Scientists challenge the single Chicxulub impact theory, presenting evidence that asteroid fragments found worldwide came from multiple, distinct impacts.

Prostate cancer cases rise with surgery yet survival unchanged
National Cancer Institute data show higher diagnosis rates for prostate cancer due to new tests like PSA. More men undergo prostate removal or radiation, but mortality remains steady. Experts warn surgery has higher death risk and can cause impotence and incontinence, while early detection’s mortality benefit is unproven. A large study starts in October to see if testing improves survival, results after a decade.
