Original Note:
This is a myth. "The idea that mass extinctions are periodic is a compelling one, but the evidence simply isn't there for it. The idea that the Sun's passage through the galactic plane causes periodic impacts tells a great story, too, but again, there's no evidence." https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2018/02/16/sorry-doomsday-forecasters-earths-mass-extinctions-occur-at-random/?sh=5394dd445d82
