Chaotic turbulence !

'Bubbles' ??? … how do you define that ?

Love the caveat in the footnote:

Footnote:1So far, much of the evidence for the bubbles comes from the Voyager energetic particle and flow measurements. Proof can also be obtained from the Voyager magnetic field observations and some of this data is also very suggestive. However, because the magnetic field is so weak, the data takes much longer to analyze with the appropriate care. Thus, unraveling the magnetic signatures of bubbles in the Voyager data is ongoing.

…. called betting on all outcomes !

PS: That voice-over commentary to the video sounds like a Kindergarten teacher in full-flight ! Phooeey .. yuk !!

The narrator was a bit annoying, but you have to remember to whom this little tidbit is aimed....the general public, most of whom are science illiterate at best. Narrate it like a matter of fact, technically loaded lecture at uni and most people wouldn't even bother to listen. Most would be lost after the first few words.
