Searching for Interstellar Meteorites on Earth



An exploration of the promise offered by study of interstellar materials and even interstellar meteorites here on earth. Also an exploration of salvaging shipwrecks at sea and how that relates to recovering meteorites from the ocean floor, and a further exploration of the future of the search for interstellar materials on Mars and beyond.

  1. It's worth noting that Vasa was in the shape it was not due to lack of currents, nor due to the conditions of the Baltic in general, but the very specific conditions of Stockholm harbor. Currents wore away at the outside of the ship and the metal parts of the ship rusted away to a great degree, but the anaerobic conditions of that particular harbor allowed the protected organic materials (like clothes, shoes) shielded from the current to not degrade. Anything exposed to the current would have been degraded due to erosion.

  2. Can you do an episode about the two different YHWH's?

    Nobody seems to be aware that there are two different YHWH's and two different Old Testaments and it's weird…

    The Kuntillet ‘Ajrud inscriptions mention blessings by the names of YHWH of Samaria (Yehowah) and YHWH of Teman (Yahweh).

    Like all ancient Near Eastern gods, these two regional gods must have had central temples.

    This article examines their possible locations and suggests that the combination of the Kuntillet ‘Ajrud inscriptions with the eighth-century prophecies of Amos and Hosea holds the key for identifying these.

    In light of a detailed analysis of Hosea’s and Amos’ prophecies, it is further suggested that YHWH of Samaria was the name of the major God of the Kingdom of Israel and his main temple was located at Bethel, and that YHWH of Teman was the name of the God of the southern desert regions and his temple was located at Beer-sheba.

    Israelite traders who traveled southward probably visited the latter god’s temple, offered him sacrifices, made vows to repay him if they succeed in the expedition, and thus turned him to be their patron god during their travel in the desert region.

    This suggested identification explains why the Judahite cult place of Beer-sheba appears in Amos’ prophecy alongside the Israelite sanctuaries of Bethel, Gilgal, and Dan.

  3. I'm sure you're already busy producing all these videos but I for one wouldn't mind hearing more about your ocean floor archaeology adventures! On a separate channel, perhaps? – Thanks for another great episode!

  4. What I find funny is there is no other life.
    Nothing is showing life yet people want so much that there is lol
    yet we spend billions to prove there is nothing more.
    Copernicus was wrong and so is everything else>
    We are alone lol get over it

  5. It's so refreshing to come to this channel and be treated to a quality video weekly. There is so many trivial arguments over minor issues and so many low quality videos out there that whenever I return here I'm reminded that the internet isn't just a cesspool of trolls, there is actually content to educate and enlighten us. By far the most consistent and worthwhile creator on YouTube, I cannot thank and recommend you enough.
