“...suggesting these can survive for far longer than we thought. “
Yeah, right!
“...the discovery of organic material in 75-million year old dinosaur fossils.”
.
They were going to use the material to create a living dinosaur and set up a big park but there was a strange new virus that escaped from the lab and starting spreading as soon as the Chinese researchers got off the plane in Wuhan.
*ping*
Paging Michael Crichton . . .
What could POSSIBLY go wrong.
Recycled garbage. Saw this story a decade ago. Lol.
Lol.. just trying to preserve dna for testing for a prolonged period is tough... b7t a few million years. Um okay, mr scientist.
The chinese have committed fraud in this area of “science” on multiple occasions. I’ll wait until a civilized nation verifies.
So we can get lab-grown Brontosaurus steaks?
Amazon will have Hypacrosaurus’s available for Prime members by the end of the year. Great gifts for the kiddos for Christmas, and if there is a delay they can go into the Easter baskets (although you made need to get a bigger basket)
I figure I probably have about 30 more years if I’m lucky. Three weeks if the virus goes big. Anyway, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if some sort of Jurassic Park became a reality in my lucky lifetime scenario.
“Life, uhh, finds a way.”
“The implications of potentially finding DNA in these samples are huge. Current thinking says that DNA can only persist for about a million years maximum – but these fossils are 75 million years old.”
Other scientists theorize that it proves the dinosaurs ARE not that old.
To me It takes a lot of faith to rely on carbon dating to date something one hundred million years ago.
It takes a lot of Faith to create a “scientific fact” derived on 0.00005% observation.
Time will tell.
