Have Scientists Nailed Down The Exact TimeWhen Satan Fell Like Lightning To The Earth? They Say "It" Happened 252 Million Years Ago

Mass extinction happened in the blink of an eye. It was the biggest apocalypse Earth ever experienced - 96 per cent of sea-life and 70 per cent of life on land got wiped out forever, some 252 million years ago. Scientists have known about this mega-event, called the end Permian extinction, for long. But how long did it take for this kind of death to envelope the whole Earth? Now researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have determined that the end-Permian extinction occurred in the blink of an eye, from a geologic perspective - just over 60,000 years, give or take 48,000 years. The new timescale is based on more precise dating techniques, and indicates that the most severe extinction in history may have happened more than 10 times faster than scientists had previously thought. "We've got the extinction nailed in absolute time and duration," says Sam Bowring, a professor of earth and planetary sciences at MIT.
