A child crying…
Because her birthday is coming…
And she does not want to become 9…
She wants to stay 8 for ever…
Oh, dear child.
Listen to me.
You will be a child for ever.
As your mom and me.
Don’t be fooled by the aging skin.
Or the tired eyes.
Inside the soul, we are still a kid.
Playing.
Laughing.
Happy.
Being sad.
As that first time I came to Be…
Most natural and artificial surfaces are rough: metals and even glasses that appear smooth to the naked eye can look like jagged mountain ranges under the microscope. There is currently no uniform theory about the origin of this roughness despite it being observed on all scales, from the atomic to the tectonic. Scientists suspect that the rough surface is formed by irreversible plastic deformation that occurs in many processes of mechanical machining of components such as milling. (1)
In a rough cosmos we try to build mirrors.
In an ever changing universe we try to see patterns.
In a living cosmos we try to analyze death.
Staring on the calm lake.
Feeling good that we see out self.
Oh, happy man.
I know you would cry if you knew there is nothing to see.
Once I asked a child what Being is…
(Once I asked my self what Being is…)
And the child answered…
“It is just a word dad”
(And I laughed…)
And my dad was impressed…
And the whole world of philosophy kept on going…
Trying to figure out what Being is.
New research identifies a previously overlooked global event which changed the course of the evolution of life in the oceans. It coincided with a rise in calcium carbonate-secreting plankton and their subsequent deposition on the ocean floor.
The ocean as we understand it today was shaped by a global evolutionary regime shift around 170 million years ago, according to new research.
Until that point, the success of organisms living within the marine environment had been strongly controlled by non-biological factors, including ocean chemistry and climate. However, from the middle of the Jurassic period onwards (some 170 million years ago), biological factors such as predator-prey relationships became increasingly important.
Writing in Nature Geoscience, scientists say this change coincided with the proliferation of calcium carbonate-secreting plankton and their subsequent deposition on the ocean floor.
They believe the rise of this plankton stabilised the chemical composition of the ocean and provided the conditions for one of the most prominent diversifications of marine life in Earth’s history. (1)
Evolution evolves.
And through the ages of existence.
Even Being redefines itself.
Eternal change.
Towards a goal which keeps shifting.
Everlasting life.
Walking a road that keeps going.
Poor man.
How much do you really need to walk into the clearing?
Before you realize you shouldn’t have left the clearing?
Look up.
You haven’t walked a single step.
Humans trying to find the meaning of life.
Humans trying to understand existence.
Trying to decipher being.
Philosophers trying to understand change.
Physicists trying to define time.
Biologists trying to know life.
We were kids.
Trying to play.
But the game is no longer a game.
Angered by our failures to know.
Insisting to know more and more…
And understand.
And explain.
Failing to see our failures as answers as we did before…
About life and its meaning.
About existence and being.
About time and change.
There is nothing to know, but what we already knew.
Kids playing.
What reason is there to play?
No meaning.
No being.
No existence.
No time.
No change.
What reason is there to play?
Dear God.
Have I ever seen you pray?
Now I see.
(I am you)
Trying to understand.
Trying to know more.
Go on.
Ask the child.
How could you play with something that is not yours?
Explanatory note: We are the child. Not part of God, but God himself. Trying to play with the cosmos. Only because the cosmos is ours in the first place…
