Transcript:

We come to the beginning of 2015, which is a year of preparation. From 2016 on the future will be quite astounding, as they used to say. Astonishing. Protean. The title for this extended series is The Future and the New Past. And they are related. Specifically, with an and or an ampere sign, which I prefer. So that they are paired, but they are paired in a symmetry. And the symmetry focuses on the present moment. The now. If you remove that temporal pivot, the now, the present, then the entire symmetry collapses into not chaos, not nothing, but into a continuity.

This continuity of time is the true dynamic of time. And that true dynamic of time brings into play, out of the mysterious source of nature the first dimension, which is time. And that first dimension of time is a dynamic. which is a continuity. And which the introduction of a present moment makes a parenthesis of symmetry, which then is a measurable time. The dynamic of the continuity becomes hidden in the way in which the first dimension, the emergence of dimension with time. Not only as a dynamic, but we call it and can call it. We do call it energy. That energy blossoms into further dimensions, not helter skelter, but in a triplet. So that space, in three dimensions, absorbs its emergent stem, time and becomes space-time. A four-dimensional integral which has a measurable time-rate within the space-time that is then that universe. And within that all else follows in due course and complexity.

By expressing the future and the new past with an ampere sign as a continuity, the future and the new past, that continuity introduces a further dimensioning in order to achieve recognition of this. And those further dimensions of the dimensions of consciousness.
And the very first dimension of consciousness is vision. A fifth dimension that doesn't emerge from space-time, but which becomes recognizable. a recognition, a recognition, that it is the mysterious context of space-time of those four dimensions of that universe. And so, vision is a field which is infinite. An infinite field. And becomes for the first time conscious through that recognition. That the sourcing of the universe must be a zero dimension.

And that the emergence of dimension, dimensionality, of time in its dynamic continuity is spontaneous. So that the zero field of nature is fertile. And the fertile field of zero, whenever time is restored to its continuity begins to have a pair of effects. One of the effects. Is that there is in the energy measurement of time, the frequency, the graphing of the frequency, will have a symmetrical crusting and trussing around the thrust of the zero emergent spontaneity of time itself all the time in a continuity in a current. And that this invisible horizon of zero is spontaneously keeping the symmetry of time's energy coiled around it, so that the dimension of dynamic gives us a source of energy, which then is able to have manifestations that are able to be understood, measurable, graspable, conscious recognition of the way in which, um, the signature then, is so familiar to us. That of Einstein's wonderful E equals MC squared. Energy equals the square, the framing of the idea of E equals MC squared. And that M is the particularity of matter mass. And the C squared is the speed of light. And that speed of light is the linking of the zeroness that is in the horizon of the energy graphability, the frequency wave. And the constellation of matter as not only particle, but also of wave of the energy. And so, one has a way of understanding for the first time that space-time is a quintessential visionary possibility of further dimensions.

And so that fifth dimension, like a thumb added to four fingers gives recognition an opportunity to explore further possibilities of dimensions. And the play within this visionary universe, eventually, comes into rather interesting, glorious manifestations. Such as about 225 years ago one began to understand that life has come to a very interesting way of using a recognition in vision, in the play of persons emerging who have a visionary capacity which is, um, able to then bring out of an infinite field of possibility a spontaneity not only of time, but a spontaneity as well of eternity. Where the source of time itself is what we now are able to call the real. The quality of reality.

So that the universe emerges spontaneously real. And the linking of it is not only through time in its energy, s-symmetry pairing itself with the coiling nahelixing around the vector of time in all of its, uh, amazingness. But that in fact that helical quality when it has extra possibilities becomes, in fact, a paired helical, a double helix. This is for organic life. And that organic life brings this extra quality of quintessential, the fifth dimension, the magic of the theatre of that the universe is in fact, um, a play of immense recognition, recognizable qualities and opens further because it is the prismatic person who becomes able to use that full grasp not only of the hand, but of the two hands, uh, brought together with the opposable thumbs.

