Extremely well written and fascinating story on a competing theory for the mass extinction. still not convinced that the generally accepted Alavarez Asteroid hypothesis is wrong. Worth a read nonetheless.
- jhbadger 8y agoThat's the thing in pop science though. String theory is generally accepted -- so write about the iconoclasts who reject it. Asteroid accepted as the end of dinosaurs? Write about the iconoclasts there.
