Every other Wednesday we present a new video, so join us to see the truth laid bare...
This spectacular five-part documentary series, presented by Tony Robinson, investigates the history of natural disasters, from the planet's beginnings to the present, putting a new perspective on our existence and suggesting that we are the product of catastrophe.
99% of all the creatures that have ever lived, no longer exist. They were wiped-out in a series of global catastrophes. Each disaster changed the course of evolution on earth. Without them mankind, nor any of the life we see around us, would be here today. For out of catastrophe comes rebirth. Evolution is a savage, imperfect and violent process. It's survive or perish. The earth's history of catastrophes has both moulded the planet and determined evolution. For each disaster led to another leap forward on the evolutionary trail form single celled bacteria to humankind itself.
Episode 4 - Asteroid Impact
Dinosaurs rose up as rulers of Earth around 230 million years ago, eventually dominating all other species and relegating mammals to the shadows. But 65 million years ago their planet was rocked by yet another massive event when, seemingly out of nowhere, the mighty dinosaurs were wiped off the face of Earth. But without this devastating catastrophe, humans would not be here today.
This film explores the trail of clues that lead to what extinguished the dinosaurs and ultimately led to the evolution of humans. Cutting-edge scientists, palaeontologists and geologists investigate what could be responsible, and chart the story behind the widely held theory that Earth was hit once again by a deadly asteroid.

    Something that has never been mentioned before is that history lovers like myself, who have watched many documentaries which have featured Tony Robinson as host, and have learned to appreciate this man long after his days with ‘Black Adder’. And now this history lover is currently pursuing interests in space, science, physics, etc.. So watch out… because I’m about to bring you under the microscope. Just like Tony Robinson will. So please don’t act like this is some cute novelty, because it isn’t. Historians will bring all science to it’s knees. Tony will force the questions which will either hold up your theories, or reduce them to fallacies. Do not take Tony lightly, for he comes for the truth. Any thin scientific theory will be quickly torn asunder by Tony Robinson, so give him more respect please and thank you. He is far greater than simply the man who played Baldric in Black Adder.

    Very disappointed that you left out many important names from these events: 1978: Glen Penfield, the Pemex engineer, who found the first evidence (rings) of this crater formation. 1980: Walter and Luis Alvarez, who posited the KT impact as the extinction event. 1981: Alan Hildebrand, who posited the Caribbean area as the impact site. 1990: Hildebrand and Penfield found shocked quartz samples in Pemex drill samples. It didn't take some brainy chick in 1996 to put this all together. Ocampo and her team just confirmed what was already known. She says so herself her findings were the LAST piece of the puzzle. It would have been nice to recognize those who put together almost all of the puzzle before her.

    James Meyers We will eventually, no matter how hard we try to prevent it. That's just how it works. Nearly all species that have ever lived are now extinct, and we sure aren't going to be the ones to be the odds. We try to extend our lives while we destroy others and just about everything around us. That evolutionary math just doesn't compute.

    Alex Lubbers I believe that’s the current theory. The asteroid impact was a catalyst, and it wiped out what was within the immediate area of effect, but the subsequent eruptions from multiple super volcanoes was what sealed the fate of most of the dinosaurs. The survivors evolved into the birds that we have today.

    I still don't understand how that proves that an impact caused the mass extinction, though. The Deccan Traps were open around this time. All the other mass extinctions were caused by flood basalt. So when we know such a venting event was open during a mass extinction, it is definitely a bit weird that people look anywhere else. There even seems to be a 1:1 correlation between the vent size and duration and the amount of species killed off. Except in this one case where an asteroid killed everything somehow. I just don't buy it. There is no mechanism I know of that really explains why species halfway around the world would have died because of this. But they did. All the non-avians disappeared. A short period of cold does not explain that for me. Life is rugged and very, very adaptable. You need more than a bit of cold. Most animal skin cells are very responsive to change as well. Scales are modified hair and will change quickly to insulate animals. Some of them somewhere would have survived if this was all because of a single asteroid.

    Does anyone other than me appreciate how resilient and special our little planet really is, yes I'm sure most of you do, the fact that the Earth can rebound from such punishment is truly awesome. Would such an impact as described here have some affect on the Earth's rotation and orbit? P.S. I wonder when the next impact will be, best to live life to the fullest while we can I think.

    +Dan NZ Hello, Dan, I have often pondered that same question. I postulate ; The earth is rotating on an axis which is roughly 22 degrees off perpendicular from the plane of its orbit. It also wobbles taking roughly 26,000 years to complete one "wob". I believe this is the result of just such an impact. I have seen no correlating evidence of this but I am not the type to look. I have carried this to its logical (or so it seems to me) next step. Suppose humans were to correct this orbital anomaly? What if we employed hyper orbital tethered satellites H.O.T.S. at each of the poles. These H.O.T.S. would be semi satellite- sized hollow orbs into which we could pump (or suck, space is a vacuum) sand from the Sahara and muck from the Marianas trench. One tethered to the north pole and one at the south far enough out to gently tug the rotating axis back in line and then with just the right amount of spin (like the "English" on a pool ball) the tethered satellites were release at just the right moment to cause the planet to rotate on an ever shifting axis. The goals being; 1. Eliminate the extremes of sever summer and winter in favor of perpetual spring World wide, So that all areas of the surface got just enough sun light to be temperate. 2. Thaw out the poles and diverting that fresh water to the now excavated Sahara desert creating a huge fresh water lake from which to irrigate the entire area for farming, 3. Thaw out Antarctica and use it for all the deviants, miscreants and malcontents to live on ( with the money we would save on heating bills we could build a dome over Arizona and refrigerate it for the polar bears and seals) What we need ;1. A suction system to load the H.O.T.S. with maybe a space vacuum, 2. A one world government. Seriously, this is all tongue and cheek, Just something to mention at parties when everyone feels giddy( drunk, stoned, hallucinating, whatever). I realize it could never really happen. For one thing North Korea would never agree. Cheers.

    +WHEREISTHEREASON Thank you so much for the first rational and well thought out comment that I have read in a long time, your reply is very refreshing and reinforces my hope for the future of mankind, thank you. I read only this morning that a group of physicists in Canada have validated and proven my previously documented theory of gravity and my understanding of the universe as a whole 100%, and it has nothing at all to do with a so called "Big Bang" and I'll bet they are getting paid an awfully large amount of money to sit around and figure out what I could have told them for free :-( This was on TV; www.tvnz.co.nz/ondemand/what-happened-before-the-big-bang/15-12-2015/series-1-episode-1 I guess that you need a string of worthless letters and qualifications after your name before you and your understanding of the universe in which we live is taken seriously.

I did find however: "The Heart has Reasons that Reason knows not of" (another French saying) which made the search worth while! Rob :O) PS: I will continue digging around for the Phrase in question. My hunch now is that it may have appeared in something Victor Hugo wrote on Shakespeare (which was a commentary (3 volumes of!) on his Son's translation of same into the French).

    The graphics were good, but they'd have been better if they would've actually made the clouds on whatever background image they were using actually move as the entire atmosphere was supposedly being disturbed. ;-) Nice doc at any rate, that's my only criticism.

    No one ever shows exactly how it was because a meteor traveling that fast would hit the ground almost immediately. It wouldn't make a majestic terrifying vision blazing across the sky, it would just scream into existence out of nowhere and impact in 3 seconds.

    It's amazing the earth could withstand such an impact without splitting in two.