And that this symmetry is able then to be involved in a continuity of a new quality of a sixth dimension that is of the prismatic person. Prismatic like a crystal. Like with more facets like a jewel. To diffract into all of the various components that light which in its prime cordiality would be a white light, but in its reality, a clear light. And that white light being prismed through the crystal. Even more so through the gem. Will give a rainbow. Will give a spectrum of light into its various colors. And it is the colors of the spectrum most naturally in the rainbow that gives a quality of visionary discovery and freshness that comes into play in such a way that the sixth dimensional prismatic person recognizes that others before them and also with them, and at the same time in continuity those yet to come into time but will join in that continuity so that there is a community of recognition that belongs in a seventh dimension. Which the best word for it is history.

So that history as it is developing, not in a now, not in a present division of the past, and the future. That recognition in further dimensions of consciousness is presence. That the presence is a quality that is distributed throughout the entire continuity. Throughout the entire symmetry. Throughout a seventh dimension, which then brings forth a new form. That is the form of an eighth dimension of consciousness. And that eighth-dimension best is characterized as science.

So that to the four dimensions of the natural spectrum of space-time of the universe, one can learn to recognize, one can learn to learn to recognize, and one will have four dimensions of consciousness and ecology that joins with the cycle of the four dimensions of the universe. And this in ancient ways, already several thousand years ago, was called, termed. In the Greek language its term was the cosmos.

So that the universe of space time actually has an eight-dimensional cosmos that can be equally symbolized. And what symbolizes it is that the four-dimensional frame of reference way of looking at space time at the universe has a way of disclosing its paired-ness, its symmetry with these other four dimensions. And so, a more comprehensive way of being symbolic in a quintessential larger recognition eight-dimensional mode comes into play specifically when one has matured the science to be able to have a publication like this from 2006, simply entitled Genomes. The editors, um, uh, Hilary Sussman and, um, Maria Schmidt, uh, were researching at the Cold Spring Harbor, uh, Institute on Long Island. Uh, not far from the birthplace of Walt Whitman et cetera. And the Cold Spring Harbor was originally an animal station in the 1920's and was taken over and made into a research institute into the developments of the science of the double helix of DNA. With its head James D. Watson.

In Genomes, and I have, uh, made copies of for those who get the presentation notes, of the way in which there is a great development graphed in a chapter of Genomes. And the chapter is, um, Fish, Genomics and Biology. But what is interesting in it is a colored diagram that shows the stages become conscious phases, the stages of development in space time, the phases of recognition in a conscious science prismed by conscious persons in a conscious history continuum that has nature paired in a complementarity with the infinity of consciousness so that the zero and the infinity are able to give a new quality of logic, which is beyond revolution. Beyond reforming. The best word to use is that of a recalibration.

In the first of six columns, there is a blue, red, green, and yellow rectangle symbolic of the quality of an ancestral genome. And in the next stage, it is doubled. And it is doubled because it is paired. It has a paired-ness. And they're symmetrical. And they have a complex energy relationality. And they are able then to have a quality where this is developed. Because the relationality through the cemetery, through the paired-ness, gives a third stage. And it is a stage characterized in genomic development in the study of DNA. In the study of the way in which there is a new quality emerging constantly. Especially because they have been doing this now for several generations. And the quality is that in the third stage there are repetitions that are extraneous to the play. And they are deleted so that it is not a confusing quality of, again, having a multiplicity of, uh, redundancies.

This is a very puzzling stage. The deleting stage. Where redundancies are left out has a peculiar quality. In life, in organisms, not only in their DNA, but in the way in which that double helix begins to have a complexity that increases because the double helical quality of DNA also has a interesting play that develops where the DNA in its helix will have an opportunity to seem as if it is a closed coil become a link, a circle, a ring. And each one of them has this quality. So that it has a quality of having a pair. A symmetrical pair of two rings which are magically, as it seems, linked.

And one of the most interesting ways to express the wonderment when this was recognized, when this was found out on Long Island, the Cold Spring Harbor lab. Because it had a community of men and women who were really not only interested in all of these things together. But they were interesting, each, as one would say. And that all of this right handedness, coupled with the communal left handedness, gave a kind of a creative symphony of chiralities. And so, the magnetic complement of the dimensions of consciousness began to work its magic in another one of the Cold Spring Harbor Labs publications. I think they're now up to 50 or 60 publications by 2015.

