“A SHORT HISTORY OF NEARLY EVERYTHINGS” – LIFE IS THE BIGGEST MIRACLE OF CREATION
Have you ever tried asking yourself and answering questions about the Universe, life and humanity?
What do you know about the achievements of mankind in all fields such as physics, chemistry, astronomy, archaeology, biology... in trying to find answers to such questions?
Maybe not as much and not necessarily as you think.
“First, billions of atoms have to be arranged in an incredibly complex and strangely enthusiastic way to make you. That way is so special and unique that it has never existed before and only existed once.”
“Think of the fact that for 3.8 billion years, a span longer than the ages of the mountains, rivers, and oceans on Earth, each of your ancestors was attractive enough to finding a mate, healthy enough to keep the race alive, and lucky enough by fate and circumstances to live long enough and do it… In the end, amazingly and simply, all of that worked out. created you.”
Are you surprised?! Our existence is inherently magical, it's just that we often don't pay attention to it. Throughout this 722-page book are such miracles. It is strange, when a book about science, seemingly extremely dry, is presented by Bill Bryson in such a simple, witty way, to the point that there are lines that make me burst out with excitement. taste, not the knowledge it brings. Above all, the book summarizes the history of all things, from the beginning to the present day, from the microscopic to the macroscopic, from microscopic quarks to the infinitely vast universe, from evident by our side until unbelievable miracles.
Turning each page of the book, you will be on board a space-time travel ship, along with the talented and erudite captain Bill Bryson to experience this world since the whole Universe was just a "Miracle", proving witness the birth and death of the stars in the night sky, to the birth of our home Earth, and to the astonishing rapid development of humanity, the most successful species that has ever been born. ever existed.
On this cruise ship, we will encounter very familiar names, such as Newton with the Theory of Gravity, Einstein with the Theory of Relativity, Darwin with the Theory of Evolution, etc. Besides, there are countless other animals. anonymous people, silently contributing to the development of human society. For example, Henry Cavendish, an excellent scientist of the 18th century, was the first person to separate Hydrogen and combine Hydrogen and Oxygen to create water. He also calculated the mass of the Earth using only theoretical calculations, without leaving the house, it's hard to believe right?!
We will also be friends with tiny atoms - the ingredients that make up every substance in this world. And it's fun to do after knowing that:
“Each atom of you has certainly passed through several stars and been part of millions of living beings… A part of you most likely once belonged to Shakespeare, Buddha, Beethoven, Genghis Khan, or any historical figure… So we are all reincarnated, even if only to live a short life.”
You see, there are always miracles around us, and they all have a connection to ourselves. So, every time you feel bored, think about how wonderful our existence is, you will surely feel a bit better.
When the space-time ship passed through the "small world" inside each of us, I was once again admiring the effectiveness of the army of bacteria. If you are in good health, on average there will be about 1 trillion bacteria "grazing in your meat fields", and that's just the number on the surface of your skin. Can you believe it, bacteria will still be able to survive, even if the Sun and Earth explode, anyway they have existed for billions of years without humans, while we will destroy them. would be dead without these "small but martial friends". At this point, I suddenly remembered in the book "Genius on the left, the madman on the right" there is a theory, in fact this world has been, is and will always be ruled by bacteria, they only change the person holding the handle. rights, from the giant dinosaurs, to us "Homo Sapiens", all are just objects for them to parasitize. Interesting, but even then it's just an idea worth pondering over.
"A Brief History of Everything" is like a teacher, a friend, an encyclopedia of life, a witty, funny and engaging book. Science from Bill Bryson's perspective is strange, fascinating, and human. At the end of the journey, you will receive a message, which, in my opinion, is also the summary meaning behind the stories that "A Brief History of Everything" refers to. That is:
Earth – almost nothing. But even living for such a short period of time requires an almost endless streak of luck.”
SO, ENJOY EVERY MOMENT. LOVE YOURSELF, LOVE THIS LIFE MORE, BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN THE BIGGEST MIRACLE OF CREATIVE!!!.......................................................................................................
