Quote: “Survival on earth is a surprisingly tricky business. Of the billions and billions of species of living thing that have excited since the dawn of time, most-99.99 percent-are no longer around.”
Questions: Is there a certain order were the species started to die? Is the are rate that the species are dying? Is there a way to figure out what is the next species to die?
Comment: I chose this quote because it really startled me. It got me thinking if species are 99.99% gone that means pretty much that were next. Because sooner or later the world is going to end, and we are going to be the last little percentage that are alive.

QQC 2# Bryson reading chapter 2-3
Quote:"But the universe is vast and supernovae are normally much too far away to harm us."
Question: Who was the person that discovered a supernovae? How do you detect a supernovae? Were is the supernovae located in the atmosphere?
Comment: I don't know if I should be concerned or OK with this situation, because if are technology is so advanced then how come it took the scientist so long to understand what a supernova was? But then at the same time I will be OK with this because hopefully that means that the scientist were paying attention to other problems we might have, not just the supernova.