At this time in 2009, when Untangling the Double Helix was published. I think they had run up to about 50, uh, volumes. The subtitle of Untangling the Double Helix: DNA Entanglement and the Action of the DNA Topoisomerases. Plural isomerases. Topo from mathematics. Uh, very often Greek is the language is used because that's the language that the mathematics became expressible to a degree of specificality…specificity that is still with us with Pythagoras about 2500 years ago. Consciously, a little bit more several generations before.

Topos is the way in which a branch of mathematics, the very term mathematics comes from Mathematici, as Pythagoras would say, and those participating in learning through a mathematici. Those who could vision. Those who would go into that fifth dimension. Into that visioning and play in that visioning. So that the four dimensions of the universe became, uh, a play of increasing possibilities of furthering recognition. And in the mathematici they began to see the distribution in terms of the time in its continuity. In its true dynamic with distributed throughout the dimensions of space. And so, the Greek word topos, when you add ology, the study of topos, the study of, uh, the spatial distribution became topology. And the branch of topology is the root with topos and isomers is an organic quality of research into DNA and into biochemistry and into the way in which isomers become the creative development of variations and differentiations. And the A.S.E. iso, isomorays, um, is, uh, an indication that this is an organic, um, compound, uh, aspect that can be worked with scientifically.

Uh, and so is a topoisomerase is the quality of the way in which one can begin to investigate, um, the way in which we can untangle the double helix of DNA. Especially when it gets to be the pair of links. And that this linking of the rings that the DNA helix is able to engender continues to have its double helix quality of continuity. So that the linking of the two together begins to develop a topology where there is in the isomerase because of the double ring linking continuing to go, um, crisscrossing that is not the breaking of rings because they are not really rings. They seem that way in the universe. But in a cosmic dimensionality they're able to be understood, to be, uh, linked.

And one of the ways in which is expressed in the author of Untangling the Double Helix, James C. Wang Chinese American. Um, he has a Chapter nine further, quite a bit further into the book, um, some 80% through. Chapter nine Beyond DNA Un-Entanglement: New Twists on An Old Theme. And he begins by writing and we read,
As we saw in the previous chapters, the DNA isomerases were among the earliest pioneers of the DNA world. And their ascendancy was likely to be closely tied to the gradual lengthening of DNA and the emergence of ring-shaped DNA molecules. The type one A enzymes, and probably the type b1-1b enzymes as well were on the scene before the divergence of bacteria euKarya and archaea.

In other words, organic life before it became kingdoms of whole species the, uh, eukaryotes are cellular with a membrane of permeable membrane. The type 1A enzymes and probably type 1B enzymes as well were on the scene before the divergence of bacteria and eukaryotes and archaea. So, at the very sourcing of whole kingdoms of phyla. Empires of species. Of which there are untold thousands. And in the cosmos trillions.

We'll look a little later at the way in which a quality of science, the weekly Science magazine for the planet, uh Paired with Nature, a weekly science journal for the entire planet, in English. A whole issue on avian genomes. A special issue sequencing across the bird species tree. And the tree is like a spectrum of light, as in the rainbow, as in the color spectrum. And by the way, the rainbow by itself, of course, has a recognizable ordinary spectrum of colors.

And one of the, uh. great thresholds in science was, uh, about 800 years ago. This is a reprint, The Dimensions of, uh, Color. And, uh, it was published just a few years ago. Uh, it is a translation out of the Latin of Robert Grosseteste De Color, additional translation and interdisciplinary analysis and a whole group of men and women who participated in this. Published in Toronto, Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies. Because Robert Grosseteste was not only the Bishop of Lincoln in, in, uh, England. He was the great professor at Oxford University. And he had a prize student who became one of the greatest scientists of all time. One of the greatest visionaries of all time. His name was Roger Bacon.

