Wow! Truth hurts! – Extremely scientific!

                      Life is a state that distinguishes organisms from non-living objects, such as non-life, and dead organisms, being manifested by growth through metabolism and reproduction. Some living things can communicate and many can adapt to their environment through changes originating internally. A physical characteristic of life is that it feeds on negative entropy. In more detail, according to physicists such as John Bernal, Erwin Schrödinger, Eugene Wigner, and John Avery, life is a member of the class of phenomena which are open or continuous systems able to decrease their internal entropy at the expense of substances or free energy taken in from the environment and subsequently rejected in a degraded form.

A diverse array of living organisms can be found in the biosphere on Earth. Properties common to these organisms—plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea and bacteria—are a carbon- and water-based cellular form with complex organization and heritable genetic information. They undergo metabolism, possess a capacity to grow, respond to stimuli, reproduce and, through natural selection, adapt to their environment in successive generations.

An entity with the above properties is considered to be a living organism, that is an organism that is alive hence can be called a life form. However, not every definition of life considers all of these properties to be essential. For example, the capacity for descent with modification is often taken as the only essential property of life. This definition notably includes viruses, which do not qualify under narrower definitions as they are acellular and do not metabolize. Also, individual members of a species may not meet all the criteria, but are still considered alive, such as members of a reproducing species who are rendered unable to reproduce, or individuals in comas who are unable to respond to stimuli.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

The first day of fall

The first day of fall, or the “Autumnal Equinox” for 2008, falls (no pun intended) on Monday, September 22nd.  (and for those who can never get enough information, or are Jeopardy Junkies, it occurs at 11:44:16 EDT)

Fall has always been my favorite time of year.  It’s hard to explain why, but I’ll give it a shot.  To me, fall seems as if it is a time of slowing down.  The slowing of our frenzied life of summer, when the eve’s begin to get cool. It’s a time for opening the window while you’re sleeping and listening to the crickets instead of the hum of the heater or the air conditioner.  It’s a time of balance, where the world stands still for a moment, the moment between growth and death.  It’s a maturing time, when the soil seems to hold a special loam and the richness of the leaves and even the air that we breath has a musky yet snappy smell, that tells you “time has passed and the world is about to sleep.”

Fall is a respite between the hot day’s of summer and the bone chilling day’s of winter, where everything seems to be in balance.  It helps you prepare for the breakneck speed of the upcoming holiday season, while affording you the opportunity to drink that hot cup of spiced apple cider.

Fall is a time of wandering the pumpkin patch for that special big one, and apple orchard’s for hand picked “Grannys” that will make a wonderful pie.  It’s the best time of year to do what my wife and I love to do, which is hike. (which is just another word for getting out there and enjoying the beauty of nature) unfettered by sweat and bugs.

It’s the time to rake leaves, which is just anouther way of “starting fresh.”  It’s a time for replenishing the pantry with hardy vegetables that will be turned into crock pot stews.  It’s a time when the twilight arrives early and you can walk the neighborhood in the dark at 6:00, unencumbered by loud music, traffic and lawnmowers.

Maybe that’s why I named this website “Twilight Earth.”  I like the balance between light and dark.  I like the quiet.  I like the coolness that reminds me that I’m alive and I like promise that fall gives us. “I getting ready to leave now, but I’ll be back.  I promise.”

Thanks for stopping by. Please look around and feel free to comment or share some of you’re own knowledge with myself and others, and as always, keep up the good fight and Alter the Eco!
