"We estimate that we have one dinosaur fossil for every 10,000 years"
I hadn't really thought of this before, but it's pretty crazy when you think of it. There were sooooo many dinosaurs and we've found so few. There's just so much about the distant past that we can't know, and that the distant future won't know about us.
Fun article! I've heard of this hypothesis before. A youtuber I follow did a video about it a while back.