And Robert Grosseteste, one time after a rainstorm outside of Oxford pointed it out to him said, Roger, you see that rainbow? And actually, there are pairing of rainbows if one is very careful about one's recognition. But he said in that rainbow every drop of water is a rainbow. prismatically. It is this quality of the distribution in, not just perception, but in the conscious recognition that increases perception to be able to vision. And every drop of rainbow as a drop of water. Water is able actually to come together so that droplets merge and become larger droplets become actually a flow, a continuity, and become a river. Into an ocean. Into a molecule H2O water that is cosmically universal.

Sands of Titan as the lead story in nature of the first issue of 2015. The striations of the dunes of Titan are recognizable because one finds them in desert regions on Earth. One finds them in desert regions on Mars. And it is understandable that it's not sand on Titan. Titan is way too cold for sand. It is particles of water that have condensed and become almost like granular, small like grains of sand and even smaller. And the winds of Titan, a very large moon, 5200 kilometers in diameter, quite huge. The largest moon in the star system, ours. One begins to recognize that the micro ice granules, that is the sand on Titan the way in which the avian genome has been looked at not as a genome, but out of the 35 different clads of species of birds, clads of phyla, of species of birds.

The research and it lists more than 100 researchers around the planet. Uh, the first 31 are all Chinese. Even though the institute that they're members of has its home base in Beijing most of them work at the Shenyang branch of it. And they took a species out of 30 of the 35 clans of birds, of Aves, of Avians, and, uh, sequenced their genomes. And thus made a complex conscious rainbow. You know, on your computer, you have rainbow selection of colors of about several million colors. The same in science now of the way in which even just six years beyond Untangling the Double Helix, which is a watershed at the time. He was saying one has a very interesting way of looking at this. The gradual lengthening of DNA and the emergence of ring-shaped DNA molecules. The type one A enzymes and probably one type B working before there were bacteria, eukaryotes, archaea. In earlier years of the DNA topoisomerases their mission was probably largely limited to alleviating DNA entanglement problems. How do the rings entangle? That when they do it develops as life will develop, as the dimensions will play. And one has, uh, helical interchanges where the multiplicity of not their breaking of their ring-ness, but the interpenetration. And more and more you get a geometry. You get three exchanges. Five exchanges. And pretty soon you have a very complex way. They're not broken. The symmetries are playing out the way in which the creative quality of life is worth looking at.

And after the break, we'll take a further look at the way in which the future in the new past is not the new past as a ring and the future is the ring. But together they give us increasingly the structure of presence, which is shareable. Let's take a break.

END OF SIDE ONE

Let's come back to the quality of vision. Consciousness emerges whole. Larger than whole. As an infinite field. Entering into vision once was characterized about 1000 years ago, halfway around the world as entering the realm of the incomprehensible. His name was, uh, Chandrakirti was a great Mahayana philosopher.

In 1985, a volume was published by Cambridge University Press. Uh, 1988, it was put into paperback. I bought a copy. Visionary Republic. And its subtitle was Millennial Themes in American Thought 1756 to 1800 by Ruth Bloch. She did a wonderful job.

Uh, her Table of Contents on Visionary Republic she divided it into thirds. At first, The Beginning the Development of a Millennial Tradition in Colonial America. Part two, The Rise and Decline of Millenarianism in the Revolutionary Era. And the third, The Eschatological Revival of the 1790's.

And when one looks at the 1790's, you have, for instance, in Britain you have the emergence of the Shelley's. Mary Shelley, born in 1797. Percy becoming able to finally be alchemically experimenting in the 1790's and writing. Jefferson coming back from refusing to participate any more in the cabinet of Washington. Uh to become a secretary of state and to finally run for the presidency in 1800, which was a watershed. The study of final things eschatological in this quality.

