So, how is the happy mom? How many boys and how many girls?
Just cause we can, doesn’t mean we should.
As Dana Loesch said the other day: “This is horror movies begin.”
The Thing has a remake of a remake.

This is the worm that killed the dinosaurs.
This is something we did not need.
Mongolian Death Worms are a thing—not that big though—maybe five foot? I tried to get abhold of one for our small little traveling sideshow—I failed, but did get an atomic worm from the sands of New Mexico...creepy things...And then there are the Malambos out of South Africa—river creatures that will drag a human down—and an occasional hippo...I had a baby Malambo on display for a while...Kept it in some vile smelling liquid...if finally went putrid and wasn’t much to show...
Best two exhibits though was a finger in a box and a two headed sock monkey. Go figure...Mermaids, Chupacabras and folks loved the two headed sock moneky...
What can go wrong?
Carbon-14 dating? No way to know if the decay rate is/has been constant (it's an assumption).
And we know there are things that slow the passage of time, like massive gravitational fields, for one. Are there others? Are we certain?
We are not even sure of the speed of light - we measure the time it takes to travel a measured distance and back, then divide by 2. But there is no way to know if its speed is the same both ways.
“What can go wrong?”
Put’em out back in the compost tumbler.
Let’s see what they got.
Humanity insists on bringing about its own destruction.
I only know the Kurt Russell one.
“ 46,000 years? How do they know that?”
Because they are “scientists,” and everyone knows that scientists are infallible. Kind of like God Himself. 🙄🙄🙄
Great. They brought back a dead species of round worm. I’m so happy.
A two headed sock monkey = a fabric Sock with two Monkey Doll heads sewn on..right?
I guess your group had already outgrown the standard hairy Tarantulas. Old Hat.

“Smilla’s father shows her medical x-rays from the report, which reveal that a type of lethal, prehistoric “Arctic worm,” long thought to be extinct, apparently was the cause of the “accidental” deaths of mine workers. When the worm entered individual’s bodies and attacked organs, it caused toxic shock and death.”
Artic prehistoric worm threads actually show up fairly regularly.

Radioactive decay is independent of temperature and gravity. Here is a recent review of the research in this area:

On the other hand, we know that the speed of light is variable. It is affected by gravity and density. It is slower in water than in air, and faster in outer space.
