| S.Peelman said: The Earth recovered from five extinction events in its history already so what’s one more. Some extremely severe. That this latest epoch has been so super stable is cosmic luck basically. By now 99.9% of all species that ever lived are extinct and we didn’t have anything to do with about 99.85% plus. Might we be a part of such an event? Who knows. Our existence as a species is but a blink on the life of this planet anyway. Now that doesn’t mean I say let’s all just dump plastic in the sea and do tractor pulling en masse though. |
Everything has to start from zero again. Millions of years of more evolution and with environmental factors intelligent life (with opposable thumbs) may not emerge again. Seems like a waste, we should really take into account how important we are to the universe if on the really off chance we are the only intelligent life in it.. (Which is very unlikely)
