Ultima Thule (Episode 27) - The Big Ones (Part 7)

In this final episode of the largest meteorites to have ever hit Earth we focus on the most famous impact of them all - the Chicxulub impact that killed the dinosaurs. We explore what living at the time of impact must have been like and learn about the science behind how we know that it happened. Despite the most accepted theory by mainstream science we also learn about how the story of Walter and Luis Alvarez demonstrates that different branches of science can come in to conflict with one another. What other theories for the mass extinction of life 66 million years ago are out there and how valid are they?
