The theory states that as our galaxy rotates, every 26 million years our solar system passes near a large collection of dark matter, whose gravity causes comets to smash into earth.

“Scientific” American? Not scientific and maybe American. An oxymoron if I ever heard one. To think that SA publishes or at least tries to publish anything true beyond its agenda is a laughable joke.

A 10 billion year old civilization that only gets around to cleansing this part of the galaxy of vermin with a directed gamma ray burst every 26 million years or so is also a possible explanation.
Obviously.

So that’s what happened to all the flood waters of Noah’s day. It all became dark matter. Who would have guess that? ~s

If they hadn’t been killed by dark matter, they would have all died from old age by now anyway.

We are currently being killed by Half Dark Matter.

I don’t really give a rat’s butt about what killed them but I guess I’m Luddite and a flat-earther. Bitterly clinging to my guns and my religion. A racist bigot homophobe islamophobe. You know the type.

They’ve also theorized that the universe is infinite, finite, static, shrinking, and expanding.
So when they readily admit that their theories are all based on speculation, I remain skeptical.

So, this article says that our passing through/near a disc of dark matter every 26 million years or so kills everything off, more or less.
The last mass extinction was 66 million years ago - how'd we miss the last two that should have occurred?
I'm a little concerned with our scientists' math skills...

The idea of dark matter was invented because their theories didn’t work right. Now dark matter had become an article of faith and it can’t be questioned.

This was posted earlier but I will repost...... it is a great lecture that is about the synergy of biological and geological change.
Evolution is defined as change over time
