NEW VIDEO: The Spinning Sphere of Molten Sodium
Added 2018-07-14 23:30:06 +0000 UTCThis experiment in Washington DC aims to recreate the conditions in Earth's outer core (to a degree) and attempt to create a self-sustaining magnetic field in the lab.
I also spoke to another scientist about Earth's magnetic fields and have his explanation in a 2veritasium video if you can't get enough of Earth's magnetic field: https://youtu.be/lWHxmJf6U3M
Which explanation did you like better?

Very interesting!
