INTERDOC_19 — Cosmic Impact, Mythology, and Cultural Memory

[KEY FINDING] The Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis (YDIH) — first proposed by Richard Firestone, Allen West, and Simon Warwick-Smith (2006–2007) — argues that a cosmic impact or airburst event ~12,800 BP triggered the You

ZB_2_11 — Biological Electricity and Bioelectricity

Electricity is fundamental to life — every living cell maintains a transmembrane potential (Vmem, typically −40 to −90 mV in animal cells) created by ion channels and pumps that selectively move Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, and Cl⁻ ac
