Could Humans Survive the Dinosaur-Killing Asteroid? Featuring

[@melodysheep]

Featuring the uber-talented @LEMMiNO! Ok guys, this is my first time experimenting with an end-roll sponsorship message, which helped make this video possible. The sponsor is Ground News -- go to ground.news/melodysheep to see through misleading media narratives and find common ground. Sign up through my link to get 40% off unlimited access this month. I'm exploring hiring more artists to increase my creative output and support more independent creatives -- a sponsorship like this helps make it possible; let me know how this integration feels. This idea was originally going to be a sequence inside of THE HUMAN FUTURE, but the concept was too interesting to shoehorn into a larger video. I hope you all enjoy the ride. I'm cooking up some big stuff for 2024 -- stay tuned :)

Sure, there will probably be some bad apples in the group who will refuse, but as a collective, humans are capable of unbelievable things. In a situation where everyone's lives are on the line and nobody is safe anymore, the necessity to work together will be the only way to survive, and I'm pretty certain people would put aside their differences for that, even if it took the end of the world to happen.

Unfortunately, we might be able to survive an asteroid, since it's a clear and visible threat, but anything else and we just become too stubborn and disinterested, as demonstrated by the existential dangers of climate change and AI. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't even take the latter threat seriously, despite the fact that multiple eminent AI researchers have been repeatedly warning about its dangers (Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, Stuart Russel) and even logically it would follow that creating a set of beings that radically different from us not only in its thinking, but in powers and intellect might present grave danger to our species. *Being the second smartest species on Earth might not be that safe.*

And our ever-increasing technology makes us more so, not less, even if we've fucked things up a little in the meantime.

@@falconeshieldI’ve always thought about that. Is racism or hatred (shit, even the entire concept of hatred) toward the same species due to physical/mental differences or greed something that only humans inhibit ? Or is it something inevitable with intelligence life forms. I guess animals portray something like it when it comes to pack behavior/being hostile towards same species not of their pack, but you can also just say it’s natural selection/battle of the fittest. would it be possible for any intelligent life form to be able to completely work together while having a freedom of chose/not being a hive mind? I would think they would be conflict of interest, but would it be to the extent that humans have taken it? Not even countries, let alone states or counties, can work together to be on the same page really, as conflict of interest seems everywhere. It’s hard to fathom another species as large and smart (possibly even smarter) than the human race all work toward one unified goal. Typing this out made me even start thinking about emotions. Is it unique to humans? Can you love something or be happy if you don’t know what happens if something isn’t loved or don’t know what it feels to not be happy? I’m so fucking high

Dinosaurs: Tell me about it

[@Lukemaster130]

This would make a fantastic movie

[@ThePalaeontologist]

