Wait, what? I don’t even …

Of course, the aforementioned study was never really about super intelligent dinosaurs from space. As Real Clear Science writes:

[...] the paper itself wasn’t about dinosaurs at all. It centered on chirality, a property of an object, organism, or molecule which means that the object is not identical to its mirror image.

The author, Ronald Breslow, do mention dinosaurs in his paper, but only briefly in the concluding chapter:

An implication from this work is that elsewhere in the universe there could be life forms based on D-amino acids and L-sugars. Such life forms could well be advanced versions of dinosaurs, if mammals did not have the good fortune to have the dinosaurs wiped out by an asteroidal collision, as on Earth. We would be better off not meeting them.

But who cares about advanced chemistry when there’s talk about advanced versions of dinosaurs, right?
