Nasa Says 'Prayer' Is Our Best Defence Against A Deadly Asteroid

[marcus300]

Nature is all about cycles, and even rebooting.

Mankind has become arrogant to the point where we think we can defy the natural order of things and that we are beyond things like weather changes and evolution, but a huge fvcking asteroid is still capable of eliminating us in a the blink of an eye. Sucks for everything else, but a million years after that impact, life would simply restart.

Have to remember, Asteroid impacts here are very rare. Only been 5 as far as we can tell in the last 500 -1000 million years. If it wasn't for an asteroid wiping out the dinosaurs, humans wouldn't be here today.

Only 5? wooow the odds seem better now. I think we would of wipe the dino's out, a few more reps with those rocks and we would have them killed skinned and ate!

Hahaha, imagine it "im bulking up on brontosaurus steaks this week".

The thing with the dinosaurs, because they were so big and so massive, the few mammal species that there were, were very small 200-65 million years ago. That's due to selective evolutionary pressures. For mammals, it was beneficial for them to be small so they could evade being predated on by the massive Saurons, but by being small, they were never going to challenge the much bigger dinosaurs for dominance of the planet. This had the added bonus, that when the dinosaurs were wiped out, the small mammals literally dug in deep and waited for the smoke to clear before inheriting the earth.

Interesting fact, birds are the last descendants of the dinosaurs. If you look at things like Chickens, you can see they still have scales on their legs. A lot of people assume it is reptiles, crocodiles and snakes but they are separate species that existed at the same time as dinosaurs and were just lucky to come out the other side of the last asteroid impact that killed everything else off 65 million years ago.

birds of predation are called "Raptors" for a reason............

Indeed they are Bird lost teeth over time but all gained the power of flight and developed hollow bones and feathers.

I'm here! It's a bit of a pain in the ass posting on the iPhone but this thread coaxed a response from me ahaha. I visit the q&a too and try to help there when I can.

I'll try and bump the science/space/time thread tonite.
