An Analysis of the Hopewell Airburst Event Hypothesis with Dr. Shane Miller - Ep 98
Dr. Shane Miller is back on the podcast to talk about a new paper that just came out. The Hopewell airbust event, published about in Nature Scientific Reports, is believed to be a series of near-Earth comets that are hypothesized to have had impacts on cultures living around 1600 years ago (252-383 CE). We dive into this paper and discuss its argument, the pitfalls/questions we have about the paper and where we want to see the research go in the future.