One of the great, um, pivots and what we looked at all during 2014, the time forms of civilization, that there are huge thresholds of complete renewal. Not just a new age, but a new ages. And ages, like a millennium, a thousand years. Millennial themes paired a 2000-year Aon period. And the carrier wave of those time forms has a reference wave, which is the way in which there is a calibration of how this new carrier wave will have its key for its compositions. Its whole spectrum of, uh, its, uh, keys. The reference wave and the carrier wave have a midpoint. And as any kind of geomot…geometry, history is, uh, very much a geometry. One of Pythagoreans, uh, um, wisdom sayings, geometry is history and so forth. Is the midpoint and the midpoint is 1825.
In 1825, one finds Jefferson in his old age 85, completing the founding of the University of Virginia. He did the program. He designed the buildings architecturally. The whole layout. The five buildings on each side, making ten. Making a double hand. Reaching over this enormous rectangular quad leading to the culminating domed building. Very much in a pair with his Monticello up on the mountain above Charlotte. And was a 12th member of the University of Virginia. And William Blake finished the illustrations to The Book of Job in 1825. Was at work on illustrations to Dante's Divine Comedy and many other things.

In 1824, a European visionary, born in 1771, his name was Robert Owen. He was Welsh. Moved his utopian community in its nascent development in 1824 to the United States, to the farthest reach of the United States that he could go in 1824. And, uh, he went not as far as the Mississippi River, but as far as one could go on the Ohio River before it would eventually merge with the Mississippi. Uh, the river that is major there is called the Wabash. Which is the river that is the dividing line between Indiana. named for Indians and Illinois, named for the tribe of Illinois. And that Wabash just before it empties into the huge flow of the Ohio which, uh, is, uh, immense at the time, at the place. And it's there that they founded a utopian community.

And that utopian community was a redoing of the utopian community in England, which was called New Lanark. And this new world utopian community was called New Harmony. And New Harmony Indiana is still there. They had 1000 people, men, and women in a utopian community. And they were, uh, interested in finding a way to have not the highs and lows of a mis polarized gender, um, economic circumstance and so forth, a way to distribute their humanity. To have in a an unfettered, a unforced false kind of political economy, of social separations. And the freedom of all of those individuals became a community that was able to be not only, um, thriving, but very prosperous. Quite prosperous.

Um, up the Wabash, not very far from New Harmony was the French fort at Vincennes, which was linked with the French fort even further up the Wabash with Terre Haute. And the great general in the Revolutionary War that began to keep a kind of frontier extension resonance of the new colonies become the United States was, uh, George Rogers Clark. And there's a big statue to Clark on his horse in the town square of Vincenza. And my family, who were the first to develop a town on the other side of the Wabash in Illinois, West Union, Illinois. Um, I was slated to be born in Vincennes because of family history. And New Harmony was extremely important because it was the new world resonance in a much larger way than the New Lanark.

But it was the New Lanark community that influenced one of the great founders of Evolutionary Theory in England, Alfred Russel Wallace. And Wallace's work is extremely important in coming back into play. And Penguin Classics just republished a month ago or so, um, Alfred Russel Wallace's The Malay Archipelago. Both volumes. And one volume in a paperback. The original two volume set in green cloth from, uh, 1869 is a testimony to Wallace's ingenuity. He, early on went to the Amazon. And, uh, his first accounting of that is, uh, a classic volume Travels on the, uh, Amazon and the Rio Negro. And it is the Amazon and the Rio Negro that gave him for the first time the realization that here we have the beginnings of an examination of species in nature to such an extent that he was able to be the first, along with his friend who went with him, uh, Henry, uh, Walter. Um, and the two of them were able to collect hundreds of specimens alive of different qualities of birds, of insects, especially of beetles. They had begun collecting, uh, uh…Henry Walter Bate, uh, and, uh, Alfred Russel Wallace had met as young men. And it was Bates that showed Wallace for the first time that he had collected several hundred specimens of beetle and they were all different. And they were all within about ten miles of the little English town, which he lived and worked. And showed him that there are so many species of beetles that one can hardly believe the complexity of the way in which life has made variations, differentiationsd Within just a species of beetle and that it must extend to all life forms. To plants. To animals, etc. And it was the beginning glimmerings of what would become evolutionary theory.

