[00:00:00]What happens if we go into a what's been referred to by astronomers as a bombardment epoch where you have this fragmenting object whether it's [music] asteroidal or comet or one a hybrid in between them this fragmenting creating multiple [music] impactors and then those are littering the inner solar system [music] and particularly the plane of the ecliptic that the orbit of the earth [music] is is found in and we go through a period like what appears to have occurred [music] throughout the history of this planet is that the impacts record does not appear to be uniformly distributed through time. It seems to be clustered.
