Perhaps (and I don't wish to generate sarcastic replies here), it would be better if some kind of (...and I don't know how to properly describe what I mean, but here goes) 'openminded, reverse thinking' should be taking place. Elsewhere on the internet people are beginning to understand the value of 'looking back', and to be prepared to 'look back' has helped many fields of science to look towaby Finchy - General Discussion
Frank... I don't mind a bit of hardball - its harmless fun, and I agree totally with your comments. My previous post was put there just to remind others that rushing to an instant judgement over something so 'new' is not a healthy way to proceed, hence my examples of similar, well known misjudgements that have been made in the past. At the beginning of the impact and exit event book the author coby Finchy - General Discussion
...Just 'for the record', the comments of Dave, mrcondron, szalkowski etc. are embarrassingly repetitive. For those of you who have dropped by... None of the above have read the hypothesis at all, yet feel compelled to say conclusively that it is incorrect! THIS is why science has such a bad reputation today. And yesterday. And yesteryears. Science continues to move forward despite theby Finchy - General Discussion
QuoteDave From what I've seen, they are not coherent at all. Dave - there are over 200 pages in the book covering the impact and exit event hypothesis, many of which contain interesting supporting images. From what you have said it appears that you are basing your "From what I have seen" comments on the content of the website (which has clearly been set up to generate sales) - and thaby Finchy - General Discussion
I have also explored some of the claims made within the impact and exit event - especially the potential for shockwaves passing through earth. IMO the geography of earth appears to indicate that a 'force' of some kind did propogate across the northern hemisphere towards the himalayas. I have just spent a bit of time putting some images on photobucket: http://s829.photobucket.com/albums/zz214/fiby Finchy - General Discussion
Quotetomdisco Anything large and/or fast enough to penetrate all the way through a rocky body planet such as Earth would do a lot more than make dinosaurs extinct. It could literally split and pulverize the planet. I'm not aware of any evidence pointing towards the incredible amount of damage that would result from such an impact. For that matter, I can not imagine any object hard enough to sby Finchy - General Discussion
QuoteDave This is just another trick from those climate change scientists. It's all part of the same conspiracy. Hey Dave - I don't see any conspiracy here, just a lot of people trying to further our knowledge of the history of our planet. Having said that, we have been fed the 'asteroid killed the dinosaurs' line for some time now without anything new appearing that supports the theory. Howeveby Finchy - General Discussion
