A Detailed Simulation of Our Universe

Wow!!! Reality is far more fascinating and impressive than anything found in those Bronze Age mythologies.

 

Letter from the Universe

LOL. Wish I had one plus a complaint department and a user's manual too. 

 

The Center of All Things (Not)

Ooh I like this. It's a visual version of much of what I've been saying in previous posts. I'm glad that there are others out there who share the same outlook. May its message spread far and wide.

Everything You Need to Know About Planet Earth

Love this vid. It explains quite clearly how the Earth came to be. You can see what a thin biofilm humans are a part of compared to the size of our homeworld.



There is no need for superheroes aka gods to explain this; we are no longer in the Age of Ignorance but fifty years into the Space Age...unless we let the fundies drag us back.

The Cool Green Hills of Earth

I recently finished reading a fascinating book titled A Garden of Marvels by Ruth Kassinger with a paragraph that truly got to me: There are vastly more chloroplasts on Earth than stars in the universe. All these chloroplasts owe their lives to that one eukaryote that engulfed an indigestible cyanobacterium that lived 1.6 billion years ago. That single creature's descendents turned the rocky continents into our leafy, green world, without which none of us could exist. 

I love that - we owe our existence to a minuscule eukaryote that existed over a billion years ago not some imaginary deity that supposedly created everything 6,000 years ago (and the same goes for all the other creation myths). If forced to worship something it would be that eukaryote that started our incredible chain of life all those eons ago. Thank you little cell...you did good.
