What happens when cosmic impacts don't just hit Earth, but trigger cascading effects across the entire solar system? He walks through a chain of evidence that connects extinction events, volcanism, and solar instability in ways most people never consider. If a large comet breaks apart in the inner solar... system, fragments don't just disappear. Some hit Earth. Some might hit the sun. And if multiple impacts strike the sun in close succession, could that destabilize solar output itself? Could it amplify solar storms in ways that feed back into Earth's climate and biosphere? This isn't speculation for its own sake. It's a logical extension of what we already know about cosmic forcing mechanisms. Impacts trigger volcanism. Impacts correlate with extinction events. The question he's raising is whether the sun, as a dynamic plasma body, could respond to repeated cometary incursions with heightened activity. If so, then cosmic events aren't isolated incidents. They're part of a feedback loop that ties together planetary geology, solar physics, and the survival of life on Earth.show more

There was more than one extinction level event or T Rex would thaw out with the mammoths. But it's just mammals from 12k years ago or so. Does anyone have any idea when the dinosaurs actually became extinct? Main stream estimates are flawed. E.g. The London hammer is not 400m yo.

MUST-SEE (minute 3) - Randall Carlson discusses "impact theory" and how impacts on THE SUN can generate "massive solar responses" - meaning huge ejections, solar flares, due to cometary masses impacting the sun. Then can cause tremendous effects to Earth such as sudden solar waves / heat waves which could cause catastrophic and rapid melting of ice shelves or other events. From our Decentralize TV interview. This is a fascinating clip. I call it the "solar splash effect."

The last 2.5 days of solar activity have been wild! A 1.1 X-Flare and about a dozen M-flares, charging the Earth with more plasma whilst plasma launched from the Sun itself will directly impact Earth in 24-48 hours... The chance of a BIG solar storm launching towards Earth now is decreasing, but if a big flare pops off from the limb we could have a significant radiation storm hit us in <1 hour.

Elon Musk. People just don't understand that solar is everything. “People just don't understand that solar is everything. Compared to the sun, all other energy sources are like cavemen throwing some twigs into a fire. The sun is over 99.8% of all mass in the solar system. Jupiter is around 0.1% of the mass. So, even if you burnt Jupiter, the energy produced by the sun would still round up to 100%. And then if you teleported three more Jupiters into our solar system and burnt them too, the sun still rounds up to 100% of energy.” From: Discussion with Peter Diamandis and Dave Blundin, January 6, 2026

The Younger Dryas was not a single event. Randall Carlson argues it was bookended by two separate catastrophes - one at its onset approximately 12,800 years ago, where the proxy evidence for a cosmic impact is now substantial, and one at its termination approximately 11,700 years ago, where the picture is less clear. For the end of the Younger Dryas, Randall finds Robert Schoch's solar event hypothesis genuinely compelling. The proxy evidence for a cosmic impact at the termination is not as strong as at the onset, which leaves room for a different mechanism. What has emerged from solar observing satellites deployed in recent decades is a more dynamic and variable sun than previously modelled - one capable of producing significant coronal mass ejections and solar storms. Critically, there appears to be a correlation between cometary material falling into the sun and reactive events in the chromosphere that translate into exactly those kinds of solar outbursts. If a fragmenting comet was responsible for the onset of the Younger Dryas, the debris trail it left behind may have continued interacting with the solar system - and potentially with the sun itself - in ways that contributed to the abrupt warming event that ended it.

Satellites have now captured two separate hypervelocity impacts into the sun. The sun's immense gravitational pull accelerates incoming comet nuclei to extraordinary speeds, and the faster that object is moving at the moment of impact, the more kinetic energy gets released. That's basic physics. But here's where it gets interesting: if the sun is in a quasi-stable state, could there be internal mechanisms that amplify the effects of such an impact? It's not a far-fetched question. We're dealing with plasma dynamics, magnetic field interactions, and energy transfers we're only beginning to understand. The implications for solar behavior and Earth's climate could be significant.

We've got this giant fusion generator in the sky called the Sun, and we just need to tap a little bit of that energy for purposes of human civilization What most people know, but don't realize they know, is that the world is almost entirely solar-powered already. If the Sun wasn't there, we would be a frozen ice ball at 3 degrees Kelvin. The Sun powers the entire system of precipitation; the whole ecosystem is solar-powered I'm confident that solar will beat everything hands down, including natural gas. It must, actually. If it doesn't, we're in deep trouble No, we actually are. You can buy a solar system or you can lease a solar system. Most people choose to lease The thing about solar power is that it doesn't have any feedstock or operational costs. So once it's installed, it's just there. It works for decades; it'll work for probably a century Therefore, the key thing to do is to get the cost of that initial installation low and then get the cost of financing low.

$Elon Musk: We’re heading toward a future where human intelligence becomes a microscopic minority—not just on Earth, but across the entire solar system. Best case? Earth-based intelligence only taps into about one billionth of the Sun’s energy. That’s it. Just a fraction of a fraction. Even the total solar energy reaching Earth is roughly half a billionth of the Sun’s output—and that’s already the majority of what we can access today. Now imagine expanding beyond Earth. The moment intelligence scales into the solar system, the gap explodes. Orders of magnitude more energy. Orders of magnitude more intelligence. What exists on Earth today becomes almost negligible in comparison. We’re not just building smarter systems—we’re entering an era where intelligence itself scales with energy. And the solar system has almost unlimited supply. The real question isn’t if this happens… it’s how humanity fits into a world where it’s no longer the dominant form of intelligence.$

Technically, a comet would be the real danger. There are billions, maybe trillions of objects in the outer solar system. Some of them are very long-period comets that we simply don’t know exist. The comet Shoemaker-Levy, when that hit Jupiter, it made a hole in Jupiter the size of Earth. So if that did hit Earth, it’s game over. Everything’s dead. The probable lifespan of life is just much greater if we’re a multiplanet and ultimately a multistellar civilization.”