When Wallace was, after four years he began to get ill from the enervating qualities of the tropical, uh, Amazon, was sailing home to England with crates and crates and cages and cages of and notebooks and everything. Um, in Mid Atlantic, the ship caught fire, and everything burnt and sunk, except for one portfolio of his notebooks. But Wallace was of that, uh, quality that he got really enthused. Regained his health. And this time went to Indonesia. Went to the Malay Archipelago that is now Indonesia. And made the first collections there of life forms of plants that eventually would become, um, The Malay Peninsula Volumes and many other aspects of his work that just burgeoned.

It was a quality where he began to realize life is so divergent because nature itself loves to experiment and play and the same quality comes through in the next paragraph of James C Wang's Untangling the Double Helix DNA Entanglement and the Action of DNA Topoisomerases chapter nine Beyond DNA Un-Entanglement New Twists on an Old Theme.
In the earlier years of the DNA topoisomerases their mission with probably largely limited to alleviating DNA entanglement problems, which they accomplished splendidly. But their gradual ascendancy also opened new possibilities in the DNA world, as we shall see in this chapter Nature ever eager to explore new possibilities that arise from its countless trials of twiddling and tweaking its inventions would hardly be expected to resist new opportunities in one of the most treasured gems the material of which genes are made. Because the double helix is like a jewel in its complexity and its facets in probability are exceeded by infinity, which makes them possible. All possible worlds beyond probability. In the preceding chapters, our emphasis has been on how nature responded to problems manifested by the coiling and entanglement of intracellular, intracellular DNA. Here we shift our focus now to how nature might have taken advantage of some of these manifestations to turn a liability into an asset. In this respect, DNA super coiling is by far the most important and best studied example. DNA super coiling in blue headline as a space in which chapter nine suddenly shifts and gear goes into a different threshold. The subtitle of DNA Super Coiling. A much more lively DNA in its negatively super coiled state.

One of the keys to it that comes out, especially in what we began today, a couple of pages from Genomes, Hillary Susman and Maria Smit's volume from Cold Spring Harbor. And we looked at the way in which the stages of for a schematic model of whole genome duplication with four chromosomes followed by massive gene loss, chromosome fusions and fissions enter and intra chromosomal rearrangements. We looked at the way in which the four colors of the chromosomes were placed together as a set in which they were paired in the second set. And in the third set of how they went through a phase. Because they are phases.

You cannot understand learning unless you are able to graduate from seasons and their limited diagrams to phases and their dynamic and from there to dimensions in their reality.

The third was the deletions, a whole phase of deletions of redundancies. And yet and yet there are exceptions where a pair, which would be ostensibly redundant, are both preserved. They are both preserved because there is what we would colloquially call in a limited way a potential differentiation. But in fact, research shows that it is an explorable, for nature She loves to exploit any kind of opening, and the openings are in between all of the wavelets, all of the particalities, all the time everywhere. The zeroes and infinities are always possible.

So, a fourth phase comes out in which inter chromosomal rearrangements begin to shift. And instead of having the lines of relationality, one begins to have the, uh, the inner changes go in different, um, qualities of diagonals. And from there, a fifth phase of fusions and fissions in which they completely change. And then the translations in which, uh, everything is changed.

If you look at the symbol you find eight-pointed star. Then you find the eight-pointed star is doubled. And then you find the eight-pointed star is tripled. And then you begin to get a kind of a composition that looks like modern abstract art in the 20th century. Like Kandinsky and Murrow and so forth. You get into something that proliferates then and it begins to look very much like as if it were chaotic. It is not chaotic at all. It is complex. It is inter-relational. And down below is a master blue diagrammatic of the way in which 22 different groups of possibilities now are occurring. And all of this is just a couple of pages followed by another couple of pages.

