A lot of dynamic systems go off the rails and destruct, though. We haven't seen any population rebounds yet. Not even close.

- defrost 3y ago> "A lot" .. The solar system is still spinning, perhaps you might widen your outlook and quantify. The guide from Applied Mathematics is the only "numbers" that matter long term are -1, 0, 1, sin, and infinity. Systems either dwindle, explode, stabilise, invert, or oscillate ... and everything around us in the universe is part of some system or another. > We haven't seen any population rebounds yet. One example (in humans) https://www.nature.com/articles/srep04541 https://www.nature.com/articles/srep04541 Another example of a type of constriction with evidence that this likely occured in human population: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_bottleneck https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_bottleneck Many many examples in nature (eg: cyclic boom | bust of kangaroo populations). Have you considered looking about before uttering readily falsifiable platitudes?
