DISTANT ENERGY WAVE. “Energy release results in intense fracturing and deformation at the target site, generating seismic waves traveling the whole Earth.” https://lnkd.in/eqAYpQg2 View in LinkedIn

CATASTROPHIC IMPACT. “The impact and crater formation occur instantaneously, with excavation of the crust down to ~25 km depths in fractions of a second and lower crust uplift and crater formation in the next few hundred seconds.” https://lnkd.in/eqAYpQg2 View in LinkedIn

WELL CHARACTERIZED. “The Yucatan carbonate platform is an ideal place to have the crater, tectonically stable with no volcanic activity, having formed by slow deposition of carbonate sediments. These characteristics permit high resolution imagery of the crater underground structure with unprecedented detail.” https://lnkd.in/eqAYpQg2 View in LinkedIn

MASSIVE CRATER. “The crater is about ~200 km in rim diameter, half on-land and half off-shore with geometric center at Chicxulub Puerto, making it possible to use land, marine and aerial geophysical methods.” https://lnkd.in/eqAYpQg2 View in LinkedIn

THE NATURE OF REALITY. “The totality of perception, including every memory, is notoriously unreliable and misleading. How then, should one try to comprehend the fundamental nature of consciousness? Moreover, is the external world our senses are seemingly reporting to us about really “out there?” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-03633-1_14 View in LinkedIn

ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY. “The buried structure was initially identified from geophysical surveys of the PEMEX oil exploration program in southeastern Mexico. On the surface its influence is marked by the circular ring of cenotes that have formed from differential compaction and fracturing between the impact breccias and surrounding limestone sequences.” https://lnkd.in/eqAYpQg2 View in LinkedIn

BENT LIGHT. “Gravitational lensing occurs when matter deflects/bends the path of light as it travels from a source to the observer.” https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn

CARBONATE DEBRIS. “The crater is buried under ~1.0 km of carbonate sediments in the Yucatan peninsula.” https://lnkd.in/eqAYpQg2 View in LinkedIn

DARK MATTER HALOS. “The spherical collapse model for the formation of individual DM halos.” (DM = dark matter). https://lnkd.in/e6ifiQMn View in LinkedIn

ONE OF THREE. “Chicxulub is one of only three multi-ring craters documented in the terrestrial record and impact has been related to the global environmental/ climatic effects and mass extinction that mark the Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/Pg) boundary.” https://lnkd.in/eqAYpQg2 View in LinkedIn
