  Why is that sufficient grounds to be ruled out? All it would suggest is that our history is not in accordance with reality if it were true.

    If you can’t rule something out because it goes against everything else we know, then you can’t rule anything out, ever, for any reason. If you don’t respect consistency and prior probability, then causality itself breaks down, and I’m wondering how exactly do you feed yourself and cross streets safely. Unless you know perfectly well how reasoning works and you just don’t apply that when you comment on science articles.

      It doesn't go against everything else we know, it goes against whatever narrative is spun for everything we know. I know how to cross the street safely because I have first hand experience with it. Nobody living has first-hand experience with history.

  Thanks for that connection. Quite interesting! > In some Hindu texts, Agneya is considered the most powerful form of "holy energy" ever to have been created. The "Agneya Astra" is believed to have been the most powerful of the ancient nuclear energies and was often invoked by the most elite of Gods to ensure the victory of good forces. Hindu texts associate the Agneya Astra as a near infinite energy source with the power, brilliance, heat, and light exceeding those of a billion trillion Suns.
