      Kinda like when Captain Cook reached New Zealand for the first time, the natives had never seen anything like their ships and men of that color, weapons, clothing, etc, and it was so foreign to them that they did not even acknowledge them. It was so far out of their existence that they couldn't wrap their minds around what they were seeing.

    The only thing that has changed for the dragonfly in the last 300 million years is their size. They used to be massive, but their structure and proportions are still exactly the same as their fossils.
    A system that wires their flight controls directly to their eyes doesn't need change. It's why they have the highest strike-kill ratio in all of earth's history. It's like their muscles can see the food in their airspace and instantly do the math required to eat it.
    Impressive that they made it through every catastrophic event over such a vast amount out time.

    I think it was both an asteroid AND volcanic activities. I watched a video (Demolition Ranch) where he shot a large solid glass ball with guns. One bullet hit the ball on the front, causing a nice crater. Then they noticed on the other side of the ball, exactly opposite the bullet crater, a small roughly circular area of cracks. The interveving areas of glass were unaffected. It was like a shock wave went around the glass and focused on the opposite side, magnifying their power to cause the cracking. I think the same thing happened to earth when the asteroid hit, causing the traps volcanism.

      I wonder what volcanos were triggered by this impact, wonder if there's evidence of it too!

    • @JimmyOwen0992
      @JimmyOwen0992 Месяц назад +11

      You are describing the theory of antipode eruptions post impact. This is a common theory for a lot of impacts and one that was brought up with this one linking the Deccan traps together as the traps were pretty much on the opposite side at the time. However, there are basalt deposits from the Deccan traps that predate this impact.
      But another more prominent theory is that it was a double hit to life. It started with the enormous volume of greenhouse gasses expelling from the Deccan traps and then this impact. The meteor impacted in a shallow sea which had a thick floor of carbonate rock. The impact valorized a crazy amount of this carbonate rock and released massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. Coupled with the months of fire raining down onto the surface and the years of nuclear winter afterwards, the final nails were hammered into the coffin for dinosaurs.

    Most of the newest evidence says that the asteroid weakened the whole ecosystem but the volcanoes slowly chiped away at the dinosaurs for around 200k or even a million years before most of them became extinct, but there are still debates if the volcanoes were caused by the impact or if they were active well before it and it just happened for a huge metheorite to strike at that time.

    The best place to see the iridium layer of the cretaceous-paleogene boundary is at the cliff of Stevns 40 km south of Copenhagen.

    Planetary-scale mega floods are a cool topic, like the Missoula and Bonneville floods, or the refilling of the Mediterranean sea.

    There's a lot of Star Trek novels out there, but there is one that I read last year called "First Frontier." The story is batshit crazy. In a nutshell, descendants of dinosaurs who were seeded on another planet and have since developed into intelligent and technologically-advanced species, travel to earth, go back in time and prevent the asteroid from hitting the planet, thus essentially erasing humanity from existing, and therefore, no Starfleet. Kirk and co. are in a temporal anomaly on the other side of the quadrant that is a direct result of the timeline being altered, and they survive the changes. They go back to earth, beam down to Starfleet headquarters, and all they see is a grassland area. They also encounter Vulcans and Klingons, but both races are vastly different than what they know them as. Kirk and his people end up having to go back in time to prevent the dinosaur people from averting the asteroid impact. One of the final scenes ends with them in orbit of earth as the asteroid makes impact. Just an absolutely crazy premise for a story, but if you're both a Star Trek fan and a dinosaurs enthusiast, you will love "First Frontier."

  • @IreneSalmakis

    the problem with the flood basalt hypothesis is that it took several million years for the Siberian traps to cause the end-permian extinction, and it happened in several waves. By contrast, the K-Pg extinction happened almost instantaneously, pointing to a cause much more immediately catastrophic. It seems most likely that the Deccan traps were weakening ecosystems, and made the impact even more devastating than it would otherwise have been.

    i subscribe to the both theorey, our universe is always ore complex than we like to think. and it just makes sense that an impactthat signifigant would obviously trigger volcanos. i mean if the very crust is liquified, pressurized lava would erupt all over the place

    It wasnt just the asteroid impact. The impact supposedly caused the Deccan traps in India on the other side of the Earth as a result of where the shock caused the crust upheaval into a massive area of volcanic activity. A double punch.

    AM I GOING CRAZY??
    I swear there was a new Astrum video the other day about the possibility of life on other planets. The video was close to 2 hours long and I could have sworn Alex started the video saying something along the lines of "Im going to tell you everything I know about alien life".
    I decided to watch it later since it was such a long video and now I can't find it anywhere. I remember it being Astrum, but I'm scratching my head here.

    I have always wanted more info on the idea that an asteroid could have hit and caused eruptions at the weakest points on the opposite side of the planet. There are correlations at least of impact craters and simalarly aged volcanoes on the other end. This is true here as well as on Mars.
