tsunami triggers more than 90 miles off the coast
of San Diego. Their research involved a 12 -day
cruise aboard the oceanographic research vessel
Sally Ride. Dr. Andrea Fabrizi, a geophysics
expert, warned that a tsunami could pose a serious
threat to coastal communities like Los Angeles,
Tijuana, and San Diego. His colleague, Dr. Jillian
Maloney, emphasized the challenges of studying
underwater faults, stating that while earthquakes
cannot be predicted, Understanding fault lines
can help assess potential damage and prepare
emergency services for future events. Now on
to sports. In an intense NBA play -in tournament

Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
science. A new study suggests that at the quantum
level, time might be flowing in reverse without
our awareness. Researchers in England have discovered
two arrows of time in open quantum systems moving
in opposite directions. This finding challenges
our understanding of time's asymmetrical nature.
The study indicates that as energy dissipates
into the environment, time's flow is indicated
by entropy, which always increases. Senior author
Andrea Rocco emphasizes that while this theory
does not imply time travel, it offers a fresh
perspective on time's function in thermodynamics
and the universe's creation, raising intriguing
questions about our reality. Hollywood is facing
a challenge as original movies struggle to attract
audiences. Director Christopher Landon recently
warned that it's really hard out there for an
original movie, as his thriller dropped open
to an estimated $7 .5 million. Similarly, Disney's
The Amateur debuted at $15 million. Despite a
push for original ideas, nearly every recent
release based on fresh scripts has disappointed
at the box office. The industry is still recovering
from the pandemic, with many consumers preferring
to wait for films to stream online rather than
attend theaters. Well, alrighty folks, it's time
for the quote of the day. And today, our quote
comes from the Scottish author and reformer,
Samuel Smiles. And he said, Hope is like the
sun, which as we journey toward it, casts the
shadow of our burden behind us. And that's a
wrap for this morning. You can check out our
Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating
aerial videos with local news and the surf reports.
Have an amazing day, my good friends. We'll see
you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings
