A new YouTube video from Anton Petrov's channel discusses a study that accidentally uncovered a 2.4-million-year cycle influencing Earth, for which the **orbit of Mars** is likely responsible. The author explains that the influence of other planets on Earth is not surprising, but the fact that this cycle is visible in **geological deposits** and is of significant importance is news. The cycle is referred to as the **"great cycle "** and is similar to the Milankovic cycles that affect climate and ice ages on Earth. The researchers used data from **deep-sea drilling** spanning 70 million years to analyze sedimentation and changes in ocean currents, noting that these gravitational interactions may intensify water circulation, leading to **warmer climate**. The discovery also suggests that ocean currents are **more resistant** to stopping than some alarmist media reports have suggested.
