What if the world was going to end?
Ok you've heard enough nut jobs pose this question. Now here's something we hope you'll REALLY like.
My theory is thus. That roughly every 50 (give or take, the bands are wide) million years, our solar system passes through a region of galactic space where, as a result of a previous galactic cannibalization, objects (such as Ouamuamua) are traveling counter to standard galactic movement. When we pass through these regions of space, things going the wrong way tend to smack us very hard. But these occurrences are both known and predictable. They try to tell us extinctions are random events. The photo of the timeline graph I made will prove that these events are, in fact, NOT random, but occur regularly and predictably, and we have been in one of these regions of space since December 2012. Yes, what the Mayan calendar was REALLY predicting wasn't the end of the world...but it's POSSIBILITY, because of where we are in galactic space.
We have all been misled. Greatly.
The yellow highlighter lines represent our passage through these regions where Earth was missed.
The red highlighter lines represent our passage through these regions where Earth was hit, and there is a corresponding extinction event indicated at these intersections.
So. And end of the world post. With real statistical proof.
Now what?
Every line is 50 million years.
I apparently need to add a bit more data. The cannibalization of the smaller galaxy resulted in 4 bands of off-eliptic rotation. If you look at the chart, consider the first HIT 450 million years ago to be band "A", the most hazardous region. Each time Earth enters the "A" band, we get hit, including the very last extinction. In another 50 million years, give or take, we enter region "B" (the current region we just entered), and then "C", each of which have a 50/50 chance of impact.
The final region, or "D", is apparently the trailing edge and very loosely populated, if at all. From this chart, we have never been hit in the "D" region. Every 50 million years we enter another band, and every 50 million years, we take a hit, or don't. The odds, literally, seem to be 50/50. In this chart are 2 complete galactic orbits, plus the start of a 3rd. We're told extinctions don't happen in patterns. If I'm the only person that sees a pattern here...
So, if you consider 500m years ago the starting point of reference for galactic rotation, then, 50 million years later we enter region A...HIT
Region B (50/50) - MISS
Region C (50/50) - HIT
Region D (0 recorded hits in D)
Then you have completed one orbit around the galaxy and now again enter
Region A - HIT (100% hit chance in A)
Region B - HIT
Coincidentally, this HIT is the time PANGAEA splits. Actually...NOT coincidentally.
Region C - MISS
Region D - MISS
Region A - HIT
And has of December 2012, we have entered region "B".
Of course this would be entering the halfway point into the 3rd galactic orbit, by this chart
There must be SOMEBODY here that understands astrophysics and impact dynamics! If someone can demonstrate for me that a 12-20 km/sec impact from an object within our own solar system caused the start of plate tectonics, I would like to see that. Only a something with a relative velocity of over 5,000 km/sec could crack the earth's crust like an egg and NOT obliterate the planet. It would be caused by a very small object hitting very fast and nearly head on.

If any of you have ever seen an image of what Earth would look like, sans oceans, it is strikingly similar to what happens when a small bullet travels through a glass sphere...

OH GEEEZ,, too bad,,but I am not going to cancel my vacation reservations over it.

It take more than 50 million years to orbit the galaxy once. So why would something unusual happen in cycles of 50 million years?
Interstellar space is so big that the chance of any rock hitting the earth from interstellar space is virtual zero.

Five bad, four good, one unsure out of 10 periods of 50 million years, plus or minus a dozen million.
Not much better than 50-50, is it?
Considering the whole history of Earth (4.5B yr) and life on Earth (~1B yr), you have shown a theory that covers maybe 500M yr. Loose theory at best.
Now in a single person's life span (60 to 80 years world wide average) one might see a nearby volcano (several times in last 140 years) that modified weather, a large asteroid hit nearby (twice in last 110 years), lots of floods, fires, earthquakes (too many to count in last century). Those are much more serious for people alive now and their children.
Add in global climate change, and some effects like food chain collapse, drought, poisoned air and water, economic collapse, plague, and people should be more concerned about those RIGHT NOW.

The world is going to end. Completely destroyed, nothing at all left. In About 4.5 BILLION Years our sun will expand into Red Giant Star.

< Every line is 50 million years >
It's impossible on that scale to draw a line to December 2012 except if you are trying to prove it to yourself.
I agree there seems to be a cycle to previous mass extinctions but it's not as clean as you present and it's not every 50 million years. The last mass extinction was about 65 million years ago.

You must have an awful low standard of "proof".
