You've said nothing.
The general rule is if you post a link/video etc then you also say a couple of sentences about it.

I thought that the video would speak for itself that's why and that isn't really a rule on here. I was just wondering as much as I love dinosaurs if it would actually be possible to clone them and bring them back into existence someday.

Simple answer No.

Complex answe DNA breaks down after death, it does not last long and the dinosaurs have been dead for several thousand years, so there would not be enough information left. Look up aig they have articles on cloning dinosaurs and will cover it in more detail.

Actually, we have DNA which has survived for tens of thousands of years. Unfortunately the dinosaurs died out (except for birds which are descended from dinosaurs) many millions of years ago.

Recently, it's been claimed that some fragments of DNA molecules (not actually DNA) have been found in dinosaur fossils. Could be, but the would retain no information about dinosaur genes. Jurassic park, I think supposed the DNA of dinosaurs could be found in mosquitos trapped in amber. That's been checked. No such luck.

You might get some ideas from bird DNA, but since they evolved from one highly specialized group, and have been evolving for many millions of years, I think it's unlikely.

Michael Crichton can tell a good story, but his scientific knowledge is seriously lacking.
