[00:00:02]Uh, what is that?

[00:00:04]>> That looks like dust.

[00:00:06]>> So much dust.

[00:00:09]It is spreading.

[00:00:11]>> Everyone stay alert.

[00:00:16]>> Hey, I can barely see.

[00:00:18]>> The brightness is dropping fast.

[00:00:21]>> The temperature is falling.

[00:00:23]It's getting colder.

[00:00:25]The sun's light is being blocked.

[00:00:28]>> The dust is stopping the light.

[00:00:31]>> I am shining, but my light is not reaching you.

[00:00:36]>> [music] >> Huh?

[00:00:38]>> If this keeps going, we'll freeze.

[00:00:42]>> We need to clear this.

[00:00:44]>> We can't lose the sun's light.

[00:00:47]>> Huh?

[00:00:48]>> That is a lot of dust.

[00:00:52]AumSum, the sun is disappearing.

[00:00:55]>> The light is not reaching us.

[00:01:01]>> The dust is scattering the light.

[00:01:04]>> Scattering?

[00:01:07]>> Tiny particles spread light in all directions.

[00:01:11]>> So, less light reaches us?

[00:01:14]>> Exactly.

[00:01:16]>> Then we just push the dust away.

[00:01:20]>> Yes, blow it out.

[00:01:28]>> That didn't work.

[00:01:30]>> It is too much dust.

[00:01:32]>> We cannot remove it forcefully.

[00:01:38]>> It's getting darker.

[00:01:40]>> We are running out of time.

[00:01:44]>> EVERYONE STOP.

[00:01:48]WE DON'T need to remove it.

[00:01:50]>> [music] >> Then what? Stay in darkness?

[00:01:54]>> We create paths for the dust to spread.

[00:01:57]>> Paths?

[00:01:58]>> If the dust spreads out, light can pass through.

[00:02:02]>> So, we don't fight it?

[00:02:04]>> We gently push it apart.

[00:02:07]>> Spread the cloud instead of compressing it.

[00:02:10]>> Exactly.

[00:02:11]>> But how?

[00:02:13]>> Move slowly. Create gaps.

[00:02:17]>> Slow? That's not my style.

[00:02:20]>> We have to try.

[00:02:24]>> I am GOING FIRST.

[00:02:28]>> I am next.

[00:02:31]>> [music] >> I am going to punch this dust super hard.

[00:02:38]>> Now time for my kung fu moves.

[00:02:42]>> Keep going.

[00:02:49]>> LIGHT.

[00:02:50]>> IT'S COMING BACK.

[00:02:56]>> HEY GUYS, I'm back.

[00:02:59]>> I can see properly.

[00:03:01]>> The brightness is returning.

[00:03:03]>> The temperature is rising again.

[00:03:06]We're safe.

[00:03:08]>> Thank you, genius AumSum.

[00:03:10]>> You're welcome. Bye for now.

[00:03:14]>> Bye-bye, AumSum.

[00:03:21]Something changed.

[00:03:23]I feel different.

[00:03:25]>> It's too bright.

[00:03:29]>> This doesn't feel normal.

[00:03:31]The heat is rising fast.

[00:03:34]I don't know why this is happening.

[00:03:37]>> [music] >> It's burning out here.

[00:03:42]>> I can't handle this heat.

[00:03:45]>> Temperatures are going out of control.

[00:03:47]We're overheating.

[00:03:49]>> Everyone stay steady.

[00:03:56]>> This is getting worse.

[00:03:57]>> We can't survive this.

[00:04:00]>> We need to do something.

[00:04:05]>> What's happening?

[00:04:06]>> The sun is getting too bright.

[00:04:12]>> Too much energy.

[00:04:14]>> Can you stop it?

[00:04:18]>> Not directly.

[00:04:20]>> Then we're doomed.

[00:04:25]>> We don't stop it.

[00:04:27]>> Then what do we do?

[00:04:29]>> [music] >> We control how much we receive.

[00:04:35]>> How?

[00:04:36]>> Light carries energy. The more you absorb, the hotter you get.

[00:04:42]>> So, we need less light?

[00:04:44]>> Yes. We need to reflect more and absorb less.

[00:04:49]>> Reflect? We're not mirrors.

[00:04:52]>> You don't need to be perfect [music] mirrors.

[00:04:56]Change your angles.

[00:04:57]>> Angles?

[00:04:59]>> If you [music] tilt and shift your path slightly, less direct light will hit you.

[00:05:04]>> So, we reduce the energy we absorb.

[00:05:07]>> Exactly.

[00:05:11]>> I can't reduce it.

[00:05:14]>> Everyone, adjust your angles.

[00:05:16]>> This sounds risky.

[00:05:18]>> We have [music] to try.

[00:05:28]>> It's less intense.

[00:05:30]>> It's working.

[00:05:31]>> Keep adjusting. [music] Don't go back.

[00:05:39]>> [music] >> It's still bright, but manageable.

[00:05:42]>> We can handle this now.

[00:05:44]>> We found a balance. Even with all that energy, we stayed stable.

[00:05:52]I'm still very bright.

[00:05:55]>> That's okay.

[00:05:57]You didn't stop the energy.

[00:05:59]You learned how to live with it.
