@[StellaSymphony:29143] old post I know..... just read today that rusia tested december 2018 a nuklear misle that goes 27x the speed of sound and boasted it therefore cannot be detected. I tend to think of birds flying at the speed of sound, is how it all began with the Wright Bros. using the flight of birds as inspiration to invent airplanes, and much of scientific endeavor mushroomed from then on.... quantifying(analysing and measuring and copying) the speed of sound, light, planetary motion, etc....in such a short timespan, when considering the time span humanity has existed on the earth. Birds come flying from the underground....perhaps imagery of the underworld, the less than "noble" motivations taking flight from dark places(the underworld), that determine actions of mankind that manifest themselves in action and what is created in the world material-wise....including buildings....the material manifestations arising from nefarious schemes...the "ideas that you'll never find all the inventors could never design" these nefarious motivations as birds flying from the underground are that which the inventors could never design.... A story as old as time; the book "Heart of Darkness" is an enlightening (short) read, about what lenghts noble Englishmen took and what places they were led to, to generate income so as to maintain their manor houses(as the industrial revolution took away the body of servants that previously maintained the properties cheaply), to maintain their reputation back home, to keep their wives and children living in the manner to which they were accustomed....the families partying, blissfully unaware of what was being done to keep them living the good life. The example of the manor house maintenance, started out as a good thing centuries ago with the fair exchange of lords and ladies setting up properties to care for and protect their workers, then became a burden that needed to be maintained... nowadays some manifestations of the material world seems to arise from less than noble motivations.... My 2 cents... |
