news.nationalgeographic.com — Cosmic rays produced at the edge of our galaxy have devastated life on Earth every 62 million years, researchers say. The finding suggests that biodiversity has been strongly influenced by the motion of the solar system through the Milky Way and of the galaxy's movement through intergalactic space.

If these same rays created the fantastic four, surely in ten million years we will all evolve into beings with superpowers, or thoroughly microwaved from the inside out... :-/

"the next cosmic ray effect is about ten million years ahead of us."UPS should have my radiation suit delivered by then, maybe.

This is like really vague weather charting and predicting. Humans can't even predict the weather a week ahead of time accurately. They have a hard enough time understanding our planet little lone being able to extrapolate some space weather phenomenon as predictable to anything. I think they don't have enough data other than to say "This is Interesting". A theory, nothing more.
