The iNtrOduCtiOn…… « It is considered a catastrophe. « the tunguska explosion occurred on the morning of June 30, 1908 at 7:17 A.M. « It occurred near Stony Tunguska River Siberia, Russia « People think of it as a comet or meteor that came through the atmosphere and made a big explosion that scared people to death

The Conclusion it is very mysterious. It is said to be that a comet entered the atmosphere behind the sun and moved in southest to northeast direction The comet was composed of about 30,000 tons of water, methane, and ammonia ice with traces of silicates and iron oxides

Hypothesis and theories The anti-matter hypothesis is offered by Cowan, Alturi and Libby (1965) and supported by Gentry (1966). This theory proposes that an anti-rock composed of anti-matter was annihilated in the atmosphere above the Tunguska explosion site and caused the observed damage. Cowan et al. postulated that such an explosion would cause an increase in atmospheric radiocarbon. Upon analysis of C-14 content in a 300-year-old Douglas fir from Arizona, they believe that they obtained increased radiocarbon for the time of the event. However, the data presented in their paper appear to lack statistical significance for support of their conclusions. Furthermore, careful C-14 measurements of a tree nearer the blast fail to show an increase in 1909 (Lerman et al. 1967). The Tunguska explosion is unique and mysterious. However, suggesting a theory is very easy. Though the other theories have a possibility, they have difficulty explaining the seen event and the ending physical evidence. Making use of the common hypothesis allows for a probable scenario. Or a scenario that is commonly seen.
