The Alberta Badlands are rich in history,
geography, biology, geology and more. However, they lack water - that is, in the
last several thousand years...
As the years passed in this
fossil-rich land, it moved from a thriving wetland wildlife community, through
glacier covered ice-land, through rushing meltwater to become an arid, lifeless
riverbed. Then, with its past life in clear view once again, new desert life
emerged. Given time, "life" always ultimately wins. Though humans may
not truly be able to survive in the environment they are creating, rest assured
that other forms of life will ascend to the briefly-held throne...
This website
is dedicated to the proposal that the metaphorical relationships drawn
between any two disciplines are, in fact, universal, being
isomorphic mathematical derivations of the Unified Field Theory. Further, that this symmetric
aspect of
metaphor is extrapolatable both linearly and laterally, thus may be harnessed to mathematically
predict missing knowledge
and invention in all
other disciplines: an interdisciplinary Rosetta stone of
universal scope.
"The
metaphor reminds us that the universe is full of cousins." -
