What will your garden look like in 2,000,000 (2 Million) years time?

(The Earth is reputed to be 36,000,000,000 years old. That is 36 Thousand
Million)

Just think, how important are you really? ........ ;-)

Well the real point is, Mike, all those years of evolution and
improvement have been leading up to..........me!

and you think you are important?

Sorry, NO subscribers to this newsgroup are important, no matter what they
think.

Kindest possible regards

He could at least have got the age right. (The Earth is about 4.5
billion years old; the estimates of the time that have passed since the
Big Bang have converged on 13.7 billion years.)

Which goes to show, that no matter which figures you apply, man's presence
on Earth is nothing less than a layer of dust. So I ask again, how important
are you in the minute time we are here?

Not at all, but look how important SOME people think they are :-)))

sigh
I have no idea what my garden will look like even a million years hence.
It's not anything I will have to worry about.
At the moment it's full of snowdrops and the species crocus are rearing
their heads, it's lovely and gives me hope that spring is not far away.

Well, given that most current cosmology would be rejected from a
fiction competition on the grounds of insufficient plausibility,
I am disinclined to criticise anyone for choosing an arbitrarily
different figure. I am not inclined to believe him, either, of
course.

Personally, I like Reginald's views on evolution: "in most people
that I know, the process is far from complete." This thread merely
confirms me in by views.

OK, I confess....I haven't had a big bang lately! I'm really sorry you
have such a low opinion of your self - sadly I think you may be right.

This is beautiful. I'm going to send it to my German friend, she thinks she
understands English. Until she saw this ;-)

The way I put the sentiment is that any sufficiently advanced physics is
indistinguishable from nonsense. (Tip of the hat to Sir Arthur.)

Yes :-) Actually, that's not the thing that annoys me most about the
cosmologists - it's the way that all their evidence depends on a very
complicated analysis of the data, which can only be done by assuming
their hypothesis! It's tortoises all the way down ....

We have damn-all direct evidence of general relativity at high space-
time stresses, or even that the red shift is due to recession, and
there are alternative hypotheses that are mathematically consistent
and compatible with known physics. Yes, they're probably wrong, but
that doesn't prove the current hypotheses are right.
