It was rhetorical, but I think it is legitimate to ask questions of our theories and those of others. Maybe someone has the best explanation of something I think is paradoxical. I sure can't make this particular system work with facts.

If you believe or doubt a theory there should be some coherence. For example, in Tunguska where the impact occurred early in the last century, there was evidence of mutation rates consistent with high radiation. This is totally inexplicable considering what we think it was and how we understand how physics works.

One possible explanation is that with energetic enough events you can generate neutron flux or gamma ray flux by means unknown to us. This is probably like the sonoluminescence that occurs in water (also by a mechanism we don't understand).

If you create high enough energy densities then you might start shaking apart matter. The KE yields from Tunguska were enormous (on the order of the largest city-killer bombs of the Cold War). To me this is entirely consistent with my belief that we are fields of energy, tightly swirled. Large perturbations (like 20 Megatons equivalent energy) might cause matter to shake apart. The real test is do we see X-rays from impacts? Because the Shoemaker-Levy 9 impact was largely over the horizon, we might not know if there were anomalous X-ray bursts.
