Another impactful impact in Earth's history - 3.26 BYA

More surprises about the specialness of Earth.

I’m sure most of you know that as a baby grows there are certain stages that open windows of learning opportunity, and if those “windows” are blocked or bypassed for any reason it has life long results, in areas of vision and speech and more.

I imagine it’s true of all living organism and in a way it’s true for Earth also. Case in point, the latest on early Earth.

WASHINGTON, Oct 21 (Reuters) - The space rock that slammed into Earth 66 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous Period caused a global calamity that doomed the dinosaurs and many other life forms. But that was far from the largest meteorite to strike our planet.

One up to 200 times bigger landed 3.26 billion years ago, triggering worldwide destruction at an even greater scale. But, as new research shows, that disaster actually may have been beneficial for the early evolution of life by serving as “a giant fertilizer bomb” for the bacteria and other single-celled organisms called archaea that held dominion at the time, providing access to the key nutrients phosphorous and iron. …

Guess that’s supposed to be funny.

The easy version,

“Hello and welcome! My name is Anton and in this video, we will talk about a giant impact 3.2 billion years ago that turned Earth into hell, but life still survived”
