Exploration of Earth's Catastrophic History
Apr 27, 2025
Lecture with Randall Carlson and Joe Rogan
Introduction
Randall Carlson visits Joe Rogan on the podcast.
Randall traveled a long distance despite weather challenges to discuss exciting subjects.
Cave Exploration and Hall's Cave
Plan was to explore Hall's Cave with extinct megafauna remains and Clovis tools.
Younger Dryas black mat layer found in the cave, indicating ancient impacts and fires.
COVID-19 postponed further exploration due to landowner concerns.
Younger Dryas Impact Theory
Theory suggests impacts led to the end of the Ice Age and megafauna extinction.
Randall discusses the timeline: 11,000 to 12,000 years ago.
Ice sheets began to shrink 14,000-15,000 years ago.
Climate interruptions around 12,900 years ago led to a cold spasm.
Meltwater Pulses
Meltwater Pulse 1B occurred 11,600 years ago, causing sea level rise.
Documented rapid ice melting; energy paradox remains unexplained.
Recurring energy input possibly from impacts or solar activity.
Geomythology and Atlantis
Plato's Atlantis story possibly correlates with Younger Dryas events.
Catastrophic events involving fire and water described in myths.
Egyptian priests' records suggest historical disaster knowledge.
Asteroid and Comet Impact Concerns
Numerous near-Earth objects have narrowly missed Earth.
Risk of impacts is real and could have catastrophic consequences.
Current lack of planetary defense measures; private space initiatives emerging.
Catastrophic Floods and Geology
Channeled Scablands in Washington as evidence of past massive floods.
Proposed impact hypothesis could account for rapid water discharge.
Geological features suggest quick formation due to intense water flow.
Educational Initiatives
Randall's commitment to education through hands-on geometry and nature exploration.
New platform, Howtube, supports free speech and educational content.
Plans to develop an alternative educational institute focusing on real-world learning.
Conclusion
Randall's passion for understanding Earth's catastrophic history.
Importance of preparing for potential future catastrophic events.
