Episode #030: Fingerprints of Catastrophe – Spherules

We look at products of hyper-velocity impact events and microscopically-enhanced spherules that are repeatedly found in association with the Younger Dryas Boundary – now across four continents, bolstering the idea that this event was truly global

Episode #029: Fingerprints of Catastrophe

Fingerprints require enhancements with technology to assess – like the spectrum of microspherules at the YDB horizon or the variety of indicators that are retrieved from ice cores / differences between airbursts and impacts, along with bolide types

Episode #028: Destruction by Floods and Fire

Commonality of legends of cyclic catastrophes due to floods and fires, and the reasons why Native Americans didn’t adopt stories of a great flood from visiting missionaries. We show evidence of huge floods that occurred across the Pacific Northwest

Episode #027: Comets and Platinum Group Metals

More details about the 5 stages of the life cycle of comets. Platinum group metals and their uses in technology. Outer gas giants’ orbital distances are exactly what they need to be to create a bucket-brigade delivering comets to inner solar system

Episode #026: Comets and the Cosmic Biome

Incoming Comet Atlas and parabolic orbits / 2014 article referencing “exobiology” / BOTS guest Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe – wondering if life is prevalent across the universe, and whether or not plagues/pandemics are due to cosmic activity

Episode #025: The Life Cycle of Comets

Effects this process can have on Earth. Meteor showers and progression of a disintegrating comet provide material for multiple impacts. Critical lessons from Sheomaker-Levy 9, K-T boundary impact, Tunguska, and nuclear detonations – evidence for YDIH

Episode #024: Younger Dryas – The Big Picture

Generalist scientists need to cross-pollenate between disciplines and adjust focus to the “Big Picture” of human/Earth history, to which the Younger Dryas Boundary is a back-drop, obscuring our view of possible prior Pleistocene high civilizations

Episode #023: Vanishing of the Clovis People – Part 2

Widespread Cultural Collapse: Review of sudden disappearance of southwestern deserts’ Clovis settlements coinciding with the YDB, massive reduction in projectile-point finds across the US, hiatus of occupation in Great Lakes Region, Belgium, &SW Asia

Episode #022: Correspondence

Randall responds to listener questions: Curious features in Ontario, east of the ancient Sudbury impact site; Myth of Phaeton referring to Younger Dryas catastrophes; Sudden freezing of Mega-mammals; Origin of the Earth and plate tectonics; drumlins
