DINOSAURS!! (We didn't stop to think if we should, oops)
This week we try something a little different — the ⚡️THUNDER ROUND ⚡️ as Jeff Goldblum says in Jurassic Park Uno, “Your [science nerds] were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should!”In this special episode, Julian and Trace snagged every dinosaur related question we could fit in a shaving cream can. Then, like a couple of velociraptors in a kitchen we made a huge mess of things. There’s a new Jurassic World movie, so we figured if not now — then when? Maybe people are going to go DINO-CRAZY! (we hope). If you have a Jurassic-leaning friend send them this episode; we spared no expense on it!QUESTIONSJulian:“How is it possible for the largest male dinosaurs to mount the females?” from Stephen“What if the dinosaurs were able to evolve further- would they have eventually gotten to "human" level brains/consciousness?” from Tori“What if dinosaurs weren’t wiped out what would things be like?” from Sam“What if pterosaurs had survived the mass extinction that wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs?” from Adele“What would have happened if the meteor that caused dinosuars to go extinct never hit the earth?” from Steven“What would happen if a meteor hit a flat earth?” from TylerTrace:"If there had been an intelligent dinosaur species which evolved some civilization, would we able to detect it?" from Udo (?)“What does a dinosaur taste like?” from Pat”How likely would it be for something like Jurassic park to exist in the near future?” from MayaDo you have an absurd question?
