bio world: sources of power and materials
                                                                                                                                                                           5 BILLION YEARS before the Sun begins to expand,* is a long time on Earth. Won't what Man uses to build and power his world be consumed before then? Presently, solar, wind, and tidal power sources, as well as fuels derived from plants, which are renewable sources of energy, are realities. But out of what will we make the things which we power? CARBON FIBER BICYCLES are light, strong as steel, and guess what? They are made from the same thing as plant cell walls: cellulose is a CARBON compound. COAL and OIL are fossilized plant cell wall remains: coal is CARBON, petroleum is a mixture of HYDROCARBONS, long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms; both are derived from ancient plant life. If bicycles, why not car and train bodies, and I-beams used in construction, and all sorts of things? MADE FROM PLANTS, and the used items no longer wanted will be recyclable. NEED MORE MATERIAL? PLANT MORE! And an almost complete elimination of sources of pollution. OTHERWISE, YOUR APPROXIMATELY 5 BILLION YEAR* FUTURE DOESN'T MEAN DIDDLY, ON A POLLUTION-RIDDEN PLANET, WHERE EVERYTHING RUNS OUT LONG BEFORE THAT! BUT DON'T GIVE UP HOPE FOR YOUR DESCENDANTS: THE BEGINNINGS OF THESE THINGS ARE REALITIES TODAY! Ever hear of BioWilly? It's diesel fuel that's 10% derived from plants!                      The one problem with this scenario is that nitrogen-based fertilizers, derived from petroleum reserves, are presently essential for agricultural production. Our food supplies, including plants, and animals fed using plants, will diminish severely when petroleum deposits are exhausted, resulting in worldwide population decline, unless fertilizers not derived from petroleum can be developed. Present plans for fuels derived from plants, are subject to the same restriction.                                                                                                                                                                                                       Recent media coverage (Jan. 2019) describes a process which extracts energy compounds from ordinary cellulose, which all plants contain, and uses the compounds to supply such things as very low-calorie sugar, plastics which can be programmed to decompose after selected lengths of time, and fuel which can be added to gasoline, making up 30% of the mixture. The media has also announced (Jan. 2019) the development of a process deriving organic fertilizers from plant life, eliminating dependency upon nitrogen-based fertilizers derived from petroleum.                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Also note the extensive use of electric cars in China. The cars can presently travel 200 miles on a full charge, and recharging stations are widespread. Chinese cities have a severe air pollution problem due to the burning of fossil fuels.                                                                                                                                                                                                          As of December, 2019, automobile manufacturers are marketing electric cars in the United States, including all electric Jaguars, Volkswagens, and Ford Mustangs.                                                                                                                                                                                                                Several major retail outlets are also beginning to use self-driving cars to make deliveries to customers.                                                                                                                                                                                     As of early July, 2023, Alef Aeronautics unveiled its all electric "Model A", a car which can be driven on roads, and flown in the air!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  My concept of the evolution of "species" of mind, if it is to do any good, must be seen by professionals in a variety of disciplines and specialties. This website makes sense, and is an overview of Mankind's past, present, and future, demonstrating a few simple principles of how things work. Further development of the ideas, and work on myriad details, will be done by others, if what is here is not lost or unexamined, and provided that the ideas are considered valid.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       I am publishing this in the 21st century, and the ideas are based upon knowledge unavailable when Charles Darwin published during the 19th. Darwin noticed differences in species inhabiting the various islands of the Galapagos. I witnessed significant mental and behavioral differences in the population of New York City, and adjacent areas of New Jersey. The two situations are similar. I am not, however, claiming to be Charles Darwin's equal, or someone nearly so.                                                                                                                                                               SCIENTIFIC THEORIES AND LAWS ARE SIMPLE AND UNIVERSAL.** I know of nothing inconsistent with the ideas presented here. I went to Rutgers for 8 1/2 years, and left graduate schools out of boredom with the amount of brute memorization. I've seen a lot in my 77 years of life, and all sorts of things are used on this website to support the ideas.                                                                                                                                 Everything I know, which bears relevance, fits. May your descendants outnumber the stars!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             *the presence of fossil bacteria in rock 3.45 billion years old, indicates the existence of the sun prior to that time, and the sun today is a middle-aged star.        A star in old age is a "white dwarf", which results from compression of the star, following its expansion into a "red giant". Further compression of the "white dwarf" results in an explosion, or "supernova".                                                                                                                                                                          **the importance of an idea does not depend upon its being difficult or complex. The idea of the wheel is simple. The "universality" of a theory, however, validates its importance. In Biology, "The Cell Theory" observes that all living organisms are composed completely of cells. This is consistent with subsequent forms of life having originated from unicellular species in Earth's primitive oceans. "String Theory", in Theoretical Physics, is an effort to explain all matter and energy in the Universe, as well as all laws of physics, as resulting from vibrating energy, or "strings". The Theory of Evolution presented on this website, explains a process of development applying equally to matter and energy, life, mind, and Eternal Mind. It revises Darwin's concept, and applies the revised ideas to both body and mind, including Divine Mind.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             See the next 3 sections: "God and Man Evolving", "Eternal Mind using Random Chance", and "Advancement as Intrinsic to Evolution", under "contact".
