Greg H. Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 It seems to me most strange that men should fear, Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it will come. --Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare No point being depressed about it - given the history of our planet, it was unlikely the human race was going to spin on forever anyway, unless we make a concerted effort to be somewhere else when the next extinction level event happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 It seems to me most strange that men should fear, Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it will come. --Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare No point being depressed about it - given the history of our planet, it was unlikely the human race was going to spin on forever anyway, unless we make a concerted effort to be somewhere else when the next extinction level event happens. I like that. If I may, I'll borrow from the bard as well. There is a special providence in the fall of a sparrow an asteroid. If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, then it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come. The readiness is all. --Hamlet, William Shakespeare 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StringJunky Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) I'm glad I didn't have a mouthful of coffee when I read that. What would it have been, a new keyboard or phone? We would never share such disparate insights if this was a dry science forum and that's why I can happily live with the forums' rough edges. I see the rough edge as a necessary degree of freedom for stuff like this to happen. Edited February 20, 2015 by StringJunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
