Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show with your host, Eric Metaxus.

Right now, this is my conversation in Oxford, England, with Dr. Colin Nicol about his book, The Great Christ Comets.

Okay, now I'm guessing that before this whole thing, you didn't know much about comments.

Well, I had been reading a little bit about, as part of a broader reading about comments and everything.

and this stands...

Independent of this.

Yes, but, well, as part of this and independent of this.

As part of what I, everything I find, and this actually remains true for four years.

Every single thing I find out about comments fit perfectly.

Nothing didn't. And that was the amazing thing.

I mean, if you're thinking about, for example, the star, what do we know? We know when the star

appeared first appeared over a year beforehand. And we know that the star remained visible

for a long time.

Yeah, that's strange right there.

So it suddenly appears and then it remains visible.

Yeah.

Right. Well, that alone, if it's visible for more than a year, can only really be explained

with reference to either a supernova, which is a massive nuclear explosion of a star, which causes the star to become

incredibly bright, or a great comet. And it has to be a really great comet to do that. And there's

plenty of comets that are in that historically, if you go back over the last couple of centuries,

that would attain to that. But that's still a great comment.
