Asteroid which wiped out dinosaurs contains alien metals which could CURE CANCER

And the asteroid which smashed into Earth 66 million years ago contained an abundance of iridium.

The rare metal has the ability to penetrate the nucleus of a cancer cell by latching onto a blood protein known as albumin.

Iridium was attached to albumin using a special coating which then glowed brightly, according to the study.

Once iridium is inside the nucleus, scientists have discovered they can blast the nucleus with a fibre optic laser, which causes the cell to produce poisonous oxygen which kills any cancerous cells, while remaining harmless to the healthy ones.
