Physicist, airburst specialist, planetary defender, & CSI Fellow. I'm critical of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis (YDIH) which has strong links to global warming denial, creationism, & pseudoarchaeology. It relies on misinformation & fake peer review.

I don't & would never use it, but this is funny. Tomorrow Grok will be down for "adjustments." Lol.

β€œThe chronic ongoing problem, for nearly two decades, is that the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis proponents withhold the evidence they claim to have,” Boslough said. β€œWhen independent scientists ask to see it β€” in the form of materials, for example β€” we are attacked for β€˜suggesting fraud.’” πŸ‘€

This is what happens to scientists when we ask the Comet Research Group if they can share even the tiniest morsel of evidence for their impact hypothesis: β€œHow DARE you!”

Nobody does more to suppress the evidence for the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis than the Comet Research Group itself. #YDIH

Controversial comet theory struck by two new retractions In a now-retracted paper, the authors report they found shocked quartz formed by an airburst from clouds of comet fragments that hit earth more than 12,000 years ago. Source PLOS One has retracted …

The Younger Dryas Impact folks just suffered two new retractions. Errors ranged from missing data and AI hallucinations to the misidentification of marine plankton as comet dust.

Why did federal prosecutors ask New Mexico to drop its investigation into Zorro Ranch in 2019? And why are these files not in the file release by the DOJ under the Epstein Files Transparency Act?

It will be interesting to see some of this glass of George can track it down. He’s been on the case for at least a month now. youtu.be/KWJNugT8i7U?...

No, Abu Hureyra was a legitimate archaeological excavation in the early 1970s. The CRG found a huge amount of glass in excavated sediments that the leader of the original dig somehow missed. Sadly, their large collection of glass seems to have gone missing. George is trying to find it though.

It’s a pity they had to create their own vanity journal to publish this!

How could we have misrepresented evidence that has never been revealed? Pictures of material with unknown provenance or chain of custody is not legitimate evidence. Dots and lines on paper with no underlying data or methodology does not count either. Show us the actual data!
