Evidence shows that the Earth began a new era since 1945

Recent scientists have shown evidence that the Earth has entered a new era - the era of people since 1945.

Scientists have recently given evidence that Earth entered a new era - the human era (Anthropocene) - fundamentally changed by the "face" of the Earth.

Experts believe the Anthropocene era began when the first atomic bomb exploded in New Mexico on July 16, 1945. Along with that, human behavior also created a tremendous impact on the Earth, even changing the geology of the planet.

With the population boom, mankind has turned more than half of its land into farmland. Roads, stone mines and agricultural land have pushed back vegetation. About three-quarters of the Earth's land area is reclaimed under human hands.

Many underground works are also built and developed. Numerous mines and silos sprout up all over the world with the aim of exploiting potential underground resources. This causes a significant geological disturbance.

According to Dr. Jan Zalasiewicz of the University of Leicester's Geology Department, although the starting point is not a perfect sign but when the first atomic bomb exploded, it caused global radiation levels to rise in those The first year of the 1950s. It is estimated that this atomic bomb can produce destructive power equivalent to 15,000 to 20,000 tons of TNT.

Along with that, a large amount of radioactive dust is released into the air, causing significant impact on life on Earth.

The term "Anthropocene" was first coined by Paul Nobel Prize-winning researcher Paul Crutzen in 2000. He said that the great impact of people in the world has completely changed. Holocene - started about 11,700 years ago. This is said to be a stable era when Earth's climate is always stable. Static coast, allowing people to develop agriculture, fishing, and build villages.

However, many scientists have objected to this conclusion because according to them, there is still a lot of unconvincing evidence to say the transition to a new era. Currently, researchers are still presenting evidence of this Anthropocene era.

The paper on the Anthropocene era was published in Quaternary International magazine .
