Manasavi Lingam Avi Loeb NEW: Tusk bibliography of panspermia, disease from space and astrobiology Brig Klyce’s panspermia.org Harvard’s Avi Loeb, and Florida Tech’s Manasvi Lingam, do science and their own reputations a great disservice in a recently published fake history of the term astrobiology. In their self-described “Treatise,” they present the subject as the…

Younger Dryas trigger: Cosmic Impacts or Volcanoes?

Update: Sweatman publishes paper outlining problems with the volcano theory An extensively covered journal article by Sun et al. in Science Advances concludes that volcanoes — not a fragmenting comet — caused the Younger Dryas.

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…

Panspermia

A masterpiece of understanding

Brig Klyce’s Panspermia.org I’ve had the privilege of being in regular touch with Chandra Wickramasinghe this year. Daily emails and regular Skype and Zoom calls have become a wonderful (wonder-full) intellectual dialogue. I am amazed at his ability to stay inspirational and continue to contribute despite his ostracism from the field HE founded: Astrobiology. There is simply no…

What would the planet do without the tireless? I love how our subject draws in gifted obsessives from around the world. One example is Marc Young in Australia who compiled The Bib last year.

Gross contempt for one’s better Part I: The Plait Affair Charles S. Cockell deeply injured his discipline and reputation in an upcoming June editorial in Astronomy and Geophysics from the Royal Astronomical Society.
