    The new hypotheses proposed by different scientists are often criticized by the others because these new hypotheses contradict the ideas and hypotheses that already exist. Adapting one's mind to a new hypotheses explaining a past event is often difficult when more clear hypotheses were already given earlier. Thus, the hypotheses suggesting the extinction of the dinosaurs are difficult for the scientific community to accept.
