“Life finds a way” is very befitting to our world. It’s extraordinary how all living things are set on finding a way no matter the situation
No not all living things some things go extinct how many dinosaurs do you see running around you see only the remnants of the original not the original
Nice to know that Adam Driver witnessed it and survived till date 🙂

I feel so sad about the dinos... Literally an unavoidable genocide, total extinction. How would they feel and their emotions, about survival, about their families, about death. 😞
Probably very little. Scans of their skulls show zero regions in their brains for higher cognitive functions like emotions or thought. The had similar designs to crocodiles and alligators. Eat, mate, sleep, that was pretty much it.
They would have dino therapists if still alive today

@@WhatIfScienceShow Thanks for the invitation! Your channel is interesting))
@@WhatIfScienceShowWhat If this channel didn't existed? Make a video on this topic 😁😁
What effort? It's all stolen footage and plagerized script
What astounds- and terrifies the sh*t out of me - is that the dinosaur killing asteroid was just a "mere" six miles wide, as opposed to the nearly 8,000 mile diameter of the earth. But a six mile wide rock was still capable of changing the course of the history of life on earth. What if it had been, say, 10, 15, 20, or more miles in diameter? Would life have been able to carry on at all? Would I even be here to ask this question? And what if it was to occur tomorrow?
that's why i don't believe it...
@@ezekwuomg so i’m not alone. how is a 6 mile asteroid would not be enough to destroy an entire species and ONLY the dinosaurs????
@@askiavance3281exactly, and changed the whole climate on the earth...
Well there was something like that much earlier durning the formation of The Moon. It was around 4 billion years ago when earth was just an ocean of lava. There was a collision with another planet I. the solar system. That planet is called Peia. Scientists estimate it was roughly the size of Mars. Imagine that impact. The result was catastrophic. Both planets were pretty much destroyed it it took hundreds of millions of years for the gravity to pull everything back together. Uncountable tons of Earth's crust were flung into space and the gravity of our planet pulled them closer creating our moon. at the time it was much closer to Earth. Our planet also had no life back then and a day lasted only six hours. This theory as to The Moon's creation is the most likely out of 3 other scenarios as elements of Earth's crust were found on the Moon. So if an asteroid was bigger like you asked, chances are that our planet would have been obliterated.
It is a theory i must stress
Big respect and honour to planet wild‼️💯
Maybe am out of context but can you go into details and make a video about dwarf planets and how they came to be dwarf. Thank you for the content very informative.
what if that asteroid missed earth do you think dinosaurs would still exist 66 million years later??
They would become pets or food for humans
They probably would have died in the ice age
@@michaeltran2743 Humans wouldn't get the chance to evolve if the dinosaurs still were around.
@@michaeltran2743 We might not have been here at all. Initially humans needed all the help to evolve. Even mammals would have been a very small part of overall life.
This has been very useful for my own research thankyou
Thank you for including the imperial measurement system in your video! We Americans appreciate it!
I would love if T Rexs and Meglodons were still around,
In future videos, would you mind showing the conversion for the imperial system when you give measurements and the temperature?
Can you do a video on what if every one was hooked on drugs … how productive would the world be … or how ppl say if we all smoked weed there would be no crime or wars… I’d love to see a video on that
The fact they are using some of the 100th clips are hilarious 😂 I love it
After watching these videos of yours, I kinda think that we deserve whatever's happening. We have the ability to think but wasted what we had. As shown in your videos, the planet bounced back even after suffering that much. So yeah...
how did the american crocodile lived
(live)
This makes me wonder if humans get extinct in few million years or even less, I think a new form of life will rule Earth but before that, Earth would make a tremendous transformation like how it did after Dinosaur's extinction.
humans were placed here my friend, God is real.
Us humans are only an experiment the next stage is being put together now .
@@daMillenialTruckerDrugs can make you imagine things. 😂
Humans probably will go extinct at some point. In fact, it is a certainty. The only question is whether some of our descendants will evolve enough to continue to survive on an ever changing planet. But if we do go extinct, then the bigger question is will there ever be another species on earth capable of developing civilizations. That is unfortunately, not very likely. It would have to be similar to primates with the ability to use tools and with big enough brains capable of higher reasoning skills. So far, humans are the only ones who managed to get this far. Other than primates, there are no current species of animals capable of using the tools necessary to build an advanced civilization. It is very likely that when we go extinct, the earth will never again have any form of civilization again.
Give props to the cameraman 💀

