0:00.0 | Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in. |
0:05.8 | Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years. |
0:11.0 | Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program. |
0:19.6 | To learn more about Yachtolt, visit yawcp.co.j.jot.com.j, that's y-A-K-U-L-T-C-O-J-P. |
0:28.4 | When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacolt. |
0:33.7 | This is Scientific American's 60-second science. I'm Christopher in Taliatta. |
0:38.3 | On July 20th, 1969, humankind finally set foot on the surface of the moon. |
0:45.3 | 50 years later, a big mystery remains. How the heck the moon got there in the first place? |
0:50.3 | For decades, the thinking on that has been that four and a half billion years ago, a Mars-sized |
0:55.4 | proto-planet smashed into the Earth. When the dust settled, our moon remained, forged from the |
1:00.6 | debris of Earth and that other object. The problem is, as scientists have taken more and more precise |
1:06.2 | isotopic measurements of the Moon, they've found that it's nearly identical in composition |
1:10.5 | to the Earth, |
1:11.6 | not some other object. |
1:13.3 | A problem that I've been advertising is an isotopic crisis. |
1:17.0 | Jay Malash studies planetary impacts at Purdue University. |
1:20.7 | Now he says a new theory in the journal Nature Geoscience may at least point to a way out |
1:25.9 | of that isotopic crisis, of the moon's chemical |
1:28.6 | isotopes so closely resembling Earths. Here's the idea. The authors, a team of Japanese |
1:34.2 | scientists, write that maybe in those early days of the solar system, the Earth was sloshing with |
1:39.1 | oceans of magma. Then, when the Mars-sized objects slammed into those molten seas, their models predict a lot more |
1:45.8 | Earth-derived material gets ejected into orbit in the form of scorching vapors. |
