Plate Tectonics

Circa 260 Million BCE

By dating rocks and fossils scientists can document the movement of the continents over time.

To confirm and refine this science, geologists study rocks, paleontologists study fossils, and anthropologists study human societies, cultures, and relics. The location and dating of rocks, fossils, and relics allow us to understand the distant past.

Cynognathus, circa 242 million BCE
Lystrosaurus, circa 250 million BCE
Glossopteris, circa 275 million BCE
Mesosaurus, circa 285 million BCE

Natural Philosopher & Author

Prestwood explores science-first philosophy, with particular attention to the convergence of disciplines. Drawing on his TST Philosophy, his work emphasizes rational inquiry grounded in empirical observation while engaging questions at the edges of established knowledge. With TouchstoneTruth positioned as a living touchstone, this work aims to contribute reliable, evolving analysis in an emerging AI era where the credibility of information is increasingly contested.
