The Fall of Phaethon

Long published field evidence supports Bronze Age Bavarian impact
The Chiemgau impact in Bavarian Germany stands out as particularly sympathetic crater martyr. The evidence for a euro-apocalypse is sincerely published and well established as a legitimate hypothesis based on decades of meticulous fieldwork, but entirely ignored because it happened relatively recently in geological terms. The coolest thing about the Chiemgau impact is how[..

Avi Loeb

Hmmm...
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[..

Recent Bolivian Airburst

Iturralde Crater may be not be an "impact" crater
…the impactor would have encountered the atmosphere at velocities of approximately 20-50 km/s, and the released energy of the airburst would have been comparable to or greater than any known nuclear explosion. From Wikipedia: The structure was identified on the basis of Landsat imagery in 1985.[2] It is located between the Manupari and Madidi[..

A year later, not a word on Alaska paper in Nature with evidence for repeated cataclysm
It’s hard to be cynical enough in this game. I noted today that “Science Communicators,” a recently discussed poorly adapting subspecies, have yet to mention this blockbuster paper in Nature Reports one year ago. Specifically, there is credible preliminary evidence contained by the bucketful that there was a catastrophe prior to the Younger Dryas[..

Catastrophic panspermia induces 9 of 10 species within human history
Panspermia 2013 The Tusk recieved an extraordinary paper recently and immediately pinged our digital acquaintance for commentary, world treasure: Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe. “Chandra, I hope you are well. A friend of the Comet Research Group\YDB team just sent around an announcement of the following discovery: https://phys.org/news/2018-05-gene-survey-reveals-facets-evolution.html A large-scale genetic comparison has discovered that 90%[..

Tusk on Seven Ages Podcast

Seven Ages Audio Journal
I had a blast last week joining the hosts of my favorite new podcast: Seven Ages Audio Journal. Like the Tusk, veteran podcaster Micah Hanks and his science bros Jason Pentrail and James Waldo attempt the difficult balance between hard science, responsible speculation and perhaps some entertainment. I think they recognized me as a[..
