Catastrophism!

Catastrophes are evident throughout our Solar System and Earth history. Comets and asteroids are usually thought to be the cause, but recent evidence suggests that cosmic plasma plays a crucial role.

99.9% of the universe is plasma (or ionized gas), that can carry electric currents whose forces are a trillion, trillion, trillion times stronger than gravity.

Ancient history features common themes, such as those of creation, destruction and cosmic imagery, such as dragons and thunderbolt-wielding gods. Craters scar many moons and the asteroid belts suggests the remains of a larger body.

The Age of the Dinosaurs ended abruptly. Historic World Ages come and go, and civilizations rise meteorically and fall like stones from the sky.

What made man build megalithic monuments around the world?

But have there been catastrophic events in mankind's more recent past? Does the wrath of the gods in ancient records symbolize earlier catastrophes? Does archaeology show significant disturbances around 2300BC? Does astronomy support catastrophism in only the early development of the Solar System, or much more recently?

Cosmically-induced global catastrophes should be a running theme through the disciplines. Hence, this work is interdisciplinary in its very nature. And if disciplines conflict in their interpretation, does the interpretation of the evidence or the discipline require revision?

Are ancient myths works of fiction, or do they contain details of real historic events and events in the Earth's history?

Have the Earth's features been developed gradually over millions of years purely by the processes we see today, or have catastrophic upheavals played a major part?

Has the Solar System undergone upheavals during historic times and does electricity play a much bigger role in the cosmos than currently thought?

Ancient Egyptian history has formed the basis for the chronologies of most ancient civilisations, but have the Egyptologists got it wrong? Have they falsely inflated it with 'ghost' centuries and rulers, generating corresponding distortions in all the surrounding areas?

By Catastrophism I mean any form of geological speculation which... supposes the operation of forces different in their nature... from those which we at present see in action." Huxley in Sci. Opinion 21 April 1869 (464/1).
