    io is one of jupiters most fascinating moons and is the most geologically active

    body in the solar system. with a diameter of about three thousand six hundred f

    ortythree kilometers, io is slightly larger than earths moon, and it orbits jupi

    ter at a distance of around four hundred twentyone thousand seven hundred kilome

    ters. io is one of the four galilean moons discovered by galileo galilei in sixt

    een ten, alongside europa, ganymede, and callisto. io stands out because of its

    extreme volcanic activity and vibrant surface.the surface of io is covered in ov

    er four hundred active volcanoes, making it the most volcanically active object

    in our solar system. these volcanoes, some of which spew sulfur and molten rock,

    are driven by tidal heating caused by the gravitational pull of jupiter and the

    other galilean moons. ios orbit is slightly elliptical, meaning its distance fr

    om jupiter changes as it moves along its path. this orbital eccentricity causes

    immense tidal forces that flex ios interior, generating heat and driving the vol

    canic activity. this process is known as tidal heating.one of the most striking

    features of ios surface is the presence of vast plains of sulfur and its yellow,

    red, and white coloration. the volcanic eruptions spew sulfur dioxide gas, whic

    h freezes on the surface, forming vast deposits of sulfur and its compounds. the

    surface is dotted with lava lakes, volcanic pits, and mountains made of silicat

    e rock. these eruptions constantly reshape the moons surface, creating a dynamic

    and everchanging landscape. one of the most famous features on io is the massiv

    e volcano loki patera, which is the largest volcano on the moon and one of the m

    ost active.the atmosphere of io is extremely thin and is primarily composed of s

    ulfur dioxide, a gas that is released by the volcanoes. because the atmosphere i

    s so thin, it is unable to support life, and it is not breathable. the atmospher

    e also contributes to the colorful appearance of io, as it interacts with the so

    lar wind and the radiation from jupiters powerful magnetic field. the interactio

    n of these particles can create auroras, which are visible near the poles of io.

    ios geological features are also notable because of the moons lack of impact cra

    ters. the constant volcanic activity resurfaces the moon, erasing evidence of im

    pacts from space debris. this makes io one of the youngest bodies in the solar s

    ystem, geologically speaking. the volcanic eruptions also result in the formatio

    n of plumes that can reach heights of up to five hundred kilometers. these plume

    s are made of sulfur dioxide, water vapor, and other compounds.in conclusion, io

    is an extraordinary moon with dynamic geological features and intense volcanic

    activity. its unique characteristics, from its constant eruptions to its vibrant

    surface colors, make it a subject of immense interest to scientists studying pl

    anetary bodies and the forces that shape them. as one of the most active moons i

    n the solar system, io continues to reveal the incredible processes at work in t

    he vast reaches of space.

    I kind of do this when watching My childhood movies, like the old teenage mutant Ninja turtle live action movies. Or the original karate kid. We're even seeing actors when they're younger.

    I have absolutely no scene of time
    Nor its passing

    So.. I can be talking..
    You can ask me
    'How long do I think ive been talking for??!!'
    And I can say..
    '20 minute's!?'
    and you can reply. .
    'Erm no!! 8 HOURS'??!!!

    I can sit down
    ( if I remember/ think to ) look at the time….
    Say its 10:03am…
    I can then look at the clock again and it's say.. 7:43PM ??!!! .. and it feels to me like I've been sat there for a mere 10 minutes…

    Now… it wasnt until I was around 47
    and became aware of the concept of TIME,
    ( I was only aware of day-time, night-time)
    that I actually "started" to physically AGE in my looks .. aged 45 people would guess my age was 20 ??!!!..
    But once i became aware of Time.. I've begun to rapidly age..
    Im now 52.. and have gray hair…

    Ive got a theory that..
    the more intelligent a person is..
    Their physical aging process starts at a younger age..
    and the losing/ lose of hair is one of the major physically loses..
    ???!!!!

    If any of the above that I've written makes scene??!!
    If anyone has any other ideas or wants to talk to me…
    I'm grand with that.

    I also think becoming Awaire speeds up our ageing process
    And can actually shorten how long we live for ??!!

    So ?? I ask??!!
    Is one of the secrets to a longer healthy life

    "Ignorance is indeed bliss ???!!

    Why do I feel that this video ignores or at least downplays the fact that conservatives exist?

    I mean, for someone who has done a whole video about Juvenoia, he doesn't seem to take into account the fact that some people consider the past relatable.
