New hypothesis suggests dark matter wiped out the dinosaurs
Here is another doomsday scenario to cause us to worry. This article brings up an interesting point about what causes mass extinctions on Earth. When the Earth passes through the Milky Way’s plane, we pass through a tremendous amount of dark matter. Passing through that matter causes a number of events to occur. One being an increase in the number of meteor strikes and the other is even more interesting. The dark matter penetrates the Earth and interacts with the Earth’s core. The dark matter heats the Earth’s center and it causes an increase in volcanic action.
I love these kinds of scenarios because I’m always looking for events that can change an invasion or allow a significant underdog to win over a greater invasion force. I like to use natural phenomena, which surprises the invaders. In one of my future stories, I have a solar flare wiping out an invading alien force.
In my SIMPOC series, which will start releasing by the end of March I’m using a viral pandemic to wipe out the human race and allow two computers to take over. One is friendly and the other isn’t. The story is about how an alien computer gets its start.
I did a little research and it appears that we’re safe for the time being, we aren’t scheduled to pass through the Milky Way’s plane for another 30 million years or so. I guess it’s never too late to start worrying
