1
00:00:04,999 --> 00:00:02,720
so this video is causing some

2
00:00:08,179 --> 00:00:05,009
consternation amongst the conspiracy

3
00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:08,189
theorists who think that the recent

4
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:10,050
wildfires in California was started by

5
00:00:15,709 --> 00:00:13,530
energy beams from space you can see here

6
00:00:17,990 --> 00:00:15,719
paradise California wildfires leave some

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:18,000
serious questions and see what these

8
00:00:25,009 --> 00:00:21,570
questions actually are okay so if that

9
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:25,019
is a tree that burned where's the tree

10
00:00:32,930 --> 00:00:30,710
where's the stump what what book we're

11
00:00:35,420 --> 00:00:32,940
so that's the question if that is a tree

12
00:00:37,670 --> 00:00:35,430
that burnt where is the tree where is

13
00:00:39,770 --> 00:00:37,680
the stump it's not an unreasonable

14
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:39,780
question now you can see if you look in

15
00:00:45,860 --> 00:00:42,510
this hole here that it takes the state

16
00:00:47,150 --> 00:00:45,870
shape of a of a tree stump you can see

17
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:47,160
where the roots would be it's just all

18
00:00:52,279 --> 00:00:49,050
burnt away and in fact that's what's

19
00:00:54,369 --> 00:00:52,289
happened tree stumps burn because

20
00:00:58,130 --> 00:00:54,379
they're very very dry they are very

21
00:01:00,740 --> 00:00:58,140
rotten and they are very you know at the

22
00:01:03,709 --> 00:01:00,750
end of the summer in paradise

23
00:01:05,390 --> 00:01:03,719
this where things would tend to dry but

24
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:05,400
you know it's confused some people

25
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:06,810
because there's another tree stump next

26
00:01:11,090 --> 00:01:08,250
to it that it wasn't burned this one

27
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:11,100
over here so the first steps to do in

28
00:01:14,899 --> 00:01:12,930
investigating this was to figure out

29
00:01:16,490 --> 00:01:14,909
where it was and I could figure that out

30
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:16,500
from this mailbox here he had some

31
00:01:20,990 --> 00:01:18,930
information on it that let you find what

32
00:01:24,289 --> 00:01:21,000
the address was so I found the address

33
00:01:27,020 --> 00:01:24,299
here and we can see that in fact yes

34
00:01:30,740 --> 00:01:27,030
there are tree stumps there's in fact a

35
00:01:32,859 --> 00:01:30,750
feud tree stumps along the road wash I

36
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:32,869
think it's just been probably cleared by

37
00:01:37,940 --> 00:01:35,490
yeah whoever maintains the road has one

38
00:01:39,499 --> 00:01:37,950
here there's another tree stump over

39
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:39,509
here and an interesting thing another

40
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:41,310
one over here an interesting thing is

41
00:01:47,090 --> 00:01:44,490
that this was taken in May 2012 six

42
00:01:50,270 --> 00:01:47,100
years these stumps have been sat in the

43
00:01:52,609 --> 00:01:50,280
ground for six years so they would have

44
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:52,619
been extraordinarily rotten probably

45
00:02:00,770 --> 00:01:56,450
fall into pieces and I know this because

46
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:00,780
on my property I have some tree stumps

47
00:02:10,790 --> 00:02:08,420
so this is a big pine tree that I had

48
00:02:11,390 --> 00:02:10,800
that was had to be cut down because it's

49
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:11,400
rotten

50
00:02:14,270 --> 00:02:13,170
and you can see the middle of the tree

51
00:02:16,220 --> 00:02:14,280
is actually Hollow and that does a

52
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:16,230
couple of things it creates a kind of a

53
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:19,050
chimney effect where the fire can just

54
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:22,410
burn inside the tree and burn up inside

55
00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:26,370
the tree and it also makes it very easy

56
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:27,840
for moisture to get inside which of

57
00:02:33,140 --> 00:02:29,970
course makes the tree very rotten you

58
00:02:36,290 --> 00:02:33,150
can see I can just lever off a piece of

59
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:36,300
the tree here and it's just very his

60
00:02:43,330 --> 00:02:41,420
another thing about tree stumps of

61
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:43,340
course is that they are in the ground

62
00:02:48,410 --> 00:02:47,130
here's a bit of the same tree his this

63
00:02:49,699 --> 00:02:48,420
bit of the tree was above ground you can

64
00:02:52,850 --> 00:02:49,709
seize a little bit rotten where it got

65
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:52,860
wet but if I turn the stump over I'll

66
00:02:56,090 --> 00:02:54,330
look at the part of the stump that was

67
00:02:58,940 --> 00:02:56,100
actually in contact with the ground you

68
00:03:00,710 --> 00:02:58,950
can see it's it's very different being

69
00:03:02,059 --> 00:03:00,720
in contact with the ground means you get

70
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:02,069
a lot more moisture and you get a lot

71
00:03:06,410 --> 00:03:04,770
more fungus so the tree becomes a lot

72
00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:06,420
more rotten you can see I can basically

73
00:03:10,940 --> 00:03:08,640
just dig into this tree and that's what

74
00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:10,950
the stumps would be like they would get

75
00:03:14,390 --> 00:03:12,480
during the winter they would get rotten

76
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:14,400
and then in the summer they would dry

77
00:03:19,810 --> 00:03:16,650
out and they become this kind of tinder

78
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:19,820
that we just burned very very easily

79
00:03:24,110 --> 00:03:22,410
and if you take a dry piece of this wood

80
00:03:26,750 --> 00:03:24,120
you can see that it actually burns very

81
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:26,760
very easily it's easy to ignite and you

82
00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:28,170
can just stick it in the fire and it

83
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:30,000
will just burn I've been using this as

84
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:32,370
firewood and once it gets going it burns