Godzilla no es real, pasa eso por tu cabeza
human activity has made the creature distinct faster than any natural disaster
It's amazing how life comes back there is a fire that burns and all nature comes back apart from your history of your family if there things burn they can not be replaced
How could we really know what happened 66 million years ago?
exactly!! How..?
True
This is all just guess!
Nope. It's not a guess. It's by studying sedimentary rock and the ocean's floor
It's just a theory. But this is more believable than the big bang. That right there is worse than believing in Santa Claus.
I always wonder is it by pure chance we have intelligent life on earth? If the dinosaurs had never been wiped out would they be as intelligent as humans are now??? Or would they of stayed how they were just evolving to survive, if that’s the case then the fact intelligent life exists is almost a fluke, madness I know there habitable planets out there but are they habited by dinosaur creatures? Hence why we struggle to find any radio signals mind boggling to think about
yes , thank you Planet Wild
This was actually a very interesting video. I’m not even close to a nerd or someone who likes school but I find this kind of stuff very interesting and entertaining. I love learning if it’s something I enjoy. But math is not one of them 😂😂
I always felt the gravity of the Earth changed with the impact. It was so much stronger than the dino fell to the ground. It changed so much that dinos could no longer exist.
I agree
Actually that is not true. The gravity an object produces is based on the mass of that object and how far away you are from the object. The asteroid that impacted earth and killed off the dinosaurs was a little more than 1/30,000,000 of 1% of the mass of earth. So this asteroid made at best an immeasurably negligible change in the earth's gravitational pull. Kind of like people that believe the location of the planets and their gravitational pull at your time of birth have an influence over your future. The physician doing the delivery has about a 23% larger gravitational attraction to you than the sum total of all other planets combined. The physician is much smaller, but much much closer. The physician has a gravitational attraction to you of just over 1/150,000th of 1% of the earth's gravity. All other planets have a little less than 1/180,000th of 1% of earth's gravity combined.

Hi
Great vid! Perhaps one on Out-of-place-artifacts and the Salurian hypothesis??
thanks for this video it was acc well explained
I wonder what will be after humans
Have we ever found a burned dino fossil? I'm pretty sure they died in a flood. We always find them buried in mud or in whirlpool like formations.
Yes, we have actually. In the Hells Creek formation of Montana, we find dinosaurs with glass nodules burns in their bones, caused by the falling debris from the actual impact. We have also found fossilized animals killed by the hyper-tsunami caused by the impact. In China and Mongolia we have found dinosaur remains whose bodies show damage from extreme - over 200° - heat, fires and ash. We have found dinosaur remains closer the the impact sire in Mexico blown apart by the impact, and their bones baked in kiln level temperatures. Just because you WANT the Flood to be true, doesn't mean there's one speck of evidence for it. The Flood DID NOT HAPPEN.
@@michaelwillis8966 Do you all really believe this? Like seriously. If chickens are descendants of dinosaurs, how could that be possible, after all the dinosaurs died, without time to adapt and evolve? Another question, do you have any idea how long a million years is bud?
@@keystone6162 yes, I believe it, because literally all the evidence points toward that. And yes, modern birds are a form of avian Theropod (dinosaur). The fact you don't understand that when every single biological scientist worth their degree understands that is a YOU problem, not a problem with the facts. The dinosaurs didn't die suddenly and instantly. It happened over the course of quite a while, although the majority WERE killed on the day of the impact. The KT impact killed off a HUGE amount of Earth biosphere, but not ALL the biosphere, and that was where avian theropods - and BIRDS - survived. Birds had already evolved BEFORE the KT impact, so it wasn't a case of "gee, if the dinosaurs died out how did they evolve into dinosaurs". Birds were already there. And chickens didn't "evolve from T Rex's". The evolved from Avian Theropods, an off shoot of Theropod dinosaurs, of which the T Rex is a member - the Theropod group, not the Avian subgroup. It's like you've only listened to Ken Hamm or Kent Hovind and their idiocy instead of, oh, I don't know, picking up a book in actual evolutionary development and actual evolutionary science. I would highly recommend going a reading something on Evolution NOT published by a Creation "Science" institute.
@@keystone6162 they didnt all die, the conditions after the meteorite impact favored smaller dinosaurs and those smaller dinosaurs eventually evolved into birds
@@ValiskiI is that a theory or a fact? Is that the same meteor that cause an ice age? You accept this as fact too? So walk me through this dinosaur to bird evolutionary theory. So the meteor crashed, causing unimaginable weather and environmental impact, killed some things, but left other things that....
This video made me sad 😔
For anyone wondering, the asteroid is called the chucxulub asteroid
It's terrifying to think that we would be powerless to stop a 5-mile rock that will sanitize the planet.
Wow 😦😦😦
I read somewhere the Earth was already starting to recover from the asteroid, just mere days after the impact
not realy
That is a great explanation. Tho I was wondering. Can u do a “what if Dinosaurs didn’t get extinct and lived along with the humans”? It’s fine if u don’t want to.
I love u bro ❤
You can call me whatever u like but I just refuse to believe that every single dino died as if it was their destiny, some of them even surviving the blast, but still having to die, is all just a chance; a coincidence. And after hundreds of thousands of years, life comes back slowly but eventually, thus, beginning the origin of human beings. And the earth reinvents itself in a way that humans could inhabitate it too? There's simply no way all of this happened by chance. You can explain whatever science you have behind it, but there is definitely an extraterrestrial force behind all of this.
But maybe the ones that survived were so apart from others, there was no space to repopulate
This guy lived since the dinosaurs were here😂😂 he knows everything
Wow all these clips are from various channels 😮

genuinen question, how do people know all of this?
THE POWER OF SCIENCE!!!! AND EVIDENCE!!!
They didn’t go extinct they just got a Fortnite factory reset
Really?
You're a rising star! ⭐
It takes a lot more faith to believe in science explaining about what happened from then until now than it does in religion, because it seems that life reappeared spontaneously after all that destruction, but not with the interference of a creator but with some kind of evolutionism that evolved from toxic gases
Science has brought humanity a long way while religion holds us back.
