Until very recently, the heavenly bodies have been investigated only with reference to their position and their laws of motion, and a quarter of a century ago astronomy was little more than celestial topography.
After the planet becomes theirs, many millions of years will have to pass before a beetle particularly loved by God, at the end of its calculations will find written on a sheet of paper in letters of fire that energy is equal to the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of light. The new kings of the world will live tranquilly for a long time, confining themselves to devouring each other and being parasites among each other on a cottage industry scale.

This rainforest is a global treasure that stabilizes the climate and is home to most land life on the planet and to millions of people. It's taken thousands of years to grow and once it's destroyed it's gone forever. Unless laws against these sorts of forest crime are rigorously and urgently enforced to protect the rainforest and its people, we'll have a biological catastrophe on our hands.
Modern-day access has completely changed how we talk about and think about the frontier of the cosmos.

This is a new generation of the representation of the frontier of science.

I am thrilled that we are here to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Planet Hollywood Towers by Westgate. Westgate Resorts is one of the largest and most successful vacation ownership companies in the world, and this incredible building will dramatically increase guest traffic, room count and the overall Planet Hollywood Resort Casino experience. I could not be more pleased to be working with David Siegel, a pioneer and visionary in the tourism industry.

I would like to thank David Edelstein and Boulevard Invests for working diligently with us on integrating our collective properties.
