    Odds are definitely on the side of something happening to the Pacific considering the size, especially if its a shell release scenario. It would be game over for our biosphere if a piece of the shell lands in the pacific and just boils for decades…

    Not to jerk the wheel too far off topic there,and I know you’ve covered this article in the news…but while on the topic of disaster timelines. In the nature article “Supercomputer scours fossil record for Earth’s hidden extinctions” the fourth most powerful supercomputer, Tianhe II , “mines” a dataset of 11,000 fossil species from the 290 million year period known as the Palaeozoic era. Composed of the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Permian epochs. The data pinpoints the rise and fall of species during diversifications and mass extinctions (within the Palaeozoic) to within 26,000 years. A scientist from an independent third party commented that, observations of species diversity at this scale is like going from a system where people who lived in the same century are considered to be contemporaries, to one in a 6-month period are considered to be contemporaries. If you divide 290 million by 26,000, you get a little over 11,000 years…

    Maybe I missed a major point of this deeper look but how can we even take a wild guess at which side of Earth will be facing the sun when the micro nova reoccurs? Shouldn’t it just be random chance what hemisphere is in darkness?

    Interestins. Curious how you can to see Europe and the Western Pacific as the most likely locations. What methodologies could give any indication?

    Hi Ben, don’t know whether you are aware of the Hoba meteorite (in Northern Namibia) – though no crater is evident – strange. Northern Namibia is littered with similar meteorites (some even used as bollards!). I also just stumbled across Aouelloul Crater in Mauritania (both in Africa). Keep up the great work!

    I’m telling ya, if we can prove that Saginaw Bay is indeed a crater from 12,000 years ago, it will make the crater in Chile and the Hiawatha Crater a very interesting topic of discussion! It would explain the megafauna mass extinction in North and South America, and Antonio Zamorra would be doing a jig in his analysis of the Carolina Bays throughout North America. Just sayin’: the pieces are falling together to prove that the sun indeed micronovas every 12,000 years or so. Thank you, Ben, for inching all these seemingly disparate pieces together!

      Saginaw bay is not an impact crater, nothing about it gives any indication it is.

    Never to figure things this way. Give thanks for the open minding Bro.

    Is exactly what I was wondering. Hopefully the methodology will be revealed in a future “Deeper Look…” though I am just catching up now 😉
