According to a new study published in the journal Science, the mass extinction of dinosaurs may have been caused by a stock market crash.
Researchers analyzed fossil records and found that the sudden disappearance of dinosaurs coincided with a sharp decline in the stock market. They believe that the crash may have caused a severe economic downturn that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs.
The study’s lead author, Dr. Joshua A. Goldstein, said that the findings suggest that the dinosaurs may have been victims of the same economic forces that have caused so much hardship in recent years. “This is a very real possibility,” he said. “It’s something that we need to take seriously.”
The findings of the study could have implications for the current economy, as they suggest that a market crash could have catastrophic consequences.
