CHANGE

At Planetary Mysteries we believe that SHIFT HAPPENS; sometimes when you least expect it or when you're the only one that notices it, but always when it must.

Perhaps the International community did hit the snooze alarm instead of answering the wake-up call of September 11, 2001. Maybe the Aliens don't exist, and midnight will never come but every spin of the Planet brings a new day here on Earth, and the Human history of Sentience alone may be time enough to realize our purpose here.

In 1970, Futurist Alvin Toffler made an amazing observation. If the last 50,000 years of Man's existence were divided into lifetimes of 62 years each, there would have been 800 such lifetimes to date... the first 650 having been spent in caves. Only in the last 70 had writing made it possible to effectively communicate History & experience from one generation to the next. During the last 6 did Mankind see a printed word and in the last 4 were we able to measure time with any precision. Electric motors appeared in the last two, and the majority of all material goods currently taken for granted have been developed in the 800th lifetime.

Another way to understand this exponential learning curve is to realize that those first 650 lives represent a flat, horizontal line on an event over time chart that now, is headed straight up at an ever increasing speed.

Will Humanity's intrinsic curiosity and innate sense of adventure reach the escape velocity necessary to overcome the gravity well of those 5,000 decades of life on Earth?

Planetary Mysteries has, since it's inception, been dedicated to presenting the cosmically baffling in a visually engaging and understandable way

A task ever more important today, as 2004 is definitely deep into the unknown of the next, perhaps the last, lifetime by Mr. Toffler's reasoning.

SHIFT HAPPENS!
