New York: Scientists say that our planet Earth beats like a heart, but each of its beats occurs about 27.5 million (27.5 million) years later.
It should be noted that we cannot call the earth alive in the same way that animals, birds, trees, etc. are called alive. But in 1972, a scientist named James Lovelock proposed the Gaia hypothesis.
Researchers at the Carnegie Institution for Science and New York University have now made some new discoveries while researching these lines.
After reviewing the Earth's 260 million year history, they discovered that some extraordinary catastrophic events occur so rapidly on our planet every 27.5 million years that most of the life on Earth is lost. Pages are deleted from the entity.
These include large-scale volcanic eruptions, dramatic changes in the Earth's total climate in just a few years, and rapid re-alignment of continents.
Although the duration of these events is tens of millions of years, from a geological point of view it is a very short period which can be considered as a short pulse on a scale of millions of years.
Geological records of the last 260 million years have found at least nine places that point to extraordinary and catastrophic events for several thousand to a few hundred thousand years in a row.
These include the sudden extinction of dinosaurs about 65 million years ago today, as a result of a massive meteorite hitting the Earth.Experts have discovered that there are some extraordinary events on our planet at intervals of about 15 million years, which we can call the "beating" of the earth, but so far they do not know that all this Why does something happen, how does it happen and what is the system behind it all?
The study, published in a recent issue of the research journal Geoscience Frontiers, raises new questions about the various systems operating on Earth.
At the same time, the debate over the 50-year-old "Gaia hypothesis" has been renewed.
However, it is gratifying to note that there are about 20 million years left until the next Earthquake, so if any catastrophe strikes the Earth in the next few years, then the full responsibility lies with the people living here, ie us. Will be imposed.
