We have all heard stories about the asteroid strike on Earth 65 million years ago causing the mass extinction of dinosaurs. However, there are multiple theories surrounding the claims and every now and then we get to know a new fact. One theory that has been shared by Professor Brian Cox - Physicist, says that Jupiter deflected the asteroid towards Earth.
According to Professor Cox, in a video shared by @tech_topia, Jupiter has a massive mass. It has two and a half times greater mass than all the other planets and moons put together in the solar system, making it a dominant planet. He says that, after the Sun, it is the only planet with a profound gravitational influence. As scary as it sounds, Jupiter is known for its protection mechanism which shields the planet from other massive space rocks, but in one instance, instead of saving life, it actually ended up taking lives. In the case of the asteroid strike 65 mn years ago, it became a destroyer of life.
Cox says, “It is highly likely or possible that it was deflected into a collision course with Earth by Jupiter.” He further added that, “Jupiter is the creator and the destroyer of the worlds.”
Massive cosmic events such as an asteroid or comet strike occur infrequently. However, these cosmic events can also result in the extinction of species as happened 65 million years ago. Due to this asteroid strike, dinosaurs were driven into extinction.
According to a NASA report, the Chicxulub asteroid is suspected to have hit the Earth's surface and it had global-scale environmental effects that led to the nd extinction of the dinosaurs - the dominant species on the planet at that time. The event occurred in the Yucatan region of Mexico. The asteroid was 10 km to 15 km in diameter. In addition, a huge number of other species and much of the Earth's flora and fauna were also wiped out by this event both on land and in the ocean. However, this catastrophic event also caused the rise of mammals and the eventual rule of the planet by humanity.

Overwhelmed by the choices of movies and TV shows to watch online? There's a reason why.
Genshin Impact will be celebrating its introduction of Fontaine with a look back at the music that pulled so many fans into the anime game in the first place, but, unfortunately, tickets have been as difficult to obtain as you’d expect. The Genshin Impact concert tour is set to hit a list of cities around the world, but tickets sold out in mere minutes for the locations that opened up ticket sales.
Video games are meant to be an escape from the real world. At times, we often wonder “what it’s like to be the bad guys”. Well, in video games, we can find out. Here’s a few games that’ll help you with those feelings.
Ticket sales for Genshin Concert 2023 are now underway, and every location that has opened up so far has sold out almost immediately. Genshin Concert is a live orchestral performance showcasing some of the gorgeous music in Genshin Impact . Ticket sales are staggered based on location, with Singapore and Malaysia opening up first.
This discussion has been a long time coming. Since its inception, the term JRPG has been seen as a separate genre from the RPG, often used to identify RPGs that use turn-based combat. Along with this use comes the coming-of-age tropes that were (and still are) popular among Japanese audiences. Fast forward to the modern-day landscape, that term is still relevant and recognizable as a sub-genre of games that even Western developers have dipped their fingers into.
A closed beta kicks off later this month.
Full disclosure to start off with: the reason I’m not doing a formal scored review of Wrestlequest is because I did a stint of remote freelance writing for the developer, Mega Cat Studios. It wasn’t anything glamorous, but I got the opportunity during one of the lowest points in my life. COVID was in full swing, and I had lost my job. It helped me hold onto a shred of self-worth for a while. I faded off shortly after, but I enjoyed the time I spent collaborating with them.

Level Infinite has announced strategy game Command & Conquer: Legions for iOS and Android via a licensing agreement with intellectual property owner Electronic Arts. A closed beta test for Android (Google Play) will occur later in August in Australia, Canada, France, Mexico, New Zealand, and the Philippines, followed by a global launch later in 2023.
Videogame collaborations seem to be getting increasingly common and increasingly random. Nicki Minaj in Call Of Duty? Fortnite skins based on Mexican comedy shows from the 1970s? Pentiment characters in mediaeval strategy Inkulinati? Okay, that last one makes sense. But now, a team-up between management game Cult Of The Lamb and co-op survival gem Don’t Starve Together has joined the small club of fun but sensible crossovers. Games about cults and starving stick together, you know, so both games are celebrating each other’s birthdays with free updates.
