"we've tried everything we can think of to find an explanation for
these weird cycles of biodiversity and extinction," muller said, "and
so far, we've failed."

"their discovery is exciting, it's unexpected and it's unexplained,"
kirchner said. and it is certain, he added, to send other scientists
in many disciplines seeking explanations for the strange
cycles. "everyone and his brother will be proposing an explanation --
and eventually, at least one or two will turn out to be right while
all the others will be wrong."
