Part 2/14:
The transcript begins with a spirited live intro, immediately plunging into a discussion about the asteroid impact that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. The speaker shares their knowledge about the geological evidence — particularly the enigmatic layer of iridium-rich rock dating around 66 million years ago, which scientists associate with a massive extraterrestrial collision. This impact is believed to have generated intense heat, melting rocks and creating a global extinction event where dinosaurs and countless other species perished within hours. The vivid imagery of bones embedded within this layer underscores the Earth's violent history, serving as a stark reminder of nature’s destructive power.
