Now, the other question that's raised that's worthy of discussion is that in order to melt that ice, you have to have heat energy. And we won't have time to get into it today, but in the early 70s, geologists were looking at this and climatologists.

There was a group, there was two conferences held, one in 73 and I think one in 75, when after 20-some years of radiocarbon dating, it became apparent that the formation and disappearance of those ice sheets was way faster than anybody had imagined. Like, you know, there were forests apparently growing around Hudson Bay 40,000 years ago.

Well, the assumptions before that was that the Great Ice Sheet was at least 100,000 years old. Well, then it took tens of thousands of years to form, more tens of thousands of years to disappear. Well, if there's forests growing under where the center of the ice sheet is 35,000, 40,000 years ago... They had to rethink all the timelines.

Now, the problem was is they were using glacial recession rates that were extrapolated from the melting of the ice of the Little Ice Age, from the 1800s and so on. Well, now you're talking about tens of thousands of years. Well, now it suddenly became apparent that the disappearance of the ice was way quicker than anybody had imagined.

So it, this created a paradox and it was called the energy paradox. Where the hell did the energy come from? And again, I've done a whole, whole presentation on this. I don't think I've given it to, to, uh, Ryan. Maybe I did, but so basically what they realized was, well, Where is the most heat energy available on planet earth today? Well, sub-Saharan Africa might be a candidate.

Tropical oceans would be a candidate. So what would happen if we move the entire mass of ice that you see there to a tropical ocean? It's going to melt very quickly. It's going to melt quick, but at least three times longer than the ice it took for the ice to actually melt. That was the paradox. Then at the end of the 73 conference, they scheduled another one. I think it was 75. They went back.

And at the end of that one, they said, there's an error in the data somewhere. So we'll put this on the shelf and get back to it. And to my knowledge, no one's really gotten back to it. to solve that question. So what's the answer? Well, I think that the two possibilities, impact, hypervelocity impact, and some type of a solar event. However, I still, I'm going to lean towards the impact. And why?

Because if you chart the drumlin swarms under the ice sheet, what you see is that there are epicenters of melting. Like we can go up to the Nechaco Plateau, which is Prince George, British Columbia. That was an epicenter of melting. And we can follow the paths of that meltwater, which I've done now, through all of these north-south trending river valleys, and they all converge on the same area.
