Kosmographia Episode 11 | Younger Dryas Boundary Catastrophe: Extinction Of Megafauna

Published 30th March 2020

Mr Carlson transitions into the first stages of the many-tiered discussions that will follow regarding the period that Plato pegged long ago as the time when the fabled Atlantis was destroyed – what scientists now refer to as the Younger-Dryas Boundary or Pleistocene/Holocene transition, when many sudden shifts to life and the planet are documented. He then displays some of the monstrous bestiary that lived through the Pleistocene Ice Age cycles, but all of these mega-mammal or "megafauna" species went extinct, along with many others, and the Clovis culture too, 11-13 thousand years ago.

Kosmographia Episode 12 | Younger Dryas Boundary Extinction: Ice, Humans, Catastrophic Floods

Published 30th March 2020

Mr Carlson and crew continue to introduce the conditions and difficulties for life and the planet during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition - popularly referred to as the Younger-Dryas Boundary. They continue to evaluate the extinction of the mega-mammals at the Younger-Dryas Boundary, bringing in 19th century scientific journal articles that spell out the findings and evaluations in direct terms – making it clear that the way the animals were killed and the sheer quantity of the remains puts the question beyond the possibility of human hunters and into the broad realm of global catastrophe.

Kosmographia Episode 13 | Younger Dryas Boundary Extinction: Catastrophic Extinctions

Published 31st March 2020

RC talks about Taurids, more on the Younger Dryas Boundary (YDB) megafauna extinction, and the "Great 5" previous massive events, then some of the effects on civilization if another similar event happened today. We've been charmed with the Holocene's extended warm and stable climate, but we've still been through shifts that have stressed and modified our advancements. RC also shares graphs showing the sudden decline of the Clovis Culture. RC defines the Quaternary period and shows some of the taphonomic circumstances in which mammoth and other megafauna remains have been found, observing that they all were preserved due to sudden and catastrophic burial, as described vividly and dramatically by anthropologist/explorer Frank C. Hibben.

Brothers Of The Serpent

Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe

Published 30th March 2020

A discussion with Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe about panspermia and the cosmic origins of life, and how evidence has been building for decades that space itself may contain a "micro-biome" consisting of vast numbers of single-cell life forms and viruses, and that these are constantly raining down upon the earth, changing and affecting life here on the planet, and possibly contributing to evolutionary changes throughout the history of life on earth.

We also talk about how this cosmic distribution of life in the universe may have caused the sudden onset of plagues and sicknesses throughout history, and that it may be the origin of the current viral crisis the world is facing in the form of COVID19.

British Police Helicopters Encounter UFOs & Film Them

Published 23rd March 2020

Military footage of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) is widely known to have come from the US, Chile and Mexico. But what you may not know is British military helicopters encountered — and filmed — anomalous objects twice over the span of a decade. It occurred in the same general patch of sky above the waters of the unforgiving Bristol Channel.

Buried in the UK Ministry of Defence's declassified UFO files is a reference to the first of the sightings, in 2008. The crew reported it as "flying saucer shaped," and the police department backed up their account, calling them "very experienced" observers.

Eight years later, in 2016, British NPAS disclosed a second encounter above the channel and declassified 8 minutes of footage. They said the spherical object only was visible on infrared, and doubted it could've been a balloon because it was flying into the wind approximately 1,000 feet above the water. Crew also doubted it was a drone, saying their helicopter couldn't keep up with it.

Mexican Air Force: ‘We Are Not Alone’

Published 28th March 2020

On March 5, 2004, the Mexican Secretariat of Defense filmed 11 unidentified objects on its FLIR (forward looking infrared). The crew reported the UFOs at an altitude near that of their plane, 11,500 feet, and later told news reporters it felt as if they were surrounded. "I believe they could feel we were pursuing them," the plane's captain later said, according to an Associated Press article.

But, were the objects really anomalous? Or were they a trick of the eye from distant oil wells showing up on infrared? And what about the odd radar returns that prompted the crew to claim "we are not alone"? We will discuss these questions in today's episode.

