Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs by Lisa Randall Book Summary

In this brilliant exploration of our cosmic environment, the renowned particle physicist and New York Times bestselling author of Warped Passages and Knocking on Heaven’s Door uses her research into dark matter to illuminate the startling connections between the furthest reaches of space and life here on Earth.

Sixty-six million years ago, an object the size of a city descended from space to crash into Earth, creating a devastating cataclysm that killed off the dinosaurs, along with three-quarters of the other species on the planet. What was its origin? In Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs, Lisa Randall proposes it was a comet that was dislodged from its orbit as the Solar System passed through a disk of dark matter embedded in the Milky Way. In a sense, it might have been dark matter that killed the dinosaurs.

Working through the background and consequences of this proposal, Randall shares with us the latest findings—established and speculative—regarding the nature and role of dark matter and the origin of the Universe, our galaxy, our Solar System, and life, along with the process by which scientists explore new concepts. In Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs, Randall tells a breathtaking story that weaves together the cosmos’ history and our own, illuminating the deep relationships that are critical to our world and the astonishing beauty inherent in the most familiar things.

New favorite!. I read a lot of books about our universe, physics, and astronomy. As a layperson, this one really made an impact. The dinosaur part is important but just a sliver of the overall depth of information within. It more clearly defined some big topics, was well laid out, and easier to read without totally dumbing down. I highly recommend!

Tedious and unfulfilling. A whole lot of excuses as to the veracity of the dinosaur dark matter connection and I don't think even the author thinks there is an actual connection.
