Silverpit Crater

Mainstream has been consistent in their opposition to the idea the silverpit crater in the North Sea was the result of a space rock. They  considered it a geological anomaly. New evidence has now come in and resurrected the initial analysis. It was formed by a small asteroid, or comet. See https://phys.org/news/2025-09-scientists-proof-asteroid-north-sea.html … Usdein Nicholas, and his team, used seismic imaging and microscopic analysis as well as a numerical model to provide strong evidence that Silverpit is an impact crater – see https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-63985-z …. Silverpit was discovered in 2002, although 3 km in diameter it is surrounded by a 20 km wide zone of circular faults. Alternative theories argued the crater was caused by salt moving deep below the crater floor – or the collapse of the sea bed as a result of tectonic activity. Modern techniques have combined to render the old school geologists wrong to not accept the initial recognition. Why do mainstream find it difficult to accept the idea of space rocks crashing on to the surface of the earth? One reason might be that it is thought  the impact may have generated a tsunami wave 100 feet high. They might have had to re-evaluate some geology in accepting that such a thing might have happened. Such a tsunami wave would have left its signature in the rocks on the land – assuming the North Sea was in existence back then. ,
