Nothing lasts forever, be it phone battery, happiness, or the dinosaurs. Yes, as we all know, the dinosaurs were destroyed by an asteroid millions and millions of years ago. But was it really an asteroid, or was it … murder?

You see, when the asteroid had hit about 66 million years ago, it may have triggered some old volcanoes to begin erupting, which did lead to the eventual extinction. However, this is just one of the many theories that are currently circulating.
Some of the other theories include global heating and cooling, the atmosphere caused by the volcanoes, and of course, Colonel Mustard in the library with the candlestick.
While there are still some mysteries surrounding the extinction of the dinosaurs, it is pretty interesting to ponder. According to Dr. Courtney Sprain from the University of Liverpool, it was likely a one-two punch of both the asteroid and the volcanoes that lead to the extinction of the dinosaurs.
That is, if dinosaurs existed in the first place…
