical. Reactions. So
30:53
you're you're You're saying that you're
30:55
reading science fiction. Yes,
30:57
You're my best tennis any during
31:00
the week. Ah
31:02
only been quiet thick novels or recently ah
31:04
me. so they take a little bit to
31:07
get three. Ah, but the a wrinkle in
31:09
time ones are quite small. sorry ah me.
31:11
Get through them in a day or two
31:13
depending on how much I'm working. Right?
31:16
So have you read the three body
31:18
Problem is. No. Are
31:20
by diseases coming illness as the
31:23
scary The Gophers three body problem.
31:25
Okay so like as soon as
31:27
jump through hyperspace now we know
31:30
to zero four dimensions of space
31:32
and time in spices Three because
31:34
Foods List brought up them. In
31:37
time since six forwards and he jumping
31:39
through as as benches and what I'm
31:41
guessing to try and sit in with
31:43
the overall story line of the books
31:45
is it he getting into prison space
31:47
and you think is more go philosophers
31:49
everybody's and they more expensive business school
31:51
she space as about all i can
31:53
come up with which is a pretty
31:55
weekends or birds or does of sauce
31:57
summers off as i read the it's
31:59
so. The your years as a little
32:01
bubbles and a few things happen do
32:04
as any arms rico at was huge
32:06
the bubbles they going into these high
32:08
gravity space continuum Ceo making it up
32:10
from getting along soon as he was
32:13
he said he does it is it's
32:15
kind of a half answer. Like.
32:18
Gonna make censuses. Both books described
32:20
as physical reaction to De Soto
32:22
the same and it kind of
32:24
piqued my interest. Ah, So you're
32:26
saying also secretly the directly rules as we
32:28
have got secret volume she's a can't i
32:30
despise towards and is your way of living
32:33
is president as it's a really have got
32:35
this technology but none can hear things. Can.
32:37
Potentially it's efforts. To so in front of the.
32:41
Law embrace been that a question
32:43
about flying. Just. Say
32:45
I'm. Dying. To Thailand saying
32:48
and I was just wondering like why
32:50
do body parts well when you fly
32:52
an iron at his last time I
32:54
went. To Europe. It. Happened to
32:57
me and previously growing up. when of I've
32:59
gone it's never happened. Friends got it our
33:01
way to prevent the. Ah
33:03
so how do you will You had previously
33:05
and did not have it happen. Yes,
33:08
I've flown to Europe when
33:10
I was eight, ten, twelve,
33:13
sixteen, and nineteen. Ah,
33:15
now. I can never happen
33:17
but how the how to use a
33:19
source of as happened. To.
33:22
You like in your early twenties? I
33:25
was nineteen. Yeah, I'm twenty two now.
33:27
And is have when you're nineteen. Yes,
33:30
Okay, well that's kind of
33:32
assholes evolution over the hill,
33:35
but he doesn't need you
33:37
anymore. so move the resources
33:39
of those. I was so
33:42
in an aeroplane. The.
33:44
Atmosphere is at a
33:46
lower pressure. Is
33:48
on the ground. Is
33:50
may be seventy or eighty percent of
33:52
voters is on the grounds. Through isn't
33:54
as I don't have it at one
33:57
hundred percent. Is it that have to
33:59
make the cylinder. If the airplane very
34:01
strong and they were both aeroplane
34:03
heavy and that would cut into
34:05
the payload of paying passengers the
34:07
would carry. so the is is
34:10
normally scissors or around eight thousand
34:12
seat. where's probably seventy percent of
34:14
what does dell ground level or
34:16
they they they couldn't uses the.
34:19
Word yeah, the outside pressure will you
34:21
flying and thirty thousand say because everybody
34:23
in the or play would go unconscious.
34:25
So you've got the system that you've
34:27
got a new breed. the evolved. To.
34:30
