🌍 The Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis: Earth’s Forgotten Cataclysm

with George Howard | The Curious Dimension Podcast

In this episode of The Curious Dimension Podcast, host Matt sits down with George Howard, one of the original proponents of the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis and co-author of the influential 2007 paper that presented physical evidence for a massive cosmic impact roughly 12,800 years ago.

George shares his unconventional path into impact research—beginning with his work in the United States Senate and his early encounters with the mysterious Carolina Bays. Those encounters ultimately led him to help found Cosmic Tusk and co-direct the Cosmic Research Group, where independent researchers collaborate on evidence of ancient cosmic events.

Together, Matt and George explore how a catastrophic impact may have reshaped Earth’s climate, contributed to widespread megafaunal extinctions, and potentially reset early human civilizations. The conversation dives deep into the controversial “black mat” layer, academic resistance to paradigm-shifting ideas, and the psychological and institutional barriers that often confront new scientific hypotheses.

The discussion then expands into cutting-edge discoveries beneath the Pyramids of Egypt, where advanced tomography and imaging technologies are revealing previously unknown subsurface structures—raising profound questions about lost knowledge, ancient engineering, and the future of archaeological discovery.

This episode highlights the importance of open-minded inquiry, independent research, and data-driven exploration as we work to better understand Earth’s deep past—and humanity’s place within it.
