Titolo: Presunto impatto meteorico intorno al 540 dc

La storia è grosso modo semplice.
Intorno al 540 le cronache, soprattutto quelle dei monaci
irlandesi come molte leggende risalenti  quel periodo, parlano di un
colossale
disastro naturale e del fatto che le giornate durassero molto poco, in un
particolare codice di cui mi sfugge il nome si parla di giornate di 4 ore di
sole.
Come prova tangibile abbiamo che gli anelli di crescita delle querce
irlandesi in quel dato periodo sono praticamente inesistenti e che, sempre
in quel periodo, molte cronache parlano di un lungo periodo di freddo.

Myth is not something that a scientist expects to have to deal with at
a professional level. Thus it was a surprise to me when, in attempting
to better understand a global environental event in the time-window AD
536-545, I discovered that several bodies of mythology seemed to focus
directly onto this time window. The background story goes as follows.
In the Irish oak tree-ring chronology there is a strong suggestion of
a catastrophic environmental downturn - with trees not just stressed,
but some actually damaged - in the years around AD 540. Subsequently
it transpired that other tree-ring chronologies from around the world
also showed effects at the same time; hence the Irish oaks were merely
showing the local aspects of a global phenomenon. History supplied
information of the plague of Justinian starting in the early 540s and
plague arriving in Ireland in the mid-540s. So, from a scientific
viewpoint a dramatic environmental downturn could be implicated in
both widespread famines and the outbreak of a major plague. It is then
the duty of the scientist to attempt to understand the underlying
physical cause of the environmental downturn; what physical mechanism
could produce this catastrophic environmental outcome? Volcano or
comet? This paper will allow the opportunity to show how mythology,
and some otherwise disregarded history, seems to point best in the
direction of the comet scenario. Some of the stories even come with
traditional dates which focus inside the time window specified as AD
536-545 by the tree-ring chronologies. The logic seems clear. If the
myth does contain a core of truth then it beholds us to take a fresh
look at the mythology. If it contains a core of truth then it wasn't
all 'made up'
