    While initial reports point towards it coming from space, I have managed to traced the origin back to the big bang. That's right, it was rigged to happen from the start.

      It was a bug meteor from the asteroid ring around Klendathu.

        The ascent of mammals as unintended side effect.

        Not to get off topic but (some myth busting is in order) the updated theory is excessive volcanic activity had already been killing off the dinosaurs. The asteroid wasn't the primary killer, but more like the last straw.

          There were several asteroid impacts at around the same time. For example, the Shiva impact off the west coast of India:

          The Deccan Traps basaltic flows also happened at 'the same' time, in the same place:

          It's not clear if the Shiva impact caused the volcanic activity, or it's just a remarkable coincidence.

            This article I believe says otherwise.

            What's also great about this article is how it gives the rest of us a peek behind the curtain of science (and how emotional and unscientific it actually is).

            > Shiva impact caused the volcanic activity

            Heh, if I remember my Godology, it's on par with what Shiva do.

              So the Shiva 'crater' Structure may not be an impact, and the date for Shiva is taken directly from the Deccan Trap basalts, so not a remarkable coincidence, a fix.

              According to today's www.farsidecomic.com/comic-collections/792/science-and-scientists-sept2024 there's the "Professor Ferrington and his controversial theory that dinosaurs were actually the discarded "chicken" bones of giant, alien picknickers." theory, that disproves [once and for all. Finally!!] that 'the' dinosaurs didn't exist.

                wouldn't be volcanic activity be a consequence of a large enough impact, basically a waterhammer with magma?

                  ,yes but unfortunately plain text does not allow for reverb,echo, and huge vocal equivilants what would be "groundshaking" is an asteroid or meteor fragment containing clearly visible allien fossils statisticaly,such things must exist
