"只有骄敖和自信,才是女人最好的装饰品。一个没有信心,没有希望的女人,就算她长得不难看,也绝不会有那种令人心动的吸引力。这就正如在女人眼中,只要是成功的男人,就一定不会是丑陋的。只有事业的成功,才是男人最好的装饰品。" - 古龙

For what is Man in Nature
“For what is Man in nature? A nothingness in respect to infinity, a whole in respect to nothingness, a median between nothing and everything” - Pascal
This may sound depressing but if complexity is measured proportionally to the amount of energy flow flowing through a given amount of mass in a given amount of time as suggested by E. Chaisson, then life is much more complex than stars and human societies may be the most complex entities in the universe.
Big History
History has always been an interesting subject ...
depending on which part of history of course!
Recently I've started 'studying' [Big History].
It is not the normal history lessons where you learn in high school but the history of the universe as well.
It expands the scales of history from the beginnings of the universe to the present and even a glimpse into the future.
Weaving together multiple disciplines from cosmology, astrology, chemistry, geology, biology, and history of humanity, it tells the story of the human beings and the universe.
Note: Some may hold a different view of the beginnings of the universe, evolution theory, etc. But I guess the main objective of this study is to appreciate the different perspectives and views on the big history...
