As if 24 hrs a day wasn’t long enough

Sorry for the hiatus, it appears that our days have became shorter.

Chile earthquake slows Earth rotation.

 

On more recent news, it appears that scientists has finally found out what killed the dinosaurs exactly. So don’t worry, you do not need to retell the stories to your kids, it was asteroid after all.

Not surprisingly, the evidence is claimed to be “rock solid” with 75% of the dinosaurs wiped out and practically an absence of life following the impact. The impact kicked up dust clouds that blotted the Sun and snuffed out the photosynthesis food chain. (Like the Matrix movie really.) It took nearly ten years before sunlight penetration returned to normal, and by that time, all but the smallest creatures have been wiped out.
