Until the Sun Dies. It took 65 million years from the time the dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid impact until humans arrived on the scene. Today, we have the technology to wipe out all humans, if we do not use our technology wisely. Suppose we wipe ourselves out, and then it takes 65 million years for the next intelligent species to arise on Earth. Then suppose the same thing happens to them, with another intelligent species arising 65 million years later. If this process could continue until the Sun dies in about 5 billon years, how many more times could intelligent species arise on Earth at 65-million-year intervals?
