The Wickramsinghe Affair: Letter of Inquiry

I emailed an inquiry to Hermine Landt-Wilman of Durham University, and Chair of the Organizing Committee for the Astrobiology Conference that rudely canceled Chandra Wickramasinghe’s Public Lecture in April. I introduced the affair in a post here. I will post any further correspondence from or with Durham University or Landt-Wilman below as it is received. I also intend to send another…

Chandra Wickramasinghe, Cambridge ('60), Member of the Order of the British Empire ('22), cancelled for life lecture at Durham University: A Tusk Investigation

Tusk buddy Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe was gleefully invited by Durham University to give an evening lecture this April on the origin of life. And was cancelled today without courtesy or explanation. Queen Elizabeth II thought well enough of Chandra to appoint him, the year she died, to be a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE). Read the invitation and cancellation below for…

An Open Letter on Panspermia

The Tusk tossed the following question to the Dark Horse Podcast in hopes that the dynamic duo of Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein will address Panspermia in an upcoming show. They are the PERFECT intellectuals to investigate and speak to the work of Hoyle and Wickramasinghe. I have submitted the question to them on Patreon and Twitter. June 10, 2022 Dear Heather and Bret, I love you two and have…

Hear! Hear!

Not long ago before the holiday I asked my friend Chandra Wickramasinghe to take a stab at the first video discussion on the Tusk. We were patient with each other, and each requested a delay before we chatted. But it turned out wonderfully, in my humble opinion, and even included a “synchronistic” aspect. The day after our chat — despite his inconvenient and heretical data…

Steele et al. (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 best documented period over the past 100 years spanning the 20th and…

Wild stuff!

Program Note 5/11/2021: The Cosmic Tusk is changing WordPress “engines” tonight. Thanks for your patience with any glitches. 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…

Read the papers: Covid is probably from Space

Lemme make this simple for tweeters. 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 orbital scientific effort. Based on genes swiped four times in four years with a tampon from the OUTSIDE of an International Space Station window, three respected Russian laboratories, and twelve…

Pinned Post: Four key papers on Covid from Space

The criticism that bacteria and/or viruses are incapable of surviving under the harsh conditions of space is certainly not borne out by all the data that has accumulated over the past three decades. Bacteria and viruses embedded in minute grains of rock, dust, carbonaceous material, or ice, are protected effectively from radiation damage and can remain fully viable for millions of years under…
