Chapter 1168 The Fifth Dimension (1/2)

The Chicxulub impact brought an end to one of Earth's great eras before the planet

entered its Ice Age, which lasted until the Cenozoic era arrived.

”The Wilkes event happened right in the Cenozoic era, in fact, the Eocene Cenozoic,

about 58 to 36 million years ago.”

”But as you can see, this meteorite is supposed to be bigger, so much bigger than the

Chicxulub meteorite, which created an era when life was off limits. This meteorite,

therefore, should have started an era when life was nearly extinct a longer period of

time, and possibly even destroyed all life on earth!”

”However, it didn't happen. The meteorite impact was limited to the region now known

as Antarctica, and the effect was comparatively very mild. It just destroyed the region's

ecological environment at the time. Why is this so? ”

Li Du looked at Steve doubtfully, shrugged and said, ”You tell me, I did not research this

and can't possibly guess.”

Steve licked his lips and suddenly changed the topic. ”The water divers in China and the

United States are quite impressive. Our divers often have a good performance at the

Olympics. Have you ever seen water diving before?”

Li Du nodded. ”Certainly, but what does this have to do with that?”

Steve made a gesture with his hand. ”There is a very important part of the diving score,

and that is the water splash caused by diving into the water. If the diver wants to get a

good score, they have to learn how to minimize the water splash.”

Sophie seemed to understand. She said, ”If you actively minimize the water splash, the

human body will only disturb a small amount of water, and can even keep the surface

almost calm. If you don't do that, you're going to drop like a dead weight and make a big

splash.”

”You're trying to say that when this huge meteorite came down to earth, it did this

consciously. Or someone helped minimize its impact…”

Steve snapped his fingers. ”Yeah, that's it!”

Then he looked at Li Du with an envious look. ”You lucky bastard, I don't know why you

are so fortunate. You can pick up treasure in warehouse auctions or find yourself an

amazing girlfriend. Sophie is incredible!”

Li Du cuddled Sophie proudly and said, ”That's because I am a good person. God

always blesses good people.”

”Yes, God has blessed mankind,” Steve nodded ”This meteorite impact has a geological

and archaeological name: God crushed water!”

”I would rather believe aliens helped the earth than God,” said Li Du.

Steve looked straight at him and said, ”What if it was neither of those? What if humans

worked to reduce the meteorite impact?”

Li Du was puzzled. ”Humans? How does that make sense? How could there be any

human on earth at that time? The impact took place in the tertiary era and humans only

appeared in the quaternary, after tens of millions of years.”

Steve nodded. ”Yes, you're right. But what if people from the future went back in time

and reduced the impact?”

Li Du laughed out loud and said, ”Haha, how could that be? I would rather believe that

aliens did this.”

Steve said helplessly, ”See, I told you. I didn't want to tell you my theory, not because I

wanted to keep it a secret, but because I knew you would not believe me.”

Li Du stopped laughing immediately, and after a long pause, he said, ”It is not that I
