Nietzsche quote (earth skin)
A quote by Friedrich Nietzsche on the conception of humans as part of the skin of the earth. [3]
In hmolscience, the sloughing hypothesis is an argument which posits that cyclically mass extinctions, said to occur every 26-million years, occur according to the logic that the earth, defined as a molecule (see: earth molecule), sheds its skin (biosphere), in cycles similar to the way a human, defined as a molecule (see: human molecule), or the sun, defined as a type of molecule (see: sun molecule), sheds it skin.

Fischer-Arthur hypothesis
In 1977, A.G. Fischer and M.A. Arthur (“Secular Variations in the Pelagic Realm”), introduced the extinction periodicity hypothesis, by posited (Ѻ) that mass extinctions occur cyclically ever 32-million years.

Alvarez hypothesis | Meteoroid impact theory
In the 1970s, Luis Alvarez (1911-1988), after winning the trivial matter of the 1968 Nobel Prize in physics (1968), for the discovery of a large number of resonance states, in elementary particle physics, made possible through his development of the technique of using hydrogen bubble chamber and data analysis, solved the mass extinction problem—posed to him by his son geologist Walter Alvarez—of specifically the extinction of dinosaurs, 65 million years ago, via so the so-called "Alvarez hypothesis" and the technique of iridium sampling in a specific clay layer around the globe and the so-called “killing mechanism” (Neil Shubin, 2013) proposal that when an asteroid hits the earth it vaporizes, thus blocking out light, killing plants, effectively dismantling the food chain.

The following shows the meteoroid impact theory view of the mass extinction of the dinosaurs 65-million years ago, showing an atom to fish to dinosaur evolution window, followed by an fish to human evolution window: [2]

Mass extinction

Mass extinctions | Periodicity hypothesis
In 1972, American computer whiz Jack Sepkoski, a new graduate student of Stephen Gould, following the late 1960s so-called Woods Hole paleontology conference, was assigned the task of transforming the mass of known fossil data, such as Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, and other data bases, into a computer database, in aims to discern possible patterns in the "history of life" (Neil Shubin, 2013), found that the data suggested five mass extinctions, and building on the so-called “extinction periodicity hypothesis” (or Fischer-Arthur hypothesis), introduced in 1977 by A.G. Fischer and M.A. Arthur, together with David Raup, hypothesized in 1984 (Ѻ) that mass extinctions occur cynically ever 26-million years. [4]

Sloughing hypothesis | Exodermal regeneration theory
In circa 2005, American electrical engineer Libb Thims posited that the cyclical twenty-six million years, on average, annual mass extinction cycles, known to have reoccurred on the surface of the earth in a periodic manner, wherein about 95 percent of all life forms (powered animate atomic geometries) of a mass size, bigger than about a mouse, go extinct, is a type of "exodermal regeneration cycle", wherein the earth or earth molecule sheds, reincorporates, and then restarts the growth of its skin, biosphere, or integumentary system over again. [1] This model would be in alignment with other known outer layer cycles: [1]

(a) the human shedding its skin each lunar cycle (28 days)
(b) a snake shedding its skin every semi-yearly molt
(c) the sun shedding its magnetic skin at each sun spot cycle (12 years)

In short, each entity, snake (snake molecule), human (human molecule), earth (earth molecule), sun (sun molecule), is a type of molecule with a specific molecular formula, and according to photon input (and followup growth) governed by the surface law, the external layers of molecule, above a certain size, must renew.
