9/11 photo

September 11, 2021

This is off-topic but I feel appropriate on the anniversary to share a personal experience from 9/11. Pam and I were horrified from the left bank of the Potomac to feel the plane hit the Pentagon. I took this creepy photo from our hotel room after the impact. See the Twin Towers? I will[..

Global dads decline then plummet after Younger Dryas comet impact

Complex systems rob earth of fathers

August 7, 2021

Tusk buddy Antonio Zamora tipped me off to the paper below revealing that a global loss of genetic males coincides exactly with the comet impact at ~12,882. Tony does an indispensable job surfacing literature highly relevant to the Younger Dryas Impact. I had missed the stunning 2015 gene paper.[..

Teaching the Younger Dryas Impact

August 1, 2021

The Tusk has characteristically hit a summer communication drought. But that doesn’t mean we can’t toss up a YouTube here and there from the coast. It’s welcome to see college courses fully integrating the Younger Dryas Impact into their thinking about the Younger Dryas and climate change. Here’s a great effort from Middlebury College.[..

Steele et al. (2021)

Atmospheric Covid Entombed in Cosmic Dust

July 30, 2021

In a review of all the relevant key evidence the most parsimonious explanation seems to be that COVID-19 came from space [2,3], just as have many other similar suddenly emergent pandemics past and recent: such as the Spanish Flu 1918-1919 and the other pandemics that punctuate history over millennia, and in particular over the[..

New explanations of space-borne virus theory

June 27, 2021

Here are a couple of quick reads sent to me recently providing evidentiary and intellectual insights regarding the unpopular belief that novel viruses arrive from space (inside specks of cosmic dust millions of times larger).[..

The Fall of Phaethon

Long published field evidence supports Bronze Age Bavarian impact

June 17, 2021

The Chiemgau impact in Bavarian Germany stands out as a particularly sympathetic “martyr” crater. The evidence for a Bronze Age euro-apocalypse is sincerely published and well established as a legitimate hypothesis based on decades of meticulous fieldwork, but entirely dismissed because the proponents believe the impact was relatively recent in geological terms. The authors[..

Crater Denier

Crater man Christian Koeberl denies impact crater

June 6, 2021

To gauge the depth of the anti-science pathology surrounding the Younger Dryas Impact, it is instructive to review a single quote from an oft-quoted ‘expert’ in cosmic impact craters, Dr. Christian Koeberl. In 2018, shortly after NASA announced in Science the discovery of the Hiawatha Crater in NW Greenland, Koeberl provided his opinion, which[..

Younger Dryas Impact cataclysm evidence exceeds that of UFO's

May 27, 2021

It has been proposed that the Younger Dryas period/GS-1 was initiated by a cosmic impact, for which there is indirect and debated evidence in a large number of sites in the NH surrounding the North Atlantic region (Kennett et al., 2015). A very significant Platinum (Pt) spike has been identified in the GISP2 ice[..

Sweatman nails it

Authoritative and readable overview of the Younger Dryas Impact debate published in Earth Science Reviews

May 13, 2021

Indefatigable genius and digital friend of the Tusk, Dr. Martin Sweatman, authored a surprise blockbuster this week. Below is a peer-reviewed and fully accepted pre-online synthesis overview of the Younger Dryas Impact controversy since the very first paper in 2007. ‘The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis: review of the impact evidence’ concludes…[..

Wild stuff!

May 10, 2021

The sciency internet is alive with consensus condemnation and universal damnation for a new paper from Rhawn Joseph, now dubbed the “Tiger King of Mars.” In the article below, Joseph et al. continues a radical break from conventional interpretations of Martian photography, believing a number of odd features photographed by the Martian rovers are…wait[..

THE CASE FOR A CATASTROPHIC DELIVERY MECHANISM DAVIAS, Michael, Cintos Research, 1381 Hope Street, Stamford, CT 06907 and GILBRIDE, Jeanette L., Cintos Research, Raleigh, NC 27613, [email protected] Regions of the Atlantic Coastal Plain are often capped by a surficial sheet of[..

PBS NOVA on the Younger Dryas Impact

Wonderful 2009 show available again -- but watch quickly!

May 2, 2021

It seems like a lazy cheat to post YouTube videos two weeks in a row, instead of writing in-depth subject articles on the Tusk. But who has the time for that? And anyway the video below is a particularly special communication. It is special because WGBH\PBS no longer stream this 2009 episode on their[..

Avi Loeb

Hmmm...

March 29, 2021

Avi Loeb is no household name, but he wants to be. The chairman of the Department of Astronomy at Harvard has appeared on more than 50 podcasts since the start of the year. Given a minimum of one hour per podcast, I’d ask for a week’s pay back if I were Harvard. The guy[..

Tusk and UnchartedX join The Randall Carlson Podcast

February 15, 2021

Free speech podcasting is an awesome thing. Before our digital overlords take podcasting from us, the Tusk is going to enjoy it as much as possible as a consumer and a guest. Joining geo-bear and catastrophe sherpa Randall Carlson on his show this week was particularly fun.[..

Funny stuff

Internet wag zeros in on real science

February 5, 2021

This is a priceless video spoof concerning the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis. And surprisingly, it is directed at the most timely part of the actual debate — the most recent attack on the hypothesis from Sun et al. — which it manages to DESTROY. https://t.co/WQtQFoDsRk — George Howard (@CosmicTusk) February 6, 2021[..

Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes pinned on fragmenting Taurid comet

Bill Napier's work to warn of increased risk described by Evan Gough of Universe Today

February 4, 2021

In a nutshell, Napier’s study shows how comets are likely to fragment and lose considerable mass during encounters with the inner Solar System. The debris trail can expand to a cross section larger than Earth, increasing the odds of impacts with Earth. Also, the debris has considerable impact energy. But over time, that energy[..

Read the papers: Covid is probably from Space

Life and disease in space confirmed by Russians in 2018

January 26, 2021

In 2018, on January 23, Russia was first to publish the discovery of space based life obtained by appropriate technical means in a collaborative international scientific effort. Based on genes swiped with a tampon from the OUTSIDE of an International Space Station window, three respected Russian laboratories, and twelve well-credentialed scientists, published a peer-reviewed[..

Egypt Unplugged

New media creatives share the adventure

January 23, 2021

The only thing more fun than touring Egypt top to bottom is making the trip with creative people that record the adventure and share it with the world. The Tusk is thrilled to have the memories and interpretations of our wonderful expedition out there to enjoy for years to come. Lemme know if I’ve[..

Tusk racks up two co-author citations PER WEEK in 2020

January 1, 2021

If you can’t toot your own horn on New Years, when can you? As a citizen scientist the Tusk is darn proud — and thankful to the credentialed lead authors — to close 2020 with exactly 100 co-author citations. More interesting than my navel, perhaps, is the trend in citations concerning the Younger Dryas[..
