  1. 🦖☄️ Paleontologist Michael Benton and meteoriticist Monica Grady reconstruct the final day of the #Cretaceous in real-time – from the silent #asteroid visible as a #star, to the fireball and incineration, to mega-tsunamis, global #wildfires, acid #rain, and a decade-long #winter that snuffed out three-quarters of #Earth’s species.

  2. 92% of UK homes overheat in a heatwave. The stone was built for a damp island that no longer exists. The trap: the system cooks the planet, then sells you the AC to survive the heat it made.

  3. ... the fuel to return cuz that blast-off fuel is way too much then you have to manufacture in situ. #Feynman talked about how the dust would actually be one of the major enemies. He described the practical problems of trying to come back to #Earth from Mars very clearly. What about #human #rights?

  4. 🛸🔭 Using #math and #engineering, an #aerospace scientist explains why #interstellar visitors face extreme obstacles like vast distances, staggering fuel requirements, micrometeorite impacts, and conflicting design trade-offs – making an #alien visit to #Earth far less likely than #UFO headlines suggest.

  10. 🪨🔥 #Earth’s inner core reaches about 5,500°C, roughly as hot as the surface of the #sun.

    Scientists from UC #SantaCruz and Sun Yat-sen University calculated this using diamond anvil cells and shock-wave experiments that simulate the extreme pressures deep underground. The outer core’s liquid #iron also generates #Earth’s magnetic field, which protects all #life from #solar #radiation.

  12. 🦖☄️ 66 million years ago, an #asteroid wiped out 75% of #Earth’s species. The survivors – small #birds, #mammals, #turtles, and #fish – shared key traits: a small body size, the ability to burrow or shelter in #water, and flexible diets. Researchers explain how size, diet, and luck determined who lived and who didn’t.

  13. They didn't acquire new empty land. Actually, they killed the natives of the land because the natives have an instinct to take care of the land. Due to human and industrial demand for resources, the natives have been displaced.
