If The Meteor That Wiped Out The Dinosaurs Was 1 Second Early

or 1 second late.. it would have missed the earth, and the planet  would still be ruled by dinosaurs.

Crazy, huh? Kind of wish it never happened. But I wouldn't be around to know the difference.

You think it is a coincidence. It is not coincidence. In fact, there is nothing like coincidence, everything has its causality. A tiny blade of grass has an impact on the sun, and the sun has its impact on the blade of grass. The universe is a totality, indivisible; it is an organic whole. The parts are not separate, we are all existing in a togetherness.

What do you mean it would have missed the earth if it was 1 second late?

@Schulzy Imagine if the bulls eye on a dart board was moving in an elliptical pattern, at a very fast pace of 30 kilometers per second (the earth's speed of orbit around the sun). The timing on the dart throw has to be just perfect in order to hit the bulls eye. If it's a second early or late, it misses it completely.

As Prabhaker mentioned, there's really no such things as flukes or coincidence. But it's fun to think about a little bit.

Well that is really crazy. 

+ all the stuff that happened before just so we could now talk about it on the forums
