The Tunguska event was an enormously powerful explosion that occurred near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia, on June 30, 1908. The blast was equivalent to the US detonation of the Castle Bravo* device, with a yield of 15 megatons.

The explosion knocked over an estimated 80 million trees covering 830 sq miles. It is estimated that the shock wave from the blast would have measured 5.0 on the Richter scale.


*Castle Bravo was the code name given to the first U.S. test of a dry fuel thermonuclear hydrogen bomb device, detonated on March 1, 1954 at Bikini Atoll.

Damn! I wanted to buy some comics from Canadian Board members by sending pennies in a jar of corn syrup.

Populations suffer from a fear of change, for their conditioning assumes a static identity. Challenging ones belief system usually results in insult and aprehension.

There is no such thing as a smart Human being, for it is merely a matter of time before their ideas are updated, changed or eradicated. This tendency to hold on to a belief system, any belief system and sheltering it from new possibly transforming information, is nothing less than intellectual materialism. Dominant World views operate with the same social irrelevancy, they exist as barriers to social and individual growth. Major institutions exist as barriers to personal and social growth for each group perpetuates a closed world view.