And here's what Wang writes at the bottom paragraph. A couple of pages into discussing this diagram, "Supporting the view Genome and hence gene duplication is a driving force behind the emergence of functional novelty." And, um, the whole development of this begins to have an extraordinary complexity.
Um, they, the deletion process takes place because, um, its supernumerary gene copies are not under selection. In other words, when one is dealing with just natural selection redundancies are deleted. But if they're not, in some cases deleted, it's because there are different possibilities available. And thus, rapidly acquire. When they're under selection the deletions are very, very rapid. Extinction is a natural way of flicking off the redundancies because the possibilities are going to be enormously complex as it is. They are not necessary. But they are flicked off not because they're not necessary. They receive no energy. Because it isn't a question of, oh, they exist. Their existentiality is a vibration of reoccurrence. Every particle, every wave let, if one goes into a real profound Scientia occurs trillions of times per the smallest time unit you can think of. They don't just wink out in nanoseconds or picoseconds or femtoseconds or Atos seconds. Those are the vibrations of things and their energy wave. But the source is spontaneous from zero and from infinity. So, that one learns finally how to learn. It was happening in this little cove on Long Island just a few years ago.

The choice of which copy will be deleted is driven by the first mutation to occur in one of the two copies. A process that must be random since ultimately each sister chromosome inherits about half of the initial gene complement.

How does it inherit half? Because the gene to reiterate, to reproduce, splits. It's a paired. It's a symmetrically paired. But it isn't polarity because it's in a special dynamic, and that dynamic eventually, uh, is able to make a transposition in terms of place. The topos. So that in that whole process of splitting, of making the new genes pair. Or the new cells, etc., etc., etc. There comes into play what, uh, a woman who experimented with primordiality of motherhood on a cosmic scale. Uh, her name was Barbara McClintock. **inaudible word** is about five feet tall. Played the banjo. Never married. Always tended her children, which was crops of Mayan corn. Maize. And she's the one, after several generations of doing this, they finally Watson and his community brought her to Cold Spring Harbor. And there's even a huge building named after McClintock now. She won the Nobel Prize because she's the one that discovered that in this exchange, she called them transposons. The creativity, the creative imagining of life is in the changing of the topology within the double helix itself. And because then the inner penetration of the rings, and they turn out to have a symmetry of chirality. They're right-handed in this area of the galaxy and of, uh, the galaxy and of the, uh galactic universe and.

But there is a left-handed quality that comes into play in the creativity and also in the remembering. It isn't just that the brain remembers, it's that every aspect remembers. There is a memory in the body, in the cells, in the molecules and the atoms. That is available for the dimensions of consciousness to creatively imagine and remembering with them. This is real.

Some duplicate copies are not deleted in this case, implying either that both copies are immediately placed under selection. That deleterious mutation partially obliterates the function of one copy. Or that this is then leading into a transposon dance of changing partners, changing shares, changing locales.

And so, the topo, topology of isomerases becomes a whole portal highway of investigation that for the last, um, decade at least worldwide, planetary wide, you begin to get the quality of being able to take 100 men and women, at least just for the lead article of eight in this issue of just one magazine, one weekly issue of it on the avian genome. And to finding that there is a creativity and to remembering that we can share in on a planetary scale. And that this is not only ongoing, it is forth going in a huge way.

In addition to nature and science as weekly journals, twice a month is published Icarus. The international one might better say The Planetary Journal of Solar System Studies. It only concerns itself with star system studies. It always concerns itself and that only and that always is one of the visions of Carl Sagan at Cornell back in the 1960's. In fact, the editor in chief, um, uh, this time, Philip Nicholson, is still the editor in chief. Uh, Philip D Nicholson. He's at Cornell. So, it…in Ithaca, alongside of its Lake and Upper, uh, New York State.

This entire issue, almost 400 pages, two weeks' worth of star system studies is all about Pluto. Because later this year in July the New Horizons exploration will cruise by Pluto and its giant moon Charon, as a double planet and its planetary system, for the very first time extending our scientific remembrance and creativity, creative imagining. So that the entire family, traditional family of the star system. Pluto was discovered in 1930. And all this time it's been mysterious. And now this summer is going to join the scientific visionary quality where more and more the population of this planet is not just going to be planetary, but it's going to be star system wide founded. Looking out on the interstellar frontier is a real frontier. Who's out there. Will be there.
