Once a flourishing river, this land has
matured into a moist, young meadow...
But the death of one becomes
the birth of the next. The lives of many things may form a chain through time
and space - the death of two hydrogen atoms some 93 million miles away on the
sun, became a burst of light that would be absorbed here; the soil, rich with
the decomposed plants from a marsh long ago, provides the nutrients that bring
robust life today. You can plan on life being on this Earth for a long, long
time. Death begets life.
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." -
