Tens of thousands of people worked on it during wartime when everyone -- even the media -- accepted strict government censorship. And it was not a secret. (Thanks, Commie spies Julius and Ethel Rosenburg.) | |

| Jun 3, 2021 at 16:19 | comment | added | Darrel Hoffman | Realistically, a scientific breakthrough as revolutionary as "we brought back dinosaurs" would be almost impossible to do in secrecy. One would expect dozens to hundreds or even thousands of people to be involved, multiple papers published in reputable journals, public and/or government financing (they bought an island from Costa Rica somehow, that would be noticed), press-releases and media-hype, buzz throughout academia (both pro- and anti-), religious backlash (for playing God or whatnot), etc. | |