As a palaeontologist, the scale of the horror and loss of _that day_ at the K-Pg Boundary, as you correctly stated, the worst day of all time for life on Earth, is one of those especially moving and saddening things in palaeontology (and make no mistake, it has a _lot_ of competition in the history of life on Earth, whether on the smaller or the larger scale) There were nightmares beyond nightmares or the worst monsters in fiction, wrought that dreadful day. It is almost too enormous to come to terms with. Even with all my palaeontological training, even with my lifelong passion for prehistory and the natural world. The sheer ultra-violence and terror of _that day_ just brings me to stillness, quietness and lamentation. We wouldn't even exist without it having happened, yet part of feels this personal bond to that time. My favourite things in all the world - non-Avian Dinosaurs - amongst the ~3/4 of animal groups wiped out in the space of a variably short time (it is debated) The utter scale of the power unleashed, the unfathomable depths of suffering so many innocent animals faced. The confusion, the disorientation, the physical and cerebral onslaught. Even the survivors could be called the 'unlucky ones'. How, one must ask, does an animal fare when trapped in the dark, while starved and isolated? How much sentient suffering was going on worldwide, for hours, days, weeks, months and indeed, years? Comprehending the actual meaning of the K-Pg is one of the most profoundly unsettling and upsetting things anyone can do, and even (or perhaps, _especially_ should I say) as a palaeontologist, it is still most difficult to put into the right words to convey it's meaning, while doing any justice to it whatsoever. It was not just one causal factor, one side-effect, one of the immediate impact phenomena or the secondary disasters and tertiary disasters it unleashed. It was this cascade of death which would not stop, not let up and only end with the deaths of most living things on Earth. Even the surviving families and orders were ravaged to a point of near-extinction (some, were less depleted than all that, though mostly with massive population densities like various Arthropods and Insects; though of course, uncountable quantities, into the quintillions or more of invertebrates must have been obliterated along with the millions and billions of Vertebrate animals) A lot of folks just don't, 'get it'. When I glimpse at the K-Pg I see the worst day of all time. However, it's much more than that. I have an understanding of the subject, enough to see it in a level of clarity; clarity, which only brings more sadness when you stop and think about particular aspects. Sobering and horrible little moments of realisation, from understanding exactly what kind of trauma particular herding animals might face post-impact, to the miserable fates of the giant Pterosaurs caught in those devastating impact winds. Their graceful bodies, their impressive yet lightweight wings, mangled in the maelstrom. For many animals, it would have been a quick death. For plenty of others, it would have been a nightmarish and drawn out affair, potentially lasting months or even years. The scavengers had it good while the death biomass carpeted the ground. But after a point, they too ran out of options and began to tear each other apart, all under the ashen veil and shroud of darkness overhead. I can imagine a million and one ways in which so many specific animals may have been suffering. A million million calamities, cascading in slow-motion. And nothing and nobody to save those poor creatures. The sheer indifference and severity of nature, played out as harshly as it ever has been. When it comes to the K-Pg, and _that day_ in particular, it really depends on how much 'resolution' and focus I want to put into looking into it, on whether or not it will move me to the point of solemn tears. It may seem a strange thing for a hairy primate 66 million years after the fact to lament such a thing in such a manner. Though if you have loved this subject as much as I have, the poignancy and savagery of _that day_ can only bring you to silence and reflection. If people want to be crass about it they can make their Arnie 'ICE AGE' jokes (Batman) and laugh it off as some remote and long-ago thing we don't need to concern ourselves with. But I'm a palaeontologist. I have my eye on Deep Time and millions of years bygone, all the time. And let me tell you; there was no day worse than that which heralded the end of the Mesozoic Era. And I'm well-aware that overall, the end-Permian Mass Extinction (which killed off ~90% of life on Earth around ~251.9 Ma) was the biggest Mass Extinction ever. But it took place over at least 60,000 years (and had been thought to have transpired over 300,000 years in older sources) The thing is, though, that no other day could have been worse than the day the Chicxulub Impactor struck the Yucatan Peninsula. No other moment in Earth's history, was so destructive and ruinous. Sure, in terms of sheer energy release, the collision of Old Earth and Theia over 4.4 Ga would have been much more vigorous and powerful than any meteorite or asteroid impact (literally, two planets crashing together, to make a new and bigger one; plus our Moon, Luna) But all the same; nothing lived back then. It happened all in a lifeless, hellish world. It's not the same as a planet populated with remarkable animals, being turned into ashes and charred bones, after living on Earth for 167 million years at least (and probably over 170 million years; and ruling it for at least 140-150 million years) It's not the same as the most magnificent dynasty of Vertebrates _ever_ to exist, being driven to mass extinction, by the most cataclysmic day life on Earth ever witnessed. There is so much of a 'surface area' to it that it starts to boggle the mind and become quite upsetting. When you break it down to it's component elements and see it for what it truly was, it's not just the end of an era or the breaking of a venerable dynasty, it is the unmaking of the paradigmatic poetry of how life flowed in that era. It is the reforging of the evolution of life on Earth, following new rules and under new management. It is the purging of an entire way the world had once been. And it is very sad. The more you know about it, the sadder it gets. And so, in passing, I can glance over it, but if I delve into the deep ocean of suffering that it entails, then I find myself lost in thoughts of starving animals, bleak herd collapses and the behavioural irregularities of once thriving species, disoriented and whimpering in the dark. And that makes me wonder how humanity would fare. It was a 1 in 100 million year event, statistically speaking. According to planetary geologists and physicists. But it is still a dreadful thing to have to pick through. It's just nature at it's most cruel.