New Thinking Allowed

Jason Reza Jorjani PhD | The Breakaway Civilization

Published 31st March 2020

Jason Reza Jorjani, PhD, is a philosopher and author of Prometheus and Atlas, World State of Emergency, Lovers of Sophia, Novel Folklore: The Blind Owl of Sadegh Hedayat, and Iranian Leviathan: A Monumental History of Mithra's Abode.

Here he explores the hypothesis that many UFO sightings can be attributed to a non-governmental, human organization. He proposes that this organization developed extraordinary technology in the late nineteenth century, that it was associated with German nationalists, and that it received financial support from Americans. After WWII, he speculates that this network incorporated newer technologies that had been developed by the Nazi regime. He compares this network to the Spectre organization in Ian Fleming's James Bond novels.

Warped Space-Time To Help WFIRST Find Exoplanets

Published 31st March 2020



NASA's Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) will search for planets outside our solar system toward the center of our Milky Way galaxy, where most stars are. Studying the properties of exoplanet worlds will help us understand what planetary systems throughout the galaxy are like and how planets form and evolve.

Combining WFIRST's findings with results from NASA's Kepler and Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) missions will complete the first planet census that is sensitive to a wide range of planet masses and orbits, bringing us a step closer to discovering habitable Earth-like worlds beyond our own.

Hubble Finds Evidence Of Mid-Sized Black Hole

Published 31st March 2020



Astronomers have found the best evidence for a black hole of an elusive class known as “intermediate-mass,” which betrayed its existence by tearing apart a wayward star that passed too close.

This exciting discovery opens the door to the possibility of many more lurking undetected in the dark, waiting to be given away by a star passing too close.

What’s On The Other Side Of A Black Hole?

Published 31st March 2020

Normal maps are useless inside black holes. At the event horizon - the ultimate point of no return as you approach a black hole - time and space themselves change their character. We need new coordinate systems to trace paths into the black hole interior. But the maps we draw using those coordinates reveal something unexpected - they don’t simply end inside the black hole, but continue beyond. In these maps, black holes become wormholes, and new universes lie on the other side.

February 2020 : Earth Changes Summary

Published 6th March 2020

The winter remained harsh in the northern hemisphere throughout February with even more cold and snowfall records broken.

70 villages in southeastern Turkey were buried under 20 feet of snow after a powerful blizzard. Residents were left without power and water as they also struggled to dig their way out. Furthermore, two avalanches killed 41 in the eastern part of the country, while a 5.7 magnitude earthquake killed 8 people in the southeast... That's quite a lot of extreme events in a single region.

Haji Omaran, a town on the mountainous Iraq-Iran border, also experienced exceptionally heavy snowfall, with roads blocked and cars buried in the snow. Saudi Arabia also got its share of unusual cold weather (for the desert!) as the temperature dropped to -5°C.

Last but not least, Taiwan's highest peak of Yushan and nearby counties were hit by the heaviest snowfall in two decades, whilst Himachal Pradesh's capital received the highest snowfall in eight years.

Heavy rain continued breaking records around the globe: 2 feet of rain in 24 hours in Fiordland, New Zealand; 5 dead and hundred displaced in Kenya; a month's worth of rain in 3 hours in São Paulo, Brazil; rainfall 400% above normal in Mississippi; hundreds evacuated in Northern Argentina due to widespread flooding, while western Washington got hit by historic flooding and landslides... and that's just to mention some of the most significant events.

At least seven people were killed across Europe by Storm Ciara, heavy rain and strong winds shut down transport and left hundreds of thousands without power. And storm Dennis left its mark in the UK, dumping a month's worth of rain in 48 hours with 91mph winds.

Meteor fireballs also gave quite a show this month, sightings on the rise... at least for now.

More Evidence That Pluto Might Have A Subsurface Ocean

Published 2nd April 2020



When NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft sailed past Pluto in 2015, it captured an image of the dwarf planet’s heart-shaped geography. But while it was there, New Horizons also caught a glimpse of Pluto’s dark side.

An image of the back of the dwarf planet shows black ripples of rock exactly opposite Sputnik Planitia, the basin that makes up the left lobe of Pluto’s heart. Now, researchers report that those ripples could be evidence that Pluto has a 93-mile-thick ocean sandwiched between its crust and its core. The findings were presented the virtual Lunar and Planetary Science Conference.
