THE GALAXY IN 3D

 
 






We have 3D movies and 3D TV, and one day we might see the Milky Way Galaxy in 3D.


Mysteries will no longer be mysteries.


 Heavens will be seen as clear as a bell.


The doorsteps of our space brothers will be on our own doorsteps.


We will know more about our home galaxy than we do about Kardashians.


The Milky Way might one day be on a Google Galaxy-Map.


Who knows?


But some things are certain:


What is far away will become closer, what is hidden will be seen, and what isn’t known now will become known.


Microbes and atoms were once invisible.


Then they became visible to our eyes with the help of machines that we made.


The planets and stars not seen today will be seen tomorrow.


Maybe Gaia will spot some intelligent creature waving its appendages to flag us down.


Hello.


Welcome to the party!

 

IT’S ABOUT RENEWABLE RESOURCES AND THE MILKY WAY!

CURIOSITY KILLED THE CLAM



Ming's life came to an abrupt end seven years ago when scientists from Bangor University dredged the seabed near Iceland (pictured) as part of a study into climate change.



               


Leave it up to scientists to ruin a good thing.



Scientists' need to know is often Nature's worst enemy.



Pandora's box has been opened more than once to let out bad things.



The intentions are usually good, but the outcomes turn out bad.



A most recent example is when the oldest living thing on earth was killed.



World's oldest creature is revealed to be 507-year-old shellfish called Ming – until scientists KILLED it by opening it up to check its age.

I, too, was an amateur scientist in my youth, and I am guilty of destroying things to find out what was inside them.

I opened up and dismantled every toy and device I came across just to find out what was inside.



My urge to know was overwhelming.



I couldn't wait to get inside things and unravel their mysteries.



But I didn't kill anything...



Not even a clam!
