Maybe gravity increased and dinosaurs could no longer survive

Oh, the neutrinos might have roughed up the dinosaurs a little bit, but kill them?
Naw.
Break a leg maybe.
Throw them down some stairs.
OK.
But they weren’t killers.
Now, black holes? Black holes is killers. They’ll off you just for lookin’ at ‘em wrong.

Don’t ever ever look into a black hole. If you do the dinosaurs they killed will rush out and eat you.
To: blueunicorn6
And you never see a black hole coming because they suck up all the light....

Trump killed the dinosaurs, except for a Triceratops he gave to son Barron for his 10th birthday as a pet. Neutrino, Schmutrino... Nonsense.

Biological Effects of Stellar Collapse Neutrinos
J. I. Collar
Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 999 Published 5 February 1996
Abstract — Massive stars in their final stages of collapse radiate most of their binding energy in the form of MeV neutrinos. The recoil atoms that they produce in elastic scattering off nuclei in organic tissue create radiation damage which is highly effective in the production of irreparable DNA harm, leading to cellular mutation, neoplasia, and oncogenesis. Using a conventional model of the galaxy and of the collapse mechanism, the periodicity of nearby stellar collapses and the radiation dose are calculated. The possible contribution of this process to the paleontological record of mass extinctions is examined.

Great.
Now I’ll get another time out.
Last time I got a time out was for writing f**k too much because I was mad that those Afghans had killed one of our Soldiers.
You can sure as hell bet I’ve cleaned up my language since then.

You’re thinking of modern neutrinos.
Way back when they had yer saber toothed neutrinos.
Now THEY were killers.

My Grandma used to say that, too.
Right before they hauled her off to the nut house.
She was never eaten by a dinosaur, though.
She died captaining a pirate ship.

Neutrinos, they are very small,
They have no charge and have no mass
And do not interact at all.
The Earth is just a silly ball
To them, through which they simply pass
Like dust maids down a drafty hall
Or photons through a sheet of glass.
They snub the most exquisite gas,
Ignore the most substantial wall,
Cold-shoulder steel and sounding brass,
Insult the stallion in his stall,
And scorning barriers of class,
Infiltrate you and me! Like tall
And painless guillotines, they fall
Down through our heads into the grass.
At night, they enter at Nepal
And pierce the lover and his lass
From underneath the bed - you call
It wonderful; I call it crass.
