Discovering

FLOWERS, WE NOW KNOW, are surrounded by an electromagnetic field, presumably of their own manufacture, to which insects are sensitive. Bumble Bees toss their hair when they approach a flower's electronic field. This is an utterly amazing discovery. Who knows what else flowers can do? Likewise, thousands of new planets are being discovered almost daily orbiting stars far from the sun. It turns out that just about every star in the sky has planets orbiting it, many of them very much like the Earth. That should be enough to get the UFO people really, really excited, because it seems more reasonable than ever to suppose that the universe might be filled with millions of lifeforms. Science, rather than superstition or religion, might eventually be our salvation. All you new age type people - you know who you are - the ones who believe in parallel universes and other dimensions and all manner of pseudo science and extraterrestrials disguised as humans among us; that sort; its time for you to strut your stuff! "We don't know one millionth of one percent of anything", said Einstein; but it looks as if we are starting to learn a great deal. And what we are learning would seem to indicate that the universe is far more amazing than any science fiction writers in their wildest imaginings had ever thought. All the more reason to "get it together", and save the planet, for future generations of humans. Can you imagine how far our descendants could take human knowledge and civilization? We (through our descendants) could become civilized! its a race to the finish! Will we the human conquers of the planet Earth find a way to salvage the Earth, and ourselves, and transmit a civilized version of our species into the future, and the cosmos? Stay tuned.
