BELL RINGS

0:00:020:00:03

Oh, Jonathan, I'm so nervous about my first time on TV!

0:00:030:00:06

I'm not sure I'm ready.

0:00:060:00:07

You'll be fine, Miss Hucklebuck.

0:00:070:00:09

It's all here in the notes.

0:00:090:00:11

Oh, and by the way, the name's...

0:00:110:00:13

THEY SCREAM

0:00:130:00:14

Morning, Colin! It's almost 5am here in Mongolia.

0:00:140:00:18

It's freezing cold, but I'm ready to go.

0:00:180:00:21

And it's almost 6pm here in sunny Rio and I'm ready to party!

0:00:210:00:25

Hey, hey!

0:00:250:00:27

BELL RINGS

0:00:290:00:30

-Jonathan! My notes!

-Break a leg, Miss Hucklebuck.

0:00:300:00:32

Whoop! CRASH!

0:00:320:00:34

I think maybe I just did!

0:00:340:00:36

This is...

0:00:360:00:37

..with...

0:00:390:00:41

..Colin the floor manager and...

0:00:450:00:48

Stand by!

0:00:500:00:51

Come on, everybody!

0:00:520:00:54

-DR KNOWLES:

-Welcome to Brain Freeze: Time Zone Special.

0:00:540:00:57

It's time for...

0:00:570:00:59

Today, we're asking...

0:01:010:01:03

You, um...

0:01:040:01:05

Oh.

0:01:050:01:06

Today we're asking...

0:01:060:01:08

The Earth spins on its axis

0:01:100:01:12

once every 24 hours,

0:01:120:01:13

which gives us day and night.

0:01:130:01:15

Before there were mechanical clocks,

0:01:150:01:17

time was measured mostly using the sun.

0:01:170:01:19

When the sun was at its highest point, we called that noon,

0:01:190:01:22

but as the world became more connected, there was a need

0:01:220:01:25

for a more universal system of time measurement.

0:01:250:01:28

MCCORK: So what did they do?

0:01:280:01:29

The solution was the standard time zone system -

0:01:290:01:32

a series of imaginary lines dividing the Earth into 24 zones,

0:01:320:01:36

each an hour apart.

0:01:360:01:38

So when it's night-time here in Rio...

0:01:380:01:40

..it's morning time here in Mongolia.

0:01:400:01:43

Wait! I've got this one.

0:01:430:01:45

SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

0:01:450:01:46

See you after the break!

0:01:460:01:49

And we're clear!

0:01:500:01:51

Oh, that was a disaster.

0:01:510:01:53

I just know I can do better!

0:01:530:01:55

Here are your notes for part two.

0:01:550:01:57

Please be extremely careful.

0:01:570:01:59

Hey, hey!

0:01:590:02:00

No, not again!

0:02:000:02:02

Hey, Colin, thanks for sending me to Rio. This is the best fun ever!

0:02:020:02:06

I'm even learning how to do the limbo.

0:02:060:02:08

Professor, you do realise you're supposed to be doing

0:02:080:02:11

actual science work, don't you?

0:02:110:02:13

Well, I'm working on my suntan.

0:02:130:02:14

That's kind of science, isn't it? Ha!

0:02:140:02:16

-BELL RINGS

-Ah!

0:02:160:02:18

Oh, crumpets, we're going live!

0:02:180:02:20

But what will I do without my notes, Jonathan?

0:02:200:02:23

You'll just have to wing it, Miss Hucklebuck.

0:02:230:02:25

And for the last time, the name's Colin!

0:02:250:02:27

'You can do this. You are a star.

0:02:320:02:36

'This is your destiny.

0:02:360:02:38

'Take it by the horns!'

0:02:380:02:40

-Welcome back, Brain Freezers.

-Oh!

0:02:400:02:43

So, Dr Knowles, why does the Earth spin on its axis?

0:02:430:02:47

Oh, er...

0:02:470:02:48

Before there were planets in our solar system,

0:02:480:02:50

there was a spinning nebulous cloud of dust with our sun at the centre.

0:02:500:02:54

Over time, these particles began to stick together

0:02:540:02:57

and eventually formed planets, which inherited this spinning momentum.

0:02:570:03:02

So, you could say

0:03:020:03:03

the Earth keeps spinning

0:03:030:03:04

because there's nothing there to stop it, right?

0:03:040:03:07

Exactly! Just as Newton's first law of motion states...

0:03:070:03:10

"An object will remain in whatever state of motion it is in,

0:03:100:03:13

"unless another force acts upon it."

0:03:130:03:16

I couldn't have said it better myself!

0:03:160:03:19

So it's goodbye from me in Mongolia...

0:03:190:03:21

..from me in Rio...

0:03:210:03:22

..and from me in Brain Freeze studios.

0:03:220:03:24

Goodbye.

0:03:240:03:26

And we're clear!

0:03:260:03:28

Right, McCork, I expect you back here first thing Monday morning.

0:03:280:03:32

That's GMT, remember.

0:03:320:03:34

The thing is, Colin, I've just qualified for the finals

0:03:340:03:37

of the limbo, so I might just stay here a bit longer,

0:03:370:03:39

if that's all right.

0:03:390:03:40

Oh, the joys of being a floor manager.

0:03:400:03:43

Well, I'm happy to help out whenever you need it, Colin.

0:03:430:03:47

Did...did you just call me...?

0:03:470:03:49

No, I don't think so...

0:03:490:03:51

-Jonathan.

-SHE GIGGLES

0:03:510:03:53

Aw, crumpets!

0:03:530:03:55

Argh!

0:03:550:03:56
