PNS: Good evening! Rita Trevalyan here with Rhedi Krishnamurthi, PhD. There was once a famous yogi with that surname. Are you any relation?
Rhedi: He was my ancestor, but I’m proud to say that our family has turned to science and away from that New Age crap. It’s only for suckers.
PNS: Glad to hear it. What is your specialty?
Rhedi:Geology. Proserpina is a very geologically alive planet. I shall measure the seismic movements and determine when another volcano is likely to erupt. Our party will then travel the planet to the lava tubes and help the people move out of their underground homes to a place hopefully well away from the volcanic activity.
PNS: So they will be moving back to the cities on the surface.
Rhedi: That is correct, mem. But how they live afterwards is not my concern. The anthropologists will take care of them.
PNS: It is interesting that there doesn’t seem to have been much geological activity during the time the planet was wandering the cosmos, searching for a home.
Rhedi: There was no geological activity during that time. But when it encountered the gravity of our sun, things started moving again.
PNS: So our sun does more than just illuminate and heat the planets, it makes geological activity possible?
Rhedi: That is correct, mem. Why our moon is geologically dead is an open question. I daresay a team of scientists will be sent to the moon to find out why this is so.
PNS: Maybe yours truly will be able to cover that exciting science story.
Rhedi: Perhaps.
PNS: You heard it here first, folks! Tune in next week for another exciting interview with the members of the Proserpina Exploration team, same bat time, same bea channel.
