Not really fair inasmuchas the chimps probably weren't stoned. 20:48 bone daddy Wednesday, November 21, 2007When we think of "survival of the fittest" we always think of biggest, meanest, strongest, etc., but it occurs to me when I read this article about giant, 8 feet long sea scorpions that the giant creature with the three foot claws is gone, but the horseshoe crab is still around in all its ugly, harmless glory. One scientist is quoted as saying he'd rather be in the water with a shark than a "eurypterid." Since it's not clear if the sea scorpions could swim or just crawl on the bottom like lobsters, I'd say that depends on 1) what kind of shark and 2) how deep the water is.

KSR's Next I've sold a book about the birth of science called The Galileans. It will have a science fiction element, but a strongly historical narrative as well. I researched the subject when I was writing The Years of Rice and Salt, which includes an alternative scientific revolution. Having done that, I thought, 'Well, what actually happened is fascinating.' So this new book is constellated about the figure of Galileo. Because he was famously put on trial by the Pope, he's still a good way to discuss the relationship between science and religion, and how those two can be reconciled (or not).He also recommends a historical novelist I've never heard of: Cecelia Holland. If he thinks she's one of our greatest novelists, I'm intrigued. Labels: Books, sci-fi, science 21:07 c-dog Friday, March 30, 2007Get the kids! Otters holding hands, be sure to watch to the end.
