Tusk on Tape

The Cosmic Tusk has had the good fortune to join several podcasts in the last few years  years to discuss the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis. I am a big podcast fan, and unlike TV, narrow subject fiends like myself stand a chance to get on the air.

But if had to do the podcast over again, I would have made more than a passing reference to an idea of mine. In the podcast, I suggested Joe Rogan question his regular guest Neil DeGrasse Tyson about his thoughts…

Randall Carlson does a great job here explaining a really creepy but profound aspect of the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis. Halloween, like death festivals worldwide in late Octoberearly November, reflects the trauma inflicted by the Taurid Meteor stream on the ancients during recurring bombardments. As Bill Napier described it once to me, Earth’s intersection with the Taurids in Late…

See permanent page here Readers may recall a few months ago the Tusk and Australian university student Marc Young compiled a bibliography and archive file of all the YDIH publications since the seminal PNAS publication in 2007. I have taken the files and given them a permanent home here. The publication history of the subject is a long and complex one, but the arc of of the subject clearly bends…

This one is particularly welcome and represents the best walk-though of the debate, paper by paper, twist by turn, since Hancock’s careful narration here. This is invaluable science communication and should be viewed by anyone interested in the subject, pro…
