Pasadena based physicist Louis A. Frank proposes a massive undetected dark planet periodically perturbs comets from the Oort cloud, sending waves of small ice comets to Earth and explaining 65 million year extinction and 26 million year species cycles. He predicts another major extinction in 12 to 14 million years. The theory contrasts single meteor impact with ongoing bombardment.
