"Humankind is a mystery. It needs to be unravelled, and if you spend your life unravelling it, don't say you've wasted time.
I am studying that mystery because I want to be a human being."
  Fyodor Dostoevsky, August 16, 1839.

Periodic Table of the Elements

Ours is a most improbable planet; so nourish this world or perish.

Encyclopedia of Earth

 
  Death Valley  

"Our existence in this place, this microscopic corner of the cosmos, is fleeting. With utter disregard for our wants and needs, nature plays out its grand acts on scales of space and time that are truly hard to grasp. . . .

Caleb Scharf,
Scientific American, August, 2012; p. 34.

Commentary:

"Most of the Universe is too cold, too hot, too dense, too vacuous, too dark, too bright, or not composed of the right elements to support life."

Ward & Brownlee, Rare Earth, p. 35.

   
Climate change is harming people now but we could do something to protect us all.

Correcting ecology.

Ecology has long been a captive sub-discipline of the narrow life sciences;
see now how it must become a more inclusive, connective, and infused base of knowledge about the universe.
