#past

tpq1980@iviv.hu

Information that was fact in the past has since transpired to be falsehood in the present. Some of today's facts will be the falsehoods of the future. A fact is very strong evidence that supports a particular assertion, interpretation or observation logically & consistent with the current schema of understanding.

Facts can be true & can be false but truth is always true. Many facts of the past were considered true by the people of the past, but have since transpired to be completely or partially false. We must always keep in mind the epistemological limitations of knowledge and the influence of time on information deemed factual.

ESA’s Million-Year Time Machine

Imagine that we could take control of #time and run it backwards and forwards to see #how the #MilkyWay evolved in the #past and how it will do so in the #future. Well, that’s what the ESA Gaia space observatory does by mapping almost every visible star in the Milky Way. This is how one small satellite is giving us an insight into the past and the future.

(and also #Sunday-photo-edit )

Note: if you do not use gimp, but still want to play along, just use the tag #Sunday-photo-edit and edit the images with your favorite image editor

#JayWeidner: #Crimes Against #Architecture - The #Deliberate #Destruction of Our #Magical #Past

#Alchemy + Architecture. Mr #Weidner posits a major and nefarious #cover-up of our #history around 1000 AD. Homo Sap has been around considerably longer than the 2,500 years worth of documented #history we have, and that's all that we have. #How could that be?

Past and Present

That's what I call this photo.

Nicely fitting with that notion, and our era, the Moody Blues addressed "Days of Future Passed"

Lunch Break: Peak Hour

I'd forgotten what fine - classical! - composers and players they were. Here with the London Festive Orchestra!This begins with what I experienced as the energy and brilliance of Gershwin, and proceeded into classic, transcendent, Moody Blues.

Long live the days of normalcy, tradition, and dreams, past & future!

A quotation by Commager, Henry Steele

We should not forget that our tradition is one of protest and revolt, and it is stultifying to celebrate the rebels of the past — Jefferson and Paine, Emerson and Thoreau — while we silence the rebels of the present.

Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist

“Who Is Loyal to America?” Harper’s Magazine #1168 (Sep 1947)

A quotation by Sarton, May

In the middle of the night, things well up from the past that are not always cause for rejoicing — the unsolved, the painful encounters, the mistakes, the reasons for shame or woe. But all, good or bad, give me food for thought, food to grow on.

May Sarton (1912-1995) Belgian-American author

At Seventy (1984)

A quotation by Fussell, Paul

The past, which as always did not know the future, acted in ways that ask to be imagined before they are condemned. Or even simplified.

Paul Fussell (1924-2012) American cultural and literary historian, author, academic

“Thank God for the Atom Bomb,” The New Republic (26 Aug 1981)
