Sometimes the best ideas-
those scab lands, those channeled scab lands in the Midwest.
His theory on it is that there was like
a billion quadrillion tons of water flowing through that or something, because there was like the Laurentide ice sheet that was above that, that somehow like melted instantaneously upon impact of some sort of comet or a bunch of comets, melted it and then this quadrillions of tons of water started flowing through and carving out those channeled scablands.
And if you look at it and you zoom out and you think about that, it does look like that, right?
Here's like a closeup version.
Yeah.
And if you really zoom out, like a lot of the, a lot of the land in that part of the country.
And even if you want to go into like, like Southern California area, it looks like it's the bottom of the ocean, like a bottom, like an ocean floor, you know?
There's definitely something to it.
And he also talks about this isostatic rebound effect that would have happened.
Like if the ice sheets would have melted because there's weight that they put on each end of the earth, right?
And that somehow keeps us in some sort of rotation or keeps us balanced somehow.
And if all that ice melts, all of a sudden the earth's crust will expand, right?
and create this isostatic rebound.
Are you familiar with that?
Yeah, didn't Randall go to the Azores and explore it?
Yeah, you have to be interdisciplinary, kind of have your, you know, a hand and a little, touch a little bit of all of it, right?
To have a real like broad picture of what's going on.
Yeah, totally.
