Cosmic Summit veteran Chris Cottrell will be joined on stage this year by Antonio Zamora as they debate the origins and aging of the enigmatic Carolina Bays. The elliptical depressions that litter the eastern seaboard of the United States, including our very own North Carolina, have engendered decades long debate concerning their origin and formation. Though both speakers oppose  the mainstream academic belief in a prosaic origin in favor of a cosmic formation, Chris Cottrell’s own research hints at a much older age for the Carolina Bays, while Antonio Zamora argues for a Younger Dryas Boundary age. Join us for this intelligent & respectful point and counter-point as we uncover further truths of our planet’s cosmic-battered past.
