Research supports the Younger Dryas Impact hypothesis, suggesting a comet fragment caused significant climatic changes and species extinctions 12,800 years ago through high-pressure, high-temperature airbursts, evidenced by materials like platinum and shocked quartz found across the eastern U.S. Researchers are uncovering more evidence to support the Younger Dryas Impact hypothesis, which suggests that a fragmented [...]
