[Off the Court]

And that image is a section of the sky the size of a grain of salt. Billions of galaxies and billions of stars within each galaxy.

We don't even know when it ends either. All we can observe is what the speed of light allows us to observe. For all we know the universe is infinite and there are infinite "big bangs" happening out there.

It really is mind boggling.

It's calculated that there are more galaxies in existence than grains of sand on coastlines.

In my opinion there's probably already been civilizations and intelligent life in some other corner of a galaxy that's lived and perished already. There's probably many civilizations living right now at this very moment, but the big issue is that the universe is so large and spread apart that it takes too much time to develop the technology to have intergalactic travel before that civilization can travel from solar system to solar system. The Great Filter I think it's called. Who knows. Maybe some civilization saw The Solar System hundreds of thousands of years ago and sent a satellite towards it because of two possible planets of life with Earth and Mars.

yeah i've had that thought as well. an entirely different species, or maybe one similar to us, that already did it and lived it all the way we did, but in their own unique way... millions of years ago; or will end up doing it millions of years from now. right now, they're just microbes... or maybe there's nothing left of their planet. no trace of them, whatsoever.

maybe sometime, somewhere there's something going on similar to a rick & morty episode. :lol

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_Golden_Record

There is a good chance another civilization did send one towards us. We have had water and oxygen for a couple billion years so if those two things are good recipes for life for life throughout (hard to say) then I'm sure they spotted our planet & atmosphere/oceans. This is assuming they exist(ed) within our own galaxy, as advanced as us (or more), and within distance to send something.

So just wait patiently, fellows! It might arrive tomorrow or in a million years!

I know, that's why I referenced it. I was saying maybe some other civilization other than us already did what we did.

Hell no.

You would die a painful death.

You would get sucked in while the part nearest to your body gets pulled much harder than the furthest part. So you end up like a spaghetti stretched out while each atom gets ripped from your body. You don't get sucked into a blackhole, your atoms do individually.

that's sicc. at least it would be quick though.

[bladefd]

Your conscious death would be quick.

As for your dead body? Quick depends relative to where the observer is. If you are an outside observer some distance away, your dead body would seem to travel towards the black hole for perhaps forever. It will get closer and closer but never reach it or enter it. As for observers inside the black hole, I have no clue about the black hole conditions inside.

No. If a person if viewing from a distance, diamez body will go in the black hole. You see the effects of things going into the black hole all the time. But for whatever went in, no time has passed.

For example, the light from sun was created a coupled of thousands years ago, and it took 8 and a half minutes to reach the Earth. But from the individual photon's point of view, no time has passed at all.

So if you were somehow able to survive inside a black hole intact, until the black hole evaporated, then when it does, it would be like no time passed.

Also, if a black hole is going to rip a person apart at the atomic level, because gravity is that much stronger one atom up, then it's not going to be a painful death anymore than blowing up due to a large bomb.

If there is/was life in other parts of the universe there's almost certainty life in other parts of our own galaxy. Some people don't realize how big space really is. There's over 200 billion stars in our galaxy alone and likely at least 5 billion planets in the Goldilocks Zone

I believe there's life out there not that far away and our planet was seeded. I've always found it extremely unlikely that dinosaurs dissapeared immediately after the K-T event. I believe it would be the first time in the Earth's history that an entire clade of vertebrae disappeared in the blink of an eye. Only 80% of animals went extinct, you're telling me not even one example of dinosaurs could survive past a million years after that event? Sure many dinosaurs were already evolving into birds before the event but there should have been at least a few evolutionary dead ends going on 10s of millions of years afterwards. I think aliens came down a weeded out the dinosaurs so intelligent life(mammals)could evolve more rapidly. Similar to pruning a seedling tree you planted so you can get the desired shape you want in the years to come.

