Science & Futurism with Isaac 2_extra credit

The video "What If The Dinosaurs Hadn't Died Off?" by AlternateHistoryHub explores a fascinating hypothetical scenario: what the world might look like if the dinosaurs had survived the catastrophic events that led to their extinction 66 million years ago. The video delves into various aspects of this alternate history, examining the potential impact on mammalian evolution, human development, and the planet's ecosystems.


The video begins with a brief overview of the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which wiped out the dinosaurs and allowed mammals to become the dominant life forms on Earth. It then explores the possible consequences if this event had never occurred. The narrative is engaging, combining scientific knowledge with imaginative speculation to paint a vivid picture of an alternate Earth.


One of the most intriguing points discussed is how the survival of dinosaurs might have affected mammalian evolution. Without the extinction event, mammals would likely have remained small and nocturnal, as they were during the age of dinosaurs. This scenario suggests that humans, if they evolved at all, might be very different from what we are today, or perhaps not exist at all. The video also examines how ecosystems would have evolved differently. The dominance of dinosaurs would have shaped flora and fauna in ways that are difficult to predict, but the video does an excellent job of exploring plausible outcomes. It considers the role of competition, predator-prey relationships, and environmental changes in this alternate history.


An interesting aspect of the video is its exploration of how human societies might have developed in a world where dinosaurs coexisted with humans. It speculates on the challenges humans would face in such an environment and how these challenges could influence technological and cultural advancements.


Watching this video was a stimulating experience. It made me appreciate the fragility and unpredictability of evolutionary processes and how small changes can have profound impacts on the course of history. The hypothetical scenarios presented were not only entertaining but also intellectually enriching, prompting me to think about how interconnected life on Earth truly is. "What If The Dinosaurs Hadn't Died Off?" by AlternateHistoryHub is an excellent example of speculative history done right.

W5.2 Introduction to Sociology/Religion

 1. Summarize  Religion is divided into sacred and blasphemy.  Religion can be divided into churches, denominations, and sects. There are cases of pseudo. Religion can also be used as a tool to justify any act. It is possible to justify bad behavior. Religion has the potential to become secular. Already in decline and secularization in the United States. 2. Mention new, learned, or my thought     I think the pseudo-problem in religious matters is serious at the moment. It is easy to see people approaching religiously just by walking around the streets. You can tell just by looking at the 'JMS' and 'AGAYA' cases  that the latest incident.  My friends also said that there were clubs in their university for pseudo missionary purposes.  Religion touches the conscious part of a person and teaches them about attitudes and thoughts in life. If such teaching was pseudo-instruction, not religious, I think it would have a great negative effect on a person's life.  In fact, it

W 15.1 Technology,_the_Internet,_and_Virtual_Worlds

1) Summarize The virtual world is a digital space that is different from the real world, organized through computer graphics, virtual reality technology, online games, and social media. This virtual world has a variety of influences on society. Some important influences include: Communication and Connectivity: The virtual world increases communication and connectivity between people. Social network platforms and virtual reality environments provide opportunities for people to interact and communicate anywhere in the world. This allows you to break down cultural, geographical, and linguistic barriers and share different perspectives and experiences. Economic Impact: The virtual world also affects the economy. The virtual economy builds a virtual currency and value exchange system, resulting in economic activity trading virtual items, virtual real estate, virtual services, and more. This allows some people to generate revenue and explore economic opportunities in the virtual world. Socia

W14.2 Race and Ethnicity_Kim Minji

1. summary Race is rooted in the idea of biologically classifying humans based on physical differences such as skin color, and ethnicity refers to social characteristics that are related to race but shared by a group of humans. The debate over how to understand race has continued, but the best way is to recognize that socially constructed boundaries overlap with biological/genetic factors. By recognizing the overlap between the two, you have a better understanding. 2. interesting point The phenomenon was interested in the phenomenon to adapt to native culture.It felt that the characteristic of their culture is gradually disappearing because of their culture is gradually disappearing, and it felt ironic that the native culture of the current development of the current development of the current developed countries.I thought that it is important to protect their traditional traditional culture and maintain diversity of culture. 3. question There are people who do racial discrimination.Ho
