asteroid did not kill the dinosaurs | |
me (OP) User ID: 1554386 United Kingdom 09/20/2011 02:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | New research by Nasa's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) seems to have ruled Baptistina out. "As a result of the WISE science team's investigation, the demise of the dinosaurs remains in the cold case files," said Nasa scientist Lindley Johnson. "The original calculations with visible light estimated the size and reflectivity of the Baptistina family members, leading to estimates of their age, but we now know those estimates were off. With infrared light, WISE was able to get a more accurate estimate, which throws the timing of the Baptistina theory into question." WISE surveyed the entire celestial sky twice in infrared light from January 2010 to February 2011. Infrared light allows more accurate size estimates of asteroids than visible light. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1557571 damn right. their cycle ended, they moved on to other worlds and made way for humans, the second beings on earth with individual source consciousness after the dinosaurs. our cycle will eventually end and the third beings will replace humans nasa and mainstream science are a very bad joke, the canadian genius described it perfectly. pistachio science |

Didn't get them all though, alligators, crocodiles, sharks, whales, turtles, lizards, rhinos, hippos, insects and some birds, still here. Over the course of 65 million years, you can bet your ass earth has seen its share of doom. Earthquakes, comets, asteroids, solar, lunar, tsunami, volcano, ice ages, you fucking name it, life here has endured it. Species come and go on this spaceship, some are more resilient than others, but the ride is not infinite. Enjoy the ride. |

SPOOKS! donotbelieveitaaahrunforthe hills!!!" or in other words, no. reptiles did not evolve and decide to leave the planet into the hands of neanderthals. this is so stupid and far fetching and these nasa scientists are just reaching out because they are about to get laid off being part of the shuttle program that is now exctinct.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1557571 I thought it was understood now that some dinosaurs evolved into birds, especially the smaller ones. The larger ones were already dying off before any meteor may have struck. The mainstream theory in recent years, as I've understood it, is that the large dinosaurs were already mysteriously dying off and had for a few million years, then something - probably the asteroid - finished them off completely 65 million years ago. |