​@@MatthewTheWandererthe eastern part of the the world had already passed midnight by the time the comment was made. It seems rather self centered to state that we are in the end of the month.

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

@@Bronzescorpion No, it's not self centered. It is objective fact that this video was released on January 31st, 2024.

[@Bronzescorpion]

@@MatthewTheWanderer what no? That is not an objective fact. In order to make those crazy mental gymnastics, you literally have to ignore what I just told you, which by the way is an objective fact. By the time the video was uploaded it was February in some parts of the world. You can't rightly state it was uploaded January 31st without specifying the place as time is relative. Furthermore it doesn't even matter that the creator uploaded it the 31st at their time zone, because the comment would not be in the perspective to the creator, but the commenter. To give a great example. American TV shows releasing Sunday evenings are released Monday nights in Europe and are even advertised as such. It isn't because Americans gets it first, it is simply a matter of perspective. There isn't any objective release date, the official one would be in regard to the country of origin. It was a little naive to assume the self centered stance in the first place, but it is outright stupid to double down on it afterwards, when it clearly isn't a objective question.

Considering a lot of random species did survive, humans being able to calculate everything about it and know exactly where it’s going to land would be able to survive something much larger

[@rebelgaming1.5.14]

Humanity is quite potentially the greatest generalist species to ever evolve on this planet. We've figured out how to live in every climate on Earth, we can figure out how to make nearly anything edible, and we can build impenetrable bunkers that can potentially sustain themselves indefinitely. We've even proven capable of surviving catastrophically immense events before, as its estimated Humanity's sub 2,500 member population bottleneck was caused by one of the largest super-eruptions in known history. Even if 99.99% of the current population dies, that's still nearly 800,000 people who survive. As a result, I don't think there's a possibility of an event as catastrophic as this ending us. Barely any of us could survive and we'd still rebound. If we could survive in one of our most fragile states in our evolutionary history, we'd survive today. The dinosaurs didn't have what we do: Our collective intellect.

[@NicolasSchaII]

Yh, it's like… no offense to them, but dumb af creatures survived. We're not particulary gigantic creatues too, and we have certain advantages called the human brain, science and international cooperation

[@julianeder4699]

these random species didnt have to deal with all the man made structures we have today. -About 400 Nuclear powerplants that need maintainance (just think of chernobyl) which would put deadly radiation into the soil one would harvest the few remaining plants from -Other powerplants Gas stations and Pipelines that will go up in flames within less than a day causing never before seen wildfires without human intervention -Bioweapons, Chemicals... that are kept in facilities... which could escape -Millions of Oilrigs, Boats... that would spill all their oil and chemicals into the ocean devastating coastlines and the ecosystems within -Dams that would burst causing mass floodings -Builidings full of fiberglass Asbestos... that would crumble and spill their unhealthy payload I believe that some humans could survive but the impact something like this could have on the world would be comparable to the biggest mass extinction events in earths history for the majority of humanity aswell as most other species

[@stickmanblubbles4489]

Those guys are reliant on nutrients drifting down from above. I reckon they'd be very happy in the years following the impact as huge amounts of dead organisms fall down into the deep, but after a decade or two that would cease as the surface waters become completely devoid of life (and thus devoid of death), and the deep sea begins to starve. The hydrothermal vent bois are definitely going to keep vibing pretty hard tho

9:50 You missed the reality of the stand-off blast. With no atmosphere in space, theres no shockwave to propgate energy, a nuclear weapon becomes entirely radiation. The side of the rock facing the blast is basically cooked over a few nanoseconds and tons of material is instantly vaporized from the surface. The vaporization acts like a gigantic surface jet, shoving the asteroid pretty hard in one direction It has no risk of breaking the asteroid up because the force is distributed equally Youd line several of these up in quick succession to shove the rock with a specific number of total newton meters Its also completely doable with current technology, you just put warheads on much larger rockets
