[QUOTE="BillTre, post: 6267511, member: 581757"] I voted for the cultured archaean because finally visualizing its structure is actually a big advance. This to me (biological point of view) is a big deal. I also liked the black hole image (not a visual picture as many have said!). but it seems to me to be, although very cool and interesting, more of a confirmation of things already known than a revelation of something new. The Chicxulub impact (this [URL='https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/asteriod-collision-65-million-years-ago-in-the-mexican-gulf.977285/#post-6233701']PF thread, post #3[/URL], has several links to this issue), but it would have been (to me) more impactful (yes, that's intended) if it were grouped with other dino-impact information that has come up this year (such as the finding of the fossil graveyard from the day of the impact ([URL='https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/dinosaur-tomb-raider.969166/#post-6156867']PF thread here[/URL]), sadly not yet really published) and an [URL='https://www.pnas.org/content/116/45/22500']article showing volcanic events were probably not so important[/URL] (PF thread [URL='https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/chicxulub-dinosaur-killing-impact-also-responsible-for-acidifying-oceans-and-killing-ocean-life.979380/']here[/URL])to the dinosaur extinction as some thought. These tell an interesting and detailed story about what happened on Earth millions of years ago. [/QUOTE]
