A Scientific Analysis of Plato’s Atlantis

The Science: An understanding of the frequency of major bolide strikes is only just emerging. Within that universe of discourse, however, there is little or no controversy. Threat objects are quite numerous, and once in a while they strike Earth.

The Liberal Arts: This non-controversial subject in science has not yet been taken up by classicists, most of whom are far too narrowly educated to connect Plato’s Atlantis to the true nature of the events therein described. The institutions they work for are far too heavily invested in its treatment as a fictional allegory to entertain any question as to its historicity. Connecting Plato’s account to actual places and events would upend much of their published narrative and established authority on this and other classics from antiquity over which they preside.

The Fix: Bypass conventional wisdom, ignore the endlessly derivative Hollywood stereotypes and cut to the chase. Proceed from the source directly to the science of Plato’s Atlantis.
