In einem neuen Video gehen #funk & @Kurz_Gesagt der Frage nach, ob es in der langen #Erdgeschichte schon einmal höher entwickelte #Kulturen vor uns gegeben haben könnte - und werfen auch einen Blick darauf, was wir womöglich einmal hinterlassen werden:

Ein interessantes Gedankenexperiment, das u.a. auch auf die sog. #SilurianHypothesis zurückgeht, wie sie z.B. 2018 von @ClimateOfGavin und @AdamFrank4 in einem im International Journal of Astrobiology (18(2)) veröffentlichten Aufsatz diskutiert wurde:

Ich gebe ehrlich zu, in dieser Frage weniger optimistisch zu sein.

Warum ein solches Szenario (bzw. dessen Nachweis) aus gegenwärtiger archäologischer Sicht sehr unwahrscheinlich ist, durften @drspacejunk und ich mit z.B. @JamieSeidel hier diskutieren:

A review of #deeptime 1

‘The mixture of voices create a kind of poetic conversation; diverse, in style and content. This leads to surprising discoveries and juxtapositions as we read through the volume, making this enriching and thought-provoking’
‘Stylistically, the poems range from short, word-rich imagist poems through to concrete poetry; they read as separate explorations, realising different reflections and representations that range from a sense of immersion and materiality to more spiritual reflections’
The accompanying illustrations by Rebecca Wainwright work sensitively with the poetry; this is a gentle, thought-provoking rather than a strident book.

The new #USPSTRexStamps depict the lifespan–from baby to fossil–of a T. rex. The remains of the “Nation’s T. rex” inspired the stamp art. A 1st Day of Issue Ceremony streams live at 11AM from the @smithsonian Nat'l Museum of Natural History @NMNH: s.si.edu/30U5vV2 ©USPS
@smithsonian @NMNH Discovered by chance in Montana in 1988, the Nation’s T. rex was amazingly & perfectly preserved in action with its jaws around a hapless Triceratops. This so called “death pose” is on view at the National Museum of Natural History @NMNH in its newly opened #DeepTime fossil hall
@smithsonian @NMNH "There is a sense of balance and tension in this pose...In fact, the T. rex is decapitating the Triceratops" according to @NMNH curator Matthew Carrano. If you haven't had a chance to visit the new #DeepTime fossil hall, you can check it out online: s.si.edu/2WkRG3i
