I have evidence it was the Russians.

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 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

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)...

Currently I am reading Fulcanelli Anyone here familiar with his work?

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.

If Dr Lisa Fowler mad a move on Dr Sheldon Cooper would neuroscientist Amy Farrah Fowler kill her?

This reminds me of the medical joke that as soon as someone discovers a new medical condition or disease, you know that within a few years, they’ll identity famous people who likely died of it.

There is no ‘dark matter’. There is just matter.

But we know that there are more dimensions than just the four we can immediately observe so it makes sense that matter that we can observe in four dimensions also has properties that are expressed in dimensions we can’t observe.

I propose that dark matter isn’t separate from the matter we can see but that it is really just the extradimensional aspects of the matter we can see.

There is no scientific experience with “dark matter.” “dark matter” has been proposed as a way of getting out of the trouble caused by current theories and equations.
Rather than admit the theories and equations are inadequate, they postulate “dark matter.”
Sorry, “dark matter” is like “alternate” universes and the “multiverse”. Don’t exist.

The real problem with the astroid, dark matter, what have you theory which killed off the dinos is that they went on living (according to the fossil record) for millions of years after the ELE at 60 million BC.
