Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes pinned on fragmenting Taurid comet

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 weakens, and the debris trail contracts again. ~Evan Gough, Universe…

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.

Lemme know if I’ve missed anything, but below is the growing body of work I’ve collected and will keep updated. The Tusk is thrilled to have the memories and interpretations of our wonderful expedition to enjoy for millennia to…

Happy New Year!!!

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 Impact Hypothesis in general since 2007. I probably represent a fair proxy for…

New media on the Younger Dryas Impact

Between Egypt and the ‘Ro I have neglected to post a lot in the last few months. I’ll be trying to rectify that this year, in part by doing shorter posts with more 3rd party media concerning the Younger Dryas Impact Catastrophe. There have also been a couple of new papers I’ve not posted (outside of the always current Cosmic Tusk Bib). So stayed tuned there also… Today I…

Tusk returns from epic Ancient Egypt Technology tour

Well, the Tusk has returned from two weeks in the land of the Pharaohs and enjoyed the most physically exhausting and intellectually fulfilling experience of my lifetime. I joined the hosts, Ben of UnchartedX and Jimmy of Bright Insight, and 27 new friends for what I believe is one of the great modern tours of Egypt. We had extraordinary access to all the wonders of this timeless nation and were…

The Tusk recalls keeping the YDIE a secret in 2006 and 2007, so as not to threaten the publication of what became the seminal paper in 2007. Today the secret is most assuredly OUT. Hundreds of hours of podcasts, videos, and plain old lectures are spilling forth from people all over the globe who are fascinated by the profoundly important and increasingly mainstream discovery.
