- ... an asteroid five miles across blasted through the Earth's crust, and threw up molten rock, ash, and dust. Adding to the support to this theory is the discovery of a layer of iridium in New Zealand, Denmark, and Italy. This layer became known as the iridium anomaly.

At the very least, we will have definitive proof or denial of black holes, but we may find ...
