I also I think they have it wrong with the common theory that Dinosaurs were wiped out by an Asteroid, though they aren't sure where the event crater is. They do mental gymnastics to make Yucatan Peninsula look like a crater, but I think it's just a natural geological formation. The KT boundary could have been caused by a huge dust plume, that would have had just as much debris as the Chicxulub would have produced. That would have easily killed off the Dinosaurs, also you can then also deduce that every mass extinction has been produced by the same phenomena. It's probably still out there in our galaxy waiting for Earth's spiral arm to rotate to a region in the Milky-way where there's heavy dust. I also suspect our orbit gets altered by other objects in other Star orbits, as we pass by them as we churn through the galaxy.
It's a no brainer, Scientist and Geologist try to bridge one continent with the other by using Layers of soil that match to other continents. But again the Huge Cosmic Dust plume theory also does away with that.
But what ever the calamity that has befell the Earth or is yet to befall it. I don't think it lies in Cow farts and aimless trips in the Excursion SUV. I think there are timed Cosmic events that happens in our Galaxy as the spiral arm Earth is in completes Galaxy rotation, like a Hurricane vortex. The water on the west side, whips back around to the east and Continues the cycle. It takes Millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions, that part has to be studied to time the next one. But one thing for sure, all we will be able to do, is kiss our asses good bye and wish better luck with the evolution of the surviving species.

I challenge anyone to find anything that looks like a 6 mile wide impact crater in this map.

I don't know.

I'm pointing out there is evidence of an impact. It's just evidence, not proof.

Perhaps you are entirely right, but there is a disturbance in the Earth that is SAID to be dated at that time the coincides with the iridium layer and the extinction of most of the dinosaurs. This can all be fabricated for all I know, it's not like I'm going to map magnetic field there or learn how to date the rocks there.

It's Generally Accepted As True - but so is the Big Bang Theory, and I have a lot of reasons to think that is false. Never forget, in the future, we're the primitive ignorant masses.

It's the best, supposed, knowledge I have access to, if it's real knowledge.

In 2000 years there may be school children laughing at the idea we believed there was a beginning to the universe. The challenge is to build upon the dead and not regress. Regression is very possible. We have to guard against it, and our children and grandchildren and great grandchildren and so on must guard against it. We are the pinnacle (as far as we know) of civilization. We must maintain it, at minimum, but we should build.

And we have built.

In front of you is a world communication system. Unimaginable when I was 10. The most powerful research and educational tool EVER made by mankind, a repository of infinite information and communication, the envy of every civilization before us. We'll have to maintain that. You think of this as commonplace now, but this is a major achievement. This was tremendous effort to make.

I believe in a single unified humanity, but not by force. Guidance only, and the guidance is beyond my comprehension. No central controllers, let it happen over time without interference, people who interfere with it, I oppose. I think, in time, we can come to unity, and in time, we will realize our divisions are among the sociopaths that control us.

So to be brief, maybe your right, maybe your wrong, but it's going to take a lot of people to determine that and hopefully they are right, but errors will be corrected in time. We must always be aware that the majority can be wrong. Bruno died at the stake for refusing to accept the "majority" opinion.

True as cosmic or space dust is a factor.

Ten Pound Bass mentions very little to no rain in the last month in South Florida. Been raining a lot here in South Walton (Florida panhandle).

Check the drought map and none of Florida is in any drought condition: https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/

Looks like the headwaters for Colorado River are not bad as Colorado's drought conditions (western slope also) have improved greatly.

I hope that means Lake Meade fills up more. Unless its more of a demand problem and that even if there was no drought, the lake level would continue to drop

.

What about that Jan 2022 Tonga volcano? A little soil went up in the air; check before and after pics. Pinatubo was a VEI6 and cooled the earth by one degree for a year. Tonga was behind by one VEI. There is a huge plume of dust over the S. Pacific that ISS cuts out. It is spreading.
Then last week, MSM blasted from many sites the event sent so much WATER in the atmosphere that it will increasing global WARMNG. Well, well.

| don't mean it hasn't been raining, it just hasn't rained for long. It rains every other day. Just a few minutes starting with a smattering pitter patter, than a quick downpour, then ends with another brief pitter patter. But the weather keeps saying the "Dust" is going to keep Florida dry. I am finding it Odd, that it keeps raining like hell to the North of us, and to the West. I can hear the thunder rumbling off in the distance over the Everglades.

We're not in drought though, the lawn is still lush, when usually it turns brown and my back yard turns into a sandlot, when we're in a drought.
I'm expecting lots of rain this Summer, and not many major storms hitting the usual Southern targets of the past two decades.
The Caribbean tropics are quiet, and it is really giving the Weather folks the sads. So they keep harping how dry it is due to Sharan dust. Got to keep the Climate hype going.

I'll just leave this here. It's an excellent documentary which describes a site in IIRC Wyoming that, more than anything else, seems to nail the KT asteroid impact causing dinosaur extinction. It aired earlier this year. Well worth anyone's time.

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/video/day-the-dinosaurs-died/

The KT boundary is a layer that covered the globe, my theory does the same thing. I've seen the shoddy theory about the Chicxulub and the KT boundary, I've seen hundreds of them. And they all plagiarize one Discovery documentary after another. Complete with color 3d graphics and all. While there might have been a huge Asteroid that hit the Yucatan, they have to really dig deep to justify all of the debris that it put in the Earth's atmosphere.
I think something that powerful might have kicked up some dirt, but I don't think it would engulf the Earth for so long, that it wiped out species of plants and animals.
Dirt is pretty heavy, it sinks pretty fast once the winds die down, and there's nothing left keeping it aloft. But a steady constant stream of Cosmic dust would create the weeks, months, or years required to kill off the Dinosaurs and previous mass extinctions before it.

