This Atom Can Predict The Future

The video explores the peculiar connection between beryllium 7 concentrations in Australia and Russia and the onset of monsoon rains in India. It explains how Hadley cells, large air circulation patterns, are responsible for this phenomenon. By understanding these cells, we can predict the rainy season in India, aiding farmers in crop planning. Historical examples of invisible mechanisms, like gravity and mercury poisoning, are used to illustrate how seemingly random connections can be understood through science.

How did historical understandings of natural phenomena lead to modern predictions in weather?
