YD Impact Theory endorsed by AI

Go to SciSpace and ask it this question: How widely accepted is the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis?
SciSpace replies ..

The Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis (YDIH) has faced initial skepticism but is gaining acceptance due to mounting evidence. Initially rejected by some scientists, the YDIH suggests a comet impact around 12,850 years ago triggered the Younger Dryas cooling period and influenced megafaunal extinctions and cultural shifts [1]. This theory aligns with the abrupt cooling in North America and Europe during the Younger Dryas, disrupting the previous warm climate [2]. While some dispute the presence of impact-related materials like nanodiamonds, evidence from sediments across continents supports the YDIH, indicating a continent-wide catastrophic event at the Bolling-Allerod/Younger Dryas boundary [3]. The YDIH's growing body of evidence is gradually shifting scientific consensus towards acceptance of this cosmic explanation for the Younger Dryas climatic reversal.

Well, damn.

Change in the science community takes time. IOW, the younger generation will accept new stuff, but that new stuff cannot become officially accepted until the old farts folks retire or die.

Max Planck voiced exactly the same opinion a long time ago ...

"The more things change, the more they stay the same."
