CB, there was a time when World War II was prehistoric to me since time seemed to start from when I was born. Geological time was an absurd concept going on forever: <I used to find geology oppressive. All those layers of rock, all that weight, all that time. As I get older, it fascinates me more.> By university, I found geology fascinating [not so much the petrology and mineralogy as the geomorphology]. Still time seemed forever. But bit by bit it has been shriveling until now I feel that with a bit more time I could hold the Cosmos in the palm of my mind and gaze curiously at it. It's a small place which hasn't been around "long". Here's a quick 200 years of economic and health progress: youtube.com Recently, with the help of Google, I found a branch of family tree back to 1640. That was unimaginably long ago once upon a time, involving boring and dusty irrelevant history, now I can imagine the lives of each name. The Ming dynasty was yesterday. The Roman Empire was not so long ago after all. China is a new-fangled place. No wonder nature has contrived to make humans outlive everything so our hard-earned perspectives and understanding can get their money's worth. Another few hundred years of life span wouldn't go amiss. Perhaps with Google and mobile Cyberspace as a brain adjunct, people could enjoy stupendously vast instant knowledge and spend the first 20 years on more fun and less pointless study. Mqurice
