Well put.

Shoemaker by Levy
by David H. Levy
(pp 60-61)

In 1950 Worlds in Collision was published, a book that became very popular. Its author, Immanuel Velikovsky, inferred from historical facts and mythology that an unlikely series of comet impacts caused some biblical events, like the Egyptian plagues and the parting of the Red Sea. The details of Velikovsky's ideas were so strongly ridiculed that his theme that impacts have indeed affected the Earth, was clouded and lost.

We had a tsunami here the other day; but I didn't hear about it until after it had passed. Oh well... Maybe next vacation!

[Rockingham]

Thanks. I ought to read the book. Gene Shoemaker seems to have been not just a good scientist, but a genuinely good man.

[SunkenCiv]

He was an interesting character, and not least because of the times through which he lived.

well if he has enough documented comments from sources on KNOWN events (halley’s comet, maybe or solar eclipses), backtracking to possible dates when given areas of the earth would be under full solar eclipse is fairly easy. I don’t know what his data and options were but it is not impossible that multiple sources hit up as that being the only plausible date given known events mentioned before and after.

The areas around volcanic eruptions are named for Ashland Oil. ;^)

LOL.

I saw my post and didn't even remember writing it.

Then, I saw that it was from 2006.

15 years later, and I'm still here!
