Starquakes Could Be Behind 3 Cosmic Mysteries

The video explores seismic activity on Earth and other celestial bodies, including stars. It delves into star quakes, particularly in neutron stars, and their potential link to fast radio bursts (FRBs) and pulsar glitches. The Blasco effect in variable stars is also discussed, highlighting the role of seismic waves in these phenomena. The video emphasizes the importance of studying star quakes to understand the internal workings of celestial objects.
