Absolute dinosaurs destroyed for two owls

US scientists say that not one, but two consecutive asteroids colliding with the earth in about 300 years of extinction.

For many years, a hypothetical scientific consensus was that 65 million years ago, a 10-kilometer asteroid fell into the Yucatán peninsula, Mexico left Chicxulub, leading to transformation. Global climate, causing the extinction of dinosaurs.

But the latest hypothesis adds, after the event over 300 years, another asteroid about 40 km in diameter has crashed into the west coast of India and this is the decisive blow to destroy the dinosaurs of . "God". "Dinosaurs are unfortunate," says Sankar Chatterjee, a paleontologist, Texas University of Technology.

Chatterjee said that this time the crash into the sea floor has left a hole about 500 km in diameter. The research team has been studying this crater since 1996, and named the hole and the celestial body Shiva, a god of destruction in Hinduism. Chatterjee said: 'If our speculations are correct, this is the largest meteorite pit discovered on earth .'

According to the team's calculations, the impact intensity of the Shiva asteroid is extremely large, sending away all the material on the surface of the nearby earth, forming the jagged contour of the Shiva meteorite.

Structural analysis model of Shiva pits with serrated edges.

Chatterjee's team also said that the collision split part of the small Indian continent, drifting to Africa, forming the Seychelles Islands. At the same time, the collision caused the western Indian volcano to erupt.

65 million years ago, dinosaurs once dominated the land, air, and even under the sea with diverse species. However, the number of collisions of the earth with other celestial bodies (the phenomenon is not rare in the universe) has erased the monopoly of dinosaurs.

The departure of the dinosaurs, gave way to the animals of the animal class, in which there are human beings. Currently, human beings can only imagine the golden age of this species in history through fossils found in archaeological trips or a few descendants of dinosaurs, some reptiles.

The lesson about the destruction of dinosaurs leaves a calamity obsession capable of destroying human life. Even a British MP made the impossible idea to build a network of radio astronomical observatories spread all over the global surface to guard the civilization of humanity.

Responding to this fear, many countries have planned to respond by using nuclear warheads to catch objects that are capable of colliding with the earth, detonating the energy of the explosion. their movement direction.
