Lawrence Edwards posted a new activity comment 11 years, 2 months ago
Why do we care whether we label the Universe alive or dead or mechanical or whatever. At that level the discussion is one of definitions, lacking insight into what is really important. For me the subject is really how to express my awe, my gratitude, my profound sense of belonging within my new understanding of the beauty, complexity, and…[Read more]

Lawrence Edwards replied to the topic Big History's anthropocentric bias in the forum my forum new one 12 years ago

Living and participating at Genesis Farm (Blairstown, New Jersey, USA) Jean and I participated in many rituals: morning greeting the Sun, solstice & equinox, and, or course, the Cosmic Walk. Many folks have sent me their versions of the Cosmic Walk. I have at least 10 of them. Most of them are pretty much the same. But there are several which…[Read more]

Hi Rich and all you wonderful folks,
I think you said it well, “it’s got to be rigorous enough to survive in a fragmented academic landscape. That is a tough challenge.” The fragmented academic landscape has caused much inefficiency in our understanding the Universe, Earth, and certainly ourselves. Yet we humans can handle just so much i…[Read more] -

Neil deGrasse Tyson is always a joy to behold. Here he explains the complete ignorance we have as to the identity of what is normally called Dark Matter. Admitting ignorance is both necessary and humbling.
