Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'asteroid impact'

An asteroid impact refers to the collision of an asteroid or meteoroid with Earth or another celestial body, potentially causing catastrophic environmental changes. Throughout Earth's history, such impacts have triggered mass extinction events, most famously the Chicxulub impact that likely contributed to the dinosaurs' demise 66 million years ago. In alternate history scenarios, altered impact events often serve as divergence points, exploring how human civilization might have developed differently had major impacts occurred at different times or locations.

What If The Cretaceous-Paleogene Extinction Never Occurred?

Exploring the alternate timeline where the asteroid impact 66 million years ago missed Earth, allowing dinosaurs and other Mesozoic species to continue evolving alongside mammals in a dramatically different world.

What If The Dinosaurs Never Went Extinct?

Exploring how Earth's evolutionary history and potentially human existence would have unfolded if the catastrophic asteroid impact 66 million years ago had never occurred.