All big animals went extinct cause they didn't have food

Mammals didn't become remotely intelligent until millions of years after dinos went extinct

[Long Duck Dong]

True but there were lots of small dinosaurs. It's kind of confusing since supposedly 20% of animals survived the K-T event but only around 5 wingless ground dwelling bird species survived according to scientists. There were many small ground dwelling dinosaurs and not all were carnivorous. There had to have been a lot less than 20% of vertebrates to survive the mass extinction. Scientists don't really know what happened and the current official version doesn't really make sense to me. Also vertebrates with slow metabolisms seemed they fared a considerably better right after the event like reptiles, crocodiles and mammals like monotremes, which leads me to believe small dinosaurs were warm blooded if they did indeed go extinct naturally.

There have been multiple extinctions before dinosaurs and after dinosaurs for different reasons. It wasn't the first nor the last.

[Long Duck Dong]

Nope but it would be the first time an entire clade of vertebrae, or at least terrestrial vertebrae, basically disappeared overnight. You'd figure at least one dinosaur fossil would have been discovered more than a million years after the K-T event but nope. Not even one. The synapsids which eventually evolved into mammals and the diapsids which evolved into 2 branches, *lizards and snakes on one, crocodiles and dinosaurs on the other, took around 50 million years to complete.

*Edit I meant to say Lizards not reptiles(although the term "reptiles" as we know it is outdated and will probably go extinct very soon)

There were Permian-triassic Extinction 250 million years ago and Triassic-jurassic Extinction 210 million years ago. Both took out mass numbers of vertebrae (https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/dinosaurs-ancient-fossils/extinction/mass-extinction), including terrestrial vertebrae, long before the well-known one we all know from 65 million years ago.

As for why mammals survived, here's an explanation from a Penn State professor: https://www.psu.edu/news/research/story/probing-question-why-did-mammals-survive-k-t-extinction/

[TheMan]

People just have a hard time grasping how enormous space is. When we look up in the sky and see all those stars with the naked eye, most folks see them bunched up together and think they are relatively close when in fact they are hundreds, thousands, millions of light years apart, and that's just in our galaxy. Space is unfathomably huge, our brains can't quite register those kinds of dimensions. Planets with life might not even be that far from us, in relative terms of course. We just don't have the technology to detect them nor would we even know how to recognize it. We only have our planet as an example of life, life might be possible with a different combination of chemical elements. What I find hilarious is that we often think alien life would be similar to most life here, two eyes, ears, a mouth in around the same area of the face, two arms and two legs, etc...but alien life would most likely look nothing like how life is on Earth, and like I said, we might not even be able to recognize it even if we can "see" it.

What do you mean not one dinosaur fossil was discovered 1 million year after the K-T event?

Mass numbers of animals yes. But an entire clade of vertebrates? To me it seems unlikely unless all small dinosaurs possessed an incredibly high metabolic rate in which case they were certainly warm blooded. Even then I find it amazing that not even one example couldn't squeak out an existence a mere million years after the extinction event. The sauropods obviously weren't going to make it, even an extinction event half as bad as the K-T probably would have wiped them out but there were lots of tiny theropods running around the size of a cat or smaller. Not even one could make it?

I meant there are no dinosaur fossils discovered that suggest them surviving more than a million years into the Tertiary Period

I work between 7am to almost midnight M-F. I post in between breaks. As such I'm rushed a lot of times and tend to make a lot of grammatical and structural errors. There's probably quite a few in this post too :lol

The ones who survived were those who were vegetarian (theropods are not) and those that could seek shelter inside an underground burrow (which dinosaurs were known to burrow underground??). Once they came out after the initial asteroid strike, mammals could eat insects and surviving underwater plants.

Regardless, 80% of all species died. Entire subgroups disappeared overnight so it wasn't just dinosaurs. Majority of mammals died out along with majority of aquatic animals. Very few survived the k-t event.

As for your hypothesis of aliens coming down and eliminating dinosaurs specifically... Why complicate things further with that when you have a much simpler hypothesis in front of you above?

[Long Duck Dong]

The ones who survived were those who were vegetarian (theropods are not)

Scientists now believe there were lots of theropods that were herbivores or omnivores judging by their teeth. Just like there are many omnivores and largely herbivore animals in the Carnivora order. Keep in mind modern birds are now considered theropods and most do not eat meat. There were also true dinosaurs other than theropods and sauropods.