Many of the Scientists that has latched on to this Discovery Channel theory, also has to enlist the help of Mega Volcano's triggered by the impact, because even they don't believe the impact alone would have been enough to do it.

Something about horses and water . . .

The documentary I referenced isn't Discovery Channel bullshit. It's based on the most recent discoveries in paleontology that relate specifically to the digs being conducted in (correction) North Dakota.

Dust particles also play a decisive role in the formation of our own existence on Earth. The dust in galaxies consists of small grains of carbon, silicon, iron, aluminum and other elements found here on earth. So when Grant Boy goes goes digging and finds a layer of dirt that is also on the other side of the planet on another continent It rained from the sky, is probably a more likely plausible story, than a Hollywood gloom and doom scenario.

Moreover I wager Global Warming from Carbon trapped in the atmosphere is a nonissue due to the Dust in the Cosmic Wind.
As these tiny space particles bombard our planets atmosphere, they get positively charges, while the carbon particulates are negatively charged.
Now guess what happens next? My God, I must be right or the Earth's atmosphere would be so dense, there would be zero visibility and our air would be 80% carbon by now after billions of years of "Global Warming"

Here's another curious tidbit, When I was a kid, one of the Space Shuttle's mission was sending a satellite into orbit, that has Sticky Traps on paddle arms, to catch some of the cosmic dust, to return to earth to analyze. Funny thing is, out of all of the Space missions, this mission has never been talked about, the findings has never been featured in a History Channel, Discovery Channel, or a PBS documentary.

Now I think I know why, those findings would end 4 or 5 Science studies and the Grants they illicit.

My parents live in Denver. They had a shit ton of snow a few years ago, and nothing less than normal recently.

Could be. I'm not a geologist - it's beyond my knowledge.

I'm comfortable in the zone of "I don't know", most people are not. It seems likely that the Chicxulub crater is the origin of the extinction of dinosaurs, but if it's not, I'm fine with that.

I recognize that we are primitives. In 2000 years the people that exist will be like "I can't believe they thought the universe had dark matter - what idiots!" or something along those lines. Well that's the hope, the alternative will be "what is fire?"

"The weather in Heaven is great these days. Get your vaccine and boosters now!"

richwicks says

if you are legitimately colorblind, there's a set of glasses called EnChroma glasses.

Hm, I'll have to try a pair.

I am able to differentiate red/green, but only in some cases. If a large solid color red or green square is in front of me I have no problem, but as the area gets smaller, such as thin lines of color, or red/green mixed in with other colors (especially dithering) is where things totally break down. Also, certain shades are much more difficult to ascertain, and sometimes placing certain other colors nearby the red or green makes me unable to tell the color.

It makes for comical mistakes sometimes. Back when I was maybe 19 or 20, I bought this cool looking white camo t shirt. It was a whitish to borderline very light grey cotton, and the camo pattern was pure white, using that typical raised white lettering material they use on custom lettered shirts. I wore it all summer. Then one day some girl said "cool shirt. you're brave for wearing pink." and after a brief back and forth with her, with me confused and asking what the hell she was talking about, that's the moment I realized I wasnt wearing a whitish grey shirt, but pink camo lol. Of course my friends knew but didn't tell me haha. I was really into lifting weights at that time, and to be honest I was pretty jacked...walking around in a pink camo tshirt lol.

Lots of bull riding rednecks I grew up with in the 80s wore hot pink. T-shirts, nascar hats, etc.

I’ve always thought of color blind condition having to do with the number of rods and cones in the eyes. There aren’t as many in the eyes or color blind people so the definition of color detection is reduced. Colors are just bands on the electromagnetic spectrum, usually differentiated by nanometers. Most people can tell the difference between 5-10 nanometers in that scale, some even less! A colorblind person can only tell between 50 nm. The red and the green colors are right next to each other as are the yellow and green, and the indigo/blue. So if you’re showing me a color that’s red but only 10nm away from being green, I might just call it green. Likewise for a green that’s close to being red. Or blue close to purple. Or green close to yellow. It’s annoying and other people NEVER seem to understand. Yes that’s red, but it’s such a weaksauce shade of red that I can’t tell the difference between that and your red-adjacent green you chose.

There has been a decent amount of adjustment in color schemes of important things like traffic lights to where I never have trouble getting the color right. It’s not hard to make things colorblind friendly. Just place the color deeper into the band that defines it instead of using a shade that is almost the next color.

Anyway, rant over.

I think it's the type as well? Apparently there are a small number of women (no men that I'm aware of) that have a 4th(?) type which allows them to see colors other humans can't. I think it's only a handful of people though. Okay, just searched and found this:

"Tetrachromats have one extra type of cone that allows them to see a fourth dimensionality of colors. It results from a genetic mutation. And there's indeed a good genetic reason why tetrachromats are more likely to be women. The possibility of a tetrachromacy mutation is only passed through the X chromosome."

It’s carried on the X chromosome. So my son was never in any danger of having that condition. But my two daughters, beautiful as they are, each have 50% chance of carrying the bad gene, which they’d have another 50% chance of passing to any male children for the condition or passing the pass through effect to their daughters.

I’m not complaining much. It hasn’t affected my life too much, aside from derailing my dreams of being a fighter pilot. It’s occasionally a problem at work when I have to do some wiring with old color coded cables. I say old because the newer stuff is colored considerately with clearly defined colors. There are work arounds for knowing your colors, and I know them all.

My pre-school teacher told my mom she thought I was retarded because I couldn’t get my colors right.
