Has anyone noticed that it is almost exactly one galactic year since the Permian-Triassic extinction? (96% of marine and 70% of land life died - the only extinction event known to have wiped out insect species, apparently).

Of course the galaxy is a dynamic thing and "the same part" loosely defined at best, but ... something else to worry about? :-) On 13 December 2014 at 10:26, Alberto G.
