Cosmic Impacts and Earth's Climate

Proof?

The edges are not straight and one of them is actually ridge rising to a higher altitude than the peak.

With an actual pyramid those ridges/edges are straight and all descend from the apex downward at identical angles.

Not being a nutt also helps.

I have thoughts on how “advanced” people were 12,000 years ago and where the equator “used” to be before a celestial event knocked the planet off it’s former axis, but mostly for the purpose of this thread I am demonstrating very young impact sites and their disastrous effects on Earth’s climate.

The Tunguska meteor was less than 200 feet in diameter, never actually hit the ground, yielded a blast of 15 megatons (1,000 times greater than Hiroshima), and flattened 770 square miles of fully matured trees, leaving a “dead spot” in the middle where no trees grow to this day.

A one mile wide comet and it’s semi-porous structure traveling at around 50,000 mph (12 miles per second) would yield a blast of over 110,000 megatons. An iron asteroid of the same diameter could easily exceed 250,000 megatons. For reference, the world’s nuclear arsenal is under 15,000 megatons combined.

The Younger Dryas Cold Period may very well have been a type of nuclear winter.

“Oh Solon, Solon… you Greeks are like children; you don’t even know your own history!”
–Plato

In Plato’s accounts of Atlantis, he’s basically describing how 9,000 years before his ancestor Solon (638 – 558 BC), an enlightened civilization of people once existed and were destroyed by catastrophe. This was according to the Egyptians.

9,000 years before Solon is ~9,600 BC. Wait a minute, that’s 11,600 years before present! What a coincidence, that’s exactly when the Younger Dryas Event was in full swing. lol

Speaking of dinosaurs, the asteroid theory was given credibility when the K-T boundary was discovered to be at the exact same depth in the sediment no matter where you went on the globe (containing nanodiamonds, metallic microspherules, carbon spherules, magnetic spherules, iridium, platinum, charcoal, soot, fullerenes enriched in helium-3, etc…).

Those scientists were mocked and laughed at because, “Where is the crater??”

We now know that the K-T boundary originates in the Gulf of Mexico.

Similarly, there is a black mat layer (containing nanodiamonds, metallic microspherules, carbon spherules, magnetic spherules, iridium, platinum, charcoal, soot, fullerenes enriched in helium-3, etc…) that can be found on at least 5 continents which dates back to around 12-13,000 years ago.

That combined with the evidence of geologically recent impact events (including an 18 mile wide crater in Greenland), makes for a hard case at a near-extinction event for humans (biblical flood perhaps).

Speaking of extinctions, this event also wiped out over 70% of all North American mammals that weighed over 100 lbs, apparently including the Clovis People.

Steel, porous limestone cement, glass, silicon, etc…

If everyone except for the hunter-gatherer tribes of the equator were to all suddenly disappear, nothing would be left of our civilization in 5-10,000 years… except maybe a few forms of plastic, which at that point would be crumbled into the sediment and unrecognizable anyway.

Kinetic energy is a bitch. Mass x Velocity Squared.

It wouldn’t take that long. Everything man has built that isn’t of stone would be gone in a couple of thousand years.

We’ve got buildings around here built in the mid 1800’s made of stone that are in better shape than buildings made of concrete built around the turn of the century which are literally crumbling.

Glass erodes into sand pretty quickly. There are beaches in California where you can harvest multi colored pebbles and sand that used to be glass bottles and fixtures long ago dumped into the ocean.

Definitely, and the kinetic energy built up as a result of that velocity is more than the total energy keeping the molecules together in the first place.

Yep, it’s the only way to get an explosion more powerful than splitting the atom.

KE = 1/2mv^2

…

K = (½)mv²

KE looks like (K)(E) :stuck_out_tongue:

Actually it’s K.E.

I was hoping the next person to post would have simplified it further to

K = mv²/2

Oh well. Lone mathnerd again. :confused:

The 1/2 is inserted to give an average. At any point during motion however it’s MV^2

Three things to point out with the Greenland ice core samples:

  1. We are living in the most stable climate the Earth has seen in over 200,000 years.

  2. The temperature variations in Earth climate over the last 10,000 years are getting more erratic.

  3. 100-150,000 years ago, Mankind lived on Earth with a climate that was at least 15-20°C warmer than it is now.

Facts are irrelevant when discussing the climate. All data that predates the 70’s is to be ignored.

Including geology?

(pOsT mUsT bE aT lEaSt 20 ChArAcTeRs)

Of course since it refutes their premise.

Meh. There’s a lot that can be inferred about Earth’s climate via geology. Funny thing is it liberates us from responsibility for its changes.

And that would be the whole problem.
