I remember Dan Aykroyd's line in Ghostbusters:
"You have been a participant in the biggest interdimensional cross rip since the Tunguska blast of 1909." I thought that was random shyt from the movie until this older cat I worked with told me about it. Definitely some weird shyt.

Yo Ghostbusters is my favorite movie of all time, the older I get and the more I watch it the more I catch little shyt like that

The movie is based off Dan Aykroyd's real family who were ghost hunters in Canadian I believe. So he wrote the script using real paranormal references like Tobin's Spirit Guide is a take on a real spirit book and shyt like that. On the real, Ghostbusters is a little deeper than just comedy horror.

I seen one theory about Tesla being responsible because he was working on transferring energy via telsa coils. What's hard to understand is he was all the way like in Midwest America and this shyt happened in Russia. but yeah that was a bizarre event in history. Didn't know about it until 3 or so years ago

One of my all time favorite movies. And it was deep. They were low-key dropping some science in that movie. I wish they would have got that third one of before Harold Ramis died :mjcry:

Random that you tagged me on this. I actually met one of the guys who wrote a major theory on this thing, Chris Chyba of SETI, back when I was studying in the field.


I love this Tuskuga because it is such a big thing, and 100% legit...but it happened in the middle of nowhere in old Russia so noone hardly knows about it.

I used to think it was a comet that flew apart in low atmosphere - a comet was a great theory because of the lack of stuff they found, and comets are mostly ice/dust balls anyway. However, they've been finding enough metallic material there in recent years that I think it could have been a low-density asteroid/meteorite. It could still go either way.


Regardless, it was some giant ball of something from space that streak against the sky and rubbed up against the atmosphere until the cummulative pressure got too great and it burst into infinite pieces.

If that had gone down over any populated area, we're talking Hiroshima-level disaster or worse. :wow:

I actually met one of the guys who wrote a major theory on this thing, Chris Chyba, back when I was studying biophysics in 1999, and he talked about SETI and took a look at my research project on the theories of clay-based life. (He hadn't done the theory yet when I met him, but was interested in all sorts of crazy space shyt.)
