Paleontologists around the slot world have been fascinated by the changes in biodiversity throughout Earth's history. But apart from fossils They also have very limited resources to help them look at the past of the world. Most of the world's prehistoric

creatures never became fossils. and for those who do and are finally discovered It's just a fraction of the world's past.A general focus of many paleontologists' research focuses on understanding the many mass extinction events that ended in the destruction of most life on Earth,

including during Permian-Triassic and Devonian,

they believe that these events will help us better predict when the next big event will come.but traditionally Scientists with time scales from different sections The world's use to study

the geological past of the Earth can be divided into large pieces of history. only ten million years at a time due to the limited information they possess. Many things could happen in ten million years.Take, for example, the Permian mass extinction,

which caused 81 percent of all marine life in just 60,000 years. Such a major event would not be seen under the general geologic time scale.That is the reason why today So Chinese scientists are turning to supercomputers to bridge huge gaps in data.

The likes of China's Tianhe II supercomputer can store and analyze data hidden in hundreds of thousands and tens of thousands of fossils.With such a powerful tool Scientists have been able to scale the previous geological time scale down to 26,000 years,

increasing its accuracy exponentially compared to conventional methods.Chinese scientists are confident in doing so. Many previously unknown events and patterns in world history will reveal themselves. Therefore, they have a more neutral view of the state of our biodiversity today.
