Time to revise the textbooks again, mammals may not have been so afraid of dinosaurs...

What's amazing is the pace at which we continue to find out and revise our knowlege of dinosaurs. Even wilder is that we only just discovered them 200 years ago.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

Can you imagine what that was like? Finding a ****ing alien in the ground? That must have been both exciting and absolutely terrifying.Originally posted by aparch View PostCode:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Also, how do we know that wasn't a scavenger?
This seems... handy wavy? When something just dies, there's always a first animal to take a bite.
The study authors say that the mammal wasn't scavenging the dinosaur because its bones have no bite marks. And they say that the position of the bodies suggests an active attack was in progress.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

The more I read this story the more it looks like "rat bites crocodile." I don't think it proves anything more than rats are crazy, which I already knew.

How do we know the mammal wasn’t defending its young from a perceived threat?Originally posted by aparch View Post

*shrug* To this and DX's post. There's a lot we probably don't know and are just assuming. Unless we could find similar evidence flash frozen in time it's going to be a guessing game.Originally posted by St. Clown View Post
A lot like how we just assume things about ancient civilizations until we unearth more evidence.
Another crazy thing to think about is how much evidence of past society, and even long past animals, was potentially destroyed in the original archeology digs.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

Keep an eye out for news on these superconductor papers. We may be living in a time where the first room temperature superconductor is found and incredibly, it's claimed to be producible with early 1900s tech with incredibly common materials. SO we should be able to have confirmation within a week or two.
A scientist with an h-index of 45 (meaning, he has 45 papers with at least 45 citations - an h-index of 45 is a pretty big deal) has attached his name to it and there's fighting over authorship between the two papers which have overlapping authors. This would seem to indicate people are fighting over who gets to fly to Sweeden.
Anyways, if this proves true, and that's still an insanely big if, we could be witnessing the beginning of a new technological revolution the likes of which we haven't seen since the invention of the transistor. Some examples of what RTSCs would mean:- Green energy has a step change reduction in cost and demand (for instance, zero resistance superconductor wires could have near lossless transmission between megainstallations of solar panels in the desert to the rest of the country)
- MRIs get their cost cut by at least half. THey could also be turned off at night.
- Quantum computers are suddenly much more feasible. Cold SCs are required to run them and even small changes in temp can basically shut down the computer.
- Fusion becomes more likely (supercold superconducting magnets required to contain the plasma could be replaced with RTSC, as I understand it)
- Battery tech could see a step change in efficiency.
- Middle east gets abandoned to the dustbin of history.
Suffice it to say, I'm really hoping this proves true. Unlike all of the other RTSCs in the past.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Seriously. I hate that priceless is just making decisions on what we can and can't share here. He's literally acting like Elon musk.
