Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Tuesday, February 10th. You'll be interested
to know. Thirty years ago, today, in 1996, a
purpose -built computer called Deep Blue beat
the reigning world chess champion, Garry Kasparov,
in a match, marking a landmark artificial intelligence
victory. This achievement showed that specialized
computing systems could outperform human expertise
in strategic reasoning and inspired broader investment
in research in machine learning and intelligence
systems. So now you know. And now it's time for
the Surf Report. Tuesday at Tourmaline. This
morning it's looking fair with four to five plus
feet waves. Conditions remain fair through the
morning, but expect them to shift to choppy by

feet throughout the day, with sideshore winds
increasing to 11 miles per hour by noon. Best

In top news, protein shakes are widely available
and often marketed as convenient meal alternatives,
which may leave you wondering whether you can
have protein shakes instead of meals. Replacing
meals with protein shakes can affect your body
in different ways, depending on the shake's nutrient
content. Most commercial protein shakes provide
20 to 30 grams of protein per serving. Protein
shakes provide a quick, easy way to consume protein,
making it easier to increase overall protein
intake. When a protein shake replaces a meal,
consider which nutrients may be missing. In most
cases, protein shakes work best as a supplement
rather than a routine replacement for whole meals.
In business news, Elon Musk says that SpaceX
will prioritize the establishment of a self -growing
city on the moon instead of a colony on Mars.
This decision marks a significant shift in Musk's
space exploration ambitions. In a post on his
social media platform X, Musk stated that a lunar
city could be built within the next decade. He
emphasized that the mission of SpaceX remains
the same, to extend consciousness and life as
we know it to the stars. Musk indicated that
SpaceX would resume a Mars efforts in the next
five to seven years, but building on the moon
would be more efficient. In crypto movement,
Bitcoin is down 9 % to about $70 ,000. Ethereum

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now back to the
show. Let's talk science. Ripples in spacetime
from a pair of merging black holes have been
recorded in unprecedented detail, enabling physicists
to test predictions of general relativity. The
loudest collision ever recorded has allowed scientists
to confirm that Einstein's theory is correct.
In 2025, an international collaboration detected
a powerful ripple, produced by this merger. The
detectors are more sensitive than when LIGO made
its first detection in 2016. Researchers tested
Stephen Hawking's theorem and found it to be
correct with nearly 100 % confidence. Kief Mittman
and colleagues further tested whether the merger
conforms with Einstein's general relativity.
They found that the measured frequencies matched
closely with Einstein's predictions. Entertainment
news. YouTube TV is introducing lower -priced
sports and news packages. The Google loan pay
TV service announced on Monday that it will roll
out more than 10 plans, priced below a full YouTube
