Dark matter caused the demise of the dinosaurs?

by John G. Hartnett

Published: 13 December 2016 (GMT+10)

Harvard University LisaRandallHarvardEdu American theoretical physicist and cosmologist Dr Lisa Randall is another scientist grasping at dark matter for answers. Dark matter has been invoked to solve many vexing problems in astrophysics and cosmology.1 Now it seems it has been invoked to solve the evolutionists’ problem of extinction of the dinosaurs.2

American theoretical physicist and cosmologist Dr Lisa Randall has developed a breakthrough five dimensional warped geometry theory. About two years ago she proposed a new hypothesis on dark matter which suggests the mysterious invisible substance that allegedly dominates the universe played a role in killing the dinosaurs.3 She even has written a book on it—Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs. In the book her new theory is summarised as follows:

I thought it said cosmetology. I’m thinking that’s one smart makeup artist.

She's blaming a SyFy Channel show?

It's a joke.

“warped” properly describes her theory.

If you call the cloud of dust and all the rocks and earth displaced by the incoming meteorite “dark Matter” then she may be correct.

The sad thing is, short of a time machine being invented, we’ll never know for sure what did it.

(That said, I’m beginning to think “dark matter” is just sciencey-sounding bunk scientists came up with to explain stuff they can’t figure out).

Dark matter?

Sounds a bit racist, don’t you think?

Let’s see...matter that we can’t see, can’t detect, and which we’re not sure exists?

Sounds perfect as an evolutionist answer.

"Dark Matters!"

Yeah, dark matter is causing problems in our cities even today.

“Dark matter” is the modern day equivalent of “there they be dragons” at the edge of the world on old maps, or the world being held up by turtles all the way down.

Dark Matter, a way to make the math seem to work.

Perhaps it belongs in the same category as the “luminiferous aether”

They used to invoke a transmission medium for electromagnetic waves and they dubbed it the aether...lol

Racist?

You know it, everyone knows it was white privilige
that killed off the dinosaurs.

I read her theory that perhaps Dark Matter caused permutations in the Oort Cloud causing a comet/s to become dislodged and enter the inner solar system. Sounds logical to me.

At the end of the article the author of the piece states as fact that it was Noah’s Flood that killed off the dinosaurs.

I disagree. It was Comet/s that ended the last Ice Age at 12,800 years ago and again at 11,600 years ago.

Noah’s Flood may have well been an impact in the Indian Ocean known as the Burkle Crater somewhere around 5-6,000 years ago.

All of it is very interesting indeed. It one realizes that the Garden of Eden might have occurred after the Ice Age and the planet was now rich in abundance, quite warmer and less humans, then it was an Eden. Only to be ended several thousand years later with another impact. And again around 536-540 AD (Dark Ages)...

I’m surprised she didn’t say it was pixie dust disturbed by a large herd of wild unicorns that caused the dinosaur extinction. That theory has just as much supporting evidence as this one.

To understand Dark Matter, one must first understand why the COSMOLOGICAL CONSTANT is a VARIABLE.

Ok, maybe it didn’t kill them all but certainly
they were being repressed.
