Luis Alvarez collaborated with several notable scientists during his career, including his son, Walter Alvarez, who co-discovered the hypothesis linking the extinction of the dinosaurs to a meteor impact. He also worked with colleagues such as Robert Cornog and Frank W. Anderson on various experimental projects in particle physics. Additionally, Alvarez was part of the Manhattan Project, collaborating with renowned physicists like Enrico Fermi and J. Robert Oppenheimer.
Walter and Luis Alvarez proposed the theory that a large rocky object, such as an asteroid or comet, colliding with Earth caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. This theory is known as the Alvarez Hypothesis.
Walter and Luis Alvarez proposed that a large rocky object that collided with Earth caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. They suggested that this object was an asteroid or comet that struck the planet approximately 66 million years ago, leading to the end of the Cretaceous period.
The kinds of conflicts that exist are internal or external. In the short story Catch the Moon both are presented: Internal: 1. Luis vs. himself (over Naomi) 2. Luis vs. himself (over his mother's death) External: 1. Luis vs. cleaning hubcaps 2.Luis vs. Dad (Shark shirt) 3. Luis vs. rules (He spends time for being a troublemaker)
There are signs of a massive - ENORMOUS! - meteor crater in the Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Mexico at a place called Chicxulub, at the northern tip of the Yucatan peninsula. It is about 65 million years old. All the dinosaurs died off about 65 million years ago. So did 85% of all life on Earth. Could there be a connection? About 30 years ago, the scientist Luis Alvarez thought that the at-that-time accepted theories of what might have killed off the dinosaurs - a plague, a new predator, volcanoes - were too simplistic. Alvarez theorized that a cosmic impact might have played a factor. He was widely ridiculed for years, but his explanation is now widely accepted as correct.
Luis works for his father at the junkyard to make up for the mistakes he made in the past and to demonstrate his responsibility and willingness to change. By working with his father, he aims to rebuild their relationship and prove himself to be a reliable and hardworking individual.
