, I just finished reading COSMOS (Possible Worlds) by Ann Druyan.
If you are, or were, a fan of Carl Sagan then you probably know who Ann Druyan is...…if not then you need to learn about her and read this book.
She has a very impressive resume of her own and the synergy that resulted from her and Carl's love for each other is legendary.
She has impeccably carried the Sagan torch on in new and exciting ways. She has brought the human experience into the Cosmos story line and deconstructed history with stories that matter and explain how we've gotten to this point in our journey.
And trust me when I use the word journey. Keep in mind that the Earth is moving at 67,000 MPH and the Sun is moving at 448,000 MPH and LAST BUT SURLY NOT LEAST...…
…The MILKY WAY GALAXY is moving at 1.3 MILLION MPH.
Where this journey leads is on a direct rendezvous with the Andromeda Galaxy and in about 4.5 Billion years that rendezvous will result in a joining of two spiral galaxies. Which also means that two massive Black Holes will engage each other and the sound will most likely be quite LARGE.
So simply put, we are on a schedule of extinction UNLESS we figure out how to travel and relocate.
Note the time period involved and the scientific advancements made by the human species in 10,000 years....and more importantly, in the last 100 years.
I believe WE will figure it out, as does Ann.

Opportunity to insert NEO-ILLUMINATION # 17
The Universe has a system of order and chaos
The Human experience is a tangent of that system that both establishes order and creates chaos
Belief systems directly lead to chaos
Acceptance with investigation and introspection create more order
The mysteries of the Universe will always outnumber the known realities
Our Job simply might be......
.......to avoid extinction
