Description
Short-ish sci-fi back-story brainstorm of my own!
What if somebody told you, or better yet, what if somebody proved to you that most of our understanding of the world and space around us is not entirely right?
What you see here in this image is one brief moment that took place in long history of our planet.
Specifically in this case, we witness one Dinosaur species being "stored" into, what we like to call "Black hole".
"What if black holes aren't what we think they are"?
Just as you and I would take pictures when visiting foreign countries so we can refresh our memories of that place later in life or for what ever other reason we take hundreds of pictures when we go about our planet...
Try to imagine technologically advanced aliens that travel trough space and store away everything they come across for whatever reason..
To save the rare life forms for them to study and experiment, to have something to remember that place by or spread that life further into the space or something completely unimaginable to our perception and understanding..
Now, for the fun part, what if that advanced alien race could artificially produce "black hole" with it's technology. And what if they could reverse it's effect at any time, from whatever point, whatever type or matter or structure..
To try to simplify my thoughts for my self firstly :),
I will compare this artificial black hole to a vinyl record.
These alien guys could create "Black hole vinyl record"(patent pending xD) and record(suck in) virtually anything.
Later on, they could use that same superb tech to "read" out anything that has been "sucked" or "stored" into the black hole and load this content back into reality...
I know it sounds far fetched and very hard to digest, as if You traveled to past and tried to explain vinyl record or usb storage devices to a cave man..I think only thing being digested in that scenario would be your leg
To conclude!
Message I'm trying to convey with this piece.
What if Dinosaurs haven't extinct, what if most of them were simply stored away, saved, from the planet that might have been unable to support this form of life anymore or something like that??
What if Gulf of Mexico is not point of impact of giant meteorite or asteroid, what if that is point of miniature black hole deployment that was programmed to "suck" specific matter(in this case dinosaurs and maybe other life forms) leaving barren planet behind?!..
Wouldn't that be cool :)
This opens up so many doors for some intriguing scifi stories...
Those same tech advanced guys coming back to our planet to store some of us, or all of us at some point..

''I know it sounds far fetched and very hard to digest'' HELLO, airM! Q: Have you been reading TOO MANY of TallPocket's ramblings and uploads lately? WINK. WHAT IF? Could run that merry go round to all ETERNITY. SMILES. BTW: TallPockets THINKS you MAY have something above. HE was THERE during those times. (OLD T.P.). GRINS. WELL done!

I think it's entirely possible.... good work on the theory, and fine work on the delicious image!!
airM
Thx guys :)!
odile
The picture is superb and I like your text too! Great idea!
DrCarl
this is why i added you creative brilliance what a clever concept and stunning render thanks for sharing your gift with us

What you describe here is what Einstein called a "worm hole" in space, wherein that which goes into it gets transported in a time-space warp into a point in time that's way in the future (or past) and can be at another place than the point of being "sucked in". Your concept is quite interesting, and your image very well made. Now I'll be afraid of getting an 80 ton dinosaur falling out of a "worm hole" onto my head! Keep up the good work! :-)

@Trex, no no, I know what scientists believe warm hole to be, I was thinking on artificially produced astrophysical body like black hole that this aliens can control just as you control your remote or whatever.. imagine being compressed to 100000000000000th of your size, and later on at some point uncompressed as if nothing happened, and time and existence stopped for you while you were compressed. imagine having ultra advanced technology capable of creating "usb" storage device that operated on the principle of black hole and unlike usb memory that compresses data, it compresses and stores real world, matter and so on :)

Interesting idea - Fantastic art!

Great image! Cool idea. Hey, you never know, it's not much weirder than the idea of the inflationary universe. And right now, we don't even know what 96% of the universe is even made of. So who's to say....

Interesting Commentary/Scene..Brilliant Work!

Excellent art, very deep thinking :D

That is simply a stunning image! As for the science or fiction part of it, well it is just a little over my head, but sounds very interesting. Marvelous idea and creation!

We love your image very much, and your entertaining idea on several fronts. The concept of putting dinosaurs into kind of digital storage may relate to the concept that everything in (our universe? multiverse?) basically is comprised of information. SO some means (eg using black holes - the untimate information storers?) of compressing or storing the information content (as it were) that is dinosaurs, might be available to mega-advanced alien beings. If they were interested in storing dinosaurs they may come back for us, to add to their celestial digital (or vinyl?) zoological garden. (From a biological perspective of course, dinosaur DNA is basically the digital zipped up code for making dinosaurs. Some branches of dinosaur DNA live on today in our beautiful feathered friends.)

Thank you Kinchie! :)

Very nice!
