Why does science resist its own discoveries?

In this episode of The Cosmic Tusk, George Howard and James Powell explore what happens when new evidence challenges established belief. From the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis to the long battles over plate tectonics and lunar craters, Powell reveals the repeating pattern behind every scientific revolution…first denial, then debate, and finally acceptance.

They examine:

• The Younger Dryas impact evidence and its critics

• How peer review can suppress discovery

• Historical parallels (from Wegener to the Alvarez impact)

• The psychology of scientific pride and consensus

• Why truth eventually prevails

A must-watch for anyone who cares about open inquiry, scientific integrity, and the courage to follow the data wherever it leads.
