Pretend, for a moment, that you’re a massive scientific anomaly. A mystery even. One that has been able to relax, unencumbered by the responsibility of providing answers for the scientific community at large for the better part of the last literal million years. Just existing, minding your own business, maybe aware that people are looking for you but on the whole unbothered by it, content in your non-discovery, potentially even relishing in it.
Then imagine that one day you hear whisperings that a team of scientists is planning to drill deeper into the lava bed you’ve ensconced yourself beneath in an attempt to blow your cover wide open and reveal your location to the entire planet. I don’t know about you, but I’d be pretty pissed.in the earth that scientists believe they’ve found buried under a volcanic field in southeastern Laos, according to a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The crater was a result of a “monster space rock” that “struck the Earth hard and fast” and apparently scattered its debris across 10% of the earth’s surface. I don’t know about you, but it kind of feels like if something comfortable with making that grand of an entrance wanted to be found it would have no problem letting us know. Poking around for centuries just feels kind of rude.
Besides the intrusiveness of the search, there’s also been a lot of commentary regarding the crater’s size, which is allegedly over a mile wide 300 feet deep. Further corroborating the evidence the crater was probably just hoping to wait out the lifespan of the earth in peace, Australian planetary scientist Aaron Cavosie noted, “That’s a very difficult size hole to make go away.” . My takeaway from Cavoise’s statement is, if the crater wanted to be found, it would be.
I mean, I’m all for the pursuit of scientific discovery which I guess is important, but I do wonder if stripping the agency away from this massive hole in the ground is what’s best. Sure, it dropped some hints in the form of tektites and proximal ejecta , but dropping hints doesn’t necessarily equal an invitation discovery is all I’m saying.

Alcoholic’s Plan For Turning Life Around Doesn’t Involve Getting SoberSAVANNAH, GA—Realizing something needed to change before it was too late, local alcoholic Darren Weller laid out a plan for turning his life around Monday that had absolutely nothing to do with getting sober. “Today’s the day that I finally clean up my act and start taking the steps I need to better myself,” said the visibly intoxicated Weller to his fellow bar patrons, outlining a series of dramatic steps aimed at improving his physical and mental health that will in no way interfere with his crippling addiction to alcohol. “No more excuses. It’s time I went back to school and finished my degree. No more pizza and beer every night. I’ll probably live five more years just by having salad and beer. Who knows, I might even start getting a run in every night before I hit the bars. Yeah, I really feel like this is a new beginning.” At press time, Weller had passed out on his bar stool, already making good on his plan to get to sleep at a more reasonable hour.
