🧂 Much of the revisionist argument rests on computer simulations. Models are only as good as boundary conditions and assumptions.

Es gibt Rätselfossilien, von denen ich noch nichts wusste? Was verheimlicht ihr mir noch alles?!?
To the world, the Oak is merely fodder for the hearth or an obstacle to "renewal."
But the Oak is a survivor. While we overheat in discourse, it cools the air. It heals by connecting, refusing to be bent by the crimes committed against it.
Stop with the wisdom of the Gretas. Put aside your sociology degrees.
The Oak is the true manifesto for a complex society—Read on: https://library.profpeter.my/paper-trails/mastodon-short/true-science-of-the-oak

Ancient everyday items — from 11,000‑year‑old sculptures to 5,500‑year‑old shoes — show that the objects you use today have roots deep in human history, still resonating in our lives.

"Frankly, I’m surprised you’re even interviewing me. Geologists generally treat me as a nonentity. I’m an un-rock, a cipher, just an irregular surface."

🧬 Life kept upgrading itself, code rewriting code. Single cells learned to cluster, then specialize, then network. Fungi arrived early, aquatic, flagellated, flinging spores like packets through water. They hacked land via algae, spun mycelial grids under shifting continents, laid dark infrastructure for everything that followed.
Evolution doesn’t rush toward dominance. It stabilizes conditions until dominance becomes possible.

"this problem of deep time still haunts us, because it lurks behind the challenge of grasping #climatechange — i.e. the fact that the warming we’re currently seeing is happening far faster than it ought to. You can only really grasp the speed of what’s going on if you grasp the depth of time …"

DeepTime: Explore an epic story 65,000 years in the making
The ABC has recently released Deep Time, “an interactive tool the Story Lab team within ABC News created to help all Australians better understand the ancient history of our continent and its First Nations peoples.”
Australian First Peoples have survived here for at least 65,000 yrs.
They’ve lived through an ice age, volcanic eruptions, shared the land with giant animals that no longer exist - precious knowledge that’s been passed down thru 2,300 generations.

Moss, Climate, and Deep Time
"Taking a long view of life on Earth, Robin Wall Kimmerer explores how mosses—ancient beings who transformed the world—teach us strategies for persisting amid a changing climate."

received this pamphlet (c/o Yurika Miyano) commemorating a quarter century since the passing of one of Japan’s most prominent first generation SF authors, Ryu Mitsuse (1928-1999).
Mitsuse is best known for his 1967 novel Ten Billion Days and One Hundred Billion Nights (百億の昼と千億の夜). It follows the Buddha, Jesus and other saint-like figures through cosmic struggles to the end of time.

#Sanidine from the Fish Canyon Tuff is essential to understanding the pace of events in the #Cenozoic
High potassium, quickly erupted and cooled, and old enough to have accumulated sufficient 40Ar from radioactive decay. These crystals calibrate neutron flux for 40Ar/39Ar dating. The 28.2 Ma age of the FCT sanidine has been fine-tuned using #Milankovitch cycles of other ash beds in stable sedimentary basins.

"With your arms spread wide again to represent all time on earth, look at one hand with its line of life. The Cambrian begins in the wrist, and the Permian Extinction is at the outer end of the palm. All of the Cenozoic is in a fingerprint, and in a single stroke with a medium-grained nail file you could eradicate human history."
