What Happened Today? Feather Sound walk with Kay. Drove to the Tampa office. The air conditioning is not working in my car. Got caught up all the salespeople. Cleared all the paperwork from my desk. Bought a book on 100 ways to play Solitaire to have more variety when visiting Chris.
GAIA- Planetary Management:
91. Over nearly four eons, the experiments, the increasing diversity and complexity continued until, as the life-support systems of our planet stabilized, a still higher order of complexity emerged– intelligence and conscious awareness.
92. Throughout its 15 billion years, the pace of the universe’s development has been accelerating, each new wave of innovation building up to trigger the next, in a series of “leaps” up to further levels of diversification and change.
93. Compress this unimaginable timescale into a single 24-hour day, and the Big Bang is over in less than a ten-billionth of a second.
94. Stable atoms form in about four seconds; but not for several hours, until early dawn, do stars and galaxies form.
95. Our own solar system must wait for early evening, around 6 PM.
