Events shape our lives, even distant and dark ones. From the time I was a wee little one, I have stopped my fear of dark places. I pick up my torch and journey alone through darkened corridors leading down into bottomless caverns of events past. I stumble upon the remnants of an intricate puzzle, which I bring back with me, and in the quiet of my dreams, are assembled before me.

Global Mass Extinctions

Over the past 500 million years, great terrestrial cataclysms drove global mass extinctions. A new paper for the 36th Lunar & Planetary Science Conference (LPSC) on 14-18 March 2005 provides insight on both the timing and cause of these great mass extinctions. The Cosmic Clock, The Cycle of Terrestrial Mass Extinctions, describes two primary mechanisms: Oort cloud comet impacts and nearby supernova events. A dual cycle of extinction events is observed and well ordered in geological time. Both mechanisms are synchronized to the passage of the solar system through the spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy.

 

Unwrapping Structural Theories of the Universe

Our solar system resides in a spiral arm galaxy called the Milky Way. The theory The Life Cycle of Spiral Arm Galaxies describes a perspective on the inner workings of this type of galaxy.

The Unified Theory of Stellar Evolution describes the life cycle of massive stars.

The Theory of the Infinite Universe describes our universe which extends in three-dimensional space to infinity and across infinite time.

 

Comet and Asteroid Impacts and Massive Volcanism

The Great Permian Extinction Debate was presented at the 35thLunar and Planetary Science Conference. The paper provides a hypothesis of the mechanisms behind the greatest mass extinction of life on Earth, the Permian extinction. The hypothesis is applicable to 5 of the 6 Great mass extinctions events that occurred at the end of the Botomian, Devonian, Permian, Triassic, and Cretaceous Ages.

At the 2nd International Planetary Defense Conference held at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. on 5-8 March 2007, I presented the following 3 papers.

Supernovas and Ice Ages

Supernovae - The Force Behind Great Ice Ages describes how a string of nearby supernova events produces and reinvigorates Great Ice Ages.

Did a Supernova Cause the Collapse of a Civilization in India? Did a supernova cause the collapse of an early civilization in India around 2500-3000 BC and halt the construction of the Tower of Babel?

Did a Supernova cause the Collapse of the Bronze Age Civilizations? Great and powerful nations that controlled the Bronze Age world in some cases for almost two millennium fell within a very short span of fifty-years between 1225 B.C. and 1175 B.C. Civilization collapse overtook the Mycenaean of Greece, the Hittites of Anatolia, the Egyptian New Kingdom, the city-states of coastal Syria and the Levant, the Hurrian kingdom of Mitanni, and the Kassite kingdom of Babylon. These were mighty nations and archeologists have long been puzzled by what force could cause these civilizations to fall simultaneously.

Supernova: Disaster Preparedness Plan On 26 December 2004, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck off the northern coast of Sumatra spawning a large tsunami. The disaster left 300,000 people dead or missing in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Myanmar, the Maldives, Bangladesh and East Africa. The island of Simeulue was the closest to the epicenter. Thirty-foot waves crashed ashore along its coast. Of the 75,000 people living on the island, only 7 perished. This was one of the greatest areas of devastation but only 7 individuals perished. Why? The inhabitants of Simeulue Island knew the tsunami warning signs (large earthquake & shoreline receding into ocean) and they knew what to do (run into the hills). In an instant, it was determined who would live and who would die. The people on Simeulue Island survived. Do you know the warning signs of a nearby supernova and what actions to take to survive? This is not a distant hypothetical threat but one that is responsible for the sudden destruction of hundreds of civilizations during the short history of mankind.

In general, the greatest solar flares, produce the greatest solar proton events and the greatest geomagnetic storms (provided the CME strike the Earth). The size of the flare that produced the geomagnetic storm of 13 March 1989 that damaged the Canadian electricity transmission system was an X-15 solar flare. This level can be viewed as a lower threshold. The greater the solar flare is above X-15, the greater the threat to our electrical power grid.

The Global Warming Pause Almost a decade ago, there was a small merry band of skeptics that opposed the weak theory called Man-Made Global Warming. But each day, more and more joined our ranks and our cause. But the proponents of the theory were ruthless and went to extreme lengths to stifle scientific debate. At first, they employed the tactic of calling us “deniers” trying to paint us in the same light as “holocaust deniers”. They did their best to destroy our careers and scientific reputations. But then they moved it up a notch. They claimed that we had committed “crimes against humanity” and we should be tried as war criminals like in the Nuremberg Trials. They were implying that we should be tried and executed. Didn’t they even know that the backbone of good science is grounded in debate! When the rhetoric expanded to crimes against humanity and war crimes trials, it sent a certain chill in the air. There was a sudden lull, a dearth, of articles against this unsupported theory. I was dismayed. I decided I would not go quiet into the night and be bullied into submission. So I wrote the following article and sent it off to a newsletter called Paradigms and Demographics where it was published on 6 March 2009. The Sun has Gone Quiet

Research Conclusions

The Great Winter is Coming - Great Ice Ages are very rare events (3 in the last 500 million years). When viewed from geological time, the Earth presently resides in the middle of a Great Pleistocene Ice Age, a major extinction boundary. The current Ice Age began 1.7 million years ago and will continue for another million years or so. During an Ice Age, the Earth experiences a string of Global Cooling Events (GCE) triggered by nearby (<2,000 light year distant) supernovae. Ice core data implies GCE occur approximately every 1,000-1,500 years. During these events, very high energy galactic cosmic rays from supernova events produce short intense periods of radiation (days/weeks) at the planet's surface followed by long, less intense periods of radiation (stretching hundreds of years) in the Earth's atmosphere.

Once the Earth passes out of this Great Ice Age, it will experience a long period of calm in which life will flourish. This calm will last approximately 80 million years until the Earth enters another extinction boundary. At that time, the passage of the solar system through a Milky Way spiral arm will dislodge a large number of comets from their orbit in the Oort Cloud. A collision of one or more comet fragments with Earth will then produce another Great Mass Extinction.
