Uniformitarianism is the foundation of modern geology and much of modern cosmology. Catastrophes pushed to the margins, global disasters are relics of mythology, ancient traditions mainly dismissed as superstition, and the heavens never change.
Deep ice cores are important climate archives. Experts use electrical conductivity measurements to identify acidic layers. Yet comparisons between two of Greenland’s best-studied ice cores reveal significant discrepancies. If the deepest sections of ice cores are disturbed, an obvious question follows—just how secure is the chronology?
Ancient cultures around the globe have remarkably similar traditions of cosmic battles, wandering stars, gods fighting in the heavens, and worlds brought to ruin. The EU Model views the field of comparative mythology as a pragmatic endeavour—it reveals clues to events that may provide cognizance.
Author and independent researcher David Drew shows that the simple story of uniformitarianism that we’ve all been taught—is not so simple after all.
