« Still Gaga About Gagarin! »
Sunday, April 12, 2009 Human history tells the story not of facts but of subjectivity.Each era, each civilization, each society and even each and every one of our own minds narrates its own story of significance.But what would an extraterrestrial witness of infinite patience consider to be basic cosmological highlights of this third rock from the Sun.Perhaps, the following…
4 billion years ago: Pre-cellular life begins.(You call this life?! B-o-o-o-ring!)
2 billion years ago: Cellular life beings.(Cute but still b-o-o-o-ring!)
400 million years ago: Fish develop legs.(Hmm...Intelligence on land?)
500 000 years ago: Homo Sapiens appears.(Consciousness on land? Uh huh… Yep… Noted…)
April 12th, 1961: a Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin becomes the first man to fly into outer space.(Consciousness in space? Now, that’s a development to watch! What’s next?!Consciousnessgoes on AWOL from Matter?!!)
I don't know about you but I am still gaga about Gagarin!