Elon Musk: Solar is already the source of the vast majority of Earth's energy. “A lot of people would say, well solar, can that really provide the energy that we need? A lot of people don't perhaps appreciate that solar energy is already the source of the vast majority of Earth's energy. Without solar power, we would be a frozen ice ball at about 3 or 4 degrees above absolute zero. So really, all we're talking about for solar electricity is taking the tiny, tiny bit of energy that humanity needs for electricity, which I emphasize is super tiny compared to the amount of solar energy that hits the Earth. You could generate all the electricity that the United States needs with about a 100 mile by 100 mile grid of solar power. So you just take like a corner of Arizona, and that would be all the energy that the United States needs.” From: / Youtube, December 4, 2011

Elon Musk: Everything is solar power. The rest is noise. “The sun is about 99.8% of the mass of the solar system. Jupiter's about 0.1% and everything else is in the remaining 0.1%, and we are much less than 0.1%. So, if you burnt all of the mass of the solar system, then the total energy produced by the sun would still round up to 100%. If you just burnt Earth, the whole planet, and burnt Jupiter, which is very big and quite challenging to burn, turn Jupiter into a thermonuclear reactor, the sun is 99.8% of the mass of the solar system and everything else is in the miscellaneous category. Basically, no matter what you do, total energy produced in our solar system rounds up to 100% from the sun. You could even throw another Jupiter in, so we're going to snag a Jupiter from somewhere else, you could teleport two more Jupiters into our solar system, burn them, and the sun would still round up to 100%. As long as you're at 99.6%, you're still rounding up to 100%. Maybe that gives some perspective of why solar is really the thing that matters. And, as soon as you start thinking about things at a grander scale, like Kardashev Scale 2 civilizations, it becomes very, very obvious. I'm not saying anything that's new, by the way. Anyone who studies physics has known this for a very long time. In fact, Kardashev, a Russian physicist who came up with this idea, I think, in the 1960s, just as a way to classify civilizations, where Kardashev Scale 1 would be, you've harnessed most of the energy of the planet, Kardashev Scale 2, you've harnessed most of the energy of your sun, Kardashev 3, you've harnessed most of the energy of a galaxy. Now we're only about 1% or a few percent of Kardashev Scale 1 right now, optimistically. But as soon as you go to Kardashev Scale 2, where you're talking about the power of the sun, then you're really just saying everything is solar power and the rest is in the noise. Like, the sun produces about a billion times, or call it well over a billion times more energy than everything on Earth combined.” All-In Podcast, October 31, 2025

What we see is a black circle appearing out of nowhere and moving across the face of the sun. The point being, a solar eclipse is not what they taught you in school. Nobody knows exactly what it is, but without a doubt, it's not the moon blocking out the sun.

We've never seen this part of the Sun before! ☀️ 👀 The European Space Agency /NASA Solar Orbiter spacecraft has revealed the first-ever images of the Sun’s polar regions, previously hidden parts of the Sun newly visible thanks to the spacecraft’s uniquely “tilted” orbit. The new images showcase a surprisingly splotchy mix of magnetic fields at the Sun’s poles. It’s a sign that our Sun is in its most chaotic phase, right in the middle of “flipping” its entire magnetic field upside down. 🔃 With its new vantage point, Solar Orbiter will be the first spacecraft to watch this flipping process happen at the Sun’s poles. The data will give new insight into the forces driving solar eruptions that affect Earth. NASA’s Illuminate: Out-of-this-world images shining light on our Sun and solar system. #NASAsIlluminate #NASA #sun #space #science

Sun vs. comet! ☀️⚔️☄️ In October 2025, comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6) was passing by the Sun when our star launched a counterattack — a blast of solar particles that ripped the comet’s tail in half! NASA’s PUNCH mission (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere) captured the action from Earth orbit, imaging comet Lemmon every 4 to 8 minutes over three months. PUNCH’s data make up one of the longest and most detailed records ever captured of a comet interacting with the Sun. Check it out! 👀 NASA’s Illuminate: Out-of-this-world images shining light on our Sun and solar system. #NASAsIlluminate #NASA #sun #space #science

Billy Carson: "Something massive moved through our solar system & rearranged the planets - It's written about in ancient texts" He reveals the mind blowing match between ancient texts and our solar system's chaotic formation. Something huge moved through our solar system millions of years ago, capturing its own orbit around the sun. Saturn and Neptune switched locations due to gravitational forces. Uranus was flipped on its side, now orbiting north-south instead of east-west, as if it got tugged hard enough to turn sideways. This never stopped. It passed way beyond Pluto and created its own path. Modern astrophysicists and astronomers describe this exact process, and it's detailed in ancient texts about the creation of our solar system and Earth itself. It pushed Mercury closer to the sun, then Venus, placing us in the third spot. Mars was once a habitable moon of the larger planet Tiamat.
