“It is interesting to transport one's self back to the times when Astronomy began; to observe how discoveries were connected together, how errors have got mixed up with truth, have delayed the knowledge of it, and retarded its progress; and, after having followed the various epochs and traversed every climate, finally to contemplate the edifice founded on the labours of successive centuries and of various nations.” SelfTogetherScienceNationsInterestingProgressCenturyDiscoveryErrorsClimateVariousConnectedAstronomyLabourContemplatingTransportDelayedRetardedEdifice Author:Jean Sylvain Bailly
“Natural selection is just three factors - over-production, variation, and inheritance combined to produce adaptation to changing local environments. It's not a principle or progress; it's just a principle of local adaptation. You don't make better creatures in any cosmic sense; you make creatures that are better suited to the changing climates of their local habitats.” ThreeNaturalPrinciplesEnvironmentProgressProduceCreaturesClimateProductionsLocalsFactorsCosmicSelectionAdaptationInheritanceVariationNatural SelectionHabitat Author:Stephen Jay Gould

“This conclusion of trade agreements that go beyond the scope of mere tariff agreements, customs agreements, are most important and I'm very pleased we were able to bring this to fruition between Canada and the E.U. We've made great progress, particularly if we look at one of the great global issues, namely climate protection, without the engagement of the current administration under the leadership of Barack Obama, this Paris agreement would never have come about.” IfsLooksMadeImportantAbleIssuesProgressTradeMereClimateCurrentsProtectionConclusionAdministrationBarackParisCanadaAgreementCustomsEngagementScopeFruitionTariffsTrade AgreementsGlobal IssuesGreat Progress Author:Angela Merkel
