That must've been the craziest shit ever for cavemen to see...

[–]TheMonksAndThePunks 556 ポイント557 ポイント  (85子コメント)

...not to mention the dinosaurs.

Don't worry. They were only frightened for a couple of seconds

[–]mike_pants[S] 309 ポイント310 ポイント  (73子コメント)

Okay, so I'll drop this here because it's my favorite Death To Dinosaurs theory.

There's a scienceman who thinks that the "asteroid, ash cloud, global cooling, decades-long die-off" hypothesis is wrong, and that the actual extinction would have taken place over the course of about 40 minutes. His theory is that the ejecta launched into space from the impact would have been quickly pulled back into the atmosphere, with each bit depositing a small amount of heat as it burned up. With the amount of material we're talking about, he figured out that in under an hour, the Earth would have become as hot as the inside of a pizza oven.

[–]_TheBgrey 80 ポイント81 ポイント  (34子コメント)

So the whole planet was flash fried? Wouldn't there have been more evidence? Plant life and other small life wouldn't have been able to survive no?

[–]mike_pants[S] 121 ポイント122 ポイント  (33子コメント)

Dirt and water are great insulators, so anything under a few inches of either or in a cave would have made it. Also seed pods and nuts and such would have been okay.

There is evidence that this happened in the form of teeny glass beads in the layer of dirt that contains the asteroid debris, called the K-T layer. It's these beads that would have been the bits that burned up.

Although without time travel, we'll never know for sure, but it's certainly compelling. There was a great Radiolab episode where the scienceman talked about this.

I don't think I want to time travel to when earth was cooked in 40 minutes.

Wear a suit made out of frozen pizzas and stay there for fifteen-to-twenty minutes. You'll come back fine, probably.

[–]erichie 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I have nothing to add to the conversation, but I love the term 'scienceman'. I don't think it is an offical term for anything, but it really encompasses everything you need to know about him in a simple, mass produced package.

[–]hagennn 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I thought a lot of mammals survived, wouldn't they also die based on this theory? Like animals things close to the ground but not under it

[–]Boiscool 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

A lot of the mammals lived underground or in caves. Underground as in burrows.

"Last Day of the Dinosaurs" Discovery Channel Documentary, 2010. Looks at the (Luis and Walter) Alvarez hypothesis. Although the time frame is longer than 40 minutes if I remember correctly (IIRC).

[–]strawwalker 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Think it was over a couple of hours. Radiolab also did a program on this a year or two ago.

[–]shinynuts 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I thoroughly enjoy your use of "scienceman". I shall add it to my lexicon.

[–]Bokkoel 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

"Alvarez père et fils realized that a thin boundary of clay marking the boundary between the Cretaceous and the Tertiary was unnaturally rich in iridium, no matter where in the world you examined it. Iridium is a lot more common in comets and asteroids than it is on Earth. So they postulated something big hit the planet, burned the forests, and killed the dinos"

[–]ShockedGeologist 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You might want to remove "burned the forests," as the IR pulse due to ejecta re-entry may have only reached >5 kW/m2. Still enough to heat the surface to ~260℃ but not hot enough to ignite the biomass.

[–]Shit_Posts_For_Karma 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

The world is only 25,000yrs old. The dinosaurs were invented by scientists and are fake, and the church made up carbon dating to support their beliefs and the world is most definitely flat. And your a fucking idiot and an asshole if you believe anything else according to some guy I work with.

[–]zebrapatternlighter 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Why 25 000? I thought people believed 6000.

I actually once was almost dozing off when I saw a flash through the curtains, brushed them aside and saw something like the gif. I just thought "oh so I guess I had less time than I thought. Wonder what's next". And thought about some loved ones. When no boom and incineration came I took a sleeping pill and laid until I stopped shaking and slept again.

I have to ask, and I've always been curious... In a battle between two devoted gif collectors, how do you organize and keep track of gifs? Are they all saved to your computer/cloud, and you upload them when you need to use them, or are you just saving the link from where you found them?

Dash cams are way more common there due to insurance fraud would be my guess. So its not more meteors, just more getting recorded.

As opposed to something so far away it takes over 8 minutes for its light to even reach us?

And just think about that. Our fastest plane can go over 4000 mph. Light goes 670,000,000 mph and the sun is still so far away it takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds to get here. In just that last 20 seconds there, the light has moved 3,720,000 miles.

I saw a meteorite when I was a kid in Sask. It was in the daytime, in the summer when I was 6 or 7 so..1967-68. Anyway, at the town pool, a sunny summer day outside and then it actually got brighter. In the northern sky a meteorite big enough to brighten the sky in the middle of a cloudless summer day. I will never forget that sight.

[–]burritosandblunts 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

A friend and I saw a really bright one one night on the lake when we were fishing. Not quite like in the gif but much more than the "showers" the news reports on. I remember we both just sat there in silence for a good while after...wondering if I really saw that, or if I should stop drinking my beer because I shouldn't be hallucinating from budwisers haha.

I saw one while driving across Hatteras Island at 4am one morning in winter that lit the sky up like daylight and looked like a flaming school bus tumbling through the air. I was with a buddy heading to a go on a Tuna fishing trip and it just happened to be the peak of a meteor shower... Leonid I think... Must have seen 200 in about an hour. If I didn't have a witness I'm not even sure I would believe what I saw...
