This is the question being asked today that is pressing The Earth, our lovely planet does not ever more urgently: how can we get out of possess life, it receives it by belonging to this nasty business? a solar and stellar system Without them, the Earth would die. In other words, if we The responses to this question remain took the Earth out of the solar system or confused and often unsatisfactory on were to cover it with an immense opaque an ethical level There is an effort to try plastic (which in a sense we are beginning and find less harmful products, more to do, especially on an energetic level by “ecological” equipment or to reproduce this saturation of Hertzian pollution we’re molecules from natural products, etc etc imposing on the atmosphere without having But the fundamental responses are not the slightest clue about what we are doing to be found there; access to sustainable, in order to use cell phones, GPS, satellites, human solutions, even if they shock the etc etc ), life would disappear almost teaching or scientific professions must be entirely found by thinking differently What does this mean? Let us now ask ourselves the following question: How does life arrive on Earth? In order to strengthen the expression of the And at the same time, many other living, of life, and thereby limit or suppress complementary questions: How does the sickness, we must have an entirely different solar system remain constant? Why do grasp of the world of the living than we the planets have such stable orbits, each do today We cannot fully understand life one with such different time frames (84 by dissecting a living organism until we days for Mercury and nearly 30 years for arrive at the infinitely small and in addition, Saturn)? What affinities are expressed by studying it on a strictly material level through these rhythms? Why is our solar Matter, which scientists adulate so much system moving at a rate of 30kms a second as a result of the incomplete training towards Sirius? What are the active forces they have received, is but a result, or that maintain these balances and what is the outcome of processes that have their meaning? There are dozens, hundreds fixed different substances is a precise of questions like these that should be asked form to end up as a vegetable species or of agricultural students so that they become something else What should interest us for aware in their future decisions of the impact a profound understanding of the plant are of their gestures the processes that created it, not the plant itself If we take the example of a pastry Initially one must only understand that chef who has made a cake, what interests behind these subtle, magnificent balances us is the chef more than the cake itself, there is first of all a balance of power that even if it’s analysed from every angle. This we could simplify by terms such as “solar is the same with matter These forces that attraction” and “gravity”.
