What really caused the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event? For years, scientists debated the cause, but a groundbreaking 1980 study changed everything.
In this video, we explore the "Extraterrestrial Impact Hypothesis" proposed by Luis and Walter Alvarez. We break down the discovery of massive Iridium anomalies found in boundary layer clays across Italy, Denmark, and New Zealand. Discover why the data points to a massive asteroid—calculated to be 10 ± 4 kilometers in diameter—rather than a supernova. We explain the science behind the "Global Darkness" theory, how pulverized rock dust suppressed photosynthesis, and the chemical evidence that ruled out other theories.
Dive into the geological detective story that solved one of Earth's greatest mysteries.
