![]() ![]() Another by-the-way, which is actually the way, central to chatting, Andromeda, which is about 40 percent bigger than the pinwheel we are part of, will meet and mingle (not "collide") with our Milky Way in about 4-5 billion years forming a large elliptical or lenticular shaped galaxy. What we see as significant is all about us, our values. Just like people living BC didn't know it, my old profs didn't know they'd been born in the BG era until one fact forced us to see everything differently. Point being, it was not that long ago that humanity lived in the BG (Before Galaxies) era. Unlike Kant, Hubble had proof for the hypothesis. When I went to college in 1975, professors my age at that time (65), were about to go to college themselves when Hubble made his discovery. Back in 1755, in his book Allgemeine Naturgeschichte und Theorie des Himmels (Universal Natural History and Theory of the Heavens), he was the first to suggest that the Milky Way might be just one of many such discrete structures of stars in the universe. Before all the pollution, Andromeda was not so hard to see with the naked eye. By the way we didn't even know galaxies, the great spinning island-pinwheels of stars existed until 1923, when Edwin Hubble proclaimed a blurry speck of light in the sky to be a "galaxy," far, far away, later named Andromeda, after an Ethiopian (or Phonecian) princess. That's about when we, Homo Sapien sapiens emerged. How long does it take our solar system to make one orbit around the center of the Milky Way galaxy? 240 million years. The more you know, the more amazing everything is. That's 550 TONS! Yet they float along on the breeze. The average cumulus cloud weighs 1.1 MILLION pounds. We see all sorts of patterns "in" clouds/in us. Maybe that's why he raised a megalomaniac. The fact that Aristotle saw it that way tells us more about him, than knowledge. Who owns what? What owns who?ĭare I? More advice: Don't love anything that can't love you back. But I think money and debt often have us. Those who do not own themselves are “owned” by someone or something else. Denying your responsibility is denying your freedom. If you are not responsible, then you are not free.
