And it's still intact.


An international team of researchers has discovered a dinosaur egg fossil that is estimated to be at least 66 million years old and has a fairly well preserved and intact embryo inside. According to the press release from the University of Birmingham, U.K., the fossil provides important clues about the evolution of features that we see in modern-day birds.

"Dinosaur embryos are some of the rarest fossils and most of them are incomplete with the bones dislocated," said Fion Waisum Ma, Ph.D., one of the primary authors of the study and a researcher at the University. "We are very excited about this discovery. It is preserved in a great condition and helps us answer a lot of questions about dinosaur growth and reproduction with it."

"Um, I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here, it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you're selling it, you wanna sell it. Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."

Don't Look Up has me thinking a lot about the dinosaurs and the people refusing to believe in climate change (there's a difference between those who disagree with why the climate is changing and those who don't believe in it at all).
