How Did Dinosaurs Get Extinct According To The Asteroid Theory?
The asteroid theory was propounded by Luis Alvarez. He came up with a strange theory to prove that all the dinosaurs were killed off by the collision of an asteroid with the surface of the earth about 65 million years ago. It is surprising that people still consider this to be the truth, when it has been disproved. Asteroids contain about 100, 000 times more iridium than the layers of rock discovered by Alvarez that date back to 65 million years ago. The iridium also killed many plants and animals that existed on the earth around the same time as the dinosaurs. It seems absurd that the iridium killed the dinosaurs instantly, while the rest of the life forms died gradually. Even volcanoes contain dangerously high levels of iridium, but the molten matter that oozed out of them when the volcanoes collided with the asteroid did not spread onto the earth’s surface all at once as we are made to believe by Alvarez. There are sedimentary deposits dating back to over millions of years ago on th
