Scientists confirm an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs

ANU Astrophysicist and cosmologist Dr Brad Tucker says science has finally confirmed it was an asteroid which wiped out the dinosaurs on earth 66 million years ago.

“This is that final key piece of evidence in this because previously what we had was a crater off the north part of Mexico that happened around 66 billion years ago, the time the dinosaurs got wiped out,” he told Sky News.

“What we wanted to find was bits of that asteroid in the sample at the spot the asteroid we think happened in Mexico and that’s essentially what they confirmed with the sample.”

Dr Tucker said the aim was to see if pieces of the asteroid were in the sample taken from Mexico and there was evidence worldwide of asteroid pieces, dust, and debris which is believed to have blocked out the sun for a period of potentially five years.

“It didn’t happen overnight it happened gradually over a course of a couple years, even five years, so it’s not an instantaneous thing but it’s all triggered from this one collision.”

No way. They weren't wearing masks - THAT is what killed them.

Scientists also confirmed that water is wet

Scientists confirm wokeness wiped out humanity.

9/10 scientists agree with whoever is funding them

I learned that 40 years ago in primary school. What a revelation.

[drytsk]

Not a pandemic? How dinosaurs survived for 30 millions of years without a global health care ?

At least catastrophism is being talked about openly. The evidence just can't beignored forever. They are still a long way from the truth, but hopefully this is another nail in the coffin of uniformitarianism.

Science proclaimed DDT as a miracle cure too..!
Science is like a Jerry Springer show.

It was done in Noah's flood 967 BC 2, 948 years ago.

This is stupid. There was no mystery.
We never though someone dug that 200km crater and then went around the globe laying an ash sediment later like they were fertilising the garden.

[MJ-witc]

It’s official, all this uncertainty for all these years! Who would have guessed?! No longer will this mystery go unsolved!
Oh wait it’s in elementary school books for the past 50years

[Hopium]

Um it was confirmed that covid wiped out the dinosaurs.

[mattiescreations]

He was there at the time and was a witness so he confirmed it for us all

[malamuteaerospace]

Really they finally built a time machine and went back and saw it.

[Klonzo]

I was half expecting this guy to say we'll need to lockdown for 14 days to slow the asteroid risk

[drjohnd.]

Oh dear. People will believe anything and media will push anything.

[entertainme]

All they did was confirm that an asteroid caused the huge asteroid crater in Mexico! I don't even...

[ActiveAussie]

This has been known since 1990. A geologist working for PEMEX oil company discovered the crater. It roughly 200 km in diameter.

So all dinosaurs died except crocodiles and bugs that scientists say were around with the dinosaurs but which one morphed in to humans and elephants and horses etc etc. ?

[fishermaninabox]

Pre-historic is oxymoronic.
...and moronic, too...

What a nonsensical mess.
