This is StarTalk, the things you thought you knew edition. We have three segments ready to roll. One of them is on Earth's core. And we're going to round this out with something we've all done before, but I don't know how much thinking you've ever put into it.
What happens if Earth’s core is slowing? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice explore the spinning of Earth’s core, the physics of tire pressure, and the science of toast.
