Holy moly. That would mean the rings are temporary, and that even Jupitor may get, then lose, rings. Thats mind boggling.

Thanks null and void for the link. I had a belly laugh about this having come from the SETI Institute, Sagan must be rolling over in his grave.

Jupiter does have rings.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rings_of_Jupiter
Also, Jupiter’s moons are mostly very small, but those small moons are mostly moving in retrograde orbits, which means, gravitational capture, and eventual kersplat into Jupiter. Most satellites in prograde orbits will, through tidal transfer of momentum, gradually get pushed off off and away.

OK.
Things younger than the dinosaurs.
1. Rap music.
2. The Ford Mustang.
3. Barbara Streisand.
Whoops! Turns out Barbara Streisand is older than the dinosaurs.
Sorry.

So if we bring the dinosaurs back, they’ll be suspicious because Saturn has rings now. Something won’t look right.
To: SunkenCiv
No fair! It’s bad enough that the dinosaurs are extinct, now they’re being called older than the rings of Saturn.

Moons of Saturn May Be Younger Than the Dinosaurs. . . is definitely an Electric Universe topic in that it challenges the steady state cosmology which holds that everything has been about the same for billions of years. Electric Universe PiNG!
If you want on or off the Electric Universe Ping List, Freepmail me.

"The last dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago."--me
But the first ones appeared 200 million years ago.
But then they should have said "Moons of Saturn May Be Younger Than SOME Dinosaurs...", as opposed to THE Dinosaurs.

Heck. I’m turning sixty in a week. I never was good with ‘rithmetic. Does that mean I die out in five years or five million?
